In continuation of Pakistani military attacks on Afghan soil, its recent bombardment reportedly targeted a 1,000-bed drug addiction rehabilitation hospital in Kabul, causing dozens of civilian casualties among vulnerable patients and medical staff. Medical facilities are protected under the Geneva Conventions, and targeting them may constitute a war crime under international humanitarian law.
A rehabilitation center treating civilians cannot be considered a military target. The international community should take this seriously. An independent investigation and accountability are essential to uphold international law and protect civilians.
The building’s entire structure is still intact. If it had been bombed with JDAM/Bomb, it would’ve been levelled. It probably caught fire due to the secondary explosions from a nearby arms depot. Unfortunate this happened and even more unfortunate someone placed a rehab next to a ordinance dump.
🚨 BREAKING/UPDATE:
The Kabul site is NOT a drug rehab center, again, but to be clear, this was a Taliban weapons and ammo storage site, NOT a drug rehabilitation center. 🤦♀️
Western observers are describing today’s Pakistani strikes in Kabul as the heaviest since the conflict began. Multiple terrorist locations were targeted across the city, including areas in the heart of the Afghan capital and around the Red Zone.

[Regnum] The Iranian army struck an ammunition depot at the US military base in Dhafra, UAE. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported this on March 16.
They added that the attack resulted in a powerful explosion at the base, forcing the US military to relocate its fighter jets stationed in Ad-Dhafra. A complete evacuation of the military personnel stationed at the base was also carried out.
The IRGC noted that this is a central US military base. The strike was carried out by the Corps' naval forces.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran. Attacks included civilian targets and the homes of several of the country's leaders. Iran launched a large-scale retaliatory operation using missiles and drones.
On March 13, the IRGC announced strikes on 10 sites believed to house Israeli leadership. That same day, IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Majid Mousavi announced that Iran had launched its most powerful attack on Israeli territory, using super-heavy ballistic missiles. He stated that a total of 30 missiles, weighing between 1 and 2 tons, were launched at specific targets in the occupied territories.

[Regnum] Several powerful explosions occurred near the Al Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad. Al Hadath TV reported this on March 16, citing a source in the Iraqi security forces.
It is specified that several explosions occurred in the “green zone”, where government buildings are located, as well as the embassies of several foreign countries.
It is noted that air raid sirens are sounding at the United States Embassy, which is also located in the "green zone."
According to the source, the Al Rasheed Hotel was attacked by a drone; there were no casualties or injuries as a result of the explosion.
Earlier, the American embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, was attacked on the morning of March 14. It is believed that the target was the air defense systems located on the embassy's premises in Baghdad.
The US diplomatic mission in Iraq on Monday reiterated its urgent call on American citizens to "leave Iraq now" and avoid heading to the US embassy in Baghdad or the consulate in Erbil, citing an escalation in attacks by Iran-aligned gangs and warning that US nationals face a "risk of kidnapping."
The warning came shortly after a top commander of a powerful Iran-backed Iraqi gang, Kata’ib Hezbollah, was confirmed dead, reportedly killed in a US strike in Baghdad late last week.
In a statement on X, the US embassy in Baghdad said that "Iran-aligned terrorist militias have incited and carried out attacks against U.S. citizens and U.S.-linked targets throughout Iraq, including the Iraqi Kurdistan Region (IKR)."
"U.S. citizens must leave Iraq immediately," it added, urging Americans not to attempt travel to the US Embassy in Baghdad or the Consulate in Erbil due to ongoing security risks. The warning comes amid "repeated attacks" in the heavily fortified Green Zone, where the American embassy is located, as well as incidents targeting Erbil International Airport and the US Consulate General in the Kurdish capital.
The embassy further advised that US citizens should leave Iraq now and avoid traveling to the country, warning they "face the risk of kidnapping" and noting that "U.S. individuals have been specifically targeted." It also cautioned that "Iran-aligned militias may hinder the ability of Iraqi authorities to respond effectively during emergencies."
Notably, shortly after the warning, video footage reportedly showing the embassy’s C-RAM defenses intercepting what is believed to be an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) surfaced online.

