[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A gunman opened fire outside of an Air Force base in Nevada linked to Area 51, according to police.
The unknown suspect 'fired rounds' at the main gate of the site and was 'behaving erratically' around 12.30am Wednesday in Las Vegas, a Nellis AFB spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
Security officers then 'challenged the suspect who pointed his firearm at them,' the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said.
The alleged gunman was shot in the leg and taken to a hospital for non-life threatening injuries after a tourniquet was applied.
Following the incident, Nellis Air Force Base took to Facebook saying its main gate will be temporarily closed 'until further notice'.
In the meantime, another entrance has been opened to 'alleviate traffic flow'. The base will announce when the main gate is reopened.
There is no threat to the public and the investigation is ongoing, officials said.
Area 51 is a highly classified Air Force facility located within the Nevada Test and Training Range, which falls under the broader jurisdiction of Nellis Air Force Base.
While both sites are used for testing classified aircraft and weapons, Area 51 is a remote, secretive part of the military complex, far from the main base gates in Las Vegas.

...The neighborhood near the Nellis main gate ain't the greatest in the world (wonder if the 25 Club is still there? Best wings on the planet.) so there's a fair chance this was a local blasted out of his mind. 72 hour rule applies here, I think.
[THEDEFENSEPOST] Chad's government has struck a peace deal with an gang in the north of the country, ending years of conflict over gold deposits in the region, a mediator said on social media.
It sees ''the definitive return of peace in (the town of) Miski and the entire province of Tibesti,'' Ibrahim Edji Mahamat, who acted as a controller for talks, told AFP by telephone.
The agreement, signed Tuesday by government mediator Saleh Kebzabo, offers an amnesty to both the Chadian defense and security forces and rebels, who took part in festivities between 2019 and 2020, according to a document seen by AFP.
Members of the Diffa Al Watan Popular Committee of Miski will also be integrated into the army or the police after receiving training.
Mahamat, the controller, said the agreement involved the ''last dissident group.'' Other rebel groups accepted similar deals in 2019, 2023, and in recent months.
Several rebel groups had prevented state officials from entering the area of Miski, around 200 kilometers (125 miles) from Bardai, the main city in Tibesti province, in order to mine its resources.
Since Chad gained independence from La Belle France in 1960, the Tibesti region has attracted numerous illegal gold miners.
[BAPTISTPRESS] Ruth Abah, 28, no longer walks to her local church, St. Paul's, which now lies in ashes. Instead, the mother of two locks her doors and prays with her children, fearful the next attack could come at any moment.
On Aug. 11, suspected Fulani ... a peculiarly brutal tribe of Moslem herdsmen infesting Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and probably other places that are light on law and order and heavy on tribal identity... herdsmen stormed the compound of the Catholic church in the village of Aye-Twar, in central Nigeria, setting the church, rectory and parish offices ablaze along with vehicles and other property. Earlier raids had already forced the parish's 26 outstations to shut down.
The latest assaults have sent the remaining residents fleeing into the bush, leaving the parish grounds and surrounding community eerily deserted.
The destruction of St. Paul's is a stark sign of how attacks by Fulani ''jihadists'' is hollowing out once-thriving Christian communities across the region. Known as Nigeria's ''food basket,'' Benue state has become a center of the violence that has left thousands dead this year.
''I used to be in church every Sunday, singing in the choir,'' Abah said in a phone interview. ''Now I keep the doors locked. If I hear voices shouting at night, I pray silently. If they see me walking to church with a Bible, they could kill me.''
A new report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, known as Intersociety, paints a grim picture. In the first seven months of 2025 alone, Islamist groups killed 7,087 Christians and kidnapped 7,800 others because of their faith. The country now sees an average of 30 Christians killed every day, making Nigeria the most dangerous place in the world to be a Christian.
Emeka Umeagbalasi, lead researcher and chair of Intersociety, described the situation as a ''brutal massacre'' of ''defenseless Christians'' and warned that unchecked killings and abductions are wiping out entire communities.
Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation with more than 236 million people, has been plagued by Islamist violence for more than a decade, particularly in its northern and central regions. The insurgency began with Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... , an bad boy Islamist group that launched an armed campaign in 2009 to establish a caliphate and enforce a strict interpretation of Shariah.

