Cornel West Holds Antisemitic Banner at ‘Free Palestine' Rally in L.A.
[Breitbart] Dr. Cornel West, an independent presidential candidate in 2024, joined a "Free Palestine" rally in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday and held an antisemitic banner depicting "Zionism" as a snake.

West had participated in a pro-Palestinian "student walkout" on Thursday, insisting that it was not about hating Jews, but opposing Israeli "occupation" (Israel has not occupied Gaza since 2005).

However, Saturday’s march featured explicit calls to eliminate Israel — a genocidal goal — and to arm Palestinian Hamas "fighters" (i.e. terrorists).
Shocking indeed.

Africa Horn
Al-Shabaab logistics base destroyed in Kenya
[Garowe] Multi-agency security teams in Kenya have destroyed yet another al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
base in the Northern Frontier Districts, authorities reported, terming the move as "vital progress" in the fight against the bad boys, who still pose a major threat in the country.

The al-Shabaab forces of Evil have been fighting to topple the fragile UN-backed federal government of Somalia, but in recent months, they have been on the receiving end due to ongoing operations. The group often targets security forces and innocent civilians both in Kenya and Somalia.

According to reports, the base was destroyed in Dahun in the Fafi constituency within Garissa County. Garissa and the neighboring Lamu, Mandera, and Wajir have been the major target areas by the bad boys, whose presence in Kenya has been dealt a major blow.

Security teams recovered foodstuffs like rice, sugar, and water for the al-Shabaab team behind IED attacks in the county. The forces of Evil hide in thickets from where they plan attacks on major link roads within the vast area using Improvised Explosive Devices [IEDs].

Recently, Kenya deployed Special Forces from the Kenya Defense Forces [KDF] in the region and have managed to effectively counter the bad boys. Most of the Special Forces occupied at least 14 Forward Operating Bases which were recently established along the volatile Kenya-Somalia border.

Authorities in Kenya reversed the decision to open the Kenya-Somalia border weeks after announcing the intended opening in phases. This, the Interior and National Administration Minister said, was due to the resurgence of al-Shabaab terrorist attacks in Northeastern Kenya.

Kenya has close to 4,000 troops serving in the African Union

Somali district official survives a landmine explosion in the capital
[ShabelleMedia] A local government official has narrowly beat feet from an IED explosion in the Somali capital, Mogadishu on Friday night, witnesses and police confirmed.

The official whose name has not yet been revealed is safe after a blast from a remote-controlled landmine attached to the wall of his house went off during the evening hours.

The targeted official is the administrator of a village in the Deynile district north of the capital, which is deemed as a hotbed of terror as al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
members often sneak into.

No casualties were reported as of now. Police cordoned off the scene and conducted an investigation into the attack, which is believed to be the work of the al-Qaeda affiliate.

Mogadishu has been relatively calm and has witnessed a brilliant transformation since Hassan Sheikh Mohamud assumed power last year following his historic re-election.

No group has so far grabbed credit for the latest attack in the restive capital, but al-Shabaab terror group usually stages such attacks in the Horn of Africa nation.

Ghana: EU delivers 105 military vehicles in face of jihadist threat from Sahel
[AFRICANEWS] Ghana's president Nana Akuffo Adodo discussed regional and international issues with the EU's top diplomat on Saturday (Oct. 28) in Accra.

On the occasion, Ghana received a fleet of some 100 armoured vehicles from the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
Ghana, along with Gulf of Guinea neighbours Togo, Benin
...Benin, a French-speaking West African nation, that they put where Dahomey used to be. It is a birthplace of voodoo and zombies. In Abomey, Dahomey's former capital, the Historical Museum occupies two royal palaces with bas-reliefs recounting the kingdom’s past and a throne mounted on human skulls. To the north, Pendjari National Park offers safaris with elephants, hippos and lions and tigers and bears, oh my!...
and Ivory Coast, are increasingly at risk from jihadi violence wreaking havok in the Sahel.

"It is imperative to understand that no single country can confront the terrorist threat on its own," Ghana's president said. "Collaborative efforts among nations facing this challenge and a critical support from partners such as the European Union who share our security concerns, remain crucial in mitigating the terrorist threat in the West African region."


The delivery of militarisee vehicles is officially part of aid that would later include aerial surveillance equipment and electronic warfare systems.

In a statement, the EU said the Ghana aid was part of a broader 616 million euros package to strengthen defence and security of the four coastal countries of the Gulf of Guinea.

While Ghana has not yet reported any jihadist attacks inside its territory, Benin's military say they have faced around 20 incursions from across the border since 2021. Togo has also suffered attacks on its northern frontier.

