When WW -II ended dad was troubled about what to do with his life so he went camping in the Red Rocks (MT) and would take long walks. Sally Rand was staying with a BF in the same park and used to join him for the long walks... (they did nothing but walk and talk)..
[Breitbart] Wisconsin police reported that a suspected Venezuelan gang member was arrested and charged with the sexual and physical assault of a woman.
Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate, 26, was charged with two counts of domestic battery, two counts of second-degree sexual assault, physically abusing a child, disorderly conduct, domestic disorderly conduct, and strangulation/suffocation, the Prairie du Chien Police Department announced in a post on Facebook.
Zarate, who is suspected of being affiliated with a “violent transnational criminal organization” called Tren de Aragua, was arrested and booked into the Crawford County Jail after police officers responded to reports that a suspect was being “physically and sexually violent” with an adult woman.
“A female juvenile was also located and found to have been injured during the physical altercation that took place,” police noted.
“Mr. Coronel Zarate was brought to Prairie du Chien from the Dane County area,” Chief of Police Kyle Teynor said in a statement:
The victims in this case knew Mr. Coronel Zarate, this was not a random event. This incident highlights the need to be aware of the dangers that affiliates of these transactional criminal organizations pose to our communities. Violence towards others, no matter the circumstances, cannot be tolerated in our community. Our agency remains committed to holding violent actors accountable for their criminal offences [sic].
Tren de Aragua is a transnational crime organization known for criminal activities including “homicide, abduction, extortion, drug trafficking, arms/weapons trafficking, human smuggling, and human trafficking.”
As Breitbart News has previously reported, Tren de Aragua has been terrorizing several cities in the United States, including Chicago, Illinois; Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; and Miami, Florida.
Authorities from the Cook County Sheriff’s Office in Chicago, Illinois, reportedly confirmed the presence of Tren de Aragua’s gang members in the city since at least October 2023 — weeks after the “raid” of Tocoron.
In the months following the “raid,” other U.S. cities began reporting criminal acts linked to the gang. U.S. authorities have confirmed the active presence of Tren de Aragua in other cities, such as Miami, New York, Dallas, and Atlanta. According to internal documentation from the Department of Homeland Security, Tren de Aragua has given the “green light” to its members to attack U.S. law enforcement officers.

We’re up to six or seven now, BrerRabbit. That we’ve had reports of here. It sounds like they’re actually pretty much everywhere — damn the current administration to the depths of Hell.
If I were federal bureaucrat, looking at the strong possibility of a Trump administration, I’d start working up steps for my group to quickly return my area of responsibility to historic norms and standards. A purge is predicted, so being able to walk into that “goodbye” meeting showing that you’re on board and useful will be what it takes to keep some people able to continue paying their Northern Virginia and Maryland mortgages.

Yes, Dane County is home to Madison (AKA '90 square miles surrounded by reality').
Crawford County is also pretty 2A and Gadsen outside the city of Prairie Du Chien. The amigos might not want to settle there because 'stuff happens'.

My favorite hot-take spin about Aurora is something like, "Well AHHKSHUally, TdA has been operating in Aurora since last November so this isn't really news, hater bigots."
[Breitbart] Kansas's fentanyl crisis is a ''very dangerous situation,'' according to law enforcement officials, as the synthetic opioid has caused approximately 80 percent of drug overdose deaths in one of the state's most populous areas.
Authorities from Sedgwick County, which has a population of more than 520,000 people, revealed that police seized a whopping 750,000 fentanyl pills so far in 2024, KWCH12 reported Thursday.
Even with the massive police efforts to crack down on drug trafficking, the problem is far from over.
''This stuff is extremely strong. We're not seeing where one dose of Narcan is bringing people back. It's multiple doses that we're having to administer, and the most we've administered to somebody is five,'' Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter told the local outlet.
''It's very dangerous. If it's not cut with something before it comes here, if it's straight fentanyl powder, that type of pow[d]er can soak through your system; you can breathe it,'' he explained.
Easter hopes that additions to police staff and opioid settlement money will lead to a substantial change in the area.
[Breitbart] More than two pounds of fentanyl were seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents after it washed ashore in Daytona Beach, Florida, officials said Thursday.
An unsuspecting beachgoer found the drugs and contacted police, Andrew Scharnweber of CBP's Miami sector announced on X:
A photo added in the post shows a massive plastic-wrapped brick of the dangerous white powder.
''Warning — Do not attempt to disturb or handle any suspicious packages along the shoreline. Contact local authorities immediately,'' Scharnweber wrote.
No other details about the origins of the fentanyl were immediately available.
This discovery hit Florida just weeks after a massive amount of fentanyl that could have killed three million people was seized in a drug trafficking investigation that spanned multiple counties, Breitbart News reported.

