[IsraelTimes] Two New York City synagogues were targeted overnight Thursday-Friday “with motor oil and feces,” says New York State Assemblymember Nily Rozic.
Rozic, an American-Israeli, represents part of eastern Queens in the state government.
Rozic says the incidents are “another outrageous example of the sustained hate faced by our community.”
The NYPD confirms that a suspect “threw a bag of motor oil” onto the exterior of a building at the address of an Orthodox synagogue in Queens.
The police were alerted to the incident yesterday afternoon, the NYPD says, adding that the police’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.
An NYPD spokesperson says there is no additional information currently available.
Details of reports from NYPD precincts sometimes take time to reach police headquarters.

Just think how sick and perverted, even a Liberal, Socialist, Democrat or Islamist has to be, to collect $hit, carry it around and then handle it to toss it.
Then remember the collectors and tossers will be hugged and their hands shaken for doing it the $hity deed.
Just another reason for always keeping a safe distance from the strange ones.
[KhaamaPress] Badakhshan uthorities said they retook a district in Afghanistan’s Badakhshan province after an overnight attack claimed by an anti-Kabul administraion.
Badakhshan authorities said on Friday they had regained control of Yaftal-e Payin district in northeastern Badakhshan province after an overnight attack, following earlier claims by an anti-Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... gang that it had briefly seized the district.
Police spokesperson Ehsanullah Kamgar said the attack occurred while several Taliban fighters and commanders were on leave. He said reinforcements returned within hours and restored control over the district.
Kamgar said Taliban authorities arrested seven people in connection with the incident and seized weapons and military equipment. He did not identify those detained or specify which gang was responsible for the attack.
Following the incident, Taliban army chief of staff Fasihuddin Fitrat traveled to Badakhshan and said security forces would take action against anyone attempting to destabilize the province.
Local residents said security measures were tightened in Yaftal-e Payin after Fitrat’s visit and alleged that some civilians were harassed during subsequent security operations.
Earlier on Friday, local sources said the Maihan Soldiers Front,
… Sepahian-e-Maihan (literally "soldiers of country"), which seems to have newly appeared in the landscape…
an armed group, had briefly taken control of the district and raised its flag over government buildings. Badakhshan has witnessed periodic festivities between security forces and gangs since the Taliban returned to power in August 2021.
[IsraelTimes] IDF says Gaza City strike which health officials say killed family of 5 targeted Hamas operative and infrastructure; army also says two operatives killed in strikes a day earlier
Israeli strikes 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... City on Saturday killed at least ten Paleostinians, including three children, according to hospital officials in the coastal enclave.
A strike on an apartment in the Nasr neighborhood killed at least five people, two adults and three children between the ages of 8 and 18, said Mohammed Abu Selmiya, director of Shifa Hospital, where the bodies were taken.
The victims were a family of five, according to the territory’s Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... -linked civil defense agency, which operates as a rescue service. "The family’s only surviving member is one child, who was not inside the house at the time of the strike," Mahmoud Bassal, front man for the agency, told AFP.
Six other people were maimed, including four children between the ages of 8 and 16, health officials said.
The Israeli military said it targeted Hamas infrastructure and had located Hamas operatives in the area, without elaborating.
Another Israeli strike hit a group of people in the Zeitoun neighborhood, killing four and wounding another critically, health officials said.
The IDF said it targeted a Hamas operative and was looking into the results of the strike.
Health officials reported at least one other death elsewhere in the Strip.
IDF SAYS TWO OPERATIVES KILLED FRIDAY Meanwhile,
...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo watched the circling Commanches and asked himself What would Geronimo do?... the IDF announced Saturday that it killed two Paleostinian terror operatives in strikes the previous day.
One strike in central Gaza killed Imam Khamis Akasha Abu Brikh, identified by the IDF as a sniper operative in Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... Brikh had acted to advance sniper attacks on Israeli troops in the Strip, the military said.
A separate strike in northern Gaza killed Muhammad Taysir Ahmad Ubeid, who, according to the IDF, served in Hamas’s operations division. Ubeid also tried to advance attacks on troops, the IDF said.
Both operatives had "posed an immediate threat" to Israeli forces in Gaza, the military said, and they were therefore targeted.
The IDF in recent months has ramped up strikes on terror operatives in Gaza, including numerous October 7 terrorists, insisting almost every time that they posed a threat to Israeli forces. But those strikes have also come with civilian casualties, including women, children and aid workers.
At least 1,100 Paleostinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect in October last year, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. That toll is unverified and does not differentiate between civilians and combatants, though the Israeli military believes that Hamas’s overall figure is largely accurate.
