[ToloNews] A mass funeral was held in Samkani district of Paktia province for the victims martyred in last night's Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s by Pakistain's military regime, and the deaders were laid to rest.
Local residents say all of those martyred in the attacks were civilians, including women and kiddies.
Saifullah Rashtin, a resident of Samkani district, said: "Around 15 deaders were laid to rest here. People are deeply saddened. The incident took place in the Mande Khail area of Samkani district in Paktia province."
Abdul Rahman, another resident of the area, said: "Five of the deaders were from the lower village, while others were from the upper village and our own village. Some of the deaders were members of our families. In total, around 17 or 18 deaders were laid to rest today."
Residents say Pakistain's military regime deliberately targeted civilians and have called on human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... organizations not to remain silent over what they described as a crime, urging them to conduct a comprehensive investigation.
Raees Khan, a resident of Samkani district, said: "Every time we hear that an investigation will be carried out, but we never see any results. No meaningful investigation has taken place, and no one has held Pakistain accountable. Similar attacks have occurred in Kabul, Kunar, Jalalabad, and Paktia, yet we have seen no effective response."
Last night, Pakistain's military regime carried out an airstrike on a residential house in Samkani district of Paktia province, martyring 28 people, including women and kiddies, and injuring another 158. In a separate airstrike on Gayan district of Paktika ...which coincidentally borders North Wazoo and Kurram Agency... province, six members of the same family, including three children, two women, and one man, were also martyred.

Day 85 | Ansar Allah's leader in Yemen Abdulmalik al-Houthi's general mobilization campaign, initially framed as a call for tribes to prepare for a renewed confrontation with the Saudi-led coalition, now appears to be expanding into a broader state and society mobilization effort.
Recent mobilization events have included large armed tribal gatherings in Maeen District, Al-Mansuriyah, Bajil, Damt, and Arhab, alongside rallies organized by the judiciary in Ibb and the health sector in Dhamar.
While Houthi media continues to present the campaign as a civilian response involving tribes, public servants, teachers, doctors, and local communities, the official statements indicate a much wider effort. Judiciary officials, health sector personnel, local government employees, and other public institutions have held organized readiness rallies, publicly endorsing al-Houthi's mobilization call and pledging support for future military operations.
[PJMedia] London’s Metropolitan Police have found evidence suggesting there are thousands of child sex exploitation gangs or offenders in London.
London is reportedly majority Moslem now (which tallies with my experience there), but even if that is in reality an exaggeration, it’s obvious the UK capital has a serious problem with Islamic rape gangs. Just in London, there are up to 4,000 grooming gang cases that authorities have tried to cover up.
Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe, who released the bombshell report on grooming gangs that identified 250,000 British girls and women as victims, indicated that between 87% and 95% of such sexual criminals are Moslem men. In other words, the mass child exploitation and rape gang crisis in England is almost entirely a result of mass migration from Moslem-majority nations. That is not surprising given that Islamic sacred texts endorse pedophilia, rape, and sexual slavery. But the current mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is also Moslem. Now, some Moslems do not follow the encouragement to sexual crime in their sacred texts, but will Khan address the rape-gang crisis any more now than he did before? Somehow I expect not.
In fact, according to GB News, Khan previously and emphatically asserted there was "no evidence" that grooming gangs were operating in London. Scotland Yard’s new findings indicate how wildly false that was.
Sir Sadiq Khan is facing fresh scrutiny over his previous claims about grooming gangs in London after the Met Police identified more than 4,000 potential child sexual exploitation cases that could now be reopened... Roughly one in three cases [of 12,000] are now flagged for potential reinvestigation after police or the Crown Prosecution Service previously decided to take no further action.

And yet before the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee in 2025, Khan asserted, "My understanding from speaking to the police, and she will appreciate, I have done on a regular basis, is and I choose my words carefully for the reasons she will understand there are no reported cases and also no indication of the grooming gangs that she is concerned about in London." It is likely his critics who accused him of a cover-up were correct.
