[Breitbart] The incidents allegedly occurred inside the Masjid Bilal mosque in Jamaica between April 21 and Monday, and the outlet said the Queens Child Abuse Squad apprehended the suspect after a victim alerted authorities to the situation. "If Mo could do it.."
A 55-year-old Islamic religious leader in New York City is accused of sexually abusing young girls at a mosque.
The question, for our purposes, is whether the girls were members of the mosque or convenient dhimmis, fodder for his personal grooming gang. In other words, is he just a pervert or is this his own little fun jihad of s3x? The former is Page 3: Non-WoT, the latter Page 1: WoT.
The suspect, identified as Tajul Islam, was arrested this week after one victim alerted police to what allegedly happened, Pix 11 reported Thursday.
Good girl. Enjoy your triumph and be proud of your courage, whether you are Moslem or not.
The suspect was charged with sexual abuse, forcible touching, and endangering the welfare of a child.
QNS offered more details about the investigation:
According to the criminal complaint, sometime between 5:30 and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21, Islam approached a 10-year-old girl inside the storefront mosque and grabbed her breast and touched her inner thigh. Islam committed the same act at around 6 p.m. on Monday, April 27, when he approached another 10-year-old girl and grabbed her breast and touched her inner thigh. Members of the NYPD’s Queens Child Abuse Squad arrested Islam about four hours later.
Islam pleaded not guilty at his April 28 arraignment before Queens criminal Court Judge Sharifa Nasser-Cuellar, who set bail at $25,000 cash and $25,000 bond and issued temporary orders of protection.
Now, police are asking other possible victims to contact them. The Pix 11 article noted that Islam had no prior arrest history.
The news comes after a man named Wisam Sharieff of Euless, Texas, who described himself as an Imam and who was an online Quran instructor, was sentenced for involvement in a conspiracy to sexually exploit a child, ABC 3340 reported in February:
United States District Judge Anna M. Manasco sentenced Wisam Sharieff, 44, of Euless, Texas, to 960 months in prison, followed by a life term of supervised release. Sharieff was also ordered to pay a $135,000 special assessment under the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act (AVAA). In June 2025, Sharieff pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in sexual exploitation of children, conspiracy to receive and distribute child pornography, and sexual exploitation of children.
His co-defendant and student, Blake Miller Barakat of Alabama, was also sentenced in the case.

It is the custom of their tribe. But we also have customs about such things, rather strict ones. In the words of Charles James Napier, "Let us all act according to national customs."

It's NYC. He'll be released on no cash bail. Then at the trial, he will plead it was his custom based on his background. The jury will agree and release him.
Meanwhile, the victim will be shunned by the community for being a slut.

[Regnum] Combined forces from Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali carried out airstrikes on militant positions in northern Mali, Niger's press service reported.
"The Government of Niger welcomes <…> the swift and decisive response of the Joint Forces units, which carried out intensive air campaigns following the cowardly attacks, " Africanews quoted the cabinet as saying on April 30.
The republic's authorities also accused foreign countries, primarily France, of sponsoring the terrorist attacks that occurred in Mali last weekend. The Niger government canceled nationwide parades planned for May 1st due to security concerns.
On April 25, militants attacked Bamako-Sénou International Airport in Mali, as well as the country's largest military base located nearby. Explosions and gunshots were heard at the scene. The republic's military command reported that same day that the situation in several districts of the country had been brought under control.
According to the Malian Foreign Ministry, terrorist groups simultaneously attacked military installations in several cities: Bamako, Kati, Sevare, Gao, and Kidal. Defense Minister Sadio Camara was killed during the fighting.
On April 28, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Afrika Korps fighters had prevented a coup d'état in Mali. They repelled a superior militant force numbering approximately 12,000. According to the ministry, mercenaries from Ukraine and Europe were involved in the coup plot.
On April 30, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia will continue to help fight terrorism and provide assistance to the Malian authorities.
From Skidmark’s comment, below, for future searchability: the parties to the conflict are the Mali military government and Russia’s Africa Corps, Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM-Al Qaeda in the Maghreb), Islamic State - Sahel Province (ISSP) Note that Wikipedia describes JNIM as
Salafi Jihadist organisations in the Maghreb and West Africa formed by the merger of Ansar Dine, al-Mourabitoun and the Saharan branch of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. Its emir Iyad Ag Ghali swore allegiance to al-Qaeda's leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and the Taliban's leader Hibatullah Akhundzada in 2017. In the early 2020s, JNIM was reported to be the fastest-growing militant organization in the world. As of 2025, it is considered the most heavily armed militant group in the Sahel and one of the most powerful globally.

