Four ships hit by Yemeni strikes in both Red Sea and Mediterranean
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i armed forces said they had carried out four military operations against four ships in the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.

In support of the oppressed Paleostinian people and their fighters, and in response to the massacres committed by the Zionist enemy against the people of 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 an 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...
, the Armed Forces carried out several qualitative military operations, including a joint military operation with the Islamic resistance in Iraq targeting the oil tanker "Waler" in the Mediterranean Sea with a number of drones. It was on its way to the port of Haifa, and the ship was targeted violating the ban on entering the ports of occupied Paleostine," the armed forces said in a statement issued this evening.

The armed forces added in the statement that the missile force in our Yemeni Armed Forces, with God’s help, also carried out an operation targeting the ship "Johannes Maersk" in the Mediterranean Sea with a cruise missile, and the operation successfully achieved its goal by Allah’s grace.

The armed forces explained in the statement that this ship belongs to the "Maersk" company, which is one of the most supportive companies for the Zionist entity and the most violative of the ban on entering the ports of occupied Paleostine.

The operation was carried out simultaneously with another military operation by the naval forces in the Red Sea against the ship "Ioannis," which was targeted with several drones for violating the ban on entering the ports of occupied Paleostine, and it was directly hit by Allah’s grace, according to the statement.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces salute all the struggling Yemeni people for their constant and continuous response to the call of Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr El-Din al-Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
(may Allah protect him) in the massive public rallies in support of the Paleostinian cause and to confirm the rejection of the American-British aggression against our country," the statement read.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue, with Allah’s help, to carry out their religious, moral, and humanitarian duties on behalf of the great Yemeni people and all the free people of the nation in support of Paleostine and in victory for its struggling people and brave resistance. The military operations will not stop except with the cessation of aggression and the lifting of the siege on the Paleostinian people in Gaza," the statement stressed.
The Times of Israel provides a reality check:
Yemen’s Houthi militant group have claimed responsibility for attacking a Liberia-flagged vessel in the Red Sea that a maritime agency said had survived five missiles, while also saying they targeted three other vessels including two in the Mediterranean.

Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson, says in a televised statement that the group launched ballistic missiles at the Delonix, an oil tanker, and that it took a “direct hit.”

However, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) monitor said earlier in the day that the ship, which was targeted 150 nautical miles (172 miles) northwest of the Yemeni port of Hodeidah, reported no damage and was heading northward.

Saree also says the Houthis attacked the Ioannis ship in the Red Sea, as well as the Waler oil tanker and the Johannes Maersk vessel in the Mediterranean.

He says the Johannes Maersk, which is owned by Maersk MAERSKb.CO, the world’s second-largest container carrier, was targeted because it belongs to “one of the most supportive companies for the Zionist entity and the most that violates ban decision of access to the ports of occupied Palestine.”

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Resident of Ingushetia suspected of financing terrorism
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
BLUF: Unnamed accused jailed for supporting unnamed organization.
[KavkazUzel] A native of Malgobek, convicted of illegal possession of explosives, is suspected of aiding a member of a terrorist organization. The suspect is being transported from the colony to Ingushetia.

The investigative authorities of Ingushetia opened a criminal case on the financing of terrorism (Part 1.1 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) against a native of Malgobek, the investigative department of the Russian Investigative Committee for Ingushetia reported today. “According to the investigation, on March 30, 2023, the suspect provided financial assistance to a member of an organization recognized as terrorist by a decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, who was wanted for committing terrorist attacks,” said a representative of the department.

The investigation explained that the suspect had previously been sentenced to three years for illegal possession of explosive devices (Part 1 of Article 222.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). “The investigative authorities have taken measures to transfer the suspect from a correctional colony located in the neighboring region to the Republic of Ingushetia to conduct investigative actions and establish all the circumstances of the crime he committed,” the department’s Telegram channel says.

"Kavkaz Uzel" also wrote that the security forces put on the wanted list a native of Nazran, who left for Syria eight years ago. According to the investigation, she joined a terrorist organization and collected money for its needs.