Notably, on Saturday, a Somali-born man drove a car into a crowd in London. The overwhelming majority of victim-based crimes in the UK do not result in a charge. On the other hand, thousands of British citizens have ended up in handcuffs for social media posts.
Great Britannia has become, or at least is well on the way to becoming, a sharia state. Many of the British people are opposed to it and awake to the danger, but unfortunately, just as in many states here in the U.S., the communists in charge of the government are willing to take many tyrannical measures to ensure they never lose power. And it is even more difficult to change leadership in a country with a parliamentary system as Britannia has. The UK is held captive thanks to suicidal woke idiots and fundamentalist Moslems.

The way the UK Gov has been operating and behaving the last 10+ years. It make a person wonder if the Liberals, Socialist and Democrats here in the US have been using them as a role model.
[FoxNews] New report links Singham-backed activists to campaigns that stalled $23.6B in AI and data center investment across 14 states
Former Treasury senior advisor and chief speechwriter Sam Lyman says the Southern District of New York's investigation into the finances behind the activist network tied to American Marxist businessman Neville Roy Singham
…who is not Marxist but Maoist since he was a youth…
marks one of the most significant developments yet in the federal government's scrutiny of the organization and far-left protests in the U.S.
"It's an enormous development because it's one of the first legal actions that's taking a deeper look into this network, which is among the most subversive political networks here in the United States, period," Lyman told Fox News Digital.
Lyman was reacting to Fox News Digital's exclusive report that U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton from the Southern District of New York has opened a grand jury investigation into the finances behind Singham's sprawling activist network.
The former Treasury official, who now serves as head of research at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, released a new report on Monday, first obtained by Fox News Digital, examining the Singham network's role in organizing opposition to artificial intelligence infrastructure and data center development across the country.

[HodhodYemenNews] The Hind Rajab Foundation
…another Hezbollah front project, launched 2024 in Belgium by one Dyab Abou Jahjah. It’s a lawfare boiler room generating endless lawsuits and demands for arrests against Israelis daring to travel outside their country on the pretext that as Israeli soldiers they must have committed war crimes. This is why one mustn’t post travel information on social media until back home…
has submitted a formal request to the US Department of Justice calling for an urgent criminal investigation into Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and urging US authorities to arrest him upon his expected arrival in New York next month.
The request is based on a legal dossier prepared by the foundation, which accuses Ben-Gvir of direct incitement to genocide, torture, and the mistreatment of Paleostinians since assuming office in 2022. The foundation said the case represents a test of the United States’ commitment to upholding international law and the rule of law.
According to reports published Sunday, the foundation argues that policies implemented by Ben-Gvir toward Paleostinian prisoners have directly contributed to the deaths of dozens of detainees in Israeli prisons. It also said that actions attributed to him have caused physical harm and property damage affecting US citizens.
Jake Rom, the foundation’s US representative, said Ben-Gvir’s visit to the United States presents an opportunity to hold him accountable, questioning whether US authorities will apply the law equally or grant immunity to Israeli officials. He called on federal authorities to enforce the law without political exceptions or selective application.
[IsraelTimes] After Palestinian terror groups’ acknowledgement that multiple supposed journalists killed in the Gaza war were among their ranks, Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon uses his time at the UN Security Council for a quiz of “Journalist or terrorist?”
“Israel is condemned again and again and again,” Danon tells the council. “A claim is made against Israel. The UN repeats it and then the world condemns it. Then when the truth comes out — it takes time, sometimes weeks, months, years — no apology, no correction, no retraction. They move on. We will not move on.”
Danon holds up several photos of ostensible members of the press killed in Gaza, before flipping them to reveal their role as combatants.

“The same propaganda campaign was repeated here by New York City’s mayor. Mr. [Zohran] Mamdani stood before a crowd… He said Israel killed an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah,” Dano said.
“Mr. Mamdani, we have the video, we have the evidence. This is Ahmed Wishah, the one that you condemned us for eliminiating,” he said, flipping the photo to show Wishah sporting a jihadist headband and a rifle. “A Hamas terrorist, a sniper in Hamas’s military wing.”
