Il-76 military transport plane crashed in Sudan.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] A Sudanese military transport cargo plane crashed near the town of Babanusa in western Sudan. This was reported on November 5 by the Sudan Tribune, citing the country's armed forces command.

According to the Sudanese army, the crash occurred on November 4 in West Kordofan state due to a "sudden malfunction of the right wing." The aircraft was on a mission to deliver supplies to military units surrounded by the Rapid Reaction Force (RRF) in the Babanusa area. After losing control, the aircraft caught fire and crashed in an uninhabited area, several dozen kilometers from the military base.

The military statement noted that the crew managed to divert the plane away from army positions before the crash. All on board were killed.

The Sudanese armed forces also reported that air defense systems shot down an "enemy strategic drone" that attempted to enter regional airspace.

The SBR claimed to have shot down a military aircraft over Babanusa and released video footage from the crash site. They also indicated that the aircraft in question was a Russian-made Il-76. However, Sudanese authorities have not confirmed this information.

Riots Continue in Western Mexico After Crime-Fighting Mayor's Murder
[Breitbart] Riots continue in the Mexican state of Michoacan following the murder of a local mayor who had gained fame for his hard stance against crime and cartels. In the most recent riots, protesters set fire to the city hall building in Apatzingan as locals called for the ousting of cartel-connected politicians from Mexico’s ruling party, MORENA.

The issue first began over the weekend, when, as Breitbart Texas reported, a gunman assisted by two other men shot and killed the mayor of Uruapan, Carlos Manzo, during a Day of the Dead celebration. Manzo had garnered a massive following throughout Mexico for his hard stance against narco mobs that included ordering his local police force to fight them head-on, and exposing state and federal officials and their complicity in protecting criminal organizations.

By Monday afternoon, hundreds of protesters marched outside the governor’s palace in Morelia, demanding his resignation. As Breitbart Texas has reported, Michoacan’s Governor Alfredo Ramirez Bedolla is the nephew of a convicted drug lord serving prison time in the U.S.
…and they elected him??
and the cousin of a second drug lord.
Worse and worse.
The protesters in Morelia soon turned violent mostly peaceful and stormed the governor’s palace, vandalizing the inside and setting fire to it.

The riots continued on Tuesday evening when a group rushed into the Uruapan City Hall, where they set fire to the building and also hung a banner asking for the ousting of the local mayor, Fanny Arreol, who hails from the MORENA party, the same party as the state governor and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. According to El Diario de Juarez, Arreola has been harshly criticized for promoting narco-corridos or regional music that highlights the cartel lifestyle in city events.

Mexican Army Kills 13 Gunmen During Shootout in Sinaloa
[Breitbart] Authorities in Mexico confirmed a large-scale shootout in the hyperviolent western state of Sinaloa, where 13 gunmen died while trying to ambush a squad of Mexican soldiers. In the aftermath of the clash, authorities also reported rescuing nine kidnapping victims.
intact?
The clash took place on Monday shortly after 12:45 p.m. when a convoy of Mexican soldiers was traveling near the city of Guasave. When they came up to a highway underpass, a group of gunmen tried to ambush the soldiers, said Mexico’s top security official Omar Garcia Harfuch in a social media post.

Mexican military forces fought off the attack, killing 13 gunmen, and then began a series of search operations in an attempt to track down the rest of the gunmen. During those operations, authorities arrested four other gunmen and rescued nine kidnapping victims.

Mexican authorities did not reveal which cartel the gunmen belong to. However, the region is home to the Sinaloa Cartel, which has been waging a fierce internal turf war between its two main factions, the Mayos and the Chapitos. As Breitbart Texas reported, the war started more than a year ago after the leaders of Los Chapitos called a meeting with Sinaloa Cartel boss Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, only to capture him and fly him to Texas. Since then, Zambada has pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court and is facing a life term in prison.

El Mayo’s arrest turned his family against their former allies, Los Chapitos, setting off a fierce turf war that has led to thousands of murders, forced disappearances, and numerous large-scale shootouts, which have terrorized the residents of western Mexico.

