[Al Ahram] The Egyptian Armed Forces announced on Sunday the killing of four Lions of Islam during a series of raids on a number of krazed killer hideouts in North Sinai, as part of its ongoing anti-terror operations.
A statement released by the military spokesperson said that the Air Forces destroyed three four-wheel-drive vehicles and a number of hideouts that terrorist groups used to plan their attacks.
The Army also destroyed a camouflaged four-wheel drive vehicle used by Lions of Islam in attacks on the Armed Forces and confiscated two RPGs, three multi-purpose machine guns, one pistol, and 60 bullets of different calibres, the statement added.
The military also said it found during the post-raid inspection of Mokataaa village a number of weapons and large caches of ammunition, magazines, explosive charges, suicide belts, TNT explosives, 21 mobile phones, three laptops and one tablet.
"The Armed Forces continue with relentless determination their sincere national efforts to eradicate terrorism and pursue it in all strategic directions," the statement stressed.
The Armed Forces’ goal is to achieve security, safety and stability for the people of Egypt, the statement added.
On 7 May, the Egyptian Armed Forces announced the death of an officer and 10 soldiers as well as the injury of five others after foiling an attack launched by a group of Lions of Islam on a water lifting station in western Sinai.
A branch of the terrorist group 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.... (IS) — that was formerly known as Ansar Beit al-Maqdis — grabbed credit for the 7 May attack, which was the first major terrorist attack in North Sinai in recent years.
A day after the attack, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi directed the Armed Forces during a meeting of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) to continue purging North Sinai of terrorists.
On Wednesday, the Army killed seven Lions of Islam in an ambush near a security checkpoint. However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... an officer and four soldiers were also killed, while two others were maimed.
In 2018, the Armed Forces launched a major counter-terrorist drive dubbed "Comprehensive Operation Sinai 2018" that succeeded in almost eradicating terrorism from North Sinai as well as the Nile Delta and desert areas.
As a result, the rate of terrorist attacks in North Sinai has declined in the past few years following massive and successive security and military operations.

[IRAQSUN] Speaking of the recent arrest of 16 people having links with terror outfits Ansarul Bangla Team (ABT) and al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), Assam Director general of police, Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta on Sunday said that the police handed over one case to National Investigation Agency (NIA).
DGP said, "One particular case has already been handed over to NIA and shared information with Interpol to crack down Islamic radical groups in the state. NIA acted very actively.

'There is no conflict between women's rights and our ideology. To prove it, we've dressed up as ninjas to block public access to a statue of a suffragette. We're confident this has done wonders for our cause and definitely isn't an unintentionally hilarious own goal.' https://t.co/7zjICPqT3W
[Breitbart] Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador sparked controversy for defending his country’s soldiers after a video showed them retreating from a convoy of cartel members. The president claimed the escape protected the lives of cartel gunmen.
The issue began this week when Mexico’s military announced operations in Michoacan. Hours later, a video became viral showing groups of cartel members in SUVs chasing soldiers out of the town of Nueva Italia.
Soon after, Lopez Obrador said during a news conference that they must protect his federal troops, but they must also protect members of criminal organizations.
“They are human beings, this is a different policy a completely different policy,” the president said. “To me, that was a responsible attitude.”
The comments earned Lopez Obrador criticism from all sectors of Mexican society.
“Sir, he who mutilates, rapes, dismembers, murders women and kids, and burns entire towns, etc., has lost all trace of humanity,” said Adrian Lebaron, whose daughter and grandchildren were killed by cartel gunmen in the border state of Sonora. “You leave in two years, don’t leave behind a country of impunity.”
On Friday morning, Lopez Obrador doubled down on his comments claiming that he was attacked by critics for his comments about preserving life.
“How are we going to want for someone to lose their life?” the president said.
On Friday morning, the president’s spokesman, Jesus Ramirez Cuevas, said that the effort to push the soldiers away was done to stop raids on cartel laboratories. He said that the military was successful in raiding 5 meth labs and 19 marijuana plantations in Nueva Italia.
[Dawn] The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of police claimed to have arrested a ’terrorist’ allegedly associated with 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.... (IS) on Kandhra link road on Sunday.
A police spokesperson said that a CTD team arrested the suspect while on routine patrolling and found in his possession four hand grenades, 10 detonators and wires. He was later identified as Abid Gorgaij, he said.
"The terrorist was wanted by police in Jan 23 Ubauro explosion case. His associates Abdul Hameed and Imamuddin Pitafi were killed in the blast," said the spokesperson.
He said the terrorist was trained in preparing suicide jackets and bombs for use in subversive activities.
[DAWN] Two members of the Sikh community were killed after person or persons unknown opened fire on them near the outskirts of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire... , police said on Sunday.
In a statement, Peshawar Capital City Police Office Ijaz Khan said that the incident occurred within the jurisdiction of the Sarband cop shoppe.
