Hopefully we will soon learn who ambushed them, but given that nond of the bad guys wear uniforms, it’s hard to know just by looking.
[GaroweOnline] An armed confrontation broke out on Saturday near Leego after groups of Somali government forces recently returned from Aw-Yasin Jameeco attempted to approach the conflict zone, according to military sources.
The groups were reportedly seeking to reach the area as part of efforts to search for individuals believed to have been maimed and possibly left behind during previous fighting.
The troops, many of whom had received advanced military training, were caught in an ambush, resulting in casualties, the sources said. The soldiers subsequently withdrew towards Balidogle and areas on the outskirts of Wanlaweyn.
The incident comes amid delays to a planned operation in Banooda. Last week, reports indicated that the operation had been postponed, and the federal government acknowledged the delay on Monday, attributing it to changing weather conditions.
The latest confrontation raises further questions about the timing of the operation and the security situation around Leego and nearby areas.
The military sources did not provide details on the number of casualties or identify those responsible for the ambush. The circumstances of the confrontation could not be independently verified.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A huge skyscraper in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh has been damaged after an air strike by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
Windows were blown out on several floors of the building owned by a Saudi oil giant, Aramco, in the financial district of the city.
A state source from the country's energy ministry said that debris from an intercepted missile caused damage to the tower.
The missile had been intended to hit the building, but Saudi air defences intercepted the missile in the early hours.
The strike caused 'limited' damage and no one was injured or killed in the attack, the source said.
However, the strikes marked another escalation in the conflict between the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen and the Kingdom.
Video footage from Riyadh showed smoke rising from the tower, a landmark edifice known as Villas in the Sky.
The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, as Saudi Arabia becomes another battleground in the wider US and Israeli war against Iran.
Schools in the kingdom had resumed in-person classes on Sunday after weeks of home learning and several Saudi government agencies returned to in-office work, which had been suspended after earlier Houthi attacks.
The Houthis have ramped up strikes on Aramco facilities in recent weeks, including the oil giant's headquarters in Dhahran in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen said air defences also intercepted a Houthi missile on Sunday in the province, where most of the oil and gas reserves of the world's largest crude exporter lie.
It said they had also destroyed two ballistic missile launchers in Saada used by the Houthis in the Sunday attack on Riyadh.
The renewed fighting between the Houthis and the coalition backing Yemen's internationally recognized government intensified after the group advanced in September toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a strategic shipping chokepoint on the other side of the Arabian Peninsula from the Strait of Hormuz.
The Houthis have since stepped up missile and drone attacks on Saudi ports and airports, including Riyadh's international airport.
The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said the airport was targeted in Sunday's attacks, but there was no confirmation from Saudi authorities.
A strike on the airport in October killed 13 people and wounded more than 300.
In response to the attacks, Saudi Arabia has been carrying out air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.
The latest escalation comes a day after Yemen's Houthi-run health ministry said Saudi airstrikes killed at least 33 people near Sanaa. Saudi authorities said they were investigating.
The kingdom, a key US ally, has also been requesting assistance from the US as well as countries in Europe and the Middle East, for both defensive and offensive support against the Yemeni group.
Britain said in October it would fly fighter jets on defensive missions to help protect Saudi cities from Houthi aerial attacks.
Saudi Arabia has pursued the diplomatic route as well, with top officials from Riyadh, Ankara and Islamabad meeting with Iranian officials in Tehran last month.
Tehran later said talks with Riyadh were continuing to seek new regional security arrangements that would exclude foreign military involvement.
The Iranian Houthi militia is losing nearly a thousand of its fighters every day.
Losing 1,000 dead daily amounts to depleting the human reserves that give the Houthi militia its advantage.
Areas under Houthi militia control are seeing a lack of interest in joining as fighters for a monthly salary of 50 dollars, making this the cheapest blood in 4,600 years.
The Houthi militia says the dead are still Yemenis, not members of the Hashemite family. This is a good sign, meaning they are willing to kill all of Yemen’s rabble.
