Hundreds of people have died and thousands became homeless during a violent clash between Israel and Palestinian extremist faction Hamas. Israel realized the ceasefire situation and worked on a strategy to cause maximum harm to Hamas and its camp. During this time, experts in the online world are constantly discussing that India should also adopt the Israeli and Mossad model to control extremists.

It is also being discussed that if India had taken steps at the appropriate time with the help of Israel, then Pakistan could have been prevented from developing nuclear weapons.

But the question is, did Israel offer any such help? Was Gujarat's land to be used for this campaign? Did India lose the chance to stop Pakistan's nuclear program many times? And was Israel interested in destroying Pakistan's nuclear plant? People have been expressing contradictory opinions on these questions, but currently these questions are being discussed once again.

On June 7, 1981, the Israeli Air Force entered the borders of three hostile countries into Iraq and destroyed the under-construction nuclear plant at Osirak. Eight F-16 aircraft of Israel and two F-15 aircraft flew from the airport in Egypt's Sinai Desert for this attack. At that time, Israel was in possession of this airport.

These aircraft flew at an altitude of just 120 meters in the air borders of Saudi Arabia and Jordan. In addition to these aircraft, fuel tanks were also kept which had to be thrown in the desert area of ​​Saudi Arabia.

After entering the Iraqi border, Israeli aircraft started flying at an altitude of 30 meters so that they could not be caught by radar. At five-thirty in the evening, these planes flew from different directions from a distance of 20 kilometers and went to a height of 2,130 meters.

After this, he accelerated towards the dome of Osirak's nuclear plant at a speed of 1100 kilometers per hour. One after the other 16 bombs were dropped on the plant, in which only two did not explode, the remaining bomb did its work.

The plant, designed in French design, was destroyed in these blasts. Iraq's anti-aircraft guns started thundering, but by then Israeli aircraft had returned to reach an altitude of 12,000 feet.

No Iraqi aircraft could pursue Israeli aircraft. When the Israeli aircraft returned to their country, there was 450 liters of fuel left in their tanks, so that the aircraft could cover a distance of 270 kilometers. There was official confirmation of the death of 11 soldiers and a French citizen in this attack.

The United Nations Security Council condemned the Israeli attack. On the other hand, Israel criticized France and Italy for helping build the nuclear plant in Iraq. But no action was taken against Israel. But security experts around the world were surprised by this attack.

When the plan made for Pakistan

Emergency was imposed in India in 1975, followed by the Congress Party's defeat in the 1977 general election and a non-Congress government was formed for the first time in the country. This government was completely under the leadership of Gandhian Gujarati leader Morarji Desai. Desai believed that after the 1971 war with Pakistan, India's intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) was monitoring the leaders of the country.

So when the Janata Party government was formed, Morarji Desai cut the budget of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) by 30 percent. Apart from this, a secret operation was also carried out to prevent Pakistan from becoming a nuclear-rich nation.

In 2018, Pakistan Group Captain SM Hali wrote an article in Pakistan Defense General magazine. In this article, he said, "In 1977, a RAW agent got the blueprint of Pakistan's Kahuta nuclear plant, and asked for ten thousand dollars to give it to India."

"When Indian Prime Minister Morarji Desai came to know of this, he called Pakistan's military ruler General Zia-ul-Haq and said that we know that you are making atomic bombs in Kahuta."

"As a result, the investigation began and RAW's agent was caught and India could not find that secret blueprint." But RAW had suspected that Pakistan had started work on building a nuclear plant, so RAW activated its agents present in Pakistan.

In his secret mission, Raw found that this nuclear operation is being conducted in Kahuta, near Islamabad. To confirm this, RAW agents obtained hair samples from the salon in Kahuta, where the nuclear scientists of the Kahuta plant used to get their haircuts.

'How is freedom ridiculed by Islam and our Prophet?'

Israeli PM Netanyahu's statement on Hamas raises apprehension. His hair sample was sent to India, where scientific tests showed that those hairs had radioactive properties, which made it clear that where these scientists are working, a nuclear plant-related operation was being carried out.

Did Israel offer help?

According to a retired Air Force officer from India, "The main gate for aircraft entering the Indian air range from Gulf countries is Jamnagar in Gujarat. That is why aircraft purchased from abroad are brought to India by this route."

"The Rafale aircraft was also supposed to come to Jamnagar but later it was brought to Ambala to demonstrate the capability of the aircraft and its pilots, but it cannot be said for sure."

In 'Deception: Pakistan, the United States and the Global Nuclear Conspiracy', journalists Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott Clarke have claimed that India planned to attack Pakistan's Kahuta nuclear plant with the help of Jaguar aircraft.

In February 1983, India's top military officials secretly visited Israel. During this tour, Indian military officials tried to find out about such an electronic device that could find out about the security system of the Kahuta plant.

Israel gave India technical information about Pakistan's F-16 fighter jets. In return, India provided technical information about the MiG-23 aircraft to Israel. Israel needed information about this Soviet aircraft because the neighboring Arab countries had the same aircraft.

Senior security analyst Bharat Karnad wrote about it in his blog, "I met Israel's famous and retired military intelligence chief Aaron Yariv in Beirut in 1983. He told me about it at breakfast."

According to the plan, six F-16 fighter aircraft and six F-15 aircraft would fly from Haifa, Israel and land in Jamnagar via the South Arabian Sea. Its pilots and members rested there and made necessary changes.

He writes, "During this time the Israeli Air Force cargo plane C-17 landed at Udhampur Airport in Jammu and Kashmir with explosives and other equipment. The F-16 aircraft was to fly from Jamnagar to reach Udhampur by refueling in the air. . "

"From here, these aircraft could enter the Pakistan border and escape from the radar as they passed through the mountainous area. When these aircraft came out of the mountain area, two F-16 aircraft would drop bombs on the Kahuta nuclear plant."

"During this time the F-15 aircraft would fly in the air and respond to any action of the Pakistani Air Force. After this attack, the F-16 aircraft would move out of Pakistan's airplane, heading west. They were flying at low altitudes. They would go south and fly into the mountains, they would land on their hideout. According to Israeli military strategists, Pakistani planes could not be pursued by Israeli planes in the mountains. "

Bharat Karnad, citing his conversation with the Israeli military intelligence chief, also wrote, "Israelis believe that India denied their involvement in the attack. That is why Israel agreed to this That its military insignia would be present on its planes. Israel wanted India to support it in this attack. " Dr. Rajesh Rajagopalan is a professor in the School of International Studies of Jawaharlal Nehru University.

He told the BBC, "There has been a lot of talk about the landing of Israeli planes in the Jamnagar airbase of Gujarat and the attack on Pakistan's Kahuta nuclear plant. Later the US and Hungary's Declassified documents showed that the US and the plan were The Soviets were worried. However, it is unclear whether they had any concrete information or they were merely speculating. Therefore, this issue cannot be said with any clarity. "

The Jerusalem Post, a newspaper published in Tel Aviv, claimed in February 1987 that Israeli military officials had talked to India three times about a joint attack on the Kahuta nuclear plant.
