Reports from anti-Israel activist groups claim that a growing flow of military-related supplies and defense-industrial raw materials is leaving Indian ports for Israel, despite international pressure and boycott campaigns.
According to the reports, the shipments include military-grade steel, explosives, ammunition, rocket components, drones and UAV parts. Activists claim that one shipment included roughly 806 tons of steel that could be used in the production of 155mm artillery shells.
Other reports point to Indian ports such as Chennai as departure points for explosives and defense-related cargo.
The bigger story is the deepening Israel-India defense relationship. India has long been one of the largest buyers of Israeli military technology, but the current war has created a partial reversal: India is now helping Israel with critical materials, components and supply-chain support at a time when parts of the West are restricting or delaying military exports to Israel.
