[ToloNews] The Islamic Emirate plans to build 34 jihadi schools across the 34 provinces of the country, each with a capacity of over a thousand students.
Azizur Rahman Mansoor, Deputy Minister of Hajj and Religious Affairs, stated during the inauguration ceremony of three mosques in Jawzjan that in addition to these schools, the construction of three religious schools in every district is also planned.
Mansoor elaborated that each district will have two day schools and one boarding school as part of this initiative.
Azizur Rahman Mansoor said: "Each province will have a large jihadi school—34 schools across the 34 provinces—and in the same way, three schools in every district: two day schools and one with boarding facilities, so that our inner spirit is revitalized, and our faith is strengthened."
Meanwhile,
...back at the wrecked scow, Agent 49 felt gingerly for his head. It was still there. He had been hoping differently... local officials in Jawzjan stated that three mosques in this province have been constructed with a total budget of over 27 million Afghanis provided by the Islamic Emirate.
According to them, the mosque in Gardan village can accommodate 2,000 worshippers at a time, the mosque in Arab Khana village 200 worshippers, and the mosque in Dasht-e-Laili 150 worshippers.
"The mental and intellectual upbringing of our children and learning religious and Islamic teachings should begin from the mosque—they should learn from the mosque," said Gul Haidar Shafaq, the governor of Jawzjan.
According to officials from the Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs, another mosque in Sar-e-Pul ...a city and eponymous province in northern Afghanistan, population about 500,000. Demographically it is majority Tadjik and Uzbek. There are small Pashtun, Arab, and Hazara communities, of which the Hazaras mostly don't bother anyone... province, which accommodates 300 worshippers, has been completed at the cost of 4.192 million Afghanis and has been handed over for public use.

[Garowe] An Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... activated in Somalia targeted senior al-Shabaab ... al-Qaeda's tentacle in East Africa... leaders on Friday, multiple sources intimated, just as the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) prepared for exit from the country, to pave the way for new peacekeepers — The African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM).
In recent years, the Somali National Army (SNA) in partnership with the US Africa Command and the ATMIS contingent, has launched a series of airstrikes in al-Shabaab strongholds, leading to massive destruction of infrastructures built by the group.
Friday's airstrike was unleashed in the Haway area near Sablale town in Somalia's Lower Shabelle region, local officials reported. The strike resulted in at least 12 deaths, three of whom were commanders besides injuring several big shots.
The commanders are said to have been in a meeting at the time the military struck, officials said. The group is said to have been planning multiple attacks across the region before their plans were unearthed by the Somali National Army along with partners.
Aerial surveillance provided by the Americans and the peacekeepers is instrumental in the fight against al-Shabaab, a group seeking to topple the fragile UN-backed federal government of Somalia. The al-Shabaab lacks aerial capability and usually struggles in frontlines.
Sablale, located about 200 kilometers (124 miles) from Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, is reportedly a key command center for al-Shabaab operations in the southern region. It's unclear which country carried out the airstrike but the US military is known for such operations in Somalia.
A few weeks ago, the US military reported crashing of its drone in Somalia but ruled out al-Shabaab. The U.S. Army-operated MQ-1C crashed in southern Somalia at approximately 12:40 PM local on Nov. 5 according to the statement by the command.
The al-Shabaab group lost large swathes of rural central and southern regions following a recent operation by the Somali National Army (SNA) with the help of allies. The military is currently involved in active operations within southern and central regions.
The operation, which occurred around 10:48 p.m. local time on November 22, targeted a group of militants, including three high-ranking commanders. According to military sources, this strike was seen as a significant disruption to Al-Shabaab’s command structure.
Reports from the region indicate that the airstrike was aimed at reducing the operational capacity of Al-Shabaab, the militant Islamist group linked to al-Qaida, which has been launching attacks in Somalia for years. The use of air strikes has become a common tactic in the ongoing conflict to minimize risks to ground troops and local civilians.

[ShabelleMedia] At least 22 Somali immigrants colonists died after their boat capsized in the Indian Ocean, an official confirmed, adding that the tragedy took place off the coast of Madagascar, in what has been termed an 'awful accident'. and a 'horrible lesson'
Abdullahi Warfa, Somalia’s ambassador to Æthiopia, said that the boat was carrying 70 passengers at the time of the accident — all being Somali nationals. The bodies were found on Saturday, he added.