The shootout in Guasave comes at a time when Mexico’s government has been widely criticized for its ineffectiveness in containing cartel violence, as well as widespread allegations of cartel connections surrounding the top members of Mexico’s ruling political party.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Investigative Committee has completed its investigation into the militant attack on police officers in Dagestan
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The investigation into a terrorist attack in Dagestan that resulted in the death of a police officer has been completed. This was reported by the press service of the Russian Investigative Committee.

"The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Dagestan has completed its investigation into a criminal case against a local resident. He is accused of committing crimes under Articles 205, 205.4, 205.5, 317, 226, and 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation," the agency clarified.

According to the investigation, the accused, together with his accomplice, adhering to the ideology of an international terrorist organization (banned in Russia), created a terrorist community.
Probably ISIS or Al Qaeda. Originally, of course, there were only independents and Al Qaeda affilitates. In 2015 ISIS was the hot new thing. But now that Al Nusra/Hatay Tahrir al Sham has conquered Syria, their star might be ascendent again.
"The collected evidence fully confirms the accused's involvement in the incriminated acts, and therefore the criminal case has been sent for approval of the indictment," the Investigative Committee added.

On May 5, armed assailants attacked traffic police officers in Makhachkala. Three people, including two police officers, were killed in the shootout. According to regional governor Sergei Melikov, the shooter was a driver who the officers were attempting to stop. The city implemented the "Intercept" plan. One assailant was killed, and the second was detained with injuries.

Judenfrei: Protesters prevent Israeli tourists from disembarking cruise ship in Crete
[IsraelTimes] About 1,000 Israeli travelers were unable to disembark from a cruise ship in the Greek island of Crete yesterday after a group of pro-Paleostinian protesters blocked the port’s exit, Hebrew media reports.

Several dozen demonstrators harassed the passengers of the Israeli-owned Mano Maritime cruise ship as it reached the port of Souda, holding signs with anti-Israel messages and chanting "Free Paleostine," according to Ynet.

As some passengers boarded buses toward the nearby city of Chania, protesters threw stones, hurled curses, and made throat-slitting gestures, witnesses say.

Police were unable to protect the Israeli group as the demonstrators blocked the gates, other witnesses add.
or unwilling
Many passengers chose to stay aboard or return to the ship, which later sailed back to Israel. No injuries were reported.

"We feared for our lives," Hava, one of the passengers, tells Ynet. "It is a scandal that tourists from a sovereign country are treated this way."

Protesters in Greece, a popular Israeli tourist destination, have targeted Israelis several times in the past year. In August, anti-Israel groups held demonstrations at dozens of locations around Greece in a "day of rage" to protest Israel’s war against Hamas

Man arrested on suspicion of promising to procur weapons for attack on Jewish targets in Germany
[IsraelTimes] Authorities say Afghan suspect, arrested in Denmark, offered to supply weapons for an Iran-linked plot targeting Jews in Berlin

A man suspected of promising to get weapons for an attack on Jewish targets in Germany was arrested Wednesday in Denmark, Germany’s top prosecutor said.

The suspect, an Afghan national who was identified as Tawab M. in line with German privacy rules, had allegedly been in contact with a Danish national who is suspected of gathering information on Jewish locations and individuals in Berlin for Iranian intelligence, possibly with a view to attacks.

The federal prosecutor said that in late May, Tawab M. promised Ali S. that he would obtain a weapon for a third person and persuade them to attack Jewish targets in Germany. Tawab M. allegedly has a history of procuring weapons, accessories and bombs in Denmark.

The third person’s identity is unknown. Ali S. was arrested in June and is being prosecuted separately.

Tawab M. was taken into custody on suspicion of having agreed to incite another person to commit a homicide, the prosecutor said. The arrest warrant was issued last month.

He will be brought before a judge in Germany to determine whether he will be kept in jug pending formal charges after extradition from Denmark. It wasn’t immediately clear when that will happen.

The arrest came as German authorities intensified efforts to curb bad boy Islamist networks. Earlier Wednesday, the federal interior ministry banned the Moslem Interaktiv association, accusing it of anti-constitutional activities in calling for the establishment of a caliphate.