Friday prayers in the Red Mosque of Astrakhan ended in arrests
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Security forces blocked the exits from the Red Mosque at the Bolshiye Isady market and checked the documents of those gathered, some Muslims were put on buses standing at the exit, believers said, linking the events with the militant attack in Dagestan. A raid was conducted at the mosque to identify violators of migration laws, the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Astrakhan Region stated.

As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, several dozen Muslims were taken to police stations without explanation on November 27, 2020, after prayers in an Astrakhan mosque. On the same day, the Muslims detained near the Red Mosque were released home by security forces. The police said that these were measures to search for people hiding from the investigative and judicial authorities. Muslims were offended that such checks were carried out in mosques during Friday prayers. Similar raids had previously taken place in other mosques.

Believers who came to the Juma prayer at the Red Mosque in the Bolshiye Isady market were blocked at the exit. Security forces checked the documents of those leaving the mosque, some were put on a bus parked opposite the entrance to the mosque, one of the believers told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent on condition of anonymity.

Today, the security forces arrived before the prayer began, the believer said. This mosque has three exits, two exits were blocked, one, the central one, was working for exiting after the prayer. There were many security forces there after the prayer, they made two narrow "corridors" - and through them people were let out one by one, checking documents. "Many did not have documents with them," the interlocutor emphasized. 

Another believer, who attended Juma prayer today at the Red Mosque on the Great Isads, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that there were a lot of security forces, one bus and several minibuses stood near the mosque. “The bus was full (of detained people). But this is what I saw myself when I got out, at the end, and before that the buses could have already left,” he noted. 

They noted that the security forces did not explain to the believers the reasons for what was happening, even when they asked about it. Both visitors to the mosque linked what happened to the terrorist attacks in Dagestan. "But because someone did something somewhere, to come to the mosque and do this... It's unfair," one of the interlocutors complained. 

On June 23, Trinity Day, which is one of the main Christian holidays, militants attacked synagogues and an Orthodox church in Derbent and Makhachkala. As a result of the attacks, 21 people were killed and 46 were injured. On June 26, doctors described the condition of six people injured in the militant attack as serious. Sources reported that the  22nd person injured  in the militant attack died - a random passerby who happened to be at the synagogue in Derbent. On June 23, the American Institute for the Study of War stated that  the cell "Vilayat Kavkaz"* - a division of the "Islamic State"* - was behind the attacks.

One of the believers at the mosque became ill, as follows from the video available to the Caucasian Knot. As follows from the video, the man is lying on the asphalt near the minibus, shaking with convulsions. Other men, including security forces, are trying to help him: they lift his legs, try to open his mouth. “Look at the language, language,” one of the men shouts. One of the security forces calls to move away from the scene of the incident. “Back up, back up,” he says.

The exact number of detainees is unknown.  An employee of the press service of the Russian Interior Ministry for the Astrakhan Region linked the inspections at the mosque with raids against migrants. "This event is part of raids to identify violations of migration legislation, which are carried out regularly in Bolshie Isady. There are no other reasons," she told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Let us recall that following the results of the raids after the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, security forces reported massive violations of migration legislation. Thus, in the Rostov region, 46 citizens of Central Asia were ordered to leave Russia.

In Rostov-on-Don, 913 people were checked, of which 545 were citizens of the Russian Federation, 150 people received summonses to the military registration and enlistment office, 39 people were brought to administrative responsibility, of which 25 were foreign citizens. Human rights activists  called  the fight for the legality of migration ostentatious, emphasizing that the actions of security forces and court decisions on fines and expulsion often have neither legal grounds nor logical explanations. In their opinion, sending migrants to the front  does not look like a mass phenomenon.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Palestinian gunman who fired on Israeli town last month arrested
[IsraelTimes] Police say Amar Nasrallah was shot and injured as he fled security forces in Tulkarem; during interrogation incriminated others who recently fired at Bat Hefer

A Paleostinian gunman behind shooting attacks from the West Bank against the Israeli town of Bat Hefer in May was detained earlier this month, the Israel Police announced Wednesday.

A joint IDF, Shin Bet and police statement said Amar Nasrallah was arrested on June 5 in the Tulkarem refugee camp.

Last month, Paleostinian terror group Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
said its operatives from the Tulkarem area in the West Bank had fired shots at Bat Hefer.

Hamas posted videos on social media of its button men opening fire.

