2 Palestinians reported killed by Israeli troops in West Bank; IDF says it is investigating

2025-07-02

[IsraelTimes] In response to reports earlier today by the Palestinian Health Ministry that Israeli forces killed two individuals in separate incidents in the West Bank, including a 15-year-old boy in Ramallah, the IDF issues statements addressing both cases.

Regarding the incident in Ramallah, the military says that during an overnight operation in the central West Bank, several suspects hurled stones at Israeli troops. In response, soldiers fired warning shots into the air. No Israeli forces were injured, and the incident is under investigation.

Life lesson: Don’t throw stones at people with guns, because guns throw bullets back much harder.

In a separate incident near the town of Ramadin, southwest of Dhahiriya, the IDF says troops identified a suspect attempting to cross the security barrier overnight and opened fire in accordance with the rules of engagement. The IDF says the suspect was struck, and the incident is currently under further investigation.

According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, 15-year-old Amjad Nassar Abu Awad was killed in Ramallah, and 24-year-old Samer Bassam Zagharneh was killed near Dhahiriya.

East Jerusalem resident charged with plot to attack hostage families’ protest

[IsraelTimes] Ibrahim Al Ramadi, 22, from Sheikh Jarrah, contacted terror operatives in the West Bank with intent to kill demonstrators at weekly Tel Aviv rally, was arrested September 17

, the Israel Police and Shin Bet announced on Friday.

According to the indictment, filed by the Jerusalem District Attorney’s Office, Ibrahim Al Ramadi, a 22-year-old from Sheikh Jarrah, planned to attack civilian demonstrators at one of the weekly Tel Aviv rallies calling on the government to reach a hostage deal.

The rallies, led by families of hostages, have been held weekly since the Hamas terror group launched its October 7, 2023, attack, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages into Gaza.

Al Ramadi was arrested at his home on September 17, a month before news of the arrest became public.

An image posted to social media by an anti-Israel account days after the suspect’s arrest appeared to match his description.

According to the security forces, the suspect made contact with a Hamas operative for help planning the attack, meant as Dire Revenge for Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas.

He also met with a member of the Tulkarem Brigades terror group for help with the attack, Hebrew media reported, citing the indictment.

The suspect also considered carrying out a shooting attack against soldiers, targeting public transportation, or kidnapping Israelis, Hebrew media reported.

He had written a will and opened a group on social media called "Soldiers of God," for those seeking to carry out terror attacks.

The statement from the police and Shin Bet came just over a week after they announced another foiled plot, in which five Israelis linked to 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.

group sought to bring down the iconic Azrieli Mall in Tel Aviv.

On Tuesday, a policeman was killed and four people were maimed when a terrorist opened fire along the Route 4 highway north of the coastal city of Ashdod.

And last week, a stabbing attack in the central city of Hadera killed six and maimed several more.

Hamas in recent months has also called for a renewal of suicide kabooms, a tactic that killed hundreds of Israelis during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s but has become rare in the decades since, following the construction of a security barrier around the West Bank.

Strip.

The Israel Defense Forces said Sunday morning that it had carried out an overnight ~~Arclight~~ airstrike
...KABOOM!...
with fighter jets against a Hezbollah compound in northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbek. Baalbek, an area identified in the past as a Hezbollah stronghold, is around 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Israeli border. The IDF said the strike came as a response to Hezbollah shooting down a military drone over southern Lebanon on Saturday.

In addition to the compound, the IDF said fighter jets also struck a building used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil, and command rooms in Qana and Baraachit.

On Sunday morning, two explosive-laden drones were launched from Lebanon, striking open areas near the city of Katzrin in the Golan Heights, the military said.

The drones sparked a fire that was extinguished a short while later. The IDF said there were no injuries in the incident.

Hezbollah claimed to have targeted an Iron Dome battery in the area with several explosive drones.

Sirens had sounded throughout the area during the attack, as the military attempted to intercept the devices.

Later on Sunday, a barrage of at least 15 rockets was fired at Katzrin, striking open areas and sparking a large fire south of the city, according to the IDF and the Fire and Rescue Service. There were no reports of injuries in the attack.

Hezbollah claimed to have fired dozens of rockets at an IDF base in the area.

In other barrages on Sunday, 15 rockets were fired at the Kiryat Shmona area, and another eight were launched at the largely evacuated border community of Margaliot. According to the IDF, all of the rockets were intercepted.

