Pakistan has initiated 'Operation Ghazab-Lil-Haq' against the Afghan Taliban following an increase in cross-border assaults in regions such as Chitral, Khyber, Mohmand, Kurram, and Bajaur. The operation comes in response to Taliban gunfire that has threatened Pakistani territory. Attacking the Taliban strongholds, Pakistan claims to have successfully killed 133 fighters and taken control of multiple Afghan checkpoints, signaling a significant military response to escalating tensions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

The meaning behind the operation's name, 'Ghazab-Lil-Haq', translates to 'Wrath for Justice or Goodness', where 'Ghazab' represents anger, 'Lil' means 'for', and 'Haq' pertains to justice or a divine form of punishment. This nomenclature reflects the Pakistani government's justification for its military actions, positioning them as necessary for national security and justice against perceived Taliban aggression.

With these military operations, Pakistan aims to assert its dominance over areas that have been historically volatile due to the presence of militant groups. The operation's implications could lead to further destabilization in the region, as it may provoke retaliation from the Taliban and further complicate Pakistan's relations with Afghanistan, particularly amid ongoing tensions between the two nations.
