Operation Gibraltar was a covert military operation launched by Pakistan in 1965 with the objective of capturing Kashmir. Named after the strategic location of Gibraltar, this operation was designed to incite an insurgency in Indian-administered Kashmir, with the hope that local Kashmiris would rise up against Indian rule. The plan involved sending thousands of trained Pakistani soldiers and guerrilla fighters disguised as locals into Kashmir to instigate rebellion and weaken India's control over the region. Pakistan believed this would spark a full-scale revolt, making it easier to annex Kashmir. However, the operation did not go as planned. The local population did not support the infiltrators, and instead, the Indian Army swiftly countered the intrusion, leading to the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. The failure of Operation Gibraltar played a key role in escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, eventually leading to the infamous Battle of Haji Pir and the large-scale conflict that followed. In this video, we dive deep into the details of Operation Gibraltar, discussing its planning, execution, and the reasons behind its failure. We also explore the impact this operation had on the geopolitical situation in South Asia and the future of the Kashmir conflict. #OperationGibraltar #pakistan #kashmirconflict #indopakwar #1965war #indianarmy #kashmirhistory #hajipir #indiavspakistan #history