Overall, Hamas says over 73,000 people in the Gaza Strip have been killed since the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel sparked the war in the enclave. The IDF says it has killed over 23,000 combatants in Gaza and another 1,600 bully boyz inside Israel during the October 7 onslaught.
Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas, including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] Renowned military theorist Douglas MacGregor reported that the US has 14,209 missiles after Iran's missile strikes on US bases in Jordan.
The Iranians had earlier claimed to have destroyed two US Air Force fighter jets at an airbase in Jordan and hit various infrastructure and personnel sites. American media subsequently confirmed the presence of 300s. "300" is Russian military jargon for wounded, comports to the logistics of evacuating friendly wounded from a forward zone.
A US 5th Fleet fuel terminal in Bahrain, as well as US bases in Kuwait and Iraq, were also hit.
The exchange of strikes continues. The IRGC addressed the people of Jordan: American service members, declared "mubah ad-dam" (persons whose blood is permissible under Sharia), are with you. It is your religious and human duty to destroy them by any means necessary.
Excerpt from Statement No. 29 of the IRGC Public Relations Office, addressed to the people of Jordan: According to the fatwas of all Islamic scholars of various madhhabs and sects, infidel soldiers who invade Islamic lands are "mubah ad-dam" (persons whose blood is permissible according to Sharia).
Currently, American soldiers declared "mubah ad-dam" (persons whose blood is permissible according to Sharia), responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Afghanistan, hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Iraq, as well as thousands of Muslims in Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, the Philippines, and Palestine, are standing beside you. It is your religious and human duty to destroy them by any means necessary and cleanse the holy land of Jordan of the murderers of oppressed Muslims.
Yesterday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry clarified that the Islamabad agreements no longer exist. P.S./ The photo shows a fire in Kuwait after the strikes. In recent days, several air defense systems, as well as various infrastructure, have been hit there.
🚨 NOW: "Two American servicemembers have been killed, one is still missing after an Iranian missile attack on a base in Jordan." 🙏🏻
President Trump is no doubt monitoring this situation from New Jersey, and the US could respond at any moment
Thankfully, 4 wounded servicemembers have been discharged
Iran has been launching multiple retaliatory strikes following a ramp-up in US strikes against critical IRGC targets
More from regnum.ru Iran strikes US airbase in Jordan
Iranian armed forces struck a troop deployment area at a US airbase in Jordan. This was reported on July 18 by the IRNA news agency.
Several missiles were fired at one of the most important US military and strategic centers in the Middle East. Published footage shows severe damage from the strike. Enormous plumes of smoke are rising above the base. Fires are raging at the impact sites.
Iranian forces also attacked an oil refinery in Kuwait. Several strikes resulted in significant damage to the facility, with casualties.

[IsraelTimes] Following the latest round of talks this week in Rome, 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?... "agreed on the structure and guidelines" for implementing the pilot zones, a US official said.
A Lebanese military source told AFP that the army had begun intensifying patrols in several villages adjacent to areas held by Israeli forces, including Froun in the Bint Jbeil district, in preparation for implementing the pilot zones provision.
Hezbollah held a rally in the coastal city of Tyre on Saturday to reiterate its rejection of the plan.
On Saturday, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported fresh Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s against two towns located on the edge of the security zone, in the Tyre and Nabatieh regions, and a large detonation near the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah.
The Lebanese military said that a soldier was killed, and an officer and another soldier were maimed, "as a result of the earth-shattering kaboom of a suspicious object in an army vehicle" in Mansouri, which was also subjected to several Israeli strikes. However,
a woman is only as old as she admits... the Israeli army said that the bomb had been planted by Hezbollah.Following an examination, "it was determined that the bomb was not an IDF device, but rather one that was apparently planted by the Hezbollah terror organization," it said, adding that Israeli troops had not been present in Mansouri recently, despite it being located within the IDF’s security zone. The Lebanese army vehicle had entered the security zone without prior coordination with the IDF as required, the military said.
The IDF said it was calling on Lebanese civilians and forces "to avoid entering locations where Hezbollah continues to pose a threat, and to coordinate movements in advance as customary, for their own safety."
The IDF said separately that it had struck and killed a cell of Hezbollah operatives piloting a drone over an area of southern Lebanon where Israeli troops are operating. The IDF said troops of the Commando Brigade spotted an enemy drone over Kfar Tebnit earlier Saturday. The Israeli Air Force then launched searches in the area and identified several Hezbollah operatives who were operating the drone while hiding near the security zone. The IAF then struck and killed the Hezbollah operatives "to remove the threat to our forces," the army said.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun left Beirut on Saturday for Washington, where he is expected to meet Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... , his office said, after the latest round of Lebanon-Israel talks wrapped up in Italia.