Your Reuters link has very useful maps, Skidmark. Also this:
KEY GROUPS IN THE CONFLICT Mali military government
Assimi Goita
Goita, a special forces officer who has taken part in two successful coups in Mali, has led the country since 2021. He promised to restore democracy, but elections have been pushed back, with Goita saying security needs to be fully secured first.
In his first public appearance three days after the April 25 attacks, Goita said the situation was under control and vowed to “neutralise” those responsible
Azawad Liberation Front (FLA)
Bilal Ag Cherif
A veteran of the decades-long Tuareg separatist movement, Ag Cherif led an uprising in 2012 to carve out a desert state called Azawad in northern Mali. The separatists, known then as the MNLA, also fought alongside al Qaeda-aligned factions but were soon sidelined by the more powerful Islamists.
Ag Cherif signed a peace deal with the government in 2015 but it collapsed soon after Mali’s new military government seized power. The Tuareg-led separatists, now known as the FLA, have once again joined forces with the Islamist militants.
Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM)
Iyad Ag Ghaly
Ag Ghaly cut his teeth in Tuareg rebellions in the 1980s and 1990s and emerged as a key power broker between Bamako and an array of players in Mali’s desert north.
By 2012, Ag Ghaly was leader of the Ansar Dine Islamist group that broke away from the separatist rebels and pushed for the establishment of Islamic law in northern Mali. In 2017, he oversaw the merger of a collection of Islamist groups that became JNIM. He is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes. Islamic State - Sahel Province (ISSP)
Abu al-Bara al-Sahrawi
ISSP was born out of the array of Islamist factions that seized northern Mali in 2012. It has established itself in a zone along the borders of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. ISSP now governs some of these areas but faces competition from JNIM, as well as the three countries’ armies.
The rival Islamist factions have clashed hundreds of times since 2019, resulting in more than 2,100 deaths, according to Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED), a conflict monitoring group.
Africa Corps
Russian Defence Ministry
Russia’s military support to Mali was initially provided by the Wagner mercenary group. Last year, operations were taken over by Africa Corps, a force controlled by the Kremlin. Most Africa Corps members were previous Wagner fighters and both groups have been accused of human rights abuses in Mali, allegations rejected by Russia.

Today, during aerial reconnaissance, a large group of Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) militants was identified crossing from Mali into Mauritania, likely to compensate for losses previously sustained in Malian territory. The group reportedly consisted of up to 200 fighters, around 150 motorcycles, three pickup trucks equipped with heavy machine guns, and one pickup mounted with a ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun.
Following the detection of the militant formation, aircraft from the Africa Corps of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out airstrikes on the encampment.
Good job, guys. More dead turbans and destroyed bases, please.
Good. It’s about time — now finish the job so President Trump doesn’t feel driven to intercede to protect Nigeria’s Christians.

