[AFRICANEWS] In the aftermath of jihadist violence in the Talataye region of north-east Mali, a group of displaced people has sought refuge in the town of Kidal, where they face the harsh reality of starting anew with minimal possessions. The displaced individuals, having fled the brutality of ISIS (ISIS), share their stories of loss and resilience.
Mahamad Almghtar Ag Lahsan, an internally displaced person, describes the devastating impact of ISIS on their lives: "ISIS broke us. They didn't leave us any livestock or household goods; they even took our blankets. They took away everything that was essential to our lives, and they killed many people."
Inawelane Ag Akli, another displaced person, expresses a longing for their own place, where they own and tend to their livestock, emphasizing the significant connection they have with their original homes: "We prefer our own place because we own and tend our livestock, and we have our whole lives there. As for this place, no one owns an animal or anything; we live solely on the mercy of God and the hospitality of the people of Kidal."
The displaced individuals have found shelter in a camp adjacent to the town of Kidal, where they have erected a few basic tents to call home. Their possessions are minimal, enough to survive in their new reality. The journey to Kidal was not easy, as many of them walked for several days through the unforgiving desert to reach a place of relative safety.
Mabrouk Ag Tawad, the coordinator of the humanitarian commission in Kidal, sheds light on the efforts being made to support the displaced individuals: "So we've undertaken a number of actions to help them settle in, and we've done a lot of advocacy to get humanitarian actors to step in and help them." Despite the challenges they face, there is a collective effort to provide assistance and support to those who have been displaced by the ongoing conflict.
The camp in Kidal serves as a temporary haven, where these individuals hope to find solace and support as they navigate the challenges of displacement and work towards rebuilding their futures.
[Sun-Sentinel] Spanish right-wing politician Alejandro Vidal-Quadras was recovering in a hospital Thursday after being shot in the face in broad daylight on a central Madrid street. Police were ruling out no hypotheses, including a possible link to the former European lawmaker’s ties with the Iranian opposition.
A police source close to the investigation told The Associated Press there was no evidence backing the Iranian link, but confirmed that Vidal-Quadras himself had raised that suspicion from his hospital bed and that investigators were looking into it as one of several possible motives.
In a sign that police were broadening the investigation to look into the Iranian angle, another official revealed that a provincial brigade that handles terrorism and extremism cases joined late on Thursday in the inquiries previously led by agents specialized in homicides.
Both officials spoke to AP under the condition of anonymity to protect the secrecy of the inquiries.
Vidal-Quadras, 78, was attacked at around 1:30 p.m. near his home in the Spanish capital and he was conscious when taken to a hospital by emergency crews.
There were no immediate arrests and police were checking on surveillance footage and witness accounts to identify the shooter, who had been seen wearing a black helmet. The suspect had fired one gunshot before fleeing on a motorbike driven by an accomplice.
A charred motorbike found later in the day in a suburban town on the outskirts of Madrid was being investigated, one of the officials said.
Four hours after the shooting, Madrid’s Gregorio Marañón hospital said the gunshot had fractured Vidal Quadras’ jawbone and that he would undergo surgery. It said the politician was in stable condition and his life was not in danger.
Vidal-Quadras was a member of Spain’s conservative Popular Party, its regional leader in Catalonia, and a European Parliament member before leaving after three decades when he fell out with then-Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
After he broke away, he helped found the far-right Vox party. He left Vox shortly after a failed attempt to win a European lawmaker seat in 2014.
As part of his political career, Vidal-Quadras has been aligned for decades with the Iranian opposition in exile, an involvement that was noticed by Tehran.
In January, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced it imposed sanctions on Vidal-Quadras along with others who had ties with the exiled opposition group known as the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, accusing them of “supporting terrorism and terrorist groups.”
The group, known as the MEK, began as a Marxist organization opposing the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. It claimed — and was suspected of — a series of attacks against U.S. officials in Iran in the 1970s, something the group now denies.
The MEK operates under a variety of names, including the National Council of Resistance of Iran and the People’s Mujahedeen Organization of Iran.
In mid-September, addressing a conference organized by the NCRI in Brussels, Vidal-Quadras criticized European Union officials and leaders for not being strong enough in their opposition to Iran and in their support for the exiled opposition.
The MEK also has paid former American and European officials to speak at their summits in the past.

