The war between Israel and the Palestinian organization Hamas (Israel Palestine Conflict) is escalating in the Gaza Strip. The Gaza crisis has also increased the possibility of street protests in Jammu and Kashmir. Along with this, the increase in the number of foreign terrorists has prompted security agencies to review security measures and strategize on new measures.

A meeting of top officials and security agencies of Jammu and Kashmir was held at the headquarters of 15 Corps in Srinagar on Wednesday. “New security metrics were discussed. The focus was on how to prevent street protests in the coming days. The meeting was aimed at enhancing coordination,” a senior official told NDTV.
The high-profile meeting also discussed the role of foreign terrorists. Another official said, “The number of foreign terrorists has increased again as domestic recruitment in the organizations has decreased significantly.”
Official data shows that 37 of the 46 militants killed in the Union Territory this year were Pakistanis. There were only 9 local terrorists in it. This is the first time in the 33-year history of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir that the number of foreign terrorists killed is four times more than local terrorists.
The meeting held in Srinagar was chaired by RR Bhatnagar, Advisor to the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir and Army Commander, Northern Command, Upendra Dwivedi. Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police, Chinar Corps Commander and other senior officers of the army, state administration and security agencies also attended the meeting.
