It’s a tight focus on the front edge of the wave in her hair over her right eyebrow, so everything farther away from the lens is increasingly blurred. There was a lot of that kind of thing with the older movie star glamour shots.

Always liked her, but this isn't a great example of her natural beauty and quirky personality. It does tell me where Nancy Pelosi got her eyebrow ideas.

Chad closes border with Sudan, orders military alert after drone attack
By Zagazola Makama
The Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno has ordered the immediate closure of Chad’s border with Sudan and placed the military on maximum alert following a reported drone attack on Chadian territory.
The directive was issued after an emergency defence and security council meeting convened late on March 18 at the presidential palace in Ndjamena.
According to sources, the decision followed what authorities described as a fresh incursion involving Sudanese drones into Chadian territory, heightening tensions along the shared border.
The meeting was attended by the Prime Minister, Allamaye Halina, senior government officials, top military commanders and heads of security agencies.
During the session, Deby Itno reviewed Chad’s diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict in Sudan, noting that multiple mediation attempts had failed to bring peace between the warring parties.
He expressed concern over the humanitarian burden the conflict has imposed on Chad, as well as the spillover of intercommunal tensions across the border due to shared ethnic and social ties.

While terrorist groups may rely on asymmetric tactics in irregular warfare, air power remains the ultimate equalizer. The latest air strike that wiped out over 60 ISWAP fighters attempting to infiltrate a military base proves it. In this footage over 80 insurgents were neutralized.
Air power is the capability the enemy can neither meet with parity nor counter in kind. It is air power that provides our fighting forces with highly asymmetric advantages in an irregular warfare environment.
Just 12 A-29 Super Tucanos, purpose built for COIN Ops have held the line for years. But their limited numbers will always leave gaps in air coverage that terrorists can exploit. But not for long. The incoming 24 M-346FA fighter jets will close that gap and add real strategic depth to NAF airpower. With more assets in the sky, there will be faster air support for troops on the ground and more sustained pressure on terrorist positions.
[IsraelTimes] Dubai says it successfully fended off an Iranian aerial attack, after heavy explosions shook the United Arab Emirates city in the early morning.
“Authorities in Dubai confirm the success of all air interception operations, with no injuries reported,” says the Dubai Media Office, the sheikhdom’s government communication’s arm.
The attack came as mosques made the day’s first call to prayers for Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
Kuwait’s Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery hit by drone attack, sparking fire
[IsraelTimes] Kuwait’s state oil firm KPC says its Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery was hit by multiple drone attacks early this morning, causing a fire in some units, with no initial casualties reported, the state news agency says.
Firefighters responded immediately, with several units shut down as a precaution to ensure workers’ safety.
Gulf states say responding to missile, drone attacks
[IsraelTimes] Emirati and Kuwaiti air defenses are responding to missile fire, authorities in the Gulf states say, while Saudi Arabia intercepts drone attacks.
Elsewhere in the Gulf, Bahrain’s interior ministry says that shrapnel from an “Iranian aggression” caused a fire at a warehouse, which was brought under control and resulted in no injuries.
The ministry earlier said air raid sirens were activated.
In Kuwait, an army statement says air defenses were “responding to hostile missile and drone threats,” while the UAE state media reports “incoming missile and drone threats from Iran.”
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says in a statement carried by the Tasnim news agency that they had targeted US forces in the UAE’s Al-Dhafra air base as well as sites in Israel with missiles and drones.
There are no immediate reports of any casualties.
Saudi Arabia’s defense ministry says that within less than two hours, its forces had “intercepted and destroyed” 10 drones in the country’s east and another in the north.
[IsraelTimes] United Arab Emirates authorities say they have dismantled what they call a terrorist network funded and operated by Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group and by Iran, and arrested its members.
According to the state news agency, the network was involved in “money laundering, financing terrorism and threatening national security.”
“The network had been operating within the country under a fictitious commercial cover and sought to infiltrate the national economy and carry out external schemes threatening the country’s financial stability,” the agency says.
There is no immediate comment from Hezbollah or Iran.