[Regnum] Pakistani border troops and members of the Taliban movement (the organization is under UN sanctions for terrorist activities) who seized power in Afghanistan resumed fighting on September 7 in the disputed border area in the Afghan province of Khost. This was reported by the Tolo News TV channel, citing a source.
“On Saturday at approximately 16:00 (14:30. - Ed.) more clashes occurred between Afghan and Pakistani forces along the Durand Line in the Zazi Maidan district of Khost province,” the report said.
According to the TV channel, the fighting continues. The parties are using heavy weapons, among other things. Earlier, clashes on the border were reported on September 4.
The Durand Line is a barbed wire fence that Pakistani authorities began installing on the border with Afghanistan in 2017.
The fence in 2017, yes. The Durand Line was drawn on the map by the British empire generations ago.
Kabul does not recognize the division between the countries. The territorial dispute has been ongoing since the formation of independent Pakistan in 1947.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, there have previously been battles between Afghanistan and Pakistan in border areas, which have resulted in casualties among military personnel.
In November 2022, Kabul and Islamabad tried to negotiate an end to the conflict, but failed to reach an agreement.
[LIBYAREVIEW] The Libyan Attorney General has announced the conviction of Mohamed Bahroun, also known as ''Al-Far,'' the commander of the First Support Division, and one of his aides in the assassination of Abdelrahman Milad, widely known as ''Al-Bija.''
Today, Saturday, the judicial officer sent the preliminary procedural documents related to the assassination case of the deceased, Abdelrahman Salem Milad.
On Friday, the Office of the Attorney General confirmed that Mohamed Bahroun, commonly known as 'Al-Far', the commander of the First Support Brigade, has voluntarily submitted to investigative procedures related to the assassination of citizen Abdel Rahman Salem Milad, famously known as 'Al Bija'.
The judicial control unit of the Attorney General's Office took custody of Bahroun on Thursday, who complied voluntarily with the search and investigation processes. The assigned judicial officer has begun hearing his testimony and will present the findings to the investigative authority.
On Wednesday, the Office revealed that the investigative authority had directed the judicial officer to hear the testimony of the suspect who surrendered himself in the assassination case. Furthermore, the authority has issued orders to detain three additional suspects found to be implicated in the crime; the Interior Ministry has been directed to enforce these orders.
The Attorney General's Office disclosed that the investigative authority had managed to clarify the identities of two suspects believed to be involved in the assassination that took place between Tripoli and Zawiya.
[Breitbart] Libya's coasties intercepted dozens of Europe-bound migrants colonists on a boat and returned them to shore, authorities said Saturday, a few days after a shipwreck off the North African country left nearly two dozen dead or missing.
The boat was carrying 64 migrants colonists and was intercepted Friday off the northwestern town of Sirte, according to the town's coasties unit. It posted images on Facebook showing dozens of migrants colonists, including at least one woman and a child, upon their return. The coasties also set the migrant boat on fire, a procedure aimed at preventing its reuse by traffickers.
On Wednesday, a boat carrying 32 migrants colonists from Egypt and Syria capsized off Libya's eastern town of Tobruk, leaving 22 missing and presumed dead. The Libyan coasties said it rescued nine people and recovered one body.