According to the envoy, 48 passengers were rescued by fishermen and have since been admitted to various hospitals for advanced treatment. It is not clear when the incident took place according to reports.
"An investigation is underway and we have the names of the victims and we will share them through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," he said.
The government did not elaborate on the cause of the accident. There has been a proliferation of migrant deaths within the Indian Ocean in recent months with most incidents associated with an overload of passengers.
At least 24 people died after a boat sank off the coast of the Comoros Islands, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said earlier this month.
Most of the victims are usually women, children, and infants. In September, 12 died on the coast of Anjouan in the Comoros island chain and never reached Mayotte, an island of the archipelago of Comoros. In August, 8 people died from a similar incident.
With harsh economic times in Somalia, most people migrate to other countries albeit illegally to look for greener pastures. Somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world and has often struggled to offset its debts owed to various global lenders.
The United Arab Emirates arrested three suspects in the killing of Israeli-Moldovan Rabbi Zvi Kogan, the UAE's Interior Ministry (MOI) announced Sunday.
Kogan was reported missing by his family on Thursday.
A ministry statement did not give further details on the suspects but said the ministry would use "all legal powers to respond decisively and without leniency to any actions or attempts that threaten societal stability."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office denounced Kogan's death as a "heinous antisemitic terrorist act."
"The murder of the late Zvi Kogan is a criminal antisemitic terrorist attack," the PMO said. "The State of Israel will act by all means and bring the criminals responsible for his death to justice."
Mossad and authorities in the Gulf country had opened the investigation based on information that Kogan’s disappearance may be related to "a terrorist incident."
"The Israeli mission in Abu Dhabi has been in contact with the family since the beginning of the incident and continues to support them during this difficult time," the PMO and Foreign Affairs Ministry stated. "His family in Israel has also been informed."
HOW WAS ZVI KOGAN FOUND?
Kogan’s body was found in the Emirati city of Al Ain, which borders Oman and is about an hour and a half from Dubai, though it is not clear if he was killed there or elsewhere, former Israeli Druze politician Ayoob Kara said.
Kara said he was waiting for the UAE to finish an investigation but blamed Iran for the murder.
"The one enemy [Israel has] today is the terror and Iran that supports the terror. The indication that we have now is this is the direction of the investigation," said Kara, a Likud member who works to promote economic relations between Israel and the Arab world.
Worst genocidal apartheid evah!
Information in Israel’s possession indicated that Kogan may have been under Iranian surveillance, reports said. Iran’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
Kara said Kogan’s body would be sent to Israel for burial after the UAE finished investigating.
Kogan, 28, who worked in the UAE for the Orthodox Jewish group Chabad, which seeks to support Jewish life for thousands of Jewish visitors and residents in the Gulf Arab state, vanished in Dubai, where he ran a kosher grocery store, on Thursday.
The Ynet news site reported that Kogan’s car was found abandoned in Al Ain. It added, without citing sources, that there were signs of a struggle in the vehicle. Officials suspect a number of Uzbek citizens recruited by 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... assaulted the rabbi and later fled to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... , the report said.
Tehran said it "categorically rejects the allegations of Iran’s involvement in the murder of this individual," Iran’s embassy in Abu Dhabi said in a statement to Rooters on Sunday.
IN ABU DHABI SINCE 2020
Kogan was a dual Israeli-Moldovan citizen, who reportedly served in the Israel Defense Forces’ Givati Brigade.
He had been part of the Abu Dhabi Chabad chapter since Israel normalized ties with the UAE in late 2020 under the US-brokered Abraham Accords.
According to Chabad, Kogan worked to expand Jewish life in the UAE alongside Chief Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Duchman, including ensuring the wide availability of kosher food and opening the first Jewish education center in the country.
The Rimon Market, a Kosher grocery store that Kogan managed on Dubai’s busy Al Wasl Road, was shut Sunday. As the wars have roiled the region, the store has been the target of online protests by pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel protesters. Mezuzahs on the front and back doors of the market appeared to have been ripped off.
Kogan’s wife Rivky joined him at the posting after their wedding in 2022. She is the niece of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, who was murdered along with his wife in a terror attack at the Nariman Chabad House in Mumbai in 2008.
