PM Modi and Isreal PM Netanyahu were at the icreate centre in Deo Dholera Village in Ahmedabad, which is holding an exhibition of start-ups.

This is what Wikipedia has on the Battle of Haifa in 1918. "The 5th Cavalry Division were formed with three brigades, two of them composed of one British yeomanry regiment, and two British Indian Army cavalry regiments; one of which was usually lancers. Part of the Desert Mounted Corps, it was supported by machine guns, artillery, and light armoured car units. The division's third brigade was the 15th (Imperial Service) Cavalry Brigade, normally comprising three cavalry regiments from the Indian Princely States of Jodhpur, Mysore and Hyderabad. However, the Hyderabad Lancers had been detached to escort prisoners and had been replaced by the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry from the divisions 14th Cavalry Brigade."


Netanyahu missed out on the sacrifice of soldiers from Rajasthan, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
