India’s precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7 killed more than 100 terrorists. Five top commanders of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed were among those killed in Operation Sindoor, government sources said on May 10.
The terrorists killed in Indian drone and missile strikes, which came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack, include:
1. Mudassar Khadian Khas alias Mudassar alias Abu Jundal: Affiliated to Lashkar-e-Taiba, he was the in-charge of Markaz Taiba, Muridke and was among those whose funeral was attended by Pakistani Army officials. His funeral prayer was held in a government school, led by Hafiz Abdul Rauf of JuD (a designated global terrorist). A serving Lt. General of the Pak Army and the IG of Punjab Police attended the prayer ceremony.
2. Hafiz Muhammed Jameel: Affiliated to Jaish-e-Mohammed and the eldest brother-in-law of JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar. Jameel was the in-charge of Markaz Subhan Allah, Bahawalpur and actively involved in radical indoctrination of youth and fundraising for JeM.
3. Mohammad Yusuf Azhar alias Ustad Ji alias Mohd Salim alias Ghosi Sahab: Affiliated to Jaish-e-Mohammed and the brother-in-law of Maulana Masood Azhar. He handled weapons training for JeM and was involved in multiple terrorist attacks in Jammu & Kashmir. He was also wanted by the Indian security agencies in the IC-814 hijacking case.