According to Ynet, Kogan participated in the first-ever Holocaust remembrance day ceremony in the Gulf state in 2021, and led the Yizkor prayer during the event.
TRAVEL WARNING
Israeli authorities reissued their recommendation against all non-essential travel to the UAE and said visitors now there should minimize movement, remain in secure areas, and avoid visiting places associated with Israel and Jewish populations.
Israelis have flocked to Dubai for commerce and tourism since the Emirates and Israel forged diplomatic ties under a 2020 US-brokered agreement, dubbed the Abraham Accords.
The UAE has a burgeoning Jewish community, with synagogues and businesses catering to kosher diners.
It has maintained the relationship forged through the Abraham Accords during the 13-month Israel-Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... war 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 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... However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... the public presence of Israelis and Jews in the UAE has appeared to recede since the devastating Hamas cross-border attack on Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and triggered the ongoing Gaza conflict, which has sparked protests worldwide.
Jewish community members in the UAE told Rooters that informal synagogues in Dubai were closed after the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel over security concerns, with Jews instead gathering to pray at home.
The one government-approved synagogue in the UAE remains open in Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital. There are no official synagogues in Dubai, the UAE’s biggest city and commercial hub.
There are no official statistics on the number of Jews or Israelis living in the country, but estimates from Jewish groups suggest the community numbers in the several thousand.

[IsraelTimes] Canadian far-right political pundit Ezra Levant has been arrested at a pro-Hamas rally in Toronto, after he refused police instructions to move away from the demonstration, claiming he was being discriminated against for being Jewish.
In a video of the arrest posted to social media by Levant’s Rebel News platform, officers can be heard telling the conservative activist that his presence at the pro-Palestinian rally was “inciting the crowd.”
“It’s because I’m a Jew,” Levant insists during an argument with the officer over his order to move away from the demonstration.
“I’m refusing to leave because I’m a Jew, and I’m a citizen, and I’m your boss. And I don’t leave because you say Jews aren’t allowed on this side of the street.”
The officer then tells him he is under “arrest for breaching the peace,” at which point the protesters erupt in cheers and calls of “Zionist” and “loser.”
Photos from the Toronto demonstration posted to social media show an activist dressed as slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the terror group’s brutal October 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel, posing in a stuffed armchair to recreate the final moments before he was killed by Israel in Gaza last month.
Another protester holds a sign reading, “Free flights to Amsterdam,” a reference to a wave of widespread, coordinated attacks against Israeli tourists in the Dutch capital, following a soccer game earlier this month.

[GEO.TV] Indian Moslem protesters clashed with police Sunday with at least two people killed in riots sparked by a survey investigating if a 17th-century mosque was built on a Hindu temple.
"Two persons were confirmed dead," Pawan Kumar, a police officer in Sambhal in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, told AFP, adding that 16 coppers were "seriously injured" during the festivities.
The Press Trust of India news agency quoted officials saying three people had died.
Hindu activist groups have laid claim to several mosques they say were built over Hindu temples during the Moslem Mughal empire centuries ago.
Street battles broke out when a team of surveyors entered the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal on orders from a local court, after a petition from a Hindu priest claiming it was built on the site of a Hindu temple.
Protesters on Sunday hurled rocks at police, who fired tear gas canisters to clear the crowd.
Hindu nationalist activists were emboldened earlier this year when Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a grand new Hindu temple in the northern city of Ayodhya, built on grounds once home to the centuries-old Babri mosque.
That mosque was torn down in 1992 in a campaign spearheaded by members of Modi's party, sparking sectarian riots that killed 2,000 people nationwide, most of them Moslems.
Some Hindu campaigners see an ideological patron in Modi.

[GEO.TV] The warring tribal groups in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Kurram district have finally agreed to a seven-day ceasefire after days of festivities that left at least 30 dead and injured dozens, a KP government spokesperson said on Sunday.
"The two parties have agreed to return each other's hostages and bodies," Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif said in a statement after the delegation, under his chairmanship, met the tribal leaders in a bid to stop the festivities.
He noted that the government delegation flew to Parachinar — Kurram's main city — on Saturday to meet leaders of both sides.
The delegation met both warring parties today to try to broker a ceasefire deal and then move to resolve the matter.
Armed groups have attacked settlements that are populated by members of rival groups.
