In a major success for security forces, three terrorists linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba were neutralized during ‘Operation Mahadev’ after the recent Pahalgam massacre. The slain militants have been identified as Hashim Musa, Jibran, and Hamza Afghani. Sources say that the operation was launched after the army tracked the terrorists’ location through a satellite phone intercept, allowing security teams to corner them.
The terrorists were involved in planning and executing the brutal attack in Pahalgam, which left several civilians dead and triggered massive outrage. According to officials, the group had been operating in the region for months, coordinating with handlers across the border.
Their elimination is seen as a significant blow to Lashkar-e-Taiba’s network in the Kashmir Valley.Security forces have stepped up search operations across nearby areas to track any remaining members of the module. Officials praised the successful coordination between intelligence units and the army that led to this swift operation.
