Expect India to play role in bringing stability in West Asia, says Israeli Envoy Naor Gilon

Israel is "strong and resilient" and, if needed, it will "confront Iran" after the recent attack, the Israeli Envoy in New Delhi asserted on April 15 and said India should play a role in bringing stability in the West Asia region.

In an interview to PTI at the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi, the country's Ambassador to India Naor Gilon said that Israeli defence forces with the support of the U.S. and "other friends in the region" were able to "intercept 99%" of the UAVs and missiles fired by Iranians.

However, there was "minor damage" suffered at Nevatim air base in the attack late Saturday, he said.
