[FoxNews] Virginia sheriff blasted the 'casual treatment' of migrant criminals
An MS-13 gang member who entered the U.S. illegally has been arrested by Virginia authorities for allegedly committing a double homicide.
The Loudon County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of suspect Marlyn Medrano-Ortiz, 18, on Friday. The teenager, who was arrested in Alexandria earlier last week, was charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony. Authorities say that Medrano-Ortiz killed Mijal Conejero-Romera and Diego Alexander Woollett in Sterling, Virginia, on Aug. 28. Both victims were 22 years old.
"They found two people suffering from gunshot wounds, and both individuals were transported to a local hospital where they were pronounced deceased," investigators said at the time.
In a recent press release, Loudon County Sheriff Mike Chapman said that the pair were "were shot and killed following an apparent altercation," at around 4:33 a.m on Aug. 28.
One of Conejero-Romera's close friends told WUSA that the two victims were dating.
"They seemed so happy," Tinayia Henderson said to the local outlet. "Her family told me he treated her like a princess."
In Friday's statement, Chapman said that the investigation took a massive amount of manpower.
"This investigation included numerous patrol units who canvassed over 320 residential units and 30 businesses, along with more than a dozen detectives and members of our Dive, K-9, Drone, and Search and Rescue Units," the official said.
"It also included the use of 39 search warrants and the work of our Crime Analysts, and Digital Forensic Examiners who reviewed over 950 hours of video, multiple cell phones and laptops, along with tower dumps, license plate readers, and other analysis."
Chapman also denounced MS-13 and blasted the "casual treatment" of criminals who are in the country illegally.
"I am on record strongly opposing the presence of MS-13 and other violent gangs in our nation and local communities," the sheriff said. "MS-13 is an El Salvador-based gang that uses intimidation, crime, and violence as tools of the trade, and there should be no safe place for them here."
"I am also on record opposing the casual treatment of persons in this country illegally who commit crimes against U.S. citizens and others."
"Today’s arrest is not an isolated matter," Chapman added. "MS-13 operates throughout the northern Virginia region, and just this summer Loudoun experienced one of the most horrific crimes in memory."
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] An American drone targeted at dawn on Monday a civilian car in the Ghayl bin Yamin district in Hadhramaut province in eastern 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... , which led to destroying the car and charring the bodies of those on board.
The incident occurred after a meeting of the leaders of the Hadhramaut Tribal Confederacy in the area.
The drone was reported to have been following the car, which was carrying an element of the al-Qaeda organization, according to local sources.
Activists from Hadhramaut considered the Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... a clear threat to limit the legitimate demands of the Hadhramaut Tribal Confederacy, which had been announced in July and the American embassy expressed dissatisfaction with.
The strike occurred before the arrival of Hadhramaut Governor, Mabkhout bin Madi, loyal to the Saudi-led coalition, arrived to hold a meeting with the coalition leadership
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The 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... i Armed Forces have carried out three military operations targeting three Israel-linked ships in the Arabian Sea and Red Sea, in support of the oppressed peoples in Paleostine and Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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... and in support of the resistance in the two countries.
The armed forces front man, Brigadier General Yahya Sare'e, confirmed in a televised statement on Monday evening that the three military operations were part of the continuation of imposing a naval blockade on the Israeli enemy.
He explained that the first operation targeted the ship ''SC MONTREAL'' southern Arabian Sea with two drones and the hit was accurate.
''The second operation targeted the ship (MAERSK KOWLOON) in the Arabian Sea. The operation was carried out with a cruise missile, achieving a direct hit.''
Sare'e added that the third operation was carried out by the naval forces and the missile force, targeting the ship (MOTARO) in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab with a number of ballistic missiles, and the strikes were accurate and direct.
''The three ships were targeted because the companies they belong to violated the ban on sailing to Israeli ports,'' he elaborated.
''The Yemeni Armed Forces, while saluting the victories of the Islamic Resistance® in Lebanon, confirm their continuation in imposing a naval blockade on the Israeli enemy and targeting all ships linked to it, as well as targeting the Israeli enemy with missiles and drones,'' the statement read.
The statement stressed that ''the operations will continue until the aggression is stopped, the blockade on the 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 a rusty 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... Strip is lifted, and the aggression on Lebanon is stopped.''
The Times of Israel adds:
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea says in a televised address that the vessels were targeted for attempting to approach ports bound for Israel.
