-Lurid Crime Tales-
Home of suspect in killing of elderly Jewish man at pro-Palestinian protest searched by police
Follow up to this story from two days ago.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The Ventura County Sheriff's office held a presser on Tuesday following the death of David Kessler, a 69-year-old man who was killed on Sunday. Police stated that the suspect in the homicide was the individual who called 911 after Kessler suffered a head injury, and that a search warrant was executed on his home. They did not identify the suspect.

Ventura County Sheriff Jim Fryhoff began by expressing his condolences to the family and friends of the now-deceased victim.

"On Nov. 5, 2023, at approximately 3:20 in the evening, the sheriff's communication center received multiple calls regarding a possible assault in an unconscious male who was bleeding at the intersection of Thousand Oaks Boulevard and West Lake Boulevard in the city of Thousand Oaks," Fryhoff said.

"Flyers distributed on social media indicated a demonstration for freedom for Paleostine protest and the counter protest was led by we are pro Israel. There were an estimated 75 to 100 people at the demonstration between both groups."

Fryhoff said that the suspect of the homicide had dialed 911 himself, and was cooperative during the incident. He also revealed that a search warrant was executed on the suspect's home.

The lethal hit came from blunt force trauma on the back of the head, according to chief medical examiner Chris R. Young, who also spoke during the presser.

The Sheriff told news hounds they still do now know if a blow to the face, which was acknowledged by the chief medical examiner, caused the fall.

The Daily Mail has the name and photos of the accused murderer, identifying the victim as Paul Kessler, not David:
College professor Loay Alnaji is named as the pro-Palestinian 'who killed Jewish protestor Paul Kessler' when rival rallies clashed in Thousand Oaks, California
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Computer science professor Loay Alnaji, 50, has been identified as the man who allegedly hit Paul Kessler with a megaphone knocking him to the ground

  • The incident occurred when pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian rallies clashed in Thousand Oaks, California, on Sunday afternoon

  • Kessler died in the hospital the following day from an injury sustained when his head hit the pavement

Arabia
Houthis announce the destruction of the American MQ-9 drone
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Houthi rebels shot down a US MQ-9 reconnaissance drone over Yemeni territorial waters. Yahya Saria , a representative of the Houthi rebel movement Ansar Allah, reported thison his Telegram channel.

“Our air defense systems managed to shoot down an American MQ-9 drone, which was carrying out hostile reconnaissance operations in the airspace over the territorial waters of Yemen as part of American military support for the Israeli regime,” the movement’s representative said in a publication.

The message is accompanied by a photograph showing a drone in the sky, blazing with fire.

As Regnum reported , earlier Yemen's Houthi rebels showed a video of missiles being launched towards Israel.

It also became known that on October 31, Houthis from the Shiite group Ansar Allah launched drones and ballistic missiles into Israel. The organization's representative, Yahya Saria, announced that the Houthis intend to continue to attack targets in Israel. On October 13, Ansar Allah expressed its readiness to support the Palestinians in the fight against Israel.

Hezbollah terrorists nabbed in Brazil after planning terrorist attack on Jews: report
[NYPOST] Brazilian authorities have apprehended two men with Hezbollah ties who were planning attacks on the country's Jewish community, the Times of Israel reports.

Mossad, Israel's spy agency, confirmed their involvement in the terrorism bust in a statement.

One of the Death Eaters was nabbed at Sao Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport after having flown in from 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? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
The Death Eaters intended to target Jewish sites including synagogues.

Fifth Column
Mass Brawl Outside Gal Gadot's Screening of Film of Hamas Atrocities, film shown only 70 times in 30 countries - mostly to gov’ts, journalists, intelligence agencies
[Newsweek] A Los Angeles screening Gal Gadot helped facilitate of a film showing the October 7 surprise attack on southern Israel by Hamas militants was marred by a mass brawl outside the venue on Wednesday night.

Video footage shared by Los Angeles' KABC-TV shows at least two groups clashing outside the city's Museum of Tolerance on Pico Boulevard.

Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department arrived at the scene as punches were exchanged and pepper spray was used.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, some 200 people were in attendance at the screening, where there was a heavy security presence. An official with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, and Hollywood executives were among those reported to have attended the event.

Called Bearing Witness, the 43-minute film was described as featuring "extremely graphic and violent" video footage "documenting the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7th, 2023." According to reports, the film includes footage shot by members of Hamas.

The location of the film's screening was shared online ahead of time, necessitating an FBI advance team, per The Hollywood Reporter. On the night of the screening there was a heavy police presence, with several LAPD officers stationed outside the museum's theater, on the surrounding streets and in a helicopter.

#BREAKING: Two groups clash outside L.A.'s Museum of Tolerance as the center screens a film on Hamas atrocities. LAPD officers move in as several people appear to have been punched and pepper-sprayed. Eyewitness News is live with the tense situation. Tonight at 11 from ABC7 Nov 09, 2023 at 2:55 AM EST
-- So far no mass shootings at these gatherings unlike so many others in the last 4 years.



Los Angeles-based J-Town Action and Solidarity, which describes itself as a "grassroots collective dedicated to revolutionary organizing [and] building community power in Little Tokyo,"
...sounds like yet another tentacle of the Antifa/Black Bloc anarcho-communist syndicate that is the fighting arm of the Democratic Party...
was among those who shared the location of the screening ahead of time.

"So anyways, it would be a shame if folks happened to be congregating at the below address this Wednesday evening (11/8)," read a November 6 post on X, formerly Twitter. The post included the address of the venue.

The account, which has expressed support for Palestinians, later called for the screening to be canceled, amid claims that "Zionists are now making threats of gun violence on pro-Palestine protestors."

"We must demand that the @musoftolerance & @GalGadot cancel this event for EVERYONE'S safety," read the November 7 post. "FLOOD THEIR LINES!!"

The Los Angeles Times reported that there were Jews among those protesting against the screening of Bearing Witness.
They love to trumpet it — I have a niece who posted on Facebook about her support, as a Jew, of Palestine. It’s true that her father is Jewish. But he died when she was a toddler, and her mother is Catholic. Which is fine, but she has never been involved Jewishly other than a few months working as a secretary for the local Jewish community center, so her only connection is DNA.
According to the publication, protests were initially largely peaceful before the mass brawl broke out.
That definitely sounds like Antifa.

Film showing Hamas atrocities screened 70 times around world — report

[IsraelTimes] Israel authorities have screened a 47-minute compilation showing some of the worst atrocities committed on October 7 some 70 times in 30 countries, the Ynet news site reports.

Four screenings have been arranged for New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

editorial staff alone, including in foreign bureaus, according to the report, as well as two for White House staff. Among those to see the film are the heads of the CIA and MI5, as well as leaders of other Western spy agencies. Some 1,000 people have viewed it so far, it reports.

The film, largely made of bodycam footage recovered from dead terrorists, is being used as part of Israel’s public relations push to help explain its harsh response 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...
and the necessity of eliminating the Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
terror group.

Amid reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is mulling releasing the film to the public, some families have come out against the plan, according to Ynet. Among them is Sabine Taasa, whose husband is seen on the film jumping on a grenade to save his kids. Gil Taasa was killed, along with their son Or.

"I don’t want it to come out. I’ll never agree to it," she tells the news site. "I commemorate their lives, not their deaths."

#3  I wish to thank the Pro-Hamas terrorist protesters for 2 things.

* Their actions have drawn International attention to the Film. So now MILLIONS will see Hamas' Terrorist deeds.

* The Pro-Terrorist protesters actions have likely eliminated any doubt that the film accurately depicts Hamas Evil Inhumane Atrocities.

BTW:
Any person arrested for violent actions in support of this KNOWN terrorist group, should be placed on a Terrorist Watch list.

India-Pakistan
Security forces gun down two terrorists in IBO near Pak-Afghan border
[GEO.TV] Security forces killed two Lions of Islam during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) near the Pakistain-Afghanistan border
...also known as Pashtunistan, home of ignorance, poverty, and automatic weapons...
in the Chitral district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the military’s media wing said on Wednesday.

