Pakistan terrorist Mohd Asif "Hashim Moosa", commander of Lashkar‑e‑Taiba, was killed by the Indian Army in Yousmarg, Jammu and Kashmir, earlier this week.
The 45‑day operation, dubbed "Operation Sheruwali", began in Rajouri after a shootout that left Moosa with multiple gunshot wounds. He had retreated into dense forest, using Ayurvedic honey to accelerate healing.
A recovered phone from his associate Yasir revealed photos of honey‑treated wounds and corroborated reports that Pakistani handlers insisted on pure honey to aid his recovery. The tactic, rooted in ancient "Sushruta Samhita", demonstrates the blend of traditional medicine and modern warfare.
Moosa's death ends a five‑year hunt that saw him orchestrate more than a dozen terror attacks, including the 2025 Pahalgam massacre that claimed 26 lives. The Army will review the operation's success and plan future counter‑terrorism missions.