[IsraelTimes] Authorities claim Iranian spies recruited locals to attack ex-employee of Israeli security firm and others in Gay Paree, Munich and Berlin, set fire to Israeli-owned businesses
A Gay Paree court in May detained and charged a couple on accusations that they were involved in Iranian plots to kill Israelis and Jews in Germany and La Belle France, police sources told AFP.
Authorities charged Abdelkrim S., 34, and his partner Sabrina B., 33, on May 4 with conspiring with a criminal terrorist organization and placed them in pre-trial detention.
The case, known as "Marco Polo" and revealed Thursday by French news website Mediapart, signals a revival in Iranian state-sponsored terrorism in Europe, according to a report by La Belle France’s General Directorate for Internal Security consulted by AFP.
"Since 2015, the Iranian [secret] services have resumed a assassination policy," the French security agency wrote, adding that "the threat has worsened again in the context of the Israel-Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... war."
The alleged objective for Iranian intelligence was to target civilians and sow fear in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... among the country’s political opposition as well as among Jews and Israelis.
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... is accused of recruiting criminals, including drug lords, to conduct such operations.
Abdelkrim S. was previously sentenced to 10 years behind bars over a killing in Marseille and released on probation in July 2023.
He is accused of being the main La Belle France-based operative for an Iran-sponsored terrorist cell that planned acts of violence in La Belle France and Germany.
A former fellow inmate is believed to have connected the suspect with the cell’s coordinator, a major narco from the Lyon area who likely visited Iran in May, according to the DGSI.
The group intended to attack a Gay Paree-based former employee of an Israeli security firm and three of his colleagues residing in the Gay Paree suburbs.
Three Israeli-German citizens in Munich and Berlin were also among the targets.
Investigators believe that Abdelkrim S. made multiple trips to Germany for scouting purposes, despite his probation, including travels to Berlin with his wife.
He denied the accusations and said he simply had purchases to make.
French authorities are also crediting the cell with plots to set fire to four Israeli-owned companies in the south of La Belle France between late December 2023 and early January 2024, said a police source.
Abdelkrim S. rejected the claims, the source added, saying he had acted as a go-between on the Telegram messaging app for the criminal mastermind and other individuals involved in a planned insurance scam.
The University of Minnesota's Board of Regents rejected a proposal to divest from companies connected to Israel, despite significant student opposition.
The decision followed a months-long review process that included expert analysis and community input.
A task force charged with reporting on antisemitism at Harvard concluded in June that Israeli students at the Ivy League university were facing “dire” exclusion on the US campus.
The pro-terror mob is marching through @Harvard screaming "long live the intifada" and "globalize the intifada."
To be clear, they may as well be screaming "kill the Jews."
If they were screaming for the slaughter of any other minority, you know this would never be tolerated. pic.twitter.com/saHqqTnQuo
It never worked before, but this time they’ll have the mighty TurkOttoman Turk army leading them!
[GEOTV] Ottoman Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday Islamic countries should form an alliance against what he called "the growing threat of expansionism" from Israel.
He made the comment after describing what Paleostinian and Ottoman Turkish officials said was the killing by Israeli troops of a Ottoman Turkish-American woman taking part in a protest on Friday against settlement expansion in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
"The only step that will stop Israeli arrogance, Israeli banditry, and Israeli state terrorism ... any action taken by a non-Moslem state that constrains the violent impulses of Moslems or their allies... is the alliance of Islamic countries," Erdogan said at an Islamic schools' association event near Istanbul.

[GEOTV] Security forces have killed two holy warriors during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Kalat district of 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... on the night between September 6-7 over the reported presence of terrorists, the military's media wing said on Saturday.
During the IBO, the troops "surrounded and effectively engaged the terrorists' location, and sent two holy warriors to hell", the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the killed terrorists, it stated, adding that the hard boyz were actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area against security forces as well as innocent civilians.
The troops launched a sanitisation operation in the area to neutralise any other terrorists, the ISPR said.
"Security forces of Pakistain, in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging peace, stability and progress of Balochistan," it concluded.
The nation has been reeling under rising violent mostly peaceful attacks since the Taliban ...Arabic for students... rulers returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021, particularly in the bordering provinces of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
Earlier this month, series of deadly terror attacks hit Balochistan in a single day, which claimed the lives of 50 people, including 14 security personnel. In response to these attacks, security operations were intensified across the region.