According to some updated sources, they have over 15,000+ reasons and about 1/2 of those murdered.
All just for being Christians.
WHY IS IT?
Yet given the Muslims followers documented, 1415 + year history of killing any faith not following Islam. We still allow these murderers into civilized countries?

[DAILY-SUN] Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... : Three soldiers and 123 Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... holy warriors were killed when the Islamist group attacked a Chadian army contingent in northern Cameroon, the Chadian military said on Friday.
Twelve soldiers were maimed in the attacks staged by the Islamist group on Thursday and Friday near the border town of Fotokol, according to a military statement read out on national television.
Chad sent a convoy of troops and military vehicles into neighbouring Cameroon on January 17 to deal with the growing threat Boko Haram poses in the region.
"The enemy was repelled by our defensive forces," the general staff's statement said, adding that the troops had "routed" the Islamists in the second attack.
The soldiers were killed by improvised bombs, the statement said.
A senior Cameroonian security source said the Chadian troops were deployed to the town, which sits opposite a Nigerian town under Boko Haram control and is also close to the border with Chad, on Wednesday.
Boko Haram frequently stages attacks on Fotokol from their base in the Nigerian town of Gamboru, which is just 500 metres (yards) away.
Chad has called on countries in the region to form a broad coalition in the fight against the Islamist group. The country has already deployed its army along its borders as well as sending the additional contingent to Cameroon.
Chad's President Idriss Deby has also expressed intentions of taking back the strategic Nigerian town of Baga from Boko Haram, situated on Lake Chad.
The African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... called Friday for a regional five-nation force of 7,500 troops to defeat the "horrendous" rise of Boko Haram.
The group's uprising has become a regional crisis, with the four directly affected countries -- Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria -- agreeing along with Benin ...Benin, a French-speaking West African nation, that they put where Dahomey used to be. It is a birthplace of voodoo and zombies. In Abomey, Dahomey's former capital, the Historical Museum occupies two royal palaces with bas-reliefs recounting the kingdom’s past and a throne mounted on human skulls. To the north, Pendjari National Park offers safaris with elephants, hippos and lions and tigers and bears, oh my!... to boost cooperation to contain the threat and to form a Multinational Joint Task Force.
More than 13,000 people have been killed and more than one million made homeless by Boko Haram violence since 2009.