In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that security forces conducted the IBO in Ursoon near the border area in Chitral district on the night of 7-8 November.

"During [the] conduct of the operation, intense fire exchange took place between own troops and terrorists, resultantly two Lions of Islam were sent to hell, while four Lions of Islam got seriously injured," the statement added.

It said sanitisation of the surrounding areas is being carried out to neutralise any other terrorist found in the area.

"Locals of the area appreciated the operation by security forces of Pakistain, who remain determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country."

The latest IBO came two days after Pakistain Army's Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Hassan Haider and three other soldiers were martyred in an exchange of fire with the Lions of Islam during the operation in Khyber District of KP, the ISPR had said.

The security forces led by Lt-Col Haider conducted the IBO in the general area of Tirah in Khyber District and killed three Lions of Islam and injured three others, it added.

#2  Bbc also refuses to call hamas “terrorists” even though this is the factual term for them
It is not a case of “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter” when they upload proud videos of themselves deliberately killing children and raping then murdering women, or hacking at the heads of thai guestworkers screaming allahu akbar.
And doing it for the political purpose of provoking a reaction to further their political goal
That is the definition of terrorism

Inside Israel's tunnel war in Gaza: The terrifying reality of clearing Hamas's 'city beneath a city' that stretches for miles - as witnessed by The Mail's NICK CRAVEN who joined IDF soldiers who found at least 17 subterranean fortifications
MailOnline was invited to join IDF forces taking the fight to Hamas

The second the foot-thick steel door of the armoured personnel carrier hissed open, throwing bright shards of light into a dust-filled cabin, the sounds of intense battle were all around us.

MailOnline was exclusively invited to join IDF forces taking the fight to Hamas after the murderous events of October 7 when 1,400 Israelis and other nationals were slaughtered by the terrorists and more than 240 men, women and children taken hostage.

The journey began with multiple checkpoints manned by Israeli troops who couldn't believe I and a small group of other journalists were heading into war-torn Gaza by choice.

The IDF press cards we handed them didn't do much to change their mind that here were some crazy people.

Khaki-covered heads were still shaking in disbelief in the early morning sun as the large steel gates began to move.
Lots more description, quotes from the soldiers, almost all of whom are reservists stepping away from daily life to take care of this problem, photos and maps and diagrams of the tunnel system thus far discovered.

1. Send down some sleeping gas, then get the hostages out.
2. Pump the place with colored gas to find any exits and seal them up.
3. Seal all entrances and let Hamas wake up knowing they are buried alive like rats.

AP, CNN, NY Times, and Reuters had journalists embedded with Hamas terrorists on October 7th massacre
Photos with bylines at article link. Article link is an archive site as prime site is under massive DOS and hacking attack.



[HonestReporting] On October 7, Hamas terrorists were not the only ones who documented the war crimes they had committed during their deadly rampage across southern Israel. Some of their atrocities were captured by Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies whose early morning presence at the breached border area raises serious ethical questions.

What were they doing there so early on what would ordinarily have been a quiet Saturday morning? Was it coordinated with Hamas? Did the respectable wire services, which published their photos, approve of their presence inside enemy territory, together with the terrorist infiltrators? Did the photojournalists who freelance for other media, like CNN and The New York Times, notify these outlets? Judging from the pictures of lynching, kidnapping and storming of an Israeli kibbutz, it seems like the border has been breached not only physically, but also journalistically.

AP: PHOTOJOURNALISTS OR INFILTRATORS?
Four names appear on AP’s photo credits from the Israel-Gaza border area on October 7: Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali.

Eslaiah, a freelancer who also works for CNN, crossed into Israel, took photos of a burning Israeli tank, and then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza.

HonestReporting has obtained screenshots of Eslaiah’s now-removed tweets on X in which he documented himself standing in front of the Israeli tank. He did not wear a press vest or a helmet, and the Arabic caption of his tweet read: “Live from inside the Gaza Strip settlements.”

