-War on Police-
California man accused of throwing Molotov cocktail at police
[FOXNEWS] A Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, man was arrested Wednesday night after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at police.

According to the Corning Police Department, this wasn't the first time Russ tossed a Molotov cocktail toward cops. Russ had an active arrest warrant for a previous incident in late July when he threw a Molotov cocktail near where the police department stages marked patrol cars.

Russ was booked into the Tehama County Jail on several charges
At approximately 5:40 p.m. on Wednesday, officers with the Corning Police Department began investigating a loud banging noise that was coming from outside the police department on the 700 block of Fourth Street.

The suspect, later identified as 32-year-old Cassidy Russ, began "fumbling with an item near the front of his waistband," the police department said in a blurb. As the officers gave the suspect verbal commands, Russ lit a Molotov cocktail and threw it toward police. The Molotov cocktail missed the officer and went kaboom! near a parked vehicle.
Officers used baton strikes and pain compliance techniques to subdue Russ, who continued to resist arrest, police said. Officers eventually took Russ into custody by placing him in handcuffs under sustained resistance.

A Molotov cocktail is a homemade bomb made from a bottle filled with gasoline and stuffed with a piece of cloth that is lit just before the bottle is thrown.

Police say that Russ was observed by an officer walking away from the police department following the deployment of the bomb and onto Solano Street.

Authorities say officers pursued Russ after observing him near the department. An off duty officer tackled Russ on the 1300 block of Solano Street, but Russ continued to resist arrest by concealing his hands by his waistband and backpack.

Officers used baton strikes and pain compliance techniques to subdue Russ, who continued to resist arrest, police said. Officers eventually took Russ into custody by placing him in handcuffs under sustained resistance.

According to the Corning Police Department, this wasn't the first time Russ tossed a Molotov cocktail toward cops. Russ had an active arrest warrant for a previous incident in late July when he threw a Molotov cocktail near where the police department stages marked patrol cars.

Russ was booked into the Tehama County Jail
...Tehama County is in the northern end of the Sacramento Valley — in the northern part of California...
on several charges, including attempted murder, possession of an bomb, arson, battery on a peace officer and resisting arrest. He is being held without bail at the Tehama County Jail and is set to appear in court next week on Dec. 6.

Afghanistan
Daily Evacuation Brief December 4, 2022
[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
  • EXPLOSION IN JALALABAD – A blast was reported in Jalalabad’s fourth district on Saturday, near the Sikh Temple (Darmsal). 6 non-combatants were reportedly injured. The circumstances around the explosion are not currently known and no further information was available.

  • SUSPECT IN PAKISTAN EMBASSY ATTACK REPORTEDLY DETAINED – Sources in Pakistan have confirmed that a man who is thought to have participated in the attacks on the Pakistan Charge d’Affaires and its diplomatic facilities was arrested by Taliban authorities. The Taliban used a phone number to track the man’s location and raided a building adjacent to the Embassy. Upon entry, they discovered the man attempting to escape and quickly arrested him. The room was on the 8th floor of the building and was wired with three separate explosives and contained multiple weapons. In an unconfirmed report, Taliban Police are said to have arrested another co-conspirator but no details were provided. In both situations, the electronic devices of both men were said to be recovered intact and may lead to further arrests.

  • FORMER PRESIDENT KARZAI TRAVELS TO THE UAE AND GERMANY – This is Karzai’s first international trip since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan. There was some controversy over earlier trips that had reportedly been planned by the former President. In those instances, the Taliban reputedly denied his request to travel for unspecified reasons. Karzai is traveling to seek medical treatment in Germany and his purpose for visiting the UAE is not known.

  • BERGDAHL EXCHANGE SITE TO BE MADE INTO A MONUMENT – The Taliban held a ceremony and the Interior Minister, Sirajuddin Haqqani, laid the first stone of a proposed monument to freedom that is expected to be built on the site. The 5 prisoners the Obama administration exchanged for US Army Sergeant Bergdahl
    ...that’s Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who deliberately left his base to meet up with the Taliban in 2009, for which he was charged with desertion and some other things before President Obama decided to trade him for some high value Talibs who were taking up space in Guantanamo. After five years as a Taliban prisoner he was traded for Mohammad Fazl, Khairullah Khairkhwa, Abdul Haq Wasiq, Norullah Noori, and Mohammad Nabi Omari...
    are all currently serving in high positions in the nascent regime.
    How proud former president Obama must feel. If any of our ghosts in the night happen to be in the area, perhaps they could pay them a visit.
  • CIVIL SOCIETY ACTIVISTS MAKE THEIR CASE FOR THE TALIBAN AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY – Conferences were held in Herat and Nimroz with hundreds of civil society activists and leaders in attendance. At least half of the attendees at both gatherings were women. The activists used the events to voice their concerns about several issues facing the civil population. The chief complaint focused on the Taliban’s stance with regard to women. The Taliban’s response to the events was muted and neutral. A series of similarly-themed nationwide gatherings have been planned.


