The situation remains fluid, with heavy gunfire still echoing across the capital as Al-Shabaab militants continue their coordinated assault. Eyewitnesses describe scenes of chaos, ambulances racing through the streets, and government forces struggling to regroup.
The failed #Mogadishu administration is now frantically appealing for support from African Union peacekeepers as it faces one of the most devastating attacks on its own security infrastructure in recent years.
This marks yet another humiliation for a regime that has long claimed victory over terrorism while relying heavily on foreign troops to survive.

Somali authorities have yet to issue an official statement on the incident, sparking speculation over the scale of the damage and the number of inmates still on the lam.
The attack marks yet another blow to the government's claims of improved security in the capital, highlighting the persistent instability that continues to plague Mogadishu despite heavy international funding and counterterrorism support.

BREAKING NEWS: Somali Intelligence Headquarters Under Complex Attack in Mogadishu
Reports from Mogadishu indicate that multiple explosions occurred inside Godka Jilicoow, a high-security facility responsible for overseeing security operations in the capital and the Shabelle regions.
The compound, which is located near the Somali Presidential Palace, reportedly came under attack by assailants who used vehicles bearing government security markings to gain access.
Security sources confirm that Al-Shabaab militants are engaged in fierce clashes inside parts of the facility, while government forces are making efforts to contain the situation and eliminate the attackers.

Breaking News: Al-Shabaab has launched a significant assault on the highly secure Godka Jiluvow prison in Mogadishu, Somalia, a facility operated by the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA). This notorious prison is known for housing and integrating individuals suspected of terrorism and high-profile criminals.
This attack marks the fourth major offensive carried out by Al-Shabaab, following specific calls to action from Al-Qaida leader, Hamza Bin Laden, who has urged them to escalate their operations. The breach raises serious concerns about security measures in place at one of the nation’s most fortified facilities, highlighting the ongoing challenges in combating militant activities in the region.

[GEO.TV] London police arrested six people who displayed support for a banned pro-Palestinian group and carried away protesters who gathered for a demonstration, despite requests to call it off after a deadly attack at a synagogue in Manchester.
Organisers refused requests by the police and government to call off the demonstration, which had been announced before the attack, to protest against the banning of pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws.

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. 175 people were detained at a rally in support of Palestine in London.
[Regnum] London police detained 175 people during a rally in support of the pro-Palestinian organization Palestine Action. This was reported by the city police on October 4.
"The police operation in Trafalgar Square continues. As of 3:45 PM, officers have made 175 arrests in connection with support for a banned organization," X noted in a social media post.
The protest was organized by the group Defend Our Juries, which has been campaigning against the ban on Palestine Action since August. The protests are intended to provoke mass disobedience and lead to the arrest of demonstrators.
Police had previously called on the organizers to cancel the rally due to a lack of resources following the tightened security following the attack on a Manchester synagogue, but the activists refused. UK authorities designated Palestine Action a terrorist organization in July. Membership or support of the movement became a criminal offense, punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
But only because they caused £7million damage when they vandalized two Royal Air Force planes in July. Their Jew-hating riots in support of listed terror organization Hamas were perfectly acceptable to the British government.
London police arrested over 440 protesters for supporting a banned pro-Palestinian group at a demonstration on Saturday, which went ahead despite requests to call it off after a deadly terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester during Yom Kippur.
Congregation members Melvin Cravitz, 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53, were killed in the attack — the latter accidentally shot by an armed officer — in the northwestern English city on Thursday. Three other men are hospitalized with serious injuries.
Police shot dead the terrorist, a British man of Syrian descent who counter-terrorism police said may have been inspired by extremist Islamist ideology. The attacker was on bail over an alleged rape but had not been charged.
Organizers refused requests by the police and government to call off Saturday’s demonstration, which had been announced before the attack, to protest against the banning of the pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws.
Police said they had made 442 arrests at London’s Trafalgar Square after several hours — around half the number arrested at a similar protest in September.
Calling for calm on X on Saturday morning, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: “I urge anyone thinking about protesting this weekend to recognize and respect the grief of British Jews.”
“This is a moment of mourning. It is not a time to stoke tension and cause further pain. It is a time to stand together,” he said.
Police arrested protesters in Trafalgar Square in central London as they wrote slogans on placards declaring support for Palestine Action, which was proscribed in July after members broke into an airbase and damaged military planes.
