by | Mar 3, 2026

Islamabad — Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, Pakistan’s decisive military response to border aggression, continues to yield significant results as of March 3, 2026, with officials reaffirming the nation’s commitment to persist until security threats from Afghan soil are fully neutralized.

Launched on February 27 following unprovoked attacks at 53 locations across 15 border sectors by the Afghan Taliban and terrorist proxies like TTP (Fitna al-Khawarij), the operation has inflicted heavy losses on opposing forces, including 435 combatants killed and 188 tanks destroyed.

Information Minister Attaullah Tarar and DG ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry emphasized that this proactive stance honors the sacrifices of martyrs like Lt Col Shahzada Gul Faraz, framing it as a national duty against outcasts. With 73 Afghan posts demolished and 31 captured through precision air strikes on 51 sites, including key headquarters in Kabul and Kandahar, Pakistan stands united — no hurry to conclude until verifiable assurances end terror facilitation.

Striking Achievements in Operation Ghazab lil-Haq

The toll on the adversary has been stark — families back home can take solace in the footage of Pakistani troops hoisting the national flag over a captured Markaz Post in North Waziristan. It’s moments like these that capture the resolve: soldiers braving the line, turning defense into decisive action. Chaudhry’s briefing highlighted how these gains dismantle the infrastructure fueling cross-border terror, with heavy weaponry like tanks no longer a threat to border towns.

Meanwhile, Tarar’s updates paint a picture of measured fury — not against the Afghan people, but the regime’s proxy role. Observers noted the operation’s name, “Wrath of the Truth,” echoes a righteous stand, aligning with Pakistan’s narrative of combating outcasts.

Firm Stance and Path Forward

Pakistan’s ultimatum rings clear: “Choose or lose,” as DG ISPR  put it — the Taliban must sever ties with terrorists or face ongoing repercussions. A senior security official echoed this, saying there’s no rush; verifiable guarantees are non-negotiable. In press conferences, leaders like Ishaq Dar reinforced unity, a subtle reminder that the nation stands shoulder-to-shoulder with its forces.

This isn’t just military might — it’s about safeguarding sovereignty, honoring martyrs who fell in Bannu and Islamabad. As tensions simmer, the retreat from Torkham signals early cracks in the opposition.

Operation Ghazab lil-Haq embodies Pakistan’s enduring spirit — a calm, calculated push toward peace through strength, ensuring a safer future for generations. With the armed forces’ professionalism shining through, the resolve remains steadfast, fostering national pride amid challenges.
