[FoxNews] The Tucson Sector saw over 17,000 encounters in a week, a new record.
A remote part of the Arizona border is being overrun by a massive surge of mainly adult male migrants from across the globe, including countries in Africa and the Middle East -- just as the state's Tucson Sector has seen record numbers of crossings in recent days.
Fox News was on the ground in Lukeville, Arizona, where Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have been forced to close the local port of entry due to the surge in illegal entries. Fox footage showed that, as of Tuesday morning, hundreds of single military-age men camped out against the border wall waiting to be processed into the U.S, and not a single woman or child among them.
Of those camped out, there were a large number of Africans from countries Senegal, Guinea, Mauritania, Egypt and elsewhere waiting to be processed and potentially released into the U.S. Others were from the Middle East and Asia.
One man told Fox that he paid $10,000 to a smuggler to travel from Mauritania via Colombia, while a man from Guinea said he was planning to head to New York City if he was released into the U.S.
The Tucson Sector saw nearly 3,000 encounters in a single day and has seen 17,500 encounters in a single week, the highest weekly total ever recorded.
Meanwhile, Fox cameras caught a moment when migrants exploited gaps in the border wall -- which were being repaired by federal contractors -- and rushed through the gap and into the United States before it could be fixed.
The situation has sparked outrage from local lawmakers. Rep. Juan Ciscomani , R-Ariz., last week called for the deployment of the Arizona National Guard to the border, urging Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to recommend such action to the Pentagon.
"Tucson Sector is leading in encounters and our agents and officers are overrun and undermanned," Ciscomani says in a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. "The situation is far past a breaking point and those on the frontlines of this crisis are in need of immediate support."
CBP has been surging resources and personnel to the Tucson Sector -- which typically sees less traffic than other sectors like the Rio Grande Valley-- and has been focusing on transporting migrants laterally to other parts of the border combined with a greater use of expedited removal as an alternative to them being released into the U.S.
The Biden administration has promised to increase the use of the expedited removal authority -- and has requested resources to do so as part of its $14 billion supplemental request to Congress for border operations, including staffing and non-custodial housing. Negotiations are ongoing in Congress over that supplemental, with Republicans wanting to see stricter asylum standards and limits on the administration’s use of humanitarian parole. However, some Senate Democrats have said that they would only agree to such policy changes if they were tied to an amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S.
The Biden administration has said it is dealing with a Hemisphere-wide crisis and needs Congress to act to provide more funding for the border processes, while since 2021 it has been calling on Republicans to support a comprehensive immigration bill it unveiled on day one of the administration. That too would include a sweeping amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.
Republicans have rejected that legislation, and instead introduced a bill of their own which would increase border security funding while increasing limits on asylum and the use of humanitarian parole. Republicans have blamed the ongoing crisis on the policies of the administration -- including its rollback of Trump-era policies.
Similarly, the Border Patrol union has repeatedly blamed the administration, putting the surge in Lukeville down to an "open invitation" by the Biden administration.
[AFRICANEWS] The military regime resulting from the July coup in Niger announced Monday that it was ending two European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... (EU) security and defence missions in the country, as it welcomed a Russian delegation to Niamey.
Since the overthrow of elected president Mohammed Bazoum, the military in power has gradually severed ties with the fallen regime's Western partners. After having notably obtained the departure of French forces, ongoing until the end of December, they are looking for new allies and have notably moved closer to Russia.
The Nigerien Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced in a blurb the denunciation of the agreement entered into by the State of Niger with the European Union relating to the European civilian mission "EUCAP Sahel Niger", active since 2012.
This mission is based in Niamey and says it has 120 Europeans and supports "internal security forces, the Nigerien authorities as well as non-governmental actors".
The ministry also declared the "withdrawal by the State of Niger of the consent granted for the deployment of an EU military partnership mission" in Niger named "EUMPM".
This mission was launched in February "at the request of the Nigerien authorities", to "support the country in its fight against armed terrorist groups", according to the EU Council website. Niger is plagued by jihadist violence in the west and southeast of the country.
The Nigerien government adds that it "decides to withdraw the privileges and immunities granted" within the framework of this mission, without details.

