In the footage, Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives are seen undergoing training in small groups. The video is reportedly from Lahore, specifically from the Muridke training camp. This is where Saeed has resumed militant training activities for Lashkar operatives. In the footage, terrorists are seen practising high jumps, long jumps, and even boat preparation drills.

Inside the Lashkar's new training camp: Tactics, weapons and warfare
The training methods used at the Lashkar camp are intense and varied. Inflatable boats made of rubber or plastic are used for swimming drills. Terrorists are trained to dive deep using oxygen cylinders. Wooden saw machines are employed for drilling practice.
The training includes long jumps, jumping through fire rings, front flips, and obstacle navigation. Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives are trained in both hand-to-hand combat and the use of firearms. They practise with AK-47 rifles, knives, and swords. In addition to physical endurance, strategic movement, and weapons handling, the training also includes martial arts and horse riding. This is aimed at preparing them for difficult terrains such as the mountainous regions along the India–Pakistan border.
Abu Zarr takes command of Muridke terror camp after India's strikes
Following India's aerial strikes on Muridke, Hafiz Saeed has reportedly handed over control of the terror camp to another Lashkar-e-Taiba commander named Abu Zarr. He now manages the security of the Markaz-e-Taiba headquarters. Abu Zarr is often seen with an AK-47 in hand, usually accompanied by another armed militant for protection.
From this camp, the best-performing recruits are selected and sent to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. There, Pakistan's military provides them with advanced training. These trained militants are then sent across the Line of Control (LoC) to launch attacks on Indian soil. The entire network continues to operate despite international pressure, raising serious concerns over Pakistan’s handling of terrorism within its borders.
