-Lurid Crime Tales-
LA officials charge over 40 anti-ICE protesters who allegedly assaulted officers, horses and threatened child
[FoxNews] DA announces over 40 people face serious charges, including alleged attacks on police horses and officers with flagpoles

Los Angeles officials announced on Tuesday that over 40 individuals have been slapped with new charges stemming from violent riots against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts last month.

Of the charges, prosecutors pointed to a 17-year-old juvenile accused of attempted murder, two separate instances of protesters allegedly assaulting Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department horses and a man accused of injuring a police officer with a flagpole, LA District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a press release.

"The large-scale protests may have ended for now, but our work has not," Hochman said.

One of the suspects, a 17-year-old juvenile, is charged with one felony count of attempted murder, assault upon a peace officer, vandalism and two misdemeanor counts of rioting, according to officials.

Another protester, identified as 37-year-old Patrick Munoz, is accused of jabbing a flagpole at an officer as they attempted to break up a gathering outside a local hotel on June 11. If convicted, Munoz could spend up to nine years and two months in prison.

Munoz's attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Additionally, prosecutors allege 49-year-old Robert Amaya approached a family as they were leaving a protest on June 10, and subsequently pulled out a knife while approaching an 11-year-old girl and making stabbing motions at her. Amaya is charged with one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon and faces up to 13 years in state prison if convicted.

Fox News Digital was unable to immediately locate an attorney representing Amaya.

Another suspect, 29-year-old Iran Castro, is accused of pulling the bridle of a sheriff’s mounted deputies​​’ horse and grabbing the reins of another horse at a June 14 protest after being released on her own recognizance for separate felony charges, according to authorities. Castro is charged with two felony counts of assault upon a peace officer, two felony counts of animal cruelty and one felony count of resisting arrest. If convicted, she faces the possibility of up to 10 years and four months in prison.

A second protester is also charged with allegedly assaulting an LASD horse in a separate incident, according to the press release. Authorities have accused 66-year-old Dana Whitson of pushing the animal "several times," before hitting the horse’s muzzle and pulling on its rein at a June 13 protest. Whitson faces the possibility of up to six years and four months in prison if convicted.

Attorneys for both Castro and Whitson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The charges come after officials spent weeks battling rioters on the streets of Los Angeles, leading to hundreds of arrests as local, state and federal law enforcement officers looked to tame the chaos stemming from outcry over immigration raids throughout the sanctuary city.

"We are continuing to review evidence, identify suspects and file charges where the law has been broken," Hochman said. "I want to thank the team of investigators and prosecutors for their tireless efforts to ensure that those who committed criminal acts under the guise of protest are held accountable."

[ShabelleMedia] Somali special forces from the elite Danab unit have killed a senior al-Shabaab
... the personification of Somali state failure...
commander and eight of his guards in a planned operation in the Bariire area of Lower Shabelle region, the government said on Tuesday.

The commander, identified as Jaabir, was targeted in a raid on a hideout where he and his security detail were located, security sources confirmed.

"The Somali National Army’s Danab special forces conducted a well-planned operation in Bariire, Lower Shabelle, killing a senior hard boy commander known as Jaabir and eight armed bandidos forces of Evil belonging to the group," a brief government statement said.

Jaabir was described as the chief explosives expert for the krazed killer group in Lower Shabelle, responsible for assembling improvised bombs used in attacks across the region, the federal government added.

The operation also resulted in the destruction of several al-Shabaab bases and tunnels used for staging bombings and assaults in the area.

Danab Commandos, Conduct Major Offensive Against Al-Shabaab in Lower Juba region
[ShabelleMedia] Somali government forces in the Jubaland administration, supported by elite Danab commandos, carried out a major military operation in several areas under the jurisdiction of Badhadhe district in the southern Lower Juba region, officials said Monday.

The planned operation targeted al-Shabaab
... al-Qaeda's tentacle in East Africa...
hideouts in remote bushland, with direct festivities erupting between the military and members of the bad boy group, according to officers leading the offensive. The fighting reportedly lasted several hours and was met with strong resistance.

Video footage released by the military shows troops standing over abandoned bully boy positions, including makeshift trenches and bunkers, where they recovered weapons and other supplies allegedly used by the group.

