[KhaamaPress] Iranian border guards have killed eleven Afghan nationals in the Sistan and 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... province of Iran, according to local sources.
According to Iran ...They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... International, Iranian border forces on Friday handed over the dead bodies of eleven Afghan citizens to the Taliban ...Arabic for students... officials at the Nimroz border crossing.
Four days ago, eleven Afghan citizens were rubbed out by Iranian security forces in Sistan and Balochistan province who were trying to enter Iran illegally.
The dead Afghan nationals are below the age of twenty according to sources, including two who are believed to be 18 years old. Iranian officials and Taliban authorities have not yet commented regarding the killings.
Taliban authorities in Nimroz province said that over the past eleven months, more than 470 dead bodies of Afghan refugees have been transferred to the country through this province. Taliban authorities state that these individuals have died in incidents including traffic incidents.
Last week a video went viral, in which some Afghan refugees were saying that Iranian forces fired on their vehicle in Balochistan, which resulted in the injury of one of them.
Following the return of the Taliban to power, and the growth of poverty and unemployment, a considerable number of Afghan citizens fearing death threats and persecution by the Taliban have migrated to the neighboring countries including Iran and Pakistain.
Since a large majority of these migrants colonists have entered neighboring countries through illegal channels, now face serious challenges. Although Iran and Pakistain have accommodated millions of Afghans for decades, now have taken serious measures to deal with undocumented Afghan nationals.
Iran, in particular forcefully deports Afghan refugees who fail to provide legal stay permits or visas on a weekly basis. Additionally, Iran and Pakistain are accused of violating fundamental rights by mistreating Afghan refugees on several occasions.

AFGHAN REFUGEES REPORTEDLY KILLED BY IRANIAN BORDER SECURITY FORCES IN BALUCHISTAN – Several reports indicate that as many as 11 Afghan citizens were killed five days ago in Sistan and Baluchistan Provinces. They were reputedly killed by Iranian Border Guards. Most of those killed were thought to be below the age of 20 and most accounts say they were all males. The bodies were passed to Taliban border forces at the Nimroz crossing. The Iranians claimed the men were killed when they attempted to cross the border illegally. It is not clear how many were killed in either Province. No further information was available.
NOWRUZ MAY BE CANCELED AGAIN – Reports from Balkh Province say that Taliban leaders have forbidden the Jahenda Bala Ceremony scheduled at the Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif for 21 March.
PAKISTAN HIGH COURT GRANTS 1 DAY REPRIEVE TO FORMER PM KHAN, ARREST SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY – The Lahore High Court told Police to suspend the arrest operation until Friday after a plea by the former PM’s legal team had asked for the delay. While an order was also issued for Police and other National Security Forces personnel to withdraw from the Zaman Park neighborhood, many either ignored the order or had not received the edict. The area was mostly peaceful on Thursday but the PTI supporters remain in force and many are walking the streets carrying clubs. Rumors that many of the supporters had brought rifles and pistols to the defensive line continue to circulate. The supporters have brought in multiple shipping containers to restrict access to the former PM’s home. For his part, the former PM has signaled he would surrender to the court in Islamabad on 18 March. As the High Court in Lahore issued the warrant for his arrest, it is unlikely he will be allowed to make such a political move.
US GENERAL WARNS THAT ISIS IN AFGHANISTAN GROWING STRONGER, COULD FEASIBLY STRIKE THE US OR OTHERS IN 6 MONTHS – General Kurilla, Commander of US Central Command, informed US Senators that ISIS-K has rapidly gathered strength in Afghanistan and could strike the US or US citizens living abroad within the next six months. He admitted that US intelligence operations had been seriously degraded since the US pulled out and made a call for more resources to conduct intelligence-gathering activities by other means. He expressed his opinion that any forthcoming strikes would likely fall on US citizens and/or facilities overseas.
CONFLICT TRACKER Jawzjan: NRF sources say an attack on Taliban personnel in the Faiz Abad district resulted in the deaths of 2 Taliban fighters. Weapons and communications equipment were reportedly captured.
NEXT 24 HOURS
POSSIBLE RESUMPTION OF CLASHES BETWEEN POLICE AND PTI PARTY FAITHFUL AS ARREST OF FORMER PM EXPECTED – The tense standoff in Lahore continues to raise the specter of violence and Police are expected to make another attempt to arrest the former PM. Based on the number of PTI supporters who have remained in and around Zaman Park, it seems likely that any attempt will turn violent. We assess that any violence will be restricted to Lahore, but could spread to other cities as PTI seeks to make a statement. At-risk Afghans in Lahore are urged to avoid the Zaman Park area and the surrounding neighborhoods. A source has indicated that some PTI supporters were discussing burning down the buildings where the High Court sits in response to any Police operation and at-risk Afghans are encouraged to avoid any judicial facilities.
[An Nahar] 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... has agreed to stop sending weapons to the 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 in 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... as part of a China-brokered deal with 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... , U.S. and Saudi officials said.
The Wall Street Journal, an American daily, quoted Thursday U.S. and Saudi officials as saying that if Tehran does stop arming the Houthis, it could put pressure on the krazed killer group to reach a deal to end the conflict.
The Iran-Saudi relationship has been historically fraught and shadowed by a sectarian divide and fierce competition in the region. Diplomatic relations were severed in 2016 after Saudi Arabia executed prominent Shiite holy man Nimr al-Nimr. Protesters in Tehran stormed the Saudi Embassy and Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini... , vowed "divine Dire Revenge" for al-Nimr’s execution.
Iran-allied Houthis seized Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, in 2014 and forced the internationally recognized government into exile in Saudi Arabia. A Saudi-led coalition armed with U.S. weaponry and intelligence entered the war on the side of Yemen’s exiled government in 2015.
Years of inconclusive fighting created a humanitarian disaster and pushed the Arab world’s poorest nation to the brink of famine. Overall, the war has killed more than 150,000 people, including over 14,500 civilians, according to The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project.
A six-month cease-fire, the longest of the Yemen conflict, expired in October, but finding a permanent peace is among the administration's highest priorities in the Middle East. U.S. special envoy to Yemen Tim Lenderking is visiting Saudi Arabia and Oman this week to try to build on the U.N.-mediated truce that has brought a measure of calm to Yemen in recent months, according to the State Department.
Beijing swooped in on the Iran-Saudi talks at a moment when the fruit was already "ripening on the vine," according to one of six senior administration officials who spoke to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private White House deliberations. The Iran-Saudi announcement coincided with Chinese leader Xi Jinping being awarded a third five-year term as the nation’s president.
The official added that if China can play a "reinforcing role" in ending hostilities in Yemen the administration would view that as a good thing. But both the White House and Saudi officials remain deeply skeptical of Iran's intentions in the Yemen war or more broadly acting as a stabilizing force in the region.
To date, China, which has a seat on the U.N. Security Council, has shown little interest in the Yemen conflict, Syria, or the Israeli-Paleostinian situation, according to administration officials. Yet, Xi this week called for China to play a bigger role in managing global affairs after Beijing scored a diplomatic coup with the Iran-Saudi agreement.