[KavkazUzel] Law enforcement officers searched the apartment of blogger Mansur Gneev in Sochi, and he was arrested on extremism charges. Anti-Israel videos and videos about the "Russian Community" are cited as possible grounds for the criminal investigation.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," Islamic blogger Mansur (Boris) Gneev from Ust-Labinsk was fined 15,000 rubles and arrested for two weeks for inciting hatred and enmity and disobeying police. He stated that he had made an inappropriate comment on Christianity and the Adyghe lands on his channel and apologized. He had previously published an appeal to Andrey Tkachuk, coordinator of the "Russian Community," on his YouTube channel.
A criminal case has been opened against blogger and Islamic preacher Mansur (Boris before converting to Islam) Gneev, who was detained in Sochi. He faces calls for extremist activity (Article 280 of the Russian Criminal Code), Kommersant reported today, citing a law enforcement source who declined to disclose details.
Mansur Gneev was detained in Sochi, right in his apartment, around 6:00 a.m. An NTV journalist was present during the arrest. "As soon as Mansur opened the door, he found himself pinned to the floor. Then he was handcuffed. My husband offered no resistance. I was taken to the communal kitchen in the house, where we spent most of our time with the child. About ten people arrived to detain the 'especially dangerous criminal' and his four-month-old child," his wife, Alisa, wrote on the Telegram channel "Help for Mansur Gneev and His Family."
According to her, the charge was triggered by a September 19 video titled "Attack on Qatar/Zionists Won't Stop," which criticized Israel and contained radical Islamic messages in the context of the conflict between Israel and Qatar (the video received 7,600 views).
She noted that Mansur was subjected to violence during his arrest. The statement stated that Mansur had been arrested for two months, and that his family was seeking a lawyer. Gneev's wife added that his passport name is Boris and that he is 23 years old.
She also published a video of the apartment after the search, in which things were scattered around and the contents of the cabinets were turned out.
According to Gneev's wife, security forces, in particular, seized her phone, which had access to Mansur's YouTube channel.
At the same time, Kommersant reported that, according to unofficial information, the case is connected to a video posted by the blogger, in which he allegedly criticized the "Russian Community."
According to Gneev's YouTube channel, videos related to the "Russian Community" have been released at least twice recently—on August 19 and February 9. The first was viewed by 55,000 people, the second by 76,000.
Gneev's most recent video on his YouTube channel, which has 66,700 subscribers, was released on September 23. In it, he discusses property rights, specifically stating that any property can be lost in an instant if someone takes an interest in it, and the law is of no help. The video has garnered 4,400 views.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A man in his 40s has been arrested over a cyber attack that crippled Heathrow and other European airports over the weekend.
The UK National Crime Agency (NCA) said the suspect was detained in West Sussex on Tuesday on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences, and released on conditional bail.
Thousands of passengers faced disruption at multiple airports including Heathrow, Brussels - where half of all flights were cancelled - Berlin, Dublin and Cork.
The target of the cyber offensive was automated check-in and boarding software, MUSE, which is supplied by American firm Collins Aerospace and used by airlines globally.
Hundreds of flights were cancelled or delayed at airports across Europe. In Brussels and Berlin cancellations and delays are ongoing.
Passengers on flights that did take off were left in three-hour long queues at Heathrow, which advised its customers to check the status of their trip before travelling.
Some airports were forced to resort to boarding passengers manually, with delays not helped by major events such as the Berlin marathon, which left the German airport dealing with more passengers than usual.
The European Commission, which manages airspace across Europe, said it is monitoring the situation but added there were no signs the alleged cyber attack was 'widespread or severe'.
As the National Cyber Security Centre – the public-facing arm of GCHQ – launched an investigation on Friday night, experts said the attack could be linked to pro-Russia groups.
They pointed out the attack came hours after Russian jets breached NATO airspace by entering Estonia's skies and flying over its sovereign territory for 12 minutes.
Collins Aerospace is a major supplier of the Ukrainian military.
Deputy director Paul Foster, head of the NCA's National Cyber Crime Unit, said: 'Although this arrest is a positive step, the investigation into this incident is in its early stages and remains ongoing.
'Cybercrime is a persistent global threat that continues to cause significant disruption to the UK.
'Alongside our partners here and overseas, the NCA is committed to reducing that threat in order to protect the British public.'
The cyber attack hit major airports right before a busy September weekend of travel.
Disruption began on Friday night and continued throughout Saturday and into Sunday, with flights cancelled or delayed as the impacted airlines had to carry out check-in and boarding operations manually.
Passengers due to fly from Heathrow's Terminal 4 said they were met with queues, delays and confusion as to whether they would be able to make their planned trips.
Brussels Airport saw 50 outbound flights cancelled on Sunday, and nearly another 140 on Monday.
On Wednesday, the airport announced it was expecting 'limited disruption', but that some flights would still be delayed or cancelled.
Berlin Airport also reported ongoing issues and urged customers to use online check-in before arriving.
Parent company RTX said on Friday night: 'We have become aware of a cyber-related disruption to our MUSE software in select airports. We are actively working to resolve the issue and restore full functionality to our customers as quickly as possible.'