Masoud, who also works for The New York Times, was there as well — just in time to set foot in Israeli territory and take more tank pictures.

Ali Mahmud and Hatem Ali were positioned to get pictures of the horrific abductions of Israelis into Gaza.

Mahmud captured the pickup truck carrying the body of German-Israeli Shani Louk and Ali got several shots of abductees being kidnapped into the Strip.

Interestingly, the names of the photographers, which appear on other sources, have been removed from some of the photos on AP’s database. Perhaps someone at the agency realized it posed serious questions regarding their journalistic ethics.

REUTERS: LYNCHING AS “IMAGE OF THE DAY”
Reuters has published pictures from two photojournalists who also happened to be at the border just in time for Hamas’ infiltration: Mohammed Fayq Abu Mostafa and Yasser Qudih.

They both took pictures of a burning Israeli tank on the Israeli side of the border, but Abu Mustafa went further: He took photos of a lynch mob brutalizing the body of an Israeli soldier who was dragged out of the tank.

Reuters was kind enough to add a graphic warning to the photo caption, but it didn’t prevent editors from shamelessly labeling it as one of the “Images of the Day” on their editorial database.

Let’s be clear: News agencies may claim that these people were just doing their job. Documenting war crimes, unfortunately, may be part of it. But it’s not that simple.

It is now obvious that Hamas had planned its October 7 attack on Israel for a very long time: its scale, its brutal aims and its massive documentation have been prepared for months, if not years. Everything was taken into account — the deployments, the timing, as well as the use of bodycams and mobile phone videos for sharing the atrocities.

Is it conceivable to assume that “journalists” just happened to appear early in the morning at the border without prior coordination with the terrorists? Or were they part of the plan?

Even if they didn’t know the exact details of what was going to happen, once it unfolded did they not realize they were breaching a border? And if so, did they notify the news agencies? Some sort of communication was undoubtedly necessary — before, after or during the attack — in order to get the photos published.

Either way, when international news agencies decide to pay for material that has been captured under such problematic circumstances, their standards may be questioned and their audience deserves to know about it. And if their people on the ground actively or passively collaborated with Hamas to get the shots, they should be called out to redefine the border between journalism and barbarism.

IDF says Hamas has lost control of northern Gaza; Bibi sez no ceasefire w/o all hostages
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

IDF Daily Recap

SOUTHERN ARENA:
The IDF continues with its combined aerial, ground and naval operations 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...
, with the goal of dismantling Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
. As IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, stated yesterday, the Israeli Air Force, Israeli Navy, Intelligence Directorate and ISA along with our forces who are currently operating within Gaza City, are applying a great deal of pressure on Hamas.

To date, the IDF struck over 14,000 terrorist targets, has destroyed over 100 terrorist tunnels, and has confiscated over 4,000 weapons, many from inside mosques, kindergartens, residential buildings and otehr civilian areas exploited by Hamas.

The IDF has focused on eliminating senior and tactical Hamas leadership. In one such example, the IDF and ISA eliminated Hamas’ Head of Weapons and Industries, Mohsen Abu Zina, yesterday. Abu Zina served as Hamas’ leading weapons developer and had expertise in the field of strategic weapons and rockets.

Overnight, IDF troops identified a terrorist cell planning to fire anti-tank missiles. The troops called in an aerial strike on the cell, eliminating several terrorists. IDF troops also directed an aircraft to a strike on a terrorist cell responsible for launching rockets toward Israel. Several bully boyz were eliminated in the strike.

NORTHERN ISRAEL
The IDF is continuing to be on high alert on the northern border and is responding to any attacks against Israel. On Wednesday afternoon, IDF soldiers struck a number of anti-tank missile launching posts belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

Two IDF soldiers were maimed when forces of Evil launched an anti-tank missile toward the area of Dovev. The IDF responded with artillery fire toward the origin of the launch.

Two rockets were launched towards Shtula and Yiftah in northern Israel. The IDF responded with tank and artillery fire toward the source of fire. No injuries were reported.

