The video begins with the terrified neighbor seemingly locked outside his house and asking someone to let him in.
The officers repeatedly ask the neighbor to go inside the home, but he informs them he can't because he does not have the keys.

The shooting happened as four officers were serving a warrant for felon Terry Clark Hughes, who was wanted for possessing a firearm and shot dead in the gun battle.

Arabia
CENTCOM says US forces ‘engaged and destroyed’ two Houthi UAS launched from Yemen
[IsraelTimes] The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) says it "engaged and destroyed two unmanned aerial systems in Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
-controlled areas of Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
" earlier today.

It says the aerial systems were determined to present a threat to US and coalition forces in the area, as well as to vessels transiting in nearby waters.

"These actions are necessary to protect our forces, ensure freedom of navigation, and make international waters safer and more secure for US, coalition and merchant vessels," the statement says.

Europe
France decries ‘unacceptable acts’ after boar head placed at mosque
[IsraelTimes] Interior minister announces probe into ’incitement to racial hatred’ at site, says two other mosques in northern La Belle France ’degraded’ amid Ramadan festivities
What odds it was actually a member of the congregation that dunnit, looking to create a narrative?
La Belle France’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin has slammed "unacceptable acts" against the Moslem community after a boar head was found near a mosque in the east of the country.

A prosecutor said a probe into "incitement to racial hatred" had been opened after worshipers at a mosque in the village of Contrexeville in the Vosges region discovered the animal’s head on Friday.

Darmanin late Saturday said that two other mosques in northern La Belle France had also been "degraded."

"This weekend mosques in Valenciennes and Fresnes-sur-Escaut were degraded. A mosque in the Vosges was also targeted. I firmly condemn these unacceptable acts against our Moslem compatriots," he said on X, formerly Twitter.

The incidents come during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, during which believers fast from dawn till dusk and focus on prayers.

and antisemitic incidents have been on the rise in Europa

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Turkish security authorities detained 51 suspects in the country suspected of involvement in the Islamic State group (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic Ali Erlikaya announced on March 31 on the social network H.

“Fifty-one people were detained as a result of a four-day operation against IS in 21 provinces,” he wrote.

According to him, special operations were carried out, including in Istanbul and Antalya. During the searches, a large number of documents from the group were confiscated from the detainees.

As reported by IA Regnum, on January 28, unknown persons attacked the Catholic Church of St. Mary in the Sariyer district of Istanbul. One person was killed and two were injured.

The attack occurred during a Sunday service. Two masked men burst into the church building and opened fire. There were about 50 people in the temple.

Turkish Interior Minister Ali Erlikaya said that two of the suspects in the attack were foreigners. According to Yerlikai, both foreign national suspects are believed to be members of the Islamic State.

Aftermath of Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital raid is laid bare in harrowing photographs: Mothers weep and bodies are recovered after IDF troops withdraw and declare two-week operation 'complete'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Lots of photos, some clearly posed, lots of details clearly sympathetic to those left behind in the aftermath of a major battle.
  • Israeli troops withdrew from Al-Shifa, the largest hospital in Gaza

  • Palestinians said they found dead bodies inside and outside the facility

  • Less than a third of the Gaza Strip's 36 hospitals remain at least partially open

The Times of Israel provides a less anti-Zionist perspective:
The Israel Defense Forces withdrew early Monday 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 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...
City complex housing the Shifa Hospital, after a two-week raid in which the military said it detained or killed hundreds of terror suspects.

The military confirmed that its forces had left the hospital after earlier describing the Shifa raid as one of the most successful operations of the nearly six-month war, saying it killed scores of Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
and other terrorists, as well as seizing valuable intelligence.

The military also said Monday that it had lost its 600th soldier since the war began on October 7. Staff Sergeant Nadav Cohen, 20, from Haifa, was killed fighting in southern Gaza as part of the 7th Armored Brigade’s 77th Battalion. He was the 256th soldier to fall during the military’s ground offensive in Gaza. Most of the other soldiers were killed repelling Hamas’s assault, and 10 have been killed in festivities with Hezbollah on the northern border.

