🔴 جبهة باب المندب
تقدمت قوات من (درع الوطن) في محاولة للتسلل والتقدم نحو موقع الجبزي ... إلا أنها تفاجأت بأن المنطقة محصنة بشكل كبير.
عقب ذلك شنت قوات جماعة الحوثي هجوماً مكثفاً ومفاجئاً باستخدام الطيران المسير وأسلحة متنوعة
حتى هذه اللحظة لا تزال تلك القوة متواجدة في المنطقة وسط طوق عسكري محكم تفرضه جماعة الحوثي عليها.
Forces from (Dara' al-Watan) advanced in an attempt to infiltrate and progress toward the al-Jabzi position... only to be surprised that the area was heavily fortified.
Following that, Houthi group forces launched an intense and surprise attack using drones and various weapons.
As of this moment, that force remains present in the area amid a tight military siege imposed on it by the Houthi group.
[Dawn] A soldier was martyred and 17 bad boyz were potted in two intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... ’s Kachhi and Kharan districts, the military’s media affairs wing said on Tuesday.
According to a statement by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), security forces conducted the IBOs on Nov 1 on the "reported presence of murderous Moslems belonging to Indian proxy Fitna al Hindustan".
Pakistan’s oh-so-clever name for the secular, ethnic Balochi liberation groups that have been rebelling against the Pakistanis government for decades in the hope of establishing an independent homeland. It is the official Pakistani position that they are a tool of India.
The state has designated Balochistan-based groups as Fitna al Hindustan to highlight India’s alleged role in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistain.
The statement said the first IBO was conducted in the Sanni area of Kachhi district. During the operation, "terrorists’ attempt to establish [a] road block in the city was thwarted by proactive action of security forces," resulting in the killing of 10 terrorists.
"Weapons and ammunition were also recovered," it added.
Separately, security forces busted a terrorist hideout in Kharan and after an intense fire exchange, "seven Indian-sponsored khawarij were sent to hell".
ISPR said that weapons and ammunition were also recovered during this operation. The statement added that Sepoy Hikmatullah, who was 25 years old and a resident of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Karak district, was martyred during the IBO.
"Sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored terrorist found in the area," it added.
ISPR said the counterterrorism campaign would continue at full pace to wipe out the "menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country".
In a statement, President Asif Ali Ten Percent Zardari
...former president of Pakistain, husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in... commended the security forces for killing 17 murderous Moslems and also paid tribute to Sepoy Hikmatullah.
"[His] sacrifice for the defence of the homeland and for peace and security will always be remembered," the president said, extending "heartfelt" condolences and sympathy to the bereaved family.
"Operations under Azm-e-Istehkam will continue until the complete eradication of terrorism sponsored and supported from abroad," President Zardari added.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi paid tribute to the security forces on the successful operations. In a post on X, the interior ministry said he also commended the professional capabilities of security forces in "thwarting the terrorists’ nefarious designs".
He also paid tribute to the martyred soldier, saying that the "brave sons of the security forces are a source of pride for the nation".
"The security forces remain committed to the complete eradication of Indian-sponsored terrorists," he said.
🚨 SHIN BET: JENIN CELL CAUGHT BUILDING ROCKETS TO FIRE AT ISRAEL
Six Palestinians from the Jenin area have been arrested over an alleged plot to manufacture and launch rockets at Israel, according to the Shin Bet and Israel Police.
Investigators say the cell had already:
• Manufactured a rocket and explosive devices
• Conducted at least three rocket-launch tests
• Received bomb-making information through a messaging app from an outside source
Security forces also seized an assault rifle, an RPG and written instructions for manufacturing explosives, rockets and explosive devices.
Indictments against the six suspects are expected in the coming days.
The arrests come amid repeated attempts in recent years by Palestinian terror groups to develop crude rocket capabilities in the West Bank. Israeli forces separately uncovered a rocket during a September raid on a Hamas cell in the area.

[Rudaw] An Iranian police officer was rubbed out by unidentified button men outside his home in the restive Sistan Baluchestan province on Tuesday morning, state media reported, amid a string of deadly attacks on security forces in the restive southeastern province.
The officer, identified as Hojat Vafakardeh, was shot while leaving his home in the province’s Saravan country, according to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-affiliated Tasnim news agency. Police said they were searching for the attackers.
Iran's police news agency, FARAJA, confirmed Tuesday's shooting, calling it a "blind terrorist act," accusing individuals linked to the United States and Israel of carrying out the attack. Tasnim provided no evidence supporting the allegation.
The killing comes as Iranian security forces have faced a growing number of attacks across the predominantly Sunni Baluchi province, which borders Pakistain and Afghanistan. Several police and IRGC personnel have been killed in recent weeks, while authorities have carried out operations against gangs in the region.
The festivities in the region come at a sensitive time as tensions have risen once again between Tehran on the one hand and Washington and Tel Aviv on the other, with media reporting preparations for another wave of intense strikes against the beleaguered country.
