IS-Somal has recently started escalating attacks against Puntland forces across the Cal Miskaad mountains, following a hiatus of several months during which the Puntland army declared victory and started withdrawing from several areas, replaced by local militias.
IS-Somal has recently started escalating attacks against Puntland forces across the Cal Miskaad mountains, following a hiatus of several months during which the Puntland army declared victory and started withdrawing from several areas, replaced by local militias.
Attacks targeted Puntland forces in Qarac, Deri Madoobe, Katr Odan (?) and Dhaadaar, resulting in human and material losses.
IS-Somal directed a message to the pro-Puntland militias and anyone assisting them "even by a sip of water" calling upon them to "repent and learn from the fates of others [like them], before the hands of the mujahideen reach them".
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump has announced that the world's 'most active terrorist' has been killed by American and Nigerian forces.
Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, the second in command of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), was 'eliminated' in Afria on Friday night.
'Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday night.
He added that Abu-Bilal al-Minuki was 'hiding' in Africa, and sources had informed US officials of his whereabouts.
'He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans,' Trump wrote.
'With his removal, ISIS’s global operation is greatly diminished. Thank you to the Government of Nigeria for your partnership on this operation.'
Abu-Bilal al-Minuki is a Nigerian national and was sanctioned by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken designated him a Specially Designated Terrorist in 2023.
ISIS-West Africa is one of the most significant and lethal branches of the terror group.
The National Counterterrorism Center estimates that there are between 4,000 and 7,000 fighters affiliated with ISIS in the region.
The group is concentrated in northeastern Nigeria, with operations throughout the Lake Chad region, including Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
The branch was formed in 2015 when Boko Haram, a violent Islamist insurgency, pledged its allegiance to ISIS.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House and the Pentagon for more information.
Abu Bakr al-Mainuki viewed as the key figure in terror group’s organizing and finance, had been plotting attacks against the US and its interests, official says.
Trump said Abu Bakr al-Mainuki was second in command of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group globally."
Al-Mainuki was viewed as the key figure in ISIS organizing and finance, and had been plotting attacks against the United States and its interests, according to an official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share sensitive information.
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu confirmed the operation and said al-Mainuki was killed alongside "several of his lieutenants, during a strike on his compound in the Lake Chad Basin."
Born in Nigeria’s Borno province in 1982, al-Mainuki took the helm of the ISIS branch in West Africa after the group’s previous leader in the region, Mamman Nur, was killed in 2018, according to the Counter Extremism Project, which tracks holy warrior groups.
Al-Mainuki was based in the Sahel area, the monitoring group said, adding that it is believed that he fought in Libya when ISIS was active in the North African nation more than a decade ago. He was sanctioned by the US in 2023.
Trump in December directed US forces to launch strikes against the Islamic State group in Nigeria, though he released little detail then about the impact.
Nigeria has been battling multiple gangs, including at least two affiliated with ISIS, as it has grappled with a multifaceted security crisis. ISIS affiliates in Africa have emerged as some of the continent’s most active holy warrior groups following the collapse of the ISIS caliphate in Syria and Iraq in 2017.
The US in February sent troops to the West African nation to help advise its military and in March, the US also deployed drones there after Trump alleged that Christians are being targeted in Nigeria’s security crisis.
The Friday night operation was the latest instance in a string of covert missions abroad that Trump has announced this year, starting with the stunning overnight raid in January to capture and remove Venezuela
...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south... ’s then-leader Nicolás Maduro and whisk him to the US, followed nearly two months later by the launch of strikes that kicked off the war with Iran.

Not sure what the most active terrorist in the world means. Nigeria seems like the right place to win that title whatever it does mean. Glad that the trophy will be awarded posthumously.

Troops Neutralise Two Terrorists During Clearance Operations in Borno
By Zagazola Makama
Troops of the Joint Task Force North-East, Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), have neutralised two suspected terrorists during clearance operations conducted in parts of Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to a special situation report issued by Headquarters Sector 1 under Operation Desert Sanity, the operation was carried out on May 15, 2026, by troops of the 153 Task Force Battalion stationed at Kirawa.
