According to local sources, a meeting was held on Friday between a military colonel and tribal elders from Tehsil Dossali and Tehsil Garhiom, North Waziristan. The colonel reportedly presented four conditions to the residents, stating that no leniency would be shown. The conditions outlined by the colonel:

1. The military does not have precision targeting capabilities, and residents will be responsible for any damage. 2. Residents living near mountainous areas were advised to relocate, with a warning that action would be taken if militants are spotted near homes, regardless of civilian presence. 3. Any location from which fire is directed at forces will be targeted without regard for civilian structures or populations. 4. If militants are present in a mosque, villagers were instructed to leave immediately, as action would be taken inside the mosque.

According to sources, tribal elders expressed concern that the conditions were directed at civilians rather than militants. When elders questioned why the military could not eliminate the militants directly, the colonel responded that the instructions originated from higher command and that checkpoints would be intensified. The colonel further stated that operations would be conducted wherever deemed necessary. Note: This information is based on local sources and has not been independently verified.
