Afghanistan's Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada has reportedly been shifted to a hospital after allegedly being poisoned by members of the Taliban's senior leadership during a private meeting involving top Taliban officials, according to sources.
Sources allege that the incident is linked to an internal power struggle between the Taliban leadership in Kabul and Kandahar. Some senior Taliban figures reportedly hold Akhundzada responsible for failing to contain the growing anti-Taliban resistance across Afghanistan.
His silence following Pakistan's recent airstrikes has also reportedly become a point of concern among sections of the Taliban leadership.

[Jpost] The Coast Guard's Underwater Missions Unit is expected to conduct a second, more thorough inspection after an initial search by the Port Authority found no suspicious objects.
An Israeli-owned ship preparing to depart for Haifa from the Greek port of Syros in the Aegean Sea was searched by a bomb disposal team following a bomb threat, according to Greek newspaper Kathimerini.
The Panama-flagged cruise ship, Crown Iris, is operated by Mano Shipping, and had 940 passengers and 597 crew members on board, according to information obtained by Kathimerini.
According to reports in the Greek media, the warning was received directly by the captain via radio transmission, claiming that an bomb was placed on the ship's hull beneath the waterline.
The Coast Guard's Underwater Missions Unit is expected to conduct a second, more thorough inspection after an initial search by the Port Authority found no suspicious objects.
PRO-PALESTINE PROTEST TARGETS SHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS
The bomb threat came after local authorities banned a left-wing protest against the docking of the cruise ship at the Syros port.
Pro-Paleostinian activists have repeatedly protested at Greek ports where the cruise ship has docked in recent years, including in Syros itself.
SOME PASSENGERS HEAD INTO TOWN, 'NOT AFRAID'
While many passengers remained in the building adjacent to the ship, Avraham and others headed into town. She made her call to Walla from there after finding an internet connection that let her contact her family. "I came to the city center now because there is Wi-Fi here," she explained. "I want to speak with my children, because they are all hearing the news from Israel, and I know it has already been published in many places."
Going into town also let them buy food after dinner was interrupted. "By chance, we also found a supermarket that was open until nine, so we managed to buy some food, because we are hungry," she said.
The morning in Syros began with a "Free Paleostine" reception: A pro-Paleostinian demonstration took place in the city center, where, according to Avraham, a large Paleostinian flag was raised. However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... she described it as a small and quiet protest in the presence of a heavy police force. "There were more coppers than protesters," she said. "We were not afraid or worried at all, and no one confronted them."
For Avraham, the scenes were reminiscent of a previous cruise she took a year ago. According to her, stones were thrown at her bus during a visit to Crete. This time, she stressed, the feeling is different: even after the evacuation, she is not afraid to walk around the city. "We have no fear whatsoever. There is a huge police presence," she said.
According to her, passengers were told they could walk around the city and return to the ship at 11:30 p.m. At the time of the conversation, she still did not know if they would actually be allowed to return at that hour. "Let us see what happens as the night progresses," she said. Her main concern is that the delay will drag on and postpone their arrival in Haifa.
In the meantime, she is keeping her spirits up. "We have no complaints; they are treating us very well so far," she concluded. "The disembarkation was orderly. They were completely fine."
[Rudaw] Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Service (ICTS) said Wednesday that they have arrested a prominent member of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) in the disputed Kirkuk province as security forces intensify security operations against the krazed killer group.
The federal anti-terror agency executed the operation based on a "warrant issued against him [the suspect] by the competent investigating judge," their statement read.
ICTS said it would continue conducting "qualitative operations" to track down wanted ISIS members and remnants.
The statement comes as the paramilitary Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) on Sunday conducted a "search and raid" operation in Hawija, located to the south of Kirkuk province, to pursue ISIS sleeper cells in the region.
The PMF also launched a "search and raid" operation in the neighboring Salahaddin province on Tuesday in coordination with Iraqi federal and local police. The joint operation targeted areas to the south of Samara city and the outskirts of Dujail district for a total of 160 square kilometers.