In a statement, Somalia’s federal government confirmed that at least 19 al-Shabaab fighters were killed in the village of **Baqooqaha**, located approximately 13 kilometers west of Buula Xaaji. The government also acknowledged the deaths of two soldiers and injuries to five others from the combined Jubaland and Danab forces.

Jubaland authorities vowed to continue operations against al-Shabaab until full security is restored across the Lower Juba region.

Caribbean-Latin America
Twenty dead bodies discovered in Mexico, including corpses hanging from bridge
[FoxNews] Four decapitated bodies found hanging from freeway overpass as rival cartel groups battle for control

Mexican authorities said 20 dead bodies, including five decapitated corpses, were discovered in the cartel-plagued city of Culiacan on Monday.

Four decapitated corpses were found hanging from a highway bridge leading out of the city. The bodies' heads were discovered nearby in a plastic bag, authorities said, according to the Associated Press.

That same day, 16 additional dead bodies with gunshot wounds were found stuffed into a white van on the same freeway. Along with the corpses – one of which had also been decapitated – authorities found a note seemingly from one of the cartel groups. The contents of that note were not immediately disclosed, AP reported.

Culiacan, which has around 1 million residents and is the capital of western Mexico's Sinaloa state, has been wrought by a war for control between two rival drug trafficking groups of the Sinaloa cartel – Los Chapitos and La Mayiza.

Mexican authorities condemned the deadly acts on Monday. However, many Sinaloa residents say authorities no longer have control of the violence, according to AP.

"Military and police forces are working together to reestablish total peace in Sinaloa," Feliciano Castro, Sinaloa government spokesperson, said in a statement on Monday.

Last month, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Los Chapitos and designated it a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. In a statement at the time, the U.S. Treasury Department said the group facilitates the production and trafficking of fentanyl.

"Los Chapitos is a powerful, hyperviolent faction of the Sinaloa cartel at the forefront of fentanyl trafficking in the United States," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said last month. "At the Department of the Treasury, we are executing on President Trump’s mandate to completely eliminate drug cartels and take on violent leaders like ‘El Chapo’s’ children."

Gunmen linked to the Sinaloa cartel were also involved in the Oct. 18, 2024, killing of U.S. Marine veteran Nicholas Quets in Sonora, Mexico.

The Attorney General's Office of the State of Sinaloa did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Palestinian family said deported from Argentina as Milei toughens immigration stance
Ann odd little tale. What are we not being told?
[IsraelTimes] A Palestinian family of five were detained for more than 24 hours at Ezeiza airport in Buenos Aires before being deported, despite traveling with tourist visas issued by the Argentine embassy in Herzliya, a letter of invitation, certificates of good conduct, medical insurances, hotel reservations and return tickets, according to reports in left-leaning local newspaper Pagina 12 and Tiempo Argentino.

According to the newspapers, the family arrived in Buenos Aires on June 16 after having been delayed leaving the West Bank for Jordan, from where they travelled to Istanbul and then Brazil before arriving in Argentina.

The family says they were tricked into signing documents entirely in Spanish at the airport stating they were “false tourists,” thus allowing them to be deported.

The newspapers also reported that the Palestinian Authority ambassador in Argentina tried to intervene on their behalf but did not help.

Argentine Attorny Uriel Biondi filed a writ of habeas corpus with the Federal Criminal and Correctional Court of Lomas de Zamora for violation of their constitutional rights and international human rights treaties. The family, which has boarded a plane to Istanbul, claims their rights were violated and they were mistreated by being detained inhumanly.

This incident came as pro-Israel President Javier Milei’s has toughened his stance on immigration with increased deportations, restrictions on citizenship and charging foreigners for using public healthcare and universities. Milei seemingly has modeled his reforms on US President Donald Trump.
Perhaps the family looked like they planned on overstaying their visa.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Eight Russians Accused of Drug Transit Arrested in Baku
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] All eight Russian citizens who were previously detained in Azerbaijan on suspicion of drug transit from Iran, their distribution via the Internet, and cybercrime have been arrested. The corresponding decision was made by a court in Baku, the APA agency reported on July 1.