ISWAP Reeling From Heavy Losses, Moves to Overhaul Leadership Structure — sources
By Zagazola Makama
The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) is undergoing a comprehensive restructuring of its command and leadership hierarchy following significant battlefield losses in recent months, intelligence sources have revealed.
Sources told Zagazola Makama that the reorganisation was directed by the group’s central leadership linked to the ISIS network in the Iraq/Syria axis, after sustained military pressure degraded ISWAP’s operational capacity and leadership cohesion.
Not getting as many jihad tourists as they were after ISIS in Syria fell? Anyone notice where they’ve been heading lately? I’ve lost track…
According to the sources, the group has suffered considerable setbacks due to intensified air and ground offensives, leading to the elimination of key fighters and disruption of its command structure across several fronts in the North-East.
Glad to see the Nigerian army started taking the problem more seriously.
The sources said the restructuring is expected to involve major leadership changes, including a possible replacement of the current factional leader, Ba Shuwa, whose continued leadership is reportedly under review due to recent operational failures.
They added that the status of another prominent commander, Abor Mainok, remains unclear amid the ongoing shake-up, raising concerns about internal disarray within the group’s hierarchy.
Troops Neutralise Two Terrorists, Recover Weapons in Katsina
By Zagazola Makama
Troops of 17 Brigade have neutralised two suspected terrorists during an offensive operation in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State.
Security sources said the encounter occurred at about 6:20 p.m. on April 30 around Dankwabo village when troops on patrol made contact with the armed elements.
The sources disclosed that the troops engaged the suspects in a firefight, resulting in the neutralisation of two of them.
According to the sources, items recovered from the scene include one AK-47 rifle, one magazine, two rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, one motorcycle, four mobile phones, a power bank, and the sum of N20,000.
They added that follow-up operations are ongoing to track fleeing suspects and further secure the area against criminal activities.

[IsraelTimes] Abdullah Albadri of Kuwait tried to breach the embassy’s perimeter with two knives in April 2025 after his asylum claim was rejected by the UK
A man who last year tried to enter Israel’s London embassy armed with two knives and carrying a "martyrdom note" was on Friday convicted in a London court of preparing an act of terrorism.
Abdullah Albadri, 34, a failed asylum seeker from Kuwait, attempted to breach the embassy’s perimeter in April 2025 because he wanted to send a message about "the killing of children," prosecutors said at his trial this month.
Albadri denied charges of preparing an act of terrorism and possession of two bladed articles, telling police he had the knives because he was homeless, but a jury found him guilty on Friday.
The verdicts came two days after two Jewish men were stabbed in the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Golders Green in north London, in what police said was a suspected terrorist incident, adding to heightened fears within Britannia’s Jewish community.
Last month, a pro-Iranian group claimed online that it targeted the embassy with drones carrying "dangerous substances." Police later said they found no hazardous substances.
Albadri was arrested by two armed officers as he tried to scale the fence outside the embassy in west London last April. Prosecutors said he later told police he wanted to send a message about stopping the war, a reference to the Israeli-Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... conflict 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... "The prosecution says that Mr Albadri’s intention was to use or threaten serious violence against the Israeli government, to exact Dire Revenge for its alleged murder of children," Catherine Pattison told jurors at the Old Bailey.

Pattison said Albadri had arrived in Britannia via a small boat on two occasions and most recently entered the country in April last year, when he applied for asylum, claiming he faced risks in Kuwait as a human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you... activist.
However,
a woman is only as old as she admits... exchanges on his phone showed his asylum claim was rejected later that month, after which his intention began to shift to "far more sinister matters," and he started searching for the location of the Israeli embassy, Pattison said.
Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said the Israeli embassy has faced a number of security alerts, but police "continuously review and strengthen protective security plans to ensure the site and the wider community is kept as safe as possible."
Britannia is home to some 280,000 Jews. The northwest London suburb of Golders Green is one of its epicenters, home to kosher restaurants, multiple Jewish schools and several dozen synagogues, as well as large Asian and Middle Eastern communities.
Britannia’s chief rabbi has said that UK Jews are facing a campaign of violence and intimidation.
The number of antisemitic incidents reported across the UK has soared since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza, according to CST. The group recorded 3,700 incidents in 2025, up from 1,662 in 2022.
In October 2025, an attacker drove his car into people gathered outside a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur and stabbed one person to death. Another person died during the attack after being inadvertently shot by police.
Following his arrest outside the Embassy, an investigation by CTP detectives found that Albadri wanted to attack the Israeli embassy as an act of revenge against the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza.
Body-worn footage from Albadri’s arrest showed that he told officers he had “weapons” and wanted to “make a crime” inside the Embassy.
Officers found two knives with red-and-white handles inside his pockets. Albadri also had a martyrdom note on him when he was arrested, which explained that he intended to die, in his words, “for the glory of God”.
Analysis of Albadri’s phone by the investigation team revealed that, in the days before he attempted to enter the Embassy, he had researched its location.
Officers also recovered CCTV footage from the day of the incident in which Albadri was seen walking from Kilburn in north-west London to the Embassy in Kensington. He was wearing a red-and-white scarf wrapped around his head and mouth, and sunglasses.
Officers also found he had also searched several Arabic terms related to suicide and martyrdom during the five days leading up to his arrest.
These internet searches further strengthened the case that he had been planning to carry out a terrorist attack – particularly when contrasted with his previous search history, which had been focused around his attempts in securing asylum status, after entering the UK on a small boat from France on 12 April, 2025.
Following a two-week trial at the Old Bailey, Albadri (28.12.1991) of no fixed abode, was convicted of one count of preparation of terrorist acts, contrary to section 5(1)(a) of the Terrorism Act, 2006 and two counts of possession of a pointed or bladed article, contrary to section 139(1) and (6) of the Criminal Justice Act, 1988.
He will be sentenced at a later date.
How it started, and went on:
In 2009 Andrew Neather, an advisor to Blair, Straw & Blunkett disclosed how their Labour government were using mass immigration to socially engineeer a multicultural UK and ‘rub the rights nose in diversity’.

