[KhaamaPress] The Talibs launched deadly attacks on a number of security posts in western Farah province of Afghanistan, leaving several security personnel dead.
Provincial governor’s front man Mohammad Nasir Mehri confirmed the incident and said the gunnies launched attacks on security posts in Bala Bolik and Posht Rod districts.
Mehri further added that the attacks were launched late on Sunday night and as a result at least fifteen security personnel have bit the dust.
He said at least five security forces were martyred after the Talibs attacked their security posts in Posht Rod district.
According to Mehri, the Talibs also attacked the security posts on Farah-Farah Rod highway, leaving at least ten security personnel dead.
At least five Talibs were also killed during the festivities with the security forces, the provincial governor’s front man added.
In the meantime, a member of the provincial council says at least 17 security personnel have bit the dust during the festivities.
The anti-government armed murderous Moslem groups including Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... murderous Moslems have not commented regarding the report so far.
[AnNahar] New festivities flared between rival militias south of Libya's capital Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... on Tuesday, causing widespread power outages, the national electricity firm said.
The fighting underscored the fragility of a United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... -backed ceasefire reached earlier this month after days of deadly violence between gangs in the capital, beset by turmoil since the fall of dictator Muammar Qadaffy ...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland... in 2011.
Tuesday morning's festivities centered on the main road to Tripoli's long-closed international airport, according to witnesses including an AFP journalist.
Libya's National Electricity Company said its network had been damaged, causing a total blackout across the North African nation's south and west.
Fighting which broke out late last month killed at least 63 people and maimed 159 others -- mostly civilians -- before the ceasefire came into effect on September 4.
Last week, the capital's only working airport came under rocket fire just days after reopening following the truce.
Mitiga International Airport, located in a former military base that includes a prison, is currently controlled by the Special Deterrence Forces, a Salafist militia which serves as Tripoli's police force and has been involved in festivities around the capital.
Interior Minister Abdessalam Ashour said Monday that a "regular force" would be tasked with securing the airport.
U.N. envoy Ghassan Salame later reported 14 ceasefire violations around Tripoli, but sought to play them down, saying the deal had been "generally respected."
Tripoli's main airport has been out of action since it was severely damaged by similar festivities in 2014.
Since Qadaffy's fall in 2011, oil-rich Libya has been rocked by violence between dozens of gangs vying for control of its cities and vast oil resources.
A U.N.-brokered agreement signed in Morocco in December 2015 established the Government of National Accord (GNA) in a bid to ease the chaos.
But deep divisions remain between the GNA and rivals including military strongman Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all... , who is based in eastern Libya and backs a competing authority.
The GNA last week announced a series of measures to secure the capital and curb the influence of militias over state institutions and banks.

[AlMasdar] The Arab coalition led by Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and the United Arab Emirates announced the launch of a large-scale military operation to liberate the Yemeni port city of Al Hodeidah on the Red Sea from Shiite turbans from Ansar Allah movement, the commander of coalition forces on Yemen’s west coast Gen. Ali Taniji said Tuesday.
"The attack of troops on the side of President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi with the support of the military Arab coalition on Al Hodeidah began from several directions," Taniji said, as quoted the WAM news agency.
According to the commander, the Houthis lost their ability to resist. Coalition aircraft are bombing their positions on the outskirts of Al Hodeidah. The coalition reported that it had cut off the channel of supply of rebels in Hodeida from the city of Saada. According to Taniji, thousands of trained fighters of the Yemeni resistance will stop the Houthis’ attempts to regain the areas of Al Hodeidah that were repulsed from them.
In turn, the Al Masirah broadcaster, which is controlled by the holy warriors, reported that the Arab coalition had inflicted a strike on the building of the naval faculty in Al Hodeidah.
Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... has been engulfed in an armed conflict between the government forces led by president Hadi and the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... rebels for several years. The Saudi-led coalition of mostly Persian Gulf nations has been carrying out Arclight airstrikes against the Houthis at Hadi’s request since March 2015.
The situation in the war-torn country has tanked sharply since June, when the Saudi-led coalition launched an offensive to seize Al Hodeidah, a key port city for humanitarian aid, from the Houthis.
“They wuz naught but poor, well-armed fishermen, Effendi, hired for the day to smuggle cargo for the Iranians.”
[AlMasdar] At least 18 Yemeni fishermen were killed, today, after a Saudi Coalition warship targeted their boats off the coast of Hodeidah.
According to the Saba News Agency, the Saudi Coalition targeted the Yemeni fishing boats near the al-Khokhah District, which is where the strategic port is located.
This latest attack by the Saudi Coalition comes as their allied forces prepare to storm the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... positions around the Hodeidah Governorate.
Thus far, the Saudi-backed forces have managed to score new advances in the Kilo area; however, since Houthi reinforcements arrived, the latter has been able to reclaim several points they lost.

