LeT Commander's Video Confirms Destruction of Terror Camps by India

In a significant development challenging Pakistan's official narrative, a viral video featuring Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Qaasim has surfaced, confirming the destruction of the Markaz Taiba terror camp in Muridke, Punjab, Pakistan. This comes months after India's precision strikes targeted nine terror strongholds across Pakistan and PoJK.

Standing amidst the camp's debris, Qaasim acknowledged that the facility had trained militants, proudly stating that several 'Mujahideens and Talaba,' achieved 'victory' or 'Faiz' through its programs. He declared plans to reconstruct a larger facility, despite the setback. His admission substantiates earlier claims by Jaish-e-Mohammed's (JeM) Masood Ilyas Kashmiri, who in another viral video, confirmed the strikes' impact on JeM's headquarters in Bahawalpur.

Notably, the Indian strikes on May 7 under Operation Sindoor destroyed key locations including the Markaz Subhan Allah, reputed as JeM's operational hub involved in planning attacks like Pulwama. Reports also indicate casualties of prominent figures like Mohammad Yusuf Azhar and Hafiz Muhammed Jameel, closely linked to JeM's leadership, underscoring the operations' significance.
