Masood Azhar, leader of the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), is reportedly in hiding following Operation Sindoor, which significantly weakened the group. With Azhar’s absence and the death of his key lieutenant Rauf Azghar, JeM cadres are demoralized and disillusioned, leading to potential defections. Meanwhile, the organization has resorted to producing artificial intelligence-generated propaganda to maintain morale among its members. The Indian intelligence agencies closely monitor the situation, aware that any attempts by JeM to launch attacks would be met with a robust response from the Indian Armed Forces. This dynamic highlights the fragility of terrorist groups in the face of effective counter-terrorism operations and underscores India’s strengthened defense posture against cross-border terrorism.
