Yemen retreats to former status: 14th Century satrapy.

[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 a qualitative military operation targeting two specific and sensitive military sites of the Israeli enemy in the occupied Yaffa area.
In support for the oppressed Paleostinian people, response to the ongoing massacres against the Gazooks and their beloved resistance, and continuation of the fifth scope of escalation, as well as in retaliation to the Israeli aggression against Yemen, the missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation two strategic and sensitive Israeli military sites in occupied Jaffa using two Paleostine-2 hypersonic ballistic missiles.
The operation successfully achieved its objectives, by the grace of God, according to a statement read by the Yemeni military front man General Yahya Sare'e on Thursday morning.
This operation was conducted in response to the Israeli aggression against civilian infrastructure in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, and al-Hudaydah Governorate, including attacks on power stations, Sare'e elaborated.
''Our response comes within the framework of a legitimate and natural reaction.''
''The Israeli aggression will not deter Yemen and its people from fulfilling their religious and moral duty to respond to the massacres 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... . Likewise, it will not deter our retaliation against this blatant aggression through continued support and targeted strikes on hostile objectives using appropriate weaponry,'' the brigadier general stressed.
The intercepted strike came at the same time as Israel was carrying out raids on the Iran-backed rebels in Yemen, who have fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel over the past year.
The group’s spokesman Yahya Saree said the rebels had targeted “two specific and sensitive military targets… in the occupied Yaffa area,” referring to the Jaffa region near Tel Aviv, with “hypersonic ballistic missiles.”
Israel says one missile was fired and intercepted, though debris hit a school near Ramat Gan, collapsing a building. There were no injuries.

[IsraelTimes] Two teenage girls have been sentenced to 18 months of youth rehabilitation after carrying out a series of antisemitic attacks on Jewish women and girls in north London’s Stamford Hill last December.
The teens, who could not be named because of their age, targeted the victims in four separate incidents over the course of half an hour in December 2023, the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) says. One attack left a woman unconscious.
The pair were convicted of attempted robbery, religiously aggravated harassment, and actual bodily harm, with one facing an additional charge of attempted theft. Both were also placed under curfew wearing electronic tags for six and three months, respectively, and were ordered to undertake a rehabilitation activity requirement for 30 and 45 hours.
The sentence’s scope reflects that the attacks were largely motivated by hate, CPS says.
“The evidence in this case proved that the two teenagers targeted most of the victims because they were Jewish,” says Senior Crown Prosecutor Jagjeet Saund.
“Key witness testimony proved that the defendants were mocking them, using antisemitic language, making it plainly obvious that these attacks were hate crimes,” Saund says. “There is no place for such intolerance and hatred, and the Crown Prosecution Service will continue to work closely with the police to ensure those who spread hate, prejudice and hostility are prosecuted.”
Stamford Hill is home to the largest Hasidic community in Europe.
[X]Surely municipal London and England nationally have laws about blocking passage on public roads. Hopefully when Nigel Farage is elected prime minister he see to enforcement.
Pro-Palestinian protesters took over central London in order to sabotage the Christmas.

[Telegraph] A car ploughed into a crowd at a German Christmas market on Friday, injuring between 60 and 80 people and killing one in a suspected terror attack.
The car crashed through barriers protecting the market in Magdeburg and drove straight into shoppers, eyewitnesses reported.
Video purportedly taken by a nearby camera showed a car mowing down dozens of pedestrians as it sped through a narrow alleyway with stalls on either side.
The driver has been arrested, Germany’s DPA news agency reported, and police closed the market as they searched for explosives.
More than 20 people appeared to have been injured in the attack, the paper reported.
The attack began at 7.04pm local time and the car involved was a dark-coloured BMW, according to reports.
Magdeburg, west of Berlin, is the provincial capital of Saxony-Anholt and home to 240,000 people.

Update at 3:35 pm ET from Grom’s Jerusalem Post link:
At least 11 people were killed and 60-80 wounded after a car rammed into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany on Friday night, Bild reported.
The driver has since been arrested, according to multiple German media reports. Police said the driver drove "at least 400 meters across the Christmas market" through the crowds.
Emergency services have set up tents to care for the wounded while 10-20 have reportedly arrived at Magdeburg University Hospital for emergency treatment.
Update from the Telegraph at 6:51 pm ET:
A car ploughed into a crowd at a German Christmas market on Friday, killing at least two people, including a small child, and leaving almost 70 wounded in a lone wolf terror attack.
