[AlAhram] Egyptian police potted eight gunnies on Tuesday after a shootout broke out while security forces conducted a raid on a terrorist training camp in North Sinai’s El-Arish, the interior ministry said in a statement.
The raid was carried out based on intelligence obtained by the National Security agency, which indicated that the suspects were involved in several terrorist attacks in the governorate.
A number of weapons as well as improvised bombs (IEDs) were found at the site.
The suspects’ identities or affiliations have not yet been determined.
Most of the terrorist attacks that have taken place in North Sinai in recent years, which have mostly targeted security forces, have been claimed by the ISIS-affiliated North Sinai-based group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis.
Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement has released footage of the moment its forces shot down an F-15 fighter jet belonging to the Saudi-led coalition. American equipment destroying American equipment.
The video released by the Houthi-run al-Masirah television network early on Tuesday shows the exact moment when the aircraft is hit by a surface-to-air missile while flying over the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, the previous day. Looks like he was flying straight, turned on the afterburners, dropped two flares and then boom. No evasive maneuvers?

On the other hand, I can guarantee that he's a member of a clan closely allied to House of Saud

...Notice though that as spectacular as the video is, there is no indication that the -15S actually went down - I'm thinking what we saw here is a MANPADS (think Stinger, or other man-portable SAM) shot that didn't QUITE reach it's intended target. I'm guessing the Eagle driver needed new underwear when he got back, but he's otherwise okay.

Best plane in the world is only as good as the pilot and mechanics.
[IsraelTimes] A German-Ottoman Turkish soccer player whose car was shot at on a German highway is in a "safe place" and receiving police protection after the apparent liquidation attempt, his lawyer says.
Deniz Naki, who plays in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... and is known for his pro-Kurdish views, was unharmed in the shooting late Sunday which he believes was linked to his criticism of the Ottoman Turkish government.
The 28-year-old tells German media his SUV came under fire from a black van on the A4 motorway near the western town of Dueren, leaving two bullets lodged in his car.
"I was afraid for my life," says German-born Naki, who plays for the third-tier club Amedspor in the majority-Kurdish city of Diyarbakir. "I am a walking target in Turkey because of my pro-Kurdish stance," he is quoted as saying.
German prosecutors have opened an investigation into attempted murder, and coppers have since taken Naki to "a hidden location" as a precaution, his lawyer Soran Haldi Mizrak tells the DPA news agency.

The man, who wasn't identified, is alleged to have posted videos on social media between July and December 2016 in which he urged support for IS and attempted to solicit new recruits for the group.

[DAWN] At least seven people were killed on Quetta's Zarghoon Road when a jacket wallah rammed into a parked police truck on Tuesday, injuring 16 people, police said.
Five coppers and two passers-by were among those killed, Inspector General of Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... Police Moazzam Jah Ansari told news hounds. He said eight copperswere maimed in the attack.
According to News Agency that Dare Not be Named, the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP) grabbed credit for the attack, saying a suicide bomber targeted a police contingent returning from duty at the provincial assembly building.
IG Ansari said the suicide bomber had walked up to the scene and went kaboom! near the back of the police truck. He said the earlier impression that the attacker could have travelled to the truck on a cycle of violence was not correct.
Bomb Disposal Squad officials said 10 kilograms of explosives had been used in the attack. Most deaths occurred due to the impact from ball bearings and pellets stored in the bomber's suicide jacket, said the IG.
IG Ansari while talking to news hounds said he could "tell in advance" that the suicide bomber must have come from across the Afghan border, as DNA tests showed suicide bombers involved in previous attacks in Quetta were foreign nationals too.
He said the Lions of Islam had targeted police in the attack and not the Balochistan Assembly, which is in the same area, as the blast occurred an hour after the assembly session had ended.
The injured, which include security personnel and civilians, were shifted to Quetta Civil Hospital's trauma centre after being administered first aid, the hospital's front man told DawnNews.

[DAWN] Pakistain has suspended military and intelligence cooperation with the United States in the wake of US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's allegation that Pakistain has given the US "nothing but lies and deceit" and suspension of security aid for Pakistain, Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan said while addressing a gathering at Institute of Strategic Studies in Islamabad on Tuesday.
Speaking during a seminar titled 'Contours of Security Environment of Pakistain', Khan said the US is facing defeat in Afghanistan despite spending billions of dollars. He alleged that the US is using Pakistain as a 'scapegoat' for its failures in Afghanistan.
"Pakistain does not want to put a price on its sacrifices but wants them to be recognised," the defence minister said, adding that Pakistain will not allow Afghanistan's war to be fought on Pak territory.
Khan also said that the US is busy in a blame game against Pakistain rather than providing it with assistance to secure the Pak-Afghan border.
The US Embassy in Islamabad said it had not been informed about the suspension of military cooperation by Pakistain.
"We have not received any formal communication regarding a suspension," Embassy front man Richard Snelsire said, according to VOA news.
Answering a question during the seminar, the defence minister said that Pakistain took the right steps by blocking NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... supplies to Afghanistan in the aftermath of 2011 attack at Salala check post.
But Pakistain is not taking the same route after Trump's recent tirade as it is a "leverage we want to use at the appropriate time", he clarified.

