[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A mayor-elect was assassinated on a bus in the Mexican resort city of Acapulco early Monday morning.
Retired Navy captain Salvador Villalba, 53, was returning from a meeting with military officials in Mexico City when gunmen intercepted the bus, the Guerrero State Attorney General's Office said.
Milenio news outlet reported that three assailants pulled the driver out of the bus and assaulted him.
Two of the suspects then entered the vehicle and went seat by seat searching for Villalba until they were able to match him with a photo they had of him on a smart phone before shooting him four times.
A woman who was on the bus was also struck by the gunfire and rushed to a local hospital, where she is recovering and in stable condition.
At least 34 political candidates were murdered leading up to the June 2 elections in Mexico, according to human rights organization Data Civica. However, the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador only registered 23 homicides.
Villalba decided to seek office after his friend, Jesús González, leader of the Ecological Green Party of Mexico, was murdered in June 2023 after he came forward with accusations that Mayor Guadalupe García, Villalba's cousin, had threatened him with violence if he did not clear the way for her preferred public office candidates.
Milenio news outlet reported that Villalba was offered money to drop out of the race at the beginning of his campaign, but declined to do so.
He ran under the Mexico Advances Movement party and beat out Morena candidate José Chávez, obtaining 39 percent of the vote.
Villalba had two federal police officers assigned to his security detail, but the protection was only valid while traveling inside the state of Guerrero.

US Mayors should take heed.
Because as we have frequently seen, what happens South Of The Border, eventually always seems to happen here in our Border states and Metro's. All due to the unchecked massive illegal influx

[IsraelTimes] Suspects alleged to have attacked victim and beat her while hurling antisemitic insults before gang-raping her in park near her home
French prosecutors have opened an investigation into three teenage boys suspected of raping a 12-year-old girl in an attack motivated by antisemitism, French media reported Tuesday.
An investigation was opened on Saturday night after the girl and her parents filed a police complaint in Courbevoie, near Gay Paree, alleging that she had been attacked in a park near her home by three teenagers, who hurled antisemitic insults at her before dragging her to a shed and gang-raping her, Le Monde reported.
The three attackers, aged 12, 13 and 14 years old, beat the girl and "forcibly penetrated" her while "making death threats and antisemitic remarks," the report said, citing an unnamed police source.
Two of the three attackers were identified by the girl’s friend, who had been in the park with her at the time of the attack, and all three were arrested on Monday.
According to Le Gay Pareeien, one of the suspects was the girl’s former boyfriend, who confessed to the attack and said he had acted out of Dire Revenge after she hid her religious identity from him. French media outlets reported that Sherlocks uncovered antisemitic content on the suspect’s phone, although that was not confirmed.
Following the attack, the girl was taken to a local hospital, where she underwent a gynecological examination that confirmed she had been raped.
The Nanterre public prosecutor’s office confirmed to local news outlets that the teenagers were being investigated on suspicion of "aggravated rape, aggravated sexual assault, attempted extortion, invasion of privacy, death threats," for the attack. They were also being investigated for violence and hate speech due to the antisemitic nature of the attack.
One of the three suspects was placed in detention and the other two were in police custody, due to their age. They were scheduled to appear before a judge on Tuesday and prosecutors requested that they remain in detention until they are charged and tried.
Antisemitism has surged in La Belle France in the wake of the October 7 Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... terror assault in southern Israel and subsequent war in 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 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... . Of the 1,676 antisemitic incidents reported in La Belle France in 2023 — up from 436 the year prior — 74 percent occurred after October 7.
[JPost] Five Palestinians were reportedly killed by the IDF while attacking terror targets in the Al-Muwassey area, northwest of Rafah city, according to Palestinian reports on Wednesday morning.

A white cat walking across a partially destroyed building in Rafah’s Shabura refugee camp was the only civilian remnant of the Gaza neighborhood by the Egyptian border, which until the start of May had been crowded with Palestinians.
A bullet-riddled Sonol sign still hung on top of the rubble of what had once been a gas station.
Half destroyed concrete buildings stood, in some cases reduced to framed shells, intermixed with piles of rubble.
Large swaths of sand, covered what had once been paved roads, giving Shabura a dustbowl appearance.
The IDF brought a small number of reporters in a Humvee into this desert landscape on Tuesday, to speak with Nahal Brigade Commander Colonel Yair Zuckerman about the extent to which Hamas has integrated itself into the civilian area.
Just one week earlier, four IDF soldiers were killed when a bobby-trapped building exploded in this neighborhood. Now, however, an empty silence hung heavy under the bright afternoon sun, broken only by the soldiers on the road and the nearby tanks and tractors.
Zuckerman met with reporters on what he said was the 41st day of the battle for Rafah, in one of the more intact buildings in the neighborhood, whose occupants had fled.
Wearing a khaki uniform and flak jacket, he sat with them in what had once been a large second-floor apartment.
The windows were covered by blankets. The only civilian remnant in the room was a small sofa, with wooden trim and light brown fabric.
Soldiers had written on the white walls directional signals in Hebrew: North, south, east, and west.
The electricity was run by a generator, which hummed during the entire conversation and was broken several times with distant sounds of explosions.
The table in front of Zuckerman was filled with computers. Using the wall as a screen he mapped out how, soldiers had been able to enter Rafah, staying one step ahead of Hamas strategically.
Never-ending tunnels in Rafah, posing challenges to the IDF
"Rafah is chock-filled with tunnels," he said, adding that, "During the last days alone, I found 17 tunnels."
"There is almost no home without a tunnel," he said, as he explained that the tunnels connected the homes in the neighborhood in one vast labyrinth. Holes were also broken through the walls to connect them, he said.
To illustrate his point, he showed a photograph with an open closet door and behind it, a hole in the concrete wall.
Homes are boobytrapped with wired explosives that can be detonated at a distance, Zuckerman said, as he referenced the incident last week in which four soldiers were killed when the bomb was set off in a home believed to be free of such devices.
This is a different kind of battlefield, as he described the methodical inch-by-inch fighting that has taken place in Rafah, where soldiers are battling above and below ground.
"It’s slow and painstaking," he said, but the achievements "are significant."
Soldiers have found caches of weapons, rocket-propelled grenades, and long-range rockets, Zuckerman explained, as he argued that it was important that the IDF be given time to complete its mission of demilitarizing the area.
The soldiers here "understand that this existential problem rests on their shoulders," Zuckerman said, as he described a situation in which a myriad of small almost indiscernible successes, would ultimately lead to complete victory.
He did not want to quantify how long it would take to complete the mission, just that it was important to finish the job.
"We don’t want to leave until we have solved the problem," he said.