HUMANITARIAN ACTIVITY
The IDF is continuing to deliver Humanitarian aid to southern Gazoo
. In recent weeks, hundreds of trucks of aid including equipment, water, food and medicine have been delivered to Gaza. Yesterday, 96 trucks entered Gaza, including 5 with medical supplies, 31 with food, 8 with water, 19 with supplies for shelter and 23 more. In addition, the IDF opened another evacuation corridor today for civilians in northern Gaza to move south from 10:00-14:00. Some 50,000 Gazooks utilized the corridor to move south.
Note that Israeli soldiers are protecting Gaza civilians from Hamas.
OTHER ARENAS:
The hostages are carrying the IDF and are their motivation in order to do everything in their power to be successful.

The IDF has notified the families of the 349 IDF soldiers who have fallen in defense of the State of Israel. There have also been IDF injuries due to the past few weeks of fighting.

KEY LINKS:
The Military Intelligence Directorate revealed a conversation between a Gazan resident and a Hamas terrorist, which demonstrates Hamas’ exploitation of ambulances.



The Times of Israel adds:
Hagari updates the number of confirmed hostages in the Gaza Strip to 239, down from 240. He says the number is not final as the military investigates new information, including the identification of bodies of missing people.

Netanyahu dismisses ‘idle rumors’ about imminent ceasefire for hostage deal

"I want to put to the side all sorts of idle rumors that we are hearing from all sorts of directions, and repeat one clear thing: there will be no ceasefire without the release of our hostages."

40 Filipinos flee Gaza Strip through Rafah crossing with Egypt

[IsraelTimes] Dozens of Filipinos fled from the war-ravaged Gaza Strip into Egypt through the Rafah crossing after Filipino diplomats negotiated for their safe passage and Qatar mediated for the border to be opened, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says today.

The 40 Filipinos are traveling to the Egyptian capital of Cairo, where they plan to take flights back to the Philippines, Marcos says in a video message in Manila. Two Filipino doctors managed to leave the Gaza Strip into Egypt last week.

Most of at least 134 Filipinos in Gaza, many of whom are married to Palestinians, have sought help to leave the besieged territory and are waiting for an opportunity to leave, the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila says.

American nurse who left Gaza describes kids with burns, starvation in Strip

[IsraelTimes] Emily Callahan, an American nurse who was in Gaza with Doctors without Borders (MSF), describes the reality in southern Gaza before she managed to cross through Rafah into Egypt a week ago. She evacuated to Khan Younis, where she shared a shelter with 35,000 internally displaced in a single complex.

“There were children with just massive burns down their faces, down their necks, all over their limbs,” she tells CNN.
That’s because Hamas likes having human shields, whose protection they leave to the powerless UN.
Callahan says food and water were desperately low, and the MSF staff had to count calories by the end. “We would have either starved to death or run out of water” were it not for her local staff, she says.
Had Hamas not started the war, Gaza would not be besieged. They had a ceasefire and open border crossings on October 6th.
There were four toilets for the tens of thousands of Gazans, she adds.
Hamas prioritizes war tunnels over amenities for civilians. Say — how is the huge poo pond doing in the midst of all the excitements?
Callahan says that her personal safety was compromised, as angry locals accused her and her local staff of being Israelis or being traitors.
Yeah, well maleducated mobs be like that, dood.
“My heart is in Gaza,” she says, “it will stay in Gaza.”
But you didn’t want to stick around, care for the millions of suffering, and risk having your heart cut out and paraded through the joyous crowds? Hypocrite.
I think she means she has no heart

Israeli investigators collect chilling survivor testimony of Hamas rapes, etc, will try 200 Hamasniks captured since 10/7 Shabbat Massacre
[NYPOST] Israel's national police have uncovered chilling testimony from a young woman who survived Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
' music festival massacre detailing incidents of rape and sexual assault the Jerusalem Post reports.

"As I am hiding, I see in the corner of my eyes that [a terrorist] is raping her," the victim told Sherlocks from Israel's Lahav 433 National Crime Unit.