The envoy went on: “This is the machine. Hamas makes a claim, the NGO ecosystem, rapporteurs, briefers, all repeat the lies. Then a UN report rubber-stamps it, the world’s media broadcasts it, and Israel is condemned before the facts are even checked.”
[IsraelTimes] Following a Times of Israel investigation that found multiple Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives were previously identified as journalists, the Committee to Protect Journalists says it is conducting a “full review” of its database of journalists killed during the war in Gaza.
The Times of Israel examined hundreds of names published in recent months on official Hamas and PIJ military-wing Telegram channels and affiliated accounts, identifying multiple operatives who had previously been reported as media workers and other civilians.
“CPJ has always been clear that we do not include anyone in our data sets if there is evidence that they were engaging in combat or inciting imminent violence,” CPJ CEO Jodie Ginsberg says in a statement, adding that the organization “condemns in no uncertain terms the misrepresentation of combatants as journalists or media workers.”
The review is expected to be completed in July.

CPJ says it has already removed eight names from its database after determining the individuals were Hamas or PIJ combatants, along with 12 others removed for unrelated reasons. The organization’s tally of journalists and media workers “killed by Israel in Gaza and in Israeli detention centers” since October 7, 2023, now stands at 209.
Scare quotes mine. This is all about process, not progress. President Trump gave them an opportunity to make things happen, but they prefer talking pointlessly.
[IsraelTimes] With disarmament talks stalled, committee of Palestinian technocrats tasked with replacing Hamas remains outside Strip, attending workshops on how they’ll govern if or when they enter
Representatives from the various US-led Board of Peace bodies involved in the postwar management of 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... are meeting this week in Cyprus, as they seek to prepare a committee of Paleostinian technocrats for entering the Strip in order to replace Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... as governors of the war-ravaged enclave.
While an Arab diplomat from one of the mediating countries and a Paleostinian official familiar with the matter characterized the Cyprus gathering as an opportunity to "recalibrate" the initiative after a rocky first six months, a Board of Peace official insisted last week that the meeting would be routine and that the process is largely moving along according to plan.
Indeed, the Board of Peace held a previously unreported additional workshop last week at the Egyptian coastal town of Ain Sokhna, which was attended by the entire panel of Paleostinian technocrats, formally known as the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).
The NCAG was unveiled in January — along with several other Board of Peace bodies — and its dozen-plus members subsequently moved from Gaza and the West Bank to a hotel in Cairo, where they have been readying plans for replacing Hamas. The terror group led the October 7, 2023, invasion and massacre in southern Israel, sparking two years of war.
While no date was ever announced for when the NCAG would enter Gaza, one member of the panel acknowledged mounting frustration, saying that they did not expect the transition to be as lengthy as it has been.
The NCAG member spoke on condition of anonymity, as the US-controlled Board of Peace has barred members from speaking to the media. NCAG chief commissioner Ali Shaath did a small number of interviews shortly after his appointment, but since then has largely avoided the public eye.
The Board of Peace’s Gaza envoy Nickolay Mladenov has insisted that the main obstacle preventing the NCAG from entering Gaza is Hamas’s refusal to give up its weapons.
A diplomat from each of the Mideastern mediating countries — Egypt, Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... , and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... — acknowledged that Hamas has sought to drag out negotiations on the issue. However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... they also argued that Israel’s refusal to adhere to the terms of the first phase of the October 2025 Gaza ceasefire has posed a major obstacle as well. They added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has been increasingly uncooperative as the fall Knesset elections approach and that there is little hope for a breakthrough until after that vote is held.
In the meantime, NCAG members hold frequent meetings with foreign diplomats in Cairo and have undergone several training sessions run by senior Board of Peace official Tony Blair’s Institute for Global Change government consulting firm (TBI).
Blair himself, along with roughly eight TBI staffers, is slated to participate in the Cyprus "strategic workshop" running from Tuesday to Thursday.
The Times of Israel revealed earlier this month that Blair has taken on a larger role in the Board of Peace, given the quantity of resources that his institute is able to provide.

