[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] During President Donald Trump's first month back in office thousands of migrants illegally in the country were taken into custody and prepped for deportation.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies and law enforcement partners have conducted raids and arrests of undocumented immigrants all across the country since January 20.
Authorities are on track to more than double the 113,000 arrests the agency made in Fiscal Year 2024 under former President Joe Biden.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the number of arrests was 20,000 in the one-month span from January to February.
A breakdown of who these migrants are is not readily available.
But DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said of those arrested, 22 are suspected terrorists, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Another 640, she notes, are known to be suspected gang members.
Trump vowed to remove the 'worst of the worst' illegal immigrants from the U.S. in his mass deportation plan.
White House officials confirmed to DailyMail.com earlier this month that more than 6,000 migrants had been deported in Trump's first two weeks back in the Oval Office.
At least several hundred migrants were flown to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba recently as Trump planned to use the terrorist prison there to house around 30,000 illegal immigrants as ICE detention facilities approach capacity.
The administration halted housing migrants in tent structures on the base amid concerns the lack of air conditioning and electricity in the temporary facilities fails to meet detention standards, a CNN report notes.
ICE was publishing daily arrest figures with a breakdown of deportation numbers along with the demographics of how many had committed crimes outside of their illegal crossings into the U.S.
The agency stopped widely providing these numbers after the first few days of Trump's second term – but they periodically disclose estimates to inquiring journalists.
ICE officials told their agents after Trump's first week back in D.C. that offices are each responsible for 75 arrests every day, which nationwide would amount to approximately 1,500 total.
When numbers were still being reported daily, the highest day for arrested included roughly half with a criminal background.
[Garowe] The Somali National Army (SNA) repulsed a major al-Shabaab ... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all ofwhich have enough problems without them... attack at Balad town, sources said, reflecting the commitment by the local forces to restore peace and stability in the Horn of Africa.
Residents reported heavy gunfire, explosions, and intense firefight in and around the agricultural town. This is the first major attack in the country in as many weeks, but the murderous Moslems have significantly lost ground.
For the last two weeks, the al-Shabaab have been launching pre-dawn attacks following operations by the Somali National Army and 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... Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) in Middle Shabelle and Hiran regions.
When President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud took over, these areas were where the federal government had successes against the Death Eaters during the 2022-2023 military offensive, which led to a major defeat against the group.
According to officials, the local troops got a major boost from the Burundian troops, who were stationed around the scene of the battlefield. Multiple casualties have been reported but the exact figures are yet to be disclosed.
This comes amid major differences between Mogadishu and Bujumbura over the exact number of soldiers who would serve in the AUSSOM. The Burundian government has threatened to withdraw the soldiers if a solution is not reached.
According to officials, the Burundian government wants the allocation of soldiers to be doubled to 2,000 from the current suggestion of 1050, but Somalia has not approved the number. A total of 11,500 people shall serve in AUSSOM as peacekeepers, including the civilian team.
Security analysts believe the capabilities of terrorist organizations are increasing and evolving relatively fast. In Somalia, the al-Shabāab al-Mujāhideen Terror group could own the largest cache of Kamikaze and small surveillance drones in the entire East and Central Africa.
The Somali National Army (SNA) thwarted an assault by al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... forces of Evil on military bases near Bal’ad district in the Middle Shabelle region,30 kilometers north of Mogadishu late Thursday night, military officials said.
The attack, launched in the early hours during morning prayers, was met with a robust defense, resulting in significant losses for the holy warrior group, according to Somali military sources cited by state media. While exact figures remain unconfirmed, several al-Shabaab fighters were reportedly killed, with their bodies discovered strewn across nearby farmlands.
The morning attack follows a major offensive earlier this week in the El Cali Axmed and al-Kowther areas, where Somali forces, backed by international partners, killed more than 70 forces of Evil in combined air and ground operations. The Middle Shabelle region, a strategic corridor between Mogadishu and Hirshabelle state, has seen heightened bad boy activity as al-Shabaab attempts to disrupt government-led campaigns.
