At least 26 people were killed in a terrorist shooting attack in an Indian-controlled part of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, per local reports.
A group called the “Kashmir Resistance” claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that it was unhappy that 85,000 “outsiders” live in the disputed area, leading to a “demographic change,” Reuters reported.
Netanyahu stated on Tuesday night that he was “deeply saddened by the barbaric terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir that killed and injured dozens of innocents.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families,” the premier stated. “Israel stands with India in its fight against terrorism.”
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar also condemned the incident, writing on social media: “Deeply saddened by the heinous terror attack on tourists in #Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. Israel stands united with India in the fight against terror.”
The Indian embassy in Israel thanked Sa’ar for his comment and said that “India deeply appreciates Israel’s solidarity with India in its fight against terror.”