The operation was to "resolve security gaps," commander of PMF’s 43rd brigade Mufid Mohammed Ali told state-owned Iraqi News Agency (INA).
"The participating forces are employing modern methods for inspection and reconnaissance, including the use of drones, while maintaining continuous coordination with the intelligence cell to exchange information and monitor security developments," Ali said.
PMF hasn’t disclosed the results of its security Tuesday security operation as of the writing of this report.
In late October, the PMF said ISIS "targeted a thermal imaging camera" in an attack that the PMF said it successfully thwarted.
ISIS and its remnants have continued posing a security threat despite their territorial defeat in late 2017. Their primary areas of operations include the disputed territories, particularly Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... Salahaddin, Diyala, and Nineveh, exploiting a coordination gap between Kurdish and Iraqi security forces.
In early October, a group of "unidentified button men" attacked a PMF checkpoint in Hawija district, killing one and injuring three other members. The attack came weeks after another PMF member was killed and another was maimed in what the organization described as a "terrorist attack" in Kirkuk.
Mazen Gharib, a politician from the Iraqi parliament security and defense committee, told Rudaw at the time that movement of ISIS bully boyz and Hawija and Daquq "have increased, and they even have active detachments."
"In the areas of Sargaran, Daquq, and Tuz Khurmatu, there is a gap 170 kilometers long and 8 to 10 kilometers wide," Gharib said, warning that reedbeds and valleys provide concealment for bully boyz and runaways wanted for serious crimes.
[Rudaw] 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... launched fresh attacks on the Kurdistan Region early Wednesday, targeting a Komala headquarters in northeast Erbil with two explosive drones and striking a house in Halabja province, causing property damage but no casualties, according to the Kurdish Iranian opposition group and a security source who spoke to Rudaw.
In a statement, Komala said the attack targeted one of its bases in the Alana valley of Balisan, about 90 kilometers northeast of Erbil, at around 8:45 am on Wednesday. The group identified the weapons as two explosive Shahed drones and said its Peshmerga forces in the area were safe.
"Despite material damage, this attack resulted in no casualties," Komala said, adding that its fighters had escaped unharmed.
Ali Ranjbari, head of Komala's relations, also described the incident as an "Islamic Theocratic Republic's drone attack on Komala Peshmerga," accusing Iran's Revolutionary Guards of continuing their attacks against the group.
Separately, a security source told Rudaw that an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... targeted a house in Tawella, in Halabja province, shortly after 2:00 am on Wednesday. The strike caused heavy damage to the property, but no casualties were reported.
Alwan Abdullah, the owner of the damaged house, told Rudaw's Sazgar Salah that the family did not know what had happened.
"We don't know what happened. We haven't seen any debris. Our house sustained heavy damage; our glass, doors, and windows are all broken," Abdullah said.
Fakhir Nasradin, a Tawella resident, told Rudaw that the incident was accompanied by a loud noise at around 1:10 am.
"It was a loud noise. It was 1:10 am. They were not at home; they were at their orchard," Nasradin said.
Iran has repeatedly targeted Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based in the Kurdistan Region with missiles and drones since February 28, when the United States and Israel launched their military campaign against Tehran. The Kurdistan Region has faced nearly 1,000 drone and missile attacks since the conflict began.
Last month, Iran's ambassador to Iraq, Mohammed Kazem al-e Sadegh, claimed Baghdad had agreed to expel Iranian Kurdish opposition groups from the Kurdistan Region or hand them over to Tehran following a joint security meeting.
However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... an Iraqi official who attended the meeting denied that any such agreement had been reached.
The military pressure on Kurdish opposition groups has coincided with an intensifying crackdown in Iran's Kurdish-majority areas, where authorities have stepped up arrests amid fears of renewed anti-government protests.
