NEW DELHI: After Jaish-e-Muhammed and Hizbul Mujahideen , UN-designated terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba has shifted a large chunk of its operational and training infrastructure deeper into Pakistan 's Khyber Pakht-unkhwa, moving away from PoK and Punjab, in hopes of avoiding Indian strikes.
Satelite imagery, besides photos and videos, confirms that LeT is constructing a new facility, Markaz Jihad-e-Aqsa , in Lower Dir district, just 47km from the Afghan border. Construction began in July 2025, two months after Operation Sindoor . "It will serve as the replacement hub for LeT's Jaan-e-Fidai Fidayeen unit following the destruction of the Markaz Ahle Hadith facility at Bhimber-Barnala by the Indian Army on May 7," Indian intelligence establishment has noted.
Imagery shows the facility occupies over 4,600 square feet of land adjacent to the LeT's recently built Jamia Ahle Sunnah mosque. "The facility will be headed by Nasr Javed, one of the masterminds of the 2006 Hyderabad blast in India," an intelligence dossier states.
Muhammad Yasin aka Bilal Bhai has been assigned the task of doctrinal instruction in jihad, while operational weapon training responsibilities have been assigned to Anasullah Khan, it noted. Sources said LeT was also planning to expand its existing camps at Markaz-e-Khyber, Garhi Habibullah and Batrasi.
The distance between the new under-construction camps of LeT and Hizb and JeM is just around 4 km.
