Africa North
Truce reached after deadly clashes in Libyan capital
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A truce has been reached after deadly festivities erupted between rival militias in 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...
, a security source said Tuesday as residents reported calm had returned to Libyan capital.

Five people were killed and 33 maimed on Monday, the health ministry said, as two factions faced off with tanks and pickup trucks mounted with machine guns.

After kabooms and gunfire rocked Tripoli’s suburbs, a truce was reached on Monday evening according to a source from the security services.

Negotiations were due to take place on Tuesday aimed at achieving a lasting ceasefire, the source added.

A resident of the Ain Zara neighborhood in south-east Tripoli confirmed calm had returned to the area.

Other residents in the Salaheddin and Khallet al-Ferjan neighborhoods, in southern Tripoli, said the fighting had ended although some roads remained closed to traffic.

The festivities involved two rival groups linked to the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA), according to security sources.

Interior Minister Abdessalam Ashour said the fighting pitted the so-called 7th Brigade -- a militia from the town of Tarhuna southeast of Tripoli -- against security forces.

The 7th Brigade, which operates under the GNA’s defense ministry, said it had repelled an attack on its positions in southeast Tripoli.

Since dictator Muammar Qadaffy
...who single-handedly turned a moderately prosperous kingdom into a dictator's fantasyland and was then murdered by his indignant subjects 42 years later...
was ousted in 2011, the Libyan capital has been at the center of a battle for influence between gangs.

IS Diyala State free of Arab, foreign militants for first time since 2014
I have absolutely no idea what this means.
Diyala (IraqiNews.com) A senior security source from Diyala has said Islamic State’s so-called Diyala State is free of Arab or foreign militants for the first time since 2014.

The absence of Arab and foreign militants in Diyala, according to the source, who preferred anonymity, is due to many reasons, “many of them were killed, while others moved to other places as result of security measures by the Diyala Operations Command.”

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IDF razes home of terrorist who killed Israeli in West Bank settlement
[IsraelTimes] A month after deadly stabbing attack, defense minister says he made good on his promise to family of late Yotam Ovadia

The Israeli military on Tuesday demolished the home of a Paleostinian terrorist who fatally stabbed an Israeli man in a West Bank settlement last month, the Defense Ministry said.

On the night of July 26, 17-year-old Muhammad Yusef from the Paleostinian village of Kobar in the central West Bank entered the Adam settlement, some 18 kilometers (11 miles) away, and attacked two residents of the community outside a playground, before he was rubbed out by a third.

Yusef stabbed father of two Yotam Ovadia, 31, in the upper body multiple times, killing him. He also seriously maimed a 58-year-old man.

The third Adam resident, 41-year-old Assaf Raviv, went outside to investigate the disturbance and, realizing that a terror attack was occurring, shot Yusef three times, killing him. Raviv was also stabbed and lightly injured in the incident.

In the early morning hours of Tuesday, Israeli soldiers arrived with a bulldozer and razed the home, some two weeks after posting a demolition notice.

In the days following the deadly attack, the military raided Yusef’s family home and began taking measurements of the building in order to prepare it for demolition. Some two weeks ago, the military formally notified the family that the home was slated for destruction.

The Defense Ministry said in a statement that dozens of Paleostinians rioted during the demolition, during which they "threw stones, hurled Molotov cocktails and pipe bombs, shot firecrackers and burned tires."

The soldiers responded by employing riot control methods, the statement said, adding that there were no Israeli casualties.

"During the Shiva [period of mourning] for Yotam Ovadia in the community of Adam, I told his widow and parents that we would shortly demolish the terrorist’s home," Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman wrote on Twitter on Tuesday morning. "Tonight that issue got its closure."

"We will continue fighting terror with an iron fist, we will continue building in Adam and in any other place where our citizens are being targeted," Liberman added.

Ovadia was father to a 2-year-old child and a 7-month-old baby. The Brinks security company announced on its Facebook page that he worked there as a technician.

Israel says the practice of demolishing terrorists’ homes is an effective means of discouraging future attacks, though it has been criticized by human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
groups as a form of collective punishment and by some analysts as an ineffective deterrent measure.

Elsewhere in the West Bank, IDF forces tossed in the calaboose
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
eight terror suspects overnight, the statement added. In the village of as-Samu, near Hebron, they located a pistol, bullets and magazines in one of the houses. On Monday, forces found homemade weapons in the village of Ein Qiniya.

PA police uncover 12 grenades outside West Bank village

Palestinian Authority police located twelve 40-millimeter grenades near a village in the northern West Bank, they say in a statement.