The operation involved 15 soldiers working in conjunction with 16 members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and 24 hybrid forces mounted on 28 motorcycles.
The troops reportedly advanced to Valle general area, Ashigashiya and Gakara communities during the operation aimed at clearing suspected terrorist hideouts and routes within the axis.

NEW | Rwandan-backed M23 rebels withdrew unilaterally from the Ruzizi Plain in the eastern DRC, relinquishing their residual territorial gains from a late 2025 offensive in South Kivu province.
The withdrawal does not solve key issues fueling fighting in the eastern DRC, however, and the group has retained positions that could enable a renewed offensive to retake these areas in the future.

[KavkazUzel] The case of a resident of the village of Sagopshi, accused of participating in the activities of an illegal armed group, which is a cell of an international terrorist organization, has been referred to court. I have no idea which proscribed group is involved in this case.
A resident of the village of Sagopshi in the Malgobek district of Ingushetia was accused of undergoing training for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities (Article 205.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), participating in the activities of a terrorist organization (Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), participating in the activities of an illegal armed group (Part 2 of Article 208 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), acquiring and storing firearms (Part 4 of Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and illegally acquiring and transporting explosive devices (Part 4 of Article 222.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
According to investigators, in March 2023, the accused voluntarily joined an illegal armed group, a separate cell of an international terrorist organization whose activities are banned in Russia. He illegally possessed and transported combat handguns, ammunition, and explosive devices through Ingushetia. In a forested area in the Malgobek District, he and other members of the group underwent training for terrorist activities, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Ingushetia reported on its Telegram channel on May 15.
The accused also organized the covert movement of the group's members around the republic by car and searched for real estate for them.
The man was taken into custody and his case was sent to court for consideration on the merits.
[IsraelTimes] The US Justice Department announces the arrest of an Iraqi national for terrorism on behalf of Iran.
Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a member of the Kata’ib Hizballah terrorist group and an operative of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, plotted close to 20 attacks in the US, Europe and Canada, prosecutors say.
Al-Saadi, 32, was extradited to the US from abroad and appears in a federal court in New York City.
He allegedly attacks on “US and Israeli interests and to kill Americans and Jews in the U.S. and abroad,” says Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Attacks linked to al-Saadi include arson against a synagogue in North Macedonia and the stabbing of two Jewish men last month in London.
This month and last month, Al-Saadi allegedly attempted terror attacks against Jewish institutions in New York, the Justice Department says.
In communication with an undercover officer, he shared photos of a prominent Jewish synagogue in New York, and two Jewish institutions in California and Arizona, directing the officer to attack the targets.
The Justice Department does not name the specific targets.
Al-Saadi is charged with six counts of terrorism-related offenses.
The Community Security Initiative, a group that coordinates security for Jewish institutions in the New York region, says in a bulletin that it has been in contact since last month with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force about the plot against the New York synagogue.
[IsraelTimes] Military officials indicate Gaza City airstrike eliminated terror group’s chief; former hostages hail reports of death of the man responsible for their abduction and captivity
Israel said that it had targeted Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... leader in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip and the head of the terror group’s military wing, in an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... in Gaza City on Friday. While there was no immediate confirmation that he was killed, news of the strike prompted a joyous response from several of the hostages he had personally held and many hailed the apparent death of the last of the major architects of the October 7, 2023, massacre.
The strike, which came amid a shaky ceasefire between Israel and the terror group, hit a residential building in Gaza City’s Rimal neighborhood. Footage from the scene showed a huge cloud of dust and smoke rising from the shattered, burning building.
Minutes after the airstrike, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz released a statement confirming that they had given the order to target Haddad, calling him the "commander of Hamas’s military wing and one of the principal architects of the October 7 massacre."
"Al-Haddad was responsible for the murder, abduction, and harm inflicted upon thousands of Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers," the statement said.
"He held our hostages in brutal captivity, orchestrated terrorist attacks against our forces, and refused to implement the agreement advanced by US President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... for Hamas’s disarmament and the demilitarisation of the Gaza Strip," the statement said.
