After Israel's devastating assault on Gaza's civilian population, an Indian clothing company that had provided the Israeli police with tens of thousands of uniforms annually has decided not to take any further orders from the force.

Israel's police personnel have been receiving clothing from Maryan Apparel Private Limited since 2015, located in the southern state of Kerala's Kannur district. But it made the decision to terminate ties with the client this week.

“Killing the innocent common people is the reason,” Thomas Olickal, the company’s director, told Arab News on Saturday.

The company announced the decision after Al-Ahli Al-Arabi Hospital in central Gaza was bombed, killing hundreds of people, mostly women, children, and the elderly. Among the victims were patients and people sheltering in the courtyard from daily Israeli airstrikes.