The American diplomatic mission’s warning - the second of its kind within 48 hours - notably came against the backdrop of Iraq’s pro-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... Kata’ib Hezbollah announcing on Monday that its spokesperson and security bigshot, Abu Ali al-Askari, was killed.
"We announce to you the martyrdom of Hajj Abu Ali al-Askari," Kata’ib Hezbollah said in a statement by leader Ahmad al-Hamidawi, known as Abu Hussein, published by Sabreen News, a channel affiliated with Iranian-backed factions of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF).
A security official told AFP that “Abu Ali al-Askari is Abu Ali al-Amiri, the commander who was killed in a strike on Baghdad on Saturday.”
Kataeb Hezbollah referred to Askari as the group’s security chief. He was also the spokesperson in charge of issuing all key statements in the group’s name. The last was released on March 7, following the killing of Iran’s supreme leader.
According to the group’s statement, Askari will be replaced by Abou Moujahed al-Assaf as the new security chief.
Noted.
Kataeb Hezbollah was the group responsible for kidnapping Israeli Elizabeth Tsurkov in Baghdad in March 2023, and held her hostage until she was released in September 2025.
Reacting to the news on Monday, Tsurkov wrote on X that Askari “was personally involved in keeping me captive and spreading hilarious lies about me, even after my release.”
She said he was “killed by the United States for [Kataeb Hezbollah]’s targeting of US interests in Iraq & neighboring countries. KH also killed hundreds of American servicemen. But most of the blood this man had on his hands was that of Arabs: Iraqis and Syrians.”

[Regnum] The death toll among members of the Shiite Hashd al-Shaabi militia has risen to eight as a result of an airstrike near the Iraqi-Syrian border. The Iraqi Armed Forces press service reported this on March 16.
It was reported that positions of the 18th militia brigade near the city of Al-Qaim in the Iraqi border province of Anbar were attacked from the air. At least seven people were wounded. Brigade headquarters also noted that a medical unit serving with the militia was hit by the airstrike.
The command's statement noted that the attack on regular Iraqi troops is viewed by the country's authorities as an encroachment on the state's sovereignty.
The Hashd al-Shaabi militia is officially part of the Iraqi army and reports directly to the country's prime minister. However, from the US perspective, it is a pro-Iranian structure allegedly financed by the authorities in Tehran.
[Rudaw] Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) said on Monday that one of its positions at a checkpoint on the Iraq-Syria border in western Anbar province was hit by an Israeli strike, killing six fighters and injuring four others.
The PMF said its position at the Martyr Haider checkpoint in Anbar province’s al-Qaim district was hit by a "Zionist attack," resulting in the killing of six of its fighters and the injury of four others.
Some PMF factions have carried out drone and missile attacks on US diplomatic missions and military bases in Iraq in support of 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.

They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... in its ongoing war with the United States and Israel. In response, several PMF bases - part of a force that was once a paramilitary group but is now integrated into the Iraqi state forces - have been targeted, resulting in dozens of casualties. Some of these strikes have been blamed on the US, though neither Washington nor Tel Aviv has grabbed credit.
"The bombing was by warplane and directly targeted the Popular Mobilization Forces security room at the checkpoint," at 3:30 pm, Abdullah al-Jughaifi, advisor to the security and defense committee of Anbar’s provincial council, told Rudaw.
Jughaifi said that in the same attack, a member of Anbar’s emergency police force affiliated with the Iraqi interior ministry who was at the checkpoint was maimed, along with two civilians.
More than two dozen fighters from the PMF were killed in suspected US strikes on their bases in Anbar and central Kirkuk province on Thursday.
Kataib Hezbollah in late February called on its fighters to prepare for what it described as a potential "war of attrition that may be long-term, exceeding the estimates of the US administration."
Kataib Hezbollah has said that the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...> during Israeli strikes at the onset of the war had made undermining the security of US assets and expelling them from the region a top priority for Iran-aligned Iraqi gangs.

