ISI Studying Hamas Tactics to Rebuild Kashmir Terror Networks, India Today Reports

The Story in Brief

Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence is seeking to adapt methods associated with Hamas for terror groups targeting Jammu and Kashmir, India Today reports, citing intelligence inputs. The assessment points to possible coordination between Hamas-linked propaganda, Pakistan-based groups, concealed weapons and online radicalisation.

The inputs identify Rawalakot in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as a meeting point, including a February 5, 2025 conference attended by Hamas-linked figures and representatives associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. Agencies are also examining Turkish-made 9mm Zigana pistols recovered in Jammu and Kashmir, including the Poonch-Rajouri sector. The assessment says the Gaza conflict may be used to recruit young people and revive dormant support networks.

The Indian Opinion

Claims that every Kashmir attack now reflects a Hamas blueprint would be as careless as dismissing the assessment as routine propaganda. India Today’s account is based on intelligence inputs, not a publicly demonstrated operational link. The practical test is whether investigators establish funding, recruitment chains, weapons trails and command links between the named groups, rather than merely finding shared rhetoric or imported pistols.
