Israel’s big attack

It is worth noting that Israel has named Operation Rising Lion, who has run the operation against Iran to stop its nuclear programs. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video message that Operation Rising Lion has been started by Israel a short time ago. This is a target -based military action to eliminate the increasing threat from Iran.

Market experts believe that India has already moved to self -sufficiency in the defense sector. In such a situation, among the increasing geopolitical stress, people are also drawing attention to investing in the defense sector. In such a situation, the defense market of India can get a big benefit in the coming days.
