What does Pakistan's Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos mean?

    Share on

Pakistan fired drones and missiles, including a Fattah-1 missile, at India in a pre-dawn strike on Saturday under what Pakistani media called Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos. The firing of the Fattah-1 ballistic missile came as Pakistan escalated the situation a day earlier targeting 26 locations in India with drones and missiles after India's Operation Sindoor.

"Pakistan has started 'Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos'," reported Radio Pakistan.

Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos, has drawn attention not just for its strategic significance but also for its name, which carries deep cultural and religious symbolism. The term "Bunyan-ul-Marsoos," which translates to "Impenetrable Wall" from Arabic, has roots in Islamic traditions, specifically from a Quranic verse emphasizing strength and unity in the face of adversity.

According to Al Jazeera, "Bunyan Marsoos is an Arabic phrase which directly translates into 'a structure made of lead'."

According to the Qatar-based Al Jazeera, the verse from Quran reads: "Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure."

The name reflects Pakistan's intent to create a formidable defense against any external threat, portraying its military action as one of resilience and resistance.

The use of Quranic verse could also be part of the pattern of giving the attacks a religious tone.

Pakistan has been targeting gurdwaras, convents and temples in India with drones and missiles since Operation Sindoor. While India targeted only terror camps, Pakistan has tried to hit civilian and military areas. "Pakistan is again trying desperately to impart a communal hue to the situation with an intention to create discord. We are not surprised," Misri added. "India's steadfast unity in itself is a challenge to Pakistan," said Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on May 9.