During the Shifa Hospital raid, which began March 18, the IDF said troops captured some 900 suspects of whom more than 500 were confirmed to be terror operatives, and killed more than 200 button men. Among those killed and detained were top commanders in Hamas and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
Eyewitnesses said dozens of Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s and shells had hit the area around the medical complex overnight Monday, with Hamas saying the Israeli strikes had provided cover for the withdrawing tanks, armored vehicles, and troops.

Despite overwhelming evidence, Hamas has denied operating from Shifa and other health facilities.

Following the IDF withdrawal, scenes of widespread devastation were revealed at the hospital, where many of the button men trapped had refused to surrender and engaged in fierce battles with Israeli troops.

"Dozens of bodies, some of them decomposed, have been recovered from in and around the Shifa medical complex," the Hamas-run health ministry said in a statement.

The Israeli military "withdrew from the Shifa medical complex after burning down the complex buildings and putting it completely out of service," the ministry run by the terror group said, adding that "the scale of the destruction inside the complex and the buildings around it is very large."

"No hospital in the world looks like this. This is what a house of murderous Moslems looks like," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a Sunday news conference.

Some 350 patients and medical staff at Shifa Hospital were evacuated by the IDF to a "designated compound" in another part of the complex, where the military provided them with humanitarian aid and supplies.

An additional 6,200 civilians sheltering at the medical center were evacuated from the premises, the IDF said.

As the IDF withdrew from Shifa, fighting continued in other parts of Gaza.

In central Gaza, the IDF said an attack helicopter carried out a strike two buildings used by Hamas, one of which was booby-trapped and had been used to observe Israeli troops.

In other airstrikes in Gaza, the IDF said it killed terror operatives who were an "immediate threat" to ground troops, including a sniper. In southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, the IDF said troops of the Commando Brigade and Givati Brigade were continuing to battle Hamas in the al-Amal neighborhood. Amid the operation in al-Amal, troops killed numerous button men in close-quarters combat, detained terror suspects, and located weapons over the past day, the IDF said.

In another area of Khan Younis, the IDF said the 7th Armored Brigade and Israeli Air Force struck several Hamas targets, including a truck driving toward the troops and another car with operatives inside, which were perceived as threats.

As fighting continued, the US continued with efforts to stop a promised Israeli incursion into the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where more than 1.5 million displaced Paleostinians are sheltering.

Three seriously wounded in terror stabbing spree at Gan Yavne mall
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian assailant rubbed out while trying to attack officer who responded to scene; security footage shows victim attempting to fight off stabber in weight room

Three people were seriously maimed in a suspected terror knifing at a mall in the southern Israeli city of Gan Yavne late Sunday, authorities said, as concern mounted that a relatively calm Ramadan period could give way to a fresh outburst of violence.

The attack at the city’s Friendly mall was the second of the day, after an off-duty soldier was stabbed and lightly injured at Beersheba’s main bus station.

The three victims, identified by the Magen David Adom ambulance service as two men aged 25 and 20, and a 17-year-old boy, were all rushed to Assuta Hospital in nearby Ashdod with multiple stab wounds.

The rescue group said all three were transported at death's door and that medics had fought to save the 25-year-old man from dying of his wounds on the way to the hospital.

Police described the incident as a terror attack.

The attacker, identified as a 19-year-old Paleostinian, was rubbed out by security officers who responded to the scene. Security camera footage published by police overnight showed two officers arrive in a police car, with one looking over a man seen bleeding from his back as the second enters an outdoor portion of the shopping center.

As the knifeman sprints in his direction, the officer begins to run away. Just as the stabber jumps on the officer, the second cop runs up and shoots the assailant, killing him.

A police statement identified the two as a police officer and city municipal enforcement officer who rushed to the scene after hearing a commotion.

In a second video, the stabber can be seen running through a weight room and repeatedly stabbing a man as the two scuffle. The victim eventually manages to get away.

According to police, the assailant used two knives in the attack.

Reports in Hebrew and Arabic-language media identified the suspected attacker as a 19-year-old from the town of Dura, outside of Hebron, in the southern West Bank.

Southern district police commander Amir Cohen said the suspected attacker had entered Israel from the southern West Bank via a hole in the security barrier, though authorities were investigating if he may have been employed illegally in the mall.

