During both attacks in Inates and Bani Bangou the terrorists claim to have killed at least 80 by their own hands, but that dozens more died in the desert after running from their bases.
The troops stationed at the bases reportedly quickly withdrew during the first minutes of the attack, which led to the insurgents ambushing the fleeing soldiers outside their camps.
In the Naba newspaper IS-Sahel also claimed various other attacks which took place across the Tillaberi region against the Nigerien army and its auxiliary militias, during which 30 soldiers and militiamen were allegedly killed and dozens more injured.

[KAVKAZ-UZEL.EU] The Nazran District Court fined 32-year-old Adam Kotiev 25,000 rubles
…about US$330…
for failing to report the involvement of acquaintances who attacked a traffic police post on the border between Ingushetia and North Ossetia in the spring of 2023 in a terrorist organization.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," at the end of 2023, security forces detained Adam Kotiev, a resident of the village of Plievo. Investigators believe he knew the militants who attacked the Volga 24 traffic police post on the border between Ingushetia and North Ossetia in the spring and that he knew of their plans to assassinate security forces.
On March 28, 2023, a traffic police post on the border between Ingushetia and North Ossetia was attacked, leading to a search for six Ingush residents. On March 29, one of them, Ramazan Eldiev, was found dead in Karabulak, presumably from wounds sustained during the shootout. Movsar Kottoev's body was found on April 5 in an abandoned house in the village of Aki-Yurt in the Malgobek District. According to preliminary reports, a grenade exploded in his vest. On April 7, 22-year-old Amir Bokov was detained, and the following day, it was reported that security forces had detained a fourth attacker, 24-year-old Mikail Moshkhoev. Details of the series of incidents in Ingushetia are summarized in the Caucasian Knot report “Intensification of the Armed Underground in Ingushetia in Spring 2023."
According to investigators and the court, in March 2023, Eldiev, while parked in a car belonging to Mikhail Moshkhoev, told Kotiev that he and Moshkhoev had sworn allegiance to the leader of the international terrorist organization Islamic State and that Eldiev had conspired with members of the organization to commit crimes in Ingushetia and North Ossetia, the Ingush court press service reported today on its Telegram channel.
Despite this, Kotiev did not report the crimes of Eldiev and Moshkhoev to law enforcement agencies, although he had the opportunity to do so.
CASE OF FAILURE TO REPORT A CRIME
The case was heard under a special procedure. The court found Kotiev guilty and sentenced him to a fine of 25,000 rubles.
According to the criminal case file on the court's website, the case was filed for trial on October 2, 2025, and the verdict was handed down on June 4, 2026, with the hearing postponed six times due to "failure to deliver the defendant."
The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that in February 2026, the Rostov-on-Don Military Court sentenced Magomed Kottoyev, a native of Malgobek and a relative of Movsar Kottoyev, to 14 years in a maximum-security prison colony, finding him an accomplice to those involved in the attack on a traffic police post on the border between Ingushetia and North Ossetia.

[IsraelTimes] Also on Wednesday, a Defense Ministry civilian contractor was killed in a building collapse in the Gaza Strip, the military announced.
The contractor, named as Raad Abu al-Qi’an from Hura, was employed by a civilian company carrying out demolition works on behalf of the Defense Ministry in the Strip.
During the demolition works, a structure collapsed on Abu al-Qi’an while he was operating heavy machinery, killing him.
The IDF said his family was notified of the incident — described as an “operational accident” — and said the military and Defense Ministry “share in the family’s grief.”
[IsraelTimes] Israel Police arrested a Paleostinian man and an East Jerusalem resident on Wednesday after discovered a tunnel near the A’zaim checkpoint in the West Bank, east of Jerusalem, amid fears it could be used for a terror attack or for smuggling Paleostinians into Israel.
Officers were called to the scene by officials from the Defense Ministry’s Civil Administration unit and found the underground passage, built from the West Bank toward Israel at a depth of 25 meters, police said in a statement.
Cops said they found digging equipment, water bottles, gloves, face masks and other equipment, adding that forensic examination yielded DNA samples that led to the arrests of the two individuals.
One suspect is a Paleostinian from al-Azariya and the second is an East Jerusalem resident. Both are in their 30s.
They were taken for questioning on suspicion of digging the tunnel recently, with the goal of using it to smuggle illegal Paleostinian workers into Israel or to commit terror attacks, police said. There were no weapons found at the site.