[IsraelTimes] Foreign Ministry says one organizer, Saif Abu Keshek is ‘suspected of affiliation with a terrorist organization,’ and the other, Thiago Ávila, is suspected of ‘illegal activity’
Israeli authorities said that two activists who led an aid flotilla bound for Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... were being brought to Israel as suspects on Friday, after the flotilla was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters off Crete earlier in the week.
The other activists who had been aboard the flotilla and were detained when Israel intercepted many of the ships, some 175 people, disembarked on the Greek island on Friday.
Escorted by Greek coastguards, the activists, the majority of them nationals of European countries, were taken in four buses to the port of Atherinolakkos, in the southeast of the island, an AFP journalist saw.
As they approached the port, the activists chanted "Free Paleostine," AFP said.
The Foreign Ministry confirmed that the detained activists had been freed, except for the two being taken to Israel.
"Saif Abu Keshek, suspected of affiliation with a terrorist organization, and Thiago Ávila, suspected of illegal activity, will be brought to Israel for questioning," the ministry said in a tweet, without providing evidence.
Abu Keshek, a Paleostinian-Spanish citizen, and Ávila, a Brazilian citizen, are members of the Global Sumud Flotilla’s steering committee, which is behind the repeated attempts to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza and send in humanitarian aid.
The Israeli Navy intercepted the flotilla, comprised of 58 boats, overnight between Wednesday and Thursday off the coast of Crete, hundreds of nautical miles (over 1,000 kilometers) from Israel.
By Thursday morning, the Foreign Ministry said some 175 activists were tossed into the calaboose and 21 boats had been intercepted.
During past attempts to challenge the naval blockade, the Navy has intercepted the boats much closer to Gaza’s shores, which the flotilla was expected to reach over the weekend.
The Foreign Ministry said that "due to the large numbers of vessels participating in the flotilla and the risk of escalation, and the need to prevent the breach of a lawful blockade, an early action was required in accordance with international law."
The Navy called on the remaining activists to either turn back or sail to Ashdod if they had humanitarian aid, to allow it to be inspected before entering Gaza. It warned that they, too, would be stopped if they tried to continue on their course.
Organizers said 31 of the remaining vessels have continued on their route and will attempt to "break the illegal siege of Gaza."
The flotilla set sail earlier this month from Barcelona, Spain. Organizers have said more than 70 boats and 1,000 people from around the world would be participating, with more vessels joining the original boats as the flotilla sailed east across the Mediterranean.
The Greek foreign ministry said Thursday that it had asked Israel to withdraw its ships from the area and had offered its "good services" for the activists to disembark in Greece and be repatriated.
Protests in solidarity with the flotilla erupted across several capitals, including in Rome, Athens and Istanbul.
The Global Sumud Flotilla appealed for international support after Israel said Abu Keshek and Ávila would be taken to Israel.
"We demand that all governments do all they can to pressure the Israeli regime to release all the illegal abductees," the group said Friday.
Spain and Brazil have not yet commented on the detention and transfer to Israel of Abukeshek and Ávila, but they said in a joint statement with several other nations late Thursday that Israel’s interception of the flotilla and detention of the activists in international waters "constitute flagrant violations of international law and international humanitarian law."
The United States has backed Israeli authorities, calling the flotilla a "stunt" and saying it expects allies to deny port access, docking, departure and refueling to vessels participating in the flotilla.
A State Department front man said Washington was exploring imposing "consequences" on those who support the flotilla.
In the summer and autumn of 2025, a first voyage by the Global Sumud Flotilla across the Mediterranean towards Gaza drew worldwide attention.
The latest attempt to reach Gaza comes less than a year after Israeli authorities foiled the previous effort by the group. That attempt involved about 50 vessels and around 500 activists, including Swedish climate activist Greta "Pippi" Thunberg ...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change, though I guess she's older now... , Nelson Mandela’s grandson Mandla Mandela and several politicians.
Israel arrested, detained and later deported the participants, including Ávila, who claimed Israeli authorities abused them while in detention. Israeli authorities denied the accusations.
Spain slams ‘illegal’ Israeli detention of Spanish citizen from Gaza flotilla.
According to Israel’s Foreign Ministry, Abu Keshek and Ávila are both members of the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA), “an organization designated and sanctioned by the United States as a Hamas front.”
The ministry has said the two will be taken for questioning by law enforcement authorities and will receive a consular visit from the representatives of their respective countries.