[IsraelTimes] Two other Paleostinians were killed in Arclight airstrike near the border late Monday after they appeared to place a suspicious object near fence
Two Paleostinians were reportedly killed by Israeli fire in festivities along the Israel-Gazoo border Tuesday evening, according to the Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede,-run health ministry in the coastal enclave.
The two men were killed during fresh protests near the Erez checkpoint between Gazoo and Israel, the scene of regular confrontation between stone-throwing youths and Israeli soldiers in recent months.
There was no immediate comment from the army about the festivities that came just after the start of the Yom Kippur holiday in Israel.
The festivities came after two Gazooks were killed in an Israeli strike near the border fence with the enclave, the ministry said early Tuesday.
The Israel Defense Forces had earlier said Monday night that its aircraft targeted Paleostinians who approached the fence and placed what the military said was a suspicious object.
According to Paleostinian sources, the incident took place east of Khan Younis, in the southern Strip.
On Monday, thousands gathered on Gazoo’s Mediterranean beach, near the fence separating the territory from Israel. Some activists sailed in small fishing boats near the fence, flying the Paleostinian flag. Israeli gunboats shot around the boats. Israel said some protesters on land burned tear gas and threw stones, and troops fired tear gas and live rounds.
[IsraelTimes] Cops say assailant knocked a Jewish man to the ground, ran at them with sharp object, outside the Old City just after start of fast day
A Paleostinian attempted to carry out a stabbing attack outside Jerusalem’s Old City on Tuesday evening, and was rubbed out by Israeli police, Israeli and Paleostinian officials said.
An Israeli police statement reported "an attempted stabbing attack" near Damascus Gate, saying "a police unit at the spot neutralized the suspect," with the Paleostinian Authority’s health ministry saying it was informed of the death of a civilian by gunshots.
According to police, the attacker ran at a Jewish man and knocked him over onto the ground; he then "continued running toward the coppers while waving a sharp object and trying to harm them."
The assailant was a 26-year-old from the Qalandiya refugee camp outside Jerusalem, who was in Israel illegally, according to the Haaretz website.
Police did not say if anyone else was harmed in the incident. It occurred just after sunset on Tuesday, as Jews began observing Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
"The widespread deployment of police in Jerusalem and their alertness prevented an attack that could have ended with harsh results," police said.
Earlier Tuesday Police placed in durance vile Please don't kill me! five Moslem activists on the Temple Mount and accused them of trying to obstruct a group of Jewish visitors touring the flashpoint Jerusalem holy site.
Tensions are often increased around Jewish holidays, which often see an uptick in the number of Jewish visitors to the site.
According to the police and video from the scene, the five suspects belong to the al-Aqsa Youth organization and had blocked a group of Jewish religious visitors.
"Police asked them several times not to disturb the public order and not to interfere with the proper functioning of the visits, but they did not respond," a police spokesperson said in a statement.
Video from the incident released by the left-wing Ir Amim organization showed police scuffling with a group of Moslems on the compound, which houses the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque and is known as the Haram al-Sharif in Arabic.
According to Ir Amim, police had tried to move two people who work for the Waqf Islamic endowment, which administers the site, from a path where the Jewish visitors had been walking.
A Waqf spokesperson said four people were maimed in the fighting.
The spokesperson accused the police of "assaulting ...Waqf officials, mosque guards and worshipers," the official Paleostinian Authority news outlet Wafa reported.
According to the prevailing status quo at the site, Jews are allowed to visit but not pray there. Visits by religious Jews are closely guarded by a police escort and Waqf representatives generally also follow the groups closely.
Police said earlier in the week that they would beef up their presence in the Old City for Yom Kippur and the Moslem holy day of Ashura, which falls the next day.
Shabab al-Aksa is a religious organization and is seen as Hamas’s long-arm at the Temple Mount. The organization was outlawed in August 2011, and in November 2016, it was declared by Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman to be a terrorist organization. Members of the organizations were active in violent clashes with police and visitors on the Temple Mount in recent years.
[Hot Air] If Syria shoots down a Russian jet, shouldn’t Russia be angry with ... Syria? One might think so, but the Russian defense ministry has other ideas. After Syrian anti-aircraft fire took down a Russian surveillance plane with 15 on board, Moscow threatened Israel with retaliation, accusing them of masking their attacks on Iranian installations as they targeted weapons transfers to Hezbollah:
Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, the ministry spokesman, told reporters that 15 people were killed late Monday after Syrian air defenses — activated in response to Israeli strikes — hit a Russian surveillance plane as it scrambled to leave the area.
“By using the Russian plane as a cover, the Israeli air pilots made it vulnerable to Syrian air defense fire,” Konashenkov said. “As a result, the Ilyushin-20, its reflective surface being far greater than that of an F-16, was downed by a missile launched with the S-200 system.”
He added that Israel gave Russia only a minute’s warning before launching the attack.
“Russia reserves the right to take appropriate measures against hostile actions by Israel,” Konashenkov said.
How serious is this? BBC defense reporter Jonathan Marcus thinks “Russia’s anger is real,” but their blamecasting is mainly for show:

The irony here is the only reason the Israeli jet didn't take out the S-200 launch site is because the site was more than likely manned by Russian technicians.
I recommend Dan Hampton's 'Hunter Killers' general Konashenkov, and Russian lessons learned working with the North Vietnamese.

