Friend of mine waited outside the stage door of her London Hamlet performance and asked her to autograph a postcard pic of her as Ophelia in black. He slipped it in an envelop and mailed it to me from London. I still have it.
MALI 🇲🇱 | Dioura Attack: Africa Corps Members Among the Dead
🔴 5 Russian paramilitaries from Africa Corps 🇷🇺 are said to have been killed during the JNIM attack on 09/10.
The information was published by AFP on 09/14 midday, then picked up by other media outlets including Le Figaro, RFI, TV5MONDE, and Serge Daniel overnight (📽️ below).
Their sources (a local elected official as well as a Malian officer) speak of "50 to 80 soldiers killed," "many prisoners," and "five Africa Corps elements."
🔶 In parallel, a 4th communiqué from the Malian government (📸 below) mentions new neutralizations of terrorists in the Dioura area.
The communiqué still does not specify whether the FAMa have regained control of the camp.
⚠️ No communication from Africa Corps regarding its participation or its losses.
It remains to be determined the exact role of the five Russians: were they engaged in the fighting or did they belong to a detachment on site for training missions?
Selon nos informations, l’aéroport de Sévaré aurait été visé par des tirs de mortier attribués au JNIM en deux vagues : vers 21h dans la nuit du 14 septembre, puis vers 3h du matin.
According to our information, Sévaré Airport was reportedly targeted by mortar fire attributed to JNIM in two waves: around 9 PM on the night of September 14, then around 3 AM.
The strikes reportedly caused significant damage, including the destruction of several aircraft and aviation-related equipment. A drone battery was also reportedly destroyed at the airport.
Significant material losses were reportedly recorded.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] At least 50 Malian soldiers were killed in an armed attack targeting a major military base in the central part of the country.
AFP quoted an officer present at the scene as saying that the death toll was high, noting that around 50 soldiers were killed. Another security source reported more than 60 dead and approximately 60 soldiers captured, while a local official estimated the body count to exceed 80.
In a separate development last month, armed groups launched an attack on Diori Hamani International Airport in the Nigerien capital, Niamey, and attempted to breach the security cordon around the presidential palace.
Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have rescued 10 kidnapped civilians during a swift operation against armed terrorists in Katsina State.
The operation followed reports that terrorists had abducted residents of Unguwan Daudu and Unguwan Chibauna communities in Funtua Local Government Area.
Following receipt of actionable intelligence, troops deployed around the Sabuwa axis were mobilised to intercept the terrorists as they fled with the victims.
The sustained military pursuit reportedly put the terrorists under pressure, forcing them to abandon their captives and flee into the surrounding area.
It sounds like they’re talking about bandits rather than true jihadis. What say you, dear Reader?

4th Mountain Infantry Brigade Repels Houthi Advances from Bani Omar and Jarad to the Outskirts of Al-Wazi'iyah
Maj. Gen. Abubakr al-Jabouli, commander of the Tur al-Bahah Axis and the 4th Mountain Infantry Brigade, continued field visits to frontline positions in southern Taiz on Monday.
The visits covered positions stretching from Bani Omar and Jarad to the outskirts of Al-Wazi'iyah district, including the Rasin and Al-Alqamah fronts near the border with Al-Mudharabah district in Lahj.
During his visit to the Rasin-Al-Alqamah front, al-Jabouli received a briefing on the military situation and developments within the sector. He praised the troops for maintaining their positions and said forces were continuing their assigned duties against the Houthis.
Al-Jabouli said Tur al-Bahah Axis forces remained at a high level of combat readiness and were prepared to respond to developments along the front. He also claimed that Houthi forces had suffered heavy losses during recent clashes and military operations in the area. He called for increased vigilance, operational discipline and continued readiness.
[Breitbart] Sinaloa
This week, Mexico’s top security official, Omar García Harfuch, announced the deployment of 1,800 troops, including 1,000 Mexican Navy infantrymen, to the port city of Mazatlán, aimed at increasing presence there and in the state capital of Culiacán.
Very good! Now that they’re there, will they do anything other than stand around looking spiffy?
The move comes as Mazatlán continues to see a high number of murders each day as two main factions of the Sinaloa Cartel –Los Chapitos and La Mayiza continue to fight for control.