[IsraelTimes] Groups behind demonstrations estimate 500,000 at main protest, 250,000 at other rallies around country; police scuffle with activists blocking roads, arrest five
As always, figure the actual number is between half an order of magnitude less.
A crowd said to number in the hundreds of thousands erupted into the streets in Tel Aviv to rally for the release of hostages 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 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... Saturday night, amid ballooning protests demanding the government strike a ceasefire deal with the Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... terror group to secure the release of captives kidnapped exactly 11 months earlier.
With masses seething over the recent execution of six hostages who might have been freed in an exchange, and with the one-year anniversary of the October 7 massacre swiftly approaching, masses gathered in cities around the country to demonstrate against the government and press their case for a hostage deal.
Protest organizers estimated that 500,000 people attended the flagship rally in Tel Aviv, organized by the Hostage Families Forum — an estimate they claimed was confirmed by police. They said another 250,000 demonstrated in other areas around the country.
If true, the Tel Aviv rally would mark the largest-ever demonstration in Israel’s history.
It sounds like the Times of Israel doesn’t believe the claim either., but does not want to openly contradict them.
Police announced that they detained five protesters at the Tel Aviv rally, but did not comment on crowd size.
They would have confirmed if it were true.
Simultaneous protests were held in cities and at major intersections around the country, including Jerusalem, Haifa, Rishon Lezion, Beersheba, Netanya and elsewhere, with organizers claiming tens of thousands in some places.
If Donald Trump wins in November, payments to the cadres from the US Stated Department will stop. The window appears to be closing.
The protests, massive by any account, capped a week that saw major nightly demonstrations following the recovery of the bodies of six Israeli hostages from a tunnel in the southern Gazook city of Rafah.
Autopsies revealed that Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Ori Danino, 25, Alex Lobanov, 32, Carmel Gat, 40, and Almog Sarusi, 27, had been murdered just days earlier, sparking renewed denunciations against the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over its inability to agree to a deal freeing them and scores of other hostages who remain in Gaza, as well as the bodies of dozens of others.
As with previous protests, the demonstration in Tel Aviv was marked by scuffles with police and attempts by activists to block major roads, including the Ayalon freeway.
Antifa tactics.
Despite widespread criticism for not making more concessions in pursuit of a deal, Netanyahu has dug in on his position that Israel maintain an ongoing security presence on the Philadelphi Corridor, along the Gaza-Egypt border — reportedly a major sticking point in the ongoing negotiations with Hamas.
The large crowd size was partly the result of a decision by the Hostage Families Forum to merge its weekly Saturday night rally with anti-government protests held in parallel outside Defense Ministry headquarters for months. It was the first time the rallies formally joined together, as families fumed over what critics have said is government abandonment.
Combining forces suggest each alone is too small to impress…
"I think even those who were maybe reluctant to go out, who are not used to protest, who are sad but prefer to be in private space within their sadness, understood our voice must join together to one huge scream: Bring the hostages with a deal. Do not risk their lives," said one protester in Tel Aviv, Efrat Machikawa, niece of hostage Gadi Moses.
After the rallies merged, demonstrators marched on Begin Street, where they lit a bonfire that was repeatedly extinguished by police and then rekindled.
”See us destroy all you worked for.” That’s the anarcho part of anarcho-communist syndicalists.
Protesters also blocked the Ayalon Highway, a regular occurrence on the lam protests in Tel Aviv, as well as the junction of Namir and Pinkas streets.
Police said the fires and roadblocks were the work of a "small cadre of protesters" after most demonstrators dispersed, accusing them of fighting with cops.
Most protesters had left the scene by 11:30 p.m.
Among those arrested was a minor who crossed the street after police said to clear off of it. The minor’s friend began arguing with the officer, and was shoved aside by other officers. In another instance, police appeared to choke a detainee.
Officers who dragged detainees toward the nearby Azrieli Towers were frequently followed by angry protesters chanting: "Officer! Officer! Whom are you protecting?"
Police also stepped in to break up scuffles between demonstrators and a group of far-right youth holding a counter-protest. Many right-wing groups have lined up behind Netanyahu, arguing that Israel should press its offensive aimed at destroying the Hamas terror group rather than try to free the hostages via a ceasefire agreement.
Police in Haifa, where thousands demonstrated for a deal, were accused of using excessive force as they cleared activists blocking Frued Street, with video showing protesters being thrown into a barbed wire placed near the road.
At least two protesters reportedly sought medical attention due to injuries allegedly caused by police.
In Caesarea, anti-government protesters gathered near one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residences, calling for his ouster.
In Jerusalem, demonstrators gathered outside the prime minister’s residence in the capital, carrying yellow flags representing the movement for the release of the hostages.
Chanting "the regime’s lies won’t bring about security," protesters in Jerusalem called for an end to the war, the downfall of the government, and another general strike to build up economic pressure for a deal.
What they really want is the downfall if the government. The rest of the temper tantrum is about whatever will motivate the rubes at the moment.
[IsraelTimes] Arrests accompanied by apparent escalation in police violence at demonstrations; regional commander said to have ordered police to send ‘everyone to the cells’.
One of those arrested during the week, Michal Deutsch — who, according to Haaretz report from early July, holds the national record in arrests at anti-government protests — was held at the Neve Tirtza Women’s Prison until Friday after she would not agree to sign off on the police’s demand she stay away from illegal protests for two months.
Sounds like an Antifa cadre, or bucking to be one.