It will be the first trip to Washington by a Lebanese head of state since Michel Suleiman ...before assuming office as President, he held the position of commander of the Leb Armed Forces. That was after the previous commander, the loathesome Emile Lahoud, took office as president in November of 1998. Likely the next president of Leb will be whoever's commander of the armed forces, too... was received by Barack Obama They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them... in 2009.
Aoun will hold discussions "with several American officials on the situation in Lebanon and ways to strengthen the ceasefire," particularly in the south, as well as on "the withdrawal of Israel from the Lebanese regions it occupies," the presidency said.
Israel and Lebanon — which do not have formal diplomatic relations — began US-sponsored negotiations in April aimed at reaching a peace deal and permanently ending the Israel-Hezbollah war.
On June 26, they reached a framework agreement in Washington under which the Israeli military is to withdraw from southern Lebanon and the Lebanese army is to deploy, starting with two "pilot zones."
The agreement is contingent on the disarmament of Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah, which has flatly rejected the deal and the Israel-Lebanon negotiations.
Following the latest round of talks this week in Rome, Israel and Lebanon "agreed on the structure and guidelines" for implementing the pilot zones, a US official said.
[Ynet] After two US troops were killed and another went missing in an Iranian attack on Jordan, Washington launched fresh strikes on Iran, warned Americans worldwide and sent more jets to the region, as Israel said its response depends on Tehran
The U.S. military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) announced overnight between Saturday and Sunday that, on President Donald Trump’s orders, it had launched a new wave of airstrikes against Iran. According to the statement, “The strikes are intended to further weaken Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and swiftly punish Revolutionary Guard forces that attacked U.S. troops in Jordan.”
Iranian media reported overnight strikes in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Sirik and Hajiabad, while Iran’s military said it launched suicide drones at U.S. targets in Kuwait, including an ammunition depot at Camp Arifjan and radar systems at Ali Al Salem Air Base; separately, security officials told Reuters that an explosive drone was intercepted near the U.S. Consulate in Erbil, Iraq.
Israel is closely monitoring the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran as American forces enter a seventh consecutive day of strikes, but Israeli officials assess that Tehran is seeking to avoid attacking Israel because of the consequences of drawing it directly into the fighting.
For now, U.S. officials have made clear they want Israel to remain on the sidelines. Israel has offered to join the strikes, but Washington has rejected the proposal, according to Israeli officials.
Any Israeli involvement would likely depend on whether Iran attacks Israeli territory. Even so, Israel is preparing for scenarios in which the confrontation expands quickly, and officials say the military has prepared what they described as “surprises” for Tehran.
The preparations intensified after U.S. Central Command announced that two American service members were killed in Jordan while U.S. and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Another service member remains missing.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the United States is reinforcing its fighter presence in the Middle East, sending F-16s from Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany and deploying F-35 stealth fighters from Britain. The aircraft could be used to strike Iranian radar systems linked to surface-to-air missile batteries, the report said.
The United States is also sending additional aerial refueling aircraft to Israel. The IDF confirmed Saturday that the planes would be stationed at Israeli Air Force bases.
“The American partner decided to adjust its force posture in the region, and as part of that move, in coordination with the Israel Defense Forces, it was decided to add more refueling aircraft to the existing force in Israel,” the military said.
The IDF said the tankers would use military bases rather than Ben Gurion International Airport to minimize disruption to civilian transportation and for operational reasons.
Israeli officials said U.S. crews had preferred to stay near Ben Gurion Airport because of its proximity to Tel Aviv, but transportation is being arranged from bases in southern Israel to the city during off-duty hours.
ISRAEL PREPARES TARGET LIST
As U.S. strikes increasingly target Iranian bridges, railway infrastructure and energy facilities, Israel has prepared its own list of potential infrastructure targets.
Israeli officials say that if Washington approves Israeli participation, or if Iran attacks Israel, the military could resume operations it did not complete before the previous ceasefire. The focus would include infrastructure, with the stated aim of accelerating pressure on Iran’s government.
Israel is also preparing for the possibility that Iran could respond through regional allies, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, or through attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets abroad.
“It is possible,” a senior Israeli official said when asked whether Israel could enter the fighting. “The memorandum of understanding is dead, and they are attacking neighboring countries, including Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait.”