On Monday, Mazatlán saw numerous killings, including the murder of a U.S. citizen who was outside of a seafood restaurant.
As Breitbart Texas reported, the violence in Sinaloa is linked to an ongoing turf war between two factions that began when Los Chapitos kidnapped Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and flew him to Texas into the waiting hands of U.S. agents. That perceived betrayal created a rift between El Mayo’s family and Los Chapitos.
In the two years since the fighting started, Sinaloa has seen more than 3,100 murders and at least 5,000 forced disappearances, according to statistics from law enforcement and human rights groups; however, the true number is expected to be much higher.

Sinaloa
Or, as Amanpour plummily pronounced it throughout a piece a while back, "Sinny-ola." A media slip showing moment for the ages (even if I've never been able to find a clip of it).
[PJMedia] With a name like Jonathan Hunter Kramer, he certainly would not fit the image of an ISIS fighter. But in the U.S., it might have helped him fly under the radar of the authorities. But it seems that’s not the route Kramer wanted to take, and so federal law enforcement officials say Kramer decided to go by the name "Hamza Al Rashid." The 21-year-old was just arrested on Saturday, September 12, and charged with receiving a firearm and ammo in support of a terrorist organization, namely ISIS.
Kramer is listed as living in Valencia, Pa., which is about a 15-minute drive from the Butler Farm Show grounds where candidate Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... was shot at a campaign rally on July 13, 2024. This is unusual as Butler County is one of the more red counties in the country.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Kramer is now charged with intent to use a firearm to commit a felony or the crime of terrorism, which includes providing, attempting to provide, and conspiring to provide material in support of a terrorist organization, among other charges.
In a statement, the DOJ said, "FBI agents interdicted Kramer this weekend as he returned to a hotel in possession of three 30-round capacity rifle magazines and five boxes of rifle ammunition. The FBI then executed search warrants, seized a semiautomatic rifle and ammunition from his hotel room, and arrested him."
FBI Director Kash Patel added, "The subject in this case was allegedly plotting a violent mostly peaceful attack in support of ISIS — engaging with ISIS propaganda online, building attack concepts, and repeatedly expressing holy warrior rhetoric — all while acquiring weapons believed to be in preparation of the attack."
In the DOJ’s criminal complaint in the case, it indicates that Kramer already had a rifle in his possession, along with 190 rounds of ammunition.
An affidavit that was filed with the criminal complaint revealed that Kramer has been on the FBI’s radar since 2023, when, as a minor, he was charged and "adjudicated delinquent by Pennsylvania state authorities for his role in a plot to commit a mass casualty incident and for possessing child sexual abuse material."
According to the DOJ, on March 19 of this year, after his release from a juvenile detention facility, the FBI received an anonymous tip that Kramer’s behavior was "troubling." The tipster said that Kramer was ordering "mysterious" packages and "talking to his friends from before" he had been incarcerated.
In its statement, the DOJ said, "Subsequent investigation confirmed that Kramer had been using the online persona of ’Hamza Al Rashid’ who claimed affiliation with ISIS, offered to share explosive manuals with others, and expressed his intent to prepare for his ’mission’ and that he was just missing a ’weapon.’"
On Saturday, the day after the nation marked the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the American homeland, the FBI’s surveillance detail watched Kramer leave his home while carrying a bag and taking a rideshare to a local store where he bought a disposable phone.
The FBI reported that he left that store and then met up with someone in the store’s parking lot. That’s where the DOJ says he obtained a "long black bag from the trunk of a vehicle."
From there, the DOJ says that the FBI followed Kramer to a nearby hotel in Cranberry Township, Pa., where the feds say Kramer paid cash for a room.
"Witnesses from both the store and hotel noted Kramer’s bag making a metallic clicking sound when he placed it down," said the DOJ. "After checking into his room, Kramer traveled to a sporting goods store and was observed by the FBI at the gun counter."
The FBI lay in wait at Kramer’s hotel, and upon his return, they met him in the hotel parking lot where they say he was carrying two bags that the FBI then seized. In the end, the FBI reported that it confiscated a semiautomatic rifle, five rifle magazines, two of which were already loaded, a rifle bipod and scope, a prayer rug, and about 30 knives.
