Intelligence Reports Indicate ISI Adapting Hamas Tactics Amid Regional Defence Pact
Intelligence reports accessed by India Today indicate Pakistan's ISI is studying Hamas tactics to revive terror networks targeting Jammu and Kashmir. This includes training Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed militants in urban assault methods, compact weapons use, and online radicalisation, leveraging the Gaza conflict's impact. A February 2025 conference in Rawalakot reportedly involved Hamas-linked figures and Pakistan-based extremist groups. Concurrently, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey signed a defence pact with collective security provisions, raising strategic concerns for India.