According to the latest data from LSEG, all three targeted vessels were Liberia-registered.
One of the vessels, identified by the Houthis as Motaro, was last seen off Yemen’s western coast in the Red Sea, en route from Egypt’s Suez Canal to Shanghai, according to LSEG data.
Another vessel, the SC Montreal, was reportedly targeted in the Arabian Sea while travelling from Seychelles’ Port Victoria to Salalah, Oman.
The third vessel, the Maersk Kowloon, was tracked by LSEG in the western Indian Ocean, also en route from Salalah.
In other words, once again the Houthis demonstrate a complete lack of geographic understanding.
Earlier today, British maritime security firm Ambrey reported two explosions near a merchant vessel travelling 14 nautical miles southwest of Yemen’s Al Dhubab.
Ambrey’s report followed initial statements from the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency, which received information about three explosions related to an incident 25 nautical miles south of Yemen’s port of Mokha, but confirmed that the ship and crew were safe and had continued to their next port of call.
It sounds like the Houthis once again swung and missed.

When it came to hitting the USS Liberty, Israel struck true and did not miss.
Time to use the censorship weapon again.
It's only ever used against the truth.

Israel did, indeed. The USS Liberty, which for some reason was sent there to collect signals intelligence, inserted itself between two belligerents in the middle of a shooting war without identifying itself instead of standing off at a safe distance, which is just plain dumb. It is tragic that American sailors died as the result of their military and civilian commanders’ refusal to exercise due diligence, but the American side owns at least half of the responsibility.
[IsraelTimes] A judge sentences the founder of the far-right English Defence League to a year and a half in prison for contempt of court for violating an order barring him from repeating libelous allegations against a Syrian refugee.
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, admits in Woolwich Crown Court that he violated a 2021 court injunction on several occasions while giving interviews broadcast on YouTube, and in a documentary he presented during a rally in London’s Trafalgar Square in July that was also posted on his X account.
Robinson had been ordered not to repeat false allegations that a former schoolboy, Jamal Hijazi, had bullied and threatened other students. Hijazi had successfully sued him for libel and was awarded 100,000 British pounds ($130,000) in damages.
The Solicitor General finds Robinson violated the injunction on 10 occasions since 2023, including by airing a documentary, titled "Silenced," he made on the case that has been viewed more than 44 million times.
In recent months, Jewish community leaders have asked Robinson to stay away from demonstrations against antisemitism in London.

[Rudaw] The Ottoman Turkish military has struck 470 Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) targets in Iraq and Syria since the group carried out an attack on a Ottoman Turkish state-owned defense firm last week, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... ’s President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... said on Monday.
Following a cabinet meeting, the Ottoman Turkish leader said that the Kurdish gang wanted to send the Ottoman Turkish government a message through Wednesday’s attack on Ottoman Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI)
…also in our archives as TUSAS…
which killed five people and injured 22 others.
Hours after the attack, Turkey responded in time-honored fashion, by bombing border areas in the Kurdistan Region and alleged PKK positions in northeast Syria (Rojava).
Erdogan claimed that the Ottoman Turkish army "neutralized" 213 PKK fighters during their retaliatory strikes against the group’s alleged bases in the Kurdistan Region and Rojava, adding that 470 targets belonging to the group were hit. Ankara uses the phrase to denote adversaries captured, maimed, or killed.
"As the Republic of Turkey, we have discarded the messages intended to be given through this vile attack," he said.
PKK grabbed credit for the attack, saying it was carried out by "an autonomous team" which belongs to one of its offshoots, noting that it often conducts "self-sacrificing actions that are warnings and messages against the genocidal practices, massacres and isolation practices of the Ottoman Turkish state power."
The Kurdish group has accused Ankara of oppressing its significant Kurdish population. Founded in 1978, the PKK initially called for the establishment of an independent Kurdistan but now calls for autonomy. The group is designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey and Western allies.
The 40-year long conflict between PKK and the Ottoman Turkish state has claimed an estimated 40,000 lives.
The latest tensions between the arch-foes emerged amid rumors of fresh attempts aiming for a rapprochement. The lifting of isolation measures on the incarcerated Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan on the same day of the TAI attack and the shocking remarks of a Ottoman Turkish nationalist leader, who extended an olive branch to Ocalan, have given a glimpse of hope to those who have been struggling to end decades of war.