He also identified the victims as 42-year-old Suljeet Singh and 38-year-old Ranjeet Singh, adding that they owned spice shops in the Batatal locality.
Police reached the scene soon after receiving information about the incident and shifted the bodies to the hospital for his appointment with Doctor Quincy, Khan said, adding that officials were also collecting evidence from the scene of the crime.
"CCTV cameras from surrounding areas are also being checked," he said, adding that a search operation had been launched in the area to nab the suspects who managed to escape.
"Those involved in the incident will soon be unmasked," the officer said.
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan took notice of the incident and order the KP Inspector General of Police to arrest the perpetrators. He added that the incident was an attempt to disrupt the law and order of Peshawar.
India on Sunday asked Pakistain to sincerely investigate the killing of two Sikh businessmen in northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province and take strict action against those responsible for the "deplorable" incident.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said India has registered its strong protest with Pakistain on the continued "targeting" of members of the minority community in that country.
Bagchi said India expects that the Pakistain government would look after the safety, security and well-being of its minority communities.
The two Sikh businessmen - Saljeet Singh (42) and Ranjeet Singh (38) - were rubbed out on Sunday by unidentified button men in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
"We have seen the reports on the brutal killing of two Sikh traders by unidentified gunnies in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar. Sadly, this is not the first such case or a rare occurrence," Bagchi said.
He said "grave concerns" have been expressed by various quarters of the Indian civil society and the Sikh community at this shocking and deplorable incident.
"We have registered our strong protest with the Government of Pakistain on continued targeting of members of the minority community in Pakistain," Bagchi said.
"We call upon the authorities concerned to sincerely investigate the matter and take strict action against those responsible for this deplorable incident," he said.
According to police, both the businessmen went titzup after being attacked by two bike-borne assailants in the morning.
"We expect that the Government of Pakistain, in the discharge of its responsibilities, will look after the safety, security and well-being of its minority communities," the spokesperson said.
[Rudaw] Two 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) members were killed in a fresh operation launched by Peshmerga forces in southwestern Erbil province on Sunday, while a Kurdish fighter was maimed, a commander told Rudaw.
Sirwan Barzani, commander of Peshmerga forces in Makhmour confirmed to Rudaw late Sunday that the latest operation in Mount Qarachogh by a joint Peshmerga and Iraqi army force led to the deaths of two ISIS fighters.
"One Peshmerga was slightly maimed and two ISIS fighters were killed in the festivities," Barzani said.
The Peshmerga ministry on Sunday announced that the force had conducted an operation in Mount Qarachogh, an area synonymous with ISIS activity.
"All the terrorist hideouts in the vicinity of the operation were destroyed and a large part of Mount Qarachogh was cleared," the ministry said.
Barzani said that several tunnels and caves used by ISIS as hideouts were destroyed in the operation.

Iraqi warplanes bombed a cave used as a hideout by ISIS snuffies in Qara Gogh, northern Nineveh, the Security Media Cell (SMC) reported on Saturday.
The SMC said that the Iraqi F-16 fighter jets carried out four Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on the cave sheltering members of the holy warrior group.
The attack was executed following intelligence coordination between the Counter-Terrorism-Service, the sixth axis of the Peshmerga forces, and the Joint Operations Command.
"A force from the sixth axis of the Peshmerga forces launched a search campaign in the area," the SMC said.
[IsraelTimes] Zubeidi was taken to an Israeli hospital after his condition deteriorated; terror groups threatened to ’open the gates of hell’ should he come to harm.
Daoud Zubeidi, the brother of notorious terror chief and Gilboa prison escapee Zakaria Zubeidi, has died of wounds he sustained during a shootout with Israeli soldiers, the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said Sunday.
Zubeidi, 40, was among 13 Paleostinian button men reportedly injured Friday in fierce exchanges of fire with Israeli troops in and around the city of Jenin in the West Bank, during an arrest operation carried out by police special forces and the Israeli military.
After he was critically maimed in the shootout on Friday, Zubeidi was taken to a local hospital for treatment, but when his condition deteriorated, he was transferred to Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
Paleostinian terror groups in Jenin — including both the loosely Fatah-linked al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades and Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... ’s al-Quds Brigades — threatened to "open the gates of hell" should Zubeidi come to harm while in Israeli custody.
Yeah, yeah. Whatevs.
"Any harm to the life of Daoud al-Zubeidi will open the fire of hell in the face of the occupation," masked button men apparently affiliated with the al-Quds Brigades read out in a statement on Saturday.
Israeli police commando Noam Raz, 47, was killed during the same shootout on Friday. Mourners carried Raz’s coffin to the police cemetery on Mount Zion for burial on Sunday in a private funeral, away from the press.
