If Pakistan chooses to retaliate, their attack options would either be civilian or armed forces, both in gross violation of international law, leaving Pakistan in a catch-22 situation.
If Pakistan really wanted peace, it would had demolished the terror camps long back. It would had handed over Masood Azhar, Hafeez Saeed long back or could have suppressed them.
Any attempt to cite the Pakistani army reports and media reports to spread skepticism on whether or not the attacks have hit the targets should be refuted with historic sense and conscience.
