Britain
UK university rabbi goes into hiding after death threats over wartime IDF service
[IsraelTimes] ‘Hundreds’ of menacing messages, phone calls targeting Rabbi Zecharia Deutsch for reserve duty drive him and family out of their home, as campus antisemitism flares post-October 7

The Jewish chaplain at the University of Leeds was forced into hiding with his family after receiving numerous death threats over his service as a reservist in the Israel Defense Forces, the UK’s Daily Mail reported Friday.

Rabbi Zecharia Deutsch, a rabbinical emissary serving as the Jewish chaplain of several British universities since 2021, returned to Israel to serve in the IDF during the war 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...
. Since resuming his chaplaincy in January, he has received multiple messages and phone calls threatening violence against him, his wife Nava, and their two children.

The threats, reported by the Daily Mail to be in the "hundreds", were graphic and profane, and led local police to transfer the Deutsch family to a safe location, amid a worrying rise in antisemitism in the United Kingdom, both on and off campus, following Israel’s war on Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
On Western university campuses, the war has sparked unprecedented anti-Zionist protests, which sometimes feature thinly veiled antisemitic rhetoric.
...and often completely unveiled Jew-hate. So there's that...
At the University of Leeds where Deutsch is chaplain, the Jewish campus Hillel House was defaced Friday with "Free Paleostine" graffitied on its walls.

The campaign against Rabbi Deutsch has been waged since at least November 2023, when a petition was circulated by Leeds students demanding the rabbi’s dismissal from the chaplaincy of their university, as well as those of Sheffield, York, Bradford and Leeds Beckett universities, for having "left the UK to participate in a foreign war with the Israeli army, even going as far as sharing videos on an open student WhatsApp group."

On Friday, students at Leeds University staged a protest in the city calling for Deutsch’s dismissal, which the Daily Mail reported was organized by the Paleostine Solidarity Campaign and Socialist Worker Student Society. A similar protest was held on campus in November.

The Friday protest came after the campaign against Deutsch was picked up by the Moslem Association of Britannia, a self-described "grassroots" organization shown by the London-based Jewish Chronicle to have ties to Hamas, which called the rabbi a "war criminal complicit in genocide."

Like other diaspora communities, British Jewry has faced rising levels of antisemitism during the current Gaza conflict, including recent attacks on a kosher supermarket and a group of Israelis putting up posters of hostages. A recent poll found "frightening" rates of antisemitic tropes among British youth.

Rabbi Deutsch and his wife Nava both trained for two years at Ohr Torah Stone’s Straus-Amiel Institute for rabbinical emissaries in Jerusalem. They previously worked with the Jewish community in Addis Ababa, Æthiopia.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
A court in Rostov-on-Don convicted a resident of Crimea for financing the Islamic State
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

The Southern District Military Court sentenced Crimean resident Murat Kadyrov to 11 years in a maximum security colony, finding him guilty of transferring eight thousand rubles to the Islamic State.

The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don convicted a Crimean resident accused of transferring money to the Islamic State.

A resident of Crimea, Murat Kadyrov, has been accused of committing crimes under Part 1 of Article 205.1 and Part 1.1 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (promoting terrorist activities), TASS reported on February 9, citing the court’s press service.

According to the investigation, Kadyrov corresponded with individuals from whom he learned the details for transferring money to the Islamic State*. After that, he transferred money twice - in June 2017 and in 2018, while being in Simferopol and Sevastopol. At the same time, he knew that he was financing the Islamic State* and its structural divisions. In total, he transferred 8.2 thousand rubles, writes RIA Novosti.

Kadyrov did not admit his guilt. The court sentenced him to 11 years in prison to be served in a maximum security colony.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" wrote that at the beginning of December 2023, the Southern District Military Court sentenced a resident of Neftekumsk, accused of involvement in the Islamic State, to five years and six months in prison.

Home Front: WoT
Jew-hating Palestinian migrant busted for pummeling NY homeowner, swiping pro-Israel flag: cops
[NYPost] A self-described Paleostinian migrant from northern Africa
...so not a Palestinian...
stole a pro-Israel flag from a Long Island porch — then pummeled the homeowner who tried to stop him in a wild caught-on-video attack, officials said.

Bechir Lehbeib, 26, allegedly stole the flag — which declared "In This Home We Stand with Israel — from Aleksandr Binyaminov’s porch, cops said.

Binyaminov, who said one of his wife’s relatives was killed in the Oct. 7 Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
terror attacks on Israel, was left bruised after the attack and blamed President Biden’s border policies for the clash.

The homeowner told The Post he was alerted by his Ring security system that someone was at his house and he looked at video of the front of his house to see the theft in progress.