Eu foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell said EU investment would also target job creation and services especially in northern Ghana where there are concerns jihadists seek to take advantage of socio-economic dissatisfaction.

Terrorists attack Zamfara community, abduct district head, five others
[DAILYPOST.NG] Some button men suspected to be the bandidos causing havoc in parts of Zamfara State have attacked Ruwan Rana under the Bukkuyum Local Government Area of the state.

The head of the district, Magaji Makau and five others were reportedly kidnapped during the attack.

DAILY POST learned that the incident occurred on Saturday night when the gunnies invaded the community, shooting sporadically before whisking the victims to an unknown destination.

According to an eyewitness, the hard boyz also rustled an unspecified number of cattle belonging to residents of the community.

Efforts by DAILY POST to reach the state command were unsuccessful as the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Yazid Abdullahi did not take his calls.

However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
an eyewitness, a resident of Bukkuyum town, Ilyasu Abubakar confirmed the development to Channels Television.

"The bandidos entered the town on Saturday night and started shooting sporadically; people went into hiding because of the fear of being kidnapped," the resident said.

"They picked the district head and five other persons in the community; several livestock were also rustled", he said.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Mob storms Russian airport looking for Israelis
[GEO.TV] A mob looking for Israelis and Jews overran an airport in Russia's Caucasus republic of Dagestan
...a formerly inoffensive Caucasus republic currently bedevilled by low-level Islamic insurgency, occasional outbreaks of separatism, ethnic tensions and terrorism, primarily due to its proximity to Chechnya. There are several dozen ethnic groups, most of which speak either Caucasian, Turkic, or Iranian languages. Largest among these ethnic groups are the Avar, Dargin, Kumyk, Lezgin, and Laks. While Russers form less than five percent of the population, Russian remains the primary official language and the lingua franca...
on Sunday, after rumours spread that a flight was arriving from Israel.

The violence in the mostly Moslem region, which comes as war rages between Israel and Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, prompted Israel to call on Russia to protect its citizens, while the US condemned the "antisemitic protests".

The governor of Dagestan promised that those responsible for the incident would be punished.

Dozens of protesters, many of them chanting "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest), broke through doors and barriers at Makhachkala airport, with some charging onto the runway, according to videos posted on social media and Russia's RT and Izvestia media.

Russia's aviation agency Rosaviatsiya announced shortly afterwards that it had closed the airport to incoming and outgoing flights and that security forces had arrived.

"The situation is under control," local authorities said on Telegram.

A statement from the republic´s health ministry said there had been injuries, but did not elaborate on how many or who had been hurt.

Late on Sunday, Rosaviatsiya announced that the airport had been "freed" from the mob and would remain closed until November 6.

Nine residents of Azerbaijan suspected of collaborating with Iranian intelligence services
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Nine people suspected of collaborating with Iranian intelligence services to create a Sharia state in Azerbaijan have been arrested.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on May 16, security forces reported that they had detained seven residents of Azerbaijan (Elgun Agayeva, Ruslan Aliyev, Yusif Mirzoev, Elvin Jafarov, Savalana Huseynli, Bilal Sujeddin, Maharramali Musayev), who, according to investigators, were on instructions curator from Iran planned armed attacks with the aim of creating a state governed by Sharia law, “Kerime”.

Nine people suspected of collaborating with Iranian intelligence services to create the Kerime state were arrested in Azerbaijan, Trend reports today.

Those arrested were Farman Kerimov, Rufat Mailov, Vilayat Gadimov, Agil Rzayev, Bahruz Sadigov, Suleiman Alekperov, Usub Aliyev, Musa Guliyev and Tofig Ragimov, the agency reports.

The publication does not specify under what article the case is being investigated. The State Security Service of Azerbaijan, as of 14.27 Moscow time, did not report on its website about the detention of the suspects.

Let us recall that on April 6, Azerbaijani security forces detained six people suspected of collaborating with Iranian intelligence services. The investigation believes that they planned to create a “Kerime” state on the territory of Azerbaijan, governed by Sharia laws. On March 12, security forces in Azerbaijan reported the detention of more than 20 people on suspicion of involvement in a “deeply echeloned” Iranian spy network.

Relations between Iran and Azerbaijan have worsened against the backdrop of Baku’s plans to implement the Zangezur corridor project through Armenia. In October-November 2022, both countries held military exercises near the border and exchanged accusations of terrorist and sabotage activities. On January 27, the Azerbaijani embassy in Tehran was attacked, the head of security was killed and two guards were wounded.