"Approximately 300 families have relocated to Hangu and Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire... since this morning in search of safety," a bigwig told AFP, adding that more families were preparing to leave the violence-hit district.
The festivities started after button men attacked convoys of civilian vehicles on Thursday, killing at least 44. That sparked retaliatory attacks and there have been pitched battles between gangs from both sides.
At least 75 people have been killed over the past three days in the ongoing shootouts between different tribes, according to police.
It is pertinent to mention here that tribal and family feuds are common in the area.
Last month, at least 16 people, including three women and two children, were killed in a clash in Kurram.
Previous festivities in July and September killed dozens of people and ended only after a jirga, or tribal council, called a ceasefire. HRCP said 79 people died between July and October in festivities.
Several hundred people demonstrated against the violence on Friday in Lahore and Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... In Parachinar, the main town of Kurram district, thousands participated in a sit-in, while hundreds attended the funerals of the victims of Thursday's attack.
The latest violence drew condemnation from officials and human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... groups.

[Breitbart] The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) 810th Alpine (or Mountain) Brigade announced Saturday that it had found weaponry manufactured by Iran on the slopes of Har (Mount) Dov, one of two strategic mountains on the border near Israel.
Breitbart News visited the Alpine Brigade on Thursday and toured the Har Dov area, before the discovery of Iranian weaponry was announced. The newly-formed brigade was deemed necessary because of the potential for infiltration into Israel through the unfenced mountain slopes of Har Dov and Mount Hermon, the highest peak in the region.
As Breitbart News reported on location on Thursday:
Har Dov is near the Shebaa Farms, an area that Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror organization, claims for Lebanon, but which Israel seized from Syria during the Six Day War in 1967. The United Nations, normally hostile to Israel, actually agrees with Israel that Lebanon has no legal claim to the farms or Har Dov.
In recent years, Hezbollah has attempted to encroach on the area. It has also used the Har Dov issue in its effort to persuade Lebanon’s people of the need for war against Israel, rather than admitting that the Iranian regime has been using war for its own narrow interests.
Rather than dismiss Hezbollah’s claims, the Biden-Harris administration took them at face value, and attempted to persuade Israel to withdraw its forces from the Har Dov area as a condition of the ceasefire deal it wanted to impose after Hezbollah had fired missiles, rockets, and drones at Israel for nearly a year, starting in October 2023.
But Israel could not accept such a deal, primarily because Har Dov has a commanding view of almost all of the upper Galilee, making it a key strategic location.
The IDF issued the following statement Saturday:
For the past two months, troops of the 810th Brigade and the Alpinist Unit continued to conduct targeted, intelligence-based raids in the thicketed terrain of Mount Dov. During these activities, the soldiers located and dismantled numerous Hezbollah weapons and terrorist infrastructure.
Over the past week, the soldiers located a Hezbollah launch site containing accommodation facilities and hideouts. In the compound, the troops located and confiscated an Iranian-manufactured cannon, rocket launchers, and rockets aimed toward Israel.
The IDF released photos of a cannon with Iranian markings, plus a rocket launching battery aimed into Israel.
Iran supplies Hezbollah, along with Russia. Iran also provides funding for the terrorist group’s ongoing operations.
Control of Har Dov is now firmly in Israel’s hands; it is no longer a topic within ceasefire negotiations with Hezbollah.
Aaaaand…. mic drop.
Har Dov: the area Hezbollah claims for Lebanon (without legal basis) and wants Israel to cede in the Golan. Before Israel was crushing Hezbollah the Biden-Harris administration proposed that Israel withdraw its troops from here. An insane idea: the peak dominates northern Israel. pic.twitter.com/pOw6GJdazr
Use ‘em or lose ‘em, boys. The IDF infantry is already demolishing your second line in the south, and beyond that everything important to you that’s reachable from the sky.
[IsraelTimes] Woman wounded when car catches fire after rocket impact in Petah Tikvah; residential buildings damaged in Haifa amid heavy barrage; IDF strikes in Beirut
Several people were maimed by rocket fire on Sunday as the Hezbollah terror group fired more than 250 rockets and drones at northern and central Israel in several salvos throughout the day, according to the military and medics. In northern Israel, a man in his 60s was hit by shrapnel to the stomach while working in a field in the Kfar Blum area, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service. He was maimed, and taken to Ziv Hospital in Safed for treatment. In Haifa, two men in their fifties were lightly hurt by shrapnel during a rocket barrage on the northern port city, MDA said, and one other person was being treated for acute anxiety. The barrage also caused damage to a residential building in the area.
