The phrase "All Eyes on..." has its digital roots in the Gaza conflict, where "All Eyes on Rafah" was used in 2024 to draw global attention to the humanitarian crisis in the Rafah region of Gaza. Since then, it has become an expression of public empathy and resistance, one that reappears in times of crisis when people believe the world is not watching closely enough.

Families, honeymooners, and pilgrims were caught in the crossfire with no chance to escape.
Among the victims was Navy Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, who was on his honeymoon with his wife. The couple married just six days before the trip. In the aftermath of the attack, a haunting image surfaced of Narwal's wife Himanshi sitting motionless beside his body.
The image has since gone viral, now circulating as a digital painting under the banner of "All Eyes on Pahalgam."

पाकिस्तान तो हमारा दुश्मन है ही, लेकिन उससे भी ज़्यादा ख़तरनाक वे लोग हैं जो देश में रहकर पाकिस्तान की दलाली करते हैं। #Pahalgam #pahalgamattack #PahalgamTerroristAttack #AllEyesOnPahalgam #HindusUnderAttack pic.twitter.com/olHBMer3le

Among the other victims were families from Gujarat, Maharashtra, Delhi, and Rajasthan, including newlyweds and pilgrims.
A tourist from Karnataka lost her husband in the attack. She and her 18-year-old son were among the few survivors. Overcome with grief, she pleaded with one of the terrorists to kill her as well. The assailant said, " I won't kill you. Go and tell Modi."
The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility for the attack. The terrorists allegedly asked tourists about their religion and made them recite an Islamic verse before shooting them at close range.

Elvish Yadav ruined many homes by promoting betting: 'Bhau Gang' claims responsibility for firing
Gurugram: Hours after unidentified attackers opened fire outside the residence of YouTuber Elvish Yadav in Haryana's Gurugram, an Instagram post surfaced in which the 'Bhau Gang' claimed responsibility for the attack. According to police, three bike-borne assailants sprayed over two dozen bullets at Yadav's house between 5.30 a.m. and 6 a.m. before fleeing the scene. The bullets hit the ground and the first floor of the residence, though no injuries were reported. The Instagram post, featuring two gun illustrations and the text 'BHAU GANG SINCE 2020,' alleged that the attack was linked to Yadav's promotion of illegal betting apps. The gang is reportedly led by Portugal-based fugitive gangster Himanshu Bhau. In the post, the alleged members wrote: "Today, the bullets that were fired at Elvish Yadav's house were fired by us, Neeraj Faridpur and Bhau Ritoliya. Today, we have introduced ourselves to him. He has ruined many homes by promoting betting. And all these social media bugs, we are warning that if anyone is found promoting betting, they can get a call or a bullet at any time. So all those who are into betting, be ready." So far, there is no official confirmation linking the online claim to the attack. Bigg Boss OTT winner Yadav, who lives on the second and third floors, was not present during the attack. His caretaker and some family members were inside at the time, but no one was injured. "Today, on 17.08.2025, at around 5:30/6:00 a.m., some unknown persons fired at a house under the jurisdiction of Police Station Sector-56, Gurugram. No person has been shot in this incident," Gurugram Police said in a statement. Additionally, the attackers are absconding. Police teams rushed to the spot, gathered forensic evidence, and began scanning CCTV footage from nearby areas. Officials said legal action is being initiated, and further investigation will proceed once Yadav's family registers a formal complaint. The father of the YouTuber said he had not received any threats before the incident. Yadav is currently outside Haryana for work. According to the investigation so far, the attack was carried out by three individuals riding a motorcycle. Multiple police teams are stationed at the site to track down the assailants. Yadav has been surrounded by controversies since he was arrested over allegations of using snake venom as a recreational drug at parties he allegedly organised.
