JNIM, IS Sahel Fighters Clash in Liptako Gourma region

Text:

Fighting has intensified between militants of Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and the Islamic State Sahel Province (IS Sahel) in parts of the Liptako Gourma area, security sources said on Sunday.

The clashes, which occurred over the past two days in the Oudalan province of northern Burkina Faso, resulted in multiple casualties on both sides. Local sources said the rival groups engaged in at least three separate confrontations between Friday and Saturday.

The clashes come amid parallel hostilities between Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in the Lake Chad Basin, highlighting a broader pattern of infighting among jihadist factions operating across West Africa.

Caribbean-Latin America
Trump's latest narco-terrorist strike far from Venezuela increases death toll to shocking number [75]
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump unleashed fire and death against alleged narco-terrorists in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday.
Prob’ly somewhere along the coast of Latin America.
Two strikes were conducted under the President's orders yesterday, killing six. It brings the death toll of suspected drug terrorists so far to 75.
Shocking! Or not, to anyone not scribbling for the DM
US intelligence discovered the vessels were 'associated with illicit narcotics smuggling,' according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who announced the operation on social media today.

He claimed both vessels were carrying narcotics but did not specify the exact drugs or location in the Eastern Pacific Ocean where the strike took place.

The cabinet secretary added: 'Both strikes were conducted in international waters and three male narco-terrorists were aboard each vessel. All six were killed. No US forces were harmed.'

The US military has conducted 18 lethal strikes against suspected drug vessels over the last few months, killing approximately 75 people after Sunday's deadly operation.

Since starting his second term, Trump has applied more military pressure on Venezuela by accusing the socialist regime of trafficking drugs into the United States.

Trump has also labeled the largest drug cartels in Mexico as terrorist organizations.

'Under President Trump, we are protecting the homeland and killing these cartel terrorists who wish to harm our country and its people,' Hegseth concluded.

Last week, the US conducted its 17th deadly strike on drug boats moving narcotics through international waters in the Caribbean.

Hegseth revealed this on Thursday, noting that all three alleged narco-terrorists had been killed on board.

Critics have claimed that the Trump administration's targeted strikes on drug smugglers represent extrajudicial killings.

The Pentagon has yet to release concrete evidence to the public that the vessels were carrying narcotics or posed a threat to the US.

Back in October, America rescued two survivors from a military strike on a drug vessel. The pair were later repatriated to Colombia and Ecuador.

Trump has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States.

He has asserted America is engaged in an 'armed conflict' with drug cartels, relying on the same legal authority used by the Bush administration when it declared a war on terrorism after the September 11 attacks.

Great White North
Several arrested after protesters allegedly force way into TMU student group event with Israeli soldiers
[CBCnewso] Toronto Metropolitan University student group said off-campus event was targeted by demonstrators

Five people were arrested after a group of protesters "forced entry" into a private event at a downtown building, said Toronto police.

Officers responded at 1:13 p.m. Wednesday to a building near Elm Street and Bay Street, where they allege protesters had damaged property and entered a common area event attendees were gathered.

One person was injured from broken glass during the forced entry, police said in a news release Thursday.

A 25 year-old from Oakville and a 22-year-old from Toronto were arrested, police say, and have been charged with forcible entry, unlawful assembly and obstruction of a peace officer.

Toronto police said a 21-year-old from Toronto was charged with obstruction of a peace officer, a 23-year-old from Toronto was charged with forcible entry and unlawful assembly, and a 29-year-old was arrested for obstruction and assault of a peace officer.

The suspects are all expected to appear in court in early January 2026.

A Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) student group called Students Supporting Israel (SSI) said in social media posts that an off-campus event it organized was targeted.

Videos posted by the group show broken glass and people shouting.

A post on SSI's Instagram page said protestors "forced their way" into the event that featured two Israeli soldiers as part of the national "Triggered: From Combat to Campus" tour.