Another rocket attack on Kiryat Shmona lightly maimed two people, the municipality said. The city said that at least three impact sites were reported in the city, also resulting in damage.

The military later said it carried out a strike against a building used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon’s Houla, used to launch the attack on Margaliot. Lebanese media claimed that two shepherds were killed in the Houla strike.

In a separate attack, a building in the border community of Metula was damaged by anti-tank missile fire from Lebanon, the IDF said.

Also Sunday, several suspected drones were identified by the IDF as crossing into Israel from Lebanon, heading toward the Nahariya area on the coast. Sirens had sounded in the area amid the incident. Footage purportedly from the area showed an Iron Dome interceptor missile engaging one of the drones.

The IDF said the sirens were triggered after an interceptor missile was launched at "a target suspected of being a suspicious aerial target." The military later said the incident was over and under investigation, without elaborating further on whether or not the apparent drones were intercepted.

Later in the day, another explosive drone was launched from Lebanon toward the northern coastal city, with the IDF reporting that it had attempted to intercept the device. The interception attempts failed, and the drone hit an area in the city, causing a small fire that was being extinguished by firefighters, the military added. It marked the first time amid the war that an explosive drone hit Nahariya.

There were no injuries in both incidents, which Hezbollah did not immediately claim responsibility for.

The IDF said it also launched a strike Sunday against a Hezbollah weapons depot in southern Lebanon’s Mays al-Jabal. The strike was carried out after a Hezbollah operative was spotted entering the site. A short while later, a fighter jet struck the building, the military said. The IDF said secondary blasts were seen after the strike, indicating the site was used to store munitions.

Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war there. So far, the skirmishes on the border have resulted in 10 civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 14 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.

Hezbollah has named 326 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 62 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and dozens of civilians have been killed.

Israel has expressed openness to a diplomatic solution to the conflict, but has threatened to go to war against Hezbollah to restore security to the north of Israel, where tens of thousands of civilians are currently displaced.

On Sunday, the IDF announced that it had completed a war simulation exercise over the past week, as part of preparations for an escalation in northern Israel amid daily attacks by Hezbollah. The drill, carried out by the Northern Command and other General Staff directorates and wings, included "many scenarios that simulate the expansion of the war in the northern arena, and multi-front war scenarios," the military said.

"Two people were martyred in the raid that targeted a car on the Ramadiyeh-Qana road," the official National News agency (NNA) said, after earlier reporting a dronezap.

A rescuer from the Hezbollah-affiliated Islamic Health committee said an Israeli strike on a car in Qana had killed two young men, including a member of the Iran-backed movement.

Hezbollah earlier said it had launched "more than 60" rockets at Israeli military positions in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights in retaliation for overnight strikes that killed a Hezbollah member who Israel said was a field commander.

's Baalbek area, it said in a statement.

The Israeli army later said it had identified about "40 launches" from Lebanon towards the Golan Heights that caused no injuries before striking back at the sources of the fire.

It reported several more attacks from Lebanon on northern Israel, to which it had also responded with strikes.

- TIT-FOR-TAT FIRE -
Earlier, NNA had reported a midnight Israeli raid on the Baalbek area, where Hezbollah holds sway, hours after the group launched an attack deep into Israeli territory.

"The outskirts of the eastern Lebanon mountain range... was subjected to five enemy raids," the agency said, adding that they maimed a Lebanese citizen and caused fires.

A source close to Hezbollah told AFP one of the strikes "hit a Hezbollah military camp".

An Israeli army front man told AFP: "I can confirm that an air strike was indeed conducted deep in Lebanon against a terror target related to Hezbollah's precision missile project".

The area of Baalbek in the Bekaa valley is a Hezbollah bastion, bordering Syria.

ISIS On Cycles Of Violence Attacked Village, Killing 8 Civilians

Suspected extremists on motorbikes have stormed a village north of #Baghdad and killed eight Iraqi civilians, officials say.#Iraq https://t.co/YqID1FAkEE
— Al Arabiya English (@AlArabiya_Eng) December 20, 2022

Suspected extremists on motorbikes stormed a village north of Baghdad late Monday and killed eight Iraqi civilians, officials said.

