[NEWARAB] Paramilitary forces battling Sudan's regular army for more than a year said on Saturday they had taken a key state capital in the southeast, prompting thousands to flee, witnesses said.
"We have liberated the 17th Infantry Division from Singa,” the capital of Sennar state, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced on X.
Residents confirmed to AFP: "The RSF have deployed in the streets of Singa", and witnesses reported aircraft from the regular army flying overhead and anti-aircraft fire.
Earlier Saturday, other witnesses said there was fighting in the streets and "rising panic among residents seeking to flee".
Sudan has been gripped by war since April 2023, when fighting erupted between forces loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the RSF led by his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.

Next stop, Gedaref. "Gedaref, a border city in eastern Sudan, has been affected by the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that began in April 2023. The city has become a haven for over 400,000 displaced people fleeing violence in other states, and incidents in Gedaref."
[NEWARAB] Israel's national carrier El Al said Sunday its Warsaw to Tel Aviv flight was not allowed to refuel at Antalya airport after making an emergency landing to evacuate a passenger for medical reasons.
Turkish workers at Antalya airport refused to refuel flight LY5102 before it could take off for Israel, El Al said in a statement.
"Local workers refused to refuel the company's plane even though it was a medical case," it said, adding that the passenger was evacuated.
The plane then took off to Rhodes in Greece where "it will refuel before taking off to Israel", the airline said.
[NEWARAB] An Israeli tank ran over a Paleostinian woman in front of her son 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... City on Thursday, according to a rights monitor. Tank movement ~50 km/h. Woman walking < 5 km/h. Tank driver sees where he's driving using multiple periscopes. Woman has to listen and probably turn her head to notice a tank bearing down on her. Maybe she fell off a jeep
According to Euro-Med Monitor, 65-year-old Safiya Hassan Musa al-Jamal was run over by a tank after she was injured by Israeli forces who stormed her house.
Safiya's son, Muhannad al-Jamal, witnessed the incident.
According to Muhannad, the incident started at 10 am when Israeli forces first began entering Shejaiya, with his mother, three sisters and niece being forced to the first floor to avoid shelling and gunfire.
After sunset, Israeli soldiers stormed the house, with Muhannad saying that they "started firing at the walls randomly and threw five bombs amid gunfire" that injured him and his mother.
Euro-Med Monitor also acquired testimony from his sister Areeji, who said that a female soldier provided aid to Safiya. Israeli soldiers told both Areeji and Muhannad that their mother would go to a hospital.
However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat... Safiya and Muhannad were taken on top of Israeli tanks through the neighbourhood to the Mustaha Roundabout, where Safiya was placed on the road. After telling Muhannad she'd be taken to a hospital, a tank proceeded to run her over.
"When I saw the scene, I thought I had gone insane and began to cry and scream," Muhannad said, adding that he quickly fled after an eruption of gunfire.
Euro-Med noted in its report that it had documented other incidents where Israeli tanks had run over Paleostinian civilians, including on 29 February when sixty-two-year-old Jamal Hamdi Hassan Ashour was run over in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City.

[NEWARAB] Women in Gaza are heavily bearing the brunt of Israel's ongoing war on Gaza, a new UN report published this week has revealed. Their menfolk are off bravely shooting in the general direction of Zionists.They got lotsa money for guns and ammunition, but nothing for wives and kiddies. Got it.
The report from UN Women states at least 557,000 women in Gaza are currently food insecure. Possibly that's because their armed menfolk are stealing the groceries as they arrive.
According to the report, many women, particularly mothers, often prioritise feeding others and go without food in order to do this. But the gents are fat and happy.
The report found that women in the devastated territory are regularly being forced to skip meals or reduce their intake, choosing instead to give their portion of food to their children. My heartstrings! They've been tugged!
This has further endangered their health, caused malnutrition and increased their vulnerability to gender-based violence, the report says. Ahah. Gender-based violence! Their menfolk being the other gender?
Around seven in 10 women in the Strip have reported weight loss in the past 30 days, with most of them experiencing frequent dizziness. Dehydration from the heat has nothing to do with it. "My menfolk call me a dizzy broad!" she sniffled.
More than 80 percent of respondents who spoke to UN Women said they rely on food aid as their primary source of nutrition but noted that the available aid does not fairly account for the sizes of families. Gaza wimmin be hot to trot.
Israel's siege and bombardment of the enclave has further put women at risk, with pregnant and lactating women having little to no access to adequate healthcare and nutrition. Too bad their menfolk didn't warn the wimmin to get out of Dodge before the invaded Israel.
The UN found that 76 percent of pregnant women are suffering from anaemia, and 99 percent are struggling to access nutritional supplements. [BURP!] The heart burns.

While I wish, and I am sure many others do also, that innocence civilians are not harmed.
REMEMBER
It was their own Men, Political and Religion Leaders, who are openly dedicated to the death of any Non-Islamic. These people have allowed, and still allow, Radicals and Terrorists to hide among their civilian population..
These Islamic Terrorist groups and their supporters are the primary cause for the $$$ Millions in missing, stolen, or destroyed, International food and medical supplies. Deliveries that their own, women, wives and babies need.