On Monday, Jabbar al-Maamouri, senior leader with al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) said in remarks that the militant group executed some of its members in Salahuddin province for refusing to carry out suicide attacks.
Mutaibija has complicated terrain, with numerous hills that serve as a good hideout for militants.

[IsraelTimes] Jerusalem Police chief Yoram Halevy issues an order preventing a planned gathering in East Jerusalem of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Paleostine ... a breakaway faction of the Pöpular Frönt för the Liberation of Paleostine. The are regarded as the most intellectual of Paleostinian fedayeen groups, smoking cheap cigarettes and drawing heavily on Marxist-Leninist theory to explain their crappy lives. They can occasionally be seen strutting through the streets of Paleostine, dressed up like soldiers and lugging firearms, though they seldom manage to hit anything and then usually by accident. This may be because of their habit of wearing black masks that cut off most of their vision. That would also explain their habit of occasionally walking into walls, which is a well-known attribute of those immersed in true understanding of the dialectic... , a Paleostinian terror group.
The event was slated to take place Tuesday, but officers arrive at the scene and prevent it from taking place, according to Hebrew media reports.
Three organizers are taken for questioning.
The DFLP has been relatively inactive in recent years, but was once a prominent terror group. It carried out the infamous Ma’alot massacre in 1974 in which 25 people, most of them Israeli schoolchildren, were murdered.
[IsraelTimes] Israeli security forces incarcerated Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! on Tuesday a Paleostinian teenage girl who was found in possession of a utility knife and a bottle of gasoline at a bus stop in the central West Bank, the army said.
An Israeli civilian spotted the teenager behaving suspiciously at the Shiloh Junction, north of Ramallah. He drew his pistol and called on her to halt.
The girl then took out and threw away the knife that she had in her possession, an army spokesperson said.
A short while later, Israel Defense Forces soldiers arrived on the scene and placed her under arrest. During a search of her bag, they found the plastic bottle full of gasoline, the IDF said.
"She is now being questioned," the spokesperson said.
[Ynet] A Paleostinian man was tossed in the clink Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in the Shilo Junction in Samaria following a suspected stabbing attempt. No injuries were reported.
[IsraelTimes] Victim of deadly drive-by shooting attack named as Rabbi Raziel Shevach, a father of six who lived in a nearby settlement.
Israeli troops launched a manhunt in the northern West Bank on Tuesday night, after a fatal terror attack in which an Israeli rabbi was rubbed out while driving down a highway outside Nablus, the army said.
Paleostinian media reported that Israeli troops had closed down roads in the area and had begun entering nearby Paleostinian villages in a search for the Death Eaters behind the shooting.
The military confirmed that it had set up road closures around the Nablus area, following a "situational assessment" by the head of the army’s Central Command, Maj. Gen. Roni Numa, the head of the Judea and Samaria Division, Brig. Gen. Eran Niv, and the head of the Samaria Brigade, Col. Gilad Amit.
"A number of actions were decided upon in order to locate the Death Eaters who committed the shooting attack, including security checks upon entrances and exits to and from the city of Nablus and placing forces and security crossings across the city," the army said.
"Additional forces were called to the scene in order to complete missions in the area," the military said in a statement.
Following the shooting attack outside the Havat Gilad outpost, settlers from the nearby Yitzhar community entered the adjacent Paleostinian village of Burin and began throwing rocks at Paleostinian residents, the Israel Defense Forces said. IDF soldiers who arrived at the scene dispersed the rock-throwing settlers, an army spokesperson said. There were no reports of serious injuries.
In a rare move, the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terrorist group’s military wing released a statement praising the attack, calling it "heroic" and a sign of future attacks to come, though the organization did not take responsibility for the shooting.
"The attack outside Nablus is the first real response to show the leaders of the enemies and those that are behind them (the United States), that things that you fear ‐ are coming," Hamas said in a statement, according to the Ynet news site.
Israeli defense officials have repeatedly warned that Hamas is looking to carry out terror attacks in the West Bank.
Shortly before 8:00 p.m., 35-year-old father of six Rabbi Raziel Shevach was driving in his car on the highway near his home in the Havat Gilad outpost when shots were fired at him from a passing car. Shevach was shot in the neck, but managed to call his wife and tell her to call an ambulance.
Civilian and military medics rushed to the scene and tried to stop the bleeding as they took him to Kfar Saba’s Meir Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He's dead, Jim! Soldiers immediately began searching the area for the shooters.