Hamas did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the fate of Haddad, who became the terror group’s military chief in the Gaza Strip after Israel’s killing of commander Muhammad Sinwar in May 2025.
Hamas Gaza chief Izz al-Din Haddad, then the commander of Hamas’s Gaza City Brigade, is seen in a video released by Hamas’s military wing in May 2022.
Haddad is the most senior Hamas official targeted with a strike by Israel since an October US-backed deal that was meant to halt fighting in Gaza. The attack comes as Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked in talks to advance US President Donald Trump’s post-war plan for Gaza.
Medics in Gaza said at least three people were killed and 20 were maimed in airstrikes targeting an apartment and a vehicle. It was not immediately clear if Haddad was one of the dead.
The Israeli Air Force struck a hideout apartment where Haddad was believed to be, along with a vehicle that left the location at the same time, to prevent an attempt by the Hamas leader to flee, a military source said.
Officials said three jets took part in the strike, dropping 13 bombs on the site.
A senior Israeli security official told reporters that were “initial indications” that Haddad was killed. The military has not yet officially commented on the strike.
EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY
Nevertheless, Katz called the family of former hostage soldier Liri Albag to update them on the strike.
Albag, along with several other of the female surveillance soldiers abducted by Hamas from the Nahal Oz base on October 7th, was held in captivity by Haddad when he commanded Hamas’s Gaza City Brigade.
In a post on social media, Albag celebrated Haddad’s apparent death, writing in Arabic “Every dog has its day, and you were a real bitch.”
Speaking later to Channel 12, Albag recounted how “he held us captive, we were in his tunnels. He was one of the architects of October 7th, responsible for a lot of suffering.”
She recounted how he had widespread interaction with the hostages as he was one of the few who spoke Hebrew and was responsible for the whole area where they were kept.
“This is a really happy moment and a message to all the Hamas terrorists that their time has come and we will continue with all our power,” she said.
Another female hostage, Emily Damari, also celebrated reports of his death, thanking the security forces for killing him and calling it “a very, very, very important closing of a circle for so many people.”
“He plotted and planned the 7th [of October] and killed my friends and so many other dear people. He planned my abduction and kept me in the Hamas tunnels,” she said. “With the help of God we will reach all those garbage terrorists.”
REFUSED TO DISARM
The strike threw into question the future of the ceasefire.
A senior Israeli security official said that the strike was approved by the political echelon about a week and a half ago.
During that time, Haddad was under “continuous” surveillance, and the strike was carried out this evening “due to an operational opportunity with a high probability of successful elimination,” the official told reporters.
They see you when you’re sleeping
They know when you’re awake
They know if you’ve been bad or worse…
According to the military, Haddad was targeted by the Air Force shortly after intelligence officers at the Southern Command and Military Intelligence Directorate received information on his whereabouts.
During the war, Haddad moved between numerous hiding places, surrounding himself with many hostages, including the female surveillance soldiers, to avoid being targeted in Israeli strikes, the military source said.
In an unsourced report, Channel 12 said that Netanyahu and Katz gave the order to kill Haddad in recent days once it became clear that he posed an obstacle to efforts to coax Hamas to disarm.
As if anything less then their own deaths would persuade them.
Haddad is the most senior Hamas military commander in Gaza and the last remaining senior official in the terror group who led the October 7 onslaught.
The agreement reached last October halted major fighting in Gaza after two years of war between Israel and Hamas. But steps have faltered to reach a permanent settlement that would withdraw Israeli troops, disarm the terrorists and allow the ruined enclave to be rebuilt.
The only step that faltered is Hamas disarming and going away.
Haddad became head of both Hamas in Gaza and of the terror group’s military wing in June 2025, following the death of Muhammad Sinwar, who was killed in mid-May, 2025 in an Israeli strike. Before that, the terror group was led by Sinwar’s older brother, Yahya, who Israel killed in October 2024.
Profiles of Haddad had described him as someone who kept an extremely low profile, spoke Hebrew and carried photos of Israeli hostages on his cellphone.