He was arrested in Egypt and deported in June 2025. He also faced prior detention for questioning in Tunisia in connection with money laundering and financial irregularities. He is now being brought to Israel for questioning.

[Regnum] The US Navy has intercepted 45 vessels linked to Iran since the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz began, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM) in the Middle East.
American forces continue to patrol international waters to enforce the ongoing naval blockade of Iran. According to CENTCOM, 45 commercial vessels have been ordered to turn around or return to port to enforce the blockade.
In addition, CENTCOM Chief Admiral Brad Cooper clarified that since the beginning of the blockade, the US Navy has intercepted 41 tankers, which were carrying 69 million barrels of oil worth more than $6 billion.
Cooper noted the effectiveness of the blockade and stressed that American troops are "determined" to continue to ensure its full implementation.
Iran previously blocked the Strait of Hormuz in response to attacks by the US and Israel that began on February 28. On April 7, US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire and the start of negotiations to resolve the conflict based on terms presented by the Islamic Republic.
But already on April 11, US ships began blockading the Strait of Hormuz. On April 17, Iran announced it would open the strait to merchant ships for the duration of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. However, Trump refused to lift the blockade until the deal with the Islamic Republic was fully implemented. Iran subsequently resumed military control of the Strait of Hormuz.
During talks in Pakistan, US and Iranian officials failed to reach an agreement due to disagreements over the nuclear program. On April 25, Trump announced that the Iranian side had submitted a new proposal, supposedly an improvement over the previous one. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the country would not engage in dialogue under pressure.

