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 ?

Not quite, Pak army had made significant advances in the Chamb jorian sector and in panic the Indian army invaded Lahore and the war started.