[IsraelTimes] IDF begins ‘targeted ground op’ to expand south Lebanon buffer against Hezbollah; Katz says displaced Lebanese will not return to area until residents of Israel’s north are safe
A Hezbollah rocket impacted in northern Israel on Monday evening, sparking a fire and wounding several people, hours after the IDF announced it was deploying troops further into southern Leb ...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. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration.... Rocket and drone fire from the Lebanese terror group rained down on northern Israel throughout the day, with a rocket impacting in Nahariya shortly after 6 p.m. According to the Magen David Adom ambulance service, the rocket in Nahariya maimed six people, including two adults and four minors who were treated for signs of smoke inhalation after a fire was sparked by the impact.
All six were listed in good condition after being treated.
At another impact site, near Kibbutz Kabri, a man in his 40s was listed in light-to-moderate condition after being hit by a blast, MDA said.
Throughout Monday morning, sirens had sounded in the Galilee Panhandle and in communities near the Lebanon border, amid rocket fire by the terror group. There were no reports of injuries in those attacks.
The IDF said earlier Monday that it had begun a "targeted ground operation against key targets" in southern Lebanon, pushing more forces deeper into the area as part of an expanded buffer zone, after Hezbollah began attacking Israel earlier this month amid the US-Israeli war with Iran. Defense Minister Israel Katz said the operation would continue until Hezbollah no longer poses a threat to the residents of northern Israel, and said displaced Lebanese would not return to their homes until then.
The 91st "Galilee" Regional Division began a raid late Saturday in the eastern sector of southern Lebanon, during which troops encountered and killed several Hezbollah operatives, according to the military.
The IDF said the operation was aimed at expanding "the forward defense area."
"This operation is part of the effort to establish forward defense, including the destruction of terror infrastructure and the elimination of holy warriors operating in the area, to remove threats and create an additional layer of security for residents of the north," the military said.
Before the troops pushed into the area, the IDF said it carried out massive Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s and artillery shelling "to remove threats."
Meanwhile, the 146th Reserve Division remains deployed to the western sector of southern Lebanon, and the 36th Division has been carrying out a raid in the eastern sector.
The defense minister, after holding an assessment with army brass, said: "The IDF has begun a ground maneuver in Lebanon to remove threats and protect the residents of the Galilee and the north."
"Hundreds of thousands of Shiite residents of south Lebanon who have evacuated and are evacuating from their homes will not return to the area south of the Litani [River] until the safety of the residents of the north is guaranteed," Katz said.
He added that the operation in south Lebanon is meant to resemble the military’s operations 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 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 ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... during its two-year war against Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... . Katz said that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have told the military to destroy terror infrastructure close to the border in order to prevent Hezbollah’s return, "just as was done against Hamas in Rafah, Beit Hanoun, and the terror tunnels in Gaza."
The defense minister vowed to restore a sense of security to the residents of northern Israel, saying that Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem ... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies... is hiding underground as his actions make over a million Lebanese "refugees in their own country."
The IDF has been preparing to deploy more forces in southern Lebanon and further expand its buffer zone to push away the threat of Hezbollah from the border.
Multiple recent reports have indicated that Israel is planning a large-scale ground operation in southern Lebanon aimed at uprooting Hezbollah. Defense Minister Israel Katz has even threatened to seize territory there.
In recent days, there have also been several reports of plans for direct talks between Israel and the Lebanese national government, which has previously pledged to crack down on the terror group. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has denied such plans, despite reports citing Israeli officials.
Since March 2, when Hezbollah began attacking Israel in response to the killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...> , the terror group has launched around 100 rockets a day, according to the IDF, as well as more than a hundred drones over the entire period. The IDF has said that Hezbollah is launching most of its attacks from deeper within southern Lebanon, and not from close to the border.
Overnight Sunday-Monday, the IDF said it had launched a new wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut.
[AnNahar] Hezbollah said it launched an attack on Monday targeting the northern Israeli city of Nahariya, where Israeli first responders reported a man was wounded.
Hezbollah said in a statement that its fighters targeted Nahariya "with a barrage of rockets and a swarm of attack drones".