The Somali federal government has ramped up efforts in recent months to reclaim areas under al-Shabaab control, focusing on central and southern regions.
The Ministry of Information emphasized that current operations aim to dismantle the group’s presence and secure vital infrastructure, including roads linking Mogadishu to central Somalia, to bolster economic stability and governance.
Africa being Africa, it's more of a dramedy tragedy clusterf**k. One day, the entire continent will be a shiny city on a hill, but today is not that day. Probably not tomorrow either.
[ShabelleMedia] Mortar shells struck near Aden Adde International Airport in the Somali capital on Thursday as security forces heightened measures ahead of a planned visit by Æthiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, security sources said.
It was not immediately clear if the attack caused any casualties. Warning sirens blared across the airport, indicating a potential security threat, according to a Rooters witness.
Officials said that Abiy Ahmed’s visit to Mogadishu prompted tightened security, with several roads in the city sealed off in preparation for his arrival.
Further details on the incident were not immediately available.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The medical charity, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said it has been forced to halt its activities in North Darfur State due to the escalation of attacks and fighting in and around Zamzam camp for displaced people near the North Darfur capital, El Fasher.
The attacks, MSF said, hinders provision of medical assistance in such dangerous conditions.
Despite widespread starvation and immense humanitarian needs, we have no choice but to take the decision to suspend all our activities in the camp, including the MSF field hospital, it further added.
According to the medical charity, it teams in Zamzam received 139 maimed patients in its field hospital, mostly suffering from gunshot and shrapnel injuries in the first three weeks of February.
''Eleven patients died while in the MSF hospital, five of them children, because we could neither treat them properly nor refer them to Saudi hospital, the only facility with surgical capacity in nearby El Fasher,'' said Yahya Kalilah, MSF's head of mission in Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... He added, ''In January and December, two of our ambulances carrying patients from the camp to El Fasher were shot at. Now it's even more dangerous and as a result, many people, including patients requiring trauma surgery or emergency caesarean sections, are trapped in Zamzam.''
[AFRICANEWS] Scenes of panic broke out in the city of Goma and the Nyiragongo territory on Tuesday, after rumors of forced recruitment by the M23 rebel movement.
Panic-stricken parents rushed into schools to collect their children, while others ran for their lives.
School officials and M23 authorities strongly denied No, no! Certainly not! allegations of forced recruitment. The rebel movement called the allegations part of a disinformation campaign.
The new M23 authorities in Goma called on the public to remain calm, insisting that no recruitment was taking place in schools. They also stated that the M23 had never carried out any forced recruitment in the areas under its control.
Despite these denials, the panic has prompted fears among the local population in Goma. Local authorities are being urged to take steps to reassure the population.
According to the UN Spokesperson, in Lubero Territory, north of Goma, festivities last week forced more than 100,000 people from their homes.
Following a rapid advance in the east of the country, M23 rebels have captured a number of important cities and towns.

[AFRICANEWS] After an explosion went off in the midst of an M23 rally in the Democratic Republic of Congo, dozens have been wounded and eleven killed, according to rebel leaders.
The incident unfolded in eastern Congo's city of Bukavu.
The head of the Congo River Alliance, which includes the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, stated that the perpetrator was among the dead.
''I would like to give you here the first assessment that we have, which is that the attack caused eleven deaths, including of a woman. Verifications are in progress. The perpetrator of the attack himself is part of these deaths. There are 65 injured, including six critically,'' said Corneille Nangaa, rebel leader of the Congo River Alliance (AFC).
He also accused the Congolese President of not negotiating with the rebels, saying, ''we have always expressed the wish to see a political solution to the multifaceted crisis in the Congo. And we note, unfortunately, that he (President Felix Tshisekedi) is attached to war.''
The Rwanda backed M23 rebels have rapidly advanced in the region, killing some 3000 people, and seizing key towns including Bukavu and Goma.