Police also searched seven properties in Hamburg and 12 more in Berlin and the state of Hesse as part of investigations into Generation Islam and Realitaet Islam, two other Islamic organizations suspected of similar activities.

Founded in 2020, Moslem Interaktiv organized demonstrations and maintained an active presence across social media platforms. Under the ban, the group will be disbanded and its assets confiscated, the ministry said.

German security authorities stepped up protection for Jewish and Israeli facilities after a 12-day war broke out between Israel and 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 Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
in June.

Germany is a staunch ally of Israel and has a history of tense relations with Tehran, though it has been one of the three leading European powers trying to engage Iran in diplomacy over its nuclear program.

In October, Germany ordered the closure of all three Iranian Consulates in the country in response to the Iranian judiciary’s announcement of the execution of Iranian German prisoner Jamshid Sharmahd, who lived in the United States and was kidnapped in Dubai in 2020 by Iranian security forces. That left the Islamic Theocratic Republic with only its embassy in Berlin.

France driver plows through 10 people on Île -d’Oléron
[NYPOST] A driver shouted ''Allahu Akbar'' after he deliberately plowed into ten people during a violent rampage in western France on Wednesday, critically injuring four, according to reports.

The brutal scene happened just before 9 a.m. in he villages of Dolus-d’Oléron and Saint-Pierre--d’Oléron on Île d’Oléron, an island off the west coast of France, Le Parisien reported.

The male driver, identified as a French nationalist in his thirties known to police for petty crimes, rammed his car into the crowd that consisted of pedestrians and cyclists.

Some of the ten people, including two who are in critical condition, were airlifted to the University Hospital of Poitiers, according to the outlet. Their ages range from 22 to 67.

The unidentified driver was detained near the crash scene, attempting to light his car on fire.

The driver shouted “Allahu Akbar” during his arrest, the outlet reported, citing the local prosecutor’s office.
Why would a French nationalist shout that? I can understand a jihadi, but a jihadi would not kill for the nation of France.
“Multiple accidents occurred in Saint Pierre and Dolus,” Dolus-d’Oléron Mayor Thibault Brechkoff wrote on Facebook. “They were caused by someone deliberately causing these accidents.”

An investigation was opened into the cause and motive behind the crash, including if the driver suffered from psychiatric disorders or was abusing drugs or alcohol.
Or maybe a stoopid religion that finds peace in killing and maiming people.
The Times of Israel gives us a partial name:
Charente Libre newspaper named the suspect as Jacques G and said he was French. It did not cite its sources.

A source following the case said the man had “deliberately hit” the victims, across several kilometers (miles).

Pro-Israel student group in Toronto says event with IDF veterans ‘stormed’ by anti-Israel activists
[IsraelTimes] A pro-Israel student group in Toronto, Canada, says its event with IDF veterans was “stormed” by anti-Israel protesters, causing injuries.

Student Supporting Israel at Toronto Metropolitan University posts videos on social media showing the altercation between the pro-Israel students and masked protesters at the off-campus event at which former IDF soldiers were due to speak.

An anti-Israel activist chants, “We refuse to allow war criminals in our city,” while the pro-Israel students shout, “Get out,” and “Call 911.”

Other videos show the pro-Israel students barricading themselves behind a glass door with furniture as the masked protesters gather on the other side.

The two groups shout at each other through the glass door before the glass is smashed. It’s unclear which side broke the glass.

The pro-Israel group shares a video of blood seeping out of a sliced forearm, as a woman cries in the background.

“Broken glass. Blood everywhere. All because we’re Jewish — and tried to open dialogue,” the group says in a statement.

Toronto police say that officers made multiple arrests after a group of demonstrators forced their way into a building, that one person was injured, and that there was a “significant police presence” in the area.

The university’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine says on Instagram, “Our universities refuse to hold war criminals accountable. We will hold them accountable.”

Hillel Ontario says in a statement that it is “aware” of the reports of an “anti-Jewish mob violently disrupting an event sponsored by Students Supporting Israel.”

“This follows Students for Justice in Palestine Toronto Metropolitan University sharing a call to interfere with the event and encouraging others to do so,” it notes.