On April 3, the countries exchanged notes of protest with accusations of propaganda between the two countries against each other. On April 6, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry declared four employees of the Iranian Embassy in Baku persona non grata, and on May 5, the Iranian Foreign Ministry in response declared the undesirability of four Azerbaijani diplomats staying in the country.

Video of fire in Nalchik Jewish cultural center released
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] In Nalchik, a fire occurred in a Jewish cultural center under construction; an anti-Semitic inscription was also painted on the building, as follows from published videos and photos.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, Muslims of the North Caucasus did not remain indifferent to the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Thus, in Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine; on October 28, the Muftiate of Dagestan reported on thousands of participants in prayers for the Palestinians. On October 28, protests against the arrival of refugees from Israel to the North Caucasus took place in Cherkessk and Khasavyurt.

Information about who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine is collected in the “Caucasian Knot” document “Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus.”

A video recording of a fire in a building under construction in Nalchik was published today by the anonymous telegram channel "Emergency Caucasus", which has 141 thousand subscribers. “There was a fire in the Jewish center under construction in Nalchik. First, someone set fire to the tires inside, and the fire spread to the building,” the publication says.

The footage of the video shows that on the first floor of an unfinished two-story building, enclosed by a fence, a fire is burning, accompanied by clouds of black smoke.

The same video was posted today on the anonymous telegram channel Baza. “In Nalchik (KBR), a Jewish cultural center was set on fire. According to local residents, someone threw burning tires into the center’s building under construction. Also, an [anti-Semitic] inscription appeared on the wall,” the publication says. In addition to the video, the publication is also illustrated with a photograph showing an anti-Semitic inscription in white paint on the façade of an unfinished building, covered in smoke.

The "Caucasian Knot" cannot yet verify where and when the published videos and photos were taken, and does not have information about the causes of the fire. The Ministry of Emergency Situations for Kabardino-Balkaria, as of 15.00 Moscow time, did not report the incident on its website or telegram channel. At the same time, the morning report on the department’s website notes that 12 fires were registered over the past 24 hours. Details are not provided in the summary.

Let us remind you that Muslims in the republics of the North Caucasus mostly sympathize with Palestine, but their support has not become unconditional , and the topic of the conflict is not the main one in society, scientists, activists and journalists from the North Caucasus Federal District previously interviewed by the Caucasian Knot indicated.

The Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus, commenting on the action held on October 28 in Cherkessk and calls to not allow refugees from Israel, called anti-Semitic actions unacceptable and called not to regard the opinion of their participants as the opinion of the people.

The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching the Iron Swords military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides.

The Islamic movement Hamas is recognized as terrorist in a number of countries: in particular, France and the European Union added it to the list of terrorist groups after the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said in response to a request from a deputy from St. Petersburg.

Makhachkala Airport Pogrom/riot News Roundup for October 29th, 2023
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Participants in an anti-Israeli rally in Makhachkala clash with the police, several detained.

As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, today hundreds of residents of the republic gathered at Uytash airport for the arrival of a flight from Tel Aviv at the call of anonymous Telegram channels . They declared that they would not allow Jews to enter Dagestan and organized searches of cars and buses. The young people even inspected the equipment of the security forces, trying to find those arriving from Israel. At 21.40 Moscow time, sources reported that the crowd had been pushed out of the runway.

Video is in Russian:



At the airport, detentions of people who ran out onto the runway began, the telegram channel “Echo of Dagestan” reported at 22.47 Moscow time. The post is accompanied by a short video, 25 seconds long, filmed through an airplane window. In it, about ten security forces are visible on the runway next to the plane; two people are lying on the runway, being held by the security forces.

The police began making arrests at the airport, the “Caution News” channel reported at 10:51 p.m. Moscow time. “Some of the Dagestanis were pinned down right on the runway, another group of protesters were pushed towards the fences - now they are fighting off the security forces,” the post says. The publication is also accompanied by a video, which shows a large number of security forces equipped with protective equipment with shields and batons. They pushed the crowd behind the fence, from where the screams were heard.

The airfield in Makhachkala has been cleared of illegally entered persons, the Federal Air Transport Agency reported. “At 22.20 Moscow time, thanks to the work of law enforcement agencies, the airfield was cleared of unauthorized entry by citizens,” the department reported on its Telegram channel at 22.57 Moscow time.

After the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Muslims in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District have repeatedly spoken out in support of the Palestinians. Thus, in Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine; the muftiates of Dagestan and Karachay-Cherkessia also reported thousands of participants in prayers in support of Palestine.

Who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine is stated in the “Caucasian Knot” document “Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus”.

