“Indian intelligence services have warned Israel that Jewish institutions, Chabad houses and Israeli tourists are under direct threat of terror attacks in the country.”
“Advanced plans by a terror cell associated with global jihad groups to target Israeli and Jewish sites throughout the country” have been uncovered and sites include “a synagogue in southern India and concentrations of Israelis in the country’s north and west.”
Jerusalem recently backed “India’s move to abrogate a key constitutional article that had given the regions of Kashmir and Jammu special status with limited autonomy.” So now violence, intimidation and thuggery are resorted to by jihadists which is a norm. What makes this new targeting of Jews in India more worrying is the possible level of Iranian influence. Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been in discussion with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Ayatollah Khamenei over Kashmir.
“India says Israeli, Jewish targets under immediate terror threat — reports,” Times of Israel, November 11, 2019:
Indian intelligence services have warned Israel that Jewish institutions, Chabad houses and Israeli tourists are under direct threat of terror attacks in the country, according to Israeli and Indian reports.
Channel 12 reported Monday that India unveiled specific information pointing to advanced plans by a terror cell associated with global jihad groups to target Israeli and Jewish sites throughout the country, including a synagogue in southern India and concentrations of Israelis in the country’s north and west.
The information — said to have possibly been received from intelligence services of a third, friendly country — also pointed to the option that an Israeli backpacker could be kidnapped.
India hasn’t yet apprehended the cell members, leading Jewish institutions to increase their security in response to the threat.
Last week, Indian news site City Today reported similar details, adding that the terror cells were linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. It said a cell had recently visited the southwestern city of Kochi to spy on Jews there.
That report said jihadists were attempting to hit Israeli targets as retaliation for Jerusalem’s recent backing for India’s move to abrogate a key constitutional article that had given the regions of Kashmir and Jammu special status with limited autonomy….

Indian intelligence warns that Israeli and Jewish targets are under immediate jihad threat
………………….
Thanks to Indian intelligence for this warning.
Both India and Israel are targets for Jihad.
Infidel says
Given the inate hostility of all Muslim countries and Jihadist groups towards Israel, why on earth would they expect Israel not to back India on the Kashmir issue?
Also, are they trying to pick selective targets, since targeting Hindus could lead to a backlash like the one in Modi’s Gujarat in 2002?
I would rather that Indian intel swept up all these cells in question, rather than warn Jerusalem to beef up security around what are essentially Indian, albeit Jewish, assets

I’m still glad they are warning potential targets in case some slip through the net.

China, Israel and India are the only three aware countries who understood the real intent of Islam’s goal.They don’t give a damn being called Islamophobes. Rest of the other states specifically the West comprising of the white Caucasian variety are completely oblivious of the danger they are slipping into due to their humongous stupidity despite their women being systematically raped by Muslims.

If only Israel and India has the sort of influence over Muslim countries that China does: name one Muslim country today that would dare give a bleep about what’s happening to Uighurs in Xinxiang

Quoting from a Forbes article:
India may be the only country in the world that has been free of anti-Semitic prejudice throughout its history. As the Jewish genealogical journal Avotaynu recently observed in an article on one Indian Jewish group, “The Bene Israel flourished for 2,400 years in a tolerant land that has never known anti-Semitism, and were successful in all aspects of the socio-economic and cultural life of the people of the region.”
Various reasons have been advanced for that–such as, the Hindu religion does not seek to convert those from other faiths. What we do know is that anti-Semitism seems alien to the Indian character.
Indeed, the most well-known Indian Jew is an eminent soldier: Lt. Gen. J.F.R. Jacob, who commanded Indian forces in the invasion of East Pakistan in 1971.
Ray Jarman says
For anyone visiting India, Goa and the Great Mosque is an eye opener. It is clean and a stroll down Rua dos Judeus or the street of the Jews to pay tribute to the Jews who were persecuted during the great inquisition of Jews from 1560 to 1812 provides one an insight to their steadfast and love of their God.

There is always a threat….never a moment passes that moslims are not planning to commit mass homicide of those who oppose them and islam.
This warning came because they slipped and their plans were discovered and India’s intelligence was on the ball to be there when the slip could be discovered. As a general rule, criminals are stupid (or they wouldn’t be criminals) and even though many are crafty, sneaky, and diabolic, they make mistakes.
Looking, searching, investigating, all have to be constant as the threat is constant. It is not by accident that these plans against Israel and the Jews, including a backpacker, were laid bare. Had India’s intelligence not been working as it is, there would be a greater possibility that horrific events could take place from this cell.
Everyone, everywhere needs to be alert to the dangers that islam and its adherents present. It is a constant and precautions must also be constant.

Here we go again. Got a grievance? And Muslims always have a grievance. Attack a random Jew. You’ll feel so much better!

“Concentrations of Israelis” – an unfortunate choice of words?! Did anyone else feel a jolt of discomfort at these words?!

I understand but words do not matter but it is the intention behind those words that matter .