[Breitbart] In an apparent attempt to appease U.S. officials who have been pushing for tariffs and punitive measures against Mexico for their alleged role in protecting drug cartels, that country’s authorities confirmed the extradition of 29 criminals wanted by the U.S. Department of Justice. These include a top drug boss behind the 1985 murder of DEA Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, the two supreme leaders of Los Zetas Cartel, and the brother of the supreme leader of Cartel Jalisco New Generation.
On Thursday afternoon, Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office confirmed the extradition of 29 wanted criminals who were all in custody in various prisons across Mexico. The confirmation of the extradition came at the same time that Mexico’s security cabinet was meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his staff over that country’s response to drug cartels.
The extradited fugitives include Rafael Caro Quintero — one of the leaders of the Guadalajara Cartel. This criminal organization is considered to be the root of where most of Mexico’s western cartels, including the Sinaloa Cartel, the Juarez Cartel, and the Tijuana Cartel, spawned. As Breitbart Texas reported, Caro Quintero is wanted in the United States for his role as one of the masterminds behind the kidnapping and gruesome murder of DEA Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena in 1985.
Breitbart Texas reported that the extradited criminals also included Miguel Angel “Z-40” and Omar “Z-42” Trevino Morales, the two supreme leaders of Los Zetas.
A fourth wanted crime boss who was also extradited is Antonio “Tony Montana” Oseguera Cervantes, the brother of the supreme leader of Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG), one of the most powerful and sadistic drug cartels in Mexico.

The extradition comes as part of several other moves by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum, who, along with her cabinet, has been trying to avoid the imposition of tariffs by the Trump Administration over claims by the White House that Mexico has colluded and protected drug cartels.

Note of the 29 Cartel extradited.
9 used Texas due to the Biden Regime Open No Borders policy, and 7 operated out of Washington, DC.
It has me wondering how much $$$$$$ and (Hunter Vitamins) changed hands between the Cartels and the DC Swamp, to keep ICE & DEA a lease? So the cartel could operate near free of intervention.

If the feds found any new transactions between the dems and the cartel, wouldn't that be evidence of treason b/c the cartels are now considered terrorists?

I’d characterize it as lurid crime rather than treason, Melancholic — they’re not really trying to replace the government, just padding their bank accounts in illegal ways. Just as well, because treason is a lot harder to prove.
The Greeks and the French do love their protests. In France it’s always Communists/Antifa running amok; in Greece it’s Communists/Anarchists. Either way, the violent ones freely swim in the sea of mostly peaceful protesters. On alternate days the same violent protesters have been fussing about Israel genociding Hamas.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] … as Greece marks second anniversary of train crash seen as a symbol of institutional failure
Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets in cities across Greece to mark the second anniversary of a horror train collision that claimed the lives of 57 people.
Protests were planned in more than 300 cities and towns in Greece and abroad, with fury levied at the government for its perceived inaction over the tragedy, in which a passenger train filled with students collided with a freight train in central Greece.
A huge peaceful contingent made up of thousands of Greeks marched towards the parliament building in a moment of rare alignment across the political spectrum for Greeks incensed by the crash, deemed a symbol of institutional failure.
Children and adults alike walked solemnly in remembrance of the victims. Demonstrations were overshadowed by a small minority of rioters, who clashed with police in the capital. Greeks marching today said the rioters were 'not accepted' by the majority.
Riot police fired volleys of tear gas and stun grenades into crowds in Athens as some protestors smashed paving stones and hurled Molotov cocktails into open areas. More than 5,000 officers are being deployed to the capital to manage potential unrest.
The ambulance service said five people were taken to hospital, including a photographer hit in the head by one of the grenades.
Protests and a general strike were led by relatives of the 57 victims, who also urged focus on remembrance rather than politics. Large processions moved respectfully through Athens and Thessaloniki in what one called 'the most important day in our recent history by far'.
Critics of the government say that politicians must be held accountable for the failures that led up to the crash in Tempe. So far only rail officials have been charged with any crimes.
