A passionate fascist was A----,
That hot-headed hater who rashly
Attacked us unarmed
But was mostly unharmed
By the shooter she shamed so white-trashily.

[AlAhram] Forces of 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... 's internationally recognized government have reclaimed large swaths of territory in a southern province from Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... rebels, government officials said Wednesday.
The push in the southern province of Shabwa comes amid heavy Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s by the Saudi-led coalition battling the Houthis elsewhere in Yemen, including the capital of Sanaa.
The rebels have also stepped up their cross-border attacks, using ballistic missiles and explosive-laden drones to target Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... The Houthis recently also seized an Emirati ship in the Red Sea off the contested city of Hodeida.
A Yemeni military front man, Mohammed al-Naqib, said the troops' advance in Shabwa aims to cut supply lines for the Houthis who have been attacking the key city of Marib, the last government stronghold in northern Yemen, since early last year.
Government troops, aided by allied Giants Bridges, swept through Shabwa earlier this month, retaking most of the Usailan district from the Houthis. al-Naqib said they also pushed through the nearby Bayhan district, retaking several villages.
A front man for the rebels did not answer phone calls seeking comment. A Houthi media office said the Saudi-led coalition launched dozens of airstrikes on the rebels in Usailan and Bayhan.
Fighting has also escalated since November around the city of Hodeida, in a setback to the UN-brokered cease-fire in 2018 that ended fighting over the strategic port.
The Saudi-led coalition on Tuesday called for the Houthis to release the Emirati ship Rwabee, warning that it would attack ports used by the rebels to seize the vessel, a move that would likely further undermine the cease-fire in Hodeida.
UN front man Stephane Dujarric said the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... was following ``with concern'' reports of the vessel's seizure ``in what the Houthis have described as Yemeni waters.''
The rebels, meanwhile, accused the Saudi-led coalition Wednesday of preventing a fuel vessel from entering Hodeida despite receiving UN clearances.
Essam al-Mutawakel, the front man for rebel-run Yemen Petroleum Company, said the coalition diverted Splendour Sapphire to the Saudi city of Jizan. He said the ship carries 24,189 tons of mazut, a low-quality fuel oil.
There was no immediate comment from the coalition.
[JPost] The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen received a distress signal from an oil tanker after it had been subjected to "armed harassment" off Yemen's Hodeidah port, Saudi state TV reported on Wednesday, citing the coalition.
The Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC) said earlier on Wednesday that the coalition had diverted to a Saudi port a fifth fuel vessel heading for the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeidah.
[OneIndia] Three Jaish-e-Mohammad ...literally Army of Mohammad, a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf banned the group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat... murderous Moslems, including a Pak national, were killed in an encounter with security forces in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... on Wednesday, police said, according to news agency PTI.
Security forces launched a cordon and search operation in Chandgam village of Pulwama district, which turned into an encounter, a police official said.
He said three gunnies were killed in the exchange of fire with the security forces.
Inspector General of Police, Kashmir zone, Vijay Kumar said the slain men belong to Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and included a Pak national.
"Incriminating material, and arms and ammunition, including two M-4 carbines and one AK series rifle, were recovered," he said, adding that it was a "big success for us".

[REGNUM] The Iraqi air defense forces intercepted the drone, which was near one of the military bases, Al Arabiya TV reports, citing a source among the Iraqi security forces.
An unidentified UAV was reportedly flying near the Ain al-Assad military base in Anbar province. Previously, this base was used by the so-called international coalition led by the United States. The source claims that the air defense drone was intercepted even before it approached the military base. There were no reports of possible casualties.
Earlier, the Ain al-Assad base in Iraq was fired upon with rockets. According to preliminary data, five rockets were fired at the object, for the destruction of which it was necessary to use air defense systems. All missiles fired at the base fell two kilometers from the target.

