Director General Inter-Services Public Relations Major General Asif Ghafoor said that 28-year-old Major Ishaq was killed in Kulachi of Dera Ismail Khan district.
"We have a sacred duty at hand of cleansing & defending our motherland; We shall do it," Ghafoor tweeted, confirming the death of the Army officer.
He, however, did not give any details about casualties suffered by militants in the operations.
Ghafoor said that army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and other senior officers, including Corps Commander Peshawar Lt Gen Nazir Butt attended the slain officer's funeral.
Major Ishaq is the fourth army officer to be killed during operations against terrorists by security forces in the last three months, Geo News reported.
