Stones, Abuses, Then Dog Drew First Blood: How Jaish Terrorist Saifullah Was Killed In J&K

Saifullah, a high-ranking commander of the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed, was killed in Jammu and Kashmir after a prolonged manhunt. Authorities had been tracking him for several months using advanced drone surveillance technology. The operation unfolded dramatically, beginning with clashes that involved local stone-pelters, which were met by security forces. Amidst the chaos, a police dog played a crucial role in locating and neutralizing Saifullah, who had been a significant threat to regional security. His elimination is seen as a major victory for Indian security forces in their ongoing battle against terrorism in the region, particularly against groups sponsored by Pakistan. Saifullah was implicated in numerous attacks against Indian security personnel and civilians, making his death a significant blow to Jaish-e-Mohammed. The incident underscores the challenges faced by security forces in Kashmir, where militants often blend into the local population, complicating counter-terrorism efforts. This operation highlights the need for continued vigilance and the importance of modern surveillance techniques in combating terrorism effectively.