'The full truth must come to light, and those responsible, no matter how high their position, must be held accountable,' said Yannis Panagopoulos, president of the General Confederation of Greek Workers, the country's largest labor union, which has backed Friday's strike.
Transport employees added pressure on the conservative Mitsotakis government with a 24-hour train strike, a nationwide air traffic control strike, a ferry strike and a taxi strike.
Private businesses and public services have also been affected, with many stores in Athens closed, leaving messages of solidarity for the victims' families in front windows.
Protesters in Athens, chanting 'You count profits. We count lives,' carried black balloons in a solemn moment for a grieving country.
Greek diaspora told MailOnline today that a protest was also planned to take place in Paris this evening, starting at the Place de la République.
One said that they expected to join a peaceful silent protest, and that they were opposed the use of party political tactics.
'For me it's wrong to do anything like that,' the protestor, who wished to remain anonymous, told MailOnline.
'We are there to honor the people who died and to express our frustration with the justice system. Anything else is political and lesser.'
Greeks distanced themselves from the actions of a small minority of rioters, stressing hundreds of thousands - if not millions - had turned out to honour the dead and claim justice.
Athens municipal worker Costas Reintzopoulos said the rail crash had highlighted longstanding demands for safer working conditions.
Eleven of the people who died at the Tempe disaster were railway employees.
'Every day, there is a demand to know the truth about what happened, and every day there is demand to for better safety measures in the workplace. That is a key reason why this remains relevant,' he said.
'We don't want to mourn more dead people, who leave in the morning to go to work and we don't know if they'll come back.'
Memorial services will be held at Orthodox churches in Athens for the victims, who included many university students returning from a long weekend.
Their families have urged protesters to keep the focus on remembrance rather than politics.
'This day is one of remembrance, respect and reflection,' an association representing the families said in a statement.
'It is dedicated to those who were unjustly lost, to the grieving families, and to the pursuit of justice that remains unresolved.'
Yet the protests have created a politically precarious moment for Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' government.
His conservatives maintain a strong lead in the polls, but public dissatisfaction over the Tempe disaster has led to surging support for anti-establishment parties on both the left and right.
Opposition leaders, who are struggling to gain traction, are weighing whether to put forward a censure motion.
Mitsotakis promised to continue work to improve rail safety, adding: 'Every Greek participates in this mourning, united under the common demand for truth.'
Human error and systemic failures blamed for the Tempe crash.
One of the protestors hoping to take part in the planned demonstration in Paris this evening said: 'People will be on the streets to protest peacefully, demanding justice for the victims of the incident and accountability for the political figures that not only did not secure the railways with the funds they had from the European Commission already to do exactly that, but that also intervened with the crime scene only a few days after the fact with bulldozers and gravel compilation.'
Fury has been fuelled by allegations of the government's interference with the investigation.
Debris was removed from the scene after the crash, leading to the destruction of evidence.
A long-awaited report on the investigation into the Tempe crash, released Thursday, blamed human error, outdated infrastructure and major systemic failures for the head-on collision.
The aftermath was marked by scenes of chaos, with surviving passengers describing tumbling carriages, fires and smashed windows as they scrambled to escape.
It was followed by the gruesome task of victim recovery and identification as many bodies were severely burned or dismembered.
Funerals were held across numerous communities throughout Greece, many streamed or broadcast live, turning private grief into a shared national experience.
Hours after the collision, Maria Krystianou rushed to the scene of the tragedy to search for her missing daughter, 21-year-old Maria-Thomai, as the train cars still smoldered.
After a two-day wait, Maria-Thomai's death was finally confirmed with a DNA match.
Krystianou, a 52-year-old pediatrician, has since become a leading figure in the campaign to hold politicians to account for the crash.
This week she publicly thanked unions and associations that joined the protests, including doctors at public hospitals, and lawyers and judges who will hold a minute's silence in courts Friday.
[IsraelTimes] Two Afghan men linked to the Islamic State group have been jailed in Germany for planning an attack on the Swedish parliament in retaliation for Quran burnings by protesters.