Haddad helped plan the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and saw 251 abducted as hostages to Gaza, triggering the war.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, a Hamas official said that Haddad was known as the “Ghost of al-Qassam” because of his low profile. He had survived several attempts by Israel to assassinate him and had a $750,000 bounty on his head. His two sons were both killed during the war.
Lovely. Any chance the entire bloodline is wiped out?
Haddad rose through the ranks of Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, eventually taking over as its chief, Arab and Israeli officials said. He was also in the al-Majd, the Hamas internal security group that hunts those who collaborate with Israel and spies. Al-Majd was in the past led by Yahya Sinwar.

"Down a well lined with Lebanon cedar,
Our modest Hezbollock, dear reader,
Awaits in his bunker
Pervaded with funk... er..."
[Victrola plays drear Shia Lieder]

[Regnum] At least six people, including three rescuers, were killed in an Israeli strike on the settlement of Haruf in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon. The Ministry of Health announced this on May 15 in a statement on the social media site X.
"An Israeli attack on the Islamic Medical Association's Civil Defense center in Haruf, in the Nabatiyeh district, killed six people, including two civil defense employees and the head of the local hospital's emergency department, and wounded 22 others," the agency said.
Was it a Hezbollah command center, a weapons cache, a tunnel entrance, or a fighting strong point?
It was also noted that as a result of the Israeli attack, three ambulances were damaged, one of them was completely destroyed.
Or perhaps the ambulances were conveying fighters… that happens a lot.
Previously, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that, as of May 3, 2,679 Lebanese residents had been killed in Israeli attacks since March 2. Another 8,229 people were injured.
Yeah? How many were Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or their human shields?
The Lebanese Ministry of Health predicts that the death toll could rise as Israel continues to attack communities serving as strongholds of the Shiite organization Hezbollah.
Well, yes — that is the point, since Hezbollah refuses to lay down its arms as agreed, and the Lebanese army is unable to enforce compliance with the ceasefire they’d signed off on. Israel is doing you all the favour of handling it for you in lieu of conquering the entire country, which they’ve been avoiding since Sabra and Shatila in 1982.
Productive of what? Or is this just another siege to wear down the Iran axis until American and Israeli rearming is complete?
The United States on Friday announced a 45-day extension of a porous ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon,
…another way to say that both sides continue to fire, but Israel hasn’t simultaneously hit the next 50 targets on its list…
even as the Iran-backed terror group continued to clash with IDF soldiers and launch missiles and drones into Israeli territory.
The announcement came after Israel and Leb ...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?... wrapped up a third round of negotiations in Washington, which was described by State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott as "highly productive," adding that the truce extension will "enable further progress."
The third round, which lasted two days, included military officials from both sides for the first time, with Israel’s acting defense attaché to the US Brig. Gen. Arik Ben Dov, and head of the IDF’s Strategic Division Brig. Gen. Amichai Levin representing Israel.
The State Department will reconvene the political track of negotiations on June 2 and June 3, Pigott said.
In addition, a security track will be launched at the Pentagon on May 29 with military delegations from both countries.
"We hope these discussions will advance lasting peace between the two countries, full recognition of each other’s illusory sovereignty and territorial integrity and establishing genuine security along their shared border," Pigott said.
Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter said the talks were "frank and constructive."
"I’m looking forward to the next steps," he posted on X. "There will be ups and downs, but the potential for success is great. What will be paramount throughout negotiations is the security of our citizens and our soldiers."
The Lebanese delegation welcomed the extension of the ceasefire and touted the establishment of separate military and political tracks that will meet separately in the coming weeks at the State Department and Pentagon.
"Lebanon will continue to engage constructively in negotiations while safeguarding its illusory sovereignty and protecting the safety of its people," the statement from the Lebanese delegation said.
It added that the pillars of Beirut’s position are restoration of its illusory sovereignty, return of the displaced, reconstruction, release of detainees, recovery of remains, and the establishment of an independent verification mechanism.
That’s nice.
“Lebanon is negotiating for a future in which its borders are respected, its sovereignty is upheld solely by its Lebanese Armed Forces, and its people can live in lasting peace and security,” the statement added.
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said his country has had enough "reckless" wars for foreign interests, calling for Arab and international support in Beirut’s negotiations with Israel, in a reference to Hezbollah launching two wars in support of Iran.
