India has successfully launched an Israeli spy satellite into orbit, officials at the Sriharikota space station in southern India say.
The Israeli press is reporting that the satellite will improve Israel's ability to monitor Iran's military activities.
Tecsar is said to have enhanced footage technology, which allows it to transmit images regardless of daytime and weather conditions.
It is considered to be one of the most advanced spy satellites that India has put into orbit to date.
"This is bound to be seen in the Islamic world as a sinister tie-up between Israel and India,"
