Jaish-e-Mohammed launches women's wing, appoints Sadiya Azhar as leader.
The terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) has announced the formation of a women’s wing named Jamaat-ul-Mominaat, led by Masood Azhar’s sister, Sadiya Azhar, to bolster its operations in Kashmir. This new unit will include a dedicated fidayeen squad, with women undergoing training for suicide missions, reportedly targeting economically vulnerable individuals and wives of JeM commanders. The development raises significant security concerns, as the involvement of women in terror activities complicates detection efforts for Indian security forces. Following heavy losses in Operation Sindoor, JeM’s shift of training infrastructure to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa reflects its adaptability and intent to continue its insurgency against India, necessitating heightened vigilance from Indian intelligence and defense agencies.
