Jaish-e-Mohammad rebuilds Bahawalpur base
- Jaish-e-Mohammad is rebuilding its main headquarters in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, using satellite images showing construction after India's Operation Sindoor strikes in April 2025 damaged the site. - Imagery from April 28 to May 3, 2026 reveals new structures, tents, and activity at the 52-acre Markaz Subhanallah complex, previously hit by Indian missiles. - This rebuild highlights persistent terror infrastructure threats along the India-Pakistan border despite a 2021 ceasefire, raising concerns over Pakistan's enforcement of UN bans.
Jaish-e-Mohammad — a UN-designated terror group behind major attacks on India — is openly rebuilding its wrecked headquarters in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. Satellite images caught fresh construction starting weeks after India's Operation Sindoor pummeled the site last year. The repairs signal militant networks aren't standing down, even with a shaky ceasefire holding the Line of Control. Pakistan's inaction lets this happen right under its nose. (indiatoday.in) ### What is Jaish-e-Mohammad? JeM formed in 2000 under Maulana Masood Azhar, a jihadi freed in a 1999 plane hijacking by his old group, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen. It focuses on "liberating" Kashmir from India through suicide bombings and fidayeen assaults. Key hits: the 2001 Parliament attack killing 9, the 2016 Pathankot airbase raid (7 dead), and the 2019 Pulwama bombing (40 Indian troops). Azhar's brother and son run ops from Bahawalpur while he's under "house arrest" — basically a rumor. JeM trains 2,000-3,000 fighters there, blending madrasas with arms caches. UN blacklisted it in 2001, but Pakistan dragged feet on assets freeze till 2019 under U.S. pressure. (globalsecurity.org) ### Where does this base fit in? The Markaz Subhanallah complex spans