Zubeidi’s brother Zakaria is notorious for criminal masterminding terror attacks during the Second Intifada. A child actor who turned to violence, Zakaria Zubeidi became a senior commander in the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. He frequently gave interviews to Israeli media and became a familiar face to the Israeli public.
In 2007, the Shin Bet security service and the Paleostinian Authority reached an amnesty deal for thousands of Paleostinians who had fought against Israel during the wave of violence. Zakaria Zubeidi was one of them, and founded a so-called "Freedom Theater" in Jenin with a director of both Jewish and Arab Israeli heritage, Juliano Mer-Khamis.
Over a decade later, Israeli forces apprehended Zakaria Zubeidi, accusing him of having resumed his terror activities. The Shin Bet security service later said Zubeidi had confessed to two shooting attacks on buses outside the Beit El settlement in the central West Bank in November 2018 and January 2019 that maimed three people.
While still awaiting trial in September 2021, Zubeidi fled Gilboa jail — along with five other high-risk Paleostinian security prisoners — in an escape that transfixed Israelis and Paleostinians for weeks.
The six prisoners — five of them members of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad, along with Fatah commander Zubeidi — made their way out through their cell’s drainage system and an empty space underneath the prison.
Four of the prisoners, including Zubeidi, were captured in northern Israel within the first week, while the other two made their way into the northern West Bank city of Jenin and hid out there until their arrest on September 19.
Israel has recently stepped up its operations in the West Bank and especially in the Jenin area, from which several Lions of Islam behind recent deadly attacks carried out in Israel hailed. The violence has left 19 dead in central Israeli cities since March 22, in the bloodiest wave of terrorism in years.
Around 30 Paleostinians were killed by Israeli forces in the same period; some perpetrated the attacks, while others died during violent mostly peacefulfestivities. Still others were uninvolved civilians, such as al-Jazeera journalist Shirin Abu Akleh, who died under disputed circumstances in Jenin on Wednesday.
[IsraelTimes] Anniversary of Israel’s founding — which Paleostinians deem ’catastrophe’ — often sees heightened tensions, but few large rallies held this year
Paleostinians and Arab Israelis held scattered Nakba Day commemorations to lament the establishment of the State of Israel on Sunday, with the day largely passing without incident.
Paleostinians call Israel’s 1948 founding the Nakba, an Arabic word for catastrophe. Hundreds of thousands of Paleostinians fled or were expelled during the 1948 war as the nascent Jewish state fought for its survival.
Rallies are held every year on May 15, the anniversary of Israel’s Declaration of Independence. Israelis celebrate their state’s establishment on the Hebrew date, which shifts from year to year according to the Jewish calendar.
While the anniversary is often marked by high tension, the day mostly passed quietly across Israel, the West Bank, and 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 Hamaswith 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... , with few major events held. A large rally in which thousands of Paleostinians participated had already been held on Israeli Independence Day two weeks ago.
During a protest at Tel Aviv University, a few dozen Paleostinians rallied to commemorate the "catastrophic" founding of Israel. Three Arab students were arrested by police after a brawl broke out between them and far-right activists from the Im Tirzu group, with both sides trading blame as to who was responsible.
Joint List party chief Ayman Odeh condemned the arrest of the three students. Only one of them remained in jug as of Sunday evening; the other two were released without charges, according to an Arab Israeli activist.
"A salute to the student movement for their essential work commemorating the Nakba," said Odeh.
But, the Tel Aviv rally aside, the day largely passed without incident.
In Ramallah, hundreds of Paleostinians joined a large rally in the city center. An air raid siren resounded through the Paleostinian Authority seat to herald the anniversary.
Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... did not emerge from his compound to deliver remarks. But the Paleostinian leader’s office issued a lengthy statement on Saturday night calling for Paleostinians to resist "ethnic cleansing, settlement and Judaization."
"Abbas called on Israel’s leaders to leave the blind cycle of denial of the other, which has proven its futility and failure, and the denial of the legitimate national rights of the Paleostinian people," Abbas’s office said, according to WAFA, the official PA news agency.
Abbas repeated the Paleostinian Authority position on the establishment of an independent Paleostinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem.
The PA leader also called for the "affirmation of the right of return and a just solution to the Paleostinian refugee issue." Israelis consider the right of return for Paleostinian refugees from 1948 to be a death knell to the Zionist dream of a Jewish-majority state.
Scattered events were also held across the country in Arab cities and towns to commemorate the day. Participants lit torches and sang patriotic songs.
"My homeland, my homeland. The youth will not tire until your liberation," sang several young Arab Israelis in Nazareth, a national hymn.
[IsraelTimes] Apparent underground site in Masyaf related to nearby research center was repeatedly targeted in Friday’s Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s, imaging service claims
Images can be seen at the link.
An Israeli satellite company and intelligence firm published images Sunday it said showed the damage at an underground facility in Syria from airstrikes days earlier that were attributed to Israel.
