[ShabelleMedia] The corpse count from the intense festivities between Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... security forces and ISIS murderous Moslems in Somalia’s Bari region has tragically escalated, with the latest reports confirming 18 Puntland soldiers killed following Tuesday’s violent mostly peaceful confrontation.
The assault, initiated by ISIS murderous Moslems with boom-mobiles targeting Puntland defenses in Dharjale, escalated into a vicious battle that included close combat engagements.
Updated figures released Thursday morning show that the number of maimed Puntland soldiers has now increased to 30, with some still at death's door. Puntland officials have also confirmed that eight ISIS fighters, including foreign combatants, were killed during the skirmish.
In response to the attack, Puntland has launched a counter-offensive to clear out remaining ISIS elements in the region, with local sources indicating that several suspected ISIS hideouts were raided overnight, leading to the arrest of several individuals believed to be associated with the group.
The situation in the area has stabilized, allowing for continued medical treatment of the casualties in hospitals in Bosaso. Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni has visited the medical facilities multiple times, expressing solidarity with the maimed and vowing to strengthen security measures to prevent future attacks.
International aid organizations have begun to offer support, providing medical supplies and personnel to assist in the treatment of the injured. Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch clutched at his other shoulder...... the Puntland administration is calling for increased support from the federal government of Somalia to address the growing threat of ISIS in the region.
In a pre-dawn assault on a regional army base in Somalia’s Bari region, foreign ISIS fighters met their end, according to Puntland’s Information Minister Mohamud Aided Dirir.
The regional state minister confirmed that the attack, which targeted a military installation in the Dharjaale area near Bosaso town, resulted in the deaths of several militants, including Moroccans, Syrians, and Ethiopians.
The incident underscores the ongoing threat posed by ISIS in Somalia, where the group has been attempting to establish a presence amidst local and international efforts to curb its influence. Puntland, known for its relative stability compared to other parts of Somalia, has seen an uptick in such attacks, with ISIS-Somalia focusing on revenue generation and extortion to fund its operations.
Details from local sources indicate that the militants launched their attack in the early hours, with gunfire and explosions reported around the military base. The swift response from Puntland’s security forces led to a confrontation where the foreign fighters were ultimately neutralized.
Security analysts have long pointed out the complex dynamics of terrorism in Somalia, with ISIS-Somalia clashing not only with local and international forces but also with al-Shabaab, another major militant group in the region. This attack adds to the narrative of an evolving security landscape where foreign fighters play a significant role in sustaining the insurgency.
The Islamic State militants (ISIS) have admitted to conducting attacks at a military base attached to the Puntland Regional Forces, leading to heavy clashes that left the group on the losing end based on the initial reports from Puntland officials.
Throughthe Telegram Channel, the ISIS group took responsibility for the attack at a base located in the eastern parts of the Puntland region. The group lost over 10 fighters, including foreigners whose bodies were displayed by the regional security team.
In its statement, Islamic State said the attack was conducted by 12 militants and two booby-trapped vehicles, adding that it killed around 22 military personnel from the Puntland forces and injured dozens of others, Reuters reports.
Despite the claims, Puntland regional forces have not issued a rejoinder. However, after the attack, the regional forces displayed bodies of badly mutilated bodies purportedly of the IS militants, attached to the Somalia wing.
Captain Yusuf Mohamed, an officer in Puntland's counter-terrorism forces, told Reuters on Tuesday that nine suicide bombers had been killed and several soldiers had been injured, near the town of Dharjaale in the Bari region.
IS-Somalia's influence is growing in the Bari region and the group poses serious security challenges in Puntland, according to a report by the US State Department. The Department warned that if action is not taken, the group could destabilize the federal state of Puntland.
According to reports, the group’s financial fortunes had also increased, making it difficult for security teams in Puntland to handle them. Its leader Abdulqadir Mumin was named as the most dangerous person and designated by the Treasury Department of the United States.
Puntland is activating security operations in the Bari region to counter the growing influence of the militants, with another team targeting Galkayo where Al-Shabaab militants are also making inroads. The al-Shabaab controls most parts of southern regions.