"So I got dressed, came out. I confronted him," Binyaminov said. "I told him, ’Give me the flags,’ and he just started fighting with me and punching me in my face."

Binyaminov said he "didn’t think twice" about running after Lehbieb to retrieve the flag.

"I was a little hot and it meant something to us," he told The Post.

"He basically got me in a choke position, threw me on the floor and head butted me. He was saying, ’I’m from Paleostine. You’re killing Jews.’ That’s all he said," Binyaminov said.

The accused later allegedly ranted to to cops that he hated Israeli Jews and made other hateful statements, authorities told The Post.

He told police who arrested him, "If I see the flag of the people that killed my people, we will have a problem."

Lehbeib, who descibed himself as Paleostinian, entered the U.S.from Mexico in November, authorities said. Officials said they aren’t sure of his country of origin, but said they believe he migrated from somewhere in the northern part of Africa.

He is now facing hate crime charges of second degree assault and robbery and criminal mischief. He was arraigned on Monday in Nassau District Court and Lehbeid was detained on $50,000.

Binyaminov had a red bruise under his right eye from getting pummeled by Lehbeib while he lamented the migrant crisis in the US.

"This is happening because of open borders, and before letting people in we need to see their backgrounds. We need to protect our country, our citizens, our taxpayers," Binyaminov said.

The devout Jewish man called Hewlett is a "very quiet" neighborhood where "nothing ever happens", adding, "I don’t know what he was doing in our neighborhood, targeting our Jewish members."

"I know he’s facing a couple of felonies, but this was his choice," Binyaminov said.

Nassau County authorities were outraged.

"Nassau County is not a sanctuary county," said county Executive Bruce Blakeman, who announced the arrest along with Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly.

The circumstances surrounding Lehbeib’s roaming of the Hewlett neighborhood are under investigation, authorities said.

Lehbieb, who said he was in the neighborhood looking for work, had two listed addresses: one in Jamaica, Queens and a second at the hotel-turned-shelter Ramada by Wyndham on Staten Island.

He is believed to have taken a bus from the Queens address to Hewlett, cops said.

"It’s very suspicious," Blakeman said. "He came a long way from Staten Island to get here. If he’s looking for work why did he have nefarious ideas.

"It’s absolutely crazy," he added.

Blakeman expressed concerned that murderous Moslems and organized criminals are pouring over the lax U.S.-Mexican border, unvetted and wanting to cause harm.

"These aren’t people kissing the ground when they come here. They’re spitting on our flag," he said.

"It’s an invasion. It’s a disgrace."

India-Pakistan
ATC approves bail of Imran Khan, Qureshi in May 9 riots case
[GEO.TV] An anti-terrorism court Saturday approved the bail petitions of Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI) founder Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who anti-establishment Pak premier, who was hounded out of office, arrested, jailed, and will likely be hung by his political opponents...
and the party's big shot Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi
...a Pak political shape-changer. He is undistinguished except for his habit of periodically needing to have his lips reattached...
in 12 different May 9 riots' cases registered against them.

The two politicians were granted bail by Judge Malik Ijaz Asif.

Earlier today, the court also granted bail and ordered the release of Awami Mulsim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed in the same case.

Shiraz Ahmed Ranjha, a PTI lawyer was representing Khan and Qureshi in the court, while the judge rejected the prosecution's request to hold the hearing on another day.

The decision was issued after a hearing in the case was held on February 6. The court had summoned Khan, Qureshi and AML chief to appear earlier this week, the orders for which it gave during a hearing held on February 3.

On December 27, Qureshi was initially arrested in a General Headquarters (GHQ) attack case from Adiala jail, but later he was booked in 12 other cases related to violent mostly peaceful May 9 protests, while Khan was arrested in the GHQ attack case on January 9.

The May 9 riots were triggered almost across the country after the deposed prime minister's arrest in the £190 million settlement case. Hundreds of PTI workers and big shots were put behind bars for their involvement in violence and attacks on military installations.

During the protests, the miscreants targeted the civil and military installations including — Jinnah House and the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi. The military termed May 9 "Black Day" and decided to try the protesters under the Army Act.

The approval of petitions by both politicians comes two days after the country witnessed the conduct of its 10th general elections on February 8.

NDM chief Mohsin Dawar injured in North Waziristan firing
[GEO.TV] National Democratic Movement (NDM) Chairman Mohsin Dawar was injured in a firing incident in North Wazoo's Miranshah
... headquarters of al-Qaeda in Pakistain and likely location of Ayman al-Zawahiri. The Haqqani network has established a ministate in centered on the town with courts, tax offices and lots of madrassas...
, Geo News reported on Saturday citing police officials.

