[FoxNews] Bernardo Raul Castro Mata was ordered held without bail on attempted murder and other charges in NYC.
The illegal immigrant accused of shooting two New York City Police Department officers in Queens was arraigned on attempted murder and other charges on Wednesday, as prosecutors outlined how the suspect allegedly opened fire at "point-blank range" during a struggle on the ground.
Bernardo Raul Castro Mata, 19, appeared remotely from his hospital bed to be arraigned in Queens Criminal Court in connection to the shooting of Officers Richard Yarusso and Christopher Abreu.
Judge Jeffrey Gershuny ordered Castro Mato, who is recovering from a gunshot wound to the ankle, held without bail on charges of attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration, the New York Daily News reported. More than 50 police officers attended the hearing in person to show support for Yarusso and Abreu.

It is to be recalled that nearly 30,000 Yemenis went to Afghanistan and joined the Arab-Afghans in the war with the Soviet Union. Stupidly, they were used as cannon fodder. Stupidly, they new await the total destruction of a failed nation that is rushing pell-mell from the 15th to the 16th century.
[BBC] "D-Day tomorrow. Everybody quite excited. We land at Arromanches, clear three villages and Bayeux."
Discovered in a dusty upstairs room of a pub, the matter-of-fact entry for 5 June 1944 written in block capitals in a small, pocket-sized diary by an unknown serviceman feels understated.
But for Phil Smith, the landlord of the Bells of Peover pub in the tiny Cheshire village of Lower Peover, it never fails to excite.
"Every time I look at it, I get goose bumps all over my skin," the 44-year-old says.
The framed diary, open on the page for 5 and 6 June, has pride of place in the dining room.
Next to it hangs a map of Normandy's beaches carved into sectors on which the British, Commonwealth and American troops would land.
As fascinating as both are though, it is the room in which they are housed that has the greatest significance, as it was within its walls that the US finalised their plans for D-Day.
[GEO.TV] Just hours after when Mexico elected its first female president Claudia Sheinbaum, the woman mayor of Cotija in Michoacán state Yolanda Sánchez Figueroa, was rubbed out, as per the authorities.
Figueroa was walking back from a gym to her house with her bodyguard when people in white van shot them, said the state attorney general in a statement, reported CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... Both Sánchez Figueroa and her bodyguard later died in hospital, it stated, adding that an investigation has been initiated.
Hours after Sheinbaum won a landslide victory to become the first female president of Mexico, Figueroa’s death confirmation came.
Sheibaum’s victory marked an achievement in a country, which is known for its patriarchal culture and widespread femicide.
Notably, the recent elections were the bloodiest in Mexico’s history with extensive violence against politicians looming large during the election.
During the campaign time, dozens of political candidates as well as applicants were killed by criminal organizations in attempts to influence the vote.
Replacing the outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Sheinbaum will begin her presidency starting from October 1.