Russia looms vast, an expanse that dwarfs understanding. To dismiss this truth is to dwell in ignorance. A man grapples with his fate—his beloved wife battles the cruel shadows of cancer, while he himself is ensnared in the sinister grip of poison.
This is not merely a tale; it is a narrative crafted in the twilight before the al-Assad dynasty metamorphoses, shedding its skin to emerge anew in another guise. Indeed, Russia is an immense land, a canvas upon which the grand and tragic stories of human existence unfold.
#2 was ACA JOE? Unpossible! The post is reasonably literate, kind of makes sense, and contains absolutely no mention the Juice whatsoever. I'd bet a donut on ChatGPT.
As for Assad, more likely the Ukrainians or the wife. What would the Russians get out of it?

Goes without saying that I love (most) Russians and wish them well. And that it takes at least two to have a race, let alone a demolition derby.

"On its way out the door, the Biden administration unveiled its National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate in December. The Strategy, which denied Islamic terrorism and claimed Muslims were the victims of irrational hate, was not only a giveaway to Islamist groups, but it marked yet another failure by the administration to lay out a counter-terror strategy."
[IsraelTimes] An alleged Israeli strike has killed at least eight Palestinian men in the central Gaza Strip, according to officials in the Hamas-run territory.
The dead are members of local committees that help secure aid convoys, according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, which received the bodies. An Associated Press reporter at the hospital confirms the toll.

[IsraelTimes] Palestinian attacker accelerated vehicle toward troops operating in Dayr Qadis, subsequently tried to flee, but soldiers opened fire and struck him; wounded Israeli treated at scene
An IDF soldier was slightly wounded in a car-ramming attack near the central West Bank town of Dayr Qadis Wednesday evening, the military said.
According to the IDF, the Palestinian assailant accelerated his vehicle toward troops operating in the town. The IDF said that as he tried to flee, the soldiers opened fire and struck the suspect.
One servicewoman was lightly injured in the incident, and she was treated at the scene, the army said, while not elaborating on when exactly she was struck. The soldier did not require hospitalization, though.
The assailant was listed in serious condition, according to first responders.
[IsraelTimes] Eighth such attack in some two weeks sends millions to bomb shelters around 4:30 a.m.; fragment hits Modiin; Yemen drone also intercepted
Sirens were activated across central Israel and in Jerusalem around 4:30 a.m. Friday after a ballistic missile was launched at the country from 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... , the Israel Defense Forces said.
The military said it successfully shot down the projectile, but a fragment following the interception impacted near the central city of Modiin.
Footage posted to social media showed a projectile falling from the sky before a kaboom was seen near the city.
The military was investigating the incident. In the past, partially intercepted missiles launched at Israel have at times crashed with their warhead intact, and caused extensive damage.
Another fragment reportedly fell in the settlement of Har Gilo, near Jerusalem.
Slight damage was caused by the falling debris.
No physical injuries were reported as a direct result of the attack. However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes... medics treated more than nine people who suffered from acute anxiety and 12 who were hurt while seeking shelter, the Magen David Adom ambulance service said.
Later on Friday morning, a drone launched at Israel from Yemen was successfully intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, the military said. According to the IDF, the drone was shot down outside Israel’s borders, and therefore no sirens sounded.
The attack came amid a wave of similar launches in recent weeks by the Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... s in Yemen, a rebel group that is dedicated to the destruction of Israel and Jews.
The Houthis have launched more than 200 missiles and 170 drones at Israel in the past year, according to the Israel Defense Forces. The vast majority did not reach Israel or were intercepted by the military or Israel’s allies in the region.
The Houthis have vowed to keep up the attacks until the end of the war in 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 that began on October 7, 2023, when Paleostinian terror group Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... led a devastating attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage to Gaza.
Recently the Houthis have repeatedly fired missiles at central Israel in the middle of the night. The latest was the eighth such launch over the past two weeks.
Since December, the group has fired 12 ballistic missiles and at least 10 drones at Israel.
The group did not immediately claim Friday’s attacks but is believed by Israel to have been behind them.