Haalvsh, a human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... group monitoring developments in Iran's Baluchi areas, confirmed Vafakardeh's death, identifying him as a member of Saravan's criminal investigation police. The watchdog said the exact circumstances of the shooting and the identity of the attackers remained unclear.
Tehran has accused the US and Israel of backing gangs operating in the Baluchi and Kurdish frontier areas.
In response, authorities have deployed a large number of troops to these regions. The IRGC has mobilized tens of thousands of local militias to fight the gunnies groups in case of a ground invasion.
The attack follows the killing of retired police colonel Ali Sayadi in Iranshahr two weeks ago. Haalvsh reported that gunnies approached Sayadi in a Peugeot vehicle near his home, told two people sitting with him to move aside, and opened fire.
In late October, button men also attacked security facilities in Khash, targeting a police support unit headquarters and an adjacent cop shoppe. Haalvsh reported several possible casualties among security personnel, although the exact number could not be independently verified.
The attacks have continued despite repeated security operations. In early October, Iran's intelligence ministry said its forces had dismantled three armed cells in Sistan and Baluchestan, killing two suspected members and arresting 10 others. The ministry accused the groups of receiving training abroad before entering Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... to carry out attacks.
Iranian authorities have repeatedly blamed gangs operating along the border with Pakistain for attacks on security personnel. Tasnim has also criticized Islamabad over what it describes as insufficient action against gunnies allegedly operating from Pak territory.
Jaish al-Adl, an armed Sunni Baluchi group, has carried out attacks against Iranian police and IRGC forces for years. The group says it fights for greater political, religious and economic rights for the Baluchi population. It is part of a coalition of Baluchi gangs formed in December 2025 to coordinate their activities against Tehran.
Sistan and Baluchestan remains one of Iran's poorest provinces, with longstanding grievances over discrimination, economic hardship and restrictions affecting the predominantly Sunni Baluchi population.
In October, UN Special Rapporteur Mai Sato warned that economic marginalization, land confiscation and environmental degradation had deepened poverty in minority regions. She also raised concerns that many Baluch residents lack identity documents, restricting access to education and other services.
The unrest is not limited to Iran's southeastern border. Iranian forces have also been fighting Kurdish armed opposition groups in western Iran, known to Kurds as Rojhelat. The IRGC has deployed artillery and drones against positions in the Shaho mountain range, while Kurdish groups have reported attacks on Iranian military bases.
[Rudaw] Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Wednesday that four oil tankers had been destroyed after striking naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz and claimed to have downed another US drone, as US media reported that President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... was considering renewed strikes against Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... following the US midterm elections.
The IRGC said the four tankers were attempting to cross what it described as a prohibited passage south of the Strait of Hormuz, adding that two other vessels had also been intercepted. The claims could not be independently verified.
In a statement carried by Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, the IRGC said the tankers had struck naval mines and were "continu[ing] to burn in flames." It did not identify the vessels or provide further details about their flags or ownership.
Tehran's claim comes amid the possibility of renewed confrontations between the US and Iran. The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported Tuesday that US strikes against Iran’s Qeshm Island on Monday had been limited, with officials indicating that "there are no immediate plans to escalate." However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... it noted that the military action came "on the eve of the midterm elections."
"President Trump, meanwhile, has been considering renewed strikes against Iran after the elections," the newspaper reported.
The IRGC also claimed that its Aerospace Force had shot down a US-made MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Strait of Hormuz at 4:30 am Wednesday, describing it as the 56th such aircraft it had downed.
The IRGC further warned that Wednesday would mark a major defeat for what it called "global arrogance," drawing a comparison with the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Separately, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that a tanker had been struck by two unidentified projectiles in its engine room, 14 nautical miles northeast of Lima, Oman, on Tuesday.
The maritime monitor said there were no reported casualties or environmental impact. It advised vessels operating in the area to "transit with caution" while authorities investigate the incident.
The latest claims follow a series of maritime incidents in and around the strategic waterway. On Tuesday, the IRGC said three non-compliant oil tankers had went kaboom! after striking naval mines, while UKMTO reported several attacks involving unidentified projectiles.
Iran has accused vessels of disabling their navigation and identification systems and using unauthorized routes through the strait. The IRGC has warned that ships disregarding its regulations and cooperating with the US military could face similar incidents.
According to the Washington Institute, at least four attacks against commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters have been reported and confirmed since the beginning of November.
UKMTO recorded at least 30 maritime incidents in October, accounting for more than half of the incidents documented in the preceding month. It had recorded 88 incidents in the strait and at least 145 conflict-related maritime incidents since the beginning of the conflict, as of Friday.
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has previously rejected Iranian assertions that sea mines threaten the strait's internationally recognized shipping lanes, maintaining that US forces had cleared the primary transit routes.
"All internationally recognized primary transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz have been cleared of sea mines by U.S. forces," CENTCOM said, adding that "Thousands of commercial vessels have safely used the transit lanes and continue today."