[Breitbart] The snoopy blanket is a nice touch
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealed Thursday that it had found an entrance to a Hamas terror tunnel inside a child’s room during operations in Rafah.
A Hamas tunnel was discovered by the IDF in the room of a Palestinian child in the town of Rafah, near the Gaza-Egypt border, June 2024 (IDF)
In a statement, the IDF said:
Over the past few weeks, the soldiers of the 828th Infantry Training School Brigade under the command of the 162nd Division have been conducting precise, intelligence-based, targeted operations in the Rafah area. The soldiers located weapons, eliminated terrorists and destroyed terrorist infrastructure in the area.
This week, the troops located a tunnel shaft inside a child’s room, and a butcher’s knife next to it. In addition, the troops identified six terrorists near a school in the area of the troops. The terrorists were eliminated by a UAV and tank fire.
The 828th Brigade Combat Team has completed its mission in the Rafah area and is now preparing for future operations.
The IDF has continued to move slowly through Rafah, fighting Hamas terrorists and eliminating tunnels, including smuggling tunnels along the Egyptian border. One tunnel destroyed this week in Rafah was two kilometers long.
The IDF also conducted a precise airstrike Thursday morning on a complex that it said was used by dozens of Hamas terrorists inside a United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) compound in Gaza
In a statement, the IDF said:
A short while ago, IAF fighter jets, directed by IDF intelligence and the ISA, conducted a precise strike on a Hamas compound embedded inside an UNRWA school in the area of Nuseirat.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists who belonged to the Nukhba Forces and took part in the murderous attack on communities in southern Israel on October 7th were operating in the compound.
The terrorists directed terror from the area of the school while exploiting it and using it as a shelter. Several terrorists who planned to carry out terror attacks and promote terrorist activities against IDF troops in the immediate time frame were eliminated in the strike.
Before the strike, a number of steps were taken to reduce the risk of harming uninvolved civilians during the strike, including conducting aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence information.
The Times of Israel reported that Hamas claimed that Israel had carried out a "massacre," and UNRWA said dozens had been killed:
The Hamas-run government media office claimed at least 27 people were killed in what it termed the Israeli "massacre." UNRWA communications director Juliette Touma told Reuters that the number of those reported killed in the Israeli offensive on the Nuseirat school is between 35 and 45, but it still cannot confirm the number at this stage, she added. It was not immediately clear how many of those killed were members of terror groups.
CNN parroted Hamas’s claims, describing the attack as an "Israel [sic] strike on UN school that left dozens dead."
Israeli government spokesman David Mencer told reporters Thursday that the terrorists who were killed included some who were involved in the October 7 attack. He added that the IDF had targeted three specific classrooms.
Mencer added that the school had been used for "staging attacks" and as a "forward operating base." He noted that the IDF had called off the attack twice because of concern about potential civilian casualties before proceeding when it was safest to do so.
Israel has long accused Hamas of using schools for terrorist purposes, and has accused UNRWA of helping it.
Hamas has been fighting back, attempting to infiltrate terrorists into Israel even as the IDF moves into Rafah. One Israeli soldier was killed Thursday in a gun battle after terrorists were seen moving toward the border in the morning fog. Three terrorists involved in the attempted infiltration were killed in an airstrike and in tank fire, the IDF said.

Just level everything and bulldoze it into the sea. Flood any tunnel found with poison gas and call it a day.
[GEO.TV] Hamas official Osama Hamdan said on Tuesday that the group could not agree to a deal that does not secure a clear Israeli position on a permanent ceasefire and complete withdrawal from Gaza. "We asked the mediators to get a clear Israeli position to commit to a permanent ceasefire and a complete withdrawal from Gaza," he told a press conference in Beirut.

Seriously, Hamas just wants/needs rebuilding time and will start up again in less than 5 years. In the meantime, Hamas members will just be Terrorists under another name.
[GEO.TV] The Israeli military attacked the central Gaza on Tuesday and killed at least 38 Palestinians, Al Jazeera reported. Among the dead were eight Palestinian policemen, who died when an Israeli attack hit their car in Deir el-Balah. Eight to a car? Cozy.

[GEO.TV] At least four civilians have been killed by an Israeli attack in central 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... , as per Paleostinian news agency Wafa.
A gathering of people in the Remal neighbourhood was targeted by the raid, reported Al Jazeera.
Additionally, the Israeli military announced in the early hours of this morning that they had launched a renewed armed aggression on the central Gaza Strip, specifically at the Bureij refuge camp.

Projectiles described by Lebanese Hezbollah as kamikaze drones were launched into northern Israel on Wednesday, wounding at least seven people including one who was at death's door, medics said.
The attack on Hurfeish, a Druse Arab village located 3 km (1.5 miles) from the border, followed a warning by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that long-running exchanges of fire with Hezbollah in parallel to the Gazoo

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... war could soon escalate.
Witnesses said a soccer field in Hurfeish was struck. There was no immediate word on the casualties’ identities. TV footage from the scene showed army vehicles and smoke in the field.
Hezbollah grabbed credit for the attack.
The Israeli military said there had been several launches from Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... at Hurfeish. The military said it failed to sound sirens ordering people to shelters, and was investigating the incident.

The army said the attacker, a Syrian national, was detained and taken to hospital for treatment and soldiers were searching through the area for other button men.
The US Embassy said small arms fire was reported near its entrance in the morning.
The facility and staff were safe, it added.
US Ambassador Lisa Johnson is currently traveling outside Lebanon, according to diplomatic sources.
A Lebanese security source told Rooters that Lebanese troops maimed the gunman in the stomach.
The security source also said a member of the embassy’s security team was lightly maimed.
An embassy spokesperson did not respond to a Rooters question on any injuries among the embassy guards.
Rooters verified pictures of the suspected attacker circulating online and geolocated them to near the embassy.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
A Rooters cameraman saw Lebanese security forces setting up checkpoints around the embassy as a US-made helicopter provided to the Lebanese army circled above.
Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister Najib Mikati said he was following up on the incident with the defense minister and security forces.
