Army captures Boko Haram commanders, logistics suppliers in Borno
[THESUN.NG] The Nigerian Army said troops in the ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the North-East have captured two Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
commanders, Bana Yamode and Babagana Usman, and apprehended two suspected Boko Haram logistics suppliers, Mallam Mustapha Ismaila and Abdulmudalabi Haruna, in Borno State.

Director of Army Public Relations, Maj.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

According to the statement, Yamode and Usman were captured after they infiltrated the Damasak Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State on Sunday, August 4.

Troops acting on credible intelligence regarding terrorists’ movements were said to have apprehended the suspects.

The Army said the suspects, who claimed to be visiting their families in the camp, had previously led attacks on troops in the area.

The troops also apprehended two suspected Boko Haram logistic suppliers, Mallam Mustapha Ismaila, 49, and Abdulmudalabi Haruna, 30, and rescued two minors during the operations, the Army said.

"Meanwhile,

50 Boko Haram suspects and their families have surrendered to troops stationed in Bama, Gwoza, and Dikwa Local Government Areas. The surrendering came at the heels of upscaled operations against the terrorists.

"In another operation in Yobe State on 4 August 2024, three Boko Haram collaborators were arrested at Gubio Market in Gubio Local Government Area. During preliminary investigation, the suspects admitted to being involved in kidnapping and armed robbery activities in the general area. Items recovered from the suspects include two cycle of violences and several mobile phones.

"In Kogi State, troops arrested a notorious kidnapping kingpin in Egbe Community of Yagba Local Government Area. The suspect, Mohammed Bello, who belonged to a seven-man syndicate specialized in kidnapping unsuspecting citizens, has been on the security agencies’ wanted criminals’ watchlist.

[IsraelTimes] Arabic media reports joint US and British strikes targeting Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.

The Houthi-run al-Masira television channel says the strikes hit the Taizz area in the southwest of the country.

Two US naval destroyers hit by Yemeni drone and missile strikes, Houthis claim
[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] Yemeni armed forces have carried out three military operations against a container ship and two US destroyers in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, in support of the oppressed Paleostinian people and its fighters and in response to the American-British aggression against the country,

"By the grace of Allah, the missile force, the drone force, and the naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted a joint military operation targeting the ship "Contship Ono" in the Red Sea with a number of ballistic missiles and drones. The strike was accurate, by the grace of Allah," Yemen’s military front man Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e said in a statement this evening.

Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e confirmed that the targeting of the ship came due to its owner’s violation of the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Paleostine.

Sare’e added, "The drone force executed a specialized military operation targeting the American destroyer "Cole" in the Gulf of Aden with a number of drones. The operation successfully achieved its objective, by the grace of Allah. The naval forces executed a qualitative military operation targeting the American destroyer "Lassen" with a number of ballistic missiles."

The targeting of the two American destroyers occurred while they were crossing the Yemeni Armed Forces’ area of operations towards the northern Red Sea, as part of the American military protection provided to the Israeli enemy, he explained.

He noted that the results of the operations included the failure of the destroyers to completely intercept the missiles and drones, with several drones and missiles successfully achieving their objectives, by the grace of Allah.

"The operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the battle of Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad will continue until the aggression stops and the siege on the Paleostinian people in Gazoo

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Europe
Taylor Swift concerts canceled after ISIS plot narrowly foiled by police
[NYPOST] Three Taylor Swift shows have been canceled on the European leg of her Eras tour after police narrowly thwarted an ISIS plot to attack her concerts in Vienna — and authorities warned there could be other threats.

Swift’s sold-out Vienna shows – slated for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday – were called off after the terror scare, her Austrian show promoter Barracuda announced.

“With confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety,” the promoter said in a post on Instagram.

Two suspects — a 19-year-old living in his parents’ house near Vienna, along with another man — were arrested Wednesday after police raided the home, according to the Austrian outlet Kronen Zeitung.

A bomb squad found various chemicals and substances potentially being used to make explosives, and evacuated the home.

The pair were allegedly targeting Swift’s concerts at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium, where she is scheduled to play Thursday through Saturday night to sold-out crowds, according to Kronen Zeitung.

“The suspects were focused on the Taylor Swift concerts. We discovered that he was taking action to prepare for the attack,” said Austrian Director General for Public Safety Franz Ruf.

“A clear threat has been averted,” he said, adding that authorities had not yet declared the concerts entirely safe and were still investigating other accomplices, according to Kronen Zeitung.

The 19-year-old suspect is an
(imported?)
Austrian national, and is believed to have pledged allegiance to the Islamic terror group in July.

