Security sources said on Wednesday that Operation Ghazab Lil Haq had resumed after a temporary pause out of respect for Eidul Fitr celebrations and demands of Islamic countries. “This break ended at midnight between March 23 and 24,” they added.
Operation Ghazab Lil Haq was launched last month following renewed clashes along the Pakistan-Afghan border after Afghan Taliban forces fired on several locations, prompting rapid military retaliation from Pakistan.
Security sources said the operations were a continuous, precise and targeted military campaign directed against terrorist leaders, their support and command infrastructure, logistical networks and all enablers and accomplices in areas controlled by the Afghan Taliban regime.
The operation will continue until its objectives are fully achieved. “The Afghan Taliban regime must re-evaluate its priorities from supporting proxy terrorist groups to the well-being of the Afghan people and Pakistan,” the sources added.