The Norway-based Hengaw Organization for Human Rights reported that at least 64 Kurds were arrested in October, accounting for more than half of the 124 arrests it documented across Iran that month.
In a separate report on Tuesday, Hengaw said Iranian intelligence forces had arrested at least seven Kurdish residents, including a Sunni religious leader, in raids in the Kurdish cities of Bukan and Oshnavieh in western Iran, known as Rojhelat.
Tehran has intensified its crackdown across the country, particularly in Kurdish areas, amid concerns that another wave of protests could erupt. Tens of thousands of people have been detained since nationwide protests began in January, with many accused of collaborating with Israel and the United States, which Iran considers its principal adversaries.

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 a rusty 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 group claimed responsibility for carrying out the July 2012 Damascus bombing that killed Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha, Deputy Defense Minister Asef Shawkat, and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmani. It was a driving force behind actions in the Damascus region. It cooperated and conducted joint operations with al-Nusra.

[Jpost] A Palestinian teacher in the West Bank was detained on suspicion of incitement after investigators uncovered months of social media posts allegedly glorifying terrorism.
Israel Police opened an investigation into a Paleostinian schoolteacher in his 30s on suspicion of incitement and expressing support for a terrorist organization following a series of social media posts allegedly glorifying terrorism, police confirmed on Wednesday.
According to police, security agencies have been monitoring social media platforms to identify individuals suspected of inciting violence, supporting terrorism, or glorifying terrorists. The efforts involve cooperation among multiple security agencies, from gathering intelligence on suspects to carrying out arrests and other operations.
After identifying the posts, IDF troops raided the suspect's home in the West Bank village of Tell, arrested him, and transferred him for questioning.
PALESTINIAN TEACHER SUSPECTED OF MONTHS OF ONLINE INCITEMENT TO TERRORISM
Investigators found that the suspect had allegedly spent months publishing social media posts inciting terrorism, praising terrorist organizations, and expressing support for security prisoners, police said.
Among the posts was a photograph of a memorial dedicated to four bandidosbandidos holy warriors who opened fire in an agricultural area near the village, killing Capt. (res.) Benayahu Melet and Maj. Yuval Ezra. The memorial bore the inscription "The Garden of the Martyrs," and the suspect wrote alongside the image: "May Allah have mercy on you, forgive you, accept you, and grant you a place in the highest levels of His paradise."
In another post, he referred to the bandidosbandidos holy warriors as "My brothers, my loved ones, and my cousins, the deaders who sacrificed their lives on the soil of the homeland, charging forward and not retreating."
Investigators also uncovered posts allegedly glorifying the October 7 massacre. In the days following the attack, the suspect shared an illustration depicting a Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... terrorist on a paraglider.
Following his interrogation, the suspect was taken into custody. Police are expected to bring him before a court and request an extension of his detention as the investigation continues.
THREE HEBRON RESIDENTS ARRESTED OVER POSTS PRAISING TERRORIST ATTACK
The investigation comes amid broader efforts by Israeli security forces to identify and arrest individuals suspected of inciting violence online.
Three Hebron residents were arrested overnight on Sunday on suspicion of expressing support on social media for a terrorist attack in the West Bank on Friday, which killed St.-Sgt. Ron Yonatan Roytman and Sgt. Yuval Shai Svilem, as well as for Hamas.
According to police, the suspects shared photographs of the bandidosbandidos holy warriors alongside messages praising them and songs glorifying their actions. One of the suspects referred to the shooting as "Operation Hebron."
Their social media activity was monitored by the IDF's Central Command, and security forces subsequently raided their homes overnight and arrested them.
Police said they would continue taking action against incitement and support for terrorism, both in public spaces and online, particularly posts expressing support for attacks against security forces.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also announced that there was a flying rainbow colored unicorn with Moohamma on it that flew over Tehran.
Frankly anything the IRGC report/announce without verification from at least the WH or some other reliable source(s) can safely be discounted as bullshit!