The incident took place when Dawar's supporters were protesting against the delay in election results.

According to the protesters, the police started firing and shelled tear gas during the demonstration.

Moreover, some of Dawar's associates also sustained injuries in the incident.

The police said that Dawar, along with others who were maimed, have been taken to Miranshah Hospital.

Miranshah District Police Officer (DPO) Rokhanzeb Khan, in conversation with Geo News, said the firing took place at a protest rally of a political party.

"During the firing, four people including political figure Mohsin Dawar were maimed. The armed persons present in the demonstration opened fire," the DPO said.

The NDM politician was contesting from the NA-40 constituency in North Waziristan for a seat in the National Assembly and lost against a Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI)-backed independent candidate Aurangzeb Khan, who won the seat with 20,443 votes.

Earlier this year in January, Dawar's convoy came under a gun attack by bully boyz in Tappi village in North Waziristan.

North Waziristan District Police Officer (DPO) Rohan Zaib confirmed to Geo News about the attack but noted that the politician remained safe due to the law enforcers deployed for his security.

According to the police, several gunshots were fired at Dawar's convoy but he remained safe because his car was bulletproof and the security personnel accompanying him fired back at the assailants, which forced them to flee from the scene.

"Cowardly attacks cannot dampen our spirit. The patrons of the attackers should come in the field themselves instead of using others' children against us," Dawar said in reaction to the attack.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Hamas had command tunnel under U.N. Gaza HQ, Israeli military says
[Reuters] - Israeli forces have discovered a tunnel network hundreds of metres (yards) long and running partly under UNRWA's Gaza headquarters, the military says, calling it new evidence of Hamas exploitation of the main relief agency for Palestinians.

Army engineers took reporters for foreign news outlets through the passages at a time of crisis for UNRWA, which has launched an internal probe and seen a string of donor countries freeze funding over allegations last month by Israel that some of its staff doubled as Hamas operatives.
The entire stock of the UN's 'Chateau Petrus' was said to have been lost.
The Palestinians have accused Israel of falsifying information to tarnish UNRWA, which employs 13,000 people in the Gaza Strip and has been a lifeline for the aid-dependent population for years. The agency runs schools, primary healthcare clinics and other social services, and distributes aid, describing its activities as purely humanitarian.

UNRWA Headquarters is in Gaza City, among northern areas that Israeli troops and tanks overran early in the four-month-old war against the governing Islamist faction Hamas, sending hundreds of thousands of civilians fleeing southward.
Civilians? Yes civilians. Why do you ask ?
Reporters on the closely escorted trip entered a shaft next to a school on the periphery of the U.N. compound, descending to the concrete-lined tunnel. Twenty minutes of walking through the stifling hot, narrow and occasionally winding passage brought them underneath UNRWA Headquarters, an army lieutenant-colonel leading the tour said.

The tunnel, which the military said was 700 metres long and 18 metres deep, bifurcated at times, revealing side-rooms. There was an office space, with steel safes that had been opened and emptied. There was a tiled toilet. One large chamber was packed with computer servers,
Ooooooohhhh — can you say terabytes, dear Reader? The IDF’s clever little boys and girls are going to have so much fun with this war booty!
another with industrial battery stacks.
UN dining room menus scattered about everywhere.
"Everything is conducted from here. All the energy for the tunnels, which you walked through them are powered from here," said the lieutenant-colonel, who gave only his first name, Ido.

"This is one of the central commands of the intelligence. This place is one of the Hamas intelligence units, where they commanded most of the combat."

But Ido said Hamas appeared to have evacuated in the face of the Israeli advance, preemptively cutting off communications cables that, in an above-ground part of the tour, he showed running through the floor of the UNRWA Headquarters' basement.
Dumbwaiters and laundry chutes ran adjacent the UN gift shop.
The Times of Israel has considerably more, plus photos. Key bits:

battalion and withdrawn its troops from.At the time of the initial ground offensive in Gaza City, the military had not found or known much about the Hamas data center. But new intelligence, primarily emerging from the Shin Bet interrogations of captured terrorists, helped pinpoint where to dig.

"The IDF was here previously, the first time was to destroy the enemy, but when we were here the last time we collected a lot of intelligence documents and findings, a lot of prisoners, and thanks to this we reached here. Now we carried out a targeted operation to take this capability away," said the commander of the 401st Armored Brigade, Col. Benny Aharon, while giving a media tour of the tunnel and UN complex on Thursday.