Along with all of this, the FBI reported that it found "a handwritten note stating ’DoNt look For me[.] IDK what I did buT I cant live In constant Fear[.]’"
Kramer has been arraigned in federal court, and the DOJ has requested that he be held without bond prior to trial on the assertion that he is a danger to the community.
A supporter 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.... group in Pennsylvania sought to poison food and drink at synagogues and backed Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... , according to a federal criminal complaint announced on Tuesday.
Jonathan Hunter Kramer, 21, was charged with firearm- and terrorism-related offenses in the Western District of Pennsylvania federal court.
An FBI agent with the Joint Terrorism Task Force said in a criminal complaint that law enforcement had first received an anonymous tip in 2023 about a Telegram group administrator, using the moniker "Nikolas Cruz," who was posting threats online and sharing documents about assembling explosives and boom-mobiles.
Investigators determined that Kramer, who also used the pseudonym on Discord, was behind the "Nikolas Cruz" account. A mass shooter named Nikolas Cruz carried out the Parkland high school shooting in 2018.
While investigating the Discord account in 2023, Sherlocks found that Kramer allegedly solicited child sexual abuse material from a 14-year-old in Germany.
The FBI searched the home of Kramer’s parents, where he lived, in Valencia, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Investigators found a recording of Kramer pledging allegiance to ISIS on a laptop.
Kramer, a juvenile at the time, was charged in state court with plotting a mass casualty incident and possessing child sexual abuse material. He was sentenced to a juvenile treatment program that ended in March.
Shortly after, the FBI received a tip that Kramer had unrestricted internet access, had been ordering "mysterious" packages and was in contact with "his friends from before," when he had been charged with terrorism.
The FBI had Kramer’s usernames from the 2023 investigation, including the Reddit accounts "ILoveGayRobloxPorn and "i_love-femboys6969," and connected the accounts to Kramer’s address.
Using those accounts and a third username, "slopdestroyer," Kramer allegedly posted ISIS and Hamas propaganda on Reddit. One of the videos showed anime-style Hamas turbans alongside the text "Stop watching Haram Paleostine needs you."
Investigators traced Kramer’s IP address to an Amazon account that had ordered pepper spray and knives.
Another tip, from the SITE Intelligence Group, pointed the FBI to a user on the SimpleX messaging platform using the name "Hamza Al Rashid" that Sherlocks connected to Kramer.
Kramer allegedly discussed attacks against "kuffar," or "disbelievers," with other users, including by using arson, poison, vehicular ramming, explosive-laden drones and shootings.
In May, Kramer allegedly told another user that he was "trying to find ways to synthesize" poisons or a "deadly chemical."
"I wish to inject ricin or cyanide into places such as grocery stores inside water/food with a syringe, or going to food events, preferably synagogues and putting the chemicals in their food and drink," he said. "I believe poison is a very good way to wage war against the kuffar."
"I just need a weapon and as soon as I have that I am ready," he said.
An FBI confidential source connected with Kramer on SimpleX, an encrypted messaging platform. Kramer told the source that he was attempting to carry out a terror attack but was unable to legally purchase firearms due to his previous arrest.
Investigators found that Kramer was attempting to buy firearms from individuals online and began to monitor his movements.
Kramer, who does not have a driver’s license, took an Uber to a Walmart, where he bought a disposable phone and obtained what appeared to be a bag with a firearm from an individual in a parking lot.
Kramer took an Uber to a hotel and paid for a room in cash, then went to a store to buy ammunition. FBI agents confronted Kramer and searched the room and Kramer’s bags, finding five 30-round rifle magazines, 190 rounds of 5.56 caliber ammunition, a semiautomatic rifle, a bipod, a rifle scope, a prayer rug, pepper spray and Faraday bags, which are used to block signals to devices like phones.
At Kramer’s home, Sherlocks found 30 knives and a note that said, "Don’t look for me. [I don’t know] what I did but I can’t live in constant fear."
The criminal complaint, filed on Sunday, did not name any specific targets for Kramer’s plots.
Law enforcement in the US has repeatedly thwarted attempted terror attacks on Jewish targets in recent years, including at least one other case involving poison.