[IsraelTimes] Group called ‘Peacefully Against Genocide’ claims responsibility, was behind similar actions in the past; tens of thousands rally in Amsterdam to ‘stop the genocide’
A man replaced the large German flag flying outside the Reichstag building in Berlin, which houses the German parliament, with a Palestinian flag on Sunday, the latest in a string of such incidents at European landmarks.
The man climbed a large pole, more than 28 meters (92 feet) high, to swap out the Flag of Unity, which symbolizes Germany’s 1990 reunification. The Paleostinian flag remained atop the mast for about an hour until authorities were able to remove it.
The German publication Bild said the man and two accomplices were arrested.
Peacefully Against Genocide, a German anti-Israel, pro-Paleostinian group, grabbed credit for the action. It referenced the German government’s longstanding support for Israel.
"Today we raised the Paleostinian flag in front of the German Bundestag," the group wrote on Instagram, using the name of Germany’s parliament. "Governments worldwide do not act in the name of the people when they remain silent about, condone, or support the genocide in Paleostine. We will call this genocide by its name, make it visible, and oppose it with our resistance."
The group was also responsible for an incident a year ago that saw activists illegally scale the Brandenburg Gate, an iconic Berlin landmark, to display a banner reading, "Never again genocide. Freedom for Paleostine," and wave Paleostinian flags. Video from the scene showed the activists chanting "Yalla, yalla, intifada."
The pro-Paleostinian activists in that instance reached the top of the monument using a cherry picker. Police announced that 75 officers were deployed, and rescue climbers were utilized to detain the protesters. Six activists were detained for that action.
Elsewhere in Europe, activists have flown the Paleostinian flag from Big Ben in London, and, alongside an Israeli flag, at the Eiffel Tower in Gay Paree.
THOUSANDS IN AMSTERDAM RALLY TO ’STOP THE GENOCIDE’ Meanwhile,
...back at the alley, Bugs Moroni was holding Slats from behind while his brother Greasy Thumb was pounding his face into paste ... on Sunday, tens of thousands of people dressed in red thronged the streets of Amsterdam to denounce ongoing violence 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... , carrying signs reading, "Stop the genocide."
Organizers said some 200,000 people attended the "red line" protest, demanding that the Dutch government take action against Israel.
"Stop sending weapons to Israel," one of the protesters, Steven Eisinger, a 33-year-old robotics engineer originally from the United States, told the AFP, wearing a red scarf around his neck.
"I’m Jewish myself, I have family that’s actually in Israel, living, and I wanted to really say, look, I support Paleostine and I’m anti-genocide," he said.
Lovely. If only he understood that wanting to commit suicide himself does not justify working toward the deaths of the great mass of Jews.
Unlike other European countries such as La Belle France and Belgium, the Netherlands has not recognized the State of Paleostine.
But at the end of September, the Dutch government banned products from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which most of the world considers illegal under international law. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar revoked the accreditation of Dutch diplomats in response.
The Netherlands also has withdrawn from the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest, with public broadcaster NPO citing the "sensitive" issue of Israel’s participation.
Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten attended a similar protest when he was a parliamentary candidate in 2025. On Friday, he told news hounds that it would now be "inappropriate" for him to take part.
Berlin Protesters Demand Germany Halt Arms Exports to Israel
November 8, 2026
[KhaamaPress] Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of Berlin on November 7, demanding an end to the war, a halt to German arms exports to Israel and the release of Palestinian prisoners. The Berlin protest marked the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, the 1917 British statement supporting the establishment of a national home for Jewish people in Palestine, Al Jazeera reported.
The demonstration brought renewed attention to Germany’s military exports to Israel, which have faced criticism from pro-Palestinian activists and human rights organisations. Protesters called on the German government to stop supplying weapons to Israel and take action over the conflict and the situation of Palestinian prisoners.
The demands come as Germany remains one of Israel’s major arms suppliers. Germany approved nearly €800 million in arms exports to Israel during the first half of 2026, according to figures from the German Economy Ministry reported by public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk on July 15.
Israel ranked sixth among the recipients of German arms exports during that period. The approved exports were part of nearly €13.9 billion in total German arms export licences issued during the first six months of 2026, more than four times the amount approved during the same period in 2025.
