An agreement has been proposed by the Indian government whereby the Israel Defense Forces will train Indian soldiers in counter-terror tactics, urban warfare and fighting in guerrilla settings as part of India's war in Kashmir.

The Israeli daily Moario reported that commander of the Zionist regime’s ground forces general Avi Mizrahi arrived in Srinagar on a three-day visit to the Kashmir and met commanders of the Indian ground, air and naval forces. According to the report, he has traveled to the Indian-held Kashmir at the invitation of commander of the Indian air force.
During the three-day visit of the Israeli commander, the two sides agreed that commandoes of the Israeli Army would train India's anti-terrorism forces for fighting the Kashmiri Muslim combatants.
The Jerusalem Post website has reported that General Avi Mizrahi also signed an agreement for military cooperation with India regarding fighting the Kashmir Muslim combatants.
The Post added that the Indian government did not publish the news of Israeli commander's visit fearing of its negative impact, but press in India and Pakistan have carried reports of the visit.
Islamist and nationalist groups in the Kashmir have expressed anger over the visit of the Israeli commander. Farooq Ahmed Dar, one of the prominent leaders of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front said the visit of the Israeli commander to Kashmir is part of India's plan to suppress the Intefada Movement of the Kashmiri people and to change the demography of this region.
Kashmir is India's only Muslim-majority state and is a major source of contention with neighboring Pakistan.
India is the largest importer of arms from Israel and since 2002 has bought more than $5 billion worth of equipment.
Israel's Counter-Terrorism Bureau has encouraged Israelis to avoid visiting the Kashmir region. An estimated 68,000 people have been killed in the fighting.