The two suspects, identified as Ibrahim M. G. and Ramin N., allegedly tried but failed to buy guns for the plot.
They were found guilty of plotting to “kill members of parliament… in response to the burning of Qurans in Sweden,” the higher regional court in Thuringia says in a statement.
Ibrahim M. G., 30, was sentenced to five years and six months in jail, and Ramin N., 24, received a sentence of four years and two months.
The defendants, who arrived in Germany in 2015 and 2016, respectively, were Islamic State sympathizers who “shared the IS worldview and endorsed [its] violent approach,” the court says.
Before their arrest, both men lived in Gera in the eastern German state of Thuringia, were friends, and had become radicalized by online propaganda from the Islamic State group, dpa reported.
The men were arrested in March on their way back from the Czech Republic, where they had tried unsuccessfully to obtain firearms for the attack. According to the court, they had been under surveillance for some time.

BREAKING: Terror-supporting students and faculty at Columbia University are outside classrooms, vandalizing the windows and chanting "globalize the intifada."

[NYPost] President Trump’s administration should yank federal funding from Columbia University and Barnard College, advocates urged Thursday — arguing the elite Manhattan schools have not done enough to protect Jewish students, including during disruptive and at times violent mostly peaceful campus protests.
In addition to pulling funding, advocacy group StopAntisemitism called for the Justice Department to take action to curtail future campus disruptions, including by launching an investigation into the Students for Justice in Paleostine organization.
"The university administration has completely failed to protect Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, and staff, allowing a hostile and dangerous environment to fester unchecked," StopAntisemitism’s executive director, Liora Rez, wrote in a letter to Leo Terrell, who is helming the Trump admin’s new task force to combat antisemitism.
Columbia received some $1.3 billion in federal grants in 2024 alone, accounting for around 20% of its operating budget, according to the Columbia Daily Spectator, the Ivy League university’s student newspaper.
The letter also calls on the DOJ to revoke visas and deport foreign students engaged in violent mostly peaceful protests on campus, and hold school administrators accountable for allowing the "lawlessness" to continue.
The plea followed an SJP-organized protest at Barnard’s Milbank Hall Wednesday, in which a school security guard was assaulted, officials said. An unruly mob of anti-Israel protesters took over the college building hall to protest the expulsion of a pair of masked students who stormed a Columbia class on modern Israel in January and tossed around antisemitic leaflets.
"These are not the values of the great institution of Columbia,’ one student told The Post. "These are not American values."
By Thursday afternoon, the protests reignited, with around 100 anti-Israel demonstrators gathering in front of the entrance to Barnard, once again clad in masks and keffiyehs and chanting "free Paleostine" and "one solution, intifada revolution" while calling out the $66,000-per-year private college with slogans like "your hands are dirty" and "you support genocide."
A group of Jewish students stood nearby, displaying Israel flags as a counter-protest.
"I think it’s absolutely horrifying. They are chanting in Arabic, ’from water to water Paleostine will be Arab.’ They are not calling for peace and compassion and human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... . They are calling for violence," Joshua Shain, 21, a Columbia junior told The Post.
"These are not the values of the great institution of Columbia. These are not American values."
Shain said Columbia was handling the protests better than it did last year’s major unrest — but that more still needed to be done.
"We’re paying all this money in tuition, not to mention the federal and city taxes. The college and the city are supposed to make sure that everyone is safe. Where is that money going? They [protesters] put a man in the hospital for trying to keep order. What is being done?" he said.
"I don’t think any Jewish students are safe."
During Wednesday’s occupation, law enforcement sources said around 20 students pushed a 41-year-old campus security officer to the ground as they barged into the historic academic building. The victim was transported to nearby Mount Sinai Morningside hospital, complaining of chest pains.
The Transport Workers Union, which represents the injured officer, said he was "pinned" by the rushing crowd against a beam, and that one protester "lowered his shoulder and slammed into [him] like a linebacker."
"In the eyes of some of these trust-fund baby ideologues, harming the blue-collar TWU workforce at Barnard is seen as acceptable collateral damage in their quest to advance their political cause," TWU International President John Samuelsen said in the statement, calling for the culprits to be investigated and prosecuted.
Despite vowing to continue protesting until their demands were met — which included reinstating the expelled students and "amnesty" for those involved in last summer’s widespread campus protests — the mass of students left Milbank Hall just before 10:40 p.m. Wednesday.
"The masked protesters left Milbank Hall after receiving final written notice and being informed that Barnard would be forced to consider additional necessary measures to protect the campus if they did not leave on their own," Barnard College’s vice president for strategic communications Robin Levine said in a statement Thursday morning.
"No promises of amnesty were made, and no concessions were negotiated," Levine said of the resolution of the previous night’s fracas.
The crowd marched to nearby Riverside Park — before returning to the front gates of the school Thursday to continue their efforts.

The Israeli government and the military that defend it. They certainly aren't very good at this genocide stuff that is endlessly leveled at them. A solid year and half and yet Gazans' are everywhere to be seen. Anybody spouting that genocide shit should be punched in mouth immediately. (If not sooner.)

A few simple questions:
Given, this is clearly a Domestic Terrorist / Hate Crime that is promoting genocidal violence.
Where are the police?
Are the Liberal Democrats holding them back? Because this is no longer a verbal protest. This is clear destructive violence.
Where is the Columbia U Board?
It should have already halted this.
I guess it needs to be sued, and/or criminally charged for Felony Aiding and Abetting?
Where are the usual run to the cameras, Liberal Democrats? the 1's we always see demanding action against such Hate Speech and race related violence?
A Canadian trantifa activist was released from custody after he allegedly launched a brutal knife attack on his children. On social media, he posted about the need to arm trans people with weapons so that they have "self defense" against society. Read: https://t.co/VOWE9OqcC5
A transgender Canadian man accused of stabbing his children has been released from custody pending trial. Alice Michael Joseph Attwood, 35, of Alberta, was arrested on February 19 for allegedly attacking his two children with a sharp knife, slashing the esophagus of his 8-year-old daughter, and injuring his 7-year-old son. The two kids survived the attack and his young daughter remains recovering in the hospital needing a feeding tube, according to reports.
Attwood's family petitioned the Court asking him to be involuntarily held in a psychiatric facility after a Grande Prairie judge ordered his release during the initial arraignment. The family's request was granted; however, records show that Attwood was released from the ward on February 25. His family is now concerned for the safety of his children and the public. Attwood is scheduled to re-appear before a judge on March 13.
Reddux reported that Attwood, who uses they/them pronouns, has been posting about the attack on social media sites, including an admission of guilt.
"For obvious reasons I'm going to sit and stay silent on the locally viral rumors going around. I understand people's upset (trust it's not as high as my own) and I'm going to answer for what I did. When I can see the picture more clearly then I will be here to hold myself accountable as well," Attwood wrote in a Facebook post which has been set as private. "It's just...not the right time for that. I need to focus on my mental health and finding the WHY to this happening...which means not being online."
He continued, "I am very apologetic and hurt though. Trust that. This was nowhere near my 2025 bingo card."
Attwood issued the post while he was admitted to the psychiatric hospital. He wrote in the comments underneath the post, "And yes, I stabbed my daughter in the shoulder, and scraped my sons arm. The cause, and they why are the slander I am mentioning here. I definitely had some sort of mental break...that's why I'm in psych."
Authorities have charged Attwood with aggravated assault. He is a former paramedic and previously discussed the need to arm transgender people with weapons, according to social media posts.

[IsraelTimes] Attacker identified as Jamil Zayoud, a 53-year-old Palestinian from the Jenin area of the West Bank who had been living illegally in Israel with his Arab Israeli wife
A Paleostinian man steered his car into a crowd of people waiting at a bus stop in northern Israel on Thursday in a terror spree that left 13 people injured, including a teen hospitalized at death's door, authorities said.
