The Adani-Elbit defence manufacturing facility in Hyderabad is being targeted by Islamists who falsely claim it is exporting weapons to Israel for use against Iran and Palestine. This joint venture, established in 2016, primarily manufactures Hermes 900 drones for the Indian armed forces.

Misinformation on social media suggests that the facility supports Israeli military actions, leading to a distorted narrative of betrayal to Iran. There is no evidence that India is supplying these drones for combat roles; rather, they are intended for surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

Indian defense exports to Israel are limited, with Israel being India's largest arms supplier. The campaign against the Adani-Elbit facility reflects a broader agenda that poses risks to India's national security and seeks to incite communal tension.