Cohen said the suspect had been issued a work permit in the past. According to various reports in Hebrew-language media, he had not met the criteria for a permit allowing him to work in Israel, but rather the permit had only been valid for a West Bank industrial zone run by Israel. It had expired in August reports said.

Medics said the victims were found in different parts of the shopping center, indicating the breadth of the rampage.

"It was a tough scene," first responder Shiri Barlev said in a statement provided by MDA.

Visiting the mall following the attack, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said an increased police presence and continued programs arming civilian quick response squads were needed to bolster the fight on terror.

"We’re at war, and certainly the enemy has more motivation to harm us," he said.

Earlier Sunday, an off-duty Israel Defense Forces officer was stabbed and lightly maimed in a terror attack at Beersheba’s central bus station.

According to police and the IDF, after stabbing the victim at a bus platform, the terrorist was shot by another soldier, and was later pronounced dead.

The stabber was identified by defense sources as Naji Abu Freh, 28, a resident of the nearby Bedouin city of Rahat.

That attack came weeks after another Rahat resident originally from the Gazoo

IDF says building damaged in Eilat drone attack, apparently launched from Iraq
Good lord — those Iraqi idiots actually hit something!
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says a building was lightly damaged in a drone attack in the Eilat region, but there were no injuries in the incident.

The army says soldiers identified a "suspicious aerial target that entered Israeli territory from the east" which impacted "in the Eilat Bay area."

The IDF statement does not say what building was hit or if any attempt was made to intercept the object.

Reports indicated earlier that the drone hit a naval base in the city.

The reference to the projectile’s origin being to the east appears to confirm a claim by the Islamic Resistance® of Iraq that it fired on Israel.

Gallant: Captured Hamas operatives tell us Hamas is collapsing from within
[IsraelTimes] Defense minister claims ‘very great progress’ in Gaza war; troops at Shifa hospital find weapons hidden in maternity ward beds; strike hits Islamic Jihad center at 2nd hospital

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Sunday that senior Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
operatives captured by troops in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

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 have told interrogators "the group is collapsing from within."

"In the last week or two, hundreds of bandidos Death Eaters have been captured and what they say about what happened to them tells the whole story. They say that Hamas is collapsing from within, the price they are paying is very heavy," Gallant said following an assessment at the 98th Division’s headquarters.

"We’re going to eliminate everyone who was involved in the events of October 7, the junior [officials], the senior ones and the very senior ones; those who were inside [Israel] or who gave instructions," he said, referring to the date of Paleostinian terror group Hamas’s massive attack on Israel that started the ongoing war.

He said the Israel Defense Forces will continue fighting until they reach all bandidos Death Eaters in the Gaza Strip.

"In the last few days, we have also seen very great progress, both in [reaching] the bandidos Death Eaters in the field and the more senior commanders, even very senior ones," Gallant added, referring to the IDF’s operations at Shifa Hospital, where more than 500 members of terror groups have been captured and some 200 have been killed, including several top commanders.

The IDF said Sunday that troops had seized a cache of weapons concealed in the maternity ward of Shifa Hospital, where a raid on the facility to rout out Hamas bandidos Death Eaters at the site was entering its third week.

Troops have been raiding buildings at the Shifa complex following intelligence indicating that brass hats in the terror group are holed up there.

The Nahal Brigade’s reconnaissance unit found weapons, including mortars, bombs, sniper rifles, assault rifles, handguns and other military equipment hidden inside patient pillows and beds, and in the dropped ceilings and walls of the building, according to the IDF.

Some 350 patients and medical staff at Shifa Hospital were evacuated by the IDF to a "designated compound" in another part of the complex, where the military has provided them with humanitarian aid and supplies.

The reconnaissance unit also encountered and killed senior Hamas operatives Fadi Dweik and Zakaria Najib during a chase and exchange of fire in the maternity ward last week.

Shifa, the Gaza Strip’s biggest hospital before the war, had been one of the few health care facilities even partially operational in north Gaza before the latest fighting. It had also been housing displaced civilians.

Meanwhile,

command center located in the courtyard of al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah.

According to the IDF, Islamic Jihad operatives were in the command room when it was hit.

The IDF said that after a "lengthy procedure," the command center was struck "in a precise manner to reduce the harm to the uninvolved [civilians] in the area of ​​the hospital."

