ISLAMABAD: Security sources confirmed on Wednesday the resumption of Operation Ghazab Lil Haq following a brief strategic pause observed in respect of Eid-ul-Fitr and diplomatic requests from brotherly Islamic nations. The temporary ceasefire concluded at midnight between March 23 and 24, marking a return to active kinetic operations.
The military campaign was initiated last month as a direct response to renewed hostilities along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border, triggered by unprovoked firing from Afghan Taliban forces. Pakistani troops had launched swift retaliatory strikes at the time, leading to the current sustained operation.
According to security officials, the campaign remains a “precise and targeted” military effort aimed at dismantling terrorist leadership and neutralising command infrastructures within areas controlled by the Afghan Taliban regime. The operation specifically targets logistics networks, facilitators, and abettors of terror proxies operating across the border.
Authorities asserted that the offensive will persist until all strategic objectives are met. Issuing a stern advisory, sources stated that the Afghan Taliban regime must “reassess its priorities,” urging Kabul to shift its focus from harbouring terror elements toward the welfare of the Afghan people and regional stability with Pakistan.
