Police shoot dead teenager who attacked man with knife in Australia UPDATE: teen was a known wolf
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Police in Australia have shot and killed a 16-year-old boy who attacked a man with a knife. The West Australian reported this on May 5, citing an eyewitness.

According to him, the teenager and the man left the gym, after which they quarreled and a stabbing occurred.

Police officers who arrived at the scene of the attack saw a knife in the teenager’s hands, two of them used a stun gun to no avail, after which the third security officer fired.

The wounded teenager was then given first aid, but his life could not be saved. Officers also found a man with a stab wound to his back, and the victim was hospitalized.

Police said the teenager had mental health problems, and Western Australia Premier Roger Cook said there were signs the man was being influenced by online radicals.

“But I want to reassure the community that at this stage it is likely that he acted alone and alone,” he added.

As Regnum reported, on April 30, a man with a sword attacked passers-by in north-east London. Law enforcement officers neutralized the attacker using a stun gun.

Earlier that same day, in the Moscow region, a man was stabbed several times during a conflict over shawarma in the area of ​​the Nakhabino MCD station. The attacker tried to take the food and stabbed the man several times during the fight, after which he fled.

In Australia, a man with a knife attacked visitors to a shopping center in Sydney on April 13. As a result of the attack, six people, including a child, died. Eight more people were injured.

Update from the Times of Israel at 12:55 p.m. ET:
Teen ‘jihad’ stabber shot dead in Australia not tied to Sydney young extremists

Perth attacker who said he’d act for ‘sake of Allah’ before being killed by police said to be unconnected with east coast group, one of whom carried out terror-related stabbings
Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
A 16-year-old boy who was rubbed out by police after stabbing a man in the Australian west coast city of Perth had been in a deradicalization program but had no links to an alleged network of teen forces of Evil in the east coast city of Sydney, authorities said.

The boy had participated in the federally funded Countering Violent Extremism program for two years but had no criminal record, Western Australia Police Minister Paul Papalia said Monday.

"The challenge we confront with people like the 16-year-old in this incident is that he’s known to hold views that are dangerous and potentially he could be radicalized," Papalia said. "But the problem with individuals like this is they can act at short notice without warning and be very dangerous."

On the potential for the boy to have been radicalized, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he was concerned by social media pushing extreme positions.

"It’s a dynamic that isn’t just an issue for government. It’s an issue for our entire society, whether it be violent mostly peaceful extremism, misogyny and violence against women. It is an issue that of course I’m concerned about," Albanese told news hounds.

Western Australia Police Commissioner Col Blanch said the boy had phoned police late Saturday saying he was about to commit "acts of violence" but did not say where. Minutes later, a member of the public reported to police seeing the boy with a knife in a hardware store parking lot.

The stabbing victim is a man in his 30s who was maimed in his back. He was in serious but stable condition at a Perth hospital, police said.

Three coppers responded, one armed with a gun and two with stun guns. Police deployed both stun guns but they failed to incapacitate the boy before he was killed by a single gunshot, Blanch said.

Blanch said members of the local Moslem community had raised concerns with police about the boy’s behavior before he was killed on Saturday.

The boy had said in a text message to associates, "I am going on the path of jihad tonight for the sake of Allah," Australian News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported, prompting several to alert police.

Police said the stabbing had the hallmarks of a terrorist attack but have not declared it as such. Factors that can influence that decision include whether state police need federal resources, including the Australian Security Intelligence Organization domestic spy agency. Blanch said the Western Australia Police Force investigation did not need additional federal resources and he was confidence the situation was different from the one in Sydney.

"We are dealing with complex issues, both mental health issues but also online radicalization issues," Blanch said Sunday. "But we believe he very much is acting alone and we do not have concerns at this time that there is an ongoing network or other concerns that might have been seen over in Sydney."

Western Australia Premier Roger Cook said his government and the state education department had been aware of concerns at the boy’s school about his behavior. Cook didn’t directly respond to reports that several boys at Rossmoyne Senior High School, the prestigious government school he attended, were attempting to radicalize classmates.

"I’ll leave that up to the Education Department to clarify," Cook told news hounds. "This young man was harboring some hard boy thoughts, which is the reason why he was part of the Countering Violent Extremism program."

