View From India | A deadly escalation

The Hindu  

Just as the world celebrated scientists and thinkers who bagged the Nobel prize last week, Israel witnessed the largest attack from Gaza on Saturday morning in what is possibly the country’s worst security crisis in half a century.Dozens of Hamas militants, using motorcycles, pickup trucks, boats, paragliders, and mid-range rockets, launched a highly coordinated attack, infiltrating Israeli cities, hitting military bases, and killing and taking hostage soldiers and civilians. “We are embarking on a long and difficult war,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said, in a troubling indication of a likely escalation. We stand in solidarity with Israel at this difficult hour,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said hours after thousands of rockets from the Gaza Strip slammed into south and central Israel. In what many observers called a rather problematic comparison, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, in an official video post on social media platform X, said: “What Israel is facing today, India suffered between 2004-14.
