A seven-member terror module dubbed as the ‘Israel group’ led by a commander of the proscribed Jaish-e- Mohammad (JeM) terror outfit, Saifullah, has been killed by the joint team of security forces along with two other terrorists in Kishtwar district on Sunday.
Addressing a joint press conference in Kishtwar on Monday, General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Counter-Insurgency Force Delta, Major General APS Bal, along with Inspector General of Police (Jammu Zone) Bhim Sen Tuti, said the killing of three JeM terrorists had dealt a “blow to the terror network” in the region.
The anti-terrorist Operation Trashi-1 also marks the culmination of a relentless, high-altitude joint operation conducted over 326 days in extremely challenging terrain.
The module was under pursuit since April-May last year. Three of its members were eliminated in April 2025, while the remaining members — including Saifullah, Adil and two others — were on the run.