"We'll rape our own women, thank you very much."
[AFRICANEWS] An army dronezap accidentally hit a village in northwestern Nigeria killing dozens of civilians celebrating a Moslem festival, local authorities, the military and residents said on Monday.
Nigeria's armed forces often rely on air strikes in their battle against so-called bandit militias in the northwest and northeast of the country where jihadists have been waging a 14-year conflict.
The army did not provide details or a corpse count for the strike late Sunday in Tudun Biri village, Kaduna State, but residents said dozens were killed and maimed.
Local officials also reported fatalities.
"Moslem faithful observing Maulud were mistakenly killed and many others injured following a military drone attack targeting hard boyz and bandidos," Kaduna State governor Uba Sani said, ordering an investigation.
"We buried 85 people that were killed in the kaboom," said resident Idris Dahiru, whose relatives were among the dead.
He said more than 60 injured people were being treated in hospital.
"I was inside the house when the first bomb was dropped... We rushed to the scene to help those affected and then a second bomb was dropped," he added.
"My aunt, my brother's wife and her six children, wives of my four brothers were among the dead. My elder brother's family are all dead, except his infant child who survived."

I expect wide spread international condemnation!
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Kaduna State incident is one of country's deadliest military bombing mishaps.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday ordered an investigation after the army acknowledged one of its drones aimed at armed groups had accidently struck the Tudun Biri village on Sunday as residents were celebrating a Muslim festival.
The army did not give any casualty figures, but local residents had said 85 people, many of them women and children, had been killed.
'The Northwest Zonal Office has received details from the local authorities that 85 dead bodies have so far been buried while search is still ongoing,' National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said in a statement.
NEMA said another 66 people were being treated at hospital, but emergency officials were still negotiating with community leaders to calm tensions to be able reach the village.
Nigeria's armed forces often rely on air strikes in their battle against bandit militias in the northwest and northeast of the country, where jihadists have been fighting for more than a decade.
The army had said its drone was a routine mission that 'inadvertently affected members of the community'.
Many of the victims were women, children and elderly who had been celebrating the Muslim festival of Maulud.
'I was inside the house when the first bomb was dropped... We rushed to the scene to help those affected and then a second bomb was dropped,' local resident Idris Dahiru told AFP.
Militia gangs have long terrorised parts of northwest Nigeria, operating from bases deep in forests and raiding villages to loot and kidnap residents for ransom.
In the northeast, jihadists have been pushed back from the territory they held at the height of the conflict, though they continue to fight on in rural areas.
More than 40,000 people have been killed and two million displaced since 2009 in that conflict.

[KavkazUzel] The shelling of a police car near the village of Yandare was preceded by a shootout at the end of November in Sunzha, where one of the security forces was wounded.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on the night of December 5, four shots were fired on the Caucasus highway at a police officer's car near the village of Yandare. The investigation reported on the investigation of a criminal case under the article of encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer.
The attack on a security officer near the village of Yandare, according to the "Caucasian Knot" , became the second armed incident in the last month after a similar incident in Sunzha.
The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that on November 22, in Sunzha, security forces shot dead an alleged accomplice of "wanted members of a bandit group," the FSB Directorate for Ingushetia reported today. According to the department, a man named Ganiev, during an attempt to arrest him, opened fire at the security forces with a firearm and was killed by return fire.
One of the security forces was injured. Sources said that the man killed in a shootout with security forces in Sunzha was suspected of aiding Amirkhan Gurazhev and Adam Ozdoev, who are wanted after a series of armed incidents in March and April.
On the evening of April 5, in Zyazikov-Yurt, during the counter-terrorism operation announced on April 3, security forces discovered a group of suspected militants. When trying to arrest them, they resisted and opened fire. Three police officers were killed and eight more security forces were injured. The participants in the shootout with the security forces managed to escape.
The losses of security forces during the battle in Zyazikov-Yurt became the largest number of casualties per day among security forces in Ingushetia since August 2012, the Caucasian Knot calculated.
The shootout in Zyazikov-Yurt was one of a series of armed incidents following an attack on a traffic police post on the border of Ingushetia and North Ossetia on March 28. After this attack, six residents of Ingushetia were put on the wanted list. Later, two of them (Ramazan Eldiev and Movsar Kottoev) were found dead. A counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced, but those wanted twice managed to escape from the security forces after shootouts - on April 3 in Malgobek and on April 5 in Zyazikov-Yurt.
On April 7, one of the four wanted men (Amir Bokov) surrendered to the police, the next day it became known that another one, Mikail Moshkhoev, had been detained. Amirkhan Gurazhev and Adam Ozdoev remained wanted. In July, security forces increased the reward for information about Gurazhev and Ozdoev to 5 million rubles.