[NYPOST] Another 2,000 suspected gang members were shipped to El Salvador’s revered mega-prison, the country’s president announced Wednesday as he unveiled more footage of the "impossible to escape" facility.
The new arrivals joined another 2,000 accused gangsters who landed in the new Center for the Confinement of Terrorism last month as El Salvador looks to win its battle against raging street gangs.
President Nayib Bukele blasted out new footage of the prison and its new prisoners being hustled off buses and into the facility as they’re surrounded by heavily armed guards.
Inside the prison, the tattooed men, in white shorts, barefoot and handcuffed, are seen huddled together as they crouch down and hang their shaved heads before running into jail cells.

Ah'm anticipating some time for networking and coordination in building a control hierarchy, then an explosive assault from outside agencies to free the mass of 60k murder/rapist/sadists for a common cause.
[JP] Two commanders of local branches of the Islamic Jihad and Hamas terrorist groups were killed in clashes with Israeli forces in Jenin on Thursday.
The two killed were identified as Nidal Hazem, a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement's al-Quds Brigades and the commander of the Baha Force unit, and Youssef Shreim, a member of Hamas's al-Qassam Brigades.
A third individual identified as Omar Awadin and a fourth individual were killed amid the clashes as well and 20 others were wounded.
The IDF, Shin Bet and Border Police announced after the raid that they had assassinated Hazem and an additional member of the Islamic Jihad movement named Youssef Abu Ashrin. Abu Ashrin has not been reported as one of those killed in Palestinian reports and it is unclear if Youssef Shreim is the same individual.
According to the IDF, Hazem was involved in "significant terrorist activity" and Abu Ashrin was involved in producing explosives and firing at IDF soldiers, among other terrorist activities.
[IsraelTimes] Terror group’s operatives said to aim beams across border fence at town of Metulla; after UN fails to intervene, army drops smelly riot-control packages on perpetrators
Operatives from Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years. It produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. That's three statements. Only the first is subjective.... ’s Hezbollah terror group have been harassing people in Israel by dazzling them with laser beams aimed over the border, prompting the military to counter with another assault on the senses.
For a while Hezbollah activist muppets were aiming lasers at the Israeli border town of Metulla, targeting drivers and people walking outside, and even shining the beams into people’s homes, Channel 12 reported Wednesday.
There have been numerous complaints about the problem. In addition, residents have complained of loud explosions and the pouring of sewerage near the border, the report said. The local council took the matter up with the army and it was raised with the UN monitoring units that patrol the area, but no action was taken.
Eventually, the IDF decided to deal with the issue on its own and began dropping stink bombs on the laser operators, apparently bringing their antics to an end.
In a video broadcast by the network, two people could be seen next to a car apparently aiming a laser from Lebanon into Israel. Moments later, an object drops from the sky to land near them, splashing as it hits the ground. The two people immediately enter the vehicle and drive away.
The bombs contain the same material used in the "skunk spray" deployed by Israel Police, a foul-smelling chemical compound initially developed for use against Paleostinian rioters. Police use a water cannon to hose down rioters with the spray. It has also been deployed against Israeli rioters.
It looks like the US State Department and the Progressive billionaire are getting their money’s worth from thr millions of dollars they’ve invested in the protests thus far.