The dark-coloured BMW crashed through barriers protecting the market in Magdeburg and drove straight into shoppers at 7.04pm local time.
Video purportedly taken by a nearby camera showed a car mowing down pedestrians as it sped through a narrow alleyway with stalls on either side.
Police arrested the 50-year-old suspect who is a doctor from Saudi Arabia and has lived in Germany since 2006, the premier of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff, said.
The suspect had been practicing medicine in Bernburg, about 23 miles (36 kilometres) south of Magdeburg, according to officials
11:51pm No bombs found
The suspect’s car did not contain explosive devices, police have confirmed.
Investigators have since checked the car and declared it safe.
11:47pm Police consider suspect’s mental state, political views
Police said they were still unsure of the motivation for the attack.
Security experts believe the suspect may suffer from psychological issues, possibly combined with political radicalisation.
However, he is not known to have a prior record of Islamic extremism.
9:31pm According to the state premier, the perpetrator used a rental car registered to Munich.

[FoxNews] Abdullah Azz al-Din Taha Muhammad Hassan, an Egyptian citizen, was slated to be deported
An Egyptian man living in Virginia who was slated to be deported has been charged with planning an attack on the Israeli consulate in New York City.
Abdullah Azz al-Din Taha Muhammad Hassan allegedly provided bomb-making instructions and plans on how to attack the Manhattan consulate to an undercover FBI source, according to court documents. He was arrested Tuesday, the FBI told Fox News Digital.
Another vicious idiot whose very bestest BFF turns out to be an FBI informant. Send him home to trouble the Egyptian government.
Hassan is charged with distribution of information relating to explosives, destructive devices and weapons of mass destruction in furtherance of the commission of a federal crime.
"The FBI’s New York Office wants to reassure our Jewish community here in New York that our office — along with our law enforcement partners — remains vigilant in our efforts to identify, investigate and disrupt potential threats to our community, using every tool at our disposal to do so. As always, we urge all community members to report suspicious activity to law enforcement and call 911 in cases of imminent violence or threats to life," the FBI said in a statement.
"We will continue working to ensure our communities remain safe places for all, and we thank the public for their continued trust and partnership."
Hassan caught the FBI's attention after the Fairfax County Police Department informed federal authorities that a tipster alerted police about his social media posts on X. The tipster said the account engaged in "radical and terrorist-leaning behavior."
In several posts, Hassan praised the Islamic State terror group and other radical figures, federal prosecutors said. In August, he began messaging with an FBI confidential source whom he believed he recruited to conduct a "mass casualty attack," authorities said.
Over several weeks, Hassan directed the informant on how to make a bomb, acquire weapons and how to make a "martyrdom video," authorities said. In November, he allegedly selected the Consulate General of Israel as the target of the attack, saying it would be easier to commit an attack using small arms and be "martyred" by the police.
He believed New York would be "a gold mine of targets" for an attack, prosecutors said. As the pair planned the attack, Hassan also allegedly told him to book flights to countries without extradition agreements with the United States. During the attack, Hassan said the source could either murder people at the consulate with an assault rifle or detonate an explosive vest while standing in a group of targets, court documents state.
Hassan also asked for the source to livestream the attack so he could watch it in real time, authorities said.
In a statement, Jonathan Harounoff, the international spokesperson for Israel's Permanent Mission to the United Nations, said the Jewish state "will not cower to terror."
"We will not be silent in the face of hate and violence," he said. "We will not stop in our pursuit of justice and peace. We will continue in our fight to return all 100 of our hostages still being held in Hamas terror tunnels in Gaza."
Ofir Akunis, Israel's consul general in New York, expressed gratitude to authorities for thwarting the alleged attack.
"This attempted attack by terror organizations is an attack on the sovereign soil of the State of Israel in its entirety," he wrote on X. "It's proof that terror knows no boundaries and that we must fight it everywhere and every time. The threat it poses to the western world and its values must be fought together by all western democracies alike. Together we will prevail."
The FBI "Affidavit in Support of a Criminal Complaint and Arrest Warrant" noted that Hassan is an Egyptian national living in Falls Church, Virginia, and — surprise — is apparently in the country illegally, as the affidavit notes that he is currently in removal proceedings with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The affidavit also described social media posts made by Hassan threatening attacks, "Praying for an ISIS masterclass," and "revering" Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al Zawahiri.
