NIA Investigates Possible Links Between Hamas and Pakistan-Based Terror Groups in Pahalgam Attack

This marks the first formal mention of Hamas in an Indian terror case. The investigation aims to determine the nature and extent of any operational connections among these groups, as part of a broader effort to map international terror networks influencing activities in Jammu and Kashmir.