Alongside the attacks on Israel, the Iran-backed group has carried out repeated missile and drone attacks on some 100 merchant vessels attempting to traverse the Red Sea, forcing many carriers to avoid the key waterway and hamstringing global shipping. The Houthis initially said they would attack Israel-linked ships but few of the vessels targeted had ties to Israel.
[IsraelTimes] An Israeli resident of the central city of Petah Tikva has been indicted at the Central District Court for carrying out missions on behalf of Iran that harmed national security, prosecutors say.
Days after the Shin Bet and police revealed the arrest of Alexander Granovsky, 29, he is charged with being in contact with a foreign agent, handing information to the enemy, and additional vandalism and arson offenses. Prosecutors ask the court to extend his remand until the end of proceedings in the case.
According to the indictment, Granovsky has been in continuous contact with an Iranian agent since November, receiving thousands of dollars and carrying out “a series of severe acts, including filming security facilities, spray-painting political messages, torching cars and additional acts.”
It says that in December, Granovsky was asked to purchase weapons and filmed the neighborhood where former defense minister Benny Gantz lives, as well as power plants in Hadera and Tel Aviv, sending the Iranian agent the footage.
He was also allegedly asked to buy and then destroy army uniform, and to find people with criminal pasts to carry out “acts of violence.” He sent contact details for two such people. The indictment says he also agreed to make Molotov cocktails but failed due to language barriers.
Granovsky was allegedly aware he was cooperating with a hostile element, and even brought up more potential tasks and demanded that the agent give him more — and bigger — missions.
There has been a series of plots involving civilians apparently recruited by Iran that security agencies say have been foiled in recent months.
[IsraelTimes] IDF confirms strike on aide Hussam Shahwan, accusing him of terrorizing Gazans and planning attacks on Israel; rocket fired at Israeli border town after Katz vows to step up strikes
An Israeli airstrike on a central Gaza tent camp killed Hamas’s chief of police in the enclave along with his deputy and several others, including children, the Hamas terror group said Thursday.
Police chief Mahmoud Salah and his deputy Hussam Shahwan were killed in a strike in the al-Mawasi area, inside the IDF-designated humanitarian zone west of Khan Younis, Hamas said. Medics said 11 people were killed in the strike.
The Israeli military confirmed killing Shahwan, accusing him of “hiding under the protection of the civilian population in the humanitarian zone in Khan Younis.” It did not mention Salah.
The Israel Defense Forces identified Shahwan as having served as Hamas’s head of internal security, and said he was responsible for “severely violating the human rights” of Gazan civilians, including “violent interrogations,” as well as taking part in planning attacks against Israeli troops.
The IDF said it took steps ahead of the strike to reduce the harm to civilians, accusing Hamas of “cruelly exploiting civilian shelters, civilian buildings and the civilian population as human shields.”
In a statement, the Hamas-run Interior Ministry condemned the killing of the two police officers, saying “they were performing their humanitarian and national duty in serving our people.”
“By committing the assassination, the occupation continues to spread chaos in the Strip and deepen the human suffering of citizens,” the ministry said, adding that “the police force is a civil protection force that works to provide services to citizens.” The ministry said Salah spent 30 years in the police and was appointed its chief six years ago.
Medics in the Hamas-ruled enclave claimed that 11 people were killed in the strike, including women and children, and that 15 others were wounded.
“Eleven people were martyred, including three children and two women, and 15 were injured after the occupation aircraft bombed a tent housing displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis city in the southern Gaza Strip,” Gaza’s civil defense agency said in a statement.
Also on Thursday, the IDF said that the Israeli Air Force had struck a command center run by Hamas operatives inside the Khan Younis municipality building, within the boundaries of the humanitarian zone.
Medics told Reuters that six people were killed in the strike.
The IDF said that the command center was used to “plan and execute acts of terrorism against IDF forces and the State of Israel.”
It said that many steps were taken before the strike to mitigate harm to civilians including using precise munitions, aerial observations and other intelligence gathering.
“The Hamas terror group systematically violates international law, while viciously using the cover of civilian shelters, civilian buildings and the civilian population as a human shield while carrying out terror activities,” the IDF said.