The FBI affidavit that led to Hassan's arrest may be viewed here.
What information is available as of this writing — the affidavit alone contains quite a lot — paints quite a vivid picture of a committed Islamic terrorist, willing and able to carry out terror attacks on American soil and who, by the way, has no business being in the country. What isn't clear is how he came to be here in the first place, although the affidavit mentions a Verizon account belonging to Hassan's father, whose whereabouts are not mentioned.
The suspect, Abdullah Ezzeldin Taha Mohamed Hassan, an 18-year-old Egyptian national living in Falls Church, Virginia, instructed an FBI informant to carry out the attack, according to a criminal complaint filed on Monday. He was later confirmed by the Washington Post to be a freshman at George Mason University.

I added location searches of the Rantburg archive to the article.
The result tickled my memory, so I did a deeper search, which revealed that Falls Church contains the Dar al-Hijrah mosque, notorious for Al Qaeda links including hiring Anwar al-Awlaki as their imam. Fred’s auto-translate for him says
... Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, zapped in Yemen, al-Awlaki was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen. He was an Islamic holy man who was a trainer for al-Qaeda and its franchises. His sermons were attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers, by Fort Hood murderer Nidal Malik Hussein, and Undieboomer Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. He was the first U.S. citizen ever placed on a CIA target list...
[IsraelTimes] Israeli fighter jets struck groups of Hamas operatives at command centers embedded within two former schools in Gaza City a short while ago, the military says.
According to the IDF, the Hamas members were using the al-Karama and Shaaban schools in the Tuffah neighborhood to plan and carry out attacks against troops in Gaza and against Israel.
The schools were serving as shelters for displaced Palestinians. Palestinian media report at least 15 dead in the strikes.
The IDF says it took steps to mitigate harm to civilians in the strikes, including by using precision munitions, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.
[IsraelTimes] Mohammad Sa’adi allegedly gave information about rocket impacts, troop locations and plane movements to Lebanese terror group and allied TV station; also asked to join as a fighter
Prosecutors on Thursday indicted a Nazareth man on charges he spied for the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah during the war, the Shin Bet and Israel Police said in a statement.
Mohammad Sa’adi, 19, was charged with contacting a foreign agent after he was detained in November on suspicion that he had passed information to Hezbollah, the statement said.
An investigation by the Shin Bet and Israel Police revealed he had contacted the terror group several times and asked to join the group and fight for it, authorities added.
Sa’adi allegedly sent Hezbollah information on rocket impact locations, aircraft movements, and Israel Defense Forces troop locations.
He is also accused of contacting the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar television station, and sending it photos and videos during the course of the conflict.
Israeli authorities linked Sa’adi’s alleged spying to a series of cases in recent months of Israelis allegedly recruited to spy for Iran, passing on information about rocket impacts, military sites, or individuals targeted for liquidation. Many are thought to have been duped into the work or were drawn in by promises of large payouts rather than seeking to undermine Israel from the inside.
"The investigation into this matter exposed yet again the fact that actors from the Shia axis, led by Iran, are working to advance terror activities in Israel, including by recruiting residents of the State of Israel, whom they exploit to spy for their purposes," the Shin Bet and police said.
Sa’adi appeared to be the first among those charged who allegedly spied for Hezbollah specifically.
[IsraelTimes] IDF investigating reports that an 80-year-old woman was killed during clashes in Nablus; top terror operative killed in Tulkarem strike
At least six Paleostinians were killed and several more injured in raids by Israeli forces in the West Bank, authorities said Thursday, as the military sought to clamp down on rising terror activity across the territory.
At least one civilian, an 80-year-old woman, was among those killed, the Paleostinian Authority said.
In Tulkarem, a dronezap killed four Paleostinian button men, according to the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet. Another three Paleostinians were seriously injured, according to the PA health ministry.
During the Tulkarem raid, troops used bulldozers to destroy infrastructure and seal off entrances to the city, according to the Ottoman Turkish Anadolu news agency.
The IDF and Shin Bet said later Thursday that the dronezap had killed a senior terror operative who was being financed by Iran, alongside three other Paleostinian button men.
According to the Shin Bet, the target of the strike was Tariq al-Doush, who it identified as one of the commanders of a terror network in Tulkarem.
The Shin Bet said that al-Doush worked to recruit operatives in the past year to carry out attacks, who would be armed with Iranian financing via operatives in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel... The operatives in Lebanon who were in contact with al-Doush are members of the Makdah family, who the Shin Bet has accused in the past of working with the IRGC to advance terror attacks in the West Bank.