"I saw the Paleostinians bending her down, raping her and simply passing her on to the next. She was alive when they raped her. She was on her feet and bleeding from her back. He pulled her hair. He shot her in the head while raping her, didn't even lift his pants. They cut her breast and played with it. They just carried around someone's head as if showing strength, walked with it like a bag," the victim recounted in horrifying detail.

In addition to interviewing survivors, police Sherlocks have compiled evidence of rapes and sexual assaults from captured bandidos turbans along with interviews with emergency responders.

Police, prosecutors gathering evidence to charge terrorists involved in Oct. 7 massacre

[IsraelTimes] The attorney general and state attorney are working with police, the military and the Shin Bet to formally investigate the Hamas assault on southern Israel on October 7 with an aim of charging and trying those involved.

“Our goal is to investigate and initiate legal proceedings against those who perpetrated, planned and otherwise took part in these heinous acts – wherever they are,” they say in a statement.

The statement says Israel will punish the Hamas terrorists responsible with “the utmost severity, commensurate with their crimes.”

Police are working to collect evidence from towns across the south as attorneys for the Justice Ministry decide how best to proceed with the investigation.

Israel has said it is holding about 200 Hamas terrorists arrested on October 7 and in the days afterward. It has released some interrogation videos in which the prisoners describe their orders and activities during the murderous rampage.

Hebrew media reports say that investigators have already gathered some 700 testimonies from survivors of the attacks, including reports of rape.

Israel eliminates 130 Hamas tunnels in Gaza as airstrike kills weapons maker

Strip — as air strikes reportedly took out a key weapon maker for the terror organization.

More than 130 tunnel shafts underneath Gaza were blown up by combat engineers who are "destroying the enemy’s weapons and are locating, exposing and detonating tunnel shafts," the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch clutched at his other leg......
above-ground bombardments killed Hamas weapons maker Mahsein Abu Zina, the Israeli military said.

IDF troops also discovered a structure with multiple car batteries sitting next to several tunnel entrances which they believe was used to power the tunnel’s air filtration systems.

Israeli soldiers also captured a Hamas training camp in northern Gaza, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari wrote on X.

Within the camp were several tunnel entrances, all of which were destroyed.

Troops also discovered a staging group, where Hamas operatives were planning out an attack.

One shot of a tunnel located next to a school run by the UNRWA, the refugee organization that deals specifically with Paleostinians, features a dark, black mushroom cloud of smoke rising into the air.

Troops from the IDF’s 551st Brigade demolished the tunnel, which was located in northern Gaza.

The IDF’s mission to eliminate all of Hamas’ tunnels has been met with heavy resistance from Hamas fighters, with Israeli officials saying at least 33 Israeli soldiers have been killed.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch clutched at his other leg......

are ongoing as officials work to secure the release of 10 to 15 hostages held captive by Hamas in exchange for a 48-hour humanitarian pause in Gaza.

Qatar, where numerous Hamas leaders are based, has been leading mediation efforts since the terror group launched its surprise incursion on Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,400 people, mainly civilians as well as hundreds of young people attending an outdoor music festival.

Ever since, Israel has heightened its assault on Gaza, where 10,569 people have now been killed, of which 40% were children, according to Paleostinian officials.

Unless you get rid of Islam then you will never get rid of it

Either israel is destroyed
Or islam is removed from gaza
Islam cannot be reformed, either. Many tried.

Fair enough. Mr. Wife was taught Arabic by a West Banker at Berlitz, which was fine in Saudi Arabia, but while the written language is the same across the Arab world, in Morocco he had to resort to his high school French to be understood.

Exactly like Chinese in China, Elmaper McGurque1612. Except instead of pictograms, Arabic uses letters to make up their words, but reading it aloud is not related to sounding out the letters. It’s no wonder so many are illiterate!

#7  Anon1 has a point in that many attempts have been made, in the past 1000 years, to defang Islam.

However, that was then and this is now. Back in March 2023 the Islamic Fatwah Council issued an anti Hamas Fatwah. Before that national councils in Saudi Arabia and the Emirates issued anti Muslim Brotherhood statements (not quite Fatwahs). So there is some momentum in the de fanging direction.

