Israel backs India’s fight on terror: 

·  Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), also known as Army of the Pure or Army of the Righteous, is an Islamic militant organization based in Pakistan.

· It was founded in 1990 by Hafiz Mohammed Saeed as the military wing of Pakistani Islamist organization Markaz-ad-Dawa-wal-Irshad (MDI), which promotes the Ahl-e-Hadith (AeH) interpretation of Islam, until it ostensibly split from the group in 2002.

·  LeT was first active in the fight against the Soviet presence in Afghanistan but changed its focus to the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir when the state rebelled against Indian control in the early 1990s.

·  LeT has reportedly been supported by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) since the early 1990s as one of many paramilitary groups used by Pakistan as proxy forces to create instability in India.

·   LeT sees the fight against Indian control over Jammu and Kashmir as part of a global struggle against the oppression of Muslims, and ultimately seeks to establish an Islamic caliphate in the Indian subcontinent.

· Hamas is a Palestinian Islamist political organization and militant group that has waged war on Israel since the group’s 1987 founding’s.

·  Most notably through suicide bombings and rocket attacks. It seeks to replace Israel with a Palestinian state. It also governs Gaza independently of the Palestinian Authority.

· Hamas charter calls for destruction of Israel.

· Using suicide bombings against Israel in the 1990s and 2000s, though in recent years it has shifted to rockets and mortars as its weapons of choice.

·  The organization also offers Palestinians a robust network of social services, which it developed as an alternative to deeply corrupt PA institutions.