[IsraelTimes] The head of UNRWA, the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees and their descendants, says 99 of his colleagues have been killed 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 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.

Speaking to a Gay Paree conference on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, UNRWA commissioner-general Phillip Lazzarini says this figure is "the highest number of UN aid workers killed in a conflict in such a short time."
Lazzarini says over 700,000 displaced Gazooks are now living in "degrading conditions in 150 UNRWA schools and buildings across the enclave."
"Our shelters are overcrowded, with little food, water or privacy," he says. "Children used to learn and laugh in this school. Today, they plead for a piece of bread and a sip of water."
"The appalling sanitary conditions represent a looming public health hazard," the UNRWA chief adds.
"Condemning the horrendous massacre committed by Hamas in Israel is the right thing to do. The UN has done so and continues to call for hostages to be released," he clarifies. "This cannot, however, justify a war that disregards international humanitarian law and promotes dehumanizing rhetoric."
Lazzarini calls for an immediate ceasefire, the funneling of significantly more aid into Gaza, more funds for the the cash-strapped UNRWA and for countries to figure out a plan for postwar Gaza that ensures equality for Israelis and Paleostinians.

The numbers were kept low due to the ridiculous Hamas policy of remote working.
"Mamoud, we need you to come into the office to sign some papers."
"OK. Uh, where is the office nowadays?"
"Well, some of it is over here, and some of it is over there. There is a big chunk where it used to be, but on the other side of the street."
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces releases long-awaited data on the activity of the military’s air defenses since the war began on October 7.
It also says that currently, Israel has the "largest deployment of air defense batteries ever."
The IDF says that since the beginning of the war, some 9,500 rockets and mortars, as well as dozens of drones, have been fired at Israel, mostly from 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.

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... Strip.
Some 900 rockets were launched from within civilian sites, including mosques, schools, hospitals and cultural centers. Around 12% of the rockets fell short inside the Gaza Strip, according to the IDF data.
Some 2,000 projectiles have been intercepted by the IDF’s air defense systems — the short-range Iron Dome, medium-range David’s Sling and Patriot, and long-range Arrow.
Many rockets landed in open areas, while some hit civilian sites, causing casualties. The IDF does not provide an interception rate, but the Iron Dome has previously been reported to have an estimated 95% success rate of downing rockets heading for populated areas.
During the first four hours of Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... ’s shock onslaught on southern Israel on October 7, some 3,000 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel, according to the IDF data. For comparison, during the entire 2014 Gaza War, which lasted 50 days, some 4,000 rockets were fired in total.
The IDF says that since the ground operation began, it has identified "a significant decrease" in the amount of rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.
It says that for the first time ever, all of Israel’s air defenses are active at the same time.
"The air defense array is deployed in the most extensive way ever, and carries out interceptions from Mount Dov in the north to the Red Sea in the south," the IDF says.
The IDF attributes the success of the array to "deep cooperation" with Israel’s defense industries, as well as the United States, the latter of which it says is "a force multiplier in this war."

[GEO.TV] Nine Paleostinians were killed and at least 15 others were maimed by Israeli forces in a raid on Jenin city and refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, the Paleostinian health ministry said on Thursday.

The war would continue until Hamas is toppled and hostages held in Gaza are freed, he said.
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirms that Israel has agreed to implement pauses in IDF operations in specific areas of northern 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... to allow Paleostinian civilians to evacuate.
"The fighting continues against the Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... terrorists, but in specific locations for a given period of a few hours... We want to facilitate a safe passage of civilians away from the zone of fighting, and we’re doing that," Netanyahu tells Fox News.
The premier continues to avoid using the "humanitarian pause" term being employed by the Biden administration, in an apparent effort to downplay a concession seen as less palatable to many Israelis, as long as Hamas continues to hold some 240 hostages. But a senior Israeli official who briefed The Times of Israel earlier today acknowledged that formalized humanitarian pauses are exactly what Jerusalem agreed to.
Netanyahu also reiterates that Israel will not agree to a more long-term ceasefire until the hostages are released.
The "tactical, localized" pauses that Israel agreed on Thursday to implement each day will build on the humanitarian corridor that the IDF began operating on Sunday to allow Gazooks to evacuate from northern to southern Gaza, away from the most intense areas of fighting, the senior Israeli official said, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... The new four-hour pauses will take place in a different northern Gaza neighborhood each day, with residents notified three hours ahead of time. They will be able to use this time to either evacuate to the south via the two humanitarian corridors that Israel has established or leave their homes in order to restock on food, medicine and other aid, the senior Israeli official said.
One news hound notes that IDF soldiers were seen calling out in Hebrew to people evacuating northern 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 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... via the humanitarian corridor today, apparently out of concern that hostages were being moved by their Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... captors.
Gallant says the IDF is employing unspecified methods to ensure Hamas fighters and Israeli hostages aren’t among the tens of thousands of people evacuating. "We take everything into account. First, we want all the Paleostinian [noncombatants] to leave Gaza City. That is important so that we have freedom of action [against Hamas]. We don’t want to harm them. Those who don’t head south are placing themselves in danger.
We have methods... to ensure that those who leave are those who are supposed to leave, and that we get our hands on all the rest."

