Pakistan Army’s failed Operation Gibraltar, whose objective was to infiltrate Kashmir valley with Army regulars disguised as Kashmiris, was the immediate trigger for the war.

Incidentally, Gibraltar is a rock formation located at the southernmost tip of Iberian peninsula. The word Gibraltar is a mutilated form of its Arabic name *Jabal-i-Tarik, *which means “Rock of Tarik”, and was the base from which the Muslim Berber tribes of Africa started their conquest of infidel lands, that would later be known as Al-Andalus/Spain. Interesting, no ?

Naming Missions and Missiles on the names of Muslim generals and places associated is not a new phenomenon and I think same thing is followed on other side of the border.