It said one of the invited soldiers was injured in the incident from shattered glass.

Another TMU student group, Students for Justice in Paleostine (SJP), said in a social media statement that students protesting the event "were grabbed, shoved, chased and thrown to the ground" by one of the soldiers.

The group also alleged that Toronto police attended the scene and followed students to a subway station, where protestors were pinned to the ground before being arrested.

The university said it was "deeply concerned" about the incident.

"TMU condemns acts of aggression, intimidation, or violence," it said in a statement.

"The actions that took place on Wednesday are unacceptable and do not reflect the values of our community. Our thoughts are with any students who may have been injured during the incident."

KP CM Sohail Afridi booked under Peca over statements against state institutions
[GEO.TV] A case has been registered against Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi under the Pakistain Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) after his videos circulated on social media allegedly tarnishing the reputation of state and national security institutions.

The First Information Report (FIR), a copy of which is available to Geo News, was lodged at the Cyber Crime Reporting Centre in Islamabad, with a sub-inspector from the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) listed as the complainant.

The legal action comes after Afridi gave a media talk outside Adiala jail in which he reportedly made "false, misleading, derogatory, and intimidating" remarks against state institutions.

Videos of the remarks were also circulated via the official social media page of the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI), the ruling party in KP.

The FIR stated that the accused "is also found to be involved in preparing, publishing, sharing, and circulating fake and misleading content publicly on social media with the intention to incite violence, create racial hatred, panic, fear, and disorder among the general public, along with promoting anti-state sentiments, which are detrimental to the security, integrity, and stability of Pakistain."

Iraq
PMF revises death toll to 3 in Baghdad blast Tuesday linked to ISIS remnants
[Rudaw] Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) have revised the corpse count to three members who were killed in a blast in Baghdad, reportedly caused by leftover explosives from 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....
(ISIS) on Tuesday.

In a late Tuesday statement, the organization said that three of its members were killed while performing their duties in Baghdad. It also wished "a speedy recovery to the maimed," without specifying their exact number.

Earlier that day, the PMF had reported that one of its members "was martyred and two others were maimed as a result of an accidental explosion that occurred while conducting a technical duty in the Juraf al-Nadaf area in Baghdad."

The explosion was reportedly triggered by "kabooms left behind by the terrorist ISIS gangs," which were stored inside one of the PMF’s depots in the southern part of the capital.

"The incident was brought under control, and the necessary measures were taken," the PMF added, emphasizing the continued efforts of its teams to "clear areas of terrorist remnants and safeguard citizens’ lives."

The PMF was established in 2014 during the ISIS blitz offensive, when the group seized control of large parts of northern and western Iraq. Its formation followed a religious edict, or Fatwa, issued by Iraq’s highest Shiite authority, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.

The umbrella organization consists of roughly 70 predominantly Shiite gangs, with an estimated 250,000 members.

Gaza: IDF says forces destroyed 4 Hamas tunnels in Khan Younis
[IsraelTimes] Amid the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza, the IDF says troops deployed to southern Gaza’s Khan Younis — on the eastern side of the Yellow Line, where the IDF is still in control following its partial withdrawal — have destroyed four Hamas tunnels.

The tunnels were located and razed by troops of the 7th Armored Brigade, Golani Infantry Brigade, and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit.

The IDF says the troops also destroyed dozens of buildings used by Hamas for terror activity, “in which many weapons were located.”

The IDF says it remains deployed in Gaza “in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.”

IDF razes home of accomplice in West Bank terror shooting that killed pregnant woman and her baby
[IsraelTimes] IDF troops demolish the home of a Palestinian accused of being an accomplice in a deadly terror shooting attack in the West Bank in May, during which a pregnant woman was killed, forcing doctors to perform an emergency C-section to deliver her son, who died two weeks later.