suspect that most of these demonstrators just hate Netanyahu and were looking for any opportunity to demonstrate
also, the Nova event, from which people were taken hostage, was basically a peace rally so hostage families are likely to be leftists to start out with

Stupidity should be a capital offense.
Used to be, it often was. The punishment varied from being murdered by savage Indians, eaten by bears, walking off a cliff, cutting your foot off with an axe, or starving in the winter. Nowadays, we have either removed most of the hazards or insulated people from their choices.
Are there ever protests against Hamas? I'm picturing 1000s of people waving signs saying "Release the hostages or I will strangle you personally". Root causes, and all that.

Look at all the volunteers to walk point clearing Hamas tunnels! Since they want peace so much, they can go in unarmed and just draw fire and find traps.
[IsraelTimes] Thursday airstrike targeted command post embedded in humanitarian zone; military says it also struck two former schools housing Hamas command sites in Gaza City
Two 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... battalion commanders were killed in a recent Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip, the IDF and Shin Bet announced Saturday.
Also on Saturday, the IDF said it had carried out airstrikes on command rooms operating from two former schools in Gaza City.
A Thursday strike on the battalion commanders targeted a command room embedded within the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah, according to the military.
Several terror operatives were killed in the strike, including Abdullah Khattab, the commander of PIJ’s South Deir al-Balah Battalion, and Hatem Abu al-Jidyan, the commander of PIJ’s East Deir al-Balah Battalion, the IDF and Shin Bet said.
The IDF said Khattab had overseen his battalion during the October 7 onslaught and was involved in numerous attacks on Israel and troops, including rocket fire and anti-tank fire.
Abu al-Jidyan also advanced numerous attacks against troops amid the ongoing fighting.
To mitigate harm to civilians in the strike, the IDF said it carried out "many steps," including using precision munitions, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.
"This is another example of the systematic use by the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip of the population and civilian infrastructure, including the humanitarian zone, to carry out terror acts against the state and IDF troops," the military added.
As for the Saturday strikes on the schools, according to the military, Hamas was using the Amr Ibn al-Aas School in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood to plan and carry out attacks against troops and Israel.
"Three deaders and more than 20 maimed people were retrieved after an Israeli warplane fired two missiles at a prayer room and a classroom at the Amr Ibn al-Aas School, where refugees were sheltering in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in northern Gaza City," Mahmud Bassal, front man for Gaza’s civil defense agency, told AFP.
In the other strike, the military said Hamas was using the Halima al-Sadia School in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood to plan and carry out attacks against troops and Israel.
At least 8 Paleostinians were killed, the Paleostinian Authority’s official news agency WAFA reported.
The IDF earlier said in a statement it had "conducted a precise strike on bully boyz who were operating inside a Hamas command and control center... embedded inside a compound that previously served as the ’Halima al-Sa’diyya’ School in the northern Gaza Strip." It said Hamas "systematically violates international law, brutally exploiting civilian institutions and the population as a human shield for terror activity."
Wafa said the dead were in refugee tents inside the former school.
The IDF also said it carried out "many steps" to mitigate casualties in those strikes.
In recent months, dozens of airstrikes have been carried out against Hamas sites embedded within schools and other sites used as shelters for civilians, according to the IDF.
In central Gaza’s urban refugee camp of Nuseirat, al-Awda Hospital said it received the bodies of nine people killed in two separate air raids. One hit a residential building, killing four people and wounding at least 10, while five people were killed in a strike on a house in western Nuseirat.
Separately, al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, central Gaza’s main hospital, said a woman and her two children were killed in a strike on a house in the nearby urban refugee camp of Bureij.
The military did not immediately comment on those incidents.
The IDF also released footage Saturday from a recent engagement with button men in the Tel Sultan neighborhood of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, when troops raided a building where a group of terror operatives were holed up. Amid the raid, the button men hurled a grenade at the troops, wounding at least one of the soldiers.
