Security Forces Uncover Terrorist Hideout in Kishtwar, J&K

The Indian security forces are currently engaged in an extensive anti-terror operation in the Dool area of Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, targeting a Hamas-style terror hideout. This operation began following intelligence inputs about the presence of two wanted Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, Riyaz Ahmad and Mudassar Hazari, who have been active in the region for over eight years and have a reward of 10 lakh each on their heads. The forces discovered a natural cave modified for evasion tactics similar to those employed by Hamas, indicating an advanced level of planning by the terrorists. The operation has seen gunfire exchanges, with the security personnel employing additional reinforcements, including para commandos and drones, to ensure the terrorists cannot escape. Tragically, this operation follows the sacrifice of two soldiers in a prior engagement, underscoring the ongoing risks faced by Indian forces in these challenging terrains. The Indian Army’s commitment to neutralizing terrorist threats in this region is evident as they adapt their strategies to confront these evolving tactics, ensuring the safety and security of both local communities and national integrity. The continuous efforts reflect India’s strong resolve in combating terrorism and maintaining stability in Jammu and Kashmir, demonstrating that despite the challenges, the Indian security forces are persistent and dedicated in their mission to restore peace in the region.