“In the Sabail District Court... a preventive measure in the form of detention for a period of four months was chosen for eight detained Russian citizens,” the article clarified.

It is noted that the detainees appeared before the court separately.

Earlier, photographs emerged showing Russian citizens detained in Azerbaijan on suspicion of drug trafficking. Their faces showed signs of beatings.

As reported by Regnum news agency, on June 30, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan announced that law enforcement agencies were conducting an operation in Baku at the office of the Sputnik agency, which is part of the Rossiya Segodnya media group.

On the same day, security forces detained the head of the editorial board of the Sputnik Azerbaijan agency Igor Kartavykh and editor-in-chief Yevgeny Belousov in Baku. Sputnik representatives called the accusations leveled against the detainees that they are “FSB agents” absurd.

The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Azerbaijani Ambassador Rahman Mustafayev against the backdrop of the illegal detention of Russian journalists and Baku's unfriendly actions. The Russian diplomatic mission recalled that Azerbaijan had no complaints against Russian journalists in previous years. The ambassador was given a verbal note demanding the immediate release of the agency's editorial board chief and editor-in-chief from custody.

Iraq
Two explosive drones downed over Sulaimani in day of security breaches
Could it be various Shiite militias on Iran’s payroll?
[Rudaw] Two explosive-laden drones were intercepted over Sulaimani province on Tuesday, officials confirmed to Rudaw, with one crashing in the province’s northwest.

Ahmed Latif, spokesperson for Unit 70 of the Kurdistan Region’s Peshmerga Forces, told Rudaw that both drones were brought down within Sulaimani’s borders. He specified that "one was intercepted in the Tasluja area," northwest of Sulaimani city, while the second was downed "outside the perimeter of Unit 70’s forces."

Latif confirmed that neither incident resulted in casualties or material damage.

Salam Abdulkhaliq, head of the Sulaimani-based Asayish (security forces) media team, corroborated the report, stating that "two drones fell in the Tasluja area within Sulaimani’s borders" on Tuesday evening. He added that the Kurdish security forces’ investigation teams were dispatched to the scene and have launched a probe.

Abdulkhaliq also confirmed no casualties were reported.

Earlier on Tuesday, a separate drone incident occurred in the Darkar camp, approximately 36 kilometers northwest of Duhok city. The drone, laden with explosives, caused material damage but no injuries, according to the Kurdistan Region’s Directorate General of Counter Terrorism (CTD).

The Darkar camp shelters Yazidis displaced from the Shingal (Sinjar) district following the Islamic State

(ISIS) assault in 2014.

"It is the first time our camp and subdistrict have experienced such an incident," Jawhar Mohammed, head of the Darkar subdistrict, told Rudaw on Tuesday, adding that the source of the drone remains unknown.

"It is the first time our camp and subdistrict have experienced such an incident," Jawhar Mohammed, head of the Darkar subdistrict, told Rudaw. He said the drone crashed near the camp’s school, igniting a fire that was quickly contained.

Civil defense teams from Duhok province’s Zakho city reported that three cabins at the camp caught fire as a result of the drone crash.

In a separate security incident the same day, Kirkuk Governor Rebwar Taha reported that three Katyusha rockets struck the city overnight. One rocket hit a residential home, while two others landed between the civilian and military zones of Kirkuk International Airport.

According to airport administration officials, the rockets struck at around 11:30 pm local time, injuring one airport employee.

It stressed that campaigns against ISIS remnants in the country are ongoing "to eradicate the remains of the terrorist gangs."

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
24 said killed in strike on Gaza City cafe; troops dismantle 3-km tunnel network
[IsraelTimes] Army says it worked to limit harm to civilians in strike; Hamas-linked authorities say 51 killed across Strip, including 11 near aid site, as IDF reports 140 strikes over 24 hours

The military said Tuesday that it was looking into a strike at a cafe 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 a rusty 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...
City the day before. According to Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
-linked authorities, the strike killed 24 people.

Separately, another shooting incident was reported near an aid distribution site in southern Gaza, and the Israel Defense Forces said it dismantled a tunnel network stretching three kilometers (1.86 miles) that was used by terror operatives in Khan Younis.

The IDF said Tuesday that it carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on more than 140 terror targets across the Gaza Strip over the previous 24 hours.