Shevach’s funeral will be held at the Havat Gilad outpost at 1 p.m. Wednesday.
The head of the local settler council, Yossi Dagan, harshly criticized the government for failing to install security cameras in the area.
"If they had been (installed), these vile murderers would have been caught. Raziel was killed near the community of Gilad Farms, where there are no security apparatuses, despite repeated requests from my regional council," Dagan said in a statement.
"This terrible attack should be a tremendous warning sign," he added.
In November, Dagan launched a hunger strike along with representatives of bereaved families calling on the government to immediately transfer funds to improve West Bank’s security infrastructure. The campaign ended with an agreement signed by Netanyahu which puts in writing a pledge to include NIS 800 million ($228 million) in the 2018 budget to be used for West Bank roads and infrastructure development.
In December, the government approved an additional NIS 40 million ($11.5 million) grant for Israeli local and regional councils in the West Bank. Yesha settlement umbrella council front man Yigal Dilmoni told The Times of Israel then that the allocation is merely an allocation that the settlements receive annually.
Clashes reportedly broke out between Paleostinians and Israeli settlers in the West Bank following the funeral of Rabbi Raziel Shevach who was murdered in a terror attack last night.
Reports in Hebrew-language media say no one was injured in the incident near the Paleostinian village of Farata, close to where the funeral for the Israeli victim was held.
Rabbis for Human Rights, an Israeli NGO, says the scuffles broke out when a group of 20 settlers returning home from the funeral broke windows at the houses of several Paleostinian residents.
[Bangkok Post] Three people detained in connection with the arson attack on a passenger bus in Yala province on December 17 have confessed to carrying out the strike on the orders of two insurgents leading a group in Yala, a security source said Monday. The two insurgents are Abdulloh Tapohto and Ahama Luebaesa, both of whom remain at large in the area, the source added.
Four suspects were initially detained a few days after the attack, which resulted in no casualties or major injuries as the passengers were ordered off the bus before it was set on fire. When the bus stopped, 10-15 armed men dressed like soldiers emerged from roadside bushes and ordered everybody off the vehicle. They then doused the vehicle with gasoline and set it alight before leaving the scene.
Another 20 suspects were apprehended in a series of raids carried out late last week, the source said. The raids were carried out by police, military rangers and local administrative officials in Bannang Sata district. The raids and subsequent detentions were kept secret.
Several suspects told investigators the attack was meant to undermine public confidence in the government's economic zone which is being implemented in the southern border provinces.
[IsraelTimes] An Iranian reformist politician says some 3,700 people were incarcerated Book 'im, Mahmoud! in the days of protests and unrest that roiled Iran over the past two weeks, offering a far higher number than authorities previously released.
The protests, which vented anger at high unemployment and official corruption, were the largest seen in Iran since the disputed 2009 presidential election, and some demonstrators called for the overthrow of the government. At least 21 people have been killed in the unrest surrounding the protests.
The official news website of the Iranian parliament, icana.ir, quotes Mahmoud Sadeghi of Tehran as saying that different security and intelligence forces detained the protesters, making it difficult to know the exact number of detainees. He did not elaborate, nor did he say where he got the figure.
Previously, authorities have said "hundreds" were arrested in Tehran alone, not offering a total figure for arrests as the demonstrations spread into the Iranian countryside, including small towns.
Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli has said about 42,000 people at most took part in the anti-government protests. Sadeghi’s figure of arrested offered Tuesday would mean nearly nine percent of those who demonstrated were arrested.

[DAWN] The Israeli army carried out air strikes and fired rockets at targets in Syria overnight, causing damage near a military position, the Syrian army said on Tuesday.
Israel's military has carried out several attacks on the Syrian army and its ally Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah since the start of the conflict in Syria in 2011.
The Israeli air force conducted strikes on the Qutayfeh area northeast of Damascus, causing the Syrian army to retaliate and "hit one of its planes", the Syrian army said in a statement.
Syrian air defences intercepted one rocket, but several more hit "near a military position, causing material damage," it added.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor, said the air strikes targeted Syrian army and Hezbollah weapon depots. The strikes sparked "successive kabooms and fires, causing material damage" in the depots, where land-to-land missiles have been stored among other weapons, the Observatory said.