Defense Minister Israel Katz on Wednesday threatened Hamas with intensified attacks if it “does not soon allow the release of the Israeli hostages from Gaza… and continues to fire at Israeli communities.”
The threat came after Hamas stepped up rocket fire at Israel from Gaza over the past week, following months with only sporadic missile fire from the Strip. At noon on Thursday, Hamas fired a rocket at Kibbutz Holit near the border, which the IDF said was intercepted.
At the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Day, Hamas fired rockets at the southern city of Netivot. On Saturday afternoon, Hamas fired two long-range rockets toward Jerusalem, after having not fired at the capital in over a year. The terror group has also targeted border towns near Gaza several times in recent days.
[IsraelTimes] Six people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike at the Hamas-run Interior Ministry headquarters in Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip, medics tell Reuters.
[Rudaw] 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) forces were denied access to Syria’s southern Suwayda province after local Druze militias demanded they turn back, local media reported on Wednesday.
"A military convoy of dozens of vehicles belonging to Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham and its general security service entered Suwayda Governorate," local media outlet Suwayda 24 reported on Tuesday, adding that local forces "demanded that the convoy returns to Damascus."
Suwayda is controlled by the the Druze Rijal al-Karama (Men of Dignity) militia which was established during the Syrian conflict to protect the minority group from the threat posed by 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) Death Eaters and the former Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Lord of the Baath... regime’s affiliated forces.
The report added that "the factions asked the military convoy to return to Damascus and not to enter the province secretly," emphasizing that there is regular communication with Suwayda and Damascus security authorities.
"We will not hand over our weapons until the state, constitution, and government are formed and the decentralized system is the most appropriate system for Syria," Hikmat Salman al-Hijri, the spiritual leader of the Druze, told Rudaw.
He stressed that laying down arms depends on guaranteeing their constitutional rights.
Fearing an uncertain future, many Druze residents of Suwayda near the Israeli border have called for annexation of their region to Israel. The Druze are a non-Islamic religious minority estimated at one million, with nearly 150,000 of them living in Israel as citizens.
"We cooperate with the new Syrian administration with all sincerity," the Doha-based al-Jazeera channel reported Hijri as saying, adding that the incident "was due to lack of prior coordination."
Protests over poor living conditions have regularly taken place in the Druze-majority Suwayda since August 2023, driven by a surge in prices after the former Assad regime decided to end fuel subsidies. The demonstrators then called for the overthrow of Assad’s government.
After the HTS-led coalition overthrew the Assad regime, they formed a transitional government headed by Ahmad al-Sharaa (Abu Mohammed al-Jolani) who has repeatedly stated that the rights of all components will be protected under the new government.
"Decentralization, today, has become a legitimate demand for the people of Suwayda, after decades of excluding the people of this region from influential political and economic roles in the Syrian state," Syrian journalist Nawras Aziz told Rudaw.
He said that the people of Suwayda are willing to disarm given the formation of a "legitimate government and new civil law."
The new Syrian Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra, a top HTS commander, has expressed that they do not wish to have federalism in the country or to have any area outside the government’s authority.
On Monday, a delegation from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which control northeast Syria (Rojava) held their first meeting with the country's de facto leader Sharaa in Damascus, discussing the future of Kurdish-held areas.
SDF chief Mazloum Abdi told Asharq al-Awsat in a recent interview that they are willing to merge the SDF into the new Syrian army if both sides agree on a "suitable formula through negotiations."
[Rudaw] The people of the southern Druze-majority Suwayda province will demand federalism in the face of aggression and for allowing Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters to enter, a Druze commander said on Wednesday, after HTS-linked fighters were denied access to the province.
A military convoy of HTS-linked fighters was forced to turn back to Damascus by local Druze militias on Wednesday and denied access to Suwayda province, with the militias citing a lack of prior coordination and demanding decentralized governance.
“If we are subjected to any aggression or anything that is imposed on us as a province, we will demand federalism,” Sheikh Bahaa al-Jamal, commander of the Druze operations in Suwayda, told Rudaw’s Dilbixwin Dara.
