#Somalia | Al-Shabab militants Carried Out Deadly Ambush on Somalia Government Forces Along Afgooye–Wanla-Weyn Road
At least nine soldiers and officers from Somalia’s federal forces, including a senior military commander, were killed and dozens more wounded following a series of heavy Al-Shabab attacks involving roadside explosions yesterday along the road connecting Afgooye and Wanla-Weyn in Lower Shabeelle yesterday. Among those killed was Yaxye Cali Magan, a senior officer who served as both a unit commander and chief of staff. A military vehicle was also completely destroyed by the explosion.
The targeted troops had been dispatched from Mogadisho as part of a military offensive towards Buurhakaba when they were ambushed by the militants. Many wounded soldiers were transported to Mogadisho yesterday and today.
Reinforcements expected from other positions in Lower Shabeelle failed to arrive after military officers refused to send additional troops over fears of further roadside explosives.

[BBC] An oil spill from a tanker attacked near the Strait of Hormuz is spreading along the United Arab Emirates (UAE) coastline, forcing the closure of some beaches and coastal areas.
Satellite images from Monday show the beginnings of the oil spill from a ship matching the location and dimensions of Gem No.2, which was damaged between 9 and 10 October during a record surge of vessel strikes by Iran.
The slick of oil had spread more than 35km (22 miles) from the tanker by Wednesday, the satellite imagery showed.
UAE authorities said on Thursday that the incident is affecting beaches near the northern city of Umm Al Quwain and verified video from Friday shows the oil washing ashore, colouring the water black.

[DM] Shopkeepers and terrified civilians are arming themselves in Paris ahead of fresh protests scheduled for this weekend.
The turmoil in the capital and other French cities has seen protesters looting shops, defacing monuments and clashing with police in the country's most violent unrest in years.
As France braces for a new round of nationwide protests on Saturday, gun shops have reported a surge in demand from customers who say they no longer trust the police to protect their businesses and homes.
Yves Gollety, owner of the Armurerie de la Bourse, a gun shop in Paris, told The Times that demand had risen eight to ten times.
Most customers, he said, were buying gel canisters costing €50 to €60 or a more powerful pistol-shaped weapon costing €500.
Gollety assured that the device, which fires a concentrated jet of irritant, makes it difficult for the attacker to breathe, causes streaming eyes and forces the eyelids shut.
He assured that the device, which can put an attacker down within a matter of seconds, was 'safe' and 'non-lethal', and argued that it was safer than the iron bars and fireworks used by protesters.
In France, these devices can be bought without a permit, while firearms are subject to stricter controls.

"gun shops have reported a surge in demand from customers" Huh ... didn't think you could buy most guns in France without a special permit, 12 months of training and government approval/registration. I think something like 1,000 rounds is the most ammo you can hold and your firearm needs to be secured in a safe. So no ... maybe not a lot of people running out to buy guns.
[BBC] French President Emmanuel Macron has labelled a gun attack in a Parisian suburb which killed one person and injured five others "a racist terrorist attack".
Macron said the attack was a "turning point in the life of our Republic and our nation" - the first time there has ever been a random racial killing like this.
The attack unfolded over some 15 minutes with the attacker opening fire from his car - first in Trappes to the south-west of Paris, and then in nearby La Verrière - appearing to target people of migrant origin. He was subsequently arrested.
A native fights back against the Moslem colonizers.
Three of those injured, including a 12-year-old girl, remain in a serious condition.
Visiting the scene of the attack in Trappes, Macron said people had been targeted for their skin colour or religion and urged the public not to give an inch in the face of what he called "ideologies taking root".
[Rudaw] The Iraqi General Directorate for Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Affairs and the United Arab Emirates dismantled a cross-border drug trafficking network on Friday, seizing 200,000 Captagon pills and arresting the suspects in a joint operation.
“In a new security blow to cross-border drug trafficking networks … in coordination and cooperation with the National Anti-Narcotics Agency in the sisterly United Arab Emirates, successfully seized 200,000 narcotic Captagon pills and arrested the individuals involved in this case in the UAE,” the directorate said in a statement.
It also added that the operation reflects high-level international security and intelligence coordination to “pursue transnational drug trafficking networks, restrict their movements, and sever their supply routes before reaching their destinations.”
The joint operation comes as Iraq has intensified its anti-narcotics campaign this year.
Last month, Iraqi and Kuwaiti anti-drug authorities seized 700,000 Captagon pills and arrested two people in a joint operation in Kuwait's Kabd area.
A 2024 report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) identified Iraq as a "conduit" for drug smuggling, serving both as a destination and transit route for narcotics circulating between Southwest Asia, the Arabian Peninsula and Europe.
To counter rising domestic consumption and a surge in Captagon from neighboring countries, anti-drug operations have scaled up internationally, with Iraqi security bodies establishing 36 liaison channels with foreign counterparts.
The Friday report affirmed that “confronting the drug scourge is no longer merely a local issue, but a security battle requiring a comprehensive international partnership that transcends borders,” noting that information exchange and agency coordination remain critical to tracking smuggling networks, disrupting their plots, and drying up smuggling sources.
[DM] Gunmen killed at least seven people and wounded 34 at a church in southern Jordan today in a rare attack on Christians in the majority Sunni Muslim kingdom.
Assailants stormed the compound of a Greek Orthodox church in the village of Hammoud in Karak governorate before opening fire.
The tally of the dead and wounded has been revised as authorities investigate the deadly attack. At least 27 of those wounded have been sent to hospital for treatment.
The gunmen got out of a vehicle and opened fire during a funeral procession, authorities said, adding that a manhunt is underway for the perpetrators.
Footage aired by state broadcaster Al-Mamlaka showed the moment of the attack.
In the video, two gunmen are seen dressed in casual clothes and brandishing pistols, with a third carrying a long gun, before they open fire on the church from an entrance on the street and charge forwards.
Footage taken from inside the church showed several people lying bleeding and injured on the floor as the people around them tend to their wounds.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack but the country's interior minister said it was carried out by a 'group of extremists', without naming the perpetrators.
Minister of Government Communications Mohammed Al-Momani said security forces were investigating the attack. Jordan's King Abdullah, meanwhile, said those who carried out the attack will be punished with 'an iron fist'.
He wrote in a post to X: 'The terrorist attack against Karak will be met with the harshest retaliation. Those who delude themselves into thinking that they can divide Jordanians with their bullets have no chance in the face of our unity.
AI - The most recent widely reported case of a Christian terrorist or group attacking a Muslim religious site in the name of God is the May 18, 2026 shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, California
It happens, but those stories don't stay in the spot light for very long.