The hospital itself was not damaged in the strike, the IDF said.

Video footage from the scene appeared to show a number of maimed individuals.

Paleostinian health officials and Hamas media said the strike hit several tents inside the hospital, killing four people and wounding several, including five journalists.

"The presence of the command room and the bandidos Death Eaters who operated in the hospital yard are further proof of the systematic use of humanitarian and medical infrastructure by the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip as a cover for terrorist activities," the IDF added in a statement.

International law stipulates that while a medical facility is a protected site in conflict, it loses that status if it is used for military activity. Israel has offered evidence bandidos Death Eaters use such facilities as cover and says Hamas plunders humanitarian aid to take supplies for its fighters, depriving the civilian population.

Last week the IDF released footage of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives detailing how the terror groups used Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital as a base of operations.

In other operations, the IDF said it carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on several buildings in Gaza City’s Rimal neighborhood that had been used to fire anti-tank missiles at troops the day before, as well as for sniper fire. At least one terror operative was killed in the strikes, the IDF said.

In central Gaza, the Nahal Brigade killed at least 15 button men over the past day, including with sniper fire and by calling in airstrikes.

Fighting also continued in the southern Gaza Strip.

The IDF said troops of the 7th Armored Brigade and Israeli Air Force killed several button men in the Khan Younis area, and combat engineers destroyed sites belonging to terror groups.

The Commando Brigade has been operating in the al-Amal neighborhood of Khan Younis, where the troops killed several more operatives over the past day, the IDF said.

In another operation in the Khan Younis area, the IDF says the Givati Brigade killed 15 terror operatives with sniper fire and tank shelling. The troops also seized weapons.

Over the past day, the Israel Air Force also struck some 80 targets across the Gaza Strip, including buildings and infrastructure used by terror groups, according to the military.

#1  I don't think Hamas is collapsing very quickly.

But if it were, the C.Johnson theory of special ops would be enough to destroy the Rafah divisions.

#3  It is like ISIS in that Hamas the bureaucratic orderly hierarchy is unravelling. Training underlings to succeed you is considered bad for "career prospects" in a Honor-Shame Society. So killing the few effective/brutal/charismatic leaders causes an immediate power struggle to replace them...

Hamas, or ISIS, the concept is pretty much unkillable. The best you can do is to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" as the old Chinese saying goes.

IDF officer lightly hurt in terror stabbing at Beersheba central bus station
[IsraelTimes] Attacker from nearby Bedouin city of Rahat is rubbed out by another soldier at scene; another person lightly hurt by bullet ricochet

An off-duty Israel Defense Forces officer was stabbed and lightly maimed in a terror attack at Beersheba’s central bus station on Sunday morning, police and medics said.

According to police and the IDF, after stabbing the victim at a bus platform, the terrorist was shot by another soldier, and was later pronounced dead.

The stabber was identified by defense sources as Naji Abu Freh, 28, a resident of the nearby Bedouin city of Rahat.

The maimed officer was taken to Beersheba’s Soroka Hospital with minor injuries to his arm, the Magen David Adom ambulance service said. He was listed in good condition.

Another person was lightly hurt during the attack as a result of a bullet ricocheting amid the gunfire toward the attacker.

An off-duty Border Police officer at the scene, who identified himself as Shalev, told Ynet that he grabbed the stabber’s arm and another soldier at the scene shot him.

"I made the terrorist drop the knife," he said. "They told me to move and shot two bullets at him."

Other witnesses at the scene said they saw the terrorist at a bus stop before he stabbed the victim and that people ran as soon as he was shot.

The attack came weeks after another Rahat resident originally from the Gazoo

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...

Syrian state media says Israeli airstrikes wounded two civilians, caused ‘material losses’

The report also says that unspecified "material losses" were caused by the strikes.

Israel has allegedly carried out several airstrikes in Syria over the past week, killing Iranian-linked operatives, including members of Leb

Ismail Ali al-Zin, according to the IDF, was a senior commander in Radwan’s anti-tank missile unit.

The IDF describes al-Zin as a "significant source of knowledge regarding anti-tank missiles and was responsible for dozens of anti-tank missile attacks against Israeli civilians, communities and security forces."

The IDF releases footage of the strike on al-Zin’s vehicle.