Paleo Symp heckler’s veto is just a specific case out of the larger set of leftwing hecklers’ vetoes. As is the surrender to them.
[IsraelTimes] The White House blasts as "antisemitic" a pro-Paleostinian rally held over the weekend outside a kosher restaurant in Philadelphia.
"Goldie, Goldie, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide," the crowd of dozens was filmed chanting yesteday outside the Rittenhouse Square branch of Goldie, which was founded by Israeli-American celebrity chef Michael Solomonov.
"It is antisemitic and completely unjustifiable to target restaurants that serve Israeli food over disagreements with Israeli policy, as Governor Shapiro has underlined," White House spokesperson Andrew Bates says in a statement, referring to a similar condemnation from Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro. The Talking Mop had nothing to say?
"This behavior reveals the kind of cruel and senseless double standard that is a calling card of antisemitism," Bates says.
Shapiro, who is Jewish, called the crowd’s chant "a blatant act of antisemitism — not a peaceful protest."
"A restaurant was targeted and mobbed because its owner is Jewish and Israeli," Shapiro tweets. "This hate and bigotry is reminiscent of a dark time in history."
[GEO.TV] At least seven people including three children were maimed on Tuesday in a kaboom targeting police personnel took place on Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire... ’s Warsak Road, police and hospital officials said.
According to the police, the blast took place due to a kaboom of explosives.
The injured were shifted to the Lady Reading Hospital where two children are said to be at death's door. The ages of the children are between 7 to 10 years, the hospital’s spokesperson said.
SSP Operations Kashif Aftab Abbasi said the Machnigate Police Station’s mobile vehicle was on routine patrol when the bomb went kaboom!.
"As soon as the police mobile passed by, the blast occurred three seconds later. The bully boyz wanted to target the police vehicle," he said, speaking with Geo News.
The police official said no arrests have been made yet, but the involved network will be apprehended soon.
Abbasi added that the CCTV footage of the earth-shattering kaboom is being examined.
Speaking with Geo News, Superintendent Police Arshad Khan — who was present at the incident — said the blast took place around 9:10am and the explosives were planted at the roadside.
The explosives used in the blast weighed 4kg and were hidden in a cement block on the roadside, he said.
Khan added that the police have started a search operation in the surrounding areas. "The element of extortion is also being considered in the blast."
"It would be premature to say who was the target," SP Arshad Khan said speaking with journalists.
Following the earth-shattering kaboom, police and Rescue 1122 teams rushed to the site of the incident in the Babu Garhi area in Peshawar.
Rescue officials told Geo News that the glass of two vehicles and nearby buildings was broken due to the intensity of the earth-shattering kaboom.
Mayor Metropolitan Zubair Ali told journalists that the earth-shattering kaboom near a school was an attempt to disturb peace and order.
"The explosion near educational institutions is unfortunate."
[GEO.TV] A soldier lost his life in a shootout with hard boyz on Tuesday in South Wazoo district’s Sararogha area, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
In a statement, the military’s media wing said when the exchange of fire between the soldiers and hard boyz took place, the troops "effectively engaged the terrorists' location".
As a result of the firing, the soldier who was martyred was identified as sepoy Ahmed Ali, 26, a resident of the Charsadda district. The military’s media wing mentioned that the soldier fought "gallantly".
In response, the military has launched a sanitisation operation "to eliminate any hard boyz found in the area".
"Security forces of Pakistain are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve," the statement added.
Terror activities are on the rise in the country, with the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... Pakistain (TTP) and other banned outfits attempting to rage war against security forces and civilians as well as challenging the writ of the state.
[DM] Images have emerged appearing to show Israeli forces preparing to flood the labyrinth of tunnels used by Hamas under the Gaza Strip with sea water.
Israel is said to have completed installing at least five pumps about a mile north of the Al-Shati refugee camp that could move thousands of cubic metres of water per hour - meaning they could flood the 300-mile network of tunnels within weeks.
Their plan would be to drive out the terrorists from the tunnels and make them inoperable by flooding the system with seawater from the Mediterranean Sea.
And now, images released by the IDF appear to show scores of Israeli soldiers setting up a series of black pipes on the sandy beaches of Gaza. Video shared by Israeli media also appears to show IDF soldiers working on the pipes while underground.
It emerged on Monday that Israel has assembled a system of large pumps it could use to flood Hamas's vast network of tunnels under the Gaza Strip with sea water, according to US officials.
The tactic would enable Israel to destroy the tunnels and kill any Hamas terrorists hiding within them, the officials told the Wall Street Journal.
It was not clear whether Israel would consider using the pumps before all the Israeli hostages captured by Hamas terrorists on October 7 as any move to flood the tunnels would prove fatal for the captives.

