The Hamas-like attack was not possible in Jammu and Kashmir because of “the security model adopted and the extra thrust put on the man behind the machine”, D.K. Boora, Inspector General (IG) of the Border Security Force (BSF), said on Tuesday in Jammu.
“Whenever any event of security implications takes place in the world, it’s discussed [by the BSF]. I don’t think such [Hamas-like] thing is possible. Our security apparatus and its model are different. We can’t rely only on technology, thinking all the security concerns have been addressed. We don’t believe in that. We put extra thrust on the man behind the machine. Our local innovations are more fruitful many times than what’s adopted outside. The reason is we are close to the ground realities,” IG Boora said.
He made these remarks in his reply to a specific question on the possibility of the Hamas-like attack in Jammu given the similarities in topography of the region with Israel. Hundreds of Israelis were killed in an attack launched by Hamas on October 7 this year using motorized paraglides.