There was no immediate claim for the attack, but the village was a focus of resistance to ISIS during its lightning advance through swaths of Iraq and neighboring Syria in 2014.

It came a day after ISIS extremists killed nine federal police in an ambush in Kirkuk province further north.

“A group of terrorists on motorbikes attacked the village of Albu Bali from three sides,” the mayor of the district center Al-Khalis, Odai al-Khadran, told Iraq’s official INA news agency.

“The village is inhabited by farmers... dozens of residents mobilized to defend against the terrorist attack,” he said, adding that eight had been killed and three wounded.

An interior ministry official, who asked not to be identified, blamed ISIS for the attack, recalling that villagers had formed a paramilitary group to defend their land against the extremists in 2014.

The defenee ministry said it had sent a high-ranking delegation to Diyala province “to throw light on the circumstance of the criminal action.”

Despite the setbacks, which have left ISIS a shadow of its former self, the group can still call on an underground network of between 6,000 and 10,000 fighters to carry out attacks on both sides of the porous border, a UN report said earlier this year.

Last Wednesday a roadside bomb hit a military vehicle killing three Iraqi soldiers in farmland north of Baghdad, the defense ministry said.

Iraq's CTS kills a prominent ISIS leader in Al-Anbar

2022-11-18

[Shafaq News] On Thursday, Iraq's CounterTerrorism Service (CTS) forces killed the ISIS leader, Hussein Muhammad Jassim al-Issawi, nicknamed "Abu Issa," while he was trying to blow himself up in western Iraq. The spokesperson for the commander in chief of the Armed Forces, Maj. Gen. Yahya Rasool announced.

He said that the terrorist works as an official for booby-trapping in the Ramadi sector of so-called Wilayat al-Anbar (in ISIS terms).

In 2017, Iraq declared victory over ISIS after Iraqi forces drove its last remnants from the country; the war has had a devastating impact on the areas previously controlled by the turbans. About 3.2 million people remain displaced.

Iraqi courts issue eight death sentences by hanging

Four people were handed death sentences by hanging by Anbar Criminal Court on Thursday, accused of detonating a boom-mobile in the city of Ramadi, according to the statement from the council, adding that the men were working with the Islamic State

The explosion occurred in September 2020, leading to serious injuries of three members of the security forces, as well as three civilians.

In a separate case, Najaf Criminal Court sentenced four people to death by hanging on Thursday, for the killing of a police officer from Dhi Qar province in January 2021. According to the Supreme Judicial Council, the officer had been trying to buy a car from the perpetrators, and was lured by the four from Dhi Qar to Najaf, where they shot and killed him, as well as stealing money and a personal gun in his possession..

New details on Ayn al-Assad thwarted attackhttps://t.co/vFfxrzVaZl
— SHAFAQ News (@Shafaqnews) April 8, 2022

A local officiall disclosed new details regarding the Ayn al-Assad incident.

The official told Shafaq News agency that an armed group had entered Kabisa sub-district to carry out the attack, prompting the Global Coalition forces to prepare to repel any possible attacks.

The Coalition said in a statement today, "At approximately 1:46 a.m., April 8, U.S. air defense systems shot down an armed unmanned aerial system entering Al Asad Air Base, Iraq.

'There are no reported injuries or damage and all Coalition personnel are accounted for. The incident is under investigation", the statement added.

However, a source reported to Shafaq News agency that the drones are similar to the ones that carried out the attack on Erbil and were found in Diyala two months ago.

The Global Coalition units deployed in Ayn al-Asad airbase

...alternately Ain Al-Asad...

thwarted an attack on the base today, a security source reported.

The source told Shafaq News agency that the units dropped two drones that were flying on the east side of the base, in addition to two rockets.

It is still unknown whether the two rockets were launched by the drones.

Ayn al-Asad is located 90 Km west of Ramadi, the capital city of al-Anbar governorate, and is the largest base hosting the Coalition units.

Bases hosting the Coalition units are constantly attacked since the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.

Washington accuses pro-Iranian factions of being behind such attacks.

An Nahar adds:

The attack comes after four U.S. troops were hurt Thursday when rockets were fired at a base housing American forces in neighboring Syria's Deir Ezzor province.

Dozens of rocket and armed drone attacks have targeted U.S. troops and interests in Iraq in recent months.

Western officials have blamed hard-line pro-Iran factions for the attacks, which have never been claimed.