[IsraelTimes] Casey Goonan was inspired by Oct. 7 attack on Israel, court says; sentencing comes amid fears of increasing leftist violence in the US
An anti-Israel activist was sentenced to more than 19 years in prison on Tuesday for a series of arson and Molotov cocktailing attacks in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,.
Casey Goonan, 35, pleaded guilty to the attacks around the University of California, Berkeley campus and in Oakland in June 2024.
Goonan torched a university police department car with six Molotov cocktails, attempted to Molotov cocktail a federal building and courthouse in Oakland, and ignited other fires on the Berkeley campus the same month.
The US Attorney’s Office for the federal Northern District of California said Goonan had acknowledged the "attacks were inspired by Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... ’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel."
Goonan urged others to attack property on campuses in the area to support the Paleostinians, and admitted the attacks were meant to influence the government and retaliate against the US and California state governments.
The court labeled Goonan a "domestic terrorist."
He was sentenced to 235 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to one count of maliciously damaging or destroying property used in or affecting interstate commerce by means of fire or an explosive.
In addition to his prison sentence, Goonan will be subject to 15 years of supervised release after his sentence ends and will have to pay more than $94,000.
Goonan was arrested shortly after the attacks and has been held in jug since.
The sentencing came amid increased fears over political violence and left-wing violence in the US, particularly following the killings of conservative leader Charlie Kirk and US health care executive Brian Thompson this year.
A series of attackers in the US have referred to the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.
The shooter who killed two children in Minnesota last month posted videos that included antisemitic and anti-Israel messages; a gunman who killed a man at a New Hampshire wedding shooting this month shouted "Free Paleostine" during the attack; an anti-Israel activist has been indicted for murdering two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC, in May; and a June Molotov cocktailing attack against hostage advocates in Colorado killed an elderly woman.
Those attacks followed a series of attempted terrorist attacks against Jewish targets in the US since the start of the 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... war.
A survey this month found that liberals were more likely than other groups to say it was acceptable to celebrate the death of their opponents, especially younger liberals.
A separate poll this month found that 34% of college students said using violence to stop speech on campus was acceptable, at least in rare cases, a 10-point increase from four years ago.
An upcoming data study said that left-wing terrorism has increased since US President Donald Trump ...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried.... entered politics in 2016, and that this year is set to mark the first time in more than 30 years with more left-wing attacks than those from the far right.
Anti-Israel activist groups, including National Students for Justice in Paleostine and Columbia University protesters, have rallied behind Goonan and others convicted of violent mostly peaceful attacks.
Goonan is a transgender leftist with a Ph.D in "black studies" and has been tied to Antifa associated pro-Palestinian groups such as Palestine Action US (now "Unity of Fields"). He plead guilty to using homemade explosive devices in June 2024 to destroy a UCD police vehicle on campus and to attempt to firebomb the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Oakland.p

[GEO.TV] Nearly 35,000 parents in Sindh have reportedly refused to get their children vaccinated against polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain... virus, with the majority of refusals reporting from Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... .
The Pakistain Polio Eradication Programme, in collaboration with the Expanded Program on Immunisation (EPI), had carried out a vaccination campaign in 25 districts of the province from September 1 to 7.
The latest campaign had initially targeted 2.1 million children, but a significant number of children in Sindh, particularly Karachi, remained unvaccinated, the sources said.
The insiders added that out of the total 35,000 refusals in the province, around 34,000 were reported from Karachi as parents declined to administer the vaccine to their children.
They said that highest number of refusals was reported from Karachi's East district.
''Over 8,000 parents declined to administer drops of polio vaccine to their children in District East,'' the sources revealed.
The revelation came just a day after Sindh recorded its seventh polio case of 2025, with a child in the Hyderabad district confirmed to have the poliovirus.

[GEO.TV] At least five people were killed on Wednesday as police clashed with hundreds of protesters demanding greater autonomy in the Himalayan territory of Indian occupied Ladakh, leaving "dozens" injured, police said.
In the main city of Leh, demonstrators torched a police vehicle and the offices of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, while officers fired tear gas and used batons to disperse crowds, police said.
"Five deaths were reported after the protests," a police officer in Leh told AFP, on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to journalists. "The number of injured is in the dozens."
Another police officer, Regzin Sangdup, told AFP that "several people, including some coppers, were maimed."
Authorities later imposed restrictions on gatherings, banning assemblies of more than four people.

[GEO.TV] Security forces have eliminated 13 Indian-sponsored bully boyz during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Dera Ismail Khan ... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ... district, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Wednesday.
The IBO was conducted in DI Khan's "Daraban general area on reported presence of khwarij belonging to Indian Proxy, Fitna al Khwarij", said the military's media wing.
During the operation, our troops effectively engaged the terrorists' location, resulting in the killing of over a dozen Indian-sponsored terrorists, read the statement.
Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in these areas, said the ISPR.
The military's media wing added that the eliminated bully boyz were also involved in facilitating a suicide kaboom attack in Daraban in December 2023, abduction and murder of government officials and innocent civilians.
A sanitisation operation was also conducted in the area to eliminate any other terrorists.
"The security forces of Pakistain are determined to wipe out the menace of Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country," it concluded.
The country has witnessed a surge in cross-border terror incidents since Taliban ...Arabic for students... rulers returned to Afghanistan in 2021, particularly in the bordering provinces of KP and Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran.

