Afghanistan
Daily Evacuation Brief October 22, 2022
[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
  • TALIBAN LAUNCHES COUNTER-ISIS OPERATION IN KABUL – Taliban security forces descended on a suspected ISIS-K safe house located in the 8th Police District of Kabul and were met with rocket fire and small arms that began at approximately 2100hrs Local and continued well into the night. A source in the Ministry of the Interior said the Taliban had extracted information from a laptop owned by the ISIS-K media chief earlier in the week and had been keeping the house and its occupants under surveillance. It is not known how many terrorists were/are in the house and if any casualties had been taken by either side. It is possible, the ISIS-K cell targeted in this raid was planning an attack on Hazara neighborhoods in Western Kabul. Reports of an impending attack had been circulating on social media since early Friday morning.

  • WEAPONS CACHE SEIZED IN BAGHLAN – General Directorate of Intelligence agents raided a home in Pul-i-Khumri on a tip from a Taliban sympathizer. They recovered several weapons and ammunition but no arrests have been made and it is thought the occupants of the home were unaware the weapons were being stored there.

  • 3 GIRLS REPORTEDLY KILLED IN EXPLOSION IN BAGHDIS – A Chinese news site reported that 3 girls had been killed in a blast in Bagdhis Province. No further information was provided and we have not yet confirmed the incident happened.


CONFLICT TRACKER
Badakhshan: Taliban forces have engaged the NRF across four districts of the province: Arghanchkhah, Yiftal Bala, Ragh, and Sheewa. Sources state 21 Taliban fighters were killed and 7 wounded, while the NRF confirms that 10 NRF fighters were killed, including a top commander.
Baghlan: The Taliban launched an offensive in the Andarab region to try and pin down NRF forces, Resistance sources say they captured a base that belonged ti the NRF but it had been retaken on Friday, The Taliban lost 8 fighters and 5 wounded in the fight, while the NRF sustained 2 seriously wounded
Parwan: At approximately 2100hrs local time, 3 Taliban were reportedly killed by unknown gunmen in Siahgard (Ghorband Valley).
Kabul: Tqliban security forces raded a suspected ISIS-K safe house in Police District 8 on Friday evening. Fighting continued throughout the night.

NEXT 24 HOURS
  • FIGHTING IN BADAKHSHAN AND BAGHLAN EXPECTED TO CONTINUE – The Taliban claim to have amassed nearly 8,000 fighters in the Province over the past three weeks. Some analysts believe it is in preparation for an ‘end of season’ campaign by the NRF to attempt to take the Province and illustrate to the world the Taliban’s inability to control a strategic section of the country that borders Tajikistan, China, and Pakistan. Both the Resistance and the Taliban have shifted forces into the Province over the past several weeks. Other analysts simply see the Badakhshan campaign as a means to take pressure off of Panjshir before the coming Winter. Regardless of the motive, fighting may intensify and the casualties reported over the past four days are abnormally high. At-risk Afghans are warned to be cautious about travel in either Province for the time being.

  • POSSIBLE NRF OPERATION IN TAKHAR – Late reporting indicated NRF forces may have attacked a Taliban Command Post Dasht-e-Qala district of the Province. Travel in and around the area may be hazardous and at-risk Afghans are encouraged to remain alert.

Arabia
Yemeni Armed Forces carry out warning strike against petroleum theft in occupied Hadhramaut
Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Yehya Sare’e unveiled that the Yemeni Forces carried out a warning strike to prevent an oil ship that was attempting to loot crude oil from the Dhaba Port in Hadhramaut Province, eastern Yemen.

In a statement issued on Friday night, Brigadier General Yehya Sare’e said that the oil ship violated the resolution issued by the concerned sides about banning the transfer and export of the sovereign Yemeni oil derivatives.

"The warning message was to prevent the unending looting of the Yemeni oil wealth that is not given to the Yemeni people and to pay salaries and provide services. The warning message came after addressing the concerned sides at the ship and informing them about the decision based on the applied Yemeni laws and international laws," he stressed.

He continued: "The ship was dealt with upon warning measures through which we were keen to preserve the safety and security of Yemen’s infrastructure as well as the safety of the ship and its crew."

Sare’e affirmed that the armed forces won’t hesitate to carry out our duty to prevent and stop any ship that attempts to loot the wealth of our Yemeni people, and can launch more warning offensives to defend our great people and protect their wealth from looting.

Yemeni armed forces renewed their warning to all companies to fully abide by the resolutions issued by the national salvation government’s authority to refrain from taking part in looting the Yemeni wealth.

[Shafaq News] Kurdistan's Peshmerga Commando forces launched a large-scale search campaign near the borders of the region with the governorates of Saladin and Diyala, a source reported on Friday.

The operation comes in the aftermath of a kaboom that killed two officers and injured seven troops on the outskirts of Tuz Khurmato 48 hours ago.

The source told Shafaq News Agency that the combat forces proceeded with combing the vicinity of Khanaqin, which lies near Garmyan, and the areas between Kafri and Tuz Khurmato.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Islamic Jihad member killed during overnight IDF arrest raid in Jenin
[IsraelTimes] Video shows wanted Paleostinian attempting to flee after being detained; three others lightly injured, say Paleostinian health authorities

A young Paleostinian man, apparently affiliated with the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group, was killed early Friday morning during an Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin, Paleostinian health officials said.

According to the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry, 19-year-old Salah al-Buraiki suffered a mortal wound in the neck, while three others were maimed by live gunshots to their limbs.

Al-Buraiki’s body was wrapped with the flag of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad during his funeral, however, the terror group did not immediately claim him as a member.

A wanted Jenin resident in his 20s, identified by Paleostinian media as Baraa Alownah, was detained by Israeli security forces during the arrest raid.
