Hizbul to Target Israeli Intelligence Agents in Kashmir

By Fayaz Wani

Srinagar, May 14: The chief commander of the pro-Pakistan militant group, Hizbul Mujahideen has claimed that the group will target the Mossad agents coming into Kashmir under the false pretense of being tourists.

In an interview with a Srinagar based news gathering agency, the chief commander of Hizbul, Syed Salah-ud-Din said that the group welcomes tourists to Kashmir.

He, however, was quick to add that the militant group would not shy away from attacking the Israeli and Indian intelligence agents.

"We will target such agents and will not allow them roam freely in Kashmir", he said.

The Hizbul's chief commander claims that Israeli soldiers have been helping Indian troops in Kashmir in their fight against the militants.

It is pertinent to mention here that in the early 1990s there was an incident where the militants of Hizbul Mujahideen targeted Israeli tourists.