According to the IDF, the airstrikes Monday and Tuesday targeted terror operatives, anti-tank launch sites, weapons depots, military buildings, and underground infrastructure threatening Israeli troops.

The ongoing fighting comes as Israel’s recent conclusion of its campaign against Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has intensified efforts in Israel and Washington to end the war in Gaza and free hostages held there for nearly two years.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — who has held several cabinet meetings in recent days about the war against Hamas that have ended without a decision — is set to visit the White House on July 7 to discuss both Gaza and Iran with the American president.

Ground forces from multiple divisions are also operating in various parts of the Strip.

The 99th Division directed an airstrike that killed two operatives attempting to plant an bomb, while the 162nd Division eliminated eight operatives in an operational command center, the IDF said.

The 36th Division reported dozens of terrorist operatives killed and hundreds of targets destroyed in recent days.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella grabbed the cocoanut cream...
naval forces struck several targets in southern Gaza under direction from the 143rd Division.

ARMY PROBING STRIKE ON GAZA CITY CAFE
The IDF said it was investigating a Monday strike that hit a seafront Gaza cafe.

In a response to reports about the cafe, the army said it struck "several Hamas Death Eaters in the northern Gaza Strip."

Gaza’s Hamas-linked civil defense agency said at least 24 Paleostinians were killed and dozens maimed in the strike on the al-Baqa cafe, a prominent venue along Gaza City’s coastal promenade.

The figure could not be independently verified.

According to the military, extensive precautions were taken ahead of the strike — including aerial surveillance — to reduce harm to civilians.

The cafe and restaurant, which had so far survived more than 20 months of war sparked by the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack, had become a gathering spot for those not displaced by the conflict.

"There’s always a lot of people at that spot, which offers drinks, spaces for families, and internet access," said Ahmad al-Nayrab, 26, who was walking on the nearby beach when he heard a loud explosion.

"It was a massacre," he told AFP. "I saw bits of bodies flying everywhere, bodies mangled and burned. It was a bloodcurdling scene; everybody was screaming."

Another eyewitness, 35-year-old Bilal Awkal, said "blood covered the ground and screams filled the air. Women and children were everywhere, like a scene from a movie about the end of the world."

The Hamas government’s media office reported that photojournalist Ismail Abu Hatab was among those killed in the strike.

PARATROOPERS DISMANTLE 3-KM TUNNEL IN KHAN YOUNIS
In one of the largest tunnel discoveries in recent weeks, IDF Paratroopers operating in Khan Younis dismantled a sprawling underground network used by terror operatives in the southern Gaza Strip, the military said Tuesday.

The troops uncovered roughly three kilometers of interconnected tunnels, used by terror groups to stage attacks, store weapons, and move undetected. The operation was carried out in coordination with the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit.

According to the IDF, dozens of bad boyz were potted in close-quarters battles during the ongoing operation, which also included Israeli Air Force strikes.

The IDF said that its troops have destroyed hundreds of above- and below-ground terror sites, including tunnel shafts, command centers, and fortified hideouts designed for long-term use.

HAMAS-LINKED CIVIL DEFENSE SAYS 11 KILLED NEAR AID SITES
Civil defense front man Mahmud Bassal told AFP that, apart from the cafe strike, 27 others were killed by Israeli strikes or fire across Gaza, including 11 near aid distribution points in the center and south.

The agency’s numbers are unverified and do not differentiate between civilians and combatants.

Eyewitnesses and local authorities have reported repeated killings of Paleostinians near distribution centers in recent weeks, after Israel began allowing in aid at the end of May, largely for distribution through an Israeli- and US-backed group called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Israel has acknowledged responsibility for some of the deaths near aid sites, attributing them to crowd-control measures, but has said the reported tolls are exaggerated.

IDF says it hit more than 140 terror targets in Gaza strikes over past 24 hours
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says it carried out airstrikes on more than 140 terror targets across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, as part of ongoing operations against Hamas and other terror groups.

According to the military, the strikes targeted terror group operatives, anti-tank launch sites, weapons depots, military buildings, and underground infrastructure threatening Israeli troops.