“Israel must prepare for the possibility that they will try to attack us,” the official said. “But if they do, they will pay a very heavy price. We will not stop as we did last time.”
Maj. Gen. Majid Mousavi, commander of the Revolutionary Guard’s aerospace force, issued a warning Saturday to Arab governments.
“Rulers of Arab countries, take Iran’s final warning seriously,” he said.
WORLDWIDE U.S. TRAVEL ALERT
The U.S. State Department issued a worldwide security alert after earlier warnings focused on the Middle East, urging American citizens to exercise increased caution around the globe.
The department cited rising tensions in the Middle East and concern that Iran-aligned groups could target U.S. interests and American citizens overseas.
“Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation,” the department said. It noted that U.S. diplomatic facilities had already been targeted and warned that travelers could face flight cancellations and periodic airspace closures.
One of the principal threats under review is the use of drones. Israel is considering tougher regulations and a broad ban on civilian drone operations in an effort to make hostile aircraft easier to detect and intercept.
IRAN ACCUSES US OF BREAKING AGREEMENT
Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei accused Washington of violating the ceasefire agreement between the two countries.
“The violation of the memorandum of understanding once again proved the worthlessness of the U.S. president’s signature,” he said in a written statement.
Calling the United States “the Great Satan,” he added: “Now that the American enemy seeks to incite war, it should know that the Iranian nation and the resistance front have unforgettable lessons in store for it.”
Fighting between Iran and the United States resumed over the past week. American forces have struck Revolutionary Guard military targets as well as civilian infrastructure, while Iran has fired missiles and drones across much of the Middle East but has so far avoided attacking Israel.
Since the fighting resumed, Iran has attacked targets in Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
In addition to strikes on U.S. bases, Iran on Saturday attacked a power generation and water desalination facility in Kuwait and a site operated by Kuwait Petroleum Corp.
The deaths in Jordan were the first U.S. military fatalities reported since the latest round of fighting began. CENTCOM said the two service members were killed while American and partner forces defended against Iranian missiles and drones. One additional service member was listed as missing.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the troops were killed at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, where a U.S. THAAD missile defense system had previously been damaged in March.
According to the report, 16 U.S. service members have been killed since the conflict began Feb. 28.
[IsraelTimes] In addition to more refueling jets, the US is dispatching additional warplanes to the Middle East, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, as fighting with Iran escalates.
The report says the warplanes include F-35 stealth fighters and F-16 jets, which can attack Iranian radars used in launching surface-to-air missiles.

Invade Iran with what? Best guess, based on what I remember of the reporting, is we have maybe a brigade's worth of Marine and Army combat units present in theater. Maybe bring in the 82nd Airborne doing a drop direct from the US or a landing at airport captured by the above mentioned brigade. As good as US troops are, even with complete air support, that doesn't seem a big enough force. Adding additional units would take at least 7-10 days.
I also don't think the country will accept a large scale* US ground attack into Iran.
[Rudaw] 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 Saturday executed a man convicted of killing a member of the security forces during the 2022 nationwide protests that erupted after the death of Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini in police custody, according to state media.
Iranian state media said the sentence against Aref Khoshkar was carried out after "the completion of legal proceedings, confirmation by the Supreme Court, and the formal request of the victim’s next of kin."
Authorities said Khoshkar was responsible for the death of security member Salman Amirahmadi during the protests in Tehran's Fallah neighborhood in 2022.
The execution is the latest linked to the 2022 protests, which spread across Iran after the death of Mahsa (Zhina) Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died in police custody after being arrested for allegedly violating the country's mandatory dress code.
The Woman Life Freedom demonstrations began in Kurdish areas before spreading across Iran.
The state media alleged that "a number of rioters in the Fallah neighborhood of Tehran disrupted public order by creating roadblocks and causing chaos," prompting security forces to intervene to reopen the roads and disperse demonstrators.
It also said Khoshkar had brought a pellet gun to the scene and "fired toward the security forces." During the shooting, Amirahmadi "was severely injured after being hit in the head by pellets" and later died in hospital.
The report added that during the investigation and reconstruction of the incident, Khoshkar "confessed to his presence at the scene and to firing at Martyr Salman Amirahmadi."
In a report published earlier this month, Hengaw Organization for Human Rights said at least 109 prisoners were executed in June, including five political prisoners, among whom two were Kurdish.
According to the rights group, Kurdish prisoners accounted for 18 of the executions carried out in June, while only seven of the 109 executions were officially announced by Iranian authorities. The group also said 12 prisoners were executed without prior notice to their families or a final visit.