In August, the incidents surged by 74% compared to July, according to a report by the Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS).

[GEO.TV] Al Jazeera reports that at least 51 Paleostinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across 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... since dawn on Wednesday, as bombardment intensified on multiple fronts.
Medical and emergency service sources said 36 of the victims were killed in Gaza City, where air and artillery strikes struck residential areas.
In the south, eight Paleostinians were killed while waiting for food aid at a distribution centre near Rafah. Rescue teams said the site was hit during desperate attempts by displaced families to obtain supplies.
Gaza’s Hamas-controlled civil defense agency reported that Israeli forces killed dozens of people across the enclave on Wednesday, as the military pressed its offensive in Gaza City, from where hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee.
The Israel Defense Forces, meanwhile, announced that a soldier in the Givati Brigade’s reconnaissance unit was seriously wounded by gunfire during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip. He was taken to a hospital for treatment, and his family has been notified.
Israel has launched a major air and ground offensive on Gaza City in a bid to root out Hamas after nearly two years of conflict sparked by the Palestinian terror group’s October 7, 2023, invasion of southern Israel.
Visiting Gaza City on Wednesday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir urged Palestinians to rebel against Hamas to bring about an end to the war.
“Most of Gaza’s population has already left the city, and we are moving them southward for their protection,” Zamir said during the visit alongside Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor and other commanders, according to remarks published by the IDF.
“I address the residents of Gaza: Rebel and separate yourselves from Hamas, it is responsible for your suffering. The war and the suffering will end if Hamas releases the hostages and gives up its weapons,” he said
Zamir also said the IDF was operating in Gaza City “with large forces… to create conditions for the release of the hostages and to defeat Hamas.”
The United Nations estimated at the end of August that around one million people lived in Gaza City and its surroundings, where it said there is a famine, a declaration that Israel has rejected as biased and methodologically flawed.
The IDF said Wednesday that roughly 700,000 people have since fled the city and moved southward, while the civil defense agency in its last update from a week ago put the number at around 450,000.
The rate of Palestinians leaving the area has risen in recent days as the IDF pushes deeper into Gaza City, where it said Wednesday that Nahal Infantry Brigade troops killed a gunman in a close-quarters.
In addition to killing the gunman, the military said Nahal troops located numerous weapons and military equipment, including IDF uniforms and destroyed a compound used by terror operatives, which resulted in a rocket being fired from the site.
VIDEO SHOWS GUNFIRE FROM GAZA HOSPITAL
Thaer Saqr, 39, told AFP on Wednesday he had left the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City the day before to head southwards with his wife, children and sister.
“The tanks on the coastal road… opened fire on us, and my sister was killed,” he claimed.
Saqr said he returned to Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital and “will not leave, even if they kill us all.”
“I appeal to the world: help us. I say to Israel: you want us to evacuate, but how can we when we have no shekels, no transportation, and no place?”