[KavkazUzel] While serving his sentence in a penal colony in Stavropol, Alimardon Karimov swore an oath of allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State* terrorist organization.
The case of the Tajik citizen was heard by the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don. Karimov was charged with participating in the activities of a terrorist organization (Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Russian Criminal Code carries a sentence of ten to twenty years in prison).
The case was investigated by FSB officers for the Stavropol Krai, according to a statement from the regional prosecutor's office. According to the prosecution, while in prison, the man "joined the ranks of a terrorist organization banned in Russia and expressed his willingness to act in its interests."
On May 24, 2023, Karimov, who was being held in a penal colony in Stavropol, made an audio recording in which he swore allegiance to the leader of the international terrorist organization Islamic State*, promising to "unquestioningly carry out his orders." That same day, he sent the recording to an unidentified person, who then passed it on to the ISIS leader, who then accepted the oath, according to the press service of the Southern District Military Court.
The court sentenced the Tajik citizen to 15 years in prison, with the first three years to be served in a penal colony and the remainder to be served in a special regime penal colony.
Karimov was born in the Nurabad district of Tajikistan and turned 32 on February 24, according to his entry in the Rosfinmonitoring register of terrorists and extremists. Alimardon Karimov's details were added to the list on December 29, 2025, according to a Telegram bot tracking updates to the list.
[IsraelTimes] Multiple drones identified on single night over Fort McNair, sources tell Washington Post; US secretary of state and Pentagon chief have remained on site
US officials detected unidentified drones above an army base in Washington where US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth live, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing three people briefed on the situation.
The officials have not determined where the drones came from, the report said, citing two of the sources.
But the drones’ detection comes as the US military is monitoring potential threats more closely because of a heightened alert level over the US-Israeli war with Iran, the report said. Since the beginning of the war on February 28, 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... has retaliated with missile and drone barrages at Israel and countries across the region.
The drones’ sighting over Fort McNair prompted officials to weigh relocating Rubio and Hegseth, the report said. However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... the secretaries have not moved, the report added, citing a senior administration official.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the incident, said it occurred within the past 10 days, and that multiple drones were detected on the same night.
According to the report, officials locked down facilities twice this week at another base, the MacDill Air Force Base, home to US Central Command, which is responsible for US military operations against Iran, due to a suspicious package and an unspecified incident.
The Pentagon and the US State Department did not respond to requests for comment. Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell declined to discuss the drones with the Washington Post.
"The department cannot comment on [Hegseth’s] movements for security reasons, and reporting on such movements is grossly irresponsible," he told the Post.
INCIDENT ILLUSTRATES THREAT FROM NON-MILITARY DRONES: EXPERT
The drone infiltration in Washington, DC, exemplifies the potential threat from readily available, non-military drones, said an expert who spoke with The Times of Israel.
Kateryna Bondar, a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington, DC, research institute, warned about potential threats from off-the-shelf drones in an interview with The Times of Israel on Wednesday.
Bondar is a former adviser to the Ukrainian government who has studied drone warfare in Ukraine and written about Iranian drone warfare.
She said that Iran probably cannot attack the US homeland with its military drones, but that bad actors could utilize commercially available drones from within the US.
"A threat that everyone here is underestimating is bringing a striking capability here," she said. "Not only Iran, but anyone can do that, especially taking into account that the US doesn’t have any internal countermeasures."
Assailants could bring a drone to within a couple of kilometers of a target, so the short, speedy flight would evade air defenses, she said.
"It will take a minute, and no air defense will be able to react. Even if they want to strike a military facility, nothing can react and intercept that," she said. "It’s small. Radars are not adapted to this kind of identification. They look like birds."
After the drone scare over Fort McNair, Bondar said, "This is what I mean when thinking of a realistic scenario of a drone threat."
On Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that the State Department ordered all US diplomatic posts worldwide to immediately begin security evaluations, citing developments in the Middle East and "the potential for spillover effects."