Germany’s military support for Israel has become a contentious issue, particularly since the war in Gaza began following the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023. Berlin has faced criticism over its arms export policy while maintaining its longstanding commitment to Israel’s security.
The Balfour Declaration, issued on November 2, 1917, was a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Jewish community leader Lord Rothschild. It expressed the British government’s support for establishing a national home for Jewish people in Palestine, while also stating that the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities should not be prejudiced.
The declaration became a major historical reference point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Palestinians and their supporters have long criticised the document, arguing that it disregarded the political rights and aspirations of the Arab population living in Palestine.
[IsraelTimes] Prosecutors say 19-year-old planned to kill or injure people in Halmstad; security service warns of youth radicalization online.
A 19-year-old man in Sweden has been charged with planning a knife attack on a high school in the name 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.... (IS) jihadist group, prosecutors said Friday.
The young man planned to wound or kill people at a high school in the southern Swedish town of Halmstad between March 1 and April 13, the prosecution service said in a statement.
He has been charged with "belonging to a terrorist organization" and "public incitement to terrorism."
The man was arrested in April, the statement added. It did not identify him.
Deputy chief prosecutor Henrik Olin said in the statement that he could prove "the perpetrator had a direct terrorist intent."
AFP was not able to immediately verify whether the accused was a student at the school, nor his nationality.
The trial is scheduled to begin on November 19 and last four days.
The Swedish Security Service (Sapo), which conducted the preliminary investigation, said the accused had "consumed and disseminated violent mostly peaceful Islamist propaganda online."
He "stated that he was willing to swear allegiance to IS, and urged others to spread the terrorist organization’s message," Sapo said in a statement.
The group calling itself Islamic State mounted numerous attacks across Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... from 2014, but US-led forces virtually wiped it out in its strongholds in Iraq in 2017 and Syria in 2019.
Sapo’s head of operations Fredrik Hallstrom said traditional terrorist organizations’ ability to direct attacks against countries in Europe had decreased.
"The primary threat of attacks now comes from individuals who act on their own against easily accessible targets using simple means, such as bladed weapons," he said.
[KhaamaPress] Ottoman Turkish police have detained 63 Afghan nationals and arrested a suspected migrant smuggler in the eastern province of Hakkari as authorities continue operations against irregular migration, Ottoman Turkish media reported on Sunday.
According to a statement from the Hakkari provincial governor’s office, police arrested the Afghans while they were attempting to enter The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... member, but not the most reliable... irregularly. The suspected organiser, accused of arranging their transportation, was also detained during an operation coordinated with the provincial chief prosecutor’s office.
The suspected smuggler was referred to a court and subsequently remanded in jug, while the 63 Afghan nationals will be transferred to the neighbouring province of Agri for further legal and administrative procedures, authorities said.
The arrests come amid an intensified crackdown on irregular migration across Turkey. Ottoman Turkish immigration figures show that authorities detained 33,341 Afghan nationals during the first 10 months of 2026, making Afghans the largest group among undocumented migrants colonists apprehended in the country.
More than 120,000 foreign nationals were detained across Turkey between January and October, according to the Directorate General of Migration Management. The United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... has also reported that Turkey deported more than 13,000 Afghans during the first five months of 2026, highlighting the continuing pressure on Afghan migrants colonists and the risks of detention and forced return.

More than 120,000 foreign nationals were detained across Turkey between January and October, while 11,089 people were apprehended on suspicion of involvement in human trafficking and migrant smuggling. The migration authority did not specify how many Afghan detainees were subsequently deported, released or remained in immigration detention.
The United Nations previously reported that Turkey deported more than 13,000 Afghan nationals during the first five months of 2026. The continuing deportations have raised concerns about the situation of Afghan migrants colonists facing forced returns to a country grappling with humanitarian and economic challenges.
[KhaamaPress] At least two Afghan refugees have been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Sacramento region, raising fears among Afghan community members as the Trump administration faces legal challenges over plans to deport Afghan nationals, according to advocacy groups cited by KCRA 3.
