In a change from its usual strategy, Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) has announced the creation of a women’s wing named “Jamaat-ul-Mominaat.” The development was made public through a letter issued in the name of JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar, a UN-designated global terrorist. Recruitment for the wing began on October 8, 2025, at Markaz Usman-o-Ali in Bahawalpur, Punjab.

According to Indian intelligence sources and materials published by JeM’s propaganda outlet Al-Qalam Media, the new unit will be headed by Sadiya Azhar, the sister of Masood Azhar. Sadiya is also the widow of Yusuf Azhar, who was killed during Operation Sindoor—an Indian military operation carried out on May 7 against JeM’s headquarters at Markaz Subhanallah inside Pakistani territory.