Erdogan claimed last week that the two PKK members who attacked TAI headquarters had entered the country from Syria.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are the dominant force in northeast Syria and have been supported by the US-led international coalition against the 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.... (ISIS). Ankara considers the SDF to be an offshoot of the PKK.
SDF commander Mazloum Abdi denied the "activists" entered Turkey from their areas.
"Our forces have nothing to do with these attacks and the attackers did not pass through Syrian territory," he said in a video message on Saturday.
Abdi said the Ottoman Turkish strikes had killed 15 civilians and two of their members.
Chicago — Footage has emerged of 22-year-old Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, the Muslim gunman accused of shooting a Jewish man and first responders while shouting, "Allahu akbar." He was taken to hospital for injuries from being shot by police after he allegedly opened fire on them. pic.twitter.com/XyraCs8fV8
Follow up to yesterday’s story. Yesterday we learnt that Mr. Abdallahi, a native of northwest Africa, illegally entered America from Mexico a year and a half ago, ie. April/May 2023. He goes before the judge today for deliberately shooting a harmless Jewish resident of the Jewish neighbourhood of West Rogers Park on Chicago’s North Side,followed by a shootout with police, so this is a place to corral new information about the miscreant.

[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it hit over 150 terror targets in Lebanon and Gaza over the past day.
It says dozens of gunmen were killed by security forces in both theaters of operations, and large amounts of weaponry were destroyed.
In Lebanon, the army says forces captured Hezbollah military facilities and destroyed rocket launchers and weapons caches.
In Gaza, troops killed Hamas gunmen attempting to plant bombs near troops and eliminated several other cells who were a threat to the soldiers, the IDF says.
”Here, hold my beer.”
Could be jihadis, could be criminal gangsters, could be someone who wanted a really unique gift for his wife’s birthday.
[IsraelTimes] Police say they have arrested two men for stealing a captured truck-mounted Hezbollah multiple rocket launcher from an IDF base in northern Israel.
The thieves were stopped near Golani Junction, with the rocket launcher on the back of a tow truck.
Police say they will appear in a Tiberias court tomorrow.
The multiple rocket launcher was captured by IDF troops operating in southern Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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?

The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... and brought back to Israel.
100,000 residents trapped in Israel's north Gaza assault
[GEO.TV] Israeli tanks thrust deeper on Monday into two north Gaza towns and a historic refugee camp, trapping around 100,000 civilians, the Palestinian emergency service said, in what the military said were operations to root out regrouping Hamas militants.
The Gaza Strip's health ministry said at least 19 people were killed by Israeli airstrikes and bombardment on Monday, 13 of them in the north of the shattered coastal territory.
Israeli troops have withdrawn from the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern 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 a rusty 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... Strip, the Israel Defense Forces said on Monday, having wrapped up a raid launched Friday against Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... operatives it said were using the Jabalia hospital as a command and control base. The hospital raid did not bring the IDF’s activities in northern Gaza to a close, however, with the military saying that according to its assessments, hundreds more Hamas operatives remain in the Jabalia area. Thus, it said, the operation launched there three weeks ago would continue.
In the weeks before the hospital raid, the military said it enabled the evacuation of patients and staff from the compound while ensuring that the medical center’s emergency systems continued to function, including by activating an additional generator for patients on life support. Hundreds of civilians using the hospital as a shelter were also evacuated from the area, the IDF said.
Kamal Adwan is the last functioning hospital in Gaza’s north. The facility said that the shortages it has struggled with since the start of the war last year have been increasingly aggravated by the latest Israeli offensive in the north of the Strip.
The IDF said that some 40 terror operatives were detained during the evacuations from the hospital, and the Navy’s elite Shayetet 13 commando unit detained dozens more during the subsequent raid, including some who had participated in the October 7 terror onslaught in southern Israel. The detained operatives were taken to Israel for further questioning.
The IDF released footage from the interrogation of a detained individual, who identified himself as a driver and paramedic for Kamal Adwan Hospital and al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City. He alleged in the footage that Hamas was using ambulances at the hospital to move operatives around.
"Hamas military operatives are present. They are in the courtyards, at the gates of the buildings, in the offices," he said when asked about the terror group’s operations around Kamal Adwan Hospital.
"They operate ambulances to transport their maimed military operatives and to transport them for their missions," he went on. "This is instead of using the ambulances for the benefit of civilians."