In the attack on May 14 near the Palestinian village of Bruqin and the Israeli settlement of Bruchin, a Palestinian terrorist opened fire from the side of a road on Israeli motorists, killing Tzeela Gez, 30, and wounding her husband. Gez had been heading to a hospital to give birth. Her baby, named Ravid Haim, was delivered by emergency C-section at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva but died 15 days later.

The gunman, Naael Samarah, a member of Hamas, was shot and killed by IDF troops in the area four days later. Three more Hamas terrorists were later arrested for their alleged involvement in the attack.

Among them was Maher Samarah. The military says troops operated in the West Bank town of Bruqin today to raze Maher Samarah’s home.

Naael Samarah’s home was demolished in September, and the home of another accomplice, Jamil Samarah, was razed last month.

As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks.

Hamas says fighters holed up in Rafah will not surrender

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...
will not surrender to Israel, the group's armed wing said on Sunday, urging mediators to find a solution to a crisis that threatens the month-old ceasefire.
*Raises hand* I've got a solution!
Sources close to mediation efforts told Rooters on Thursday that fighters could surrender their arms in exchange for passage to other areas of the enclave under a proposal aimed at resolving the stalemate.
Did anyone check with Israel, to see what they will accept?
Egyptian mediators have proposed that, in exchange for safe passage, fighters still in Rafah surrender their arms to Egypt and give details of tunnels there so they can be destroyed, said one of the sources, an Egyptian security official.

Sunday's statement from al-Qassam Brigades held Israel responsible for engaging the fighters, who it said were defending themselves.

"The enemy must know that the concept of surrender and handing oneself over does not exist in the dictionary of the al-Qassam Brigades," the group said.

Southeast Asia
Migrant shipwreck off Malaysia kills at least seven
[GEO.TV] Malaysian authorities have recovered at least seven bodies after a boat carrying migrants colonists capsized near the Thai border, a maritime agency official said on Sunday.

Officials believe the boat was carrying undocumented migrants colonists who departed from Myanmar, part of a group of at least 300 people that had split between several vessels.

The boat that capsized near Thailand's Tarutao Island and just north of Malaysia's island resort of Langkawi was carrying some 90 people, Kedah state police chief Adzli Abu Shah told Malaysian media.

Romli Mustafa, director of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency in the northern states of Kedah and Perlis, said in a statement that three survivors were found on Sunday in the waters around Langkawi as well as six bodies, taking the overall corpse count to seven.

At least 13 people have been rescued alive.

Romli said the bodies recovered on Sunday were of a girl and five women, without disclosing their nationality or ethnicity.

A body found on Saturday is believed to be of a woman from Myanmar's persecuted Rohingya minority, Adzli told the Bernama national news agency.

The search and rescue effort ended for the day and will resume on Monday, Romli added, saying it was possible more survivors or victims could be found at sea.

The boat likely went down three days ago, according to the state police chief.

Kurdish forces arrested 3 ISIS suspects in east Syria Friday
[Rudaw] Kurdish-led security forces in northeast Syria (Rojava) announced on Friday the arrest of three suspected members of the Islamic State

(ISIS) in an early morning raid the day before in eastern Syria.

Internal Security Forces (Asayish) said that their special forces carried out "a qualitative security operation" in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor at dawn on Thursday. The operation was supported by the US-led global coalition against ISIS.

"The operation comes within the framework of continuous efforts to pursue the organization's cells and dry up the sources of terrorism in the region," the Asayish said in a statement, adding that there were no casualties during the raid.

During the operation quantities of weapons, documents, and communication devices were seized, the statement added.

"Our specialized security agencies have begun preliminary investigations with them in preparation for their referral to the competent judiciary," the Asayish said.

ISIS was declared territorially defeated in Syria in 2019 but has continued to wage an insurgency. Throughout this year, the group has sought to exploit the instability that followed the fall of longtime dictator Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

in December. Deir ez-Zor has been a hotspot of ISIS activity.

The Asayish and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) carry out frequent operations against the jihadists.
