Raven's Revenge is a vile vengeance methodology adopted by the criminal, terrorist, subversive groups along with various intelligence agencies, to avenge the harm caused by the enemies in genuine cases of conflict.
The method typically involves killing or harming the unarmed and harmless family members of the enemy forces' prioritized members, or directly harming them when they are retired from service.
Raven's Revenge typically involved murdering the retired soldiers or their family members.
Profilian has drawn a direct analogy of this phenomenon with the nature of Ravens who tend to attack the eagle nest when the mother eagle is away or distracted through diversions created by associate ravens. The ravens then attack the eagle chicks- kill or kidnap them.
Apart from Ravens, Baboons too attack the tiger or lion cubs in similar pattern, prompting us to synonymize Raven's Revenge as Baboon's Revenge.
There are some classic cases of the Raven's Revenge syndrome:
Khandwa Lone Wolf Conspiracy: The lone wolf in Khandwa case wanted to launch a spectacular terror attack in order to draw a terror franchise in Khandwa. His first plan was to strike the family members of the serving soldiers of Indian Army or the retired soldiers who are old and unarmed.
David Headley @ Daud Gilani's plan: The recce agent of Pakistani spy agency ISI and terror outfit Lashar-e-Taiba had proposed to the ISI his plans for targeting the retired soldiers in their houses.
2024 Iranian Spy Ring in Israel: Shabak or Shin Bet, the internal security agency of Israel had busted a network of 40 members of 9 coverts cells operating for Iran in the Israeli territory. The network was tasked with gathering intelligence on retired military officials and their family members in order to target them.
Extensive observation suggests Raven's Revenge is a typically Islamist methodology, adopted by Islamic terrorist and military forces.
One might argue that there 'might be' other agencies or groups operating on the same principle, however there is none in public knowledge other than in the zeal of self-proclaimed liberals out to equalize all ideologies.
On the contrary be it terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba, or Hamas or intelligence services like ISI or IRGC, they are sole and extensive practitioners of such vile methodology.