IMO, once Islam loses its fangs, it pretty much loses a lot of its power and becomes, maybe not a nothingburger but close to it.

And once it loses its fangs, Muslims can critically exam its scriptures (plenty of translations exist not just of the Quran but the Haditha, the Sunna and other works) and see the major problems (there are many of these).

[RIA] In Deir ez-Zor, clashes began between American forces and the Kurdish formations of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on the one hand, and the Syrian army and its allies on the other, Al Mayadeen reported, citing a source .

“There are violent clashes between American forces and the SDF on the one hand and the Syrian army and its allies on the other, using various types of medium-caliber weapons, heavy artillery weapons and missiles,” the channel’s source said.

The source also added that the US and Kurdish forces are fighting from the east of the Euphrates, and the Syrian army and its allies are fighting from the west.

Damascus has repeatedly called the presence of the US military on its territory an occupation and state piracy for the purpose of blatant theft of resources.

Israeli army hit Hezbollah targets in Lebanon
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Israeli military carried out new airstrikes on military targets of the Shiite organization Hezbollah in Lebanon, the IDF press service reported.

“In response to the launches carried out over the past day in the direction of Israel, IDF fighters some time ago struck the terror infrastructure in Lebanon,” the IDF noted.

The strikes, according to the army, hit military structures and posts in which the “terrorists” operated, as well as some technical means used to direct attacks against Israel.

The Israeli military also hit an armed group in Lebanon operating in the area of ​​the Israeli border settlement of Biranit.

As Regnum reported , Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously warned Hezbollah against making a fatal mistake after the Lebanese movement decides to start a full-scale war in the Middle East. The politician assured that Israel would react decisively to any attack from Lebanon, recalling the destruction of many Hezbollah targets and fighters during the exchange of blows.

According to Reuters, militants from the Lebanese Hezbollah party attacked Israel on November 4 with a powerful new missile that has never been used before. The missile hit an Israeli position on the other side of the border from the villages of Aita al-Shaab and Rmeish.

US hits weapons depot in Syria after Iran proxies down drone off Yemen
[NY Post] Next time, arm the drone
US warplanes struck a weapons storage facility used by Iran and its proxies in eastern Syria shortly after Tehran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone.

In a statement, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the strike was in response to more than three dozen attacks on American military sites across Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17.

Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Sare’e announced the downing of the highly advanced, roughly 5,000-pound drone in a post to X on Wednesday afternoon, alleging that the US craft was “carrying out hostile, monitoring, and spying operations in the Yemeni territorial waters along with the US military support to the Israeli entity.”

“The drone was shot down by an appropriate weapon,” he claimed. “The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm its legitimate right to defend the country and confront all hostile threats.”

A senior US defense official told The Post the drone was flying through international airspace and over international waters when it was shot down.

The exact location of the downing was not immediately available Wednesday night.

The Houthis took over Yemen’s capital from the Western-recognized government in 2014 and had seized much of the north of the country by 2016. The political-military group is strongly supported by Iran and its Lebanon-based terror group Hezbollah, according to the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars think tank in Washington.

“Hostile acts won’t deter the Yemeni armed forces from continuing to conduct military operations against Israeli entity in a solidarity to the opperession [sic] of Palestinian nation,” Sare’e added on X. “The victory comes only from Allah.”

MQ-9s are larger, heavier and more capable aircraft than the MQ-1 Predator drone. They are primarily used to collect intelligence, but can also carry weapons to conduct strikes against enemy targets.

The Biden administration has vowed not to get in direct combat on Israel’s behalf, but US forces remain in the region on a counter-ISIS mission, while the Pentagon dispatched two aircraft carrier strike groups to the eastern Mediterranean following Hamas’ savage Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel that killed more than 1,400 people — including at least 33 Americans.

Wednesday’s drone downing took place five days after the Pentagon admitted that US forces were flying unarmed drones over the Gaza Strip to aid the Israelis in hostage recovery efforts.