Protests began early Thursday, with hundreds of thousands of Israelis expected to take part in a day of "escalating resistance to dictatorship" as the coalition headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forged ahead with controversial legislation to radically overhaul the judiciary and restrict the powers of the High Court of Justice. Acts of disruption and protest began before dawn, with demonstrators painting a bright red line in the street leading up to the Supreme Court in Jerusalem, saying it symbolized the link direct link between the independence of the courts and free speech.

[An Nahar] Israeli forces killed three Paleostinians in a raid in Jenin in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, the Paleostinian health ministry said.
There were "three deaders from occupation (Israeli) bullets in Jenin," a ministry statement said, while the Israeli army said that "security forces are currently operating in the Jenin refugee camp".
That was the perspective from Agence France Presse. Here’s what the Israelis reported:
[IsraelTimes] Police say Yamam officers ’neutralize’ two desperados in West Bank city, identified as senior members of Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, and Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... Four Paleostinians, at least two of whom were members of terror groups, were rubbed out Thursday by undercover Israeli forces during a daytime raid in the West Bank city of Jenin, the military and Paleostinian media reports said.
In a joint statement with the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet security agency, police said members of the elite Yamam counterterrorism unit entered Jenin and "neutralized" two wanted Paleostinian button men, after receiving intelligence about their whereabouts.
The Paleostinian Authority health ministry said four people were killed and at least 23 others were hurt in the raid, five of them seriously.
Paleostinian media outlets identified the slain men as Yusuf Shreim, 29, a member of the military wing of the Hamas terror group, and Nidal Khazem, 28, a member of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad.
They were both later claimed as senior members by their respective terror groups.
According to the Shin Bet, Khazem was involved in advancing "significant terrorist activity," and Shreim was involved in the production of bombs and shooting at IDF forces in the West Bank.
The other two Paleostinians were named by the PA health ministry as 16-year-old Omar Awadin and 37-year-old Luay al-Zughair.
The extent of their involvement in the festivities was not immediately clear.
Police said the Yamam officers opened fire and killed a third suspect who attempted to attack forces with a crowbar, and shot at several other button men in the area.
Graphic footage taken from a building above the scene showed the undercover forces shooting one of the maimedbutton men who was lying on the ground in the head from a close range.
Another clip appeared to show undercover forces retreating to a vehicle.
At one point, dozens of Paleostinians were seen surrounding the car apparently used by the undercover forces, before gunshots ring out and the crowd disperses.
A local wing of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad said its members had clashed with the undercover forces who "carried out a cowardly liquidation of resistance fighters."
No Israeli officers or soldiers were hurt amid the raid, officials said.
Tensions between Israel and the Paleostinians have been high for the past year, with the IDF conducting near-nightly raids in the West Bank amid a series of deadly Paleostinian terror attacks. Those tensions have ramped up even further in recent weeks, featuring a cycle of deadly Israeli raids and Paleostinian Dire Revenge attacks, as well as an uptick in settler violence.
On Sunday, Israeli troops killed three members of the Nablus-based Lion’s Den terror group.
Paleostinian terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank in recent months have left 14 Israelis dead and several more seriously hurt.
At least 84 Paleostinians have been killed since the beginning of the year, most of them while carrying out attacks or during festivities with security forces, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under circumstances that are being investigated.
Over the past year, Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

[NPASyria] On Wednesday evening, gunnies targeted several military posts of the Syrian government forces north of Daraa, a governorate south Syria, prompted by the arrest of a lady in the capital Damascus.
A local source told North Press that gunnies from the city of al-Sanamayn in the northern countryside of Daraa attacked the government military posts in the city in response to the arrest of a lady from al-Sanamayn while she was in a hospital in Damascus.
The source added that fierce festivities erupted between the two parties for over an hour in which the government forces used machineguns and RPGs.
The government forces also fired illumination flares with the aim to detect the gunnies’s moves, according to the source.

[NPASyria] On Wednesday, a military group affiliated with the Ottoman Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, also known as Syrian National Army (SNA), assaulted and robbed a civilian from the Kurdish city of Afrin in northwestern Syria.
An exclusive source told North Press that "The group is affiliated with a commander from the Annan family in the countryside of Zawiya Mountain in the south of Idlib. They assaulted the man while crossing with his family at one of their checkpoints near the village of Chobana in Rajo sub-district."
"The military group confiscated the wood that the civilian was collecting, but when he protested their actions, they beat and insulted him in front of his family," the source added.
The source noted that " he was robbed, insulted, and threatened with guns if he pressed any complaints."

The Monitoring and Documentation Department of North Press recorded 26 assault cases, including three against women since the beginning of 2023.