A number of actions took on an anti-Israel character. Thus, on October 17, residents of Dagestan tried to hold an action in the central square of Makhachkala, which was stopped by security forces. In Cherkessk and Khasavyurt, protests were held against the arrival of refugees from Israel to the North Caucasus. The Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus (CCMCC) issued an appeal regarding the situation in Palestine and the reaction to it in the North Caucasus, calling anti-Semitic actions unacceptable, and also urged not to regard the opinion of their participants as the opinion of the people.

The fighting between Israel and the Hamas movement began on October 7 with hundreds of rockets fired at Israel, including civilian objects and civilians. Terrorists entered Israeli territory, taking hundreds of hostages. The Defense Army launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas, Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides .

The Islamic movement Hamas  is recognized as terrorist in a number of countries: in particular, France and the European Union added it to the list of terrorist groups after the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office reported.

The Dagestan Prosecutor's Office became interested in the mass unrest at the Makhachkala Uytash airport, the press service of the supervisory agency confirmed on October 29.

“The prosecutor’s office of the republic has placed control over the progress of the investigation of the criminal case into mass unrest at the Uytash airport,” the department said in a statement on its Telegram channel.

Earlier, in connection with the events at Makhachkala airport, investigative authorities opened a criminal case under Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Mass riots”).

As Regnum reported , due to the penetration of unknown persons into the territory of the Makhachkala airport, a decision was made to temporarily close the air harbor. The planes were redirected to alternate airfields.

Riots near the Makhachkala airport began on October 29 with the participation of several thousand people, people came with anti-Israel posters and chanted slogans in support of Palestine. At some point, part of the crowd broke the entrance doors and broke into the airport terminal building.

The head of North Ossetia, Sergei Menyailo, called the events in Dagestan a provocation planned from outside. He noted that he understands the feelings of Muslims who are ready to express support for Palestine, but there is no need to show aggression towards people of other nationalities.

Menyailo called on everyone to keep a cool head, not believe fakes and not give in to calls for protests. Enemies cannot be allowed to undermine society from within, the head of North Ossetia added.

Head of North Ossetia: actions in Dagestan planned from outside

The situation in Dagestan is a provocation planned from outside, the head of North Ossetia Sergei Menyailo said on October 29.

“I am sure that the surge in xenophobia that we are now seeing in neighboring regions is fueled from outside our country!” — he wrote in his Telegram channel.
“It wuz da Jooos — they musta dunnit!”
The head of North Ossetia noted that he understands the feelings of Muslims who are ready to express support for Palestine, but there is no need to show aggression towards people of other nationalities.
No? Fair enough.
Menyailo called on everyone to keep a cool head, not believe fakes and not give in to calls for protests. We cannot allow enemies to undermine society from within, the head of the republic added.

As Regnum reported , on October 29 in Dagestan, several hundred people gathered near the Flamingo Hotel in Khasavyurt and demanded that the Israelis be expelled from it. Police officers allowed two protesters into the hotel so that they could make sure that only tourists from Russian regions were in the hotel building. After viewing the rooms, the crowd began to disperse.

Also on October 29, riots began at the Makhachkala airport, and the operation of the air harbor was blocked. Several thousand people came with anti-Israel posters and slogans in support of Palestine. At some point, part of the crowd broke the entrance doors and broke into the airport terminal building.

The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, called on the residents of the republic, due to the worsening of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, not to succumb to provocations from enemy Internet resources, and to stop any attempts to split Russian society. He pointed out the need to conduct thorough searches to neutralize those destructive forces that push local residents to violate public order.

Military expert Yuri Podolyaka believes that the Ukrainian Center for Information and Psychological Operations is behind the anti-Jewish rallies in Russia. According to him, TsIPSO “doesn’t give a damn about both the first and the second,” the main thing for them is that “an internal war begins in Russia, which would distract the authorities from the destruction of Nazism.”

Police scuttle JI ‘Gaza March’, round up dozens in Islamabad
[Dawn] Police on Saturday detained over 40 workers as well as three leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
(JI) in two separate ’festivities’ on Srinagar Highway in a bid to stop the political party from organising a rally in support of Paleostine, allegedly without prior permission from the district administration.

JI Information Secretary Sajjad Ahmad Abbasi told Dawn that JI Islamabad chief Nasarullah Randhawa, and his deputies Kashif Chaudhry and Dr Farooq were also detained. Mr Abbasi said the party was preparing for the ’Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
March’ slated to be held on Oct 29 (Sunday) when a police contingent arrived at the venue and uprooted their camps.

Sharing information about the protest, the spokesperson said the JI approached the capital administration almost two weeks ago and sought permission in writing to organise the rally from Faizabad to the US embassy in the Diplomatic Enclave.

