Israeli Army chief in Kashmir

Srinagar, India, Sept 10, IRNA
India-Kashmir-Israeli Army Chief

Israel's Army chief, Major General Avi Mizrahi has arrived in Kashmir on an unscheduled visit, reports said today. However authorities here are tightlipped about the visit and they neither confirm nor deny the reports.

Maj Gen Avi Mizrahi, the chief of the Israeli ground forces, arrived in New Delhi on Tuesday on a three-day visit. He met the chiefs of India's army, navy and air force and discussed matters of mutual concern, including joint military training and exercises for the two armed forces.

Israel has offered to train Indian troops in counter-insurgency and anti-terrorist operations, the reports from New Delhi added.

Gen Mizrahi's visit to Kashmir comes at a time when the Muslim dominated state is engulfed in a massive anti-India agitation.

At least 50 persons have been killed in the uprising that began two months back with the tensions still high.

India and Israel have shared defense co-operation since diplomatic relations between New Delhi and Tel Aviv were established in 1992. The ties have become stronger in recent times with India emerging as the largest purchaser of Israeli arms since the beginning of the 21st century.

India has purchased the Phalcons Airborne Early Warning and Control Systems from Israel that would be fitted onto the Indian Air Force's three IL-76 heavy-lift transport aircraft.

It has also bought the Green Pine radars that warn of incoming enemy ballistic missiles.

The Indian armed forces also use Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles for intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance. The Indian Army uses Israeli night-vision equipment, particularly in Kashmir.
 
Probably to schedule another joint exercise, and to persuade india to buy more israeli anti0insurgency equipment. he is probably trying to assess the situation in kashmir first hand and determine what is necessary.
 
Probably to share their expertise on open-air concentration camps.
 
May be he is here to do some bussiness:

He is right. Most of the surveillance equipment on the LoC are Israeli and their experts have been constantly evaluating along with Indian Forces there as to what else is needed. He would most likely be there to asess the Israeli equipments and check for other needs and hold discussions with the Indian ground commanders there.

You are right but what an Israeli cheif of army staff has to do with that .
 
To make a on the ground assesement of the equipment and the shortcommings being faced by our paramilitary forces guarding the border due to that equipment. As mentioned in my previous post.
 
Definetely something is cooking coz his presence in Kashmir , can not be related merely to the sale of mil hardware. I am sure that India must be providing some Pakistan specific intel to the Israelis , its all just pressure on Pakistan coinciding with American threats.
 
Can you come with some less bizarre explanation?

as in determining how bad the insurgency is, and what type of equipment will be needed to counter it, and in what quantity. also, he might be assessing the stragtegic developments in kashmir, like whether IA is going to increase troop numbers etc.

well i think the strategic development is could be the strong reason as Saint mentioned it could be doing more with Pakistan specific information.
 
They already know their equipment is good. You can send in any junior level officer to make these assessments. It's obviously got to do with Pakistan and Kashmir.