Speaking at an NGO dinner, Salam said that he hoped to "mobilize all Arab and international support to bolster our position in the negotiations" with Israel, shortly after the truce extension.
After 10/7, Bibi doesn’t care.
The ceasefire has been in place since April 16, but the US has allowed Jerusalem to continue targeting Hezbollah operatives deemed a threat. Accordingly, attacks have continued on a daily basis, including while the third round of negotiations was held on Thursday and Friday.
Hezbollah has targeted Israeli forces who have created a deep buffer zone in southern Lebanon, which Jerusalem says is designed to prevent Hezbollah attacks on communities across the border. However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... the ceasefire has largely held in Beirut and other areas further away from the border following US pressure on Israel.
Lebanon, whose government has committed to disarming Hezbollah, is demanding a halt to Israel’s strikes and full Israeli withdrawal, while Israel, which accuses Beirut of failing to disarm Hezbollah, demands that the terror group give up its weapons. Hezbollah itself has rejected the direct talks and insisted its weapons are not up for discussion.
Throughout Friday, the Iran-backed terror group launched drones from Lebanon at northern Israel. The military said impacts were identified in Kiryat Shmona and Metula, while others struck open areas, with no injuries caused. Some were also intercepted by air defenses, according to the IDF.
Hezbollah also launched several drones, rockets, and mortars at Israeli troops in southern Lebanon today, the military said. The IDF said that several drones were intercepted. No further details are immediately given.
In another incident, Hezbollah attempted to shoot down an Israeli Air Force drone over southern Lebanon. The IDF said the surface-to-air missile "failed."
Additionally, following Thursday’s Hezbollah drone attack on the Rosh Hanikra area, which maimed four civilians, the chief of the Northern Command declared the nearby coast a closed military zone. The order, signed by Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo covers the entire coastline from Rosh Hanikra to the Achziv area, and it is valid until the end of the month.
ISRAELI STRIKES INJURE AT LEAST 37 PEOPLE IN TYRE AFTER EVACUATION WARNINGS
Lebanon’s health ministry said Israeli strikes on the Tyre district maimed at least 37 people, including six hospital personnel, nine women, and four children on Friday. The IDF said earlier it launched Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on Hezbollah infrastructure in the Tyre area, following evacuation warnings.
An AFP correspondent reported a series of strikes, two of them near the city of Tyre, while state media said another targeted a centre run by a local NGO near a hospital.
Hafez Ramadan, a resident near the building targeted by the Arclight airstrike, said it had housed people who had fled their towns due to the war, and was adjacent to a hotel where more displaced people were staying.
"There are only women, children, and the elderly here," he claimed. "Because of this strike, people have been displaced again."
Separately, the IDF said it destroyed a Hezbollah rocket launcher used to fire a barrage at Kiryat Shmona on Thursday night. Overnight, the launcher in the town of Zebdine was struck and destroyed, alongside several buildings that the IDF says were used by Hezbollah for military purposes. The rockets launched at Kiryat Shmona were intercepted or hit open areas, with no injuries caused.
Nineteen IDF soldiers and one Defense Ministry civilian contractor have been killed in southern Lebanon amid fighting against Hezbollah. Two civilians were also killed by Hezbollah rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling.
In Lebanon, the Israeli military has said that it has killed over 2,000 Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, since hostilities escalated amid the war with Iran.
More than 5,000 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon have also been struck, including hundreds of command centers, weapon depots, and rocket and missile launchers, according to the IDF.
During the fighting in Lebanon, which began on March 2, Hezbollah fired some 5,500 rockets at IDF troops operating in the south of the country, as well as around 2,500 at Israel, according to the military. There were at least 75 rocket impact sites in Israel.
In addition, Hezbollah launched around 300 drones, of which 25 struck Israel, according to the IDF.
The IDF believes Hezbollah still possesses thousands of short-range rockets, along with hundreds of longer-range projectiles. The IDF has said that Hezbollah is launching most of its attacks from deeper within southern Lebanon, north of the Litani River, and not from areas close to the border.