A neo-Nazi ...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both.... , Michail Chkhikvishvili, charged in New York in 2024, had planned to distribute poisoned candy to children at Jewish schools in Brooklyn.
Last month, an ISIS supporter arrested in Albany, New York, Jessica Bowie, vowed to "poison these infidels," although Bowie did not target Jews.

Shouldn't any Terrorist Actions with the goal of inflicting mass death REQUIRE the Death Penalty? Thus nullifying the usual agenda drive Liberal DA's ability to accept pleas to lesser chargers? Which usually allows terrorists to later get out of prison in the future, then maybe try again.
BTW: I wonder what is the ratio for Mass Shooters is when applied to Democrat States vs Republican States?

I wonder what is the ratio for Mass Shooters is when applied to Democrat States vs Republican States?
[AI] I wonder what is the ratio for Mass Shooters is when applied to Democrat States vs Republican States?
Based on data from 2010–2022, mass shootings were **roughly evenly split** between Democratic and Republican states, with **29 incidents in Democratic-run legislatures** and **28 in Republican-run legislatures** (using a threshold of four or more deaths).
- **Democratic states**: 29 mass shootings (11 of 26 states/districts with incidents were Democrat-run)
- **Republican states**: 28 mass shootings
The ratio is approximately **29:28** (or ~1.04:1 in favor of Democratic states), though this narrow difference is largely driven by California, which alone accounted for 12 of the 29 Democratic-state incidents.
[Rudaw] A one-way attack drone struck a base belonging to the Kurdistan Democratic Party 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. 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... (KDPI) in Erbil province early Tuesday, a bigwig told Rudaw, marking the second consecutive day of strikes against Iranian Kurdish opposition groups in the Kurdistan Region.
A KDPI official told Rudaw English on condition of anonymity that a drone struck the mountainous Balisan area early Tuesday morning, south of Rawanduz within the Soran administration northeast of the Kurdistan Region capital, with no casualties reported.
Another informed official in the Soran Independent Administration confirmed to Rudaw’s Soran Hussein on Tuesday that "The attack took place at 3:30 am today, targeting a KDPI base. Aside from material damage, there were no casualties."
The attack comes a day after three missiles early Monday struck a camp housing families of the Iranian Kurdish dissident group Komala in Zirgwez, Sulaimani province, causing material damage but no casualties, according to Ali Ranjbari, the head of Komala’s public relations.
Iran has repeatedly launched missiles and drones following the US-Iran war, which erupted in late February, in addition to its decades-long confrontation with Kurdish opposition groups operating inside the country as well as bases in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region whom it accuses of posing a security threat, demanding that Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) disarm or expel them.
Iran in mid-August targeted Komala and KDPI bases near Soran, as well as in mid-July, the latter of which resulted in the deaths of nine Komala members in an Iranian missile strike on the group’s headquarters in Zirgwez.
Ranjbari attributed the Monday bombardment to the use of intimidation tactics stemming from the Iranian government's "anxiety, fear, and panic" over a planned general strike across Iranian Kurdistan (Rojhelat).
A coalition of six Kurdish opposition parties that includes the KDPI and Komala on Sunday called for "all segments and strata of the nation to carry out a nationwide strike" and protests throughout Iran on Wednesday, September 16, to mark the fourth anniversary of the death of Zhina (Mahsa) Amini, a Kurdish woman who died while in jug over alleged violations of the country’s mandatory hijab rules.
The attacks follow a series of festivities, including a recent incident in early September in which an Iranian border guard was killed by an unidentified opposition group near Paveh, a predominantly Kurdish city in western Iran close to the border with the Kurdistan Region.
Iranian strikes have also hit areas beyond the bases of Kurdish opposition groups. Rudaw has recorded nearly 1,000 drone and missile attacks on the Kurdistan Region since the start of the US-Iran conflict in late February, killing 32 people and wounding 154 others as of early August.

The Baghdad Diplomatic Support Compound, located near Baghdad International Airport, "suffered extensive damage, but the facility was already in the process of closing," the report said, noting that Iraq accounted for the vast majority of diplomatic facility damage costs globally, with estimated losses of $157.35 million out of a total $184 million across four countries.