"We had a basis of information, but not enough to be able to dig down 20 meters and find it, we needed a bit more. There’s information we get from prisoners we capture, from computers we find, from documents, maps," he said.

The IDF in recent weeks has returned to carry out smaller operations in the northern Gaza Strip, after largely destroying Hamas’s fighting capabilities during the early stages of the ground offensive.

Col. Nissim Hazan, a senior officer in the 401st Brigade, said the IDF can now carry out raids with much smaller numbers of forces, for operations "that require much more research and much more time, and a lot more patience."

There is still a risk to these raids, with Aharon noting that two soldiers under his command had been killed during their operation to reach the Hamas data center — Maj. (res.) Yitzhar Hofman, a commander in the Israeli Air Force’s elite Shaldag unit and Maj. David Shakuri, the deputy commander of the Combat Engineering Corps’ 601st Battalion — both by sniper fire.

Hazan, who is tasked with coordinating the brigade’s underground operations, said the main entrance to the tunnel was located under a UNRWA school in the area. However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
it had been blocked off by Hamas by the time troops arrived. Instead, combat engineers dug down around eight meters to find the shallowest part of the underground passage.

At the UNRWA headquarters, Aharon said his forces found several caches of weapons belonging to Hamas when they raided and battled Hamas button men for the complex, although it was after the UN staff had evacuated.

"Grenades, rockets, launchers, explosives, a large amount of weapons that would put any Hamas company to shame," he said.

The IDF also said that in some of the offices of UNRWA officials, troops found equipment and documents that indicated "that the same offices were also used by Hamas terrorists."

"There is no doubt that UNRWA staff knew that [Hamas] was digging a massive tunnel beneath them," Aharon said. "There’s a perimeter wall, a gate, cameras, at the gate they log who comes in and out. Whoever worked at UNRWA knew very well who was coming in, and who they were covering for."

A civilian car was also targeted by the Israeli forces in the Tal as-Sultan neighbourhood, one of the most densely populated areas in Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of Paleostinians are taking refuge.

At least 28 Paleostinians were killed in the air strikes in Rafah early Saturday after Israeli prime minister ordered the military to plan for the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people from the southern Gaza city ahead of a ground invasion.

It says that due to Hamas’s use of the hospital, and intense fighting in the area, troops carried out the delivery in coordination with an unnamed international aid organization and local officials.

IDF demolishes Hebron home of Hamas terrorist involved in deadly West Bank attack
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces said Thursday that troops along with Border Police officers destroyed the Hebron home of one of the perpetrators of a deadly November shooting attack, when holy warriors targeted the "tunnels" checkpoint on the West Bank’s Route 60, south of Jerusalem.

Cpl. Avraham Fetena, 20, a Military Police soldier from Haifa, was critically maimed in the attack and later departed this vale of tears. Five other people were maimed.

The military did not identify the name of the attacker whose home was destroyed, saying only that he was one of three people who carried out the attack and that the homes of the two other perpetrators had already been demolished.

Paleostinian media identified him as Hassan Qafisha. Qafisha’s father was the head of the Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
terror group’s military arm in Hebron until he was killed in 2003.

At the time of the attack, the other button men were identified as Abdelqader Qawasmeh and Nasser Qawasmeh. All three were members of Hamas.

Police said the three button men had planned to carry out a much larger massacre in Jerusalem. Hamas claimed the attack.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
An Israeli drone raid that hit a car in Lebanon has killed at least two people, but a Hamas official who was the target survived the attack
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Pray for sepsis.
The two victims were civilians, a Lebanese Civil Defence official told the AFP news agency.

The Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
official targeted in the attack was close to Saleh al-Arouri, Hamas’s deputy chief killed last month in a suspected Israeli raid on a suburb of Beirut, a security source said.

The Times of Israel daily reported that the person targeted was Basel Salah, describing him as a recruiter for Hamas in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

and the West Bank.

The strike was the second attack 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...
this week beyond the border region with Israel.

"This was deep inside Lebanon, approximately 60km [37 miles] from the border with Israel, outside the battleground where the Israeli army and the Lebanese group Hezbollah have been exchanging fire, triggered by the war on Gaza," Khodr said.
More from the Times of Israel:
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said an Israeli drone struck a car in the coastal town of Jadra, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the border.

The Hamas unit Salah was a member of was headed by Azzam Al-Aqraa, who was killed in the alleged Israeli strike in Beirut last month that also killed the terror group’s deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri.

Salah’s condition is unknown, but he is believed to have been injured in Saturday’s strike.

The strike took place deeper into Lebanese territory than the usual exchanges of fire between Hamas ally Hezbollah and the Israeli military, which have been mostly limited to the border region.