In September 2024, the IDF located a short underground tunnel near a hospital in the West Bank city of Tulkarem amid a counter-terrorism operation.
The tunnel had an entrance but no exit, in an indication that it was still under construction.
In December 2023, residents of the town of Bat Hefer, situated hundreds of meters from the West Bank city of Tulkarem, reported hearing digging sounds under their homes.
Several sets of tests searching for possible tunnels from the West Bank found nothing, though.
There is a security barrier separating Bat Hefer from Tulkarem, but the local council said that, in light of the complaints of digging noises, additional security measures were taken.

Hamas has launched an industrial‑scale campaign of terror, intimidation, interrogation, and blackmail against thousands of Gazans it suspects of planning to join tomorrow’s June 26 demonstrations against its violent, authoritarian rule. Hospitals across Gaza have been turned into makeshift police stations, interrogation sites, and torture centers. Clan elders are being coerced into issuing statements. Hamas operatives are stealing phones and posting fabricated messages to sabotage the protests. Families are being threatened, people placed under house arrest, and Hamas’s al‑Qassam brigades (the same forces responsible for October 7) have been fully mobilized to reinforce police and intelligence units with explicit shoot‑to‑kill orders.
Meanwhile, the mainstream press is largely absent, apparently because Israel is not involved – so no Jews, no news. And the Western “pro‑Palestine” industry is either celebrating the electoral victories of pro‑Hamas, hard‑left candidates or actively smearing Gaza’s protesters as collaborators undermining the “resistance.” As for the UN, NGOs, and major human‑rights organizations: silence. Not a word for Palestinians risking their lives to say they are done with Hamas’s terror and rule.

HORRIFIC: The Fatwa Committee of the Association of Muslim Scholars of Palestine has issued a statement declaring that participating in the June 26 anti-Hamas protests is forbidden, accusing protesters of betraying Islam, collaborating with Israel, and calling for them to be publicly denounced.
This is exactly how peaceful dissent is demonized: first by branding ordinary Palestinians as traitors and collaborators, then by creating a religious and political justification to execute and persecute them.
The people planning to protest are not foreign agents. They are Palestinians demanding the right to speak, to live with dignity, and to express their views without fear.
Not a concern of a Muslim Brotherhood caliphate. Why would their subjects think they get secular Western rights now, instead of good old Moslem submission?
Threatening civilians for exercising their right to peaceful expression is unacceptable and disgusting.
What they’re fussing about:
Demonstration organized by dissidents abroad looks to bring crowds into streets Friday to call for better living conditions
[IsraelTimes] On June 18, several dozen people gathered outside Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, one of 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’s largest medical centers, to protest what they said was the lack of adequate treatment for the many maimed left by the war between Israel and the Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... terror group, which rules the Strip.
In videos posted online, demonstrators were heard speaking out angrily against the powers that be, complaining of corruption and apathy, while carefully avoiding direct criticism of Hamas.
"Nobody cares, not even the Health Ministry," said one amputee. "They are all thieves."
Another protester complained of being blocked from seeking medical care abroad.
"We are not allowed to leave and we will die here, while thieves with money forge medical reports and leave," he said. "This is not [Israel], this is the Health Ministry and the World Health Organization."
The demonstration marked a rare public display of criticism against the governing powers in Gaza, where the Hamas terror group continues to rule the areas where nearly all of the Strip’s approximately two million residents live.
On Friday, demonstrators say they will gather again for a much larger protest against dire conditions in the largely unrehabilitated enclave, an event that organizers say will be the first significant show of public dissatisfaction against Hamas in Gaza since the war with Israel halted in October.
Since early June, anonymous social media accounts operating under the banner of the "June 26 Revolution" and apparently organized by Paleostinians in Gaza and abroad have been calling on Gazooks to take to the streets, seeking to build grassroots momentum.
The hospital protest was promoted by the same accounts, as a precursor to the Friday rally.
"This protest is not supported by any country, nor by the army [the IDF] or any militia," said Hamza al-Huwaiti, a former Gazook who is backing the protests from abroad. "These are simply people who are dissatisfied with the current situation and want to change it."
No specific time or location for the protest has been named, suggesting both wariness among organizers and hopes that sustained demonstrations will spread across the Strip.
It is unclear whether the Friday protest will include more explicit calls against Hamas and whether crowds will indeed show up, particularly due to concerns of how Hamas may react to a show of mass dissent as it looks to reassert control.
Protests against the group are uncommon in Gaza, where those speaking out are liable to be accused of collaborating with Israel and risk deadly retaliation. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... they are not unheard of.
The last major demonstrations began in March 2025, drawing hundreds to the streets in various locations every few days or weeks before the movement dissipated some two months later. At the time, Hamas downplayed the protests and described them as anti-war demonstrations.