The civil defense agency said that “hundreds of families” had been sleeping on the ground for days after fleeing from northern Gaza, unable to secure temporary shelter.
The IDF on Wednesday revealed that Hamas gunmen opened fire from the Shifa Hospital compound several days ago, sharing footage from the incident.
“This use of a civilian structure, especially in an active hospital, constitutes further proof of the cynical and consistent modus operandi of the Hamas terror organization, which turns civilian infrastructure into manned terror headquarters,” the military says.
“In doing so, Hamas knowingly endangers the lives of patients, medical staff and innocent residents in the Strip,” it adds.
This video, released by the IDF on September 24, 2025, shows gunfire by Hamas operatives from Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. (Israel Defense Forces)
The IDF has raided Shifa Hospital twice since the beginning of the war, during which troops killed hundreds of gunmen, including top commanders in Hamas and Islamic Jihad, detained hundreds of terror suspects, uncovered tunnels and seized numerous weapons.
Despite overwhelming evidence, Hamas has denied operating from Shifa and other health facilities.
‘PITIFUL SIGHT’
Hama’s civil defense said Israeli forces killed 40 people in attacks across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, including 22 killed by three airstrikes on a warehouse sheltering displaced people near the Firas market in Gaza City.
The agency’s spokesman, Mahmud Bassal, said the dead included six women and nine children.
The IDF said that the strike targeted two Hamas operatives and that its forces tried to reduce harm to civilians in the area.
AFP footage following the attack showed a scene of devastation, with Palestinians combing through large piles of rubble and warped metal as two men carried away a body wrapped in tattered blankets.
In the aftermath, sobbing women knelt over their loved ones, hugging their lifeless bodies wrapped in white shrouds.
At least six bodies were laid out on the ground, including two the size of children.
Mohammed Hajjaj, who lost his relatives, told AFP that “heavy bombing” hit the building while people were asleep.
“We came and found children and women torn apart. It was a pitiful sight.”
‘DEATH WAS NEAR’
Israel launched its US-backed ground offensive on Gaza City earlier in September in a bid to seize the urban hub and crush Hamas.
The military has told Palestinians to relocate to a “humanitarian area” in the coastal area of al-Mawasi in the south, where it says aid, medical care and humanitarian infrastructure will be provided. Israel has carried out a number of strikes on the area targeting Hamas amid the war, including killing the terrorist organization’s chief military commander and October 7 mastermind Mohammed Deif last year.
Mahmud al-Dreimly, 44, said he had gone with his family a day earlier to live in a tent in Gaza City’s Al-Rimal neighborhood.
“I saw tanks firing into the air and sometimes at people,” he told AFP, adding: “I felt death was near.”
Dreimly said he saw tanks in the Tel al-Hawa and Al-Sabra neighborhoods, as well as on the outskirts of Al-Rimal.
The launch of the ground assault came as a UN probe accused Israel of committing “genocide” in the Gaza Strip, a claim that Jerusalem has denounced as “distorted and false.”
Since the October 7 terror onslaught, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 65,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed over 22,000 combatants in battle as of August and another 1,600 terrorists inside Israel during the October 7 onslaught.
Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools and mosques.
Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip stands at 470. The toll includes two police officers and three Defense Ministry civilian contractors.