Earlier on Sunday, a woman in her 50s was lightly injured by shrapnel following rocket fire on the Western Galilee at around 7:30 a.m. The rocket impact also caused damage to a factory in the northern town of Ma’alot-Tarshiha.
The IDF said that some 30 rockets and drones were launched in the early morning attack, some of which were intercepted by air defenses.
The military said two of the drones were intercepted and "additional interception attempts were made," but did not specify how many apparently crashed. It said the incident ended with no immediate reports of injuries as a result of the drones.
Minutes later, rocket sirens blared in cities and towns north of Tel Aviv, including in Netanya and Herzliya.
The IDF later said that six rockets had been fired toward the center of the country 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... , five of which were intercepted by aerial defenses. The sixth rocket struck an open area, although there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
A second barrage of eight rockets was fired at central Israel at around 1:00 p.m., one of which impacted in the city of Petah Tikvah and another in the agricultural community of Rinatya.
Central Israel was again targeted in the evening with several missiles fired, some intercepted while others fell in open areas.
In the aftermath of the strike in Petah Tikva, Magen David Adom said it was treating a 70-year-old woman suffering from smoke inhalation due to a car that caught fire as a result of the impact. The woman was said to be in moderate condition. Several other people were receiving treatment for acute anxiety and minor injuries sustained while running to shelter, medics said.
Heavy damage was also sustained to homes in Rinatya after a rocket struck there. The owners of one of the houses were not home at the time, Channel 12 reported, as they were on a tour of Kibbutz Kfar Aza in the south, which was one of the hardest-hit communities in the October 7 Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... onslaught. Relatives of the couple told the outlet that the home had no reinforced area and that the elderly couple would have not been able to shelter had they been home during the attack.
Most of the remaining rockets fired at the center of the country were intercepted, and the military said it was investigating possible damage caused by shrapnel following the interceptions.
Amid the heavy rocket fire from Lebanon, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man Col. Avichay Adraee issued evacuation warnings for two buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs, ahead of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on Hezbollah assets. A short while later, reports in Lebanese media indicated that Israel was carrying out strikes in the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahiyeh, Beirut’s southern suburbs.
Elsewhere in Lebanon, IDF said that it had also struck the Hezbollah launcher that was used in the attack on Haifa earlier on Sunday, and released footage of the strike.
In a separate incident on Sunday, one Lebanese Armed Forces soldier was killed and 18 others were maimed, some seriously, after an Israeli strike on an army center n the town of al-Amiriya on the al-Qalila-Tyre road in southern Lebanon. The LAF said that the attack caused severe damage to the facility. After probing the incident, the IDF apologized for the strike.
"The incident took place in an area where fighting is ongoing against the Hezbollah terror organization," the Israeli military said in response to a query by The Times of Israel.
"The IDF regrets the incident and clarifies that it is fighting in a targeted manner against the Hezbollah terror organization, and not against the Lebanese Army," the military said, adding that the incident is under further investigation.
Earlier on Sunday, the IDF confirmed reports that it had launched airstrikes at the Jusiyah Crossing on the Syrian-Lebanon border Saturday night, after it was being used by Hezbollah to transport weapons. The crossing had been struck already once before by the IDF, last month. The military said fighter jets hit military infrastructure in the vicinity of the crossing, which it said were used by the Hezbollah terror organization to transfer weapons from Syria to Lebanon.
Israel has struck several other crossings between Lebanon and Syria in recent months, amid efforts by 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... to supply Hezbollah with weapons.
On Saturday, Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon killed over 55 people, according to Lebanon’s health ministry, whose tolls do not distinguish between combatants and civilians. One strike conducted without warning on a central Beirut building killed at least 20 people and maimed scores more, Lebanese officials said. A Lebanese security source told AFP that the central Beirut strike had "targeted a leading Hezbollah figure," but a Hezbollah politician, Amin Sherri, denied to Lebanese media that any official was present at the time of the attack.
Israeli airstrikes also hit eastern Lebanon, killing 24 people, including 13 in the town of Shmostar overlooking the Beqaa Valley, a Hezbollah stronghold.