It seems to me that Israel knows no one else will put their people in harm’s way to restrain Hamas — that’s why they didn’t want anyone else involved. But President Trump needed to make his Moslem friends happy to accomplish his broader goals, so gave them the ability they demanded to protect Hamas from what they see as uppity Jews conquering their fellow Master Religionists.
NEW: Iran is attacking and threatening vessels in the Strait of Hormuz to advance its objective of establishing control over the waterway. The recent attack and ongoing threats also likely seek to undermine international efforts to guarantee safe passage through the Strait of... pic.twitter.com/CoJaUswTNo

This had some nice graphics, so I tried to embed it. … through the Strait of Hormuz.
Other Key Takeaways:
Iran is using military threats and economic incentives to try to convince Gulf states to support its efforts to control the strait, but the Gulf states appear to be resisting Iranian pressure at present.
The United States and GCC foreign ministers issued a joint statement on June 25 that emphasized the importance of “free, unconditional, and unrestricted navigation” and rejected “any tolls, fees, or attempts to assert control over the strait. The statement explicitly opposes any payment requirement for transit through the strait and implicitly opposes any Iranian attempts to manage maritime traffic through measures such as its traffic separation scheme or requirements that vessels coordinate with the IRGC Navy.
US officials told the Washington Post that a Singaporean ship was attacked by an Iranian Shahed drone on Thursday evening.
The vessel sustained significant damage to its bridge, though no injuries or deaths have been confirmed.
Prior to the attack, Iran issued warnings through regime media to oil tankers, cautioning that routes through the strait were restricted and that other routes were 'completely dangerous.'
The attack comes as the US and Iran delicately negotiate a long-term peace agreement that would limit the regime's nuclear program.
Trump has previously said he would strike Iran if it violated the recently signed ceasefire, which allows for the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that carries roughly one-fifth of the world's oil.
Although the President has said the strait is reopened following the ceasefire, only 50 vessels passed through the waterway on Wednesday.
At the start of the war, Iran closed the narrow strait using speedboats, drones and sea mines.
In the months that followed, gas prices in the US skyrocketed to above $4.50 per gallon on average, while Europe and Asia began rationing oil supplies.
It is unclear if traffic through the strait has been affected by the recent attack. The regime has not issued a direct statement on the matter.
The route attacked by Iran had been promoted by the United Nations maritime service as a safe shipping lane for oil tankers.
The peace deal, signed last week, committed Iran to using its 'best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days.'
Ending Tehran's stranglehold on the waterway, which disrupted global oil and gas supplies and drove up fuel and food prices, had been a key US demand in negotiations.
The agreement also said Iran will work with Oman to 'define the future administration and maritime services' of the strait, though there is significant uncertainty as to what will happen after the 60 days is up.
Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are leading US diplomatic efforts with the regime, demanding that it abandon its enriched uranium stockpile and nuclear ambitions.
UN says Hormuz evacuation paused after attack on ship in Gulf of Oman
[IsraelTimes] The evacuation of around 11,000 mariners stranded by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has been suspended after an attack on a vessel in the Gulf of Oman, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) says.
The UN’s maritime agency said earlier this week it would begin evacuating 600 ships and their crews that were trapped by the US-Iran war, after Washington and Tehran agreed a preliminary deal to end the conflict.
But a cargo ship was damaged by an unknown projectile off the Omani coast in the strategic strait on Thursday, prompting the IMO to halt the operation.
“I have decided to temporarily pause (the evacuation plan’s) implementation in order to reconfirm that the necessary safety guarantees continue to be in place for the ships on our evacuation list and all those in the region,” IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez says in a statement.
The vessel that was hit on Thursday was not traveling under the IMO’s evacuation framework, which began on Tuesday evening, Dominguez says.