He claimed the political party reportedly altered the route of the march twice at the administration’s request — initially, from Zero Point to Dhokri Chowk and later from Sports Complex to Dhokri Chowk.

Mr Abbasi said JI leader Kashif Chaudhry approached Deputy Commissioner Irfan Nawaz Memon after the official did not respond to JI’s request for NOC to organise the protest rally. Subsequently, DC Memon allowed the JI to hold the march "on WhatsApp", he added.

After the approval of the deputy commissioner, preparations for the march were underway at Srinagar Highway, with the party setting up camps and installing a sound system. "In the afternoon, a heavy contingent of police reached the site...and started uprooting their camps and confiscated their equipment on the pretext of Section 144 and lack of permission from the administration for the protest rally," the JI spokesperson claimed.

The action resulted in a verbal altercation between the JI workers and the police, which subsequently led to a physical confrontation, the spokesperson said, adding that the JI workers pelted the police with stones. The police resorted to baton-charge and teargas shelling.

The police managed to round up at least three JI leaders and over two dozen workers and moved them to the Secretariat cop shoppe, he added.

In response to the police crackdown, the JI leaders gathered on the Srinagar Highway to address a presser. This prompted another round of confrontation between the JI and the police, he said, adding that the police detained more than 20 workers and shifted them to the lock-up.

In a comment on the law and order situation, a police front man said the arrests were made as "some people were attempting to block the Srinagar Highway".

"The highway is an inter-provincial connectivity road and blocking the road creates problems for the public," he added. The police advised them to follow prevalent procedures for peaceful protests.

27 terrorists killed in 10 infiltration bids in Kupwara: GOC 28 Div

] General Officer Commanding (GOC) 28 Div, Maj Gen GirishKalia Friday said that 27 bad boyz were potted along the Line of Control (LoC) in 10 different infiltration attempts during the last eight months in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district.

Addressing a news conference at 28 Div Headquarters at Zangli, Kupwara, a day after five bad boyz were potted while trying to infiltrate this side of LoC in the Machil sector, Maj Gen Kalia said that security forces had successfully foiled all the infiltration attempts made from the other side of the LoC.

"There is a constant endeavour to disrupt peace in Jammu and Kashmir but our alert security forces have thwarted every such attempt, improving the security situation. As a result, development and tourism have gained pace in recent times," he said.

Maj Gen Kalia said that warlike stores including five AK series rifles and narcotics were also recovered from the killed terrorists.

"Following a specific input generated by J&K Police in Kupwara regarding an infiltration attempt by a group of terrorists, a joint operation was launched by Indian Army’s 56 RR and J&K Police in Machil sector along the LoC. Multiple ambushes were laid by the security forces. A group of five hard boyz while taking advantage of dense forests infiltrated to this side on Thursday but were intercepted by the ambush teams, ensuing an encounter which led to the killing of five heavily armed foreign terrorists," he said. "In Machil, ’Operation Shikanja’ coincides with the momentous date in 1947 when Indian Army led by the infantry landed in Srinagar to protect men, women, and children of Kashmir from the invaders who came from Pakistain."

Addressing the media persons, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Kupwara, YougalManhas said that following the credible information of a possible infiltration bid in the Machil sector, the concerned Army unit was taken onboard and multiple ambushes were laid on the expected routes.

He said that Police and forces were determined to thwart every possible infiltration bid from across the border.

Commanding Officer (CO) 56 RR, RajatBirman said that the joint operation led to the elimination of five terrorists.

He said that although the terrain was very difficult, the ambush parties remained determined throughout the operation.

"Following the movement of hard boyz to this side, they were challenged, ensuing a shootout. Two bad boyz were potted initially and later three more bad boyz were potted."

He termed the killing of hard boyz a big achievement.



"Three (03) more #bully boyz of LeT killed (Total 05). Identification being ascertained. Search #operation in progress. Further details shall follow," said a police front man on X while quoting ADGP Kashmir.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Shani Louk ‘beheaded' by Hamas after she was kidnapped at music festival and paraded by terrorists: Israel
[NY Post] The young German-Israeli tattoo artist who was paraded through the streets of Gaza after being kidnapped by Hamas has been found dead after "sadistic" terrorists "chopped off her head," Israel’s president revealed Monday.

"I am truly sorry to report that we have now received news that Shani Nicole Louk has been confirmed murdered and dead," President Isaac Herzog told the German newspaper Bild.

"Her skull was found," he said, with the 23-year-old victim’s family also confirming that the death was confirmed by DNA on parts of her skull.

"This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured and killed Israelis.

"It is a great tragedy and I extend my deepest condolences to her family," the president said, according to a translation by i24 News.