In Lebanon’s south, at least 14 were killed including five in the coastal city of Tyre, the health ministry said.
Late Saturday night, the IDF said that a drone launched from Lebanon was shot down by air defenses off the coast of Haifa, and that no sirens were activated as the drone did not get close to population centers, the IDF added.
Since October 8, 2023, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support 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... amid the war there.
Hezbollah has since expanded its attacks to also target cities in central and northern Israel with rockets, in addition to the attacks on the border.
Israel stepped up its offensive on Hezbollah in Lebanon in late September, launching extensive strikes and operations that took out most of the group’s leadership, including its longtime leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> Israel then launched a ground operation into southern Lebanon, with the aim of clearing Hezbollah strongholds in the area and making it safe for evacuated residents of northern Israel to return to their homes.
In recent days, heavy ground fighting between the IDF and Hezbollah has continued in southern Lebanon, with Israeli troops pushing farther from the border.
Still, in the past week Israeli and American officials have expressed guarded optimism about the possibility of securing a ceasefire, after US envoy Amos Hochstein made visits to both Beirut and Jerusalem to discuss terms. A senior Israeli defense official has said there is a high likelihood of a deal.
On Friday afternoon, Channel 12 published details on what it said were the remaining points of contention between Israel and Hezbollah, namely the formation of an international committee that will monitor a deal’s implementation, as well as a number of border demarcation disputes. The network said Israel was demanding language in the agreement that would allow it to unilaterally choose not to engage in negotiations over disputed points.
A bigwig told the channel that "most of the details have been agreed upon, but what remains open is very sensitive and could still derail the agreement."
As of last month, the IDF estimated that over 12,400 rockets and drones have been fired at Israel from Lebanon during the war. The attacks on northern Israel since October 2023 have resulted in the deaths of 44 civilians.
In addition, 71 IDF soldiers and reservists have died in cross-border skirmishes and in the ground operation launched in southern Lebanon in late September.
Israeli attacks have killed at least 3,670 people and injured 15,413 in Lebanon since October 2023, Lebanon’s health ministry said on Saturday.
The IDF estimates that some 3,000 Hezbollah operatives have been killed in the conflict. Around 100 members of other terror groups, along with hundreds of civilians, have also been reported killed in Lebanon.
Jihadis, civilians, imaginary — there’s no way of knowing how many of each are counted by the Hamas minister of “health”.
[GEO.TV] At least 44,211 Palestinians have been killed and 104,567 wounded in Israel's military offensive on Gaza since October 7, 2023, Gaza's health ministry said in a statement on Sunday.

[IsraelTimes] 17 patients, carers transferred from Kamal Adwan Hospital where IDF says Hamas active; hospital chief said hurt in air strike; military instructs residents of Shejaiya to evacuate
The Israel Defense Forces said Sunday that it had transferred over a dozen patients and caregivers from a 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 hospital as part of a campaign that has seen hundreds moved from the perilous area of the Paleostinian enclave to safer regions.
It came as Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... -linked authorities said the hospital director was maimed in a dronezap on his medical facility, and the military issued new evacuation orders to residents in areas of an eastern Gaza City suburb from where rockets were fired at Israel on Saturday.
The IDF said it transferred 17 patients and their caregivers from the Kamal Adwan Hospital to other medical centers in Gaza on Saturday.
Kamal Adwan is one of three hospitals in north Gaza that are reported to be barely operational, due to a shortage of emergency medical, food, and fuel supplies amid a widescale IDF operation in northern Gaza aimed at stopping Hamas from regrouping in the area.
"In accordance with the directive of the political echelon, the IDF, through COGAT’s Coordination and Liaison Administration for Gaza (CLA), continues to act in accordance with international law to facilitate and support humanitarian responses for Gaza residents, particularly in the medical field," the IDF said in a joint statement with COGAT, which coordinates operations with the Paleostinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The patients and carers were moved using two ambulances, the statement said. The move was made as part of a drive "to protect residents along humanitarian evacuation routes and operational medical centers in the Gaza Strip," the IDF said.
Over the past few weeks, 323 patients, caregivers, and medical staff have been transferred from hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, it said.