"We, the public in the northern Gaza Strip, are sick of this situation," he said when asked if he had anything more to add. "We have had enough; they [Hamas] are stationed in the hospitals, stationed in the schools."
The military said that troops operating inside the hospital and in the surrounding area located weapons, cash and documents belonging to Hamas. Some 20 button men were killed during fighting in the area surrounding the hospital, the IDF said.
Footage circulated by the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry claimed to show damage to several buildings after Israeli forces withdrew. The footage could not be independently verified.
Throughout its wider, ongoing operation in Jabalia and the surrounding area, the IDF said it has detained and killed hundreds of terror operatives. At the same time, it said that some 50,000 Paleostinians have been evacuated from the area.
The raid on Jabalia began with the 162nd Division’s 401st and 460th armored brigades encircling the area’s refugee camp (historically named, with no relation to the current war), following intelligence that Hamas’s remaining forces in the northern Gaza Strip were largely concentrated there and working to regroup. The IDF’s Givati Brigade later joined in the operation, and on Sunday, the 460th Brigade withdrew from the area. The operation, however, is still ongoing.
After encircling the camp, the army worked to clear civilians out and detain members of Hamas and other terror groups hiding among them. The goal was to prevent Hamas operatives from fleeing the area, and to force them to surrender or fight, IDF sources said. Within 24 hours of the operation’s launch, the civilian population began to slowly evacuate, the sources said.
Hamas was surprised by the military’s quick push into the area, the IDF sources said, and hundreds of its members — including top commanders — were trapped.
Still, the evacuation of the civilian population took longer than the army initially expected, the sources said, as Hamas was allegedly holding them back. According to the sources, Hamas was physically preventing civilians from leaving shelters, including by shooting at the legs of some trying to flee. Eventually, troops reached the shelters and called upon those inside to come out, which the sources said "broke the fear barrier" that the Paleostinian civilians had.
Over 50,000 Paleostinians passed through the army’s checkpoints, with those suspected of being terror operatives — mainly fighting-age males — being detained for questioning. In all, the IDF said that some 600 Paleostinians it identified as terror operatives were arrested at its checkpoints during the evacuation of the civilian population from Jabalia.
Some claimed that IDF soldiers have targeted those trying to flee — a charge that the army denies.
The evacuated civilians have headed south, mostly to Gaza City — not south of the Netzarim Corridor where the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone is located.
Several hundred thousand civilians who are either unable or unwilling to evacuate are still believed to be in northern Gaza, despite repeated calls for them to relocate to designated safe zones elsewhere in the Strip.
Ten Israeli soldiers, including the commander of the 401st Brigade, have been killed during the operation.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 43,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed some 17,000 combatants in battle as of August and another 1,000 gunnies inside Israel on October 7.
Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.

[IsraelTimes] Judiciary announces killing of California resident abducted from Dubai whose family dispute charges against him, and whose trial Amnesty called ‘grossly unfair’
Iranian-German prisoner Jamshid Sharmahd, who was kidnapped in Dubai in 2020 by Iranian security forces, has been executed in Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today 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. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... after being convicted on terror charges disputed by his family, the country’s judiciary reported Monday.
The judiciary’s Mizan news agency reported that his execution took place Monday morning.
Iran accused Sharmahd, who lived in Glendora, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, of planning a 2008 attack on a mosque that killed 14 people and maimed over 200 others, as well as plotting other assaults through the little-known Kingdom Assembly of Iran and its Tondar turban wing.
Iran also accused Sharmahd of "disclosing classified information" on missile sites of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard during a television program in 2017.
"Without a doubt, the divine promise regarding the supporters of terrorism will be fulfilled, and this is a definite promise," the judiciary said in announcing his execution.
His family disputed the allegations and worked for years to see him freed. They could not be immediately reached for comment. The German government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Amnesty International said the proceedings against Sharmahd were a "grossly unfair trial" because he was denied access to an independent lawyer and "the right to defend himself."
"The government-appointed lawyer said that, without payment of $250,000 from the family, he would not defend Jamshid Sharmahd in court and would only ’sit there,'" Amnesty said, in one report on his case.
However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat... the organization noted that Sharmahd ran a website for the Kingdom Assembly of Iran and its Tondar turban wing that included "claims of responsibility for explosions inside Iran," even as he repeatedly denied being involved in the attacks.
