I am resident of India (Indian passport). I am travelling from Israel (Tel Aviv) to Rome (Fiumicino) on El Al Airlines, and from Rome (Fiumicino), I fly to India (Delhi) on Air India Airlines.

The connection time between the two flights is 3 hours.

Do I need to get a transit visa or is it not required?

As stated in Timatic, the database used by Airlines:

Visa required, except for Holders of onward tickets for a max. transit of 48 hours through Milan (MXP), Rome (FCO) or Venice (VCE)

So if the trip is in one booking, you do not Need a visa. Otherwise you do.

As it's stated on the website of Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation:

The citizens of the following countries are required to obtain visas for transit through Italian airports:

Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Senegal, Syria

As India is not on this list, you don't need a transit visa in Italy.