During his interrogation, "Amar admitted that he was a member of a terror cell that carried out shooting attacks on towns near the [border] fence, and in addition, incriminated other suspects belonging to the cell," the statement said.

Footage published by police showed officers shooting Nasrallah as he allegedly attempted to flee. He was maimed and captured.

A Paleostinian gunman behind shooting attacks from the West Bank against the Israeli town of Bat Hefer in May, was detained earlier this month, police announce.

Hebrew media reports at the end of May said that three times in the space of the previous two weeks shots had been fired at Bat Hefer, a town of about 5,000 people that sits just west of the so-called Green Line separating Israel from the West Bank.

There have also been similar shooting incidents at Kibbutz Meirav, a religious community of less than a thousand, from the West Bank city of Jenin.

Palestinians flee 'in terror' with dead, wounded left on ground as Israel storms Gaza City
[GEO.TV] Palestinians fled eastern Gaza City on Thursday under heavy bombardment as the Israeli military issued an evacuation order for the area it had previously declared clear of Hamas fighters.

The flare-up in the northern Gaza Strip’s Shujaiya district, which witnesses and medics said caused numerous casualties, comes as fears grow of a wider regional conflagration involving Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah, a Hamas ally.

In Gaza City, a witness in Shujaiya who declined to be named told AFP the situation was "frightening" as Israeli military vehicles approached amid air strikes and shelling.

"Residents are running through the streets in terror... wounded and martyrs lie in the streets."

IDF confirms Shejaiya op; says it struck terrorists hiding in schools, humanitarian zone

The IDF confirms it launched a new pinpoint operation in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood yesterday.

The raid, being carried out by the 98th Division, comes following intelligence information on Hamas operatives and infrastructure in the area.

The IDF says the division’s 7th Armored Brigade pushed into the Shejaiya area during the day, and overnight, the Paratroopers Brigade began to raid sites in the neighborhood.

Dozens of Hamas sites were struck from the air as the ground forces pushed in, the military says.

In separate “significant” strikes in northern Gaza, the IDF says it killed dozens of terror operatives who were holed up in a school and other UNRWA facilities.

Meanwhile, overnight, the military says a fighter jet struck a Hamas operative in a building in central Gaza’s Deir al Balah, within the Israeli-designated “humanitarian zone.”

“The terrorist operated from within the humanitarian area, which the organization uses as a shield for terrorist activity,” the IDF says.

The military says that ahead of the strike, it worked to evacuate the civilian population from the area of the building. It also says it used aerial surveillance, a precision munition, and other means to mitigate harm to Palestinian civilians.

#6  Incompatible cultures, Smuts tried to explain it from biblical, scientific (Darwinian) and historical perspectives, but no one would listen. Still, no one listens.

BTW, Smuts was a leading advocate and promoter of the Balfour Agreement.

Under the Balfour, in 1922, the League of Nations granted Britain a mandate over Palestine which included, among other things, provisions calling for the establishment of a Jewish homeland, facilitating Jewish immigration and encouraging Jewish settlement on the land.

Israeli forces push deeper into southern and northern Gaza
[GEO.TV] Israeli forces deepened their incursion into two northern and southern areas of the Gaza Strip on Friday, and Palestinian health officials said tank shelling in Rafah killed at least 11 people.

Residents and Hamas media said tanks advanced further west into the Shakoush neighbourhood of Rafah, forcing thousands of displaced people there to leave their tent camps and head northward to the nearby Khan Younis.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment.

Since May 7, tanks have advanced in several districts of Rafah, and forces remained in control of the entire border line with Egypt and the Rafah crossing, the only gateway for most of Gaza's 2.3 million people with the outside world.

Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. 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. 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?

struck areas in the Western Galilee earlier this evening, the military says.

The IDF says it launched interceptor missiles at the drones, but failed to down the devices.

Additionally, some 25 rockets were fired from Lebanon at the Western Galilee and the Kiryat Shmona area in separate barrages, according to the IDF.

Damage was caused to a building in the Western Galilee by one of the rockets, the military says.

The rockets also sparked several fires in northern Israel.

No injuries were caused in the drone and rocket attacks.

The IDF says it shelled the sources of fire with artillery.