“There should be no space for violence or intimidation on our campus or in our city. We call on the TMU administration to take urgent and immediate steps to ensure those who perpetrated today’s incident are held to account.”

Toronto synagogue vandalized for 10th time since 2024

[IsraelTimes] Vandals smashed the exterior windows of Kehillat Shaarei Torah in Toronto yesterday in what the synagogue says is the tenth time it has been attacked since April 2024.

Four or five windows were damaged in the early morning attack, local news station report.

In a video with a timestamp of 4:30 a.m., surveillance cameras show a thin young man wearing a black hooded jacket jumping up to attack the windows with what seems to be a hammer in his left hand. The suspect, who is believed to have also been involved in some of the previous attacks, has not yet been identified.

A spokesperson for the temple told CTV News Toronto that the suspect scaled a fence that was erected around the building with funding received through the federal government’s Canada Community Security Program.

Rabbi Joe Kanofsky tells CTV that members of the 45-year-old synagogue plan to continue their regular routine throughout the police investigation.

“The idea (of the vandalism) is to disrupt. So we had our service this morning, at seven o’clock, we had a full quorum show up, and we continue to do what we do,” he says.

…protestors, cosplaying as Hamas terrorists, violently forced their way into the program while Jewish students barricaded themselves behind a glass door and furniture.

The attack left multiple Jewish attendees injured, one of them bleeding from a deep cut in their forearm.

Toronto police made multiple arrests. We have to start calling this what it is: domestic terrorism.

SJP proudly stormed this event with the intention of using violence and intimidation against Jewish students. This is terrorism.

Antisemitism is out of control in Canada. It’s not normal. It can’t continue to be the new normal.

FBI names 3rd Michigan man charged in Halloween terror attack plot; 2 suspects in NJ also indicted
[IsraelTimes] US investigators say a third Michigan man is now facing charges in a plot to stage a terror attack on Halloween. He traveled to Cedar Point, an amusement park in Ohio, to scout the location, they say.

Ayob Nasser, 19, was arrested Wednesday. He is accused of participating in the planning of a possible attack on LGBTQ+ bars in suburban Detroit that was inspired by the Islamic State, federal authorities have said.

Also on Wednesday evening, acting US Attorney Alina Habba in New Jersey says in a video posted to social media that her office charged two more people “connected” to the alleged plot. Court documents detailing the charges aren’t immediately available.

Nasser, his brother Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud are charged with conspiracy to provide material support and resources to a designated terrorist organization and receiving and transferring guns and ammunition for terrorism, according to court documents.

Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud were arrested Friday. Investigators say two minors, identified only as Person 1 and Person 2 in court documents, were also involved in the discussions.

Orlando’s Pulse nightclub shooting inspired ISIS-linked Halloween terror plot: court docs

[Yahoo] A thwarted Halloween terror attack in suburban bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
was partially inspired by the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, according to court documents.

That attack began as an active shooting and evolved into a barricade situation with hostages. It left 49 dead and 53 maimed, in what authorities at th etime called the worst terror attack on U.S. soil since 9/11.

According to the FBI, two 20-year-old men from Dearborn, Michigan, and a juvenile accomplice were allegedly plotting to similarly shoot up one or more clubs in Ferndale, a nearby community known for its LGBT nightlife.

Mohmed Ali, Majed Mahmoud and a juvenile identified under the alias "Athari" scouted Ferndale in September as part of a plot to shoot up Americans they dubbed "pumpkin," according to court documents.

The scouting trips were particularly suspicious to Sherlocks because none of the suspects are over 21 years old, ruling out legitimate visits to bars or clubs.

There were about 300 people in the Pulse nightclub when Omar Mateen
... the Afghan-"American" who decided he was a soldier of the Caliphate and shot fifty unarmed people to death in a Florida gay bar he used to frequent...
barged in and opened fire around 2 a.m. on June 12, 2016. Many of them, but not all, were part of the local LGBT community, according to authorities.

During an hours-long standoff, Mateen dialed 911 and a local news station, swearing allegiance to ISIS in both calls.

