Social media were flooded with posts on Israel by mostly Indians, touting their “allyship” and supposed similarity of situations of being confronted with terror and thereby acting upon it.

India and Pakistan's latest military conflict has expanded, days after India carried out airstrikes in Pakistan that followed an attack by gunmen on tourists in India-controlled Kashmir last month.
