Security sources said on Wednesday that Operation Ghazab Lil Haq resumed following a temporary pause in deference to Eidul Fitr celebrations and requests from Islamic countries. “This pause concluded at midnight between March 23 and 24,” they added.
Operation Ghazab Lil Haq was launched last month following renewed clashes along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border, after Afghan Taliban forces fired on multiple locations, prompting swift military retaliation by Pakistan.
Security sources said that operations were an ongoing, precise and targeted military campaign directed against terrorist leadership, their support and command infrastructures, logistics networks, and all facilitators and abettors under the Afghan Taliban regime-controlled areas.
The operation will continue until its objectives are fully achieved. “The Afghan Taliban regime must reassess its priorities, shifting focus from supporting terror proxies to the welfare of the Afghan people and Pakistan,” the sources added.