^ #2 I did .... Perpetrators were 2 Teenagers:
Cain Clark (17)
Caleb Vazquez (18)
An AI check for what AI is worth. Did not show them members of any Church, church group or Religious Following.
AI - Cain Clark was involved in far-right extremism and identified with white nationalism, ....but there is no specific mention of him belonging to a church. His actions were associated with hate crimes rather than religious affiliation. He was linked to anti-Islamic sentiments and extremist ideologies.
AI - Caleb Vazquez - there is no indication that Caleb Vazquez himself was affiliated with any church or religious group. In summary, while he targeted a Muslim community, there is no evidence to suggest that he belonged to any church or religious organization.
They were followers of the Socialist NEO-NAZISM agenda.
The 2 shooters were inspired by leaders and figureheads associated with the now defunct neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division, according to their own social media posts. (See Hatewatch).
Unlike radical Islamist that Murder anyone not of their faith in the name of Mohammad.
NOTHING related to GOD, Christian and/or Jewish faith following agendas or groups.

@3 Fair enough, the AI result was what I got when I put in "When was the last time a Christian Terrorist or Christian Terrorist group attacked a Muslim religious site in the name of GOD?"
I don't feel like spending a half hour or more doing research, but to think that "Christians' don't attack Muslims isn't accurate.

Spent years near the masjihad in question (and coincidentally am typing this a MacCoolian stone's throw from the place). Never attended, but often rubbed elbows with congregants in nearby big boxes and strip mall ethnic groceries and whatnot). Not a cheery assimilationist taqiyya factory kinda crowd... but I never saw any of them catch even a hint of backlash.
And speaking of "Christians," didn't we all wonder about that name?
He surely should sue! Who'd brand "Cain"
On their kiddo? Imagine the strain!
"Judge, I felt like a gnat,

Uh-oh. Is That a bad "dear?" You could expand the old trucker song I've Been Everywhere and Amos Milburn's Greyhound to a thousand verses each and adapt 'em to a hundred countries... and it wouldn't begin to cover all the places I haven't been.
Parents drug us kids around a bit when we were little. After that... a few trips to see friends and relatives and The Coolness, then hardly left town for decades, besides the odd funeral or whatnot. That said, wherever "town" is, I do tend to explore.

Not in the least bad — I am all admiration. An obscure masjihad in Jordan is not the usual town next door for most of us.
At one point Mr. Wife had to replace his passport five years early because the fourth insert started dropping pages, the thing was so crowded with visa stamps glued in and agitated by officers smacking so hard to get the ink to print properly. But mine was much more orderly.