He and the other suspect are believed to have become radicalized online.

Security plans have been increased at the concerts.

Fifth Column
New York City Antifa 'journalist' arrested over antisemitic attacks
[PM] Now, if they would only actually prosecute this POS
I'm sure Alvin Bragg will get right on it.
A second suspect has been arrested in connection with a string of vandalism targetting the homes of Jewish members of the Brooklyn Museum’s board of directors in June. Samuel Seligson, 32, of Brooklyn, turned himself in to the police on Tuesday.
He is one of those independent photojournalist/videographers who mostly “report” on Antifa activities. No doubt he’s been working for years on a terribly serious documentary about a terribly serious subject in his limited free time.
A law enforcement official familiar with the case told the Associated Press that Seligson was accused of traveling in a car with the vandals and going with them onto private property. Seligson has been charged with two counts of criminal mischief with a felony hate crime advancement.

According to amNew York Metro, Seligson turned himself in at the 7th Precinct station at around 7:30 am. Police sources told the outlet that Seligson was allegedly the lookout for the vandals.

An attorney for Seligson, Leena Widdi, said that the NYPD raided her client’s apartment twice in one week leading up to him turning himself in, and said the use of the hate crime statute against a journalist was an "appalling" overreach, AP reported.

"Samuel is being charged for alleged behavior that is protected by the First amendment and consistent with his job as a credentialed member of the press," Widdi told AP. "What is even more concerning, however, is that this member of the press is being charged with a hate crime."

Sources familiar with the investigation told amNew York that Seligson allegedly did not have any camera equipment on him during the incidents. Seligson is an Antifa "journalist" who uses the alias "Thizzl" on social media.
The Times of Israel adds:
Seligson, who is Jewish, is a fixture at New York City protests and has licensed and sold footage to mainstream outlets, including Reuters and ABC News.

Seligson has been arraigned in Brooklyn on eight counts of criminal mischief, four of which are classified as a hate crime, and has been granted supervised release.

… How sad? These are the catastrophic consequences of stolen elections. And if we don't VOTE and successfully fight the cheat in November, this is going to be far worse

By the way, these criminals were released from Venezuelan prisons by socialist president Nicolas Maduro. This is why it's important that we keep talking about the fraud that took place in their election

**********************

…. "The city and the APD are also aware of concerns at the national level that members of a Venezuelan prison gang have arrived in the United States and established organized crime cells in cities throughout the country. APD leadership shares in those concerns and is actively working with law enforcement agencies across the metro area to conclusively determine if there is a connection between metro criminal activity and a specific group or organization. In the meantime, any such specific activity is immaterial to and separate from the city's code enforcement actions at the property and the building's inhabitability."

on Wednesday, four months after seven staffers were killed by Israeli strikes in an attack that drew widespread condemnation.

The WCK identifies the person as Nadi Sallout, saying in a post on X that he was "an integral member of our warehouse team from the early days of our response in Rafah and a humanitarian at his very core."
Lots of Hamasniks draw a second paycheck as staff of NGOs doing “good works” in Gaza, UNWRA being but one example.
The organization says it is still learning the details of the incident but that it believes he was off duty at the time.
Then what was he doing there at that time?
He was killed near Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, it adds, without assigning blame for his death.

Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s hit a convoy of aid vehicles traveling through Gaza on April 1, killing seven WCK staff, including citizens of the United States, Australia, Britannia and Poland. The Israel Defense Forces later called the strikes "serious mistake, which stemmed from a serious failure," and dismissed two senior officers and formally censured several others over the incident.

IDF says gunman shot dead by troops while attempting attack near Jordan Valley settlement Tuesday
[IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian gunman who attempted to carry out a shooting attack near the West Bank settlement of Beka’ot in the Jordan Valley was rubbed out by troops, the military says.

According to the IDF, troops of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit stationed in the area ambushed the armed suspect and killed him.

The troops had been ready to thwart the attack following previous shootings in the area.

A second suspect managed to flee the scene.

IDF: Bombs found by W. Bank shooting site, attack was likely to lure troops to blast

[IsraelTimes] The IDF says troops located four bombs planted near the site of a shooting attack in the West Bank, which were apparently intended to be used against forces chasing after the button men.

On Monday, Paleostinian button men had shot up the settlement of Beka’ot in the Jordan Valley, before fleeing the scene.

The military says it assessed that the button men tried to lure the soldiers into a trap on a side road in the area, in the direction where they fled.

The IDF then stationed soldiers in the area, and last night, ambushed and killed a gunman who returned to the scene in an attempt to carry out another attack. A second suspect managed to flee the scene.
... as though they had never been...
in a car.