The report said the Department of War found that between February 28 and June 30, "seven U.S. Service members were killed in action and seven were killed in non-hostile events," while 417 service members were maimed in action. The report noted four additional service members were killed in July, including three at an air base in Jordan and one at Erbil Air Base.
The US and Israel in late February launched a joint aerial campaign, striking thousands of targets across Iran. Tehran responded with drone and missile strikes across the Middle East, targeting alleged US assets in Gulf Arab states and launching retaliatory strikes against Israel.
Iran and its affiliated gangs, operating under the umbrella of the Islamic Resistance® in Iraq (IRI), also launched nearly 1,000 drone and missile attacks on the Kurdistan Region since the start of the war, primarily targeting Kurdish dissident groups and killing 32 people and wounding 154 others as of early August, according to Rudaw tracking.
The attacks on the Kurdistan Region persisted even after Washington and Tehran reached a ceasefire on April 7, followed by the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed on June 17. The assaults continued despite repeated affirmations by Kurdish officials that the Region is not a party to the conflict.
According to the Lead Inspector General's report, the ongoing military campaign against Iran has cost at least $33.4 billion as of late June, though officials warned the true cost remains difficult to calculate and is likely to rise.
The single largest expense was munitions, at $22.3 billion. Equipment losses accounted for a further $3.7 billion in destroyed or written-off hardware, while incremental operational costs totalled $7.4 billion. The $33.4 billion baseline figure "did not include costs for infrastructure repairs," the report noted.
Moreover, the campaign saw four F-15E Strike Eagles and one A-10 Thunderbolt destroyed, along with seven KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft damaged or destroyed. An F-35A stealth fighter sustained damage from enemy fire over Iran. Seven helicopters and as many as 30 MQ-9 drones were also lost.
The report further pointed to "the absence of a dedicated appropriation" for Operation Epic Fury, noting that the Department of War had instead drawn on base budget funds otherwise earmarked for training and maintenance.
Additionally, intercepting more than 6,000 one-way attack drones and 1,500 ballistic missiles fired by Iran and its affiliated gangs severely drew down US defense stockpiles, the report found, exposing bottlenecks in solid rocket motors, high-grade explosives, and skilled manufacturing labor that would require "significant lead time" to address.
[IsraelTimes] Volunteer firefighter from Kfar Qasim reportedly sought to attack Amdocs site; ‘greatly influenced’ by Oct. 7 and May 2021 riots, he tried to make explosives, had Airsoft guns and other equipment
Police and the Shin Bet announced on Tuesday the recent arrest of a 19-year-old from the central Arab town of Kafr Qasim on suspicion of planning a terror attack.
The suspect, Mustafa Issa, was "greatly influenced" by the Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... -led onslaught of October 7, 2023, and by the violence in mixed Jewish-Arab cities in May 2021, the security agencies said in a joint statement.
He had searched online for instructions on warfare and explosives, and made several attempts to produce an explosive, according to the statement.
According to Channel 12 news, Issa is suspected of wanting to target a server farm belonging to the Amdocs software company, and planned to gain access to the complex as part of his role as a volunteer firefighter.
When he was arrested, Issa had in his possession "a lot of training equipment" as well as Airsoft guns, the statement said.
In July, four Israeli citizens from the Bedouin town of Segev Shalom were arrested and indicted over plans to carry out various terror-related activities, including a mass shooting attack at Beersheba’s central bus station.
In June, an Arab Israeli terrorist opened fire on people at a gas station near Kochav Ya’ir in central Israel and outside the communities of Tzur Yitzhak and Tzur Natan. A civil defense squad member was killed and five were maimed.
[IsraelTimes] PA identifies man as Ziad Jaber, 54, resident of West Bank city of al-Bireh; military says incident happened during counterterrorism operation
The Israel Defense Forces shot and killed a Paleostinian man during a raid in the West Bank on Tuesday, Paleostinian health officials said, while the army said the man had tried to grab a soldier’s weapon.
The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said that Ziad Jaber, 54, was rubbed out by IDF troops in al-Bireh, near Ramallah.
The IDF said that during counterterrorism operational activity, the man "attempted to grab the weapon of one of the soldiers" and was shot.