The IDF said the troops returned fire, killing the button men. On their bodies, the soldiers found weapons and documents, the military added.
In recent days, the IDF said troops have killed dozens of button men in Tel Sultan.
Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella opened her mouth at precisely the wrong moment... the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... , in collaboration with local health authorities, has pursued a campaign to vaccinate 640,000 children in Gaza after its first polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain... case in around 25 years. Limited pauses in the fighting have allowed the campaign to proceed.
UN officials said they were making progress, having reached over half of the children needing the drops in the first two stages in the southern and central Gaza Strip.
On Sunday, the campaign will move to the northern Gaza Strip. A second round of vaccination will be required four weeks after the first.
Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.
[IsraelTimes] Driver arrested after incident at Eli gas station; none hurt
A Palestinian vehicle collided with a police car in the West Bank Saturday in what the Israeli army said was a deliberate attack.
The collision happened at the Eli gas station, the scene of a number of previous terror attacks.
"A Paleostinian vehicle accelerated toward a police car and collided with it. There were no casualties," the Israel Defense Forces said.
The assailant "was caught by IDF troops" and arrested, it added.
The alleged attack follows several others in the West Bank in recent days.
The incidents came amid major ongoing counterterrorism operations by the Israel Defense Forces in several West Bank cities. The IDF operations were launched in the wake of an attempted suicide kaboom in Tel Aviv in August, also claimed by Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... Since October 7, troops have arrested some 5,000 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,000 affiliated with Hamas.
According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 670 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or faceless myrmidons carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 29 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another six members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
[Geo.tv] At least 13 Palestinians were killed and 15 wounded in Israeli strikes on a school sheltering refugees and a residential building in Gaza, the Palestinian Authority's official news agency WAFA reported early on Saturday.
At least eight of the dead were in refugee tents at Halima al-Sa'diyya School in Jabalia in northern Gaza, WAFA said.
In a separate incident, five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential building in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.

13 is an unlucky number - I hope some of the 15 wounded will die.
[IRNA] Some 22 people were martyred 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. 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... Strip over the past 24 hours in the brutal Israeli war in the enclave.
The Israeli regime conducted attacks on Al Burayj and the Nuseirat refugee camps over the past 24 hours, killing 22 Paleostinians, Al Jazeera reported.
The corpse count since October 7, 2023, also exceeded 40,930 on Saturday, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
The ministry also reported that nearly 94,616 people have been injured in the ongoing assault.
According to the Paleostinian Sama news agency, Israeli warplanes have bombed the Haleema Al Saadia Secondary Girls School in the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
Four people were martyred and 15 others maimed in the Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... on the UN-run school, which has been housing refugees since the onset of the Gaza war.
Hezbollah announced in a statement on Saturday that its fighters targeted the Jabal Neriya Golani base with Katyusha rockets in retaliation for the atrocities committed by the Israeli regime against residential buildings, especially the regime's recent aggression against the Froun village 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... .
According to the statement, the Jabal Neriya Golani base is currently the headquarters of the Golani Brigade of the regime's army.
On Friday, Hezbollah also announced in a statement that it had attacked the Ma'yan Baruch military base, the Zabadin barracks, as well as the buildings used by the Zionist military in the town of al-Mutala'a in the north of occupied Paleostine with drones and missiles.
Since the start of Operation al-Aqsa Storm by the Paleostinian resistance groups, Hezbollah has carried out daily and heavy strikes against the Zionist regime's positions in order to engage a large number of its forces in the north of occupied Paleostine and reduce the pressure on the resistance in Gazoo