I don't think there is any use or reason for this tunnel except to conduct urban guerrilla warfare. So there cannot be any problem with destroying them.

Kinda like salting the earth, though. Maybe they should flood it with gasoline instead.

How will the use of salt water to flood tunnels affect later use of land for farms?
Mostly the tunnels are deeper than plant roots would go, I imagine, irish rage boy, and the soil is very sandy, so rain would quickly wash surface salts deeper. And over-pumping is already making the groundwater salty, so flushing the tunnels will just accelerate the results of carrying the self-governing Palestinian population.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] They could be another young couple heading out for the evening. Visual titillation for the symbol challenged.
But the assault rifle slung around the shoulders of this young woman helps lay bare the grim everyday reality faced by Israelis.
The pair were seen walking hand-in-hand through Jerusalem on Monday, amid heightened tensions in the city.
Prior to Hamas's brutal massacre on October 7, Israel had strict gun laws, permitting licences only to people who could prove they needed extra security.
Applications previously took months to process but can now be approved within days of filling out an online form.
Gun shops and shooting ranges in Israel have since been inundated with civilians looking to buy firearms to protect their families.
Less than a month after Hamas's attacks there had been 150,000 applications for gun licences, compared to just 42 in the same period, last year.
Israel's police minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has previously described gun ownership as a precaution against internal unrest between Jews and Israel's Arab minority.
In a televised speech after the attacks, Israel's president Benjamin Netanyahu said the government would be 'encouraging civilians and helping civilians to arm themselves for their self-defense'.

Following's not criticism, just an observation or two from a reader who always finds NMBS's posts interesting and informative.
1. For months my lousy browser's been displaying some (possibly all) of NMBS's posted URL's as "unclickable" text colored like clickable links. Haven't mentioned it because I'm a "turn everything off until stuff breaks" idiot, but lately I've noticed others sharing the experience. Haven't opened a newsreader in umpteen years, but... [cold live-ish finger reflexively stabs out at erstwhile "check headers" key to see if NMBS might be an Apple person].
2. Searching YT via popular scraper/dl-er for v= string yields expected clip.
3. Searching Google via Brave for "Chortlin' Thurston singers" yields several versions and edits of clip.