The Paleostine Red Islamic Thingy Society said crews treated someone who sustained "a critical live-fire gunshot wound to the abdomen and thigh" during a military raid in the Umm al-Sharayet neighborhood.
Jaber’s brother, Ramadan Mohammad Jaber, told AFP that the military raided his home at around 4 a.m. (0100 GMT) after blowing up the front door.
He said soldiers handcuffed him and held him with his daughter in a room before arresting his son.
That’s one way to keep the girl from from running between men with guns — Papa should be grateful that they joined him in protecting her.
He added that soldiers had also blown up the door of the adjacent apartment where his brother lived.
"I heard him screaming but I did not hear the sound of gunfire," he said, adding that his brother "was left bleeding in the apartment for about an hour and a half before the army allowed ambulance crews to take him to the hospital."
A spokesperson for the Paleostinian health ministry confirmed that Jaber was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.

During the same period, 66 civilians and Israeli security personnel have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of the security forces were killed in festivities during raids in Paleostinian cities in the West Bank.

The Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet confirmed late Tuesday that Nael Abu Obeid, who commanded Hamas’s Rafah Brigade and headed its operations division, was among those killed, describing him as "central figure" in the terror group.
In the past two weeks alone, some 25 terror operatives were killed in Israeli strikes in the Strip, including at least 10 commanders in Hamas’s elite Nukhba Force, according to the military.
According to a joint IDF and Shin Bet statement, Abu Obeid took over the role of Rafah Brigade commander following the killing of the brigade’s previous chief, Muhammad Shabana, on May 13, 2025, in a strike that also killed Hamas leader Mohammad Sinwar. As Rafah Brigade chief, the military said, Abu Obeid worked to rebuild Hamas’s capabilities and advance attacks on Israel.
The IDF and Shin Bet did not specify where Abu Obeid was targeted on Tuesday. Paleostinian media outlets affiliated with Hamas, reported that two people, including an 8-year-old girl, were killed and 14 others maimed in a strike in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
"No terrorist is immune and Hamas won’t be in Gaza," said both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz.
The IDF had earlier told The Times of Israel that a Tuesday strike on Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood targeted a terror operative in the area, and said further details would be provided later.
Paleostinian media in the Strip reported that two were killed in the strike, including a child identified as Muhammad al-Zinati; his age was not specified.
The reports said that seven others were maimed in the strike.
Witnesses said additional casualties resulted from a second strike that hit near a group of people who rushed to help in the rescue. An unverified video published by Paleostinian media showed a missile exploding near at least five men.
The IDF also announced Tuesday that it had killed two senior Hamas commanders in strikes the day before, as well as a member of the terror group’s weapons production unit. One of the commanders was identified as Ahmad al-Batash. The other senior Hamas commander was identified by the IDF as Rafat Abu Zamar, a company commander in the terror group’s operations division. According to the army, Abu Zamar led training for snuffies ahead of the October 7 onslaught, and recently was involved in training operatives and developing Hamas’s capabilities.
A separate strike in Gaza City on Monday killed Muhammad Khader Fahmi Aghour, identified by the IDF as a member of Hamas involved in the production of weapons. The military said the strikes on Abu Zamar and Aghour were carried out after both were involved in advancing attacks and restoring Hamas capabilities "in systematic violation of the ceasefire."
On Thursday, an Israeli strike killed Muhammad Abdul Salam al-Yazouri, the commander of Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade.
In the past two weeks alone, some 25 terror operatives were killed in Israeli strikes in the Strip, including at least 10 commanders in Hamas’s elite Nukhba Force, according to the military.
Paleostinians held public funerals for Batash and Abu Zamar on Tuesday, with footage showing Batash’s body wrapped in a Hamas flag inside Gaza City’s Al Shifa Hospital, as an M16 assault rifle was placed on top of his body.
The Gaza war began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led snuffies invaded southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 people hostage.
The ensuing war between Israel and Hamas has killed over 73,400 people in Gaza, including more than 1,330 since the October 2025 ceasefire, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in the enclave, which does not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
The Israeli military says it has killed over 24,000 combatants in Gaza and another 1,200 snuffies inside Israel during the October 7 onslaught. It believes that Hamas’s overall toll is largely accurate, with IDF officials estimating that two to three non-combatants were killed for every dead terror operative.