Hundreds gathered for the protest, applauding and cheering those arrested as they were carried through the crowd by police without resisting. Onlookers chanted “shame on you” at officers.
“I’m disgusted by the police actually, they shouldn’t be arresting non-violent protesters here,” said protester Angie Zelter. “We have a right to protest and Palestine Action is not a violent organization, should never have been proscribed in the first place.”
Six people were arrested separately after unfurling a Palestine Action banner on Westminster Bridge outside parliament.
The demonstration was the latest in a series of protests, during which hundreds have been arrested for defying the ban, which makes it an offense to show support for Palestine Action.
A smaller demonstration organized by Greater Manchester Friends of Palestine attracted about 100 people in the city.
There were no reports of arrests.
Ahead of the protest, Greater Manchester’s police chief Sir Stephen Watson urged those planning on attending to reconsider, questioning if “this is really the right time,” given the terror attack days earlier, according to the UK’s ITV News.
“You could do the responsible and sensitive thing and refrain, on this occasion, from protesting in a manner which is likely to add to the trauma currently being experienced by our Jewish community,” he suggested.
Police said Saturday’s protests would draw resources away from security they have tightened around synagogues and mosques following Thursday’s attack.
Defend Our Juries, which organized Saturday’s protest, has condemned the attack on the Jewish community in Manchester but rejected pleas to call off the demonstration.
A spokesperson said the group “stood in solidarity” with the Jewish community over the attack, adding that “cancelling peaceful protests lets terror win.”
Six people arrested on suspicion of terror-linked offenses over the attack remained in police custody on Saturday.
[IsraelTimes] Protests also called in Madrid, Lisbon and Dublin to demonstrate against Israel’s interception of Gaza-bound flotilla, day after 2 million join general strike in Italy against war
Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators marched in Barcelona, Rome and other cities on Saturday as anti-Israel rallies were held across Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... to protest the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Protests in Spain’s second-largest city as well as in Madrid were called weeks ago, while calls for demonstrations in Rome and Lisbon followed widespread anger after Israel intercepted and detained over 470 activists on the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotillas, which sought to break Israel’s naval blockade on the Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... -controlled Strip.
Israel and Egypt maintain the blockade to prevent arms and materials for weapons manufacturing from reaching Hamas. The flotilla carried what activists said were symbolic quantities of aid for Gaza, which they refused to bring to port in Israel for onward transport by land into Gaza.
Over 40 Spaniards, including a former Barcelona mayor, were among the activists Israel removed from the 42 Sumud boats it intercepted on Thursday and Friday.
Italia already saw more than 2 million people rally on Friday across the country in a one-day general strike to support the residents of Gaza.
Spain has seen an upsurge of support for Paleostinians and hostility to Israel amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with its left-wing government intensifying diplomatic efforts against Jerusalem. Protests against the presence of an Israeli-owned cycling team repeatedly disrupted the Spanish Vuelta last month, while Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called the destruction in Gaza a "genocide" and asked for the ban of all Israeli teams from international sporting events.
Israel firmly rejects allegations that it is carrying out genocide in Gaza. It has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities in its war against Hamas, sparked by the terror group’s massacre in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas, including homes, hospitals, schools and mosques.
Barcelona’s town hall said police estimated that 70,000 turned out for Saturday’s demonstration.
People packed Barcelona’s wide Passeig de Gracia, the city’s main central boulevard. Many families turned out, along with people of all ages. Protesters carried Paleostinian flags or wore pro-Paleostinian t-shirts. Hand-held signs bore messages like "Gaza hurts me," "Stop the Genocide," and "Hands off the flotilla."
While the protests are expected to have little sway on the course of the war, demonstrators hope they could inspire other rallies and encourage European leaders to take a harder line against Israel.
A protest in Rome was also underway, organized by three Paleostinian organizations along with local unions and students. People holding banners and Paleostinian flags, chanting "Free Paleostine" and other slogans, filed past the Colosseum, taking part in a march that organizers claimed attracted hundreds of thousands of people.
On Friday, Italian unions called a general strike in support of the flotilla, with anti-Israel demonstrations across the country that attracted more than 2 million, according to organizers. The interior ministry estimated attendance at around 400,000.
