Jews attacked in New York City amid pro-Palestinian protest
[IsraelTimes] One person is burned when two fireworks were thrown from a car amid an altercation with anti-Zionist protesters in a heavily Jewish New York City business district, according to police.

The fights came on Thursday evening, on what appeared to be the final day of the conflict between Hamas and Israel, before a ceasefire that took effect overnight.

Additional videos circulating on social media appear to show other physical altercations between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrators in New York City Thursday.

This will only cause the Palestinians to loose more land because Jews will move to Israel and annex more territory for security.

Hamas supporters hunt down Jews in Los Angeles, ADL offers reward for info
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

The Times of Israel adds:
Israelis living in Los Angeles say they were assaulted by pro-Palestinian hooligans last night while dining at a restaurant in the city.

Haim Yisraeli tells Channel 12 dozens of people waving Palestinian flags badly beat diners after asking “who is Jewish.”

“I’ve lived here nearly 10 years and I don’t remember such an incident of violence toward Israelis.”



ADL offers $5K reward for info on pro-Palestinian protesters in LA attack on Jews

-Land of the Free
Border Patrol nabs 32 Mexican nationals dressed in camo in Arizona
[FoxNews]

It’s not the first time migrants have used camouflage clothing in a bid to escape detection, and crossings in general are up as well.

Last week, Border Patrol agents in Texas found 20 migrants crammed into a pickup truck and cargo trailer during a stop southeast of El Paso. On Monday, they found 23 crammed into an open-topped Panga-style vessel off the coast of San Diego.

And Modlin's latest announcement came three days after he said 124 migrants surrendered to agents near San Miguel, Ariz. Out of that group, 105 of them were unaccompanied minors.

In the month of April, Border Patrol ran into more than 178,000 border crossers – over 13,000 of them unaccompanied minors.

The Tucson Sector, which covers 262 miles of border between the Arizona-New Mexico state line and the edge of Yuma County, sees fewer migrant crossings than Texas – but more deaths, authorities said.

Afghanistan
Roadside bombings in southern and central Afghanistan kill 13 people, says official
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Roadside bombings in southern and central Afghanistan killed 13 people, including nine members of one family, officials said Thursday. Meanwhile,
...back at the argument, Livia had made her point with her knee to Jane's stomach...
forces of Evil stopped a bus in western Afghanistan, ordered three men to get out and shot and killed them.

No one has grabbed credit for the latest attacks. The three men on the bus were ethnic Hazara
...a grouping of Dari-speaking people of Sino-Tibetan descent inhabiting Afghanistan and Pakistain. They are predominantly Shia Moslems and not particularly warlike, which makes them favored targets...
s. The government blamed the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
, who denied responsibility. Previous attacks on Hazaras, who are mostly Shiite Moslems, have been claimed by the ISIS group.

Large swaths of war-ravaged Afghanistan have been littered with bombs and land mines. Many have been planted by forces of Evil to target military convoys but often kill civilians instead.

One of the two bombs struck a car carrying a family of 12 in southern Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
province late on Wednesday, said provincial police front man Zaman Hamdarad. Several of the nine family members who died were children, he said.

The vehicle was travelling to the scenic provincial capital of Lashkar Gah when it struck the bomb. The Nad Ali district where the earth-shattering kaboom occurred is under Taliban control and Hamdarad said it is difficult to get information. Three maimed children were taken to the provincial hospital in Lashkar Gah, he said.

A second roadside kabooming, in central Ghor province, destroyed a cycle of violence carrying a family of four, all of whom were killed, said the province’s governor, Abdul Zahir Faizzada.

Meanwhile,
...back at the argument, Livia had made her point with her knee to Jane's stomach...
the Taliban earlier this week said Afghan fighter jets bombed a health clinic in area the forces of Evil control in northern Baghlan province. A video circulated by the Taliban showed a partially damaged mud and brick building, typical of rural Afghanistan. The Taliban said one patient was killed and 18 other people were hurt, including two doctors.

The government said it was targeting forces of Evil and claimed to have destroyed Taliban compounds.

