'Jamaat-Ul-Mominaat': JeM Forms First Women’s Wing; Masood Azhar's Sister Sadiya Azhar to Head Unit

Jaish-e-Mohammed forms its first women’s brigade to strengthen psychological warfare and recruitment after losing family members and headquarters in Operation Sindoor, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, Jaish-e-Mohammed announced Jamaat-ul-Mominaat, its women's wing, in a letter issued in the name of Maulana Masood Azhar, JeM chief and UN-designated terrorist.
  • After Operation Sindoor, which destroyed JeM's Markaz Subhanallah headquarters, Masood Azhar lost family members including Yusuf Azhar, killed on May 7, which sources link to forming the women's unit.
  • Recruitment began on October 8, 2025, at Markaz Usman-o-Ali, Bahawalpur, with Sadiya Azhar, sister of Masood Azhar, named leader by JeM propaganda sources.
  • Intelligence sources say the unit will focus on psychological warfare, including propaganda, recruitment, fundraising, and courier roles, while analysts believe recruits may be groomed as female suicide attackers.
  • Online and madrasa networks are being used to spread activities via social media, WhatsApp and madrasas targeting Jammu & Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh and southern India with devotional imagery and a two-phase indoctrination model.