Italia’s right-wing government has been critical of the protests, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni suggesting that people would skip work for Gaza just as an excuse for a longer weekend break.
Meloni blamed protesters for the insulting graffiti that appeared on a statue of the late Pope John Paul II outside Rome’s main train station, where pro-Paleostinian groups have been holding a protest picket.
"They say they are taking to the streets for peace, but then they insult the memory of a man who was a true defender and builder of peace. A shameful act committed by people blinded by ideology," she said in a statement.
Protests in Madrid and Lisbon were held later Saturday. There were also protests called across many other Spanish cities.
A protest was also being staged in Athens Saturday afternoon, although police believe a bigger one will take place Sunday, to coincide with a pro-Israeli one.
Elsewhere, several thousand people marched through the center of the Irish capital, Dublin, to mark what organizers said was "two years of genocide" in Gaza.
Additionally, a demonstration against Israel was held in Argentina ...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita... ’s capital of Buenos Aires.
[BBC] President Donald Trump ...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party... has authorised the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... to address what he says is out-of-control crime.
The move came hours after immigration authorities said they faced off with protesters in the Democrat-run city. Officials said an "armed woman" was shot after claiming she and others rammed their cars into law enforcement vehicles.
State and local leaders have for weeks criticised Trump's deployment plans and called it an abuse of power. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said Trump was "attempting to manufacture a crisis".
The announcement came as a federal judge in Portland, Oregon temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying 200 troops there.
Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement: "Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon."
"Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen," she added.
Judge Karin Immergut called Trump's statements about conditions in Portland "untethered to the facts," and said the move violated the Constitution.
She said the use of the military to quell unrest without the state of Oregon consenting risked the illusory sovereignty of that state and others, adding that it also inflamed tensions in the city and caused increased protests.

...adding that it also inflamed tensions in the city and caused increased protests.
We can't call it an insurrection, can we 'Judge'? (scare quotes intentional)
[FoxNews] Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced additional special operations personnel will be deployed to Illinois after federal agents were rammed and boxed in by 10 cars Saturday near Broadview, where anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crowds have been gathering for days and nearly a dozen people have been arrested.
One of the drivers accused of ramming into the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon, according to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. She said officers, who were unable to move, "were forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed U.S. citizen."
The armed woman, a U.S. citizen identified as Marimar Martinez, was named in a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intelligence bulletin, DHS wrote in a statement. She allegedly doxxed agents and posted online, "Hey to all my gang let’s f--- those motherf------ up, don’t let them take anyone."
Mclaughlin said no law enforcement officers were seriously injured during the incident, adding that the woman involved drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.
The driver of another vehicle, identified by the DHS as Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, was allegedly involved in the ramming and has been apprehended by law enforcement.
Andrew Boutros, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, said in a statement Saturday his office has already filed charges against more than 12 people "during this surge," and is continuing to review cases for additional criminal charges.”
The group of agents were conducting their routine patrol near 39th Place and South Kedzie Avenue in the city's South Side ''when they were attacked and rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars,'' the Department of Homeland Security said.
''The officers exited their trapped vehicle, when a suspect tried to run them over, forcing the officers to fire defensively,'' according to DHS, which called the incident ''an evolving situation'' and noted FBI agents were currently on the scene.
The suspect, who is a U.S. citizen, was armed with a semi-automatic weapon, department spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said.
The gun-toting woman was already known to the federal agency for allegedly publicly identifying agents and encouraging people to attack them, according to McLaughlin.

Being 'boxed in by cars' is the classic prelude to a hit(attack) or kidnap attempt. This likely a probe or trial by someone that watches too many action movies ...this will not end well.
[GEO.TV] Indian forces have killed and injured several goats near Zero Point, land border crossing, in Tharparkar district of Sindh, in what livestock owners denounced as a "brutal act of aggression" that even targeted innocent animals.
According to the owners, the incident occurred last evening in the village of Sunrani in Dehly tehsil. They said that in such situations, livestock are usually returned, but this time the animals were brutally attacked.
At least five goats were killed while the legs of 15 others were broken, the owners said, adding that the injured goats' legs had been cut with a sharp tool.

[GEO.TV] Security forces bumped off 14 turbans linked to Indian proxy Fitna al-Hindustan during an operation in the Zehri area of Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... 's Khuzdar, security sources said on Saturday.