Nigeria's Boko Haram leader 'badly wounded' dead again after clash with rival group: Sources

...the lunatic leader of Boko Haram who has been reported dead at least eleven times, pledged his body and soul to ISIS, told his fighters to hang it up once or twice, and been fired by the Caliph and refused to step down. Last seen in 2017, sneaking into Cameroon while wearing a burka...
has been seriously maimed after trying to kill himself to avoid capture during festivities with rival ISIS-allied forces of Evil in the north of the country, two intelligence sources said on Thursday.

Shekau’s Boko Haram faction and fighters 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....
West Africa Province had been battling in northeastern Borno state, where ISWAP forces of Evil have become the dominant force in Nigeria’s more than decade-long insurgency.

Shekau, who made international headlines when his men kidnapped nearly 300 schoolgirls in Chibok in 2014, has been reported dead several times since Boko Haram first began its insurgency in 2009.

After a series of festivities, Shekau and some of his fighters were surrounded on Wednesday by ISWAP miltants in Boko Haram’s Sambisa forest stronghold, where they demanded he surrender, one intelligence source said.

"To avoid capture, Shekau shot himself in the chest and the bullet pierced his shoulder," the source said, adding: "He was badly injured."
So he either shot himself or he exploded. I'll go with exploded.
Some of his men managed to escape with him to an unknown destination, the source added.
That would be The Great Beyond if he did explode.
A second intelligence source said Shekau was critically maimed after detonating explosives in the house where he was holed up with his men.
"Is he dead?"
"I dunno fer sure. All the pieces of him I saw are!"

"We are investigating," Nigeria’s army front man Mohammed Yerima told AFP by text, asked about those reports.

Shekau’s critical injury or death would be a blow to his Boko Haram faction which has already been weakened by military air strikes on its bases and defections among his men.

More than 40,000 people have been killed and over two million displaced from their homes by the conflict in northeast Nigeria
... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border...
, and fighting has spread to parts of neighbouring Chad, Cameroon
...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there...
, and Niger.

Boko Haram and ISWAP have fought battles for control of territory in the past.

ISWAP has emerged as the stronger force, carrying out complex attacks on the military and overrunning army bases.

Shekau took over Boko Haram, formally known as the Jama’tu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, after its founder Muhammad Yusuf was killed by police in 2009.

Under Shekau’s leadership, Boko Haram turned large swathes of the northeast into a no-go territory, proclaiming a "caliphate" in the Borno town of Gwoza in 2014.

An offensive since 2015 by Nigerian troops backed by soldiers from Cameroon, Chad, and Niger drove miltants from most of the area that they had once controlled.

Angered by Shekau’s indiscriminate targeting of civilians and use of women and kiddies jacket wallahs, a rival faction broke away in 2016 to become ISWAP with the backing of the ISIS group.

According to the news platform, the incident occurred on Wednesday evening following the invasion of the terror group’s stronghold in the Sambisa forest area by a column of Islamic State

They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters.

ISWAP, which had broken away from the Shekau-led Boko Haram faction in 2016 after pledging allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS), raided the group’s hideout using multiple gun trucks.

Mr Shekau’s enclave was tracked down by ISWAP using its forces based in the Timbuktu Triangle. His fighters were killed in the process, followed by a long gunfire exchange between the invading group and Shekau’s bodyguards.

HumAngle gathered that after his bodyguards were subdued, Mr Shekau surrendered and engaged in an hours-long meeting with the ISWAP fighters.

During the parley, he was asked to voluntarily relinquish power and order his fighters in other areas to declare bai’a (allegiance) to ISWAP’s authority. They had expected Shekau to issue a statement.

Sources within the insurgency, however, said that Mr Shekau who secretly had a boom jacket on eventually went kaboom! alongside everyone present during the negotiations.

The identities of the people within ISWAP’s leadership who bit the dust to the earth-shattering kaboom remain unclear at this time.

Mr Shekau had been the leader of Boko Haram since 2009 following the death of the group’s founder, Mohammed Yusuf. He had been rumoured to have been killed at least four times between July 2009 and Aug. 2015.

Suspended DySP Davinder Singh, two more teachers from north Kashmir dismissed from service by J&K Govt
[Daily Excelsior] Tainted Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
police officer Davinder Singh, who was arrested and subsequently chargesheeted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a terror case, was on Thursday dismissed from service, an official order said.

The order of dismissal of Singh, who was a deputy superintendent of police, was given by Lt Governor Manoj Sinha.

It was originally organized as the armed wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. In 1990, Dar declared Hizbul as the sword arm of Jamaat. Hizbul murdered many of the pro-independence intelligentsia in Kashmir. After the organization was taken over by Syed Salahuddin Dar and several other ex-Hizb leaders were assassinated between 2001 and 2003...

Iraqi CTS announces the overthrow of ISIS prominent leaders
[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] The Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) revealed today, Thursday, its strategy to eliminate ISIS terrorist gangs, and while announcing the overthrow of prominent leaders, it referred to the elimination of these gangs’ media.

A front man for the agency, Sabah al-Numan, said:

"According to the directives of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces to continue operations and field follow-up to the movements of the remnants of the terrorist ISIS gangs, a plan has been drawn up to reinforce the intelligence work and pursue the remaining remnants of the terrorist ISIS gangs after monitoring the places where they are located. Noting that "the action plan is clear from the end of last year and the beginning of this year, and there are specific operations for coalition and air forces to pound bully boyz in various rugged areas."

He added that "the device has started specific operations according to the techniques it enjoys, such as airdrops and other operations," noting that "in the first quarter of this year, more than 300 operations were carried out, and the results were great, as it ousted prominent figures in ISIS."

He emphasized that "the so-called southern and Tigris sectors were dismantled, in addition to the arrest of the governor of the Hamza district in the Baghdad belt area," noting that "the apparatus carried out a qualitative operation with the coalition aircraft in the southern sector, and their hosts were destroyed in Radwaniyah, which is the place from which the terrorist acts started." Which targeted Tayaran Square in Baghdad. "

He stated, "An operation was accomplished in coordination with the Iraqi Air Force (F-16) aircraft in southern djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, specifically Hammam al-Alil, by providing the aircraft with accurate coordinates after continuous follow-up. With three bully boyz in the Anbar and Kirkuk operations. "

#1  I wonder, does the 36th still exist? In 2017 when the Islamic State (ISIL) was eradicated in Mosul, the Iraqi 36th Commando Battalion "struck the final blows. The 36th was the first Iraqi special forces unit to be developed after Saddam’s fall. [In 2017 it was] the longest serving component of the Counter-Terrorism Service — a force of less than 8,000 elite troops built by the United States, and the most militarily and politically reliable force at the disposal of the Iraqi government."

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
A 30-second recording captures the difference between Israelis and Arabs
[American Thinker] One of Golda Meir's most famous quotations concerned the differing attitudes between Arabs and Israelis when it came to children's role in war. She noted that Israelis saw children as potential victims who must be protected at all costs, while Arabs see children as useful weapons in war. Now a 30-second recording between an IDF soldier and a Gaza resident brings her observation to life.

Golda Meir, in her book A Land of Our Own: An Oral Autobiography, spoke about the different ways in which the two parties viewed children during the imperialist Arabs' endless efforts to push the indigenous Jews out of their land.* Most people remember only the last sentence — "Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us" — but it's actually the preceding sentence that illuminates the vast moral chasm between Israelis and Arabs:
"When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us."

Meir's formulation has shown up in two memes widely circulated on the internet whenever there is strife between Israel and the Arabs:

The numbers behind the 11-day Israel-Hamas fighting
[IsraelTimes] After 11 days of rocket attacks and Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s, Israel and the Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, terror group have agreed to stop the fighting. Here are some numbers summarizing Operation Guardian of the Wall:

Around 4,000 rockets were fired by Paleostinian terror groups at Israeli cities, communities and army bases, hundreds of which landed inside the 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 an iron fist by Hamaswith 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...
Strip. The Israel Defense Forces says 90% of the rockets aimed at populated areas in Israel were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system.

12 people were killed in Israel, including nine Israelis and three foreign workers — two from Thailand, one from India. Two of the fatalities died of injuries sustained during a rush to a bomb shelter, while the rest died from a direct rocket impact or shrapnel. Additionally, over 350 people were maimed.

On the Paleostinian side, the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry has given a corpse count of 232, including more than 66 minors, and more than 1,600 injured in thousands of Israeli airstrikes. But some analysts suspect that is an undercount and that more Hamas and 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...
fighters have been killed. The IDF says it has killed 225 members of terror groups.

The Israel military also says some of the Gaza civilian fatalities were killed by the terror groups’ own rockets falling short and exploding in Gaza.

#1  back in 2014 it took over a year to get reliable estimates of Gaza casualties.

In that conflict about 1000 Gaza fighters, mostly Hamas but also PIJ and others died, about the same number of civilians and several hundred who could reasonably be called civilians assisting fighters;
subsequent to the cease fire, Hamas executed several dozen alleging spying for Israel

In that conflict Israel lost about 70 fighters and about half a dozen civilians.

#2  what is more difficult to determine is the damage to Hamas's infrastructure

back in 2014, Israel knocked out several dozen command and training facilities and damaged a few dozen tunnel entrances

although not known for sure, the damage to the tunnels this time is probably an order of magnitude more severe than back in 2014 while the damage to command and training facilities is probably about the same

The Israel military also says some of the Gaza civilian fatalities were killed by the terror groups’ own rockets falling short and exploding in Gaza.

#5  RS brings up an interesting point

in the 2014 conflict (which was about 40 days), Hamas and PIJ sent about 4000 rockets and only about 40 failed to clear the Gaza border

in the 2020 conflict (11 day), they sent about 3500 rockets with about 400 failing to clear

It is astounding to see the fail rate increase like this. There are lots of possible non exclusive reasons for this and it will keep the analysts busy for quite a while.

#7  but likely large, number of miners, in the collapsed tunnels.

Many of the miners in Gaza are minors — small bodies need less space to dig, and they command smaller paychecks. I remember posting the story here some years ago.

Hamas tried to send commandos into Israel — army official
And now they’ll have to wait until the hudna is not brand new.
[IsraelTimes] The Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, terror group has tried at least three times to send its commando soldiers into Israel from the 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 an iron fist by Hamaswith 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...
Strip through tunnels that come up to — but do not cross — the border during the current round of fighting, a senior officer in the military’s Southern Command tells news hounds.

Israel has prevented all three of these infiltration attempts, twice bombing the tunnels while the Hamas operatives were inside near the Gazook city of Khan Younis and once attacking them before they entered the subterranean passage, the officer says, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered...

, reports say.

Defense officials briefing the ministers told them Israel has "exhausted" all of its possible military achievements in the conflict with Paleostinian terror groups in the coastal enclave, according to the Ynet news site.

"Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", is deterred and suffered serious blows," an official is quoted as telling the ministers.

No rockets fired from 2 a.m. as ceasefire appears to be holding
[IsraelTimes] By dawn, no rockets have been fired at Israel since a ceasefire went into effect at 2 a.m, indicating an Egyptian-brokered truce between Israel and the Gazoo terror groups is holding.There are also no reports of Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip.

Arab Israelis, Palestinians celebrate ceasefire, claim victory
[IsraelTimes] Arab Israelis and Paleostinians in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gazoo celebrate as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, goes into effect.

In East Jerusalem and West Bank towns, people set off fireworks.

In Gaza, people come out onto the streets chanting Allahu Akbar and mosques claimed victory on their loudspeakers.

In the Arab Israeli town of Um el-Fahm,
...home of the Islamic Movement - Northern Branch, the armed wing of the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel...
a convoy of cars drove through the streets, honking their horns and waving Paleostinian flags.

#5  Biden annonced he would restock the Iron Dome systems, so he can talk like he did something to create a ceasefire after the major targets were serviced. What a clown and will the press get that he has essentially funded the next round of kinetic peace process?