SWAT team officers killed him at around 5:15 a.m., breaching a wall and exchanging gunfire after hostage negotiations failed.

As the FBI was surveilling the suspects in the Michigan plot, agents intercepted messages claiming that Ali and Athari would "do the same thing as La Belle France" and that their alleged attack was "probably going to be at like a club, a disco."

Ali and Mahmoud are being held without bail until at least next Monday, when they are due in federal court in Detroit for detention hearings.

The FBI executed search warrants Friday on the two men's homes and a storage unit they shared, seizing multiple semiautomatic rifles, a shotgun, handguns, tactical gear and more than 1,600 rounds of 5.56 ammunition.

Agents also recovered surveillance video showing Ali and other alleged conspirators at a Michigan gun range, where they are accused of practicing shooting in preparation for the foiled attack.

According to an FBI affidavit, the conspirators drew inspiration from the Pulse shooting and the 2015 coordinated terror attacks in Gay Paree, La Belle France, which killed 137 and injured more than 400.

In Michigan, the suspects also sought advice from the father of a local "Islamic bad boy ideologue," according to the FBI affidavit, allegedly seeking religious approval for the plot.

They also allegedly discussed choosing a date that would be celebrated by subsequent radical Islamic terrorists.

Lawyers for Ali and Mahmoud declined to comment.

Hamas terrorist who held six hostages killed in airstrike last month, IDF announces
Another one bites the dust.
[IsraelTimes] A Hamas terrorist who was responsible for holding six Israeli hostages in captivity was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip last month, the IDF and Shin Bet announce.

According to the military, Zeid Zaki Abd al-Hadi Aqel held hostages Bar Kuperstein, Ohad Ben Ami, Maxim Herkin, Elkana Bohbot, Segev Kalfon, and Yosef-Haim Ohana in captivity. All six have since been released.

Aqel was targeted in a strike on October 29, the IDF says, which came as part of a wave of strikes against Hamas in response to a deadly attack on troops in the Rafah area during the ceasefire.

...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.

IDF says troops found cache of Hamas weapons in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood

[IsraelTimes] Amid the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza, the IDF says troops deployed to Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood — on the eastern side of the Yellow Line — located a cache of weapons belonging to Hamas.

The arms depot was found by troops of the 252nd Division in “the heart of the Shejaiya neighborhood,” the army says.

The site was used by Hamas to store various types of explosive devices, as well as rockets.

The IDF says it remains deployed in Gaza “in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.”

#1  The incident involving MG T-Y is a big story in Israel's security establishment.

It appears that the leaked video was a product doctored to make it appear that prisoners were being mistreated. Not clear ATM who the people were that doctored the video (uniformed personel or contract employees). It does seem that MG knew the video was doctored.

IDF drone strike in southern Lebanon kills operative in Hezbollah’s Radwan force

[IsraelTimes] Hussein Jaber Dib ‘advanced terror attacks against the State of Israel and its citizens,’ says military, after hitting his car near town of Burj Rahal; Lebanon says another wounded

The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday killed a member of the Hezbollah terror group’s elite Radwan Force in a dronezap in southern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel...
The strike also maimed one person, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

The operative killed, Hussein Jaber Dib, had "advanced terror attacks against the State of Israel and its citizens," the military said.

He was killed in a strike targeting a car near the southern Lebanon town of Burj Rahal. The IDF published a video of the attack.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said the attack took place near a school, causing "panic and terror" among the students.

Since the start of the November 2024 ceasefire in Lebanon, the IDF has killed more than 330 Hezbollah operatives in strikes, including 20 in the past month alone, according to the military.

Israel says the operatives were violating the terms of the truce, which allows the IDF to respond to immediate threats.

Israel warned Sunday that it will intensify its attacks against Hezbollah, with Defense Minister Israel Katz claiming the group is "playing with fire, and the president of Lebanon is dragging his feet."

Hezbollah was badly weakened during the war, and the United States has pressured Lebanon to disarm it.

On Tuesday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reiterated his call for negotiations with Israel, saying the latter "has not yet defined its position and continues its attacks."