They added that the operation was carried out on the reported presence of turbans belonging to the Indian proxy, Fitna al-Hindustan, resulting in the killing of at least 14 terrorists, while 20 turbans were also injured.
Residents of Khuzdar's Zehri area praised the operation, acknowledging the efforts of the security forces in restoring peace and stability to the region, they said.
Sources added that the security forces remain fully committed to eliminating the remaining turbans of the Fitna al-Hindustan.
The Zehri operation comes days after security forces killed seven India-sponsored turbans in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) conducted in the Sherani district of Balochistan.
According to the ISPR, the security forces conducted an IBO on the reported presence of turbans belonging to the Indian proxy, Fitna al Khwarij or the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban ...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan... Pakistain (TTP).
''During the operation, own troops effectively engaged the terrorists' location, and after an intense fire exchange, seven Indian-sponsored turbans were sent to hell,'' the ISPR added.

Conclusion: Fitna-al-Hindustan is the Baloch Liberation Army and similar Baloch liberation groups, Fitna al-Khawarij is the TTP and linked groups.
The Zehri, Balochistan operation concluded successfully, eliminating 14 BRAS linked Fitna-al-Hindustan terrorists and injuring 20.
Security forces, backed by public support, are poised to eradicate Fitna al-Hindustan terrorists. Zehri residents praised the forces' success
The government has decided that all terrorist groups and organizations operating in Balochistan will be referred to as "Fitna-al-Hindustan".
According to the notification issued by the Ministry of Interior, the decision has been taken in view of the involvement of some organizations and groups in terrorist activities in Balochistan, at the behest of India (Hindustan), which is detrimental to Islamic faith and sovereignty of Pakistan and customary traditions.
The notification further said that the change is aimed at reflecting the true nature and ideology of these terrorist organizations and groups and nefarious designs of India (Hindustan) against the people of Pakistan.
There are two dictions extensively used by the government of Pakistan representing different kinds of terrorists, and they are Fitna al-Hindustan and Fitna al-Khawarij
Segregating terrorists into different group names has been a practice in the past, also, mostly during the Ottoman Empire, but that was not for terrorists, rather for resistance groups and all such groups generally understood as “terrorists”. Since the 20th century the terrorist groups have often been categorized by their primary ideological, political, or religious motivations. Examples include groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS, the TTP, Taliban, and various ethno-nationalist or religious extremist groups. Separating them into these groups helps in understanding their aims and motivations, as well as potentially tailoring counter-terrorism strategies.
WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THEM?
Fitna al-Hindustan and Fitna al-Khawarij are terror outfits engaging the Pakistan Armed Forces and Law enforcement agencies
Both operate mostly from Afghanistan
Both are funded, operated, and trained by the Indian Army and Indian intelligence agencies
Both have of same goal, which is destabilizing Pakistan economically and socially
Both use kinetic as well as media warfare against Pakistan
Both have NATO grade weapons, including night vision equipment, to target the Pakistani Army
Both operate mostly on the western borders of Pakistan (Pak-Iran and Pak-Afghan)
Both get financial support also from smuggling networks to keep the western border soft and to keep law enforcement agencies, as well as the Pakistan Army, engaged to run them out, leaving a space for smugglers to bleed Pakistan economically
Both have covert and overt support from certain political setups of Pakistan, which are themselves involved in smuggling through Afghan trade routes
Both are equipped with the latest communication networking, such as satellite telephones, high-powered, high-frequency wireless systems, human intelligence, and mobility information of Pakistani forces
Fitna al-Hindustan and Fitna al-Khawarij both target children, women, and senior citizens while claiming that their prime targets are men in uniform
Both attack soft targets such as schools, graveyards, mosques, funeral processions, bus stands, railway platforms, urban and rural marketplaces, and even hospitals and dispensaries
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FITNA AL-HINDUSTAN AND FITNA AL-KHAWARIJ?
Fitna al-Hindustan (BLA and other brand names of separatist wings) has a long history linked with the 1970s when they were launched in Pakistan after successful Operation Jackpot to annul erstwhile East Pakistan from West Pakistan. This project was launched by the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Since then, this project the then code-named Operation Surprise (to make Balochistan and the then N.W.F.P a separate state).