Following searches earlier today in the area, the IDF says it located four bombs and electronic equipment that would have been used to detonate them.

IDF confirms woman listed as missing since Oct. 7 was killed during attack
[IsraelTimes] The IDF has notified the family of Bilha Inon, 76, that she was killed during the Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
terror onslaught October 7. Inon was considered until now the only missing person from the attack.

Her house was burned down by Hamas gunnies who infiltrated the community of Netiv Ha’asara via paragliders amid their murderous onslaught against southern Israel. She was initially considered dead along with her husband, Yakov, but a lack of DNA evidence led the IDF to retract that conclusion.

It was not believed that she was kidnapped by Hamas, as no other kidnappings were reported in Netiv Ha’asara on October 7.

The IDF says that recently located findings at Inon’s home, and that "after a complex examination and investigation procedure," it is able to confirm that she was killed on October 7.

Her death was declared by a panel of health experts, IDF officials, police officials, and the chief rabbi.

Five soldiers were maimed by the Hamas anti-tank fire this morning, including two at death's door.

The IDF says it worked to kill the terror operatives behind the attack.

"Terror activity in humanitarian areas and areas where the population is concentrated harms humanitarian coordination and the distribution of aid," the IDF says.

It says that deliveries along the route have been halted temporarily, "as the area has become an active combat zone."

The military adds that the Kerem Shalom Crossing, and other entry points to the Strip, including the Netzarim Corridor and two crossings in the north, remain open as usual.

The Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
launchers had been used for recent rocket attacks on southern Israel, the army said.

Also on Wednesday, the army called on Paleostinians in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun to head to "shelters in the center of Gaza City." Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man, said the army was preparing to "forcefully and immediately operate" against terror groups in the area after missiles were fired from there at Sderot and Ashkelon on Tuesday.

The IDF has carried out numerous small raids in Beit Hanoun since dismantling the local Hamas battalion there during the initial months of the ground offensive. Not many civilians are thought to remain there. In all of northern Gaza, fewer than 200,000 Paleostinians remain, according to recent IDF assessments.

Dozens of rockets were fired over the past week from southern Gaza, mostly at Israeli border communities, but several long-range attacks also targeted the Gan Yavne area near Ashdod and towns near Kiryat Malachi.

According to the IDF, those rockets were fired from launchers belonging to Hamas that were placed next to two humanitarian aid distribution warehouses, including one belonging to UNRWA, the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
aid agency for Paleostinian refugees.

The launchers were struck and destroyed, and the IDF said it had identified secondary explosions following the Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
, indicating that additional weapons were stored there.

"The Hamas terrorist organization regularly violates international law, while systematically exploiting civilian buildings and the civilian population as human shields for terror activity against the State of Israel," the IDF said.

"Alongside this, the IDF, through COGAT, will continue to work in cooperation with the international aid organizations in the Gaza Strip," it added.

Dozens more airstrikes were carried out in Gaza over the past day, targeting buildings used by terror groups and cells of operatives, according to the military.

A weapons manufacturing plant was destroyed in an airstrike Tuesday, the IDF said. According to the army, the plant belonged to Hamas and Paleostinian 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...
and was located within the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in Deir el-Balah, in the Gaza Strip’s center.

The IDF said it took "many steps" to minimize damage to civilians, including the use of aerial surveillance, munitions "adapted to the type of strike," and other intelligence.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth ordered the entire 614th quadrant searched. The Green Lensman must be found!...
troops with the 162nd Division killed several button men and destroyed sites belonging to terror groups amid operations in Rafah over the past day, the IDF said.

In the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, reservists with the 252nd Division killed several more button men in festivities and by calling in airstrikes, the IDF added.

#2  There are no "humanitarian areas" in Gaza because there are no "humanitarians" in Gaza.

#3  It seems almost certain that Israel will make no plan to leave Gaza. It will continue to level the city until the remnants will have to live like rats among the rubble.

[IsraelTimes] The Hezbollah terror group announces the death of a member killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.

The operative is named as Muhammad Hussein Taleb, from Burj el-Shemali near Tyre.

His death brings the terror group’s toll since October to at least 399.

...KABOOM!...
in southern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

Hassan Fares Jeshi was killed "on the road to Jerusalem," Hezbollah says, using its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.

Earlier, the IDF announced that it had killed Jeshi in a dronezap in Jouaiyya. It said that he was a commander responsible for anti-tank guided missile fire on northern Israel.

Separately, fighter jets struck buildings belonging to Hezbollah in Aitaroun, the IDF adds.