[IsraelTimes] Four people were maimed Thursday evening as a Hezbollah rocket from Leb ...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.... hit a home in Kiryat Shmona, and an Iranian missile fragment hit Haifa’s oil refinery, causing damage but no injuries, amid the Israeli-American war with Iran.
Fourteen missile salvos — more than in recent days — were fired Thursday at central, northern and southern Israel, as well as the Jerusalem area, where four sirens sounded within an hour around midnight. Meanwhile,
...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact... the Iran-backed Hezbollah kept up its frequent rocket and drone attacks on the north.
After the direct hit in the northern city of Kiryat Shmona in the evening, the Magen David Adom (MDA) ambulance service said it had treated a man in his 60s at death's door who sustained a shrapnel injury to his abdomen, a woman aged 68 in moderate condition who was injured in the head, and two men in their 20s who were lightly hurt by a blast.
All four were taken to a hospital, MDA said.
BAZAN OIL REFINERY HIT Meanwhile,
...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact... one of Iran’s volleys of ballistic missiles toward the north on Thursday evening saw falling fragments from an intercepted missile hit the Bazan oil refinery in Haifa and cause power outages in the Krayot suburbs of the coastal city, according to the IDF.
Rescue services said there were no reports of injuries.
The military stressed that there had been no direct missile impacts at the facility. Energy Minister Eli Cohen said that "no significant damage to infrastructure sites" had been caused in the attack.
The Israel Fire and Rescue Service said the incident was under full control after 12 fire and rescue teams operated at the scene, scanned it and put out a fire at the site, with no casualties and no abnormal air pollution found. The Environmental Protection Ministry said the possibility of a hazardous materials incident had been ruled out.
Separately, footage showed a burning missile fragment crashing down in a Haifa street amid an Iranian attack shortly after midnight. No injuries were reported in the incident.
Israel has also continued to carry out regular Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on military and regime targets throughout Iran.
The military said Thursday night that the Israeli Air Force had hit over 130 targets in western and central 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 the past day, adding that the targets included ballistic missile launchers, drones and air defense systems.
EASED RESTRICTIONS IN PARTS OF NORTH, SOUTH
Also on Thursday evening, the IDF Home Front Command said it was set to ease wartime restrictions in more areas of the country deemed to be under less of a threat of Iran’s ballistic missiles or Hezbollah’s rocket attacks, allowing schools to reopen there after three weeks of war.
Following a fresh assessment, the Home Front Command said that from Sunday at 6 a.m., the activity scale in several more areas in the north and south would be adjusted from "limited activity" to "partial activity." (A full list of locales can be found on the Home Front Command’s website).
This means that in those areas, educational institutions will be able to operate, provided there is an adequate shelter that can be reached in time. Gatherings of up to 100 people indoors and 50 people outdoors will also be permitted, under the same conditions.
In the rest of the country, educational activities are still prohibited. Gatherings are limited to 50 people, provided a shelter can be reached in time, and workplaces can operate under the same conditions.
[IsraelTimes] Iran fired eight separate salvos of ballistic missiles at Israel between midnight and noon on Thursday, but there were no reports of damage or injuries as a direct result. Another salvo followed in the afternoon.
The attacks set off warning sirens in northern and central Israel, and in the Jerusalem area, sending millions to bomb shelters. They came the morning after cluster munitions fired by Iran killed a 30-year-old foreign worker in central Israel and four Palestinian women in the southern West Bank.
The Health Ministry reported Thursday that over the previous 24 hours, 177 injured people had been taken to hospitals as a result of the war. The ministry did not give a breakdown of the causes of injuries, and some might have been sustained by people trying to reach shelter rather than as a direct result of missile fire from Iran or rocket fire from Lebanon.
Among those treated in hospitals, one was in critical condition, two were in moderate condition, and 167 were in good condition. One person had been treated for anxiety.
The ministry also said that since the beginning of the war, on February 2, 3,924 people have been admitted to hospitals, 74 of whom were currently hospitalized.

