Operation Sindoor Fallout: Pakistan's Terror Twins Regroup Under ISI Protection

  • India's Operation Sindoor in May 2025 severely damaged Lashkar-e-Taiba (Muridke) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (Bahawalpur) headquarters, killing key operatives.
  • Indian intelligence reports indicate Lashkar and Jaish, once rivals, are now consolidating under ISI guidance to revive jihad against India.
  • Senior Lashkar leaders, including Talha Saeed, met near Jaish's destroyed Bahawalpur complex, signaling an end to turf wars and a push for unity.
  • Hafiz Abdul Rauf admitted Operation Sindoor flattened Muridke base and confessed Pakistan's state enables jihad, facilitating recruitment and training.
  • New camps are resurfacing, infiltration attempts across the Line of Control have spiked, and Hamas-linked trainers are reportedly in Pakistan-occupied regions, adapting October 7 tactics.

Why It Matters: Despite Operation Sindoor's success, Pakistan's terror groups are regrouping with ISI backing, posing a unified and heightened threat.