In addition, Israel supplied the Kamal Adwan Hospital with 60,000 liters of fuel, 230 crates of medical supplies and medication, 180 blood units, and eight trucks of food and water in recent weeks, the statement noted.
Hamas health officials said Sunday an Israeli drone carried out a strike on Kamal Adwan Hospital, injuring its director Hussam Abu Safiya.
"This will not stop us from completing our humanitarian mission and we will continue to do this job at any cost," Abu Safiya said in a video statement circulated by the health ministry on Sunday.
"We are being targeted daily. They targeted me a while ago but this will not deter us..." he said from his hospital bed.
Hospital staff have reported several strikes at the facility, while the World Health Organization chief said he was "deeply concerned about the safety and well-being of 80 patients, including eight in the intensive care unit" at Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Israel says Hamas has repeatedly used civilian areas like hospitals and schools as bases for their terror activities.
Meanwhile,
...back at the Alamo, Davy was wondering if Buck was okay. He suspected he wasn't... new evacuation orders for the Shejaiya suburb of Gaza City posted by the Israeli army spokesperson on X on Saturday night were blamed on Paleostinian bandidosholy warriors firing rockets from that heavily built-up district in the north of the Gaza Strip.
"For your safety, you must evacuate immediately to the south," the military’s post said. The rocket volley on Saturday was claimed by Hamas’ armed wing, which said it had targeted an Israeli army base over the border.
Earlier Saturday the IDF said it intercepted two rockets that were launched from the southern Gaza Strip at Israeli border communities. There were no reports of injuries.
Footage circulated on social and Paleostinian media showed residents leaving Shejaiya on donkey carts and rickshaws, with others, including children carrying backpacks, walking. Families living in the areas began leaving their homes after nightfall on Saturday and into Sunday’s early hours, residents and Paleostinian media said — the latest in multiple waves of evacuations since the war began on October 7, 2023, when Paleostinian terror group Hamas led a massive cross-border attack on southern Israel that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, while 251 where taken as hostages to Gaza.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said Sunday that at least 44,211 people have been killed in more than 13 months of war, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed some 18,000 combatants in battle as of November and another 1,000 bandidosholy warriors 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.
Vowing to stop Hamas from regrouping, Israel on October 6 began an air and ground operation in Jabalia and then expanded it to Beit Lahia.
Adding to the miseries of Gaza’s 2.3 million people, most of whom have been repeatedly displaced, heavy winter rain flooded hundreds of tents across the enclave, spoiling food and sweeping away plastic and cloth sheeting that had protected them against the elements. The Paleostinian Civil Emergency Service said thousands of displaced people were impacted by the seasonal flooding and demanded new tents and caravans from aid donors to shield them.

They’ll blame Israel, of course. But after the world has screamed about it for a bit — perhaps added more charges to the ICC arrest warrant, leading the Biden-[Harris] administration to to emit something more in sorrow than in anger about turning on PM Netanyahu and General Gallant* and Israel as a whole — it will be discovered that it was actually a Hezbollah rocket that went astray. Or perhaps a rocket sent up by the Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad unit currently based in Lebanon.
[Rudaw] Four civilians were maimed in the Kurdish-held town of Tal Rifaat in northwest Syria on Sunday following shelling from Ottoman Turkish-held areas, reported local media and a war monitor.
Media outlets close to the Kurdish authorities reported that Ottoman Turkish artillery shelled Tal Rifaat late Sunday, injuring four people, aged between 10 to 25. They were transferred to a nearby hospital.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said the attack was carried out by the The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... -based holy warriors, adding that no casualties had been reported.
Tal Rifaat is located within a small region of Afrin that is still under control of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG). Hundreds of thousands of Kurds who fled Turkey’s 2018 military offensive in Afrin are still living in camps in Tal Rifaat.
In recent years, Turkey has threatened to carry out an offensive to remove Kurdish fighters from the enclave. Ankara accuses the YPG of using the location to attack its forces.
The town often comes under Ottoman TurkishArclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it carried out airstrikes against 12 Hezbollah command centers in Beirut’s southern suburbs a short while ago.
According to the military, the command rooms belonged to Hezbollah’s intelligence division, coast-to-sea missile unit, and Unit 4400, the latter of which is tasked with delivering weapons from Iran to Lebanon.
The Hezbollah sites were located “in the heart of a civilian population,” the IDF says, accusing the terror group of using human shields.