The reported detentions come amid a broader federal deportation plan involving roughly 150 Afghan nationals held in US immigration custody. Court documents cited by the News Agency that Dare Not be Named indicate that the administration planned to send some detainees to Pakistain, with onward transportation to Afghanistan. Advocacy groups have warned that those returned could face retaliation from Taliban ...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan... authorities, particularly people who worked with US forces or other Western organizations.
The proposed deportations prompted a response from more than 60 members of Congress. Led by Democratic Representative Scott Peters of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and Senator Chris Van Hollen ...senior United States senator-for-life from the bluest county in Maryland, a seat he has held since 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, natch, he was congressman for Maryland's 8th congressional district from 2003 to 2017 and as a Maryland state senator from 1995 to 2003, a total of NaN years. That was after ten years as an apprentice to aanother politician. In April of '25 he showboated off to El Salvador in an attempt to rescue an MS-13 gangster from durance vile. Other than that he's been mostly a party line voter and non-entity.... , politicians sent a joint letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio ...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration... and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin urging the administration to cancel deportation flights carrying Afghans and Iranians, including removals through third countries. The politicians warned that those returned could face persecution, torture or death.
Shawn VanDiver, founder and president of AfghanEvac, said he brought the deportation plans to Peters’ attention. He said those affected included people who had served alongside American forces and had placed their trust in the United States. Representative Doris Matsui also expressed concern that relatives of Afghans who supported US forces were among those facing removal, saying some had lost protected status under the administration’s policies, according to KCRA.
Nesar Ahamad, a former interpreter for US troops in Afghanistan and a member of the Afghan American Alliance, said the proposed deportations had left him deeply concerned. "I’m frustrated because anyone on that flight could be me," he told KCRA, warning that Afghans who came to the United States expecting safety could be sent back to people they had helped US forces fight.
A federal judge in New York temporarily blocked the administration’s planned deportations to Afghanistan or Pakistain earlier this month. A subsequent court order on November 6 extended protections for a specifically identified group of Afghan nationals, requiring advance notice before any proposed removal to Afghanistan, Pakistain or another country. The order does not establish a blanket prohibition on ICE arrests or detentions, and available information does not confirm whether the two people reportedly detained in Sacramento are covered by it.
KCRA said it contacted both DHS and ICE about the reported detentions and deportation plans. DHS responded that it "follows all lawful court orders." The report did not establish the identities, immigration status or current locations of the two people reportedly detained in Sacramento.
[Dawn] An assistant head of the police’s Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) was martyred after an improvised bomb (IED) went off in the Janta area of Sararogha tehsil in Upper South Wazoo district on Saturday while he was attempting to defuse it.
Upper South Waziristan district police officer (DPO) Ashfaq Khan told Dawn that the official, identified as Abdul Jabbar, was busy defusing the IED when a kaboom occurred, leaving him seriously injured. He later departed this vale of tears.
Police sources said that Jabbar had successfully defused an IED planted in the area before the earth-shattering kaboom. However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat... another bomb went off when he was attempting to neutralise it.
According to police sources, the second device was suspected to have been planted by bully boyz to target the BDS. However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat... the circumstances surrounding the incident were being investigated.
Police sources told Dawn that the Sararogha cop shoppe SHO, along with a contingent, rushed to the site after receiving information about the blast.
The police team inspected the area, collected evidence and launched an investigation into the incident.
The incident comes amid a persistent surge in terrorist attacks in Upper and Lower South Waziristan districts over the past two years.
Personnel of the police, security forces and civilians have increasingly come under attack in the two districts, raising serious concerns about the deteriorating law and order in the region.
The martyrdom of the BDS official has once again highlighted the risks faced by personnel involved in defusing IEDs and other kabooms in the terrorism-hit tribal districts.
Abdul Jabbar’s death is another loss for the police force, particularly those engaged in dangerous operations to prevent bombs from causing casualties among residents and security personnel.
On the same day, an incident was reported in Toi Khulla Bazaar in Lower South Waziristan district, where an unidentified person wearing a burqa threw a hand grenade near the place where police personnel were seated. However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat... the grenade failed to explode.