Oops, I meant it for tomorrow. The heat is getting to me. Anyway, embedding didn't work, but the link is right there...
You did the embedding part right — for some reason it just needed a moderator to open the article for editing and then close it again with no changes whatsoever. The tomorrow part is almost as easily fixed, so now we all will have the entire 24 hours to ponder what you found for us. :-)

Exactly how Israel is supposed to "neutralize the power of JD Vance".
IF Israel wanted to foolish try such a things it could cost them a lot of support of the only US political party still mostly supporting them.
But say Israel does have issues JD.
All they have to do is 3rd / 4th party funnel a few $1,000 or there to some Far Left Bloggers/Meme'ers, and have the right people (D) whisper in the ears of a few MSM (d) reporters, while out wining and dining a few MSM (D) chiefs or reporters.

The Lieutenant's veto. Who controls who? Someone decides not to follow the top's orders and can sabotage any deal? Good reason for Iranians to rat out where the leadership and button pushers are hunkering down.

Following Their Detection Inside the Security Zone: IDF Eliminates Terrorists from the Hezbollah Terrorist Organization Who Posed a Threat to Our Forces Operating in the Forward Defense Zone
🔸Earlier today (Thursday), forces of the combat team affiliated with the Golani Brigade, under the command of the 36th Division, operating in the town of Zoutar al-Sharqiya, detected five terrorists from the Hezbollah terrorist organization who posed a threat to our forces operating inside the security zone.
🔸In another incident, forces of the combat team affiliated with the Commando Brigade, operating in the Ali al-Taher Heights, detected an armed terrorist from the Hezbollah terrorist organization who posed a threat to our forces operating in the security zone.
🔸Immediately upon detection, the Air Force conducted strikes, as ground forces also opened fire on the terrorists, resulting in their elimination to remove the threat.
🔸IDF forces continue operations in the Ali al-Taher Heights area and do not allow the organization's terrorists to emerge from underground infrastructure or move in the Heights area.
🔸The IDF will not allow the Hezbollah terrorist organization to harm the citizens of the State of Israel or its forces, and will continue operations to remove immediate threats.
HEZBOLLAH RELEASES FOOTAGE OF ATTACK ON IDF FORCES IN SOUTHERN LEBANON
Hezbollah’s military media published low-quality footage it says shows a June 14, 2026 attack targeting Israeli troop and vehicle concentrations in southern Lebanon with “precision missiles.”
HEZBOLLAH RELEASES FOOTAGE OF ATTACK ON IDF FORCES IN SOUTHERN LEBANON
Hezbollah’s military media published low-quality footage it says shows a June 14, 2026 attack targeting Israeli troop and vehicle concentrations in southern Lebanon with “precision missiles.”
Another reminder that Hezbollah continues to document, brand, and glorify attacks against Israel as part of its propaganda war.
Senior Israeli and Lebanese officials denied on Thursday that there had been any withdrawal of Israeli troops from areas of IDF-held 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.... , after a US official reportedly claimed that the IDF pulled some of its troops back in a good-faith gesture toward Lebanon’s government amid ongoing talks between the two countries.
Israeli and Lebanese officials have been meeting this week in Washington to discuss, among other things, a proposal for the IDF to withdraw from "pilot zones" and transfer control of them to the Lebanese military in order to prevent Hezbollah from returning to the areas.
However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... sources told The Times of Israel that the current round of talks in Washington has been the least productive to date, with both Israeli and Lebanese officials voicing frustration over the US decision to make a ceasefire in Lebanon part of the memorandum of understanding it inked last week with Iran. Despite the displeasure, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration... said Thursday that Israel and Lebanon are close to making a "commitment of intent," without elaborating.
Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, Bart was wondering if fisticuffs would be appropriate at this point... Rooters cited an unnamed State Department official who claimed that "Israel has already taken a concrete step by pulling back from a part of its buffer zone. This is a significant demonstration of good faith toward Lebanon’s legitimate government."
The official said the pilot zone process is aimed at ensuring the complete and verifiable destruction of Hezbollah’s weapons and infrastructure and the dismantlement of non-state gangs.
"The (Lebanese Armed Forces) should now move in and verifiably clear out terrorist weapons and infrastructure. This model will be repeated across south Lebanon, enabling the safe return of displaced families, reconstruction of the south, and the restoration of full Lebanese illusory sovereignty," the official added.
The State Department did not respond to repeated requests to clarify whether the quotes reported in Rooters represented official administration policy.
Israeli security and military officials swiftly denied the US official’s claim, and said that the IDF has yet to be instructed by politicians to withdraw, according to the officials.
The IDF’s potential withdrawal from areas of southern Lebanon has been discussed during the direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, but no agreement has been reached yet, the officials said.
Asked about the State Department official’s comments, a senior Lebanese military official said developments on the ground in recent days "show the opposite of a pullback."
The Lebanese official said Israeli forces had been enforcing their buffer zone against anyone approaching it, including Lebanese army troops.
Israel also carried out a strike in south Lebanon Thursday, reportedly killing two people in a vehicle traveling between the towns of Zawtar al-Sharqiya and Mayfadoun, near — but not inside — Israel’s buffer zone.
The IDF did not issue any comment on the strike.
While Beirut is pushing for a phased withdrawal of IDF troops negotiated directly between the countries, 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... insists that the terms of the MOU require the immediate withdrawal of all Israeli forces, with the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force Esmaeil Qaani saying Thursday that Israel must withdraw now or be "forced to flee in defeat."
IDF POSTPONES HEZBOLLAH DEMOLITIONS Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, Bart was wondering if fisticuffs would be appropriate at this point... The Times of Israel learned Thursday that the IDF has postponed the demolition of several Hezbollah terror infrastructures in southern Lebanon during the current ceasefire with the terror group, including a major tunnel holding a drone facility in the southern Lebanon village of Majdal Zoun that news hounds visited last week.
Similarly, other Hezbollah infrastructures near Beaufort Castle, which were captured by the IDF in early June, have not yet been demolished.
Also, amid the ceasefire, the IDF halted efforts to capture a "strategic" underground Hezbollah facility beneath the Ali Taher ridge near Nabatieh.
According to the military, the Ali Taher tunnels are the "nerve center" of Hezbollah’s Badr regional division. The IDF said last week that at least 30 Hezbollah operatives remained holed up underground in the area, and fighting had taken place above and below ground.
On Saturday when the IDF was instructed by Israeli leaders to halt its fire in Lebanon, the military froze its activity in the Ali Taher area and has not attempted to enter the fortified tunnels.
In the past two days, still,the IDF has carried out strikes on several Hezbollah operatives identified above ground in the Ali Taher area, saying they posed a threat to troops.
The instruction to halt fire in Lebanon came under heavy US pressure, as Washington holds talks with Iran on a final deal to end the war, after reaching an initial memorandum of understanding that required the US "and its allies" to halt all military activity on all fronts, explicitly including Lebanon. That deal was reached against Israel’s wishes, and Jerusalem has vowed to remain in the security zone it has captured in southern Lebanon.