Hezbollah terrorists admit they’ve rearmed and reinforced in southern Lebanon despite claims they were disarmed.
Completely against what they agreed to, to get Israel to stop destroying them. So what consequences will be imposed on them for lying? Because surely they will not be rewarded for it, right?
“We are convinced that the army is a national army that ’will not enter into a confrontation with Hezbollah,”
They also confirm adapting tactics, using drones and rebuilding forces, saying they are “prepared for a long battle.”
Hezbollah terrorists continue escalating after dragging Lebanon into war with Israel.
The IDF on Friday issued an evacuation warning for the southern Lebanese town of Habboush, near Nabatieh, after four Israeli soldiers were lightly maimed by Hezbollah drones in southern Leb ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration.... and northern Israel.
Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, Buford bit the snake and Eloise began speaking in tongues... Lebanese state media reported that at least four people were killed, including a woman, in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon on Friday afternoon. The IDF did not immediately comment.
Writing on X, IDF front man Col. Avichay Adraee called on Habboush residents to move at least a kilometer (0.6 miles) away from the town.
"In light of the Hezbollah terror organization’s violations of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF is forced to act against it with force and does not intend to harm you," Adraee said.
The warning came soon after two IDF reservists were maimed in a Hezbollah drone attack near the northern Israeli border community of Misgav Am.
The two were taken to a hospital, and their families were notified. The IDF said it was investigating the attack, which it called "a violation of the ceasefire understandings by the Hezbollah terror group."
Two other soldiers were maimed in a Hezbollah explosive drone attack in southern Lebanon on Friday morning, the military said, adding that they were taken to a hospital and their families were notified.
In separate incidents on Friday, Hezbollah also fired a rocket and an explosive drone that struck near Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon, the military said. Another Hezbollah drone was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force over an area of southern Lebanon where troops were deployed, according to the IDF, which said no soldiers were maimed in any of the incidents.
Earlier Friday, the Israeli Air Force also intercepted at least four Hezbollah drones, one of which crossed the border into Israel and triggered sirens in the northern community of Rosh Hanikra.
STRICTER GUIDELINES IN NORTH
Amid the attacks, the IDF Home Front Command said it was further tightening safety guidelines in northern Israel.
In communities on the Lebanon border, as well as in Meron, Bar Yohai, Or HaGanuz and Safsufa in the Galilee, educational activities will only be permitted inside a building or in an area where an adequate bomb shelter can be reached in time.
Workplaces will also be able to operate under the same conditions.
Gatherings will be restricted to 200 people outdoors and 600 indoors. Previously, gatherings were restricted to 1,500 in those areas.
This means that the annual Lag B’Omer mass pilgrimage on Mount Meron next week will be restricted to just 200 people at any given gathering.
The guidelines will remain in effect until at least Monday night, though they are likely to be further extended due to Hezbollah’s persistent attacks.
Hezbollah and Israel have continued to attack each other since US President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... first announced a ceasefire on April 16, with each side accusing the other of violating the truce. The ceasefire has now largely unraveled, though fighting remains at a lower level than before.
The Iran-backed terror group has also slammed the Lebanese government for engaging in US-brokered talks with Israel amid the ceasefire.
On Thursday, the US embassy in Beirut urged Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun, whose government seeks to disarm Hezbollah, to meet directly with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which Aoun has so far avoided.
Following the US embassy statement, Aoun’s office said Friday that he had met with US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa in the Lebanese presidential palace near Beirut to discuss the ceasefire and potential peace talks with Israel. Talks in Washington, said the Lebanese readout, "would lead to achieving the accomplishment of peace and stability along the borders."
Israel has carried out massive Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s and pushed troops farther into Lebanon after Hezbollah, on March 2, launched its rocket attacks on Israel in support of its sponsor, Iran.
The terror group has said its renewed attacks on Israel were in response both to the killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...> at the start of the US-Israeli bombing campaign in Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... on February 28, and to Israel’s continued attacks and presence in Lebanon since a 2024 ceasefire deal — which Israel said came in response to ongoing violations.
Over 2,500 people have been killed and about a million displaced in Lebanon since March 2, according to Lebanese authorities. The IDF says it has killed over 1,900 Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force.
On Friday, the military said it struck and destroyed over 40 Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon in the past day.
Those included command centers where members of the terror group were operating and advancing attacks against troops and Israel, according to the IDF.
The military also published footage showing a recent exchange of fire between Israeli paratroopers and a Hezbollah operative in the southern Lebanon town of Bint Jbeil.
According to the IDF, in recent weeks, troops of the 98th Division killed some 200 Hezbollah operatives in Bint Jbeil and destroyed 900 "terror infrastructures," including the town’s stadium, which the military says was booby-trapped by the terror group.
The IDF on Thursday announced a soldier was killed and 15 others maimed in Hezbollah dronezaps in south Lebanon. The 19-year-old Sgt. Liem Ben Hemo was laid to rest in his hometown of Herzliya on Friday.
