ISRAEL: Four Indian navy warships equipped with modern weaponry are on a goodwill visit to this northern coastal city of Israel to "strengthen service-to- service linkages", as the two countries celebrate 20 years of diplomatic ties this year.
INS Mumbai, Trishul, Gomti and Aditya, from Indian navy's western fleet, anchored at the Haifa coast on Monday as part of their Mediterranean tour.
The four-day visit here of the Indian navy warships, which are equipped with electronic sensors and missile systems, "shows the importance India attaches to the growing Indo-Israeli relations and continued cooperation and engagement between the two countries is expected to grow," officials here said.
"Indian warships have regularly paid visits to ports in the West Asia and East Africa reaffirming their peaceful presence and solidarity with countries in the region," they said.
The Indian navy has also been at the forefront in providing humanitarian assistance to victims of natural disaster in all parts of the world.
The Mediterranean tour of the four warships is being headed by Rear Admiral A R Karve, who will be calling upon several senior Israeli naval officers and the Mayor of Haifa, Yona Yahav.
The Indian sailors will also be paying their respects at the memorial of Indian soldiers buried in Haifa while fighting for the Allied forces in what has come to be known as the war for the liberation of Haifa.
In a rare tribute to the Indian soldiers who fought for the liberation of the city, the municipality of Haifa has decided to include the stories of their valiant efforts by incorporating them in the school curricula as part of the history textbooks.

Very cool. I'm a big fan of the Indian-Israeli relationship and hope it only gets stronger. I know that other parts of the Israeli police/military train Indian forces in counter-terror tactics and I hope that India gives Israel some good naval methods.
India, china,.... Iran has reason to be scared
It's gonna be really hard to invade Iran without bypassing Pakistan ;-/ But i take that as reason they developing nuclear deterrence.
Didn't China do this same thing last week? Indians trying to one-up the PRC? They did send a bigger ship....
Was thinking the same thing...signals being sent? and being received?
It's not a contest who get into Israel, we all know who's winner and whose aircraft carriers are bigger...
Scare??? But why? Its impossible to scare Iran...because as a nation they are Persian...united Persian.
Nuclear deterrence in some ways is good for world peace.
yes the world is at peace with your nuclear deterrent!
the world did miss a heartbeat when kamra airbase was attacked!
Just for your awareness, no nukes were reported stolen. But if you know where Pakistani storage them we'd love to hear.
Good news!
Cannot tell if serious or not?
Do you believe a theocratic government will sustain a policy of MAD with an enemy state when the basis of conflict is both ideological and theocratic?
My pe*** is bigger than yours. Does that make me the winner every time we square off?