[IsraelTimes] Kouroush Keyvani was arrested during June war and convicted of providing Israeli spy agency with information about ‘sensitive locations’
Iran executed a man accused of spying for Israel, the judiciary’s Mizan news agency said on Wednesday, in the first such execution announced since the war with Israel and the United States broke out on February 28.
"The death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... of a spy for the Zionist regime, who had been providing images and information, about the country’s sensitive locations to Mosssd ...sees all, knows all, gets 'em all in the end... officers was carried out this morning," the Mizan Online website said.
Mizan identified the man as Kouroush Keyvani and said he was arrested during Iran’s 12-day war with Israel last June.
It listed details of his alleged meetings with agents from Israel’s Mossad spy agency and said he received training in "six European countries and in Tel Aviv."
Locked in a decades-long shadow war with Israel, Iran has executed scores of people it has accused of links to Mossad and of facilitating its operations inside the country.
The most recent execution of a man Iran accused of spying for Israel was on January 7. Mizan named the accused as Ali Ardestani.
[IsraelTimes] Following the recent round of Iranian ballistic missile fire targeting northern Israel, the IDF says it has launched a new wave of airstrikes in the Iranian capital.
It says the strikes are targeting “infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime across Tehran.”
[IsraelTimes] Two RT crew members lightly hurt at Qasmiya Bridge; IDF reiterates call for civilians to heed its warnings; Hezbollah keeps up attacks on Israel, as IDF forges ahead with ground op
Journalists reporting from an area of south Leb ...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?... that Israel had warned it would target were lightly injured in an Israel Defense Forces strike there on Thursday, as Hezbollah continued firing rockets and drones and Israeli troops moved ever-deeper into the territory.
Footage showed an English-language correspondent for the Russian channel RT reporting from the Litani River in southern Lebanon when an Israeli strike hit close by him.
In the video, the news hound can be seen speaking to the camera before suddenly ducking away just seconds before the strike. The camera is then knocked down to the ground by the force of the blast.
RT later said that Lebanon bureau chief Steve Sweeney and the camera operator were lightly maimed in the strike.
"Guys, we are fine. Turns out you can hear the missile when it’s flying at you," said cameraman Ali Rida, according to TASS.
On Wednesday, the IDF had warned it was expected to strike bridges over the Litani due to "Hezbollah movements under civilian cover."
After the footage was published from Thursday’s strike, the IDF issued a statement saying the incident had happened at Qasmiya Bridge, stressing that the crossing — alongside others — has been used by Hezbollah for military purposes and had been included in its Wednesday warning.
The army said it struck the bridge area twice, including around 12:30 p.m. on Thursday.
"The IDF calls on the residents of Lebanon to heed the warnings published on various platforms. The IDF does not target civilians or journalists and operates in accordance with international law," it said.
ROCKET FIRE PERSISTS
Hezbollah kept up its frequent rocket and drone fire at Israel and IDF forces in southern Lebanon on Thursday, though with no reports of injuries or major damage.
In recent days, Hezbollah has been firing an average of about 150 rockets per day, according to the IDF.
Roughly two-thirds of the daily rocket fire has been directed at Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon and along the border, with the remaining third aimed at Israel.
CLASHES IN SOUTHERN LEBANON
The IDF announced on Monday that it had launched "limited" ground operations in Lebanon.
A Lebanese military source told AFP on Thursday that the Israeli army was advancing slowly and "systematically destroying" the border villages it enters.
More than 20 Hezbollah operatives were killed by ground troops and in Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s amid the operations in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, the IDF said on Thursday.
In one incident, soldiers of the Golani Brigade identified a cell of Hezbollah operatives attempting to fire anti-tank missiles at the forces. The IDF said the troops killed five operatives in that incident.
The military said ground troops also located numerous weapons, including RPGs and anti-tank missiles.
The IDF has been preparing to deploy even more forces in southern Lebanon and further expand its buffer zone to push away the threat of Hezbollah from the border. Israel has issued warnings to all residents south of the Zahrani River, more than 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the border — and north of the Litani — to evacuate, and has said it wants to create a buffer zone in Lebanon to protect residents of northern Israel.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported a "violent mostly peaceful night" in Khiam and Taybeh, saying the towns were "targeted by several airstrikes and subjected to heavy artillery shelling that continued until dawn" on Thursday.
In recent days, Hezbollah has reported targeting Israeli forces on the border with Lebanon and inside Lebanese towns such as Khiam.
The town overlooks part of southern Lebanon and northern Israel and was the first point into which Israeli forces advanced at the start of the war. It was also the site of intense festivities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah during their last war in 2024.
The Lebanese military source on the ground, who requested anonymity, told AFP that Israeli soldiers "have almost captured the town."
"They advance one or two kilometers a day and take the time to systematically destroy the towns they enter, such as Kfar Kila or Aitaroun," he added. "They bulldoze what is not destroyed by airstrikes or artillery," while "they are engaged in ground fighting against Hezbollah, whose men are fighting in small groups."
Lebanon’s health ministry claimed Thursday that Israeli attacks had killed 1,001 people in the country since Hezbollah initiated the war’s resumption on March 2, raising a previous toll of 968 a day earlier.
The new ministry statement claimed the toll included 79 women, 118 children and 40 health workers, with 2,584 other people maimed.

