In the wake of the recent Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, a former US Pentagon official has drawn parallels to the October 7 Hamas attacks in Israel, emphasizing the deliberate targeting of a particular religious group. The official has called upon India to consider retaliatory measures against Pakistan and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), drawing comparisons to Israel’s actions in response to Hamas. The incident has raised concerns about escalating tensions between the two neighboring countries and the potential for further violence. The call for retaliation comes amid heightened security measures in the region and ongoing efforts to address cross-border terrorism. The Pahalgam attack has underscored the need for a robust response to such threats and a focus on preventing future incidents. Indian authorities have vowed to investigate the attack thoroughly and take necessary actions to ensure the safety and security of its citizens. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and urging restraint to prevent further escalation. As the situation unfolds, all eyes are on India’s response and the measures it will take to address the growing security challenges in the region.