"What we saw on the Gaza-Israel border goes far beyond a pogrom. We saw a slaughterhouse," he said.

"We saw the blood flowing in the streets. We have seen the most horrific tragedies imaginable," Herzog concluded.

Louk, 23, became a symbol of the horrors of Hamas when terrorists snatched her from the festival near Kibbutz Re’im as more than 1,400 people, mostly civilians, were killed Oct. 7.

#1  "The hard truth is that the world contains bad people who must be crushed through ruthless violence, which shocks and horrifies modern sensibilities. But it is reality nonetheless. When people want to kill you, you are at a decision point. You can either let them kill you or stop them. But stopping them often involves aesthetically displeasing actions, such as blowing them into little bits with bombs or shoving a bayonet into their guts and watching them die in agony. And it necessarily means inflicting death and damage on the noncombatant camp followers around them. That’s why they say war is hell. And that’s why starting one is probably not a good idea. But when someone else starts one, you have to choose them or you. Someone’s going to die badly, and you know, I propose it is those other guys."

Black Hebrew Israelites and Palestinian supporters clash during pro-Gaza march in Chicago
[BLAZE] Thousands gathered for a pro-Palestine protest in Chicago on Saturday. However, a bizarre brouhaha erupted between Black Hebrew Israelites and Palestinian supporters.

An estimated crowd of 5,000 pro-Palestine demonstrators marched in Chicago's Loop on Saturday afternoon demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war and that Palestine be freed.

The march supporting Gaza was reportedly organized by the Chicago Coalition for Justice in Palestine — a self-described organization to "mobilize those who seek justice in protest of Israel's violence against an innocent civilian population."

During the march, a group of Black Hebrew Israelites and pro-Palestinian protesters physically clashed with each other.

More than 30 Israeli military vehicles have stormed the Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
said Sunday its fighters were engaged in "heavy fighting" in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
where Israel has escalated ground operations, as calls multiply to deliver aid to the Paleostinian territory after weeks of siege and bombardment.

World leaders underlined the urgency of increasing aid into the Hamas-controlled territory and protesters worldwide rallied for a ceasefire, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu steeled his nation for a "long and difficult war".

Despite calls for a humanitarian truce
..The purposes of a truce are twofold: 1.) bring up more arms, ammunition, and reinforcements; and 2.) get the enemy to relax his vigilance. A truce is not the same thing as a ceasefire, and a ceasefire doesn't mean you have to stop shooting...
, international outrage and the potential risk to hostages held in Gaza, Israel has intensified the war triggered by Hamas’s unprecedented attack.

Hamas snuffies stormed across the Gaza border on October 7 in the deadliest attack in Israel’s history, killing 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping 239 others including many migrant workers, according to the latest figures provided Sunday by army front man Daniel Hagari.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says the retaliatory Israeli bombardment has killed more than 8,000 people, mainly civilians and half of them children.
...none of whom would be dead had they evacuated as directed by the IDF two weeks ago. But Hamas blocked the roads and bullied as many as they could into staying a being human shields, so all those deaths are on Hamas.
Panic and fear have surged inside the Paleostinian territory, where the UN says more than half of its 2.4 million residents are displaced and thousands of buildings destroyed.
Golly, It was only 2.3 million as of a few days ago... and the reality may be as little as half that — the Palestinians have been exaggerating birth rates and ignoring deaths and emigrations since they took over keeping the statistics.
Hamas’s armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said on Sunday its fighters were "engaged in heavy fighting... with the invading occupation (Israeli) forces in northwest Gaza."

Israel’s army said a new "stage" of the war started with ground incursions since late Friday, an escalation from two brief operations earlier in the week.

AID ’ACCELERATION’
In a phone call with Netanyahu on Sunday, US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
"underscored the need to immediately and significantly increase the flow of humanitarian assistance to meet the needs of civilians in Gaza", according to a readout of the conversation from the White House.

And in a separate call with President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi of Egypt, which borders Gaza to the south, the two leaders "committed to the significant acceleration and increase of assistance", the White House said.

UN chief António Guterres
...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years...
said the situation was "growing more desperate by the hour" as casualties increase and essential supplies of food, water, medicine and shelter dwindle.

Top Hamas official Musa Abu Marzouk in a statement Sunday called on Egypt to take "decisive" action to speed up aid to Gaza.

"Egypt should not remain a spectator. We expect a decisive stance by Egypt allowing aid to enter Gaza as soon as possible," he said.

The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy Society said Israel was repeatedly bombing around al-Quds hospital in central Gaza, causing damage and putting civilians at risk.

Mohammed al-Talmas, who has taken shelter in Gaza’s biggest hospital Shifa, said "the ground shook" with intense Israeli raids.