[IsraelTimes] Military court hands down one term to Muntasir Shalabi for murder of 19-year-old Yehuda Guetta, and another for the attempted murder of two others in 2021 shooting
A military court handed down two life sentences on Wednesday to Muntasir Shalabi, who killed 19-year-old Yehuda Guetta in a drive-by shooting attack at Tapuah Junction in the West Bank last year.
The Ofer Military Court gave Shalani one life sentence for the murder of Guetta, a yeshiva student in the Itamar settlement, and another for the attempted murder of Guetta’s friends who were with him at the bus stop and were maimed in the attack.
The panel of judges, led by Lt. Gen. Meirav Hershkovitz-Yitzhaki, called Shalabi’s actions "cruel and coldblooded," saying that he was motivated by a "burning hatred and a desire to murder Jews."
The judges also noted that the attack was premeditated and Shalabi had been training for it for at least a month.
The court also fined Shalabi a total of NIS 2.5 million ($809,000).
Last August, Shalabi was convicted of intentional manslaughter, several counts of attempted intentional manslaughter, and possession of a weapon and obstruction of justice.
Shalabi drove to the Tapuah Junction in the northern West Bank on May 2, 2021, and opened fire. The shooting fatally maimed Guetta, seriously injured Benaya Peretz, 19, from Beit She’an, and lightly maimed Amichai Hala from Safed, also 19.
According to court papers, prosecutors said that Shalabi had decided to carry out an attack at the junction a month earlier, but twice put it off because he didn’t feel well.
On the day of the attack, he drove to the junction with a pistol on the passenger seat, hidden beneath a prayer mat. Pulling to a stop alongside the bus stop, he shouted "Allahu akhbar!" (Arabic for "God is great") and opened fire, continuing to shoot until the pistol malfunctioned and jammed. He drove off as soldiers guarding the junction shot up him.
Though he was injured, he escaped to the West Bank town of Aqraba where he ditched the car, which was later torched by locals as soldiers arrived to seize it.
Shalabi went on the run for a number of days before officers from the Israel Police’s Special Policing Unit and IDF troops, acting on intelligence gathered by the Shin Bet, raided a building in the village of Silwad, near Ramallah, and took him into custody. The arrest came an hour after Guetta departed this vale of tears.
In response to the killing, the IDF demolished Shalabi’s family home in Turmus Ayya, despite protests over the fact that the Hamoked human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... organization said that for 11 months of the year, Shalabi did not live there, as he was estranged from his wife and only stayed in a separate room during an annual one-month visit. During the rest of the year, he would reside in the United States where he also had citizenship.
[IsraelTimes] Israeli tanks opened fire toward a number of suspects in military posts near the border with Syria on Wednesday evening, the military said.
During a military operation across the border fence in the central Golan Heights, but still within Israeli territory, troops identified a number of suspects near where the forces were operating, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
The army said the suspects were seen manning "military posts," without elaborating.
The forces fired flares and warning shots, which caused the suspects to flee the area, the IDF added.
According to Syria’s Sham FM radio station, a number of sites in the village of al-Hurriyah in the Quneitra region were struck by IDF tanks.
The station, as well as the Beirut-based al-Mayadeen TV, said Israeli helicopters and other aircraft hovered overhead during the strikes.
There were no reports of casualties in the incident, on either side.
A Syrian journalist from the area claimed the sites belonged to Iran ...The nation is 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... or Iran-backed groups. This could not be independently verified.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Unknown perpetrators attacked a group of UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch... , vandalizing their vehicles and stealing official items from them, a UN official said on Wednesday.
Such scuffles with UN peacekeepers are not uncommon in southern Lebanon since the peacekeeping force was expanded following the 2006 war between Israel and the Lebanese holy warriorHezbollah group.
The UN force, known as UNIFIL, called on Lebanese authorities to "investigate quickly and thoroughly, and prosecute all those responsible for these crimes," said Kandice Ardiel, a UNIFIL press official. She added that the attack occurred on Tuesday night.
Local media reported that residents of the southern town of Bint Jbeil scuffled with Irish peacekeepers who they said were taking photographs of residential homes.
The reports added that the UN force was not accompanied by Lebanese troops.
Bint Jbeil is a Hezbollah stronghold and large parts of its were destroyed during the 2006 war.
Ardiel said that contrary to the disinformation being spread, the peacekeepers were not taking photos and were not on private property. She added that the peacekeepers were on their way to meet members of the Lebanese army for a routine patrol.
"UNIFIL condemns attacks on men and women serving the cause of peace, which are violations of both Lebanese and international law," Ardiel said, adding that UNIFIL also condemns those who manipulate local residents to serve their purposes.
UNIFIL was originally created to oversee the withdrawal of Israeli troops after a 1978 invasion. The mission was expanded in Lebanon under a UN-brokered truce after the monthlong war between Israel and Hezbollah snuffies in 2006.
A similar incident with peacekeepers in south Lebanon late last year was condemned by Lebanon’s Foreign Ministry.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The US-led coalition fighting the terrorist group ISIS faced dual attacks, with one base in Syria and the other in Iraq coming under fire by Iran-backed groups, the coalition said on Wednesday."
Coalition forces were targeted this morning by eight rounds of indirect fire at Green Village, a Syrian Democratic Forces base with a small Coalition advisory presence, in northeast Syria," the coalition said in a statement, it added that there were no casualties but there was minor damage inside the base.
The Coalition responded by firing six rounds of artillery towards the point of origin of the attack just outside al-Mayadeen town in Syria’s Deir Ezzor province.
The second attack was in Iraq, where five rockets landed near Ain al-Asad airbase, which hosts US and other international forces in western Iraq. The attack caused no casualties or damage.
Coalition spokesperson Maj. Gen. John W. Brennan, Jr. said: "Our coalition continues to see threats against our forces in Iraq and Syria by militia groups that are backed by Iran. These attacks are a dangerous distraction from our coalition's shared mission to advise, assist, and enable partner forces to maintain the enduring defeat of [ISIS]."
This is the latest in a series of recent attacks on US bases or locations where there is American presence in both Syria and Iraq.
On Tuesday, two armed drones approached Ain al-Asad airbase and coalition forces shot them down. On Monday, the coalition also shot down two armed drones targeting its compound at Baghdad airport.