The network that al-Doush headed was involved in several shooting attacks against IDF troops, checkpoints, and Israeli towns near the West Bank security barrier, the agency said, adding that the network planned to carry out attacks in Israel as well.
Alongside al-Doush, three other button men were killed, including Dosem al-Awfi, who the Shin Bet said was a prominent member of the Tulkarem terror network.
Elsewhere in the West Bank on Thursday, Paleostinian officials charged that Israeli forces had killed two people, one of them an 80-year-old woman, and injured several others during a raid near Nablus.
The military said that it was looking into the reported deaths, without providing additional information.
The PA health ministry in Ramallah said Halima Abu Leil, 80, was fatally shot in the chest and leg during a raid in the Balata refugee camp near Nablus. The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy confirmed her death after transporting her to the hospital.
A short while later, the ministry announced the death of a second Paleostinian, a 25-year-old man.

While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....> ’s Fatah party, claimed that the second person killed, Qusai Sarouji, was a fighter in their respective terror organizations.
At least four others were maimed during the raid, it said, including two men aged 21 and 22, a 65-year-old man who suffered gunshot wounds, and another individual injured by bullet shrapnel.
The Red Islamic Thingy also accused Israeli forces of firing at its ambulances, "obstructing the delivery of humanitarian and medical services inside the camp."
There was no immediate comment on the accusation by the IDF.
The army said Thursday it had operated in the West Bank to survey the homes of three Death Eaters responsible for a deadly terror attack earlier this year, ahead of their potential demolitions.
In August, 23-year-old Yonatan Deutsch was killed near the Mehola Junction on Route 90, the main north-south artery in the West Bank’s Jordan Valley. Hamas took responsibility for the attack.
"The mapping was carried out in preparation for examining the possibility of demolishing the terrorist’s house," the army said.
Since October 7, troops have arrested some 6,000 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,350 affiliated with Hamas.
According to the PA health ministry, more than 716 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or Death Eaters carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 42 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another six members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
[IsraelTimes] An Israeli soldier visiting Sri Lanka had to flee the country after he was identified by a pro-Palestinian organization, Channel 12 reports.
Yesterday, the Hind Rajab Foundation posted a picture of the soldier, Gal Ferenbook, and said that it had appealed to Sri Lankan authorities, the International Criminal Court, and Interpol, demanding his arrest over the killing of a civilian in Gaza.
According to the organization, Ferenbook posted a video on his Instagram account on August 9 showing what it claims is a dead Palestinian civilian. Ferenbook laughs as another soldier calls him “the Terminator.”
Ferenbook received an urgent call from Israeli authorities telling him to leave Colombo before he was arrested, Channel 12 reports.
Other similar incidents have taken place abroad, according to the report, including in Cyprus.
“The IDF does everything it can and uses all available means to protect its servicemembers at home and abroad,” says the IDF.
The military refuses to indicate whether Ferenbook will face disciplinary or criminal proceedings upon returning to Israel.

[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it demolished rocket launchers and weapons at Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon
During operations carried out by the 300th “Baram” Regional Brigade, the IDF says troops found anti-tank missiles, an artillery piece, explosive devices, and rocket launchers.
Some of the launchers found by troops were aimed at Israel, the military adds.
[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said on Wednesday that the Syrian National Army (SNA), with Ottoman Turkish air support, has continued attacks on the symbolic Kurdish city of Kobane in northern Syria and posed a threat to the crucial Tishreen Dam despite the US-brokered ceasefire which has been extended through the end of the week.
"Despite ongoing de-escalation efforts by the United States of America, the Ottoman Turkish occupation and its mercenaries continued their attacks on numerous areas in the vicinity of Kobani, the Tishreen Dam, and Ain Issa yesterday and today," the SDF said in a statement, noting that the SNA, a coalition of Ankara-backed militia groups, on Tuesday attacked the Tishreen Dam near Manbij city with Ottoman Turkish air support.
The US-backed force also noted that attacks continued from Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning, targeting Kobane city, the Tishreen Dam and villages in Ain Issa.
Kurdish officials had repeatedly warned that the recent attacks on the dam have severely damaged the structure of the dam and its operations.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor, reported that the SDF and the SNA were "committing to the US-brokered ceasefire agreement," elaborating that the extended deal went into effect from midnight on Tuesday to Wednesday.