The UN agency for Paleostinian refugees, UNRWA, said "thousands of people" broke into several of its warehouses and distribution centres in Gaza, grabbing basic items like flour and hygiene supplies.

"This is a worrying sign that civil order is starting to break down," it said.

A US government official, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered...
, said earlier Israel was committed to allowing 100 to aid trucks into Gaza daily -- a figure the UN has said was needed to meet the most basic needs.

’ALL AREAS ARE DANGEROUS’
On Sunday Israel’s military said it had struck hundreds of Hamas targets and increased its ground forces in Gaza. Military front man Hagari vowed to "chase down" Hamas’s leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.

The army said troops had "confronted" snuffies who emerged out of a tunnel in north Gaza, highlighting challenges in Hamas’s vast underground network to Israel’s ground operation.

In a late-night televised address on Saturday, Netanyahu announced a "second stage of the war" to "eradicate" Hamas, the Paleostinian militia that has governed Gaza since 2007.

Communications were down in Gaza after Israel cut internet lines ahead of the intensification of its operations, although connectivity was gradually returning on Sunday.

The "burden" lies with Israel to distinguish between snuffies and innocent civilians in Gaza, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
television.

Hagari again urged Paleostinian civilians to go south "to a safer area", but residents remained wary as air strikes continue.

Ibrahim Shandoughli, a 53-year-old from Jabaliya in northern Gaza, told AFP he and his family went nowhere.

"Where do you want us to evacuate to? All the areas are dangerous."

’PSYCHOLOGICAL GAMES’
In Israel, sympathy has swelled for the families whose loved ones were kidnapped by Hamas and are at heightened risk as the war intensifies.

Hamas has released four hostages, but this week said "almost 50" had been killed by Israeli strikes, a claim that was impossible to verify.

"We demanded that no action be taken that endangers the fate of our family members," said Meirav Leshem Gonen, the mother of hostage Romi Gonen.

After Hamas said it was prepared to release the hostages if Israel freed the Paleostinian prisoners it was holding, Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant accused the group of playing "psychological games".

"Hamas is cynically using those who are dear to us -- they understand the pain and the pressure," Gallant told relatives of hostages, according to a statement released by his office.

Ifat Kalderon, whose relatives are believed held in Gaza, told AFP she supported the idea of a prisoner release in exchange for the hostages.

"Take them, we don’t need them here," she said, referring to Paleostinian detainees.

The ground operations have heightened fears that Israel’s other enemies -- the Iran-allied "axis of resistance" forces in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?

Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi warned on X, formerly Twitter, that Israel’s "crimes have crossed the red lines, which may force everyone to take action".

Top ally the United States has warned Israel’s enemies to stay out and strengthened its military presence in the region.

Skirmishes have intensified on the Israeli-Lebanese border with Iran-backed Hamas ally Hezbollah, raising fears of a new front.

On Sunday snuffies in south Lebanon fired rockets towards Israel, which has responded with strikes, in a fresh escalation along the border.

Violence has also spiked in the occupied West Bank since the October 7 attacks, with more than 110 Paleostinians killed, according to the territory’s health ministry.

reported fierce air and artillery strikes early on Monday as Israeli troops backed by tanks pressed into the enclave with a ground assault that drew increased international calls for the protection of civilians.

Israeli air strikes hit areas near Gaza City’s Shifa and al-Quds hospitals, and Paleostinian bully boyz clashed with Israeli forces in a border area east of the city of Khan Younis, in the enclave’s south, Paleostinian media reported.

There was no comment from Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
or the Israeli military on the fighting early on Monday. Rooters was not able to confirm the reports.

The bombardments came hours after Israel released images of battle tanks on the Paleostinian enclave’s western coast, signalling a potential effort to surround Gaza’s main city two days after the Israeli government ordered expanded ground incursions across its eastern border.

Some pictures posted online also appeared to show Israeli soldiers waving an Israeli flag deep inside Gaza. Rooters could not verify the images.

Israel’s self-declared "second phase" of a three-week war against Iranian-backed Hamas bully boyz has largely been kept from public view, with forces moving under darkness and a telecommunications blackout cutting off Paleostinians.

13 dead in Israeli attack on Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque in Gaza
[GEO.TV] Arab media reported Sunday that 13 Paleostinians were martyred and dozens injured in an Israeli attack on Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque of Deir al-Bila in central Gazoo

Many houses adjacent to the mosque were also completely destroyed by the Israeli bombardment. Eyewitnesses reported that multiple children were also martyred in the Israeli barbaric bombardment.
So did the mosque contain a Hamas headquarters or was it yet another weapons storage depot? I lean toward the latter — Hamas secondaries are so dramatic... But on the other hand, bunker busters going after leadership hiding places deep underground do serious damage to overlying surface structures. Two appealing choices, both unfortunately resulting in casualties among the human shields.