Before the strikes, the IDF issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the area.
[GEO.TV] Lebanon said an Israeli air strike in the heart of Beirut that brought down a residential building and jolted residents across the city killed at least 15 people on Saturday.
A Lebanese security source told AFP that the strike had "targeted a leading Hezbollah figure", but a Hezbollah lawmaker denied any official of the Iran-backed group was present.
The attack in the capital was followed by others in the city's southern suburbs after calls by the Israeli military to evacuate.

[IsraelTimes] The IDF’s 36th Division has raided over 150 Hezbollah sites and killed dozens of operatives during recent ground operations in southern Lebanon, the military says.
The division is operating in the western sector of southern Lebanon with the Golani Infantry Brigade, 188th Armored Brigade, the 282nd Artillery Regiment — which crossed into Lebanon for the first time in 24 years — and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit.
The IDF says the troops during their operations have located numerous weapons, rocket launchers, bunkers, and Hezbollah fighting positions that posed a threat to northern Israel.
The forces have also killed “a large number” of Hezbollah gunmen in close-quarters fighting and by calling in airstrikes, the military adds.
[IsraelTimes] The Israeli military says it is unaware of any incident supporting claims made by Hezbollah today that the terror group managed to destroy six tanks during fighting in southern Lebanon.
In a statement, Hezbollah alleges that it “destroyed” five Israeli tanks including one that “attempted to advance to withdraw one of the destroyed tanks,” on the eastern outskirts of Bayada, a village close to the coast about 10 kilometers (some six miles) from Israel’s border.
In a separate statement, Hezbollah claimed to have destroyed another IDF tank in the Deir Mimas area, just north of the Metula area, in the eastern portion of the border.
A military source tells The Times of Israel that the IDF is unaware of any such events.
Hezbollah has made numerous false claims during the ongoing fighting, including this morning when the terror group said it launched drones at the Ashdod Naval Base in southern Israel and “hit their targets accurately.” No drones were launched at Israel at that time, and none has reached southern Israel.
[GEO.TV] Israeli attacks killed 84 in Lebanon on Saturday, taking the death toll to 3,754 and 15,626 injured since October 2023, the Lebanese health ministry reported on Sunday.

[Rudaw] Sulaimani security forces (Asayish) on Sunday announced the dismantling of 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.... 's (ISIS) so-called Kurdistan State cell, following months-long operations across the Kurdistan Region and the disputed areas.
General Directorate of Security Forces’ Operations announced in a statement that it had conducted a series of operations from August 9 to November 22, in coordination with other Kurdish forces and and the Iraqi army.
The operations spanned across the Sulaimani, Halabja, and Kirkuk provinces, targeting the group’s so-called Kurdistan Wilayat (state) - which Asayish deemed as "dangerous."
"During this process aimed at stabilizing the Kurdistan Region, five ISIS bad boyz were potted, and 14 were arrested. A number of weapons, bombs, suicide belts, and thermal military cameras were seized, and all their hideouts were destroyed," read the statement from Asayish.
Three members of Asayish forces were killed during the operations, and three others were maimed. There also three injuries from the Iraqi security forces.
The ISIS cell aimed at "connecting the sleeping cells in Kurdistan [Region] and Iraq with murderous Moslems in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... and Iran," according to the statement, adding that they also planned to set up checkpoints wearing military uniforms to kidnap businessmen to finance the group.
The statement also noted that it has detained several ISIS suspects in Sharazoor, which later rejoined their families following rehabilitation.
ISIS was in control of swathes of Iraqi territory at its height in 2014. The Iraqi army and the Kurdish Peshmerga fought to retake areas of the country controlled by the hard boyz and declared the territorial defeat of ISIS in 2017. The United States-led global coalition provided both forces with air and ground support, as well as training and equipment.
Despite its territorial defeat, the forces of Evil have taken shelter in the disputed territories between Erbil and Baghdad, where there is a security vacuum.
Last week, the Kurdistan Region’s Peshmerga ministry announced two Kurdish Peshmerga commanders and another fighter were killed, with three soldiers maimed when an IED went kaboom! on a joint Iraqi-Kurdish patrol in Salahaddin province’s Tuz Khurmatu, located about 65 kilometers south of Kirkuk city.
