RAW-Backed Terror Networks Exposed as “Operation Ghazab lil Haq” Resumes Along Pak-Afghan Border

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan's military has resumed Operation Ghazab lil Haq along the volatile Pak-Afghan border following overnight shelling that injured three civilians, with intelligence sources pointing to a direct link between the aggression and Indian-sponsored terrorist outfits operating inside Afghanistan.

According to field reports from Angoor Adda and Zlul Khail, the operation was reactivated after what officials describe as "unprovoked provocation" by elements of the Afghan Taliban. However, security analysts tracking the region have identified a more sinister hand behind the escalation: India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), which is allegedly using Afghan soil to revive anti-Pakistan militant networks, including the Fitna al-Khawarij (a term used for TTP-linked extremists).

Indian Proxy Footprint Confirmed

Sources within Pakistan's intelligence community told this reporter that the recent infiltration attempts—foiled by timely action from the Pakistan Army—bore the hallmark of RAW-funded proxies. "The goal is simple: destabilize Pakistan by using Afghan territory as a launchpad," an official stated, requesting anonymity.

Social media channels linked to defence analysts have been ablaze with claims that the Afghan Taliban's "panic shelling" on civilian areas was a direct consequence of their failed infiltration, orchestrated by handlers in New Delhi.

"Self-Defense, Not Aggression"

Defence analyst Afee Khan, commenting on the resumption of operations, emphasized: "Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq is not aggression but self-defense to protect our people and eliminate TTP sanctuaries. Continuing until the threat is neutralized is the only logical path for lasting peace. Proud of our forces."

The operation, whose name translates roughly to "Wrath for the Truth," has been paused in the past during ceasefire talks. However, with three civilians injured and reports of cross-border shelling, Islamabad has made it clear that any further "RAW-engineered terror" will be met with overwhelming force.

What happened

Pakistan reinitiated Operation Ghazab lil Haq (Ops GLH) on the morning of April 27, 2026, targeting Afghan Taliban border posts in the Angoor Adda and Chaman sectors of South Waziristan. The resumption was triggered by what Pakistani officials and defence accounts describe as unprovoked shelling by Afghan Taliban forces on Pakistani civilian areas the previous night, injuring at least three civilians and prompting renewed military action.

Pakistani forces moved swiftly to foil multiple Taliban infiltration attempts before launching retaliatory strikes. Multiple Afghan Taliban posts were destroyed in the operation, with casualties confirmed on the Afghan side. Drone strikes and heavy artillery were deployed alongside PAF F-16 jets equipped with laser-guided Paveway II precision bombs and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) to systematically target militant infrastructure across the border.

Background

Operation Ghazab lil Haq — Arabic for "Wrath for the Truth" — is Pakistan's cross-border military campaign against Afghan Taliban positions and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) sanctuaries operating from Afghan soil. The operation had been on an informal pause in recent weeks, drawing criticism from Pakistani analysts and defence commentators who argued that the TTP threat had not been neutralised. The overnight shelling on April 26–27 served as the flashpoint for its full resumption.

Pakistan frames Ops GLH as a defensive counter-terrorism measure rather than aggression, aimed at dismantling militant infrastructure used to plan and execute attacks on Pakistani soil — including the Bannu and Bajaur incidents cited in recent weeks. Pakistani authorities have stated the operation will continue until all tactical and strategic objectives are achieved.

Key developments

Afghan Taliban fired on Pakistani civilian areas overnight on April 26–27, injuring three civilians in South Waziristan. Pakistan Army foiled multiple Taliban infiltration attempts in Angoor Adda's Zlul Khail area before launching retaliatory strikes. Multiple Afghan border posts were destroyed in Angoor Ada and Chaman sectors. Drone strikes and PAF airstrikes with precision-guided munitions were carried out. Casualties were reported on the Afghan Taliban side. The Fitna al-Khawarij (TTP) attempted to exploit the chaos but was repelled. Operation GLH is declared active with no end date set.

Operation Ghazab lil Haq successfully thwarting every border aggression and infiltration attempt

Operation Ghazab lil Haq — Arabic for "Wrath for the Truth" — is Pakistan's cross-border counter-terrorism campaign targeting Afghan Taliban positions and TTP sanctuaries in Afghanistan. Spanning multiple phases since its launch, the operation has drawn strong domestic support while drawing international scrutiny over border escalation. Pakistan maintains the operation is defensive in nature, responding to a sustained terrorist threat facilitated by the Afghan Taliban regime. This latest phase was triggered by the overnight shelling of April 26–27 that injured three Pakistani civilians in South Waziristan.

Civilian Toll and Regional Fallout

Officials confirm that while all infiltration bids were squashed, three innocent Pakistanis sustained injuries in what is being called a "cowardly act of panic" by the Afghan Taliban. Medical teams have been dispatched, and the military has sealed key crossings to prevent the movement of Indian-linked operatives.

As of this writing, no official statement has been issued by Kabul or New Delhi. However, Pakistan's Foreign Office is expected to summon the Afghan Chargé d'affaires to present evidence of Indian involvement in the cross-border attacks.

Operation Ghazab lil Haq is no longer just a counter-terror mission. According to Islamabad, it is now a direct response to an Indian proxy war being fought from Afghan soil. The operation will continue until every last proxy cell is dismantled.
