Operation Sindoor: Shocking confession of Jaish-e-Mohammed commander
A senior Jaish commander, Masood Ilyas Kashmiri, has admitted that the family members of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar were killed in the Indian military operation ‘Operation Sindoor’ in Bahawalpur, Pakistan in May 2025. Kashmiri revealed this shocking information in a video posted on YouTube on Tuesday (September 16, 2025). In this video, he is seen making an angry and abusive statement against the Indian attacks. The operation has caused major damage to the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur, and the infrastructure of this organization, which plans terrorist activities, has been extensively damaged.
Operation Sindoor: Background and Reason for the Attack
Operation Sindoor was a coordinated military operation conducted by the Indian Army on 7 May 2025, which was carried out to carry out targeted attacks on terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The operation was carried out in retaliation for the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April 2025. The attack in Pahalgam had killed 26 civilians, most of whom were tourists. The attack is believed to have been carried out by a group of Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has once again escalated tensions between India and Pakistan.
The Indian Army carried out strikes on nine terrorist camps under Operation Sindoor, including locations in Bahawalpur, Kotli and Muridke. Bahawalpur is a major hub for Jaish-e-Mohammed, where its operational headquarters is Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah, also known as Usman-o-Ali Campus. The Indian Air Force, Navy and Army worked together in this operation and destroyed the terrorist camps through precision missile strikes. The Indian Ministry of Defence clarified that the operation was only targeted at the terrorist infrastructure and there was no intention to harm Pakistani civilians.
Masood Ilyas Kashmiri's video and confession
In a video posted on YouTube, Masood Ilyas Kashmiri says, "We fought in Delhi, Kabul and Kandahar to protect the ideological and geographical borders of this country. After sacrificing everything, on May 7, the Indian army attacked Bahawalpur and dismembered the family of Maulana Masood Azhar." In the video, Kashmiri is seen speaking under the protection of armed guards, which gives more seriousness to his statements. The video is believed to have been recorded on September 6 at the 'Mission Mustafa Conference' in Punjab province.
Earlier in May 2025, Masood Azhar himself had said in a statement that 10 members of his family and four close associates were killed in the attack in Bahawalpur. These included his elder sister, her husband, a nephew, his wife, a niece and five children. Azhar said he did not express any regrets about this, on the contrary, he said that he would have liked to die with his family.
Masood Azhar and Jaish-e-Mohammed: A History of Terrorism
Masood Azhar is the founder and chief of the terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed, which was founded in 2000. Arrested in India in 1994, Azhar was released in 1999 after the hijacking of Indian Airlines flight IC-814. He then founded Jaish-e-Mohammed, which has been involved in several terrorist attacks against India. These include the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001, the Mumbai attacks in 2008, the Pathankot air base attack in 2016 and the Pulwama attack in 2019. The United Nations designated Azhar as a global terrorist in 2019.
Azhar and his organization are alleged to be supported by Pakistan's intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and other extremist groups. Jaish-e-Mohammed has carried out terrorist activities not only in India but also in Afghanistan and other regions. The Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur is its main training and planning center, where more than 600 terrorists receive training.
Pakistan's role and international reaction
Pakistan has claimed to be unaware of Masood Azhar's presence. Former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had expressed his ignorance of Azhar's whereabouts and expressed his readiness to arrest him if India provided evidence. However, Indian intelligence agencies have identified Azhar's whereabouts as Skardu in Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, more than 1,000 kilometers from his base in Bahawalpur.
Operation Sindoor has heightened tensions between India and Pakistan. Pakistan has called the attacks an "act of aggression", while India has said they were carried out in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack and in self-defence. The international community has called on both countries to exercise restraint, especially since both are nuclear-armed.