NEXT 24 HOURS
  • SECURITY OPERATIONS IN KABUL TO CONTINUE – Interrogations of the two men the Taliban have taken into custody are expected to reveal others who may have been involved in the plot. As a result, additional clearing operations are expected to take place in and around Kabul.

  • WINTER SLOWS DOWN RESISTANCE ACTIVITIES – Sources close to the NRF and two other Resistance groups claim they will limit operations as winter descends on the country. While some operations are expected to continue, they will likely focus on limited objectives and serve as a means of harassing Taliban forces. The majority of these operations are expected to take place in mainly urban areas. A source in the Ministry of Defense has suggested the Taliban security forces in the North have focused on improving defensive positions around their garrisons in the North and do not anticipate launching major offensive operations over the course of the colder months. Poor weather will limit the ability to use air assets to support attacks and/or respond to Resistance incursions. Terrorism activity is expected to continue throughout the Winter months and is expected to focus on high-priority targets located in urban areas and power distribution networks.

  • CENTRAL BANK AUCTION – Da Afghanistan Bank has nearly doubled the frequency with which it is auctioning US dollars. On Sunday, it will auction approximately $15 million dollars.

Somali forces advance on main Al-Shabaab bastion
[ShabelleMedia] Somali government forces along with local militias move closer to Aden Yabal which is the main base of the al-Shabaab

in the Middle Shabelle region.

The advance came after the allied forces captured key villages in the region for the past few weeks, in the latest blow to al-Shabaab in the ongoing fight.

Somali president Hassan Sheikh paid a visit to the troops on the frontlines in central regions to boost their morale in the struggle to win the decisive war.

There have been operations in parts of the Middle Shabelle, Hiraan, and Galgaduud regions to remove al-Shabaab from areas they have controlled for some time.

Since the war started three months ago, Somali PM Hamza Abdi Barre said over 600 turbans were killed and as many as 68 areas were liberated from al-Shabaab.

Somali troops retake fresh areas from Al-Shabaab – spokesman

[ShabelleMedia] The Somali government forces and the local people in cooperation have taken over several areas in the Middle Shabelle region from al-Shabaab

on Saturday.

Gulane, Harka Dheere, and Daru Salaam fell into the hands of the Somali government and will join dozens of areas that were retaken by the allied troops in the past three months.

The front man of the Ministry of Defense, General Abdullahi Ali Anod, who spoke to the media said that the army is now advancing to the last district of the Middle Shabelle region that remains in the hands of al-Shabaab, which is Adan Yabal.

The forces of the Somali government and the locals are conducting operations against al-Shabaab in the Middle Shabelle region, one of their strongest areas.

Al-Shabaab retakes strategic towns in southern Somalia

gunnies have made significant gains in central Somalia following a spirited battle with the Somali National Army [SNA] and allies, in yet another dramatic development that could erode gains made so far by the security forces.

According to multiple sources, the gunnies regained Deynunay village within the troubled Bay region of Somalia following hours of fighting with the government troops. The gunnies have been carrying out retaliatory attacks across the country following a sustained crackdown against them.

During the battle which lasted for several hours, the gunnies reportedly used heavy weapons, which could raise concerns about the illegal smuggling of weapons to the country. The al-Shabaab is believed to be importing weapons from war-torn Yemen

, which has been unstable for over a decade.

Also, the Somali National Army withdrew from the Gofgadud Buurey district, about 30 kilometers from Baidoa town, and gunnies immediately entered the area. It is not clear why the government troops withdrew even after President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud pledged to reorganize towns that have been liberated.

Security officials did not comment on the loss of Deynunay village, about 25 km from Baidoa, the interim capital of the South West regional state. The withdrawal, analysts say, is a huge blow to locals who have been helping the government effectively tackle the holy warriors.

But despite the latest setbacks, the Somali National Army has managed to kill over 500 gunnies in the last three months according to Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre. The PM said that operations against al-Shabaab will continue until all strategic towns are seized.

Throughout this year, the gunnies have managed to kill over 613 people and injure over 900 others, with most casualties being innocent civilians. The group has been targeting hotels with the latest raid being Villa Rays Hotel in Mogadishu, which left over 15 people dead.

Arabia
US seized ammunition en route to Yemen from Iran: Navy
[Rudaw] The US Navy said Saturday that it had seized over 50 tons of ammunition, rocket fuses, and propellants on a fishing vessel en route from Iran
...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979...
to Yemen
...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...
The incident took place in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday "during a flag verification boarding, according to a statement by the US 5th Fleet, based in Bahrain, adding that it was the fleet’s "second major illegal weapons seizure within a month."

"This significant interdiction clearly shows that Iran’s unlawful transfer of lethal aid and destabilizing behavior continues," Vice Admiral Brad Cooper said, affirming Washington’s commitment to "deterring and disrupting dangerous and irresponsible maritime activity in the region."

Over one million rounds of ammunition were confiscated during the search, with the fishing trawler being seized along a route infamously used to smuggle weapons to the 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. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebels in Yemen.