Ground forces from multiple divisions continued operating in various parts of the Strip. The 99th Division directed an airstrike that killed two operatives attempting to plant an explosive device, while the 162nd Division eliminated eight operatives in an operational command center. The 36th Division reported dozens of terrorist operatives killed and hundreds of targets destroyed in recent days.

Meanwhile, naval forces struck several targets in southern Gaza under direction from the 143rd Division.

IDF says reviewing deadly strike on seafront Gaza internet cafe
[IsraelTimes] The Israeli army says that it launched a review into a strike Monday on a seafront Gaza cafe it says targeted operatives from terror groups.

In a statement to AFP regarding the incident, the army says it struck “several Hamas terrorists – in the northern Gaza Strip.”

Gaza’s Hamas-linked civil defense agency said at least 24 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded in the strike on the Al-Baqa cafe, a prominent venue along Gaza City’s coastal promenade. The figure could not be independently verified.

4 Arab Israelis arrested in Ramallah on suspicion of murdering security guard in Lod
[IsraelTimes] Security forces last night arrested four Arab Israelis who fled to Ramallah after allegedly murdering a security guard in Lod last week, police announce.

The four are suspected of involvement in the shooting of 54-year-old Pavel Rozov, who was on his way to work at the city’s police station Friday evening when he was hit with a round of bullets, killing him instantly.

IDF soldiers and police officers in the police force’s Yamam counterrorism unit arrested the four suspects based on intelligence provided by the Shin Bet, a law enforcement spokesman says.

Officers detained the suspects for interrogation in the Central District police’s investigations and intelligence unit. They will be brought to court later today where cops will request to extend their remand.

Police previously announced Saturday that they arrested five others on suspicion of involvement in the murder, including two women, who were probed for allegedly aiding Rozov’s killers.

2 Palestinians reported killed by Israeli troops in West Bank; IDF says it is investigating
[IsraelTimes] In response to reports earlier today by the Palestinian Health Ministry that Israeli forces killed two individuals in separate incidents in the West Bank, including a 15-year-old boy in Ramallah, the IDF issues statements addressing both cases.

Regarding the incident in Ramallah, the military says that during an overnight operation in the central West Bank, several suspects hurled stones at Israeli troops. In response, soldiers fired warning shots into the air. No Israeli forces were injured, and the incident is under investigation.
Life lesson: Don’t throw stones at people with guns, because guns throw bullets back much harder.
In a separate incident near the town of Ramadin, southwest of Dhahiriya, the IDF says troops identified a suspect attempting to cross the security barrier overnight and opened fire in accordance with the rules of engagement. The IDF says the suspect was struck, and the incident is currently under further investigation.

According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, 15-year-old Amjad Nassar Abu Awad was killed in Ramallah, and 24-year-old Samer Bassam Zagharneh was killed near Dhahiriya.

Yale Study Reveals Shocking Truth: Spike Protein Lingers – and Grows
[Breitbart] In a stunning political and medical upheaval, 12 U.S. states have ignited a firestorm by pushing legislation to ban COVID-19 vaccines — declaring them unsafe, ineffective, and a symbol of misplaced trust. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently triggered a major policy shift by removing the vaccines from CDC recommendations for children and pregnant women, citing new findings.

For years, critical questions have been silenced. The promise that COVID-19 vaccines were "safe and effective" is now being called into serious doubt — and the consequences may be far worse than anyone imagined.

Could the vaccines themselves pose a long-term threat? Dr. Peter McCullough has been warning the public since the early days of the vaccine rollout about the dangers of the spike protein — a warning he repeated just recently before the U.S. Senate on May 21. Time is running out. The truth demands urgent attention — now.

A recent study from Yale University confirms that not only does toxic spike protein linger in the system after a vaccine, but it INCREASES over time.

Yes, the body produces more spike protein after a COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. The underlying technology of mRNA was initially developed for therapeutic applications in genetic disorders such as sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis.

The Yale study stopped collecting data 709 days after vaccination, and spike proteins were still present in high concentrations — a very different scenario than a traditional vaccine, containing a dead virus.

Dr. Peter McCullough, the world’s leading expert on the COVID-19 pandemic and proper health responses, says the #1 question he receives from patients these days is, "How do I get this spike protein out of my body?"
