Overview

• Demolition at Markaz Taiba began on August 18 with five JCBs, key structures were razed by September 4, and the final accommodation block came down on September 7, with debris now being cleared.
• Pakistan publicly pledged in May to fund reconstruction of damaged facilities, and LeT received PKR 4 crore on August 14 to initiate rebuilding of the Muridke complex.
• Reporting and intelligence assessments indicate LeT is running online and offline appeals branded as “Relief for flood victims,” including via Khidmat e Khalaq, to channel donations into reconstruction.
• Senior figures Maulana Abu Zar, Ustad ul Mujahiddin, and Yunus Shah Bukhari are overseeing the project, which is targeted for completion before February 5, 2026, for the Kashmir Solidarity Day convention.
• Following the May 7 strikes that destroyed accommodation, weapons storage, and training buildings, LeT shifted training from Markaz Aqsa in Bahawalpur to Markaz Yarmouk in Kasur district under Abdul Rashid Mohsin.