Fitna al-Khawarij was probably launched in 2006 with a brand name of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) with the foot soldier support from Afghan Taliban and funded by the Indian intelligence agency RAW
Fitna al-Khawarij uses religious faultline (sectarianism) with a posture of puritan Islamists
Fitna al-Khawarij wear and use religious symbols such as Taqiyah (a short, rounded skullcap worn by Muslim men), wearing knee-up shalwars (a type of loose-fitting pants), and other Islamic symbols such as Kalma on their flag.
Fitna al-Khawarij uses indoctrinating religious symbols, ideas, dictions, narratives, and phrases. Although they are also Fitna al-Hindustan but the state segregates them under the phrase of Fitna al-Khawarij
Fitna al-Hindustan wear globally known resistance outfits such as fatigues, khakis, long military boots, and contemporary head-covers (hats)
Fitna al-Hindustan does indoctrination based on a national approach (resource use, language, concept of independent state, ethnic differences as fault lines, etc)
They justify their violence as a national resistance movement, while Fitna al-Khawarij calls their acts Jihad.
Balochistan Bunyad Parast Army, Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), Balochistan Liberation United Front (BLUF), Balochistan Musalla Defah Tanzeem (BMDT), Balochistan National Liberation Army, Balochistan Raaji Ajoi-R-Sangar (BRAS), Balochistan Republican Army (BRA), Baloch Republican Party Azad, and many more ethnic groups have almost similar ideology and the same funding sources.
CONCLUSION
All terror groups have the same line of action, goals, targets, training, and funding sources, but operate with different brand names to cater to the maximum clients and outreach.
The Pakistan Government has credible documents to justify that all terror groups are funded directly by the Indian Army as well as by Indian Intelligence agencies.
India, since the late 60s, has been involved in cross-border terrorism against Pakistan (Mukhti Bhabhi Operations and trainings) and Baloch separatist movements since 1971

[IsraelTimes] A woman was lightly injured in a suspected car-ramming attack at a West Bank checkpoint near Jerusalem on Saturday, police and medics said.
The suspected assailant accelerated his vehicle into the Bidu Checkpoint, near the Palestinian town of the same name, and hit another vehicle, according to police.
In the vehicle that was hit, a 49-year-old woman was lightly injured, Magen David Adom said.
The suspect then got out of his vehicle and attempted to flee toward Bidu. Border Police officers stationed at the checkpoint chased after him and fired shots in the air, before detaining him, police said.
Police published a video showing the officers detaining the suspect.

[IsraelTimes] Tens of thousands gathered in Tel Aviv Saturday night to rally for a ceasefire-hostage deal, as the US-led proposal to end 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... war appeared to be moving forward.
"It’s now or never," said a huge placard held above the crowd, with US President Donald Trump ...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party... himself echoing the message and posting images of the banner.
After Trump told Israel on Friday to stop bombing Gaza in a Truth Social post accepting Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... ’s response to the proposal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to halt offensive operations in Gaza and decided to send a negotiation team to Cairo for final talks on the deal’s details.
Before Saturday’s protests, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum called on the entire Israeli public to put on a mass display of solidarity, saying Israel faces "decisive days for a deal."
"This is the hour when all of Israel must stand together and demand loudly: do everything possible to bring our brothers and sisters home," said the forum.
The forum also released a statement declaring it "stands firmly with President Trump in his commitment to bring home all the hostages and end the war."
Outside the IDF headquarters’ Begin Road entrance, a block away from Hostages Square, anti-government protesters chanted: "There’s a deal on the table, it’s been there the whole time."
Rula Daoud, co-chair of Israeli-Paleostinian socialist group Standing Together, also addressed the Begin Road protest: "We, the Arab Paleostinian citizens of Israel, join the demand to end the war, not just because we have no faith in the government, but because this is an unjust war being waged on our own people."
"The struggle for humanitarian aid to Gaza is not just the struggle of Arab citizens, and the struggle to return the hostages is not just the struggle of the Jewish citizens," she added.
A smaller, left-wing protest took place on the Begin-Shaul HaMelech intersection, between the two other demonstrations, with activists, many of them from Standing Together, silently holding signs accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, a charge Jerusalem strongly denies.
Across the street from them on Begin, a handful of right-wing activists taunted the left-wing protesters, accusing them of being elitists who have made the hostages’ release less probable while ignoring soldiers who were killed in Gaza.
