LeT Commander Acknowledges Indian Strikes, Plans Mosque Expansion

In a recent viral video, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Qaasim acknowledged the destruction of the Markaz Taiba complex in Muridke, Pakistan, by the Indian Air Force, while vowing to rebuild it larger. This site, pivotal to LeT’s operational and ideological framework, has long been linked to major terrorist attacks, including the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Concurrently, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) commander Masood Ilyas Kashmiri confirmed significant losses from Indian strikes on their Bahawalpur headquarters, further emphasizing the operational precision of India’s recent counter-terrorism efforts. These developments underscore a strategic shift in India’s approach to counter-terrorism, targeting high-value assets within Pakistan, and reveal the ongoing resilience and adaptability of these terror groups despite substantial setbacks.
