The Pakistani Army may pretend that Operation Sindoor, in which Indian Military targeted nine Militant training camps deep inside Pakistan, was not so lethal, the cat has come out of the bag.

Hafiz Abdul Rauf, a senior Lashkar-e-Taiba commander, confessed on video that India's Operation Sindoor on May 6-7, 2025, collapsed the group's Muridke headquarters mosque, where they could no longer even sit.

Operation Sindoor was India’s response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists, by LeT proxy, The Resistance Front.

Satellite images confirmed the damage, aligning with Rauf's words despite Pakistan's claims of civilian hits, and his admission bolsters India's narrative of success amid ongoing terror regrouping.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony for future Lashkar commanders in Muridke, he said, “What happened here on 6 and 7 May, this mosque where we cannot even sit today, it was destroyed and collapsed. It was a very big attack. Allah protected us and saved us.”

He also admitted that these graduates were shifted from the Muridke training camp shortly before the strike.

In another video, Jaish-e-Muhammad, led by Maulana Azhar Masood, who lost many members of his family in the Operation Sindoor, has displayed pictures of its members who died in Kashmir.

It may be recalled that Masood’s training centre for jihad was hit hard in Bhawalpur, Punjab, in Operation Sindoor. He claimed 14 of his family members had died in the attack.

Such videos are also circulated by terrorist organisations to generate sympathy and funds for their cause. However.