[REGNUM.RU] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his intention to appeal to the US authorities amid threatening rhetoric from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. This was reported on June 28 by The Times of Israel, Israel's largest online publication.
During a cabinet meeting, the Israeli prime minister emphasized that the Jewish state's leadership takes such unfriendly statements extremely seriously. He did not specify which specific quote from the Turkish leader he was referring to. According to Netanyahu, Washington must pay close attention to Ankara's position.
"Hardly a day goes by without Erdogan calling for the destruction of Israel. We take these words very seriously, because if there's one thing our nation's history has taught us, it's that when someone says they intend to destroy you, you should take their words seriously," the prime minister said.
Relations between Ankara and Tel Aviv have entered a phase of open diplomatic and legal confrontation. Earlier, Erdoğan once again sharply criticized the Israeli prime minister's actions amid the conflict in the Gaza Strip. The Turkish leader compared Netanyahu's policies to those of historical tyrants. According to Erdoğan, the current Israeli administration is a source of instability in the Middle East.
The Turkish justice system also served as a pretext for the escalating rhetoric. In April, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office filed an indictment against Netanyahu and several high-ranking Israeli officials. Turkish prosecutors have demanded a life sentence for the Israeli prime minister on genocide charges. The Israeli leader faces additional prison terms that could total nearly 4,600 years.
[IsraelTimes] Speaking at a conference on “The Druze in the Middle East, between crisis and hope,” at Western Galilee College in Acre, Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif, the religious leader of Israel’s Druze community, calls on America and Europe to “stop the quiet massacre that is continuing in Sweida, Syria.”
He says that in 2025, “thousands of Druze were killed, hundreds were kidnapped, women and children were raped.”
“There are still 500,000 Druze trapped in 30 villages in Syria and nobody in the world is talking about it,” he says.
“America and Europe don’t understand terrorism,” Tarif says. “The leaders in Damascus are jihadists. But the Druze are still surviving there. They will not surrender.”
[IsraelTimes] Strait of Hormuz traffic slowed over the weekend after a vessel was struck while transiting the waterway on Saturday, and a fresh exchange of strikes between the United States and Iran strained their preliminary deal to end the conflict.
In total, 29 commodity vessels crossed on Saturday and 12 transited on Sunday, according to data from the maritime tracking firm Kpler.
Sunday’s figures mark a sharp decline from last week, when a memorandum of understanding signed by Tehran and Washington on June 15 boosted traffic through the strait to its highest level since the start of the US-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic, reaching 70 crossings on Wednesday, according to Kpler.
Despite Iran’s warning against using unapproved shipping lanes, vessels continued to take several routes through the waterway over the weekend.
The website tracks only vessels with active transponders, meaning additional ships may have crossed with their signals switched off.
More ships entered the Gulf over the weekend than departed, reversing a trend seen over the previous week, when efforts focused on evacuating seafarers stranded in the Gulf.
A UN-led operation to evacuate 11,000 seafarers was suspended on Thursday after a vessel was struck in the Gulf of Oman.
Four tankers and a container ship used the southern Omani corridor to enter the Gulf yesterday, escorted by US Navy vessels, according to a post on X by HFI Research.
No vessels used that corridor to exit the Gulf yesterday, according to Kpler.
Total figures may rise further as crossings are identified retrospectively, notably through satellite imagery.
Not really their decision, but let them screech if it makes them feel better.
[IsraelTimes] The removal of mines from the Strait of Hormuz is to be carried out solely by Iran according to the Islamabad MoU between Tehran and Washington, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi says in a post on X, in response to French President Macron’s comments on the subject.
Emmanuel Macron said earlier that France and Oman are working together to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East and will cooperate with their partners on clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz.
“Demining is carried out solely by Iran and by no other country, and we fundamentally do not permit any such thing,” Gharibabadi says. “The situation is sensitive and complex. We strongly advise France not to complicate it further with its provocations.”