"Trump and [Netanyahu], the kings, are going to bring back the hostages and then what will you complain about? Cilantro?" asked a megaphone-wielding right-wing activist.
[IsraelTimes] A ballistic missile launched 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 ...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... at Israel early Sunday morning was intercepted by air defenses, the military said.
The missile set off sirens in central Israel, some southern West Bank settlements, and communities near the Dead Sea at around 5 a.m., sending hundreds of thousands of Israelis rushing to bomb shelters.
The Israel Defense Forces shortly after announced that the missile had been downed. There were no reports of damage or injuries in the attack.
The Houthis did not immediately claim responsibility, although generally, the Iran-backed terror group waits several hours and sometimes days before issuing statements after its attacks.
The Houthis — whose slogan calls for "Death to America, Death to Israel, [and] a Curse on the Jews" — began attacking Israel and maritime traffic in the Red Sea in November 2023, a month after the October 7 Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... massacre.
Since then, the group has fired over 130 missiles and more than 150 explosive-laden drones at Israel, causing death, injury, damage, and regularly sending hundreds of thousands of Israelis scrambling to shelters at all hours of the day or night. Israel has repeatedly bombed Houthi targets in response.
[GEO.TV] Israel said its troops were still operating in Gaza and warned residents not to return, despite calls from the families of Israeli hostages and US President Donald Trump for an immediate halt to the fighting.
Trump issued the appeal to the key US ally after Palestinian resistance group Hamas said it was ready to release all hostages and start talks on the details of his plan to end the nearly two-year war.
"The movement announces its approval for the release of all hostages — living and remains— according to the exchange formula included in President Trump's proposal," Hamas said in a Friday statement.
The attacks and killings continue after President Trump told Israel to stop bombing Gaza following Hamas's partial acceptance of Trump's 20-point plan to end Israel's war on Gaza.
Auto-translated from Hebrew by Grok
The IDF has completed in recent hours the capture of the Netzarim axis up to the Gaza coast, effectively dividing Gaza between north and south.
This tightens the encirclement around Gaza City, and anyone leaving it southward will be required to pass through the IDF's inspection checkpoints.
This is the last opportunity for Gaza residents who wish to do so to move south and leave Hamas terrorists isolated in Gaza City itself, facing the IDF's ongoing operations at full force.
Those who remain in Gaza will be considered terrorists and terror supporters.
The IDF is prepared for all possibilities and is determined to continue its operations—until all hostages are returned and Hamas is disarmed, on the path to ending the war. They've had more than enough time to evacuate. All that remains are Hamas and Hamas voters. Gee, I guess electing a genocidal entisemitic government was a really bad idea, huh guys?
Of course. That's why the Palestinians of Gaza did so, and why the Palestinians of the West Bank would dearly love to follow, if only PA President Mahmoud Abbas would actually hold that long overdue election.

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... City were reported to have"significantly subsided" on Saturday, after the Israel Defense Forces was ordered to halt offensive operations there and move to purely defensive action amid a push by US President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... to bring about an end to the war.
Some residents of the city, spurred on by the news of developments in Trump’s push to end the war and the reduced military operations, took the opportunity to return to their homes on Saturday afternoon and survey the damage, ignoring the army’s warnings to avoid the "dangerous war zone."
Still, as promised, the military continued to carry out strikes against targets it deemed to pose a threat, including in Gaza City’s Tuffah neighborhood, in which at least 18 Paleostinians were reported killed, including children.
The IDF said the strike targeted a Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... operative who "posed a threat to troops operating in the area," and that the area had been under an evacuation warning for weeks.
The military said it took "many steps" to mitigate civilian harm, including by using precision munitions, aerial surveillance and additional intelligence information, and that it was further investigating reports of civilian casualties.
"The IDF regrets any harm to uninvolved civilians and acts to minimize such harm as much as possible," it said.
The IDF was ordered to halt its offensive to capture Gaza City after Trump said his Gaza plan had been accepted by Hamas and called on Israel to stop bombing the Strip.
Nevertheless, the military said it was still engaged in defensive operations and warned Paleostinians not to try and return to the besieged city, which it said remained a "dangerous war zone."
In accordance with the order, troops encircling Gaza City were set to remain there, neither advancing further nor withdrawing.
To ensure the troops’ safety, the IDF dispatched additional Air Force drones to monitor the area.