[IsraelTimes] Five missile attacks target north, center, south and Jerusalem; woman lightly injured after impact on home in Rishon Lezion; fragments land near Knesset, Church of Holy Sepulchre
Iran fired several salvos of missiles at Israel on Monday, with impacts damaging homes and an apparent cluster bomb injuring one person in the central region of the country.
The Iranians launched five barrages at Israel after midnight and into the afternoon. Though air defense systems worked to shoot down the missiles, some warheads impacted on residential areas, as did debris and fragments from interceptions.
Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth had turned a paler shade of blue. Star-A-Star had struck again... the Israel Defense Forces said it launched extensive strikes on Iran, destroying slain former supreme leader Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...> ’s private jet, and a space research center.
The Iranian attacks on Israel set off sirens in the north, central, and southern regions, and in two attacks, also in Jerusalem. Multiple impact sites were reported across central Israel, including a home in Rishon Lezion. On Thursday afternoon, a man in Jerusalem was lightly maimed after touching a missile fragment, and there was damage to several buildings from falling fragments.
The Fire and Rescue service said a large chunk from an intercepted missile struck a home in East Jerusalem, causing damage. Other fragments landed near the National Library, which is close to the Knesset, and in the Old City, near the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
During the attacks, another warhead hit a home in the central region town of Shoham, causing serious damage, while a third impacted on Route 431, forcing the closure of one lane.
The attacks came as the Israeli Air Force launched a new wave of "extensive" Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s in Tehran, Shiraz, and Tabriz, the IDF announced. The military said the strikes were targeting Iranian regime infrastructure sites.
Among the targets hit and destroyed was an Iranian space facility in Tehran. The site was used to develop various military space programs, including the Chamran-1 satellite, as well as "capabilities to strike satellites, posing a threat to the State of Israel’s satellites and to space assets of other countries around the world," the military said. The military released images showing the site before and after the strike.
Earlier, the military said the IAF struck and destroyed Khamenei’s aircraft at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport overnight. The IDF said the plane had been used by Khamenei and other top Iranian officials "to advance military procurement and manage relations with axis countries through domestic and international flights."
The military added that the destruction of the "strategic asset" is a blow to Iran’s "coordination capabilities" with proxy groups, its "building of military power, and the regime’s rehabilitation capabilities."
Khamenei and 40 other top Iranian figures were killed in the opening strikes of a joint US-Israeli air campaign against Iran that began on February 28. Iran has responded by firing missiles at countries hosting US bases in the Middle East, and Israel.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran had shown it was ready to take the war with Israel and the United States as far as necessary.
"I think by now they have learned a good lesson and understood what kind of nation they are dealing with, one that does not hesitate to defend itself and is ready to continue the war wherever it may lead, and take it as far as necessary," said Araghchi during a weekly foreign ministry briefing.
142 INJURED IN 24 HOURS
The Health Ministry reported that over the past 24 hours, 142 injured people were taken to hospitals as a result of the conflict with Iran. Among those treated in hospitals, three were in moderate condition, and 134 were in good condition. Five were treated for anxiety. The ministry did not give a breakdown of the causes of injuries, and some may have been sustained by people trying to reach shelter rather than as a direct result of missile fire from Iran or rocket fire from Leb ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects.... The ministry said that since the beginning of the war with Iran on February 28, 3,369 people have been admitted to hospitals, 81 of whom are currently hospitalized. Among those hospitalized, one person is at death's door, seven are at death's door, 14 are in moderate condition, and 59 are in good condition. The ministry’s figures included both civilians and soldiers.

Rumors and propaganda. Iron Dome is shooting down the missiles. X is crawling with bots spewing fake AI footage with the theme "Tel Aviv is on fire" Right along with "Netanyahu is dead" LOL. Jew haters cling to anything, it's why conspiracy theories are so popular.
[Foxnews] Top Iranian official, commander killed in strike, Israel defense minister says: US government previously offered reward for information on Larijani
Fox News' chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst reports on the death of Iranian official Ali Larijani in overnight strikes. A senior Israeli official confirmed the intelligence leading up to the strikes were part of joint U.S.-Israeli efforts.