[IsraelTimes] Through analyzing satellite imagery, NY Times finds rocket impact on Sdot Micha Airbase caused fire to spread near facilities where sensitive weapons are believed to be stored.
Spotting for the other side. Still, one rocket out of thousands, and it only harmed the landscape — Hamas isn’t going to learn much from that.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] At least five Paleostinian young men were killed by Israeli occupation forces during violent mostly peaceful raids across the occupied West Bank amid the regime’s genocidal war on the besieged 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... Strip.
According to the Paleostinian Information Center, citing the Paleostinian Health Ministry, the five men bit the dust in separate attacks by the regime’s forces on Monday.
The ministry said two Paleostinians were killed after Israeli forces stormed the town of Sa’ir, northeast of the West Bank city of al-Khalil, also known as Hebron, opening fire on the town’s residents who responded by throwing firecrackers and rocks at the regime’s troops.
The victims were identified as 23-year-old Anas Ismail al-Faroukh and 22-year-old Muhammad Saadi al-Faroukh.
Earlier on Monday, and in the West Bank’s northwestern city of Qalqilyah, Israeli troops raided Paleostinian civilians, killing two more young men in the ensuing confrontations.
The Paleostinian Health Ministry said the victims’ bodies were then seized by Israeli forces.
The fifth Paleostinian was killed during an attack by the regime’s forces on a refugee camp in the town of Qalandiya in central West Bank, while 18 others were maimed. He was identified as 23-year-old Ali Ibrahim Alqam, who was shot in the heart during the raid.
According to the Health Ministry, the new fatalities raise Paleostinians’ corpse count in the West Bank since the beginning of this year to 465, including 257 people who have bit the dust since October 7.

[NAHARNET] A Lebanese soldier was killed Tuesday and three others were maimed by Israeli shelling that targeted their position on the al-Awayda Hill in the southern town of Odaisseh, as Hezbollah and Israel traded cross-border fire.
"An army military position in the Odaisseh area was bombarded by the Israeli enemy, leaving one soldier martyred and three others injured," the Lebanese army said in a statement.
The soldier's death by Israeli fire is the first such death since cross-border hostilities began in October. The cross-border exchanges have killed 109 people 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? 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... , at least 77 of them Hezbollah fighters and 14 civilians.
On Tuesday, Hezbollah targeted several Israeli posts including al-Assi post and groups of soldiers in al-Taihat and Khallet Warde. The group also targeted Bayyad Blida, Dhaira, Jal al-Alam, and the Zebdine post in the occupied Shebaa farms.
Hezbollah said all targets were direct hits and inflicted casualties. The group later announced that it attacked the Metulla Israeli post with an attack drone as Israeli reports said several rockets landed in the Kiryat Shmona settlement.
The Israeli army for its part bombed several border towns in south Lebanon including Mays al-Jabal, Blida, Houla, Mhaibib, Aitaroun, Aita al-Shaab, al-Naqoura, Ramia, Tayr Harfa, Alma al-Shaab, Kfarkela and al-Jebbayn.
Since the Israel-Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... war began on October 7, the frontier between Lebanon and Israel has seen intensifying exchanges of fire, mainly between Israel and Hezbollah, but also Paleostinian groups, raising fears of a broader conflagration.
A week-long cease-fire that ended Friday brought a temporary halt to the daily exchanges of fire but festivities renewed in south Lebanon after the truce between Israel and Hamas ended.
More than 110 people have been killed on the Lebanese side, mostly Hezbollah fighters and more than a dozen civilians, according to an AFP tally, since fighting began in October.

[Regnum] The Israel Defense Forces announced an airstrike against launch posts, infrastructure and the military complex of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement.
The IDF explained that this was a retaliatory strike for the December 4 launches from Lebanon towards Israel.
“Israeli Air Force fighters struck in the direction of the Zarit area in northern Israel. To eliminate the threat, the IDF struck several more places in Lebanon,” the Defense Army reported on its Telegram channel.
As Regnum reported, the Israelis began an invasion of the southern part of the Gaza Strip. IDF tanks, armored personnel carriers and bulldozers advanced deep into the enclave near the city of Khan Yunis and reached the Salah ad-Din highway, the northern and southern parts.
