India’s Operation Sindoor has severely impacted Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), leading to the destruction of its headquarters and loss of key members. While Lashkar-e-Taiba is showing signs of revival, JeM is struggling to regain strength. Intelligence reports reveal JeM’s extensive digital propaganda efforts to radicalize youth in India and Pakistan and maintain relevance among its supporters.
The JeM, known for its brutal operations in India, is facing operational challenges post Operation Sindoor. Security measures in Jammu and Kashmir have hindered its activities. In response, the group, with ISI support, is intensifying its propaganda to bolster recruitment and tarnish India’s image through doctored videos.
Experts note that JeM is in a critical phase, with its leadership maintaining silence post Operation Sindoor. Questions loom over the whereabouts of chief Masood Azhar, as the group struggles to explain its recent setbacks. Despite rebuilding its headquarters, JeM’s activities remain subdued, possibly to evade Indian surveillance.
The Bahawalpur facility, once housing hundreds of active members, has seen a decline in numbers, with top leaders relocating for safety. Azhar’s absence from the facility hints at a cautious approach following recent losses. Reports suggest Azhar’s health may be deteriorating, leading to his prolonged absence and lack of communication.