Amanda Spencer-Teo, a parent of a Rossmoyne student, said multiple "red flags" had been raised about the behavior of some students.

"Parents have been raising this with the school for some time," Spencer-Teo, who will be an opposition party candidate at state elections next year, told The Australian newspaper. "The school and the department have failed to provide information to those concerned parents."

In the stabbings at a Sydney church on April 15, New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb declared the stabbings of an Assyrian Orthodox bishop and priest as a terrorist act within hours. The boy arrested was later charged with committing a terrorist act. In the subsequent investigation, six more teenagers were charged with terror-related offenses.

Police alleged all seven were part of a network that "adhered to a religiously motivated, violent mostly peaceful hard boy ideology."

Some Moslem leaders have criticized Australian police for declaring the church stabbing a terrorist act but not a rampage two days earlier in a Sydney shopping mall in which six people were killed and a dozen maimed. The 40-year-old attacker, who was rubbed out by police, had a history of schizophrenia and most of the victims he targeted were women. Police have yet to reveal the man’s motive.

Former Obama Education Secretary Attends Chicago Encampment with Radicals Connected to Burning U.S. Flag
[Breitbart] Arne Duncan, former President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Education, was photographed at an anti-Israel encampment next to a Chicago alderman who has received criticism for speaking in front of a burned American flag.

In a post on social media from the Coalition of Progressive Staffers from the Mayor’s Office and the Chicago city council, Duncan was seen standing next to Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez, who represents Chicago’s 25th ward, at an anti-Israel encampment at the University of Chicago.

Sigcho-Lopez was seen speaking at the encampment at the university on Monday.

Sigcho-Lopez has previously faced criticism from several Chicago aldermen and veterans after he was captured on video speaking at a rally in March where the American flag was burned, according to CBS News.

Two synagogues in New York were evacuated due to bomb threats
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Two synagogues in New York were evacuated due to bomb threats. The New York Post reported this on May 4,citing the city police.

It is clarified that police officers received information about the bomb threat twice on May 4. The messages were received at 15:15 and 16:30 local time (22:15 Moscow time and 23:30 Moscow time). The first synagogue is located near Central Park, the second is located in Manhattan in Midtown.

Both threats were later found to be false.
Someone having fun making threats, or someone testing responses?
The police began an investigation into the incident. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said her office is aware of the false threat incident and is monitoring the situation. As Hokul pointed out, attackers who tried to intimidate people should be held accountable for such acts.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that a suspect was detained in Warsaw for attempting to set fire to a synagogue using a Molotov cocktail in a bottle. According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, Radoslaw Sikorski, no one was injured as a result. A bottle with a flammable mixture broke against the wall of the building, leaving traces of soot and soot on the wall. The building was not seriously damaged.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israel Strikes Hamas 'Command and Control Center' in U.N. Building
[Breitbart] The government of Israel confirmed on Sunday that it had discovered a terrorist “Hamas command and control center” in a complex run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the U.N.’s agency for Palestinian issues.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel Security Agency (ISA), or Shin Bet, issued a joint statement confirming an airstrike Subday on the facility, which they said intelligence confirmed was being used as “a staging ground for multiple attacks on IDF troops located in Gaza’s central corridor in recent weeks.”

The strike reportedly occurred shortly before Israeli officials confirmed that the country had begun dropping flyers to civilians in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, urging them to evacuate before a military operation against Hamas.

In January, UNRWA acknowledged intelligence that found at least 12 of its employees directly participated in the atrocities, which resulted in the killing of approximately 1,200 people and abduction of an estimated 250 others. Leaked communications in an online group featuring thousands of UNRWA employees found that many celebrated the slaughter and openly prayed for the terrorists engaging in it.

Despite this, UNRWA insisted that its only objective in Gaza is to aid civilians, not Hamas, and that its operations are pivotal for the survival of the people of Gaza.

The IDF and Shin Bet accused UNRWA in a statement on Sunday of allowing Hamas to use a complex allegedly intended for humanitarian efforts to stage terror attacks against Israeli troops.

“Following precise IDF and ISA intelligence, IAF fighter jets struck a Hamas command and control center in the central Gaza Strip which served as central terrorist infrastructure,” the statement said. “The strike was carefully planned and carried out using precise munition in order to minimize harm to uninvolved civilians.”

“The command and control center was used as a staging ground for multiple attacks on IDF troops located in Gaza’s central corridor in recent weeks,” the agencies said. “Furthermore, the forward operations base was used to carry out attacks on humanitarian efforts, which aims to increase the distribution of humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians.”

The IDF and Shin Bet added that Hamas used the location to distribute weapons to terrorists.

“The Hamas terrorist organization systematically exploits the civilian population and institutions as human shields for their terrorist activities against the State of Israel,” the agencies affirmed.

UNRWA has long operated as the closest thing to a functional government in Gaza, in charge of the education of children, the little health care available for residents, and some distribution of food and other aid.
…thus freeing up Hamas to concentrate on the fun of violent jihad against Israel rather than the drudgery of governance. Yay.
UNRWA’s education efforts have been particularly disastrous, as years of evidence has revealed UNRWA teachers using antisemitic, genocidal Islamist propaganda to indoctrinate Gazan children.

UNRWA funds these activities with money from governments. The top donor prior to the discovery that UNRWA officials participated in the October 7 attacks, which resulted in a suspension of funding, was the United States. According to the State Department, the administration of President Joe Biden donated nearly $700 million to UNRWA between 2021 and 2023.

“We’ve provided over $890 million for Palestinians, including over $680 in humanitarian assistance for refugees in the region through UNRWA … When Secretary Blinken was in Ramallah, he announced another $50 million in funding for UNRWA,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in February 2023.

Biden administration puts hold on US ammunition shipment to Israel: report
[NYPOST] The Biden administration last week halted a shipment of US-made ammo that was slated to go to Israel — a decision that reportedly sent members of the Israeli government into a tizzy as they tried to figure out why the delivery has been withheld.

The move marks the first time since Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
’ deadly Oct. 7 terrorist attack that the United States has hit the brakes on a weapons shipment to its longtime Middle East ally, according to Axios, which learned of the decision from two Israeli officials.

When questioned, a White House National Security Council spokesperson told Fox News that the administration has supported Israel since Hamas’ assault, which left 1,200 Israelis dead.

Why?
Could it be they are just trying to buy Muslim Vote and donations?

OR

Could it be the O'Biden Regime & LSD Swampers are worried about possible US Civil Unrest issues, or a MAGA celebration on Nov. 6th?

Or both?

Israeli forces kill four Hamas fighters
[GEO.TV] Israeli forces Saturday claimed they killed five Paleostinians, including four fighters of Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
, in an overnight raid near the city of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank.

Hamas confirmed that four of the men killed during the raid in Deir al-Ghusun village were from its al-Qassam armed wing. The Paleostinian health ministry said their bodies had been taken by the Israeli military.

There was no information about the fifth man, whose body was too disfigured for immediate identification, the Paleostinian health ministry in the West Bank said.

The Israeli military confirmed the deaths and said an Israeli officer from a special police unit was maimed in the operation it said targeted a Hamas cell responsible for numerous shooting and boom-mobileing attacks.

It said the group was responsible for killing a reservist soldier and wounding a police officer in an attack last November and also carried out a boom-mobileing attack in April which maimed two Israelis including a soldier.

Israel Closes Gaza Crossing After Hamas Attack, Vows Military Operation in Rafah
[Breitbart] But Biden's Regime just stopped an Ammo delivery
Watch how quickly that blocked shipment is unblocked now that people have noticed.
Israel closed its main crossing point for delivering badly needed humanitarian aid for Gaza on Sunday after Hamas militants attacked it, while the defense minister claimed Hamas wasn’t serious about a cease-fire deal and warned of "a powerful operation in the very near future in Rafah and other places across all of Gaza."

Both struck blows to ongoing cease-fire efforts in Cairo mediated by Egypt and Qatar after reported signs of progress. Israel hasn’t sent a delegation, unlike Hamas, and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that "we see signs that Hamas does not intend to go to any agreement."

Another threat to the talks came as Israel ordered the local offices of Qatar’s Al Jazeera satellite news network to close, accusing it of broadcasting anti-Israel incitement. The ban did not appear to affect the channel’s operations in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, under pressure from hard-liners in his government, continued to lower expectations for a cease-fire deal, calling the Hamas demands "extreme" — including the withdrawal of Israel forces from Gaza and an end to the war. That would equal surrender after the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 that triggered the fighting, Netanyahu said.

Hamas didn’t immediately respond to Gallant’s comments. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in a statement earlier said the militant group was serious and positive about the negotiations and stopping Israeli aggression in Gaza is the main priority.

But Israel’s government again vowed to press on with a military operation in Rafah, the southernmost Gaza city on the border with Egypt where more than half of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents now seek shelter from Israeli attacks. Rafah is a key entry point for aid.

Kerem Shalom, now closed, is another. The Israeli military reported 10 projectiles were launched at the crossing in southern Israel and said its fighter jets later struck the source. Hamas said it had been targeting Israeli soldiers in the area. Israel’s Channel 12 TV channel said 10 people were wounded, three seriously. It was unclear how long the crossing would be closed.

The attack came shortly after the head of the U.N. World Food Program asserted "full-blown famine" in devastated northern Gaza, one of the most prominent warnings yet of the toll of restrictions on food and other aid entering the territory. The comments were not a formal famine declaration.

Gaza’s vast humanitarian needs put further pressure on the cease-fire talks. The proposal that Egyptian mediators had put to Hamas sets out a three-stage process that would bring an immediate, six-week cease-fire and partial release of Israeli hostages taken in the Oct. 7 attack, and would include some sort of Israeli pullout. The initial stage would last for 40 days. Hamas would start by releasing female civilian hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

Netanyahu claimed that Israel has shown willingness to make concessions but said it "will continue fighting until all of its objectives are achieved." That includes the stated aim of crushing Hamas. Israel says it must target Rafah to strike remaining fighters there despite warnings from the U.S. and others about the danger to civilians.

In later remarks for Israel’s annual Holocaust memorial day, Netanyahu added: "We will defend ourselves in every way. We will overcome our enemies and we will ensure our security — in the Gaza Strip, on the Lebanese border, everywhere."

#4  ^ Come on, man! Judging by Hamas's casualty figures, Gaza must be knee-deep in corpses by now. You gotta do *something* with all those bodies. Be a shame to let all that protein go to waste.

Or are you suggesting the the Daily Mail/GCHQ is trying to... what's a nice way to say this... shape public opinion?

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Hezbollah targets multiple sites in Israel
[GEO.TV] Amid the ongoing aggression on Gazoo
Islamic 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. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation.
and the occupied West Bank by Tel Aviv’s forces, Hezbollah — a Lebanese group — has fired multiple rockets on northern Israel.

The group claimed that it carried out nine attacks on the Israeli positions today, picking up the pace of border festivities as Israel says it is gearing up for a looming assault on Rafah in Gaza.

Hezbollah targeted the settlement of Kfar Giladi, Yuval, al-Samaqa and al-Malkiyya, the group claimed.

Russian Aerospace Forces attack militant positions in the Syrian province of Homs
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed two militant bases in the Syrian province of Homs. This was announced on May 4 during a briefing by the deputy head of the Center for Reconciliation of Warring Parties (CPVS), Yuri Popov.

“Strikes by the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed two bases of militants who had left the Al-Tanf zone and were hiding in hard-to-reach areas of the Al-Amur mountain range in Homs province,” Popov said.

He clarified that over the past 24 hours, no attempts by terrorist groups to shell the positions of Syrian government troops in the Idlib de-escalation zone have been recorded.

In addition, the TsPVS recorded one case of violation of deconfliction protocols by aviation of the so-called international anti-terrorist coalition led by the United States. In the Al-Tanf area, nine violations were recorded by pairs of F-15 fighters, a pair of Typhoon fighters, a pair of A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft and an MC-12W electronic reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft.

As reported by Regnum news agency, Yuri Popov previously reported that the Central Military Command recorded two attacks on the positions of Syrian government troops by terrorist groups. One Syrian soldier was wounded as a result of shelling in the Al Areim area in the province of Latakia.