Confirming as much, two Gaza City residents, meanwhile, told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named that Israeli tanks and troops had not advanced since Saturday morning, but that artillery shells and Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s were still heard.
"We can still see the quadcopters everywhere," Mohammed al-Nashar said.
Shifa Hospital director Mohammed Abu Selmiyah confirmed to the AP that bombing had "significantly subsided" over the past day.
Despite the IDF’s warnings, Gazook media outlets reported on Saturday evening that a small number of residents had risked returning to their homes in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.
Reports suggested that anywhere between dozens to a few hundred people returned, although it wasn’t clear if all of them intended to stay, or if they had braved a trip to visit their homes and assess the damage.
The families returning to their homes on Saturday had not left the city and had merely moved further west. Anyone who heeded the IDF’s repeated calls to leave could not yet return, as the military continued to block movement from the south northward.
Roughly a million people, or around half of Gaza’s total population, had been residing in Gaza City until the IDF ordered them to leave ahead of its ground operation there. Since then, the IDF estimates that around 870,000 Paleostinians have fled the city.
Meanwhile,
...back at the wrecked scow, a single surviver held tightly to the smashed prow... in southern Gaza, the Khan Younis municipality began clearing rubble from airstrikes on Saturday morning and reopening streets "to allow easier passage for the displaced," according to a municipal statement.
ANXIETY AND HOPE ON THE STREETS OF GAZA
As in the north, it was not all quiet in southern Gaza on Saturday, as the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy Society said its Saraya field hospital, in the enclave’s south, had received 10 bodies and over 70 injured after Israeli strikes in the afternoon.
Artillery shelling was also carried out in an area north of Bureij in central Gaza, Paleostinian media reported.
For Paleostinians on the ground, there was little clarity as to what Trump’s plan for the enclave meant in real terms, even as Israel and Hamas hurried to put together delegations to negotiate the proposal’s finer details.
"We want practical implementation. We want a truce on the ground," said Sameer Qudeeh in Khan Younis, expressing worry that the talks would break down again.
"I hope Hamas ends the war, because we are truly tired," said Mohammad Shaat in Khan Younis, as anxious Paleostinians roamed the shattered streets.
In total, the Hamas-linked Civil Defense agency said on Saturday night that Israeli bombardment had killed at least 57 people since dawn, even after a halt in defensive operations.
Mahmud Bassal, front man for the agency, told AFP that 40 were killed in Gaza City alone.
The figures could not be independently verified and do not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
More than 67,000 Paleostinians have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war, the Strip’s Hamas-run health ministry announced on Saturday, adding that the figure had jumped above 67,000 after more than 700 names were added to the list of the dead after the relevant data was verified.
The Hamas health ministry also says that two more people died of malnutrition and starvation in the enclave, raising the reported number of deaths from such causes to 459 people, including 154 children, since the war started.
Israel has disputed claims of widespread famine in Gaza, but has previously admitted "there are issues of access to food" in some areas.
The ministry’s tally of 67,074 killed since October 7, 2023, does not differentiate between civilians and combatants, and cannot be independently verified.
HAMAS TUNNELS FOUND UNDER GAZA CITY HOSPITALS
Separately, the IDF said on Saturday that it had uncovered a Hamas tunnel running underneath a hospital in Gaza City and an entrance to another adjacent to a separate medical center.
The first tunnel was located next to the Jordanian Hospital, in the south of Gaza City.
According to the IDF, troops of the 36th Division, including forces of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, found an entrance to the tunnel at a Hamas compound adjacent to the Jordanian Hospital.
The tunnel spans a kilometer and a half, and includes a weapons manufacturing workshop and other rooms, the military said.
The IDF said that according to its intelligence, Hamas company and platoon commanders had resided in the tunnel, but that "Hamas’s activity near the Jordanian hospital was carried out without the involvement or knowledge of the Jordanians."
The military escorted international journalists to see the location of the tunnel on Friday, in a rare — and limited — visit to the enclave that has been all but closed to press, both Israeli and international, since the war began 729 days ago.
Soldiers took the journalists to a lookout point in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood, several hundred meters away from the deserted Jordanian hospital.
What appeared to be a tube extended from one of its buildings into a mound of dirt in front of it, which soldiers said was where the tunnel was located. A few hundred feet away, excavators moved piles of sand, as the sound of gunfire and artillery reverberated in the background.