The Russians and their Soviet predecessors have been funding terrorism against Israel for 50+ years. They should be thankful Israel hasn't decided to get even.

[AlMasdar] (2:45 P.M.) – Turkey plans to increase their military presence in the Idlib province of Syria, as they prepare to implement the demilitarized zone that was agreed upon in Sochi on Monday.
According to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, Turkey is seeking to send troops to additional parts of Idlib, including the provincial capital.
“We will have 12 observation points in Idlib. However, we need to send additional troops there,” the minister said at a press conference in Ankara broadcasted by the NTV television channel.
The Turkish military had previously sent troops to the Idlib Governorate in response to the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) buildup.
However, they are now seeking more troops to deploy to the upcoming demilitarized zone in the Idlib Governorate.
[AlMasdar] (4:45 P.M.) – Press Secretary for Russian President Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov stated in Moscow on Monday that the loss of a Russian IL-20 jet over Syria would “not affect it in any way” the agreement reached between Russia and Turkey over the Syrian demilitarisation zone.
“This is an important ground-breaking agreement, a lifechanging one, regarding the future of Syria. It confirmed that Moscow and Ankara are able to reach a compromise and effective decisions according to the goal, which is to settle [the conflict] through diplomacy,” Peskov said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Monday that Russia and Turkey have agreed to establish a demilitarised zone in Idlib by 15 October, along the contact line of the armed opposition and the Syrian army.
[AlMasdar] (6:45 P.M.) – The Russian and Turkish forces are developing a new security system in the Idlib Governorate, Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu said in a board meeting today.
“Our Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Mr. Erdogan held talks yesterday as part of efforts to resolve the situation in the Syrian Idlib de-escalation zone. The talks also involved defense ministers, foreign ministers and general staff chiefs,” he said.
“Following long negotiations, the parties agreed on a decision, which makes it possible for us to say that the construction of a new security system in the Idlib de-escalation zone begins today,” Shoigu added.
He pointed out that a memorandum on stabilizing the situation in Idlib, signed by Russia and Turkey, “implies that by October 10, heavy weapons must be withdrawn from the demilitarized zone, which will be 15 to 20 kilometers wide.”
“In addition, all the radical groups will have to leave the zone by October 15. That includes the ISIL [the former name of the Islamic State terror group – TASS], Jabhat al-Nusra [both outlawed in Russia – TASS] and those on the United Nations’ list of terrorist organizations,” the Russian defense chief said.
“Civilians both in Aleppo and the Idlib de-escalation zone should have access to this highway before the end of the year,” he added.
[AlMasdar] (7:10 P.M.) – All designated terrorist groups in the Idlib Governorate will have until October 15th to leave the new demilitarized zone that was established by presidents Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu stated during a board meeting.
“In addition, all the radical groups will have to leave the zone by October 15. That includes the ISIL [the former name of the Islamic State terror group – TASS], Jabhat al-Nusra [both outlawed in Russia – TASS] and those on the United Nations’ list of terrorist organizations,” Shoigu said.
The Russian Minister of Defense also said that all heavy weapons must be removed from the demilitarized zone.
It is not clear how the Russian and Turkish forces plan on forcing the terrorist groups to leave these areas; however, it is not very likely that Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham and the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP) will accept this.
[AlMasdar] (11:30 P.M.) – Two of the largest jihadist groups in northwest Syria have allegedly rejected the Idlib agreement that was established by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Monday in Sochi.
According to opposition activists via social media, both Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (formerly Jaysh Al-Fateh) and the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP) have rejected the Idlib demilitarized zone agreement.
While nothing is official, it is expected that these jihadist groups will not accept the Idlib demilitarized zone agreement because it labels both of them as terrorist organizations.
With the Turkestan Islamic Party’s large presence in the Jisr Al-Shughour District of Idlib and the Jabal Al-Akrad region of Latakia, it is very likely that the Russian government will pressure the Turkish regime to either eliminate this group or let the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) do so.

...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war.

[Hot Air] If Syria shoots down a Russian jet, shouldn’t Russia be angry with ... Syria? One might think so, but the Russian defense ministry has other ideas. After Syrian anti-aircraft fire took down a Russian surveillance plane with 15 on board, Moscow threatened Israel with retaliation, accusing them of masking their attacks on Iranian installations as they targeted weapons transfers to Hezbollah:
The irony here is the only reason the Israeli jet didn't take out the S-200 launch site is because the site was more than likely manned by Russian technicians.