“We found that the time was inappropriate, and people were busy with New Year celebrations. They entered by trickery and in a malicious way without informing anyone and we reject this matter,” he said about their decision to turn back the HTS-linked fighters.
But the new Syrian Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra, a top HTS commander, has expressed that they do not wish to have federalism in the country or to have any area outside the control of Damascus.
[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Thursday claimed to have repelled several attacks near Manbij and Tishreen Dam by Syrian National Army (SNA) turbans, alleging the presence of Chechen, Turkestani, and Uzbek nationals among the attackers.
"With the participation of hundreds of mercenaries, including members of the so-called ’Guardians of Religion organization’ from Uzbek, Turkestani, and Chechen nationalities, the Ottoman Turkish occupation and its mercenaries launched violent mostly peaceful attacks" read a statement from the SDF.
The al-Qaeda-aligned Hurras al-Din (Guardians of Religion) group broke away from 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) in 2018. Since then, the two groups have competed for influence and territory, with HTS periodically arresting Hurras al-Din members, particularly in 2020, and engaging in conflicts with the group. There have been attempts to reconcile their differences.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees American troops in the Middle East, has repeatedly reported conducting strikes against Hurras al-Din members and leaders, viewing the group as a threat to its allies and American presence in the region.
In 2023, the US designated Sami Mahmud Mohammed al Uraydi, a leader of the Hurras al-Din, as "a Specially Designated Global Terrorist," offering a reward of up to five million dollars for information on his identification or location.
The SDF has been the main ally of the US-led global coalition against ISIS on the ground.
The SDF statement added that they countered the attacks, destroying six armored vehicles as well as killing and wounding "dozens of mercenaries."
Last month, the United States brokered a ceasefire between the SDF and 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... , though Ankara denied having agreed to the arrangement.
However,
some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... there have been reports of continued festivities between the SDF and the SNA which has recently launched expanded attacks on the SDF, particularly near the strategic Tishreen Dam on the Euphrates River.
The Pentagon emphasized on Monday that the ceasefire is "still holding."
[IsraelTimes] The IDF confirms that fighter jets carried out an airstrike in southern Lebanon a short while ago, saying it targeted medium-range rocket launchers at a Hezbollah position.
Another rocket launcher next to the Hezbollah site in the Iqlim al-Tuffah area, in the Nabatieh District, was also struck, the military adds.
The IDF says that as part of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, Israeli authorities sent a request to the Lebanese army to neutralize the launchers “that posed a threat to the Israeli home front” and troops.
“The launchers were struck only after the request was not handled by the Lebanese army,” the IDF says.
The IDF is still deployed to southern Lebanon under the ceasefire agreement, and it has until late January to withdraw, in accordance with the deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces to the area.
[IsraelTimes] Resident of area tells AFP that the intensive strikes, the latest since Assad’s fall, ‘turned the night into day’
Syrian media reported an Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... near Aleppo late Thursday, the latest such attack since the overthrow of longtime strongman Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Oppressor of the Syrians and the Lebs... last month.
According to the Sham FM radio station, the strikes hit a defense facility and a scientific research center near the city of al-Safirah, close to Aleppo.
It was not clear whether the strikes caused any casualties.
A resident of the al-Safirah area told AFP on condition of anonymity: "They hit defense factories, five strikes... The strikes were very strong. It made the ground shake, doors and windows opened — the strongest strikes I ever heard... It turned the night into day."
There was no immediate comment from the IDF.
Since Islamist-led rebels ousted Assad in early December, Israel has conducted hundreds of strikes on Syrian military assets, saying they are aimed at preventing military weapons from falling into hostile hands. Targets have included chemical weapons
...have not been used since WWI except for in Iraq, by the late, unlamented Saddam Hussein and in Syria, but really, honest, not by the Syrian government. And in Germany in WWII, but that was against civilians. Lots of them, just one of many reasons Hitler's also late and unlamented... sites, missiles, air defenses and air force and navy targets.
According to the Sham FM radio station, the strikes hit a defense facility and a scientific research center near the city of al-Safirah, close to Aleppo.
