ISLAMABAD – A day after a deadly terrorist attack claimed the lives of three Pakistan Rangers personnel in Karachi, Pakistani forces launched Operation Ghazb Lil Haq, a coordinated counterterrorism offensive targeting militant hideouts along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Dramatic footage of the precision strikes also surfaced, saying the operation eliminated 29 militants and destroyed multiple terrorist camps and weapons stockpiles. Observers say this could mark a turning point in how the issue is addressed.

Background

A look at the history of this issue reveals why today's developments carry such weight.

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said military action was launched in response to a series of recent terrorist attacks across the country.

The security forces first carried out an intelligence-based ground operation near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Bajaur district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa before launching precision strikes against identified militant positions across the border.

Adding to the complexity of the situation, under Operation Ghazb Lil Haq, security forces precisely struck terrorist camps and safe havens of Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and Fitna al-Khwarij in Paktia, Paktika and Kunar, eliminating terrorists and destroying weapons and ammunition stockpiles on night 28/29June.

Analysis

Those following the situation closely say this marks a meaningful shift.

What has become increasingly clear is that tarar noted intelligence gathered during the operation led to precision strikes conducted overnight between June 28 and 29 against alleged terrorist camps and safe havens linked to Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and Fitna al-Khwarij in Afghanistan s Paktia, Paktika and Kunar provinces.

Alongside the primary story, combined with those killed during the intelligence-based ground operation, the total number of militants eliminated reached 29.

National Impact

The implications are multifaceted, touching on issues of policy, people, and public interest.

Authorities also claimed that large stockpiles of weapons and ammunition stored at the targeted locations were destroyed, dealing a meaningful blow to the groups operational capabilities.

Alongside the primary story, the operation came a day after militants attacked a Pakistan Rangers Sindh camp in Karachi s Gulistan-e-Johar area.

Of particular significance is the fact that during the ensuing gun battle, security forces killed three attackers and arrested another in an injured condition.

Notably, releasing the operational footage, Tarar reported the videos captured the precision strikes on the identified terrorist camps and hideouts, describing the action as part of Pakistan s continued efforts to dismantle militant networks responsible for attacks inside the country.