The targets hit included command infrastructure and other Hezbollah-owned military installations, the IDF added.

As Regnum reported , on October 29, Hezbollah announced that it had repelled an attack by Israeli Air Force unmanned aerial vehicles on the Al-Khiyam area in southern Lebanon. It is clarified that Lebanese Islamic resistance fighters hit one of the drones with a surface-to-air missile, which fell on Israeli territory.

Earlier, the IDF said that they recorded the launch of three shells from Lebanese territory, and in response, fire was opened in the area from which the shooting was fired. Israeli air defense forces intercepted two projectiles and another landed in an open area.

The IDF General Staff said that the Israeli Army has been placed on a high level of combat readiness on the border with Lebanon.

Hezbollah says it has repelled an Israeli drone attack in southern Lebanon
“Islamic resistance fighters hit one of the drones with a surface-to-air missile, which fell on Israeli territory,” the report said.

As reported by IA Regnum , according to the IDF, on October 29, the Israeli military recorded the launch of three shells from Lebanese territory and returned fire in the area from which the shooting took place.

Before this, it became known that the Israeli authorities had brought their troops to a high level of combat readiness on the Lebanese border.

US President Joe Biden, in a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu , called on Tel Aviv to “maintain maximum restraint” in relation to objects in Lebanon and pointed to the threat of escalation of the confrontation with Hezbollah.
No.

Airstrike hits Iraq-Syria border
[Shafaq News] An unnamed security source reported on Sunday evening that the Iraq-Syria border region was struck by an unidentified aerial attack, marking the second incident of its kind within 72 hours.

The attack targeted the vicinity of al-Bukamal city in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, near the Iraq-Syria border. Details about the Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
remain limited at this time.

This event follows a series of recent attacks against U.S. forces in both Iraq and Syria.

The U.S. Department of Defense confirmed early Friday morning that airstrikes were conducted against two facilities in al-Bukamal, believed to be affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and supporting militias. The strikes, executed around 4:30 AM local time in Syria (0130 GMT), utilized precision munitions and were carried out by two American F-16 fighter jets, according to the Pentagon.
Not Israeli? Interesting.

26 killed in clash between SDF, pro-Syrian regime armed group
[Rudaw] At least 26 people were killed in festivities between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and gunnies affiliated with the Syrian regime in the country’s eastern Deir ez-Zor province.

The Kurdish-led SDF said that in the early hours of Sunday morning, their positions on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River came under artillery and mortar fire by pro-regime "mercenaries" attempting to infiltrate SDF-held territory.

At least 19 pro-government fighters were killed in the festivities and an additional 20 injured, according to the SDF statement. At least three SDF members and four civilians were also killed.

State-run SANA news reported one civilian killed by an SDF rocket.

The Arab-majority province of Deir ez-Zor was where Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) gunnies made their last stand and were territorially defeated. Control of the province, which borders Iraq, is now split between the SDF and the Syrian regime, with its Iranian backer. It is also home to many of the country’s key oilfields, such as Omar and Conoco, which the US-led global coalition against ISIS helps the SDF protect.

There is a history of tense relations between the Kurdish-led SDF and some Arab tribes in the province. Some anti-SDF groups have claimed that the Kurdish-led force is targeting Arabs, but the SDF has rejected the accusations.

Clashes erupted between the SDF and a number of Arab tribes in Deir ez-Zor in late August after the Kurdish-led force arrested a key member of these tribes, who was also a commander of the SDF, over several charges, including drug trafficking and coordinating with external entities.

Tribes loyal to the arrested commander launched attacks on the SDF. After days of battling, the SDF was able to retake all areas it had lost to these groups. At least 90 people were killed.

US base in Syria's Hasakah province comes under drone attack
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The American military base in Al-Shaddadi in the northeast of the Syrian province of Hasakah was attacked by a UAV, Al Mayadeen TV channel reports.

It is noted that the Iraqi Islamic Resistance movement,
...Iranian sockpuppets...
which includes Shiite armed groups, took responsibility for the attack.

As Regnum reported, earlier drones attacked an American military base in eastern Syria near the El-Omar oil field. After the attack, several explosions occurred throughout the base. In addition, unmanned aerial vehicles attacked the US base in Al-Shaddadi in the south of Hasakah province.

The Islamic Resistance of Iraq movement claimed responsibility for the attacks; it includes fighters from Shiite armed groups who fought against terrorists from the Islamic State group (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation).