After finding the grenades close to Mughayyer, a village near Jenin, police dispatched a bomb disposal team to the area, which transported them to “a safe location” and destroyed them, the statement added.

A spokesman for the PA police did not immediately respond to a request for comment about how the grenades ended up where they were found.

7 women arrested by Israel for aiding, promoting Hamas in Hebron
[IsraelTimes] Group reportedly used by Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, leadership in Gazoo to send messages, money to Death Eaters in West Bank

Israel has locked away
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
seven women who took part in a scheme to promote and aid the Hamas terror group in the West Bank city of Hebron, the Shin Bet security service said Tuesday.

The women and two men also involved in the network were arrested over the last several weeks and have been accused of working in coordination with Hamas officials in Gazoo as well as abroad in order to promote terror activity, the security service said in a statement.

The network was allegedly used to transmit messages, transfer funds for terror activities, and coordinate operations.

The Shin Bet investigation found that the ring promoted Hamas activities in Hebron and recruited activists, coordinated with mosques and preachers, worked to increase support, and were involved in propaganda and incitement, as well as providing support to families of enjugged
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
terrorists.

A number of the activists were sent overseas to meetings with Hamas officials who were deported after being released from Israeli prison in 2011 in exchange for IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.

They also traveled to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
to receive funds for terror, messages, and instructions, according to the Shin Bet.

The network also allegedly tried to take control of municipal services in the city and run charity organizations. According to Israel’s Hadashot news, the purpose was to lay the groundwork for Hamas gains in the West Bank after Paleostinian Authority leader the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
dies or retires.

Abbas’s Fatah faction is locked in a bitter battle with Hamas, and the Fatah-dominated Paleostinian Authority has worked with Israel to crack down on Hamas activities in the West Bank.

"Uncovering this network proves once again that the Hamas leadership in the Gazoo Strip and overseas is working to direct Hamas activities in the West Bank, using every tool at its disposal," the Shin Bet statement said.

The Shin Bet named Nizar Shehada and Firas Abu Sharakh as the heads of the network. Both have both served time in Israeli jails for terror-related activities, accoridng to the release.

The two are accused of recruiting women to serve as the operational arm of the scheme. The women were led by Dina Karmi, whose husband Nashat Karmi was a Hamas leader who murdered four Israelis in an August 2010 terror attack. He was subsequently killed in exchange of fire with the IDF during an arrest raid.

The group allegedly recruited dozens of women to become "Hamas activists."

Several of those arrested have been indicted in Judea Military Court for belonging to a terror group and holding office in an illegal organization.

Southeast Asia
Duterte slams IS as military kills seven BIFF rebels
[Gulf Today] Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte denounced Islamic State rebels in the Middle East as “a totally bankrupt and idiotic movement” even as the military reported the killing of seven rogue Moro militants in a renewed offensive against terrorists in Mindanao. Duterte said, "It’s (IS) a totally bankrupt and idiotic movement that has nothing except to kill and to destroy and to kill all the infidels, which means that if you are not a Muslim, you are an infidel."

In the same speech, Duterte warned he would unleash the government’s “huge arsenal of weapons” to go after terrorists who continue to threaten troubled Mindanao. He said, "I’m warning you rebels that I have weapons. You do some fighting there and I will freely use all the jets to bomb you. And If I hurt civilians, then, it’s part of of the territory.”

The president’s warning came as the military reported on Tuesday the killing of seven members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters in its renewed offensive in Maguindanao province.

Division commander Cirilito Sabejana said his men used 108 Howitzer cannons to disperse about 80 armed members of the BIFF in a village in Sultan sa Barongis. He said, "Some of them were carrying improvised explosives to be used against non-military targets,” adding that four other BIFF members were injured in the attack.

Syrian Army foils ISIL breakout attempt in east Sweida
[AlMasdar] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) launched another large-scale assault in southern Syria this week in order to breakout of their east Sweida pocket.

ISIS began their offensive by storming the Syrian Arab Army’s positions at the Khirbat Abu Khashabeh axis, which is located in the al-Safa region.

However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
despite their best efforts to breakout of this mountainous pocket, the Islamic State was eventually routed by the Syrian Arab Army troops in the al-Safa region.

According to a military source in Sweida city, the Syrian Arab Army managed to kill at least a half dozen of the Islamic State’s terrorists, while also destroying at least three of their cycle of violences during the battle.

The Islamic State has been repeatedly attempting to breakout of the al-Safa region in a bid to reach their allies in the Badiya al-Sham region of western Deir Ezzor.

The Syrian Arab Army has called on the Islamic State fighters to surrender their last positions; however, the terrorist group says they will only give up if they are given safe passage to the Deir Ezzor countryside.