However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... the Observatory later reported that the SNA had violated the truce.
SDF has also warned that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... member, but not the most reliable... and SNA have prepared to strike Kobane after rebels toppled Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor. If he'd stuck with it he'd have had a good practice by now... ’s regime earlier this month. They first moved against the US-backed SDF by attacking the northwestern Shahba region, taking Tal Rifaat and Manbij.
The US brokered a four-day ceasefire between the SDF and Turkey last week, which State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said was extended on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, a Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) representative in Washington said that the US wants to sustain the ceasefire deal but blamed Ankara for its continued "aggressive stance against the Kurds."
The SDC is the political arm of the US-backed SDF - the de-facto army of northeast Syria (Rojava).
SDF General Commander Mazloum Abdi on Tuesday said they are committed to a "comprehensive" ceasefire across Syria and proposed the establishment of a "demilitarized zone" in Kobane under US supervision, an initiative he stated "aims to address Ottoman Turkish security concerns and ensure the long-term stability of the region."
[Rudaw] At least 21 murderous Moslems of the Syrian National Army (SNA) were killed on Wednesday after the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) retaliated to their attack on the Tishreen Dam near Manbij, a war monitor reported, amid violations of a ceasefire deal.
"At least 21 members of the pro-Ottoman Turkish factions were killed and others were maimed by fire from the Manbij Military Council forces, in an attack by the pro-Ottoman Turkish factions on housing in Tishreen Dam," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor.
A fragile US-brokered ceasefire between the Kurdish-led SDF and the Ankara-backed SNA near the symbolic Kurdish city of Kobane in northern Syria has been in place since last week and was extended on Tuesday.
But both the Observatory and the SDF have blamed the SNA for violating the ceasefire.
On Thursday, the SDF said that they shot down a Ottoman Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone near Kobane after it launched strikes on the US-backed force.
Kurdish officials had repeatedly warned that the recent attacks on the dam have severely damaged the structure of the dam and its operations.
SDF has also warned that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... and SNA have prepared to strike Kobane after rebels toppled Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Oppressor of the Syrians and the Lebs... ’s regime earlier this month. They first moved against the SDF by attacking the northwestern Shahba region, taking Tal Rifaat and Manbij.
[Rudaw] Hadi Albahra, president of the Syrian National Coalition (SNC), said on Wednesday that they have not met with the leadership of the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State... (HTS), current rulers of Syria, adding that the transitional government aims at prioritizing security and stability.
"The coalition did not meet with the commander of the military operations room, Ahmed al-Sharra, but there were some contacts with parties working in the administration of the government and parties close to him," Albahra told Rudaw’s Omer Sonmez during a presser in Istanbul on Wednesday, referring to the HTS leader who is better known by his nom de guerre, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani.
The SNC leader’s remarks come amid historic changes in Syria as a coalition of militia groups, led by the HTS, ousted Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Scourge of Qusayr... on December 8.
The collapse of the regime marked a new start in Syria’s history. The HTS-led groups established a transitional government led by caretaker Prime Minister Mohammed al-Bashir who has promised a future Syrian state that guarantees the rights of all its citizens.
Albahra added that "the priority at the current stage, the interim caretaker phase that ends next March, is the issue of security, safety, stability, securing needs and preserving state institutions."
SNC’s military wing, the Syrian National Army (SNA), controls swathes of Syrian territory in the north with the help of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... . The future of their relations with the HTS-led administration remains unclear.
A spokesperson for Syria’s transitional government told Rudaw on Wednesday that no authority other than the central government in Damascus will be recognized.
"We will not accept any part of Syrian territory to remain outside the control of the current government in Damascus," Obeida Arnaout said.
United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... Special Envoy to Syria Geir Pedersen said on Tuesday that while much of Syria appears stable the situation remains "fragile," with ongoing violence and displacement in Rojava threatening the country's peace.
The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo told Rudaw in Brussels that the new Syria should avoid conflict and its components must be allowed to live in harmony.
Turkey and the SNA have launched numerous attacks on the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northern Syria in recent days despite a US-brokered ceasefire which expires at the end of the week.
Albahra linked the conflict to the presence of a "terrorist organization," referring to the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) - the backbone of the SDF. Ankara considers the YPG the Syrian offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
PKK, designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey, has been involved in a decades-long conflict with Ankara.
It has repeatedly denied any presence in Syria or having organic ties with the YPG.