It's good that they're looking for the Hamasniks fleeing. It's sort of inconceivable that, say, the Soviets would have halted the siege of Stalingrad for four hours everyday to let people (including the German army) escape.

[IsraelTimes] Israeli authorities have identified the remains of 843 civilians killed in the October 7 attacks on southern Israel, police say, with work ongoing to identify victims.
The number is nine more than an announcement on Monday.
In late October, police said 826 victims had been identified, with an estimated 150 victims remaining in 400 body bags at the Shura Camp, where a massive effort to identify the dead has been ongoing for a month.
Some of the remains at the camp are thought to belong to attackers.
Officials estimate around 1,000 non-combatants were killed in the Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... massacres, along with around 400 members of security forces.
According to Channel 12 news Tuesday, 25 people remain unaccounted for — neither confirmed dead nor kidnapped — including 15 foreigners, thought to be mainly Thai farmhands.
The Bangkok Post reports that seven bodies of Thai victims are set to be flown to Thailand today.
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says troops detained 37 wanted Paleostinians, including 10 Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... members, during overnight raids across the West Bank.
During a raid in the West Bank town of Birzeit, the IDF says troops seized Hamas paraphernalia in a storage unit near the local university, which was used by the Hamas student faction for parades.
Since October 7, the IDF says troops have arrested some 1,430 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 900 affiliated with Hamas.
According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 155 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed by Israeli forces, and in some cases settlers, since October 7

“On November 8, from 22:49 to 23:00, six tactical fighters F-16 of the Israeli Air Force from the airspace of Lebanon and the occupied Golan Heights carried out air strikes on the positions of the Armed Forces of the Syrian Arab Republic in the provinces of Damascus and Es-Suwayda,” he said.
And nothing in the Syrian armament was able to stop them, not even the fancy Russian -400 thingies. Oh well.
Kulit added that there were no casualties as a result of the attack.
As Regnum reported , on October 29, an IDF aircraft struck military infrastructure on Syrian territory in response to shelling from Syria, the Israel Defense Forces said.
During a telephone conversation with Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Miqdad, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov discussed the situation in the Middle East and Israeli attacks on Syria. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted the unacceptability of such attacks. Lavrov also pointed out the inadmissibility of the spread of armed escalation to the Syrian Arab Republic and other countries in the region.

[Regnum] The Israeli military attacked the infrastructure of the Lebanese group Hezbollah, the IDF press service reported.
It is noted that the attack was carried out in response to rocket launches towards Israel that occurred over the past 24 hours. The IDF attacked Hezbollah targets using artillery and Iron Sting guided mortar shells, the army said in an official statement.
The targets of the Israeli Air Force were complexes and infrastructure, observation posts and technological equipment of the group.
As Regnum reported , on November 9, Israel also carried out airstrikes on military targets of the Shiite organization Hezbollah in Lebanon. It is known about an attack on an armed group operating in the area of the Israeli border settlement of Biranit.
Deputy Assistant Chief of the Pentagon for the Middle East Dana Struhl said at a hearing in the US Congress that the US military fears that the Lebanese radical movement Hezbollah will have Russian air defense systems. According to her, this would be a “colossal escalation” of the escalating Palestinian-Israeli conflict and a threat to Israeli security.
Not if they’re the same air defense systems Syria has.