Surrounded by destruction and collapsed buildings, the hospital shut down about two weeks ago, after announcing that it would be moving operations out of Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa and setting up in Khan Younis instead.
Paleostinian media then reported on September 23 that IDF troops had raided the site and begun "digging operations" in the area.
Of Gaza’s 36 hospitals, 22 are no longer operational and the remaining 14 are only partially functional, according to the World Health Organization.
A soldier showed journalists videos taken from a drone that flew through the 1.5 kilometer (1-mile) long tunnel. The video showed narrow tunnels that led to rooms, one of which showed explosives lined against the wall.
A Jordanian official speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered... due to the sensitivity of the matter denied that its hospital was being used by Hamas.
The second tunnel was found at the Hamad Hospital near the sea in northwest Gaza City. The army said that the tunnel runs underneath the medical center.
"The Hamas terror organization systematically operates in hospital areas, exploiting humanitarian facilities for military purposes," the IDF said, repeating what it has stated many times before. "For years, the organization has built an underground system beneath hospitals throughout the Strip, used for weapon production and managing combat operations."
The military added that troops were operating in the area to map out the tunnels ahead of the demolition, and were "expanding their operations to additional sites where there are indications of terror activity."

[IsraelTimes] Iran’s judiciary says it had executed six members of a “terrorist” group convicted of waging armed attacks in the southwestern province of Khuzestan.
“The death sentence for six separatist terrorist elements, who in recent years had carried out a series of armed operations and bombings targeting security in Khuzestan province, was carried out at dawn today,” the judiciary says on its Mizan website.
The identities of those executed and details of their arrests and sentencing were not immediately clear.
But Mizan reported that they were involved in the killings of four security personnel, including two police officers and two members of the Basij paramilitary force, in 2018 and 2019.
The report also says they had “confessed to planning and executing acts of sabotage such as making and planting bombs, blowing up the Khorramshahr gas station.”
Iran usually links what it calls separatist and terrorist groups to, Israel, which it calls the “Zionist regime”.
In a separate execution on Saturday, authorities hanged Saman Mohammadi after convicting him for “Moharebeh” — waging war against God — for his alleged membership in terrorist and Takfiri groups, Tehran’s term for Islamists.
Mohammadi, arrested in 2013, was reportedly involved in the 2009 killing of the Friday prayers imam in the western city of Sanandaj, as well as in armed robberies and kidnappings, including the killing of a conscript.
The executions came less than a week after Iran said it hanged a man it described as one of Israel’s top spies.
The Islamic republic, which carries out executions by hanging, is the world’s second most prolific executioner after China, according to human rights groups including Amnesty International. It has carried out a wave of executions since the 12 day war with Israel in June.
[IsraelTimes] Four Syrians were reportedly detained by Israeli troops during a raid in a village in southern Syria, close to the Israeli border, last night.
The local Sham TV outlet reports that an IDF patrol entered the village of Jamlah, located just outside the Israeli-held buffer zone in southern Syria, and set up a checkpoint in the area.
Four suspects were then detained and taken by the forces, Sham TV says.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
The IDF has been deployed to nine posts inside southern Syria since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in December 2024, mostly within the UN-patrolled buffer zone on the border between the countries.
Troops have been operating in areas up to around 15 kilometers deep into Syria, aiming to capture weapons that Israel says could pose a threat to the country if they fall into the hands of “hostile forces.”
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – The Islamic State (ISIS) announced on Friday the results of its recent operations in Syria, saying that most of its attacks targeted areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the country’s northeast.
In its weekly publication al-Nabaa, the ISIS-affiliated outlet, the group claimed responsibility for killing 11 SDF fighters, wounding five others, and destroying two vehicles. The organization said the operations were documented with photographs.
ISIS highlighted two attacks in particular: an ambush targeting an SDF patrol in the village of al-Bahra in Deir ez-Zor’s eastern countryside, and a raid on an SDF military headquarters in the nearby village of Burayha.
The group said the attacks were meant to “affirm the steadfastness” of those held in Hawl Camp, which houses ISIS family members and affiliates.
Earlier this week, the SDF reported that ISIS had conducted 153 attacks in northeastern Syria since the fall of the al-Assad regime up to September 20, 2025.
