The operation was launched to address the persistent threat of terrorism and to build upon the successes achieved during [[Operation Zarb-e-Azb]], which commenced in 2014 as a joint military offensive.
 The objectives of Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad include not only the elimination of terrorist threats but also the consolidation of security gains along Pakistan's borders. The operation involves active participation from various branches of the armed forces, including the [[Pakistan Army]], [[Pakistan Air Force]], [[Pakistan Navy]], and [[Law enforcement in Pakistan | Pakistan Police]], along with other warfare and civil armed forces coordinated under the Government of Pakistan.
-As of 2021, more than 3,75,000 intelligence-based operations have been conducted as part of this initiative. Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad has garnered significant recognition for its role in enhancing national security and countering terrorism, building on the groundwork laid by [Operation Zarb-e-Azb]].
+As of 2021, more than 3,75,000 intelligence-based operations have been conducted as part of this initiative. Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad has garnered significant recognition for its role in enhancing national security and countering terrorism, building on the groundwork laid by [[Operation Zarb-e-Azb]].
+Pakistan has faced severe challenges from terrorism largely due to its homegrown terrorism, its state-sponsored terrorism against the Republic of India, and geographical proximity to the historically unstable Afghanistan and the radicalisation that has permeated the region since the onset of the Soviet-Afghan War in 1979. The decision to provide land for hosting global jihadist movements in the 1980s significantly altered the social fabric of the country, leading to an enduring wave of terrorism that has persisted over the decades. The height of this radicalisation and terrorism was observed between 2006 and 2014.
+A key operation in this campaign was "Operation Zarb-e-Azb", which commenced in June 2014. This operation effectively targeted and dismantled terrorist hideouts, training camps, and breeding grounds both in urban centers and remote areas.
+Despite these successes, it became evident that Pakistan needed to establish a robust mechanism to ensure the continuity and sustainability of anti-terrorism efforts to solidify the gains achieved through Operation Zarb-e-Azb. The transition of military leadership was critical; following the retirement of General Raheel Sharif, it was recognized that the long-term success of the operation hinged on a leadership capable of managing the rehabilitation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) from the former Federally Administrative Tribal Areas (FATA), Swat Valley, and other regions bordering Afghanistan. This focus on rehabilitation was essential for restoring stability and preventing a resurgence of terrorism in these areas.
+Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad encompassed a comprehensive approach involving Broad Spectrum Security (Counter Terrorism) operations led by the Rangers in Punjab, along with the continuation of ongoing military operations throughout the country. A significant focus of the operation was on enhancing border security management to prevent cross-border terrorism and illicit activities.
+In addition to these primary objectives, the operation also prioritized countrywide disarmament and the control of explosives to mitigate threats from armed groups. The implementation of the National Action Plan served as a cornerstone of this operation, guiding the strategic framework for counter-terrorism efforts across Pakistan. This multifaceted strategy aimed not only to dismantle existing terrorist networks but also to establish a more secure environment through effective law enforcement and community engagement initiatives.
+== Etymologies ==
+'''Radd-ul-Fasaad''' ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|رد الفساد}}}}) translates to "''elimination of strife''". The term "Radd" means "rejection", while "Fasaad" is synonymous with the Arabic word "Fitna," which refers to "civil strife" or "discord". This nomenclature reflects the operation's objective of rejecting and eradicating the turmoil and instability caused by terrorism and extremist elements within society. The choice of this name underscores a commitment to restoring peace and security in Pakistan.