[IsraelTimes] Previously withheld attachment to deal inked last week conditions phased IDF withdrawal on ‘successful completion of agreed upon and verifiable disarmament and dismantlement process’
The following is the full text of the security annex of the Trilateral Framework agreement between the United States, Israel and Lebanon, which was signed in Washington, DC, on June 26, 2026. The annex was not publicly released with the rest of the text, but the Asharq Bloomberg news site published a copy of it on Monday. The text’s veracity was confirmed to The Times of Israel by two officials familiar with the matter. The annex is accompanied by a map of the two pilot zones from which Israel has agreed to withdraw.
1. Pilot Zones Designation: The parties will immediately designate and launch the initial pilot zone in the South Litani Sector in an agreed upon military planning process using a four-step model:
Clearance, taking legal measures against all non-state armed personnel engaging in unauthorized activity, and destroy or render inoperable associated infrastructure, including but not limited to weapons, weapons caches, tunnels, and command centers, by those non-state armed groups.
Verification of clearance of all non-state armed groups and their military infrastructure by a mutually agreed-upon third-party entity.
Presence of highly-qualified Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) that assume and maintain sole operational control, to prevent any resurgence of non-state armed activity.
The Lebanese state leads reconstruction efforts, supported by international assistance and coordinated through the political track.
2. Implementation and Verification: The LAF will lead the implementation of this model with success measured by verifiable implementation of the disarmament and dismantlement process to be agreed upon within this negotiation framework.
Israel and Lebanon will establish the Military Coordination Group for Lebanon (MCG4L), tasked with the mission to operate 24/7, managing deconfliction, verification, and overall implementation. This cell will report to the respective political authorities of Israel and Lebanon via indirect military-to-military channels between Israel and Lebanon. Ongoing verification will occur simultaneously with clearing operations.
3. Security Commitments: The LAF commits to take necessary operational measures to ensure the disarmament of Hezbollah and all other non-state armed groups, and that they have no military role or capability within Lebanon.
4. Sequenced Redeployment: Pending successful completion of an agreed upon and verifiable disarmament and dismantlement process, Israel commits to a phased, conditions-based, progressive reduction and eventual redeployment of its forces from Lebanese territory, planned and sequenced through the MCG4L, to coincide with LAF deployment.
5. Desired Outcome: As part of the broader effort relating to the disarmament and dismantlement of all non-state armed groups as mutually agreed upon within this negotiation framework, restore full Lebanese state authority throughout Lebanon and ensure the long-term security of Israel.
6. Oversight and Dispute Resolution: The parties, with US facilitation, will conduct periodic reviews of the implementation and may amend this Annex by mutual agreement. Any disputes regarding its interpretation or execution will be resolved through trilateral discussions.
[ACLEDDATA.COM] ACLED’s Middle East Research Manager Muaz Al Abdullah comments on the strategic shift in ISIL’s targeting patterns following the fall of the Assad regime.
by Muaz Al Abdullah
Middle East Research Manager
On 20 June 2026, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) killed two members of the Syrian army in the village of Salha in Manbij countryside. This attack came after a series of three other attacks that targeted the Syrian army and police forces in June: on a fuel tanker near Manbij, and on government personnel in Damascus and Raqqa. The Raqqa attack on a police headquarters on 15 June involved suicide explosive belts — a tactic used for the first time since December — killing two ISIL members, two police officers, and injuring three others. This targeted assault on a fortified facility allowed ISIL to assess government readiness, signaling a phase of active preparation, rebuilding supply networks, and recruitment.
Muaz Al Abdullah, Middle East Research Manager at ACLED, said:
“ISIL's decision to target this fortified security facility in the western sector of the city suggests that the group was seeking to achieve both symbolic and tactical objectives. Had the attack been directed against less protected security positions on the outskirts of the city or in rural areas, it could have resulted in significantly higher casualties. Instead, ISIL appears to have intended to demonstrate its capability to strike hardened security targets, thereby projecting strength and resilience. Such messaging is likely to play an important role in the group’s recruitment efforts.
“This comes as ACLED records 83 political violence events involving ISIL between 1 January and 20 June 2026:
