Arabia
Yemen strikes Zionist military target in Tel Aviv Saudi Arabia, US naval vessels in Red Sea
The Houthis don’t do guns3x — for them it’s ululating with MISSILE S3X — W00T! Because it’s the shoot off that matters, not actually hitting anything.
[HodhodYemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
News] In support of the oppressed Paleostinian people and their resistance groups, and in response to the ongoing war of genocide against our brothers 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.

, the UAV force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation targeting an Israeli military target in the occupied area of Jaffa (Tel Aviv), using a "Yaffa" drone, according to military front man General Yahya Sare’e.

"The armed forces continue to confront the ongoing American aggression against our country. In response to its crimes against citizens in several governorates, the Air Force carried out a targeted operation targeting a number of enemy warships, led by the US aircraft carrier Truman, north of the Red Sea, using a number of drones," Sare’e statement read.

"The armed forces, as they fight this battle with valor, defiance, and faith, reaffirm, as they have affirmed over the past years, that great Yemen is resilient and will not back down from supporting and backing the oppressed Paleostinian people. It will not surrender to the American aggression, and will remain, as it was, and will always be a graveyard for invaders."

We continue to prevent Israeli navigation in the Red and Arabian Seas, the statement added.

"We will continue with trust in Allah to confront this brutal aggression, we will continue, with Allah’s help, to support the oppressed Paleostinian people until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted."

Missile launched at Israel by Yemen’s Houthis lands in Saudi Arabia
[IsraelTimes] A ballistic missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, apparently aimed at Israel, fell short in Saudi Arabia a short while ago.
This is where we point and laugh loud and long.
The military identified the launch, but no sirens sounded in Israel because the missile did not pose a threat.

At least 10 more US airstrikes on Sana’a, Hodeidah toll rises to 10, and an MQ-9 drone shot down
[HodhodYemenNews] The American aggression resumed its airstrikes on the capital, Sana’a in the early hours of Wednesday.

A local source explained that the American aggression carried out 10 airstrikes on the Mount Nuqum, east of the capital.

The source confirmed the airstrikes caused damage to many nearby houses.

Death toll from US aggression on Yemen's Hodeidah rises to 10
[HodhodYemenNews] The Yemeni Ministry of Health announced on Wednesday that the death toll from the US aggression in the western governorate of Hodeidah has risen to ten, with 16 others wounded. Rubble removal operations are still underway.

“Among the martyrs were four children and five women. The casualties resulted from a US strike on the Amin Muqbil residential neighborhood in the al-Hawak District of Hodeidah,” the ministry explained in a statement.

The ministry condemned the continued targeting of civilians and civilian objects by the US enemy, calling it “a full-fledged war crime that violates all international norms and laws.”

Continuous efforts are underway to recover and rescue victims of the airstrikes on the Amin Muqbil residential neighborhood in the al-Hawak District, the ministry added, highlighting the civil defense teams’ search and rescue efforts.

The US-led aggression on Yemen targeted several locations with airstrikes on Tuesday, killing several people as rescue missions continue to extract people from under the rubble.

Yemen shoots down third US drone in ten days
[HodhodYemenNews] The Yemeni Armed Forces announced the downing of a US MQ-9 drone while it was conducting a hostile mission over Jawf Governorate. This marks the 18th such incident since October 7, 2023 and the third drone Houthi air defenses have successfully shot down in ten days.

Suspected US strikes overnight in Yemen kill at least 3 people, Houthi rebels say
[IsraelTimes] Suspected US airstrikes in Yemen overnight kill at least three people, while the death toll in an earlier attack rose to 13 dead, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels claim.

The rebels meanwhile air footage they say shows the debris left after shooting down yet another American MQ-9 Reaper drone.

The Houthis say airstrikes targeting the al-Sabeen District in the south of the rebel-held capital, Sanaa, kill at least three people. The area is home to al-Sabeen Square and a major mosque that has been a gathering point for months for Houthi demonstrations against the war in the Gaza Strip. Other strikes hit the capital as well.

More airstrikes hit Kamaran Island in the Red Sea, the Houthis say.

India-Pakistan
Three Quetta police cops martyred in terrorist attack
[GEO.TV] A police mobile van came under attack of bully boyz that left three personnel dead and another maimed, police said on Thursday.

According to police officials, personnel from the New Sariab cop shoppe were on board the van that were ambushed by terrorists. Police officials said that bully boyz opened reckless fire at the personnel.

The martyred personnel include a sub-inspector and two constables, said the police officials.

Reacting to the terrorist incident, Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti condemned it and dubbed it a "dastardly assault" by the terrorists.

"We will take the bully boyz to their logical end," the chief minister reiterated, stressing the state is not weak and it will respond with full force by eliminating the bully boyz completely.

Last week, security forces killed two bully boyz during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Kech district of Balochistan, the military's media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said, adding the IBO was conducted in the general area of Buleda on the reported presence of terrorists.

The killed bully boyz were involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area against the law enforcement agencies as well as the innocent civilians, the military said.

The country has been reeling under increased terrorist attacks targeting law enforcers and security forces since the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021, particularly in the bordering provinces of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

Pakistain witnessed a sharp increase in terror attacks in January 2025, surging by 42% compared to the previous month, according to data released by the Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), a think tank.

The data revealed that at least 74 krazed killer attacks were recorded nationwide, resulting in 91 fatalities, including 35 security personnel, 20 civilians, and 36 krazed killers. Another 117 individuals sustained injuries, including 53 security forces personnel, 54 civilians, and 10 krazed killers.

Imran Khan backs call to make Pakistan ''hard state''
[GEO.TV] Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Wednesday that incarcerated party founder Imran Khan backed calls for making Pakistan a "hard state", stressing the importance of ensuring equal justice for all citizens.

Speaking to Geo News, Gohar quoted Imran as saying that a "hard state" would guarantee the rule of law and uniform implementation of justice.

"Imran said Pakistan should not remain a soft state, where the law is not consistently upheld," he added.

The 71-year-old cricketer-turned-politician, who has been behind bars since August 2023 after he was booked in multiple cases from corruption to terrorism, apparently backed the statement made by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir.

Last month, the army chief blamed the "soft state" image for the loss of innocent lives amid rising terror activities, asking for how long they [armed forces] will fill the "gaps of governance" with martyrs' blood.

"We need better governance... we should make Pakistan a hard state," he said while addressing a high-level in-camera meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, which was skipped by major opposition parties, including the former ruling party.

The in-camera session came against the backdrop of rising terrorism in Pakistan, including a major terrorist attack on a passenger train in the Mushqaf area of the Bolan district in Balochistan.

Dozens of militants, affiliated with the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), blew up a railway track and assaulted the Jaffar Express on Tuesday, carrying more than 440 passengers — who were taken hostage.

The security forces, after a complex clearance operation, neutralised 33 attackers and rescued the hostage passengers.

Addressing the crucial session, COAS Munir asserted that no agenda, movement, or individual is greater than national security. "If this country exists, so do we; therefore, nothing is more important to us than its security," he added.

"All elements of national power must operate in unison to achieve lasting stability," he emphasised, declaring that it is a fight for the nation's survival and the future of generations to come.

IDF says it has expanded northern West Bank counter-terrorism op to Nablus area
See also here.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it has expanded its ongoing counter-terrorism operation in the northern West Bank, with troops now operating in the Nablus area.

The military has been carrying out a major offensive in the northern West Bank, dubbed Operation Iron Wall, since January 21, mainly focusing on the Jenin and Tulkarem areas.

Yesterday, officers of the police’s elite Gideonim unit (Unit 33), alongside the IDF and Shin Bet security agency, detained Mohammed al-Bana, a senior member of the former Lion’s Den terror group, the military says.

The IDF says Bana was armed with an assault rifle and a grenade when he was arrested. He was also shot in the leg during the arrest. Bana was involved in numerous shooting and explosive attacks against troops in the West Bank, the military adds.

Troops of the Duvedavan commando unit, meanwhile, detained another wanted Palestinian who the IDF says was involved in shooting attacks on soldiers and was a “prominent weapons dealer” in the West Bank.

7 arrested during Jerusalem protest denouncing the war in Gaza
[IsraelTimes] Police arrest seven demonstrators at a small anti-war protest in Jerusalem earlier tonight, in Paris Square near the prime minister’s residence.

The left-wing protesters amounted to several dozen and did not appear to have blocked roads to traffic, but police made arrests regardless, confiscating signs bearing controversial slogans.

Participants held banners in Hebrew, English and Arabic demanding an end to Israel’s ongoing Gaza offensive and calling on Israelis to refuse IDF service.

In a clip posted to social media, a protester in a Pikachu costume — a viral symbol of the anti-Erdogan protests in Turkey last month — is seen holding a banner that reads “stop the massacre,” before a plainclothes officer tears it away.

IDF advances in Gaza, expands buffer zone to pressure Hamas, but no fighting taking place
[IsraelTimes] Defense Minister Israel Katz claims ‘great achievements’ bringing terror group closer to agreeing on hostage deal; says military preparing for ‘big move’ to defeat Hamas

Little to no fighting has taken place in the 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.

Strip since the Israeli military resumed its offensive against the Hamas

terror group several weeks ago.

The Israel Defense Forces has advanced in the Strip’s south, capturing the so-called Morag Corridor, located between the Paleostinian cities of Rafah and Khan Younis; vastly expanded its buffer zone along the Gaza border; carried out over 1,000 Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on Hamas targets, eliminating more than 40 bigwigs and mid-level commanders; and located several new tunnels.

The current offensive is aimed at "increasing the pressure on Hamas for the sake of releasing the hostages" and preparing the ground for Israel’s plan to "defeat Hamas," Defense Minister Israel Katz told news hounds on Wednesday during a visit to the Morag Corridor, an area where the IDF has previously not operated.

Katz said the IDF was bringing about "great achievements" during the resumed fighting, including evacuating the civilian population in Rafah and encircling the city.

But those "achievements" do not appear to be affecting Hamas for the time being.

Talks with the terror group to release the remaining 59 hostages still in captivity have seemingly stalled, and at the same time, Hamas operatives are almost entirely not engaging Israeli troops on the ground.

The terror group has also been recruiting more fighters and attempting to restock its limited weapon caches. The IDF estimates that the terror group has some 20,000 active fighters, half of what it had before the war.

Israeli officials have said the country is willing to engage in talks on ending the war in Gaza but will insist on achieving its aims — the return of all the hostages, the disarming of Hamas and other Gaza terror groups, the exile of Hamas leaders, and a new governing structure that does not include Hamas.

And if the terror group continues to dig in its heels and refuses to meet Israel’s demands, the IDF will eventually call up a large number of reservists to "defeat Hamas," Katz said.

"If Hamas continues its refusal and will not release the hostages soon, the IDF will move to intensive fighting across all of Gaza, until the hostages are released and Hamas is defeated," he said.

Some military officials believe that Hamas will never surrender, no matter how hard the IDF hits it.

Katz said he believed that reaching a new hostage deal with Hamas was "more likely than it was before" because of the new IDF offensive, which he said was pressuring the terror group.

"Moving the population, capturing territory, the continued humanitarian blockade, all of these bring strong pressure on Hamas to release the hostages. I hope that this pressure, alongside the powerful IDF activities, will work, and we will return to the path of releasing the hostages," he said.

Regarding the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, after Israel stopped allowing the entry of aid, Katz asserted: "There are no shortages in Gaza, and there is no intention to reopen."

Katz said that if a hostage deal happens, the IDF’s current offensive would stop "immediately."

But he said the military was still preparing for "the big move," which would involve drafting numerous reservists to defeat Hamas. "This will happen eventually," he said.

NEW CORRIDOR, EXPANDED BUFFER ZONE
Some 250,000 Paleostinians — mostly from Rafah — have evacuated areas in Gaza declared by the IDF as combat zones since March 18, and among them are many terror operatives who are choosing not to fight, according to military estimates.

The IDF launched massive strikes in southern Gaza before troops of the 188th Armored Brigade and Golani Infantry Brigade — operating under the 36th Division — entered the Morag Corridor area for the first time.

The Morag Corridor is set to run for some 15 kilometers from the Israeli border community of Sufa to the coast of the Strip, parallel to the Philadelphi Corridor on the Egypt-Gaza border area, which is also controlled by the IDF.

Once the corridor is fully established, the IDF will have effectively cut off Rafah from Khan Younis.

The military aims to operate inside areas of Rafah to defeat the remaining Hamas forces there, despite declaring six months ago that the terror group’s Rafah Brigade had already been defeated.

So far, the IDF has located several Hamas tunnels in the area between Rafah and Khan Younis, along with other terror infrastructure.

In all, the military estimates that it has destroyed just 25% of Hamas’s tunnels across the entire Strip since the beginning of the war. It argues that the main focus has been on Hamas’s attack tunnels and those used as command centers or for weapons manufacturing — the majority of which have been destroyed — rather than the numerous tunnels that Hamas uses to move around the Strip.

After Hamas’s Rafah Brigade has been defeated, the IDF’s buffer zone in southern Gaza will stretch from the Egypt border to the outskirts of Khan Younis — around 5 kilometers away — and include the entire city of Rafah within it — around 20% of the Strip.

The IDF’s buffer zone elsewhere on the border with Gaza has also been expanded from several hundred meters to around 2 kilometers in most areas.

Amid all of the new operations in Gaza in the past weeks, the IDF has only reported one incident of troops coming under fire.

With 20,000 active operatives and apparently no plans to surrender, it is unlikely that Hamas is too weakened to engage the IDF.

Rather, Hamas is preparing, just like the IDF is, for a much more major battle, one that would more than likely endanger the remaining 24 living hostages still being held by the terror group.

Israel army says targeted senior Hamas member in strike that hit Gaza block
[GEO.TV] The Israeli military said it targeted a senior Hamas member on Wednesday in a strike that Gaza's civil defence agency said hit a residential building in Gaza City, killing at least 20 people.

When asked by AFP about the strike in the city's Shujaiya neighbourhood, the military said it "struck a senior Hamas terrorist who was responsible for planning and executing terrorist attacks" from the area. It did not give the target's name.

At least 60,000 of Gaza's children malnourished as Israel's aid block continues
[GEO.TV] At least 60,000 children in the Gaza Strip are "at risk of serious health complications due to malnutrition" amid dwindling food supplies as Israel continues to block aid, says the health ministry.

No aid has entered the enclave since March 2 as Israel continues to seal vital border crossing.
Hamas warehouses are full to bursting with confiscated supplies intended by the donors for Gaza civilians. Hamas is making pots of money selling to those civilians at war profiteer prices, which of course leads to hunger for those with little money and few connections. Barring entry has nothing to do with it.
Barring of entry of food to medical supplies and fuel has forced the closure of 21 nutrition centres, disrupting care for about 350 children already severely malnourished, says the UN.
1. Lay down arms.
2. Stop strutting around like conquering heroes. You ain't.
3. Hang anybody who calls for jihad, against Yehuds or anybody else.
4. Try to at least approximate a civilized society.

Fun facts:
1. If there's a Paradise, everybody's got the same crack at it.
2. If there's not a Paradise and you get yourself killed for the sake of a non-existent Allen, you've expended all the life you're ever gonna get.
3. That means no 72 self-reflowering virgins. What do you get if you get an arm or a leg blown off? You'll get even less when you're dead, regardless of what your holy man told you back in the madrassa or the UN school. Don't believe me? Ask him how he knows. How long was he dead?

Once again, I ask.
How about getting our own nation in order, before feeding the world?

While I am sure we all feel bad for the kids affected.
The Gaza adults and their idiotic support of Terrorists willing to sacrifice all, including Gaza kids, for a Genocidal agenda.

Remember the recent last time #,#### trucks delivered food and supplies?
Remember how many were hijacked by the terrorists to refill their tunnels?
Remember how many were caught trying to funnel in war materials hidden in with the food and supplies?


NOW STOP & LOOK AT THE USA.

Google & Pull up the 2024 USDA Food Security Report.
It clearly shows, while the DC Swamp was dumping $$$'s Billions around the world
in 2020-2024, and skimming $$$ Millions for their own pockets in the process.

We here in the USA saw very significant increases in the number of US citizens NOT
being able to obtain or afford to buy basic food supplies.

The USDA own 2024 official numbers show: 47.4 million US people affected in just 2023.
Which was clearly 3 years into the O'BIDEN Regime and its PP handling.

NOTE: That number, included 13.8 million US children.

Question: If the Liberals, Socialists, and Democrats (LSD's) are
the champions of the poor, as they claimed. Then where #$%^& were they? Because even the Liberal MSM was reporting these numbers and who were affected the most. Yes!. The same voters the LSD's claim to protect and care for, all while they brought in 10.5 Millions more Illegal mouths to feed and house.

Based on recent DOGE findings, it seems many LSD's were filling their own Families pockets in creative ways.

Israel's defence minister says troops seizing 'large areas' in Gaza, expanding buffer zones
[GEO.TV] Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that the army was seizing large areas 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...
and incorporating them into buffer zones cleared of their inhabitants in a bid to force Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
to release hostages.

"Large areas are being seized and added to Israel's security zones, leaving Gaza smaller and more isolated," Katz said during a visit to the newly announced Morag Corridor bisecting Gaza between the southern cities of Rafah and Khan Younis.

IDF: Hezbollah working to rebuild Beirut arms production site in breach of ceasefire
[IsraelTimes] Terror group has allegedly returned equipment to facility — located under residential buildings, next to a school — that Israel bombed in November, as US urges group’s disarmament

The Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday that the Hezbollah terror group is attempting to rebuild a weapons manufacturing site in Beirut’s southern suburbs and trying to conceal its activity from a US-led mechanism monitoring the ceasefire, of which this would be a violation.

In a post on X, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man, Col. Avichay Adraee, said the weapons site, located under residential buildings and next to a school, was bombed by Israel in November 2024.

Adraee said that after the IDF sent the truce mechanism information on Hezbollah’s attempts to rebuild the site in early January, a surprise inspection was carried out.

"However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable...
aerial photographs show that Hezbollah, which had been informed in advance of the date of the inspection, had evacuated the engineering equipment that had been operating at the site on the day the inspection was conducted, and then returned it after it had ended," he said.

He added that the Hezbollah activity at the site is a "blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Leb
...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. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration....
under the ceasefire agreement."

The area south of Beirut, known as Dahiyeh, in which the alleged manufacturing facility is located, has long been a Hezbollah stronghold. The IDF frequently hit targets there during the recent war, including in the massive strike that killed Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah in September 2024.

Adraee’s post about the facility came amid calls to disarm the group, whose overland and air conduits for weapons were largely shut down due to Israeli attacks, the fall of Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

in Syria and crackdowns on smuggling by the Lebanese government.

According to a Tuesday report in the Saudi al-Hadath news outlet, citing a Western official, the Iran-backed terror group has shifted to using a sea-based route for smuggling, beginning to reassert control over Beirut’s seaport for that purpose.

A US envoy in Lebanon last weekend repeated Washington’s position that Hezbollah and other gangs should be disarmed as soon as possible, and that the Lebanese army is expected to do the job.

A Rooters report on Tuesday, citing Lebanese political officials, said that US-backed President Joseph Aoun intends to open talks with Hezbollah over its arsenal soon.

The report also quoted an unnamed senior Hezbollah official, who said the group was ready to discuss its arms in the context of a national defense strategy, but that this hinged on Israel pulling out its troops from the five hilltops in southern Lebanon where the IDF maintains a presence.

Ihab Hamadeh, a Lebanese MP for Hezbollah, rejected that report on Wednesday, telling Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
’s al-Araby TV that Hezbollah does not have unnamed "sources," and when it has something to say, it says it in an official capacity

#عاجل هكذا يحاول حزب الله اعمار موقع إنتاج في الضاحية الجنوبية ويُخفي نشاطه عن آلية الرقابة ويكذب على اللبنانيين: خلال تفتيش مفاجئ اختفت الآليات الهندسية، وعادت إلى العمل بعد انتهائه خلافًا لاتفاق وقف إطلاق النار

🔸يكشف جيش الدفاع أن حزب الله يحاول خلال الأشهر الأخيرة إعادة اعمار موقع تحت الأرض لإنتاج وسائل قتالية في قلب حي الشويفات في الضاحية الجنوبية، والذي تم انشائه قرب مدرسة وتحت مبانٍ سكنية، وذلك بعد أن تم استهدافه في شهر نوفمبر 2024.

🔸وقد تم نقل المعلومات عن هذه المحاولات في مطلع شهر يناير إلى آلية الرقابة، وبناءً عليه تقرر إجراء تفتيش مفاجئ في الموقع لكن الصور الجوية أظهرت أن حزب الله، الذي علم مسبقًا بموعد التفتيش، قام بإخلاء الآليات الهندسية التي كانت تعمل في الموقع في اليوم الذي أُجري فيه التفتيش، ثم أعادها بعد انتهائه.

🔸 هذا النشاط الخطير يعتبر خرقًا سافرًا للتفاهمات بين إسرائيل ولبنان ضمن اتفاق وقف إطلاق النار.

🔸يبقى جيش الدفاع ملتزمًا باستمرار تنفيذ التفاهمات بين إسرائيل ولبنان، وسيواصل العمل من أجل إزالة أي تهديد عن دولة إسرائيل ومنع أي محاولة تموضع من قبل حزب الله الإرهابي.

#عاجل This is how Hezbollah is trying to rebuild a production site in the southern suburb, concealing its activity from the oversight mechanism and lying to the Lebanese: During a surprise inspection, the engineering equipment disappeared and returned to work after it was completed, contrary to the ceasefire agreement.

🔸 The IDF reveals that in recent months, Hezbollah has been trying to rebuild an underground weapons production site in the heart of the Choueifat neighborhood in the southern suburb, which was established near a school and under residential buildings, after it was targeted in November 2024.

🔸 Information about these attempts was transferred to the monitoring mechanism in early January, and accordingly it was decided to conduct a surprise inspection of the site. However, aerial photographs showed that Hezbollah, which had been informed in advance of the date of the inspection, had evacuated the engineering equipment that had been operating at the site on the day the inspection was conducted, and then returned it after it had ended.

🔸 This dangerous activity constitutes a flagrant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon under the ceasefire agreement.

🔸 The IDF remains committed to the continued implementation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon, and will continue to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel and prevent any attempt to establish itself by the terrorist Hezbollah.

ISIS ramps up attacks in SDF-held regions: War monitor
[Rudaw] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) has been ramping up its attacks in regions controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) against both civilians and the Kurdish-led force. Over 50 such attacks have been documented since the start of 2025, according to a war monitor.

The US-backed SDF serves as the de facto army of northeast Syria (Rojava), and remains the main partner of the US-led global coalition to defeat ISIS.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) on Tuesday reported that holy warriors likely linked to ISIS launched a "machine-gunfire attack on a military vehicle" in SDF-controlled regions, northeast of Deir ez-Zor province in east Syria.

A day prior, the UK-based war monitor reported four other attacks in similar regions in Deir ez-Zor "within the span of 72 hours" since Friday.

The Observatory also said that "an oil investor sustained different injuries" after he "was targeted by ISIS button men" east of the province on Monday.

A day prior, a civilian was rubbed out by ISIS holy warriors north of Deir ez-Zor "on charges of collaborating with the SDF" after "he had received several threats" from ISIS.

On Saturday, ISIS holy warriors also bumped off a civilian east of the province, and the day before members of the organization launched a gunfire attack on a currency exchange office after its owner refused to pay extortion money to the group.

SOHR on Monday characterized these incidents as part of a wider resurgence activity by ISIS.

The war monitor noted that since the beginning of 2025, it has documented 53 attacks carried out by ISIS against civilians and employees of the SDF-held Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) in Rojava.

The corpse count from these attacks has reached 13, ten from the SDF military personnel and three civilians, according to the war monitor.

The SDF played a key role in defeating ISIS in Syria in 2019 and capturing thousands of the group’s fighters and their kin. The SDF operates alongside hundreds of US troops as part of the global coalition to defeat ISIS.

The SDF, through its military forces and affiliated internal security forces (Asayish), are also the main on-the-ground personnel responsible for the physical securing of the Roj and al-Hol camps in northeast Syria.

Roj and al-Hol camps house an estimated 2,600 and 40,000 persons, respectively, who are believed to have ties to ISIS and have largely been branded as a breeding ground for terrorism.

Since its defeat in 2019, ISIS has been trying to regain its strength, particularly after a coalition of opposition groups led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else

SDF chief Mazloum Abdi has repeatedly warned of the growing threat posed by ISIS, especially within detention centers and camps.

On January 12, Abdi highlighted that while 10,000 ISIS fighters are imprisoned in Syria, 2,000 of whom are considered "highly dangerous."

He stressed the "need to intensify efforts to continue the fight against ISIS if we don’t want to see it make a comeback."

Israel military aircraft crashes in Leb
[GEO.TV] The Israeli military's aircraft crashed earlier today due to a technical malfunction, Al Jazeera reported.

Israeli forces continue to target areas across Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel...
, particularly its southern regions, despite a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah.

Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reports that an Israeli drone targeted the vicinity of a public school in the town of Ramyah earlier in the evening, but there was no immediate confirmation on potential casualties.

Israeli warplanes also conducted several mock raids over Nabatieh, Iqlim al-Tuffah and Jezzine in the south, while a drone flew continuously over Tyre and its surroundings at a low altitude.

A number of Lebanese homeowners in the town of Yater located in Tyre reportedly received threatening phone calls from the Israeli army that they will be bombed if they do not flee their houses.

Israeli military drone crashes in Lebanon; IDF says ‘no fear of information leaking’

It's very trendy to be a rebel. It's a lot harder to build a successful state.