Iranian Supreme National Security Council secretary Ali Larijani and Basij Commander Gholamreza Soleimani have both been killed, according to the Israel Defense Forces and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
"I have just been updated by the Chief of Staff that Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and the head of the Basij — Iran’s central repression apparatus — Salimani, were eliminated last night and have joined Khamenei, the head of the annihilation program, along with all those eliminated from the axis of evil in the depths of hell," Katz said, according to a translation provided to Fox News by his office.
The news comes more than two weeks since Israel launched a war against the Islamic Republic of Iran in conjunction with U.S. President Donald Trump.
"Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and the regime’s effective leader, has been eliminated," the Israel Defense Forces noted in a post on X. Much more, including pictures at link
"There’s a real upheaval in Iran... President Pezeshkian is considering resigning from his post."
Channel 14's Senior Iran Analyst @DBalazada
explains what inside sources tell him is happening today inside the government:
Pezeshkian is reportedly "exceptionally angry" at the Revolutionary Guards, accusing them of "reckless" conduct. He claims the failure to protect Ali Larijani was not negligence, but a deliberate move to ensure his elimination.

[AnNahar] Hezbollah said it targeted overnight Israeli troops in Khiam, Odaisseh and al-Taybeh. It also targeted troops and bases in the occupied Golan and north of Kfar Yuval in the Galilee Panhandle of northern Israel.
Troops were also trying to enter Lebanese territories from the southern border towns of Yaroun and Maroun al-Ras, state-run National News Agency said.
Hezbollah published Monday a video of its fighters attacking troops in a Merkava tank on the outskirts of the southern border town of Markaba with guided missiles.
The Israeli army had said it sent additional ground troops into Lebanon for what it called a "limited and targeted operation."
Military spokesman Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani said the latest deployment is meant to defend Israeli border communities against attacks from Hezbollah.
Shoshani said Israel carried out artillery and airstrikes on multiple sites before sending in the troops.
Earlier in the war, Israel beefed up the presence of ground troops inside Lebanon in what it says is an attempt to prevent attacks on its northern border towns.
On Sunday night, Hezbollah targeted the Meron air base with a swarm of drones and attacked Kiryat Shmona, and Avivim with two salvos of missiles.
[AnNahar] Seven people, including children, were killed by Israeli airstrikes on south Lebanon Monday.
A strike on a home in the southern village of Kfar Sir had killed one person early Monday. Another strike occurred after paramedics from the Islamic Health Society, Hezbollah’s health arm, arrived at the scene, killing two paramedics and wounding another person.
The health ministry later said that a strike on the southern town of al-Qantara killed a family of four, including two children.
Israeli strikes have deepened Lebanon's humanitarian crisis, with more than 850 people killed and over 850,000 displaced.
Israel has been using the double-tap strike tactic in Lebanon, killing first responders who gather at the hit location.
An Israeli strike killed Saturday 12 doctors, paramedics and nurses working at a healthcare center in the town of Burj Qalaway.
On Monday, the Israeli army struck several towns and villages in south Lebanon including Yater, Habboush, Nabatieh, al-Sultaniyyeh, Burj Qalaway, al-Taybeh, Jabal al-Botm, Shaqra and Aitit. Reports said the strike on Aitit targeted paramedics.
[AnNahar] State Commissioner to the Military Court, Judge Claude Ghanem, on Monday filed charges against four more Hezbollah members for possessing and transporting military weapons, media reports said.
Two of them had been arrested in Ashrafieh, where guns and rifles were found inside their car. According to initial investigations, they were heading south, Al-Jadeed TV said.
The two other members were also indicted on felony charges after an army search at a checkpoint in the southern town of Kfarhouna revealed the presence of weapons and 21 122mm rockets inside a van they were traveling in, which was also heading toward the southern border, Al-Jadeed added.
Lebanese authorities have been seeking to pressure Hezbollah after Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2 when the Tehran-backed group's attack on Israel in response to the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in U.S.-Israeli strikes.
A judicial official told AFP that the judge has referred the case "to the first investigating judge in Beirut... requesting they be questioned and arrest warrants issued."