[Regnum] Israel is preparing for a large-scale military operation in the West Bank. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced this on October 23.
He indicated that the operation should be the largest since 1967. The goal of the operation is stated to be the elimination of paramilitary groups.
"That's exactly what we'll do here in the Hebron neighborhood where the terrorists originated. We'll evacuate the residents, go door-to-door, confiscate weapons, and dismantle and destroy the entire terrorist infrastructure," Netanyahu said, according to The Times of Israel.
The Israeli Prime Minister added that the timing of the operation will be announced later.
The escalation was triggered by an armed attack on the morning of October 23 near Hebron. Near the Judea Junction in the West Bank, two unidentified assailants in a car opened fire with an M16 rifle and a pistol at an Israeli army checkpoint. Five people were injured. The attackers were killed.
In March, the Israeli government recognized the legality of 13 new Jewish settlements located in the West Bank. In July 2025, the country's parliament adopted a declaration calling on the government to annex the West Bank. The document has no legal or legislative force. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticized Israel's plans to annex the West Bank, calling them an attempted coup d'état aimed at overturning UN resolutions on the creation of a Palestinian state.

#BREAKING | Chief of Staff during a situation assessment following the terrorist shooting in the Judea Brigade: “A large quantity of ammunition was found inside the vehicle, and the rapid response of the fighters prevented a more dangerous terrorist attack”
⭕️ The Chief of Staff, General Eyal Zamir, just conducted a situation assessment with the participation of the Central Command Commander, the Head of Operations, the Head of Military Intelligence, and other commanders, following the terrorist shooting in the Judea Brigade.
⭕️ During the situation assessment, details of the terrorist attack were presented, which revealed that the two terrorists were neutralized by the Deputy Battalion Commander of the “Ari” Battalion and the Company Commander, who rushed to the scene of the incident.
⭕️ As part of the situation assessment, the Chief of Staff approved the Central Command's preparations to impose a full security cordon on the city of Hebron and additional villages in the area, alongside intensifying efforts to carry out further arrests and bolstering intelligence efforts in the region.
⭕️ The Chief of Staff also directed preparations to reinforce the Central Command with additional forces according to operational requirements and needs.
⭕️ And the Chief of Staff said during the situation assessment: “This is a dangerous terrorist attack. The rapid response of the fighters prevented a more dangerous terrorist attack and additional harm to civilians and security forces. A large quantity of ammunition was found inside the vehicle in which the two terrorists arrived at the site of the terrorist attack, which was intended for carrying out a terrorist operation on a larger scale.”
[Jerusalem Post] The Jerusalem Post recently interviewed female field intelligence soldiers on the Syrian border, overlooking areas where they routinely conduct surveillance and penetration operations.
Meeting at the former Syrian intelligence building, captured during the 1967 Six Day War, near Merom Golan in the Golan Heights, and traveling along the border to the Quneitra lookout, the Post interviewed IDF Capt. ’O.’ and female intelligence collection soldiers ’N.’ and ’R.’ of Battalion 595.
They discussed what it means to be part of a new generation of women who operate inside Syria, monitor increased Iranian activity in the area, and navigate growing tensions with local Syrian residents who were once grateful for the IDF’s presence. They also discussed breaking the glass ceiling for women in combat roles in the IDF. Women now make up more than 50% of their unit.
’N.’ and ’R.’ specialize in a combination of direct visual surveillance and drone-based field intelligence collection.
The Post visited Battalion 595 about a year ago in a more southerly part of Israel’s buffer zone in Syria. During both visits, female intelligence soldiers described their efforts to locate and track a range of hostile groups, from Iranian operatives to Hamas members and regime-linked HTS jihadists.
In late 2025, a different group of female soldiers revealed that they had penetrated as far as 18 kilometers beyond the buffer zone into Syria. The operation included providing field guidance for the 890th Paratroopers Battalion.
During one operation, the soldiers studied four individuals who were working for, or associated with, Iran or Iranian agents. Each individual had to be analyzed separately, including their movements, schedules, and habits, one soldier, identified as ’S.’, said at the time.
By October of this year, however, the soldiers could no longer disclose how far they were penetrating into Syria.

Internal Tensions Within the STG Forces. 🇸🇾
On October 22, STG security forces launched an operation—officially targeting ISIS cells—in the city of Rankus, located in the Qalamoun region north of the capital, Damascus.
The operation resulted in the deaths of seven militants and the discovery of the true nature of the operation’s target: a former leader of the al-Nusra Front and members of the 44th Brigade, which was created in 2025 following the reorganization of armed rebel groups into military units.
It is worth noting that Rankus was the site of battles between the SAA and Syrian terrorists in 2014 until its liberation by the Syrian army in April of that year.
In response, a demonstration took place today in Rankus denouncing the deliberate actions of the STG’s security forces and defending the innocence of those detained. Protesters clashed with law enforcement, which struggled to contain the demonstrators.
Under the guise of the “war on terror,” the Syrian Transitional Government is carrying out arrests and eliminations of dissidents within terrorist groups that do not align with the new state Jolani aspires to create. Popular discontent is growing significantly in areas that have traditionally been rebel strongholds but have remained outside the control of HTS/Al-Nusra.