[Regnum] Iranian air defense systems shot down an American F-35 fighter jet, seriously damaging the aircraft. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced this on March 19.
"An F-35 fighter jet from the US Army was hit at 2:50 a.m. this morning by the IRGC Aerospace Force's new advanced air defense system and sustained serious damage," the statement, quoted by Iran's Fars news agency, said.
It is noted that the plane was shot down in the central part of Iran, its fate is unknown, and the probability of a crash is high.
CNN previously claimed, citing the US Central Command, that an F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at an American base.
The IRGC previously reported that its naval forces had struck the US bases of Minhad and Al-Dhafra in the UAE, the Al-Adairi helicopter base in Kuwait, and Mina Salman in Bahrain, where the US Fifth Fleet is headquartered.

They aren't magic and one might have been pinged, but we haven't lost any yet. Mark I eyeballs and 20mm AAA at low altitude stealth will not defeat.

I'm going with "Surface to air missile with a proximity fuse got close enough to cause some damage that forced the plane to land".
Ask me again in 24 hours.

I would suspect may a volley fire of missiles into a air volume with different altitude proximity fuses might work, but doing so would expose the entire launcher array to immediate FAFO response.

Israeli Defense Forces released footage from yesterday's strikes on Iranian warships in the area of the port of Bandar Anzali located on the Caspian Sea coast.
— Status-6 (War & Military News) (@Archer83Able) March 19, 2026
Text:
Israeli Defense Forces released footage from yesterday's strikes on Iranian warships in the area of the port of Bandar Anzali located on the Caspian Sea coast.
Among the targets appears to be the Moudge-class frigate IRIS Deylaman (1st clip), an unofficial flagship of Iran's Northern Fleet.
The second warship of the same class, IRIS Dena, was sunk by the U.S. Navy Los Angeles-class submarine USS Charlotte near the southern coast of Sri Lanka two weeks ago.
Overnight Israeli strikes at the Iranian port city of Bandar Anzali and in the Caspian Sea destroyed several vessels of the Iranian Navy, as well as naval infrastructure, the IDF said Thursday, publishing footage of the attacks.
According to the IDF, the strikes destroyed an Iranian Navy corvette, four missile boats, several auxiliary ships and guard boats, along with a command center and a shipyard. Some of the vessels were located at the port, while others were out at sea.

The military said the missile boats were targeted to cause a blow to the Iranian military, despite the fact that they do not pose a direct threat to Israel from the Caspian Sea.
Still, the IDF added that the missile boats have anti-aircraft capabilities and could pose a threat to Israeli aircraft operating over Iran, as well as anti-submarine capabilities.
Preparations for the strike only began days ago, and it was not among the military’s initial bank of targets in Iran. Researchers at the Naval Intelligence Division located the ships and worked with the Military Intelligence Directorate and the Israeli Air Force to plan the strike.
It marks the first time that the IDF struck in that area of Iran, both in this war and the previous rounds of conflict, according to the military.
The IDF also said Thursday that an Mi-17 helicopter was destroyed in a strike at Sanandaj Airport in western Iran’s Hamedan the previous day.
"The IDF continues to deepen the damage to the military capabilities of the Revolutionary Guards’ air force and expand air superiority in western Iran," the military said of the strike carried out yesterday, adding that it came as a result of "real-time intelligence," the army said.