Gaza remains bisected into Israeli- and Hamas-controlled areas, and talks to bring about Hamas’s disarmament and the territory’s reconstruction have made only limited progress.
[Rudaw] An unknown projectile struck a vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, according to a British maritime monitor, as tensions remain high in the strategic waterway.
"A verified source has reported that a vessel has been struck by an unknown projectile. There is no reported damage or environmental impact," the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported noting that the attack occurred Monday at 11:40 pm.
The Strait of Hormuz - a major energy chokepoint through which roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies pass - has been a flashpoint since the outbreak of the war in late February, when the US and Israel launched a joint aerial campaign striking thousands of targets across 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... over six weeks.
While the warring sides reached a preliminary ceasefire in early April, followed by the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding in mid-June that established a truce and opened a window for negotiations, both sides have traded repeated rounds of strikes.
Moreover, tensions in the Strait remain elevated. A US naval blockade on Iranian ports is still in effect since mid-July, and Iran continues to assert illusory sovereignty over the key waterway, forcing commercial vessels to seek authorization for passage.
Oman’s Maritime Security Center said Tuesday that authorities were monitoring the towing of the Panama-flagged oil tanker ELGAIA to an Omani port after a fire in its engine room was extinguished.
The vessel was targeted 1.2 nautical miles northeast of Musandam Governorate. A Royal Navy of Oman ship evacuated 23 crew members, while search operations continued for two missing crew members, the center added.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy said on Monday that the supertanker ELGAIA caught fire and burned after hitting a naval mine in the southern Strait of Hormuz.
The IRGC added that the vessel had ignored warnings against entering the restricted area, stating that "the Strait of Hormuz is closed and remains under our intelligent control."
Meanwhile,
...back at the Senate, Tremulus continued with his speech against Varius and his cohorts, watching as his colleagues dropped off to sleep one by one... the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Sunday that its forces had redirected 101 commercial vessels to enforce the blockade on Iranian ports.
Iran and Gulf states, including Iraq, were scheduled to meet on Monday in Oman to discuss commercial shipping through the waterway, but the meeting has been postponed indefinitely.
"We remain committed to fostering dialogue that supports stability and lasting cooperation in our region," Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi posted on X on Sunday, in a message accompanied by the flags of Oman, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start... , Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... , Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates.
On Saturday, Iranian officials said a recent understanding with Oman did not mean the strategic waterway would reopen in the near future, insisting that the United States must first meet Iran’s demands.
[FOX] Iran is deliberately targeting U.S. naval drones in the Strait of Hormuz to gather intelligence on American surveillance capabilities and learn how to evade U.S. defenses, drone experts warned Tuesday.
Tehran’s strategy is coordinated, they said, and involves exposing critical insights into U.S. Navy theater operations in the world’s most vulnerable maritime choke point even when classified data is uncompromised.
The warning came as tensions escalated in the Gulf region Sept. 14 after the U.S. military destroyed two Iranian small boats amid an attempted seizure by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of an American unmanned surface vessel (USV) patrolling the area, according to reports.
Iranian state media initially said the incident was a U.S. strike on civilian fishing vessels while its officials reported search-and-rescue operations off the coast of Kargan and near Larak Island, claiming local fishermen were missing.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins confirmed the attempted seizure on Tuesday.
"Iranian small boats recently attempted to take possession of a U.S. unmanned surface vessel, but they were unsuccessful after CENTCOM forcefully responded," Hawkins said.
"The surface drone remains under U.S. operational control."
[North Press] The Syrian army said it thwarted two attempts to smuggle narcotics from Lebanon into Homs and Damascus countryside.
The army said on Tuesday that its forces intercepted shipments containing drugs, crystal methamphetamine and hashish in the Tal Kalakh area of Homs countryside and Ras al-Maara in the Qalamoun region.
State media reported that one person involved in the smuggling was arrested and would be referred, along with the seized materials, to the relevant authorities.
On July 27, the Anti-Narcotics Administration in Damascus countryside also said it thwarted an attempt to smuggle a shipment of narcotics from Lebanon, seizing 850,000 pills.
Captagon is the usual thing, but other chemicals are also saleable.