On Friday night at least five people were killed and seven others were hurt in the alleged Israeli airstrike in the northwestern Masyaf region of Syria, the country’s state news agency said. ... and if you can't believe the state news agency who can you believe? Other media in the country said six were killed, all crew members of a Pantsir air defense system who attempted to take down the purported Israeli missiles.
ImageSat International (ISI) said the airstrikes targeted an apparent underground facility. "The structures were used as an entrance to underground tunnels. ISI has detected that the structures have been completely destroyed," the firm said.
The site was also struck in September 2018, and had since been rebuilt, according to ISI’s imagery. The firm said it assessed that the facility was related to the nearby Scientific Studies and Research Center, known as CERS, which was struck in airstrikes attributed to Israel in April.
The Masyaf area is thought to be used as a base for Iranian forces and pro-Iranian militias and has been repeatedly targeted in recent years in attacks attributed to Israel.
Western officials have long associated CERS with the manufacture of chemical arms. According to the United States, sarin gas was developed at that center, a charge denied by the Syrian authorities. The site has been struck numerous times in the past.
Friday’s airstrikes were the second alleged Israeli strike on the country in days, after missiles were reportedly launched at a site just across the border from Israel in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday.
There was no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces, which does not normally comment on individual strikes.

Wondering Out Loud.
Given the increasingly anti-Semitic / anti-Israel actions of antifa and blm...
[Iraq Sun] 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 JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... has abruptly raised prices as much as 300 percent for a variety of staple foods, including cooking oil, chicken, eggs and milk.
In the hours before the price hike took effect, many Iranians waited in long lines to buy food and emptied supermarket shelves across the country.
Also last week, Iran's currency dropped to a low of 300,000 rial to the dollar.
Internet disruptions have been reported across Iran, as the government braced for possible unrest, advocacy group NetBlocks.org said.
Across the Middle East, food prices surged due to global supply chain issues and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which both export many essentials items.
Drought is also ravaging Iran's economy, along with Western sanctions over Iran's nuclear deal.
With inflation soaring to nearly 40 percent, the highest level since 1994, youth unemployment has also remained high. Iran's Statistics Center reported some 30 percent of Iranian households are living below the poverty line.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has promised to create jobs, lift sanctions and rescue the economy, but talks to revive the nuclear deal with world powers remain deadlocked.
As Iranians complain about the rising prices of flour, the top trending hashtag on Twitter in recent weeks has been #macaroni.
As she browsed a supermarket in Tehran, Mina Tehrani, a mother of three, told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named, "I am sure the government does not care about average people."
Tehran resident Hassan Shahbazzadeh also complained that Iranians had forgone meat or dairy to save money, and now have nothing left to cut.
"Now, even macaroni is taken off their dining tables," he said.
As online outrage over rising inflation increases, Iranian authorities appear to be bracing for the worst.
Last week, Article 19, a global research organization that fights censorship, reported that authorities have shut down almost all internet connectivity in cities across Khuzestan province.
Recent videos have appeared on social media of Iranians gathering in the streets of southern Khuzestan, chanting slogans against price hikes and against the country's leaders.
"The issue of high prices is security-related. People cannot tolerate it anymore," politician Majid Nasserinejad was reported to have warned.

Screw IRAN
US HAS MANY Hidden Price Hikes!
Next time you pick up a can of something, look at the label for its NEW size.
Here in the USA, you might notice a lot of suppliers have moved away from 16 oz cans and/or started to 15.25 to 15.75 OZ. for fill levels. A 6.5+% increase for a still priced $1 can of whole corn. Some have increased the price to $1.19 for a can of whole kernel corn, or 7.8% more $$.
The 2 major brands of Coffee in Sam's club both have reduced size amounts. 48 OZ is now 41.5 OZ and the price is about $1.20 more also.
So some vendors are putting less in theirs cans, some
made "New and Improved" packaging and etc...
Some stores have switched from price per LBS, to Price per OZ to throw you off.
We restocked Pink Canned Salmon, great for Fried Fish Cakes, this past weekend. The price has gone from $2.75 a can to $4.79 (the new normal).
We caught a limited special at our KJ's Supermarket at 2 for $6 and bought 10 cans (Best By Date 9/2026).
Some of y'all might remember, during the Pandemic, Coke was going 5x 6 packs for $10. It now is 4 for $11 and the Best by Date was less 40 days out????
So Again I say Screw IRAN, we have our own problems.
But their problem is similar to ours. It is called
Political Leaders dabbling in economy management.
BTW: I should mention that IRAN's Leaders seem to have plenty of $$$$$$$$ to spend on developing Nuclear Weapons, according to the Biden Coup and Deep State.
Like all countries ruled by a heavy hand.
Starving people are incidental issues when you rule by the sword and restrict their freedoms and rights.
