There have been four incidents of violence in Pakistan's tribal areas of North Waziristan so far this month, with the casualties of security forces and militants raising concerns.
After these incidents, questions are being raised about whether these are normal operations or whether militants are reuniting in these tribal areas.
These incidents of violence have occurred in Datta Khel and its proximity to North Waziristan, near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
The latest incident occurred on April 14 when security forces raided a militant's intelligence service, killing a security official there.
A similar raid was conducted a few days ago at Dargai, near Datta Khel, where a security official and two militants were killed in the clash.

Earlier, seven militants were killed in a military operation in North Waziristan and Mohmand Agency. Security forces apparently carried out these operations on reports of presence of militant organization personnel.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been a major force in Pakistan and has claimed responsibility for numerous violence incidents in different areas of Pakistan.
After Operation Zarb-e-Azb, the organization's shiraz has been scattered and now, according to observers, the Taliban are divided into different factions.
The question also arises as to whether this organization is involved in the most recent incidents of violence in North Waziristan and South Waziristan, or are the groups affiliated to this organization or the extremist elements of the organization still in the area. I am somewhere or have returned after the operation.
As a result of Operation Zarb-e-Azb, the militants who were hiding and who fled across the border to Afghanistan are now aware that some of them are returning somewhere in the tribal areas and Activities have also been observed.
How many extremists are across the border and what do they want?
According to sources, policy makers are also considering suggestions on various topics related to extremists for setting up each policy, including a request in which they have been asked to pardon the extremists. Has come across the border.
According to Afghan and Defense Affairs Brigadier Retired Mahmood Shah, he also has reports that requests have been made to provide amnesty to returning militants.
He told the BBC that there are about 9,000 Taliban who want to come to Pakistan on the border and have requested that they be forgiven.
Brigadier-retired Mahmud Shah says he was talked to at a high level and advised that it should be discussed with local tribal leaders and that only tribal leaders could guarantee it.
He said that no decision has been taken so far on what to do with the militants, but the government does not consider the request so far.
Has anyone been forgiven?
Locals from tribal areas such as North and South Waziristan said they had been seen by people who were affiliated with extremist organizations in the past.
Locals, on the condition of anonymity, said they were mostly secretly located in areas close to the Pak-Afghan border and were not openly exposed.
According to reports from North Waziristan, although the incidents of violence are occurring on a daily basis, the overall situation is not much worse or not the same as the operation was before Zarb-e-Azb and when the militants were present in the open population.
Brigadier Mahmood Shah said some of the people from North and South Waziristan have been forgiven and who were formerly associated with the extremist organization.
He said that it was a fact that the people who surrendered were forgiven but were not accepted at the local level.
He said that although the tradition of carrying weapons in these tribal areas is now obsolete, those who have returned with surrender carry a gun so that they can protect themselves.
The example of a Tehreek-e-Taliban spokesman is clearly exemplified in this regard.
The TTP and then Jamaat-ul-Harar spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan surrendered in April 2017 and later escaped with the custody of security forces, including children.
Brigadier retired Mehmood Shah says that Ehsanullah Ehsan's escape has become a big question for the authorities, after which it can be difficult to forgive the rest.
Journalist and analyst Rahimullah Yousafzai says that he does not believe that such an escape can happen.
He said that it seems that the information that I had to get from Ehsanullah Ehsan had been obtained and he was no longer needed.
The tradition of revenge
Locals said that there is a tradition of revenge law in the tribal areas, and those who surrendered, they also feared that locals could take revenge on them.