Iran has not issued any comments about the incident.

The vessel was carrying nearly 7,000 proximity fuses for rockets and more than 2,100 kilograms of propellant, which is used in the launching of rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs).

"The direct or indirect supply, sale or transfer of weapons to the Houthis in Yemen violates U.N. Security Council Resolution 2216 and international law," the US Navy statement continued.

The resolution imposed "sanctions on individuals undermining the stability of Yemen ... particularly the Houthis" and called on them to "immediately and unconditionally end violence and refrain from further unilateral actions that threatened the political transition."

In January, the US Navy seized a "stateless" vessel transiting from Iran in the Gulf of Oman carrying kabooms. The ship was also stopped along the same route used to smuggle weapons to the Houthis in Yemen.

India-Pakistan
3 police officers gunned down by ‘terrorists’ in targeted attack in Nowshera
[Dawn] Three coppers were shot full of holes by forces of Evil in Nowshera district’s Akora Khattak on Saturday, according to police and rescue officials.

"Three coppers died in the attack," Nowshera police front man Durrani told Dawn.com, saying that the assailants targeted a police van.

He said that a police party reached the scene of the crime soon after the attack, cordoned off the area and initiated a search operation.

Durrani said the search operation was ongoing while the police were also gathering details of the incident and assailants.

The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa police identified the officers as Head Constable Manzoor, Constable Amanullah and Constable Ayaz.

A Rescue 1122 statement said medical teams moved the bodies to District Headquarters Hospital Nowshera.

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan took notice of the incident and summoned an incident report from the police chief.

"The incident is very tragic and the sacrifice of the deaders will not go in vain," the chief minister said. He also prayed for the dear departed and extended his condolences to their families.

The incident comes after a suicide kaboom targeting a police truck in Balochistan

Terrorist commander killed in intense exchange of fire in North Waziristan: ISPR
[Dawn] A terrorist commander named Muhammad Noor was killed during an intense exchange of fire with troops in the Shewa area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s North Wazoo district, the army’s media wing said on Saturday.

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the slain terrorist, whose alias was Sarakai.

The statement added that the terrorist was involved in high-profile terrorist activities against security forces, as well as kidnapping for ransom. He was also wanted by the Counter Terrorism Department in multiple cases.

"Locals of the area appreciated the operations and expressed their full support to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the area," the ISPR concluded.

Last month, four alleged bad boyz were potted, and two security personnel embraced martyrdom during an intelligence-based operation in Kamal Pass area of Shahrig town of Harnai district.

According to the ISPR, members of security forces launched an intelligence-based operation in Kaman Pass area near Shahrig area of Balo­chistan to clear a hideout of terrorists.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IDF strikes Hamas rocket factory in Gaza in response to rocket fire
I used to get really upset about this kind of thing, but I came to realize it’s just like mowing the lawn on another day that ends in Y. Both the Jerusalem Post andthe Times of Israel have photos and videos at their links.
[JPost] The IDF struck targets in the Gaza Strip on Saturday night after a rocket was fired from the Strip into southern Israel earlier in the night, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

A rocket was fired into Israeli territory north of the Gaza Strip on Saturday night, but no interceptors were fired from the Israeli side. The rocket reportedly fell in an open area.

The strikes targeted a workshop for producing weapons belonging to Hamas. The workshop serves as a central production site for much of the rockets belonging to the terrorist organization. A terrorist tunnel belonging to Hamas in the southern Gaza Strip was hit as well.

During the strikes, a second rocket alert was activated in open areas near the town of Bnei Netzarim near the border with Gaza. The Hamas-affiliated Shabab news network reported that two rockets were fired by Palestinian factions towards southern Israel in response to the strikes. After the second round of rocket fire, the IDF targeted a military position belonging to Hamas.

The Palestinian Donia Al-Watan news site reported that Egyptian intelligence is in intensive communications with the Palestinian factions warning them not to escalate the situation.

Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades announced that it had fired surface-to-air missiles at Israeli aircraft during the strikes.

Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem responded to the exchange of fire early Sunday morning, stating "The resistance's response to the Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip, and its direct response to the Zionist bombing, confirms that it will not allow the occupation to change the equations and will continue to defend its people in all its places of presence."

"The Zionist enemy expands its aggression against our people by brutally bombing the Gaza Strip, after its crime yesterday of executing the martyr Ammar Mufleh in Hawara," added Qassem. "This Nazi terrorism and behavior will not stop our people's blazing revolution, and we will continue to support our people's uprising in all places of their presence."
The Times of Israel adds:
The Israel Defense Forces said in a short statement just after 1 a.m. Sunday that it was attacking Gaza in retaliation for a Saturday evening missile strike, the first such attack in a month.

The small farming communities of Shlomit and Bnei Betzarim, which sit near the Egyptian border and opposite Gaza’s Rafah.

On social media, Gazooks reported hearing several rounds of air strikes near Khan Younis and Rafah in the south of the Strip.

Unconfirmed video footage appeared to show several large explosions.