[GEO.TV] At least 22 people were maimed on Wednesday after a drone launched from 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... hit Israel's Red Sea resort city of Eilat on the border with Jordan and Egypt, the Israeli national ambulance service Magen David Adom said.

The Israeli military said a drone launched from Yemen fell in Eilat, adding only that interception attempts were made.
The newspaper Israel Hayom said citing an initial investigation that air defence systems failed to intercept the drone.

[REGNUM] It appears a dark cat has crossed paths between the Israeli military and the Gaza Control Committee, a group of pro-Israel Bedouin militias. Following a series of controversial incidents in the enclave, loyalists are suspected of leaking intelligence to Hamas.
Moreover, in some cases, it's not just leaks from the lower echelons. Several high-profile figures have come under suspicion in Tel Aviv.
LIBERATION MOVEMENT
A pro-Israeli militia emerged in the Gaza Strip in late 2024 as an anarchic formation fighting against all local factions. However, it only gained widespread notoriety six months later, when it transformed into the "Gaza Governance Committee" and directly challenged Hamas.
The head of the Committee, Yasser Abu Shabab, is a native of a local Bedouin clan who was arrested several years ago by Palestinian security services for drug trafficking and fraud and escaped from prison after the outbreak of hostilities in the enclave.
The group boasts of its ties to the Palestinian National Authority and positions itself as a Palestinian liberation movement, but in reality it is an Israeli proxy. And it seems to be making little effort to hide its external funding.
In particular, after the start of the active phase of Operation Gideon Bet's Chariots, Abu Shabab supporters warmly welcomed "Tel Aviv's determination" and expressed their readiness to join the "war of liberation." They also formed a combined force of up to 400 men, which joined the advancing Israeli forces.
GOOD PERFORMERS
Until recently, Israeli command had no major issues with the Bedouin militias. Despite their poor combat training and lack of coordination, the loyalists unquestioningly carried out Israeli command orders.
They were the first to be sent into dangerous areas to conduct reconnaissance in force, which allowed the Israeli army (IDF) to avoid using regular units and thereby reduce reported losses.
Another persuasive factor was the fact that among the Abu Shabab fighters there were many “former Hamas supporters” from among the disillusioned, who were aware of the location of camouflaged passages, additional underground communications, and caches of weapons and ammunition both in Gaza and in the satellite cities.
Thanks in large part to this, the Israelis were able to break through the Palestinian resistance's defenses in certain areas and quickly advance into the settlements of Jabaliya and Beit Hanoun.
Moreover, the "fee" for participating in the operation among Hamas' opponents was comparatively small. In exchange for aiding Tel Aviv, the Committee's supporters demanded monthly payments of $200-$300 (for comparison, the salary of a regular IDF reservist starts at $500), as well as land plots in the enclave for those who distinguished themselves.
Over time, loyalists practically stopped claiming to be part of the Gaza governing bodies and even began calling themselves “Popular Forces” (or “Populars”) instead of the “Gaza Governance Committee” in order to avoid awkward questions.
It's no surprise that the Israeli General Staff considered Bedouin militias good at dirty work. Therefore, they turned a blind eye to some of their activities, such as racketeering and looting in Israeli-controlled territories, as well as settling scores with civilians.
A SERIES OF LEAKS
However, despite their generally loyal attitude, the Israeli military doesn't demonstrate much trust in the Committee. And after a series of controversial incidents that have occurred recently, this suspicion has only increased.
Thus, during the advance of a joint IDF and loyalist group near the borders of the As-Sabra region (northern part of Gaza City), the unit fell into a well-planned Hamas ambush and suffered losses.
Although no Israeli soldiers were seriously injured (three Committee members were killed in the shootout, and another IDF soldier was slightly wounded), the group's leadership blamed the Bedouins for the failure.
A few hours later, another incident occurred: the platoon commander of the Shaked Battalion (part of the 162nd Armored Division "Ha-Plada") was seriously wounded. He was part of a group checking posts in an area that had already been cleared of Hamas and was patrolled by loyalist forces. Moreover, according to reports from the field, one of the Bedouins opened fire. It later turned out to be a disguised Hamas fighter.
The increasing frequency of crises involving militias forced the Israeli General Staff to involve the Shin Bet Security Service (Shin Bet). After analyzing the two incidents, Shin Bet investigators concluded that the incidents were the result of leaks of intelligence from the Shin Bet.
LOOKING UP
The Shin Bet is convinced that this incident was not a one-time leak. The rank-and-file soldiers involved in the operation were unaware of many of the details used by Hamas agents in preparing recent operations. They also could not have been aware of the IDF's plans to inspect patrols with an officer, as the inspectors arrived in the area without insignia. This means the "mole" was positioned much higher in the Shin Bet hierarchy.
Israeli security officials have placed Ghassan al-Dukhini, one of Abu Shabab's deputies, under suspicion. Despite being considered the most pro-Israel figure within the Committee and even personally congratulating Israelis on Rosh Hashanah, his biography is not without its murky spots.
Moreover, al-Dukhini's relatives were former members of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and at least two of them had connections to the security forces.
Al-Duhini is also credited with some questionable personnel decisions within the group, such as the appointment of Palestinian Ghassan al-Dani, who participated in the kidnapping of Israeli Sergeant Major Gilad Shalit in the early 2000s, to a command post.
The decision sparked further tensions between IDF personnel, some of whom belonged to the same brigade as Shalit, and loyalists—the incident nearly resulted in violence. Counterintelligence officials are inclined to believe that it could well be interpreted as a deliberate provocation.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the Shin Bet's interest in al-Dukhini among Israeli security forces arose not without the participation of his boss, Abu Shabab.
Using recent incidents as an excuse to blame a close ally, the head of the Committee preemptively removes a powerful and ambitious subordinate. Despite his blemishes, he has a far less criminal past than the current leader of the loyalists. Therefore, he could potentially take a position in Gaza's transitional government.
However, if al-Dukhini's innocence is proven, Abu Shabab may be in trouble.