Sharmahd had been in Dubai in 2020, trying to travel to India for a business deal involving his software company. He was hoping to get a connecting flight, despite the ongoing coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic disrupting global travel at the time.
Sharmahd’s family received the last message from him on July 28, 2020. It is unclear how the abduction happened, but tracking data showed that Sharmahd’s mobile phone traveled south from Dubai to the city of Al Ain on July 29, crossing the border into Oman. On July 30, tracking data showed that the mobile phone traveled to the Omani port city of Sohar, where the signal stopped.
Two days later, Iran announced it had captured Sharmahd in a "complex operation." The Intelligence Ministry published a photograph of him blindfolded.

[Regnum] A Boeing P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft of the so-called international coalition led by the United States of America came dangerously close to a Su-35 fighter jet of the Russian Aerospace Forces over the Mediterranean Sea. This was reported on Monday, October 28, by Captain First Rank Oleg Ignasyuk, Deputy Head of the Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides (CRPS) in Syria.
“A dangerous approach occurred over the waters of the eastern Mediterranean Sea between a Boeing P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft of the coalition and a Su-35 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which was carrying out a scheduled flight,” he said during a briefing.
Ignasyuk noted that the collision was avoided thanks to the timely actions taken by the Russian pilot, who demonstrated high professionalism.
According to the deputy head of the Center for Strategic and Intervention Studies, the “coalition” aviation continues to fly in violation of deconfliction protocols and create dangerous conditions for aviation accidents in the skies over the Syrian Arab Republic.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 17, the Center for Strategic and Interactive Communications reported a dangerous approach of the MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle of the "coalition" to the Su-35 of the Russian Aerospace Forces in the skies over the southern part of the Syrian province of Homs. The Russian fighter was making a planned flight along the southern border of the Arab Republic. The collision was avoided thanks to the actions of the Russian pilot, who took the necessary measures in a timely manner. On September 26, another incident was reported involving the MQ-9 Reaper, which came dangerously close to the Russian Su-24 fighter in the province of Idlib.

Tell me, how did the two engine small airliner type plane sneak up on the big bad SU-35? Did it not SEE it coming? And how freaking slow was the SU-35 going that a P-8 could catch it? Inquiring minds want to know....
And there is nothing that Lebanon and Hezbollah can do but endure the humiliating death and destruction. Enjoy!
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Israeli occupation forces continued their bloody war on Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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... for the 36th consecutive day on Monday, launching more Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s, artillery shelling, and ground incursions into several border villages.
The Lebanese National News Agency reported that three citizens were martyred and two others injured due to the targeting of a house in the Raml neighborhood of Tyre, southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health stated that 2,672 deaders have been reported, with 12,468 Lebanese citizens injured since the start of the Israeli aggression on the country on October 8, 2023.
The Ministry of Health also noted that Israeli occupation forces have killed 168 paramedics and injured 275 since the onset of the aggression.
It pointed out that the Israeli air strike on a health emergency center in the town of Ain Ba'al killed seven citizens, including paramedics and a nurse, with 24 others injured in an updated count.
Fourteen citizens were martyred and 39 others injured in two Israeli airstrikes on the towns of Harat Sidon and al-Burj al-Shamali on Sunday. Five deaders fell due to an Israeli strike on the village of al-Burj al-Shamali.
On Monday morning, the occupation warplanes launched airstrikes on the vicinity of the town of Zibqin, the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon, and the town of Shamsar in the Bekaa region in eastern Lebanon. The Lebanese National News Agency reported that three citizens were martyred and two others injured due to the targeting of a house in the Raml neighborhood of Tyre.
Lebanese media noted that enemy warplanes bombed a residential building in the city of Tyre early Monday. It was mentioned that a series of Israeli airstrikes targeted the Ali al-Tahir heights in Nabatiyeh and the area between Nabatiyeh and Kfar Tebnit in southern Lebanon.
Lebanese sources reported that Israeli aircraft carried out a strike on the town of Babliyeh in the Saida district of southern Lebanon. Last night, Israeli warplanes targeted the vicinity of the town of al-Qatrani with at least two strikes, as well as another strike on the town of al-Housh.
Lebanese media reported that the occupation warplanes carried out a fierce airstrike targeting the city of Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon and struck the town of Kfar Hammam, while they bombed the city of al-Khayyam three times. The Israeli warplanes bombed the town of al-Bazourieh, the outskirts of Babliyeh in Nabatiyeh, and the vicinity of the town of Haboush in southern Lebanon.
Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s hit the southern Lebanese city of Tyre on Monday after the IDF called for residents in large swaths of the ancient coastal city to evacuate, while Hezbollah rockets continued to rain down across northern Israel.
The IDF said following the strikes that the Hezbollah targets in Tyre included weapons depots, buildings used by the terror group, and observation posts belonging to various of its units.
"The Hezbollah terror organization advanced terror activities against Israeli citizens and IDF troops from these compounds," the military said. It said Tyre is a major Hezbollah stronghold, especially for the terror group’s Aziz regional unit, from which it plans attacks on Israel.
The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported "a series of strikes" on the coastal city, beginning with a raid on a residential apartment. An AFP video journalist reported thick clouds of smoke covering parts of Tyre, including rising from a building along the seafront.
The IDF had earlier told residents in parts of central Tyre to leave immediately, warning it would attack Hezbollah targets there. In a warning published on social media, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man Col. Avichay Adraee warned residents that "Hezbollah’s activity forces the IDF to act in the area you are in," and stressed that "the IDF does not want to harm you."
He published a map of the targeted areas, and instructed residents within the relevant areas to "immediately move away from the area marked in red, and head north to the Awali River."
"Anyone who is near Hezbollah personnel, facilities and weapons of Hezbollah is putting their life in danger," Adraee added.
The union of Tyre municipalities received a phone call in Arabic, apparently from the Israeli military, urging residents to evacuate several streets in the area, a municipal source told AFP. The NNA said the union instructed the civil defense and emergency personnel to use loudspeakers to urge residents to leave, "which created a state of panic."
The strikes on Monday afternoon followed an air raid in the early hours of Monday morning in the center of the city that the Lebanese health ministry said killed seven people and maimed 17 others. The toll did not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
Meanwhile,
...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had been cornered by the banditti... rockets and drones continued to target swaths of northern Israel throughout Monday with around 115 missiles fired as of mid-afternoon, after 90 rockets were launched on Sunday, according to the IDF. No injuries were reported Monday.
On Monday afternoon, five rockets were fired toward Haifa, setting off sirens across the city and several of its suburbs. The IDF said some of the rockets were intercepted while others struck open areas.
Earlier in the day, a barrage of some 30 rockets was fired from Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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... at the Western Galilee, the IDF said. Some of the rockets were intercepted, while several impacts were also identified, the military said.
Drone sirens were also set off in the early morning in the areas of Rosh Hanikra and Shlomi. The IDF said it had successfully shot down a drone launched from Lebanon, and no injuries were reported.

There were no further details immediately available.
Hezbollah claimed on Monday that its button men had "ambushed... the Israeli enemy’s vehicles and soldiers as they advanced toward" the outskirts of the border village of Kfar Kila ahead of deadly festivities. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army.
The IDF said early Monday morning that its troops had continued to strike infrastructure and confiscate weapons belonging to Hezbollah in south Lebanon. The military said dozens of airstrikes hit terror cells and infrastructure, including a launcher used to fire rockets at Israel, and that dozens of Hezbollah operatives were killed in fighting over the past 24 hours.
Lebanon’s government claims that at least 1.2 million people have been displaced by Israel’s strikes and more than 2,600 have been killed over the last year — the vast majority in the last month. An AFP tally based on official figures puts the number at 1,634, but acknowledges gaps in the data. The IDF estimates that more than 2,000 Hezbollah operatives have been killed in the conflict.
Some 60,000 Israelis were evacuated from northern towns near the Lebanon border shortly after Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... ’s October 7 onslaught, amid fears Hezbollah would carry out a similar attack, and increasing rocket fire by the terror group.
The attacks on northern Israel since October 2023 have resulted in the deaths of 31 civilians. In addition, 60 IDF soldiers and reservists have been killed in cross-border skirmishes, including 34 of those killed during the ground operation launched in southern Lebanon in late September.
The health ministry says the tolls cover 12 areas in the Bekaa Valley where terrorist group Hezbollah holds sway. At least two children are among the dead, it says.
At least 58 others were wounded, the health ministry adds, noting that the toll is preliminary as rescue efforts are still underway.
Of the 60 killed, at least 16 deaths were recorded in Al-Alaq, west of Baalbek city, according to the health ministry.
