If accurate reporting, does anyone sense that subsequent salvo attacks may be forthcoming, as the limits of time, distance, and quantity are tested?

[GEO.TV] The legal woes of Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) founder Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders... continue to multiply as an accountability court on Wednesday sentenced the former prime minister and his spouse Bushra Bibi to 14 years in prison with rigorous punishment in the Toshakhana reference.
Accountability court's Judge Muhammad Bashir announced the verdict, also disqualifying the former prime minister for 10 years while handing over a fine of Rs1.57 billion — Rs787 million each — to the couple.
During the previous hearing, which was also held at Adiala jail, the court recorded Bushra Bibi's statement under Section 342.
Khan told the court that his wife had nothing to do with the case and was being humiliated by being forcibly dragged into it.
At the outset of the hearing today, Judge Bashir asked Khan if he recorded his statement. To this, the former premier said that he would submit his statement once his lawyers came.
"I have been deceived as I was only called to mark my attendance for the hearing," said the PTI founder.
Following the verdict, Bushra Bibi, who was not present in court when the sentence was announced, arrived at the Adiala jail and surrendered before the authorities.
NAB had filed the reference against the duo over the graff jewellery set which included necklaces, earrings, bracelets and a ring worth Rs1.57 billion.
Khan and Bushra had only paid Rs9 million and had fixed the price of the jewellery set through a private firm.

[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Iraqi resistance group Kata’ib Hezbollah [Hezbollah Brigades] announced the suspension of all its military operations against US troops in the region, in a decision aimed at preventing "any embarrassment" to the Iraqi government, Secretary General of Kata’ib Hezbollah, Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi said in a statement.
Although it will suspend operations on US "occupation forces" in the region, Kata’ib Hezbollah said it would "continue to defend our people in 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 an 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... in other ways".
Al-Hamidawi added that Kata’ib Hezbollah would temporarily engage in "passive defense" in response to any potential US action against the group.
The decision follows the killing of three US troops in a drone attack near the Jordan-Syria border. The Pentagon said a final assessment has not been made on who was behind the operation.
US occupation forces in Iraq and Syria have come under attack more than 160 times since the start of the "Israeli" entity’s war against the besieged Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the retaliatory Operation al-Aqsa Flood carried out by Paleostinian resistance faction on October 7.
