Names of top 5 LeT, JeM commanders killed in Pakistan in Operation Sindoor emerge

These terrorists were killed when Indian forces carried out pre-dawn strikes on terror camps located deep within Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) on May 7, media reports said.

The slain terrorists have been identified as Mudassar Khadian Khas, Hafiz Muhammed Jameel, Mohammad Yusuf Azhar, Khalid alias Abu Akasha, and Mohammad Hassan Khan, the sources said.

Images of senior Pakistani officers in uniform attending the funerals of these terrorists have since gone viral, revealing the long-standing collusion between Pakistan’s military and terror networks.

India has highlighted a particular photo — showing a terrorist’s coffin wrapped in the Pakistani national flag — as irrefutable proof of Pakistan’s complicity in global terrorism.

Terror commanders with state honours and long rap sheets

Mudassar Khadian Khas, also known as Abu Jundal, was a senior LeT figure heading Markaz Taiba in Muridke.

In a revealing show of state complicity, the Pakistan Army accorded him a guard of honour, with wreaths laid on behalf of Army Chief General Asim Munir and Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz.

His funeral, led by globally designated terrorist Hafiz Abdul Rauf, was held at a government school and attended by senior military and police officials.

Jaish’s Hafiz Muhammed Jameel—elder brother-in-law of JeM chief Masood Azhar—was another key figure eliminated.

He oversaw Markaz Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur and played a crucial role in indoctrinating recruits and raising funds.

Also killed was Mohammad Yusuf Azhar, Masood Azhar’s brother-in-law and a veteran handler of Jaish operations.

Known by aliases like Ustad Ji and Mohd Salim, Yusuf was a key figure in JeM’s armed training and was wanted for his role in the 1999 IC-814 hijacking.

LeT commander Khalid, alias Abu Akasha, had a long record of terror activity in Jammu and Kashmir and was actively engaged in arms smuggling from Afghanistan.

His funeral in Faisalabad drew high-ranking army officers and local administrators.

Mohammad Hassan Khan, the son of JeM’s Pakistan operations chief Mufti Asghar Khan Kashmiri, was also among those neutralised in the strikes.

As Pakistan accorded state honours to the terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor, India successfully highlightedIslamabad's continued sheltering of proscribed terrorists within its territories.