The regime's Army Radio recently reported that in August, Hezbollah launched 1,307 rockets from southern Lebanon towards the occupied territories, which is the highest rate since the onset of the genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.
Al Mayadeen, the official TV channel of Hezbollah, said later today that the resistance group launched a rocket attack against the Zionist Hadab Yaron base at 8:15 local time.
The Zionist media have also confirmed that some missiles have been fired from southern Lebanon to Al Jalil.

[IsraelTimes] None hurt in repeated attacks throughout day, but home damaged and fire sparked; several drones intercepted in Upper Galilee; Lebanon claims 3 emergency workers killed in strike
Dozens of rockets were fired at northern Israel on Saturday, with some reaching areas near the city of Safed, as Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s took out Hezbollah launchers throughout 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... In a morning barrage, the Israel Defense Forces said around 30 projectiles were fired from Lebanon toward the Meron area. All of the rockets impacted open areas, the military said.
Later on Saturday, a barrage of rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Western Galilee. Some of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses, according to the IDF.
Others struck the community of Shlomi, causing damage to a home, and some struck open areas near Liman, sparking a fire.
Another barrage of five rockets was later fired from Lebanon at the Safed area, striking open areas, the military said.
There were no casualties in Saturday’s attacks.
In the evening, the IDF said it struck a Hezbollah rocket launcher in southern Lebanon’s Aynata used in the attack on Safed.
In addition, infrastructure and a launcher were targeted in southern Lebanon’s Qabrikha that were used to fire rockets at Israel on Saturday.
Separately, several drones were launched from Lebanon Saturday evening at the Upper Galilee. The IDF said they impacted in northern Israel, causing no injuries.
Earlier in the day, the Lebanon-based Hezbollah terror group took responsibility for a string of attacks on Israeli troops and positions near the border, including with Katyusha rockets, some in stated response to "Israeli enemy attacks" on south Lebanon.
The army also said strikes were carried out overnight on a Hezbollah rocket launcher, publishing footage of the strikes.
Lebanon’s health ministry said three emergency personnel putting out fires in south Lebanon were killed and two others maimed in an Israeli strike Saturday.
"Israeli enemy targeting of a Lebanese civil defense team that was putting out fires sparked by the recent Israeli strikes in the village of Froun led to the martyrdom of three emergency responders," the Lebanese health ministry said in a statement.
Two others were maimed, one of them critically, the statement said, adding, however, that the toll was provisional.
There were no immediate comments from the IDF on the strike.
The health ministry "condemns this blatant Israeli attack that targeted a team from an official body of the Lebanese state," the Lebanese statement said.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati blasted Saturday’s attack, saying "this new aggression against Lebanon is a blatant violation of international laws... and human values."
Hezbollah issued a statement saying it launched a "squadron of missiles" in response to the Faroun attack, targeting an Israeli military headquarters.
The terror group operates freely in Lebanon, unhindered by the nation’s military.
Hezbollah ally the Amal movement said two of its members were among the dead. It said they were killed "while carrying out their humanitarian and national duty defending Lebanon and the south."
Lebanon’s foreign minister claimed in comments to Al Jazeera Saturday that Israel had relayed a message to Beirut that it does not want a ceasefire, regardless of whether it reaches a hostage-truce deal with Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... in Gazoo

Lebanon's Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi condemned the Israeli attack, saying that such crimes are rejected under humanitarian law.
The Israeli regime has killed dozens of Lebanese civilians since fighting began with Hezbollah resistance movement at Lebanon's southern border on October 8.
The fighting began a day after Israel unleashed its devastating war on Gazoo