Police sources told Dawn that the unidentified suspect managed to flee the scene.
... as though they had never been... after the incident. His identity could not be established as he was wearing a burqa.
[IsraelTimes] Police say some detainees backed BDS and sought to produce ‘anti-Israel media campaigns’; Palestinian group says settlers held the activists before they were arrested
Fourteen "anti-Israel" foreigners are facing deportation after they were arrested alongside three Paleostinians in the central West Bank on suspicion of disturbing public order, police said Sunday.
During the detainees’ interrogation, it emerged that they intended to produce "anti-Israel media campaigns," and that some of them support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, police said, adding that the investigation of the three Paleostinians is ongoing.
Israel has restricted the entry of foreign BDS activists for years. A law passed in 2017 allows authorities to deny entry to foreign nationals who publicly call for a boycott of Israel or work on behalf of organizations that advocate such boycotts, including boycotts targeting West Bank settlements. The law does not apply to Israeli citizens or permanent residents.
Israeli forces detained the 17 people during an olive harvest on Friday in the Ramallah-area village of Kafr Ni’ma, according to Paleostinian activist group Faz3a. The activist group said the detainees included 12 foreign volunteers, two foreign journalists, two Paleostinian landowners and a Paleostinian Faz3a activist.
The group claimed settlers attacked them and "held them against their will until soldiers and police arrived" and made the arrests.
Footage published by settler activists showed some of the detainees boarding a Mateh Binyamin Development Company bus.
Mateh Binyamin is the Hebrew name for the area’s settler municipal authority. The settler activists said the municipal authority itself sent the bus to transport the detainees to the cop shoppe in the city-settlement of Modiin Illit after the "planned harvest provocation adjacent to the settlement of Sde Efraim."
The detentions came amid a series of similar incidents during this year’s olive harvest.
On November 1, police said 13 foreign nationals had been deported after allegedly violating a closed military zone order near the Ramallah-area village of Lubban al-Gharbiya while assisting Paleostinians with the olive harvest.
Their lawyer, Alon Sapir, told The Times of Israel that the group consisted of 15 foreign nationals who had come to assist Paleostinians with the olive harvest. When soldiers arrived at the scene, they presented the group with a closed military zone order that they said had been issued for the area that same day.
On October 21, Israeli forces detained more than 70 foreign and Israeli activists who had joined Paleostinians harvesting olives in the West Bank, including US congressional candidate Brad Lander, who has since been elected to Congress

[IsraelTimes] Judiciary says ‘several’ officers killed in assault by Mohammad Aref Shahbakhsh, who was an operative linked to terrorist group Jaish al-Zolm/Jaish al-Adl.
Jaish al-Adl is an outlawed militant group in Sistan-Baluchistan province, one of Iran’s poorest, which has long seen clashes between security forces and armed groups, including Sunni militants and members of the ethnic Baloch minority.
Iran accuses the United States and Israel of supporting armed groups there.
“The attack on Qaleh Bid police station in Khash city in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan resulted in the martyrdom and injury of several police personnel,” the judiciary’s media noted without specifying the date of the attack.
Shahbakhsh was convicted of “baghi (armed rebellion against the Islamic state) and moharebeh (waging war against God) for his role in the armed attack on the station,” Mizan said.
Clashes between armed groups and Iranian security forces in the region have flared again in recent months.

Interesting: Pakistan is closing a critical land trade corridor with Iran as the United States expands its blockade of the Islamic Republic.
We waited to do this deliberately. It was strategic. We let the naval blockade start to crush Iran’s ability to get goods in/out & shut down its income. We knew they would adapt to overland routes for everything they could, & whats left of their entire economy would become 100% dependent on those routes.
Now they just vanished overnight.
You know what the best part of this is? The land routes— rail lines & roads— both depend on key bridges & in some cases mountain passes….extremely vulnerable to being closed long term by air attack. And any efforts to repair damage to those key choke points or clear them are also highly vulnerable to air attack.
And there’s lots of options for the Caspian sea, too.
And now that the midterms are over, Iran doesn’t have anything left it can leverage.