They have to cough up some male witnesses, cause Islam doesn't allow women to be believed. Oh? Their men were killed fighting Israel's army? Well, guess whatever they said didn't happen then. Happy Islam then ya Death Eaters.
[NEWARAB] Israel's military said on Sunday 18 of its soldiers were injured, one of them seriously, when a drone struck their position in the occupied Golan Heights, which border Lebanon.
The Israeli army said in a statement the strike happened earlier on Sunday. It said since then, it had struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon with air strikes and artillery fire.
Fighting between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah has been escalating, after it was triggered by the Gaza war.

[Regnum] Two Syrian government servicemen were wounded as a result of two attacks by terrorist groups. This was reported on June 30 by Yuri Popov, deputy head of the Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides (CROS) in Syria.
Over the past 24 hours, the Center for Military Security in the Idlib de-escalation zone recorded two cases of firing by militants of the terrorist groups Jabhat Al-Nusra (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) and the Islamic Party of Turkestan (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation).
“As a result of shelling by terrorists at government troop positions in the areas of the settlement of Kafer Nebel in Idlib province and the settlement of Basratun in Aleppo province, two Syrian servicemen were wounded,” Popov said during a briefing.
He added that control over compliance with the ceasefire regime continues in Syria. Russian military police units conducted patrols in the provinces of Aleppo, Raqqa and Hasakah.
As reported by IA Regnum, on June 1, the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria launched strikes at two concentrations of militants who had left the al-Tanf zone. The terrorists' bases were located in remote areas of the Al-Amur mountain range in the province of Homs and Al-Bishri in the province of Deir Ez-Zor.
On June 8, the Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian Armed Forces, together with the Syrian military, conducted exercises to protect the Tartus base. As part of the exercises, the crews of the Pantsir-S air defense missile system, together with the crews of the Black Sea Fleet's anti-sabotage boat Kadet and small missile boats of the Syrian Navy, destroyed the naval drones of a mock enemy that were trying to break through to the inner roadstead of the port. The actions of the military were coordinated by the command of the Russian Armed Forces and the leadership of the Syrian Arab Army at joint command posts in Syria.

[NEWARAB] Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... fighters have killed nearly 4,100 people in Syria since 2019 when the jihadists lost their last stronghold in the country, a war monitor said Saturday.
IS overran large swathes of Syria and Iraq in 2014, proclaiming a so-called caliphate and launching a reign of terror in June of that year.
In March 2019, the jihadist group lost its last scraps of Syrian territory in a Kurdish-led military campaign backed by a US-led coalition, but remnants continue to launch deadly attacks from desert hideouts.
IS fighters "have killed about 4,100 people in more than 2,550 operations in areas controlled by the regime or" the semi-autonomous Kurdish administration since 2019, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in a report.
Most of the victims are soldiers, regime loyalists and Kurdish-led fighters, but the toll also incudes 627 civilians, the Britannia-based Observatory said.
More than half of the 4,085 victims fell in Syria's vast Badia desert, which runs from the outskirts of Damascus to the Iraqi border.
A total of "2,744 people have been killed by the IS group since its formal collapse in 2019, in various areas of the Syrian desert," said the monitor, which relies on a network of sources inside the country.
IS fighters have killed more than 2,500 regime loyalists and soldiers in the Badia since their so-called caliphate fell, according to the Observatory.
"Hardly a day goes by without bombings, ambushes, targeted operations or surprise attacks" by the jihadists in the region, the report said.
"These operations are met with periodic security campaigns carried out by regime forces and groups loyal to them deep in the desert, with... Russian warplanes targeting the desert on a near-daily basis," it added.
The group has sustained heavy damage, losing more than 2,000 fighters including top leaders since 2019, the report found.
A United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... report released in January said IS's combined strength in Iraq and Syria was between 3,000 and 5,000 fighters, with the Badia serving as a logistics and operations hub for the group in Syria.

[NEWARAB] Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... 's caretaker prime minister has said that his country is in a state of war as nine months of festivities between Israel and Hezbollah heighten fears of an Israeli invasion of the country.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati made the statement during a visit to southern Lebanon on Saturday, where he said he hoped that the war will not expand, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
"We are always advocates of peace, and our choice is peace and the implementation of Resolution 1701. Israel must stop its repeated attacks on Lebanon, and stop the war in Gazoo

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... , and everyone must implement International Resolution No. 2735," he said.
UN Resolution 1701, which ended Israel's 2006 invasion of Lebanon, called for the cessation of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel and the withdrawal of Hezbollah to north of the Litani river and of Israel from Lebanon.
UN Resolution 2735 called for the implementation of a three-stage ceasefire in Gaza, the exchange of hostages and emphasises the need for a two-state solution.
"We are with our people. The resistance is doing its duty, the Lebanese government is doing its duty, and our goal is to protect the country in every sense of the word," Mikati added.
His statements come as the specter of an Israeli invasion heightens, after an increase in the intensity of festivities between Israel and Hezbollah, as well as rhetoric from the two sides. The Israeli army has said it has approved plans for an invasion of Lebanon if requested.

Israel will use 1701 to attack and occupy Lebanon south of the Litani. It must do so to protect its own settlements south of the present Israel-Lebanon border. This time it should occupy and not leave.