The suspect, identified as a Paleostinian from the Jenin area of the West Bank who was living in Israel illegally with his Arab Israeli wife, was shot and killed while attempting to stab coppers after fleeing the scene of the initial attack, police chief Daniel Levy said.
Police said the attack at Karkur Junction outside the city of Pardes Hanna was being investigated as a terror attack. It came a week after a series of bus explosions near Tel Aviv that Israeli officials attributed to Death Eaters based in the West Bank.
Medical officials said a 17-year-old girl was fighting for her life following the attack after being brought to Hillel Yaffe Hospital in nearby Hadera at death's door.
The Magen David Adom rescue service said the teen was sedated and hooked up to a ventilator, having sustained serious damage to her head and limbs.
A 60-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman were at death's door, also with head injuries, medics said. An 18-year-old woman was moderately injured, while six others sustained light injuries, MDA added.
Police told Channel 12 news that the suspect’s car accelerated before hitting a group of people waiting at the bus stop.
Grainy videos of the attack showed a sedan swerving suddenly into a bus stop on the side of the road at full speed before swerving back onto the divided highway and continuing.
At least six people could be seen lying immobile on a grassy embankment next to the bus stop in separate footage from the immediate aftermath of the attack.
"From there, he tried to continue onward with the car. He accelerated toward a nearby police car and hit it. The officers chased him, caught him and neutralized him," a police spokesperson said.
Police chief Levy told news hounds that the attacker crashed into a patrol vehicle, got out of his car with a screwdriver and tried to stab coppers, who then shot and killed him.
Arabic-language media named the attacker as Jamil Zayoud, 53. Originally from the Jenin area, he had been living illegally in Ma’ale Iron with his Arab Israeli wife, according to reports.
The Haaretz daily reported that Zayoud was indicted in 2021 for driving without a license.
There was no claim of responsibility for the attack, but it drew praise from the Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... terror group.
Thursday’s attack came a week after three empty buses went kaboom! in quick succession in parking lots in the Tel Aviv suburbs of Bat Yam and Holon, followed by the discovery of two more unwent kaboom! devices on additional buses, in what appeared to be a botched attack. No casualties were reported as a result of the earth-shattering kabooms.

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... in exchange for payment, police and Shin Bet spokespeople announced in a joint statement on Thursday.
Prosecutors indicted Petah Tikva resident Daniel Kitov on Thursday morning in the Lod District Court on the charge of contact with a foreign agent.
Security forces arrested the 26-year-old earlier this month for allegedly spray-painting incendiary graffiti messages in Petah Tikva and Rosh Ha’ayin at the behest of his two Iranian handlers.
Kitov carried out these acts of vandalism for money, said police. Ynet reported that the Israeli citizen received $7,000 for the graffiti.
One of the messages, painted alongside Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... ’s inverted red triangle symbol, invoked "the conquerors of Khaybar," in reference to the 7th century Moslem siege against Jewish tribes in Khaybar during Islam’s nascent years.
Another read: "Children of Ruhollah" — alluding to Iran’s first supreme leader, Ruhollah Khomeini.
The agents also urged the suspect to photograph military bases and the home of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, however, he never acted on these suggestions, police said. Kitov offered to photograph the home of MK Benny Gantz, but did not follow up on the plan.
The Iranian agents Kitov made contact with took the aliases "Mike" and "Roni Bar" on their chats, the latter referring to the security service head, per Ynet’s report.
Police noted in their statement that Iranian agents have ramped up their efforts on social media platforms to recruit ordinary Israeli citizens as spies, promising them money to carry out such missions.
In most of these cases, the suspects began by carrying out small, innocuous tasks, which gradually grew into more serious offenses, like intelligence gathering and liquidation plots.
[GEO.TV] Israel's Prison Service said on Thursday that it had released 643 Paleostinian prisoners in the latest exchange under 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... truce after Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... returned the bodies of four captives to Israel.
The Israel Prison Service concluded the seventh prisoners release in accordance with the agreement for the return of the hostages, it said in a statement, adding that 643 inmates were transferred from several prisons across the country and later released.
