[CNN] French authorities resumed clearing the infamous "Jungle" migrant camp in Calais Tuesday in the wake of violent festivities at the site, with the country's interior minister vowing "radical" pro-migrant activists would not block the operation.
Four people, three of them pro-migrant activists, were placed in durance vile Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! Monday and 11 coppers suffered minor injuries when police began dismantling structures in the "Jungle," the sprawling camp near the northwestern port of Calais, authorities said.
Calais authorities plan to demolish the southern half of the camp and relocate the inhabitants in response to unsanitary conditions at the site, but met stiff resistance from some migrants colonists and supporters from pro-migrant activist group No Borders Monday.
Tents were set on fire and projectiles were thrown at police at the site, resulting in arrests and injuries and prompting authorities to use tear gas, Steve Barbet, front man for the Calais prefect, told CNN. Later in the evening, protesters and migrants colonists blocked the city's perimeter highway, throwing projectiles at trucks to slow them down, he said.
Calais, the closest French city to the UK, is a major port where ferries cross the English Channel and is situated close to an undersea tunnel connecting the two countries. The "Jungle" is a major transit point for thousands of migrants colonists hoping to enter the UK illegally.

Once infected with rats the job is ten times more difficult. The best way to stop an infestation is create a barrier to them entering your home. France screwed to pooch by allowing vermin into their homes. They will now be battling this vermin for decades.

Islam has this built into its values. Islam is flailing around and splashing its own blood up the wall. It has totally failed as a creative force in world arenas all across the board.
I think it would be safe to say that Islam has nothing to offer and that the entire religion is in a state of massive social decay.
Islam is dying.

I wouldn't necessarily say its dying as just another century spat of house cleaning that's been going on for over a millennium. Sort of like the annual bout of flu. Islamics have been butchering Islamics for centuries. Like another ethnic community, it's always been easier to blame the outsider for the problems created by the community itself. The body count on who actually kills who remains a in-house championship. Self destructive impulse is in the culture. Literally. We suffer from the spill over.

[ARA News] DARAA – Cashes erupted on Tuesday between Jordanian security forces and gunmen near the Syrian border.
The clashes, which took place in Jordan’s northern city of Irbid near the border with Syria, broke out after the security forces launched raids in the city in search of outlawed militants.
Several gunmen were killed, while at least three security forces were injured in Tuesday’s clashes, according to the Jordanian security.
Local media sources reported that the security raids targeted positions for religious extremists in Irbid city.
It was not immediately clear whether the militants had links to the Syrian conflict.
State television quoted Jordanian officials as saying the security operation involving raids by hundreds of security forces was continuing in the northern city of Irbid.
[WASHINGTONPOST] A shootout broke out in a Paleostinian neighborhood late Monday after Israeli forces tried to rescue two soldiers who had mistakenly entered the area because of an error on a satellite navigation app, Israeli authorities said Tuesday.
The festivities in the Qalandiya refugee camp outside Jerusalem left at least one Paleostinian dead and 10 injured, one seriously. At least 10 Israeli soldiers also were maimed during the hour-long operation.
According to initial Israeli reports, the two soldiers said they had been using Waze, a highly touted, Israeli-invented navigation app bought more than two years ago by Google. The smartphone app, which has a settings option to "avoid dangerous areas," relies on crowdsourcing to give users the fastest traffic routes.
[IsraelTimes] Lacking any Israeli or Paleostinian law enforcement, Qalandiya has become a hotbed of terrorist and criminal activity, and it doesn’t look set to change anytime soon.
[IsraelTimes] Waze, the Israeli-developed navigation app acquired by Google for more than $1 billion in 2013, says the soldiers themselves were at fault.
"(Waze) includes a specific default setting that prevents routes through areas which are marked as dangerous or prohibited for Israelis to drive through," the company says in a statement to AFP.
"In this case, the setting was disabled. In addition, the driver deviated from the suggested route and as a result, entered the prohibited area. There are also red signs on the road in question that prohibit access to Paleostinian-controlled territories (for Israelis). It is the responsibility of every driver to adhere to road and traffic signs and obey local laws.
"Waze has and is continuing to work directly with the relevant authorities to decrease such mishaps from occurring, but unfortunately there is no ability to prevent them altogether as ultimately some prudence is in the driver’s hands," the statement says.

[ARA News] QAMISHLI – Radical group of the Islamic State (ISIS) executed on Tuesday eight of its own militants on charges of “high treason”, local sources in Syria’s northeastern Raqqa province reported.
Eight Dutch nationals, who had joined the ranks of ISIS last year, were publicly executed at the hands of fellow ISIS jihadis in central Raqqa.
“The militants were arrested at a checkpoint on Friday while trying to escape Raqqa. After interrogations, they were convicted of high treason for attempting dissidence,” media activist Sarwat Abdullah told ARA News in Raqqa.
The ISIS-led Sharia Court has ordered the execution of the eight foreign militants in public.
“The eight jihadis, who were identified as Dutch nationals, were shot dead in front of hundreds of people on Tuesday evening,” the source reported. “Senior ISIS commanders were among the crowd to witness the execution.”
HIGH TREASON
This comes just three days after a Belgian member of ISIS was executed by the radical group after being convicted of ‘high treason’ for attempting dissidence and trying to escape the group’s territory without permission.
An activist from the campaign “Deir ez-Zor Is Being Slaughtered Silently”, which documents daily incidents in the ISIS-held eastern Syrian province, told ARA News that the man was arrested last week while trying to escape Deir ez-Zor. “After interrogations, ISIS accused the Belgian man of attempting dissidence and convicted him of high treason,” the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“The group beheaded him on Friday after a Sharia official read a statement to the public, explaining the background of his case and how he tried to escape his duty of fighting the enemies of the Caliphate,” the local activist told ARA News.
Earlier on Thursday, Tunisian man and his Chechen wife, who had joined the ISIS ranks in Syria last year, were captured on the Turkish border while trying to desert the group and flee Syria. “They were detained while trying to cross into Turkey in a bid to desert the group,” media activist Nassir Taljbini told ARA News in Jarablus.
“The Tunisian jihadi has reportedly married the Chechen woman a few months ago after they met in Raqqa. They were transferred to Jarablus last month in order to serve as guards for an ISIS Emir (prince). There have been suspicions about their movements, but they were eventually arrested before leaving Syria,” the informed source told ARA News.
The jihadi couple has been referred to the Sharia Court for interrogations subsequent to their arrest on Thursday midnight. The ISIS-led Sharia Court usually orders the beheading of any dissidents on charges of ‘high treason’.
Dozens of other ISIS members have been arrested and executed on similar charges in the ISIS-held territories in Syria and Iraq over the last two years.

[ARA News] KOBANE – Kurdish forces of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) announced on Tuesday the death of more than ten militants from the Islamic State (ISIS) in Aleppo province, northern Syria.
Snipers from the YPG, supported by fellow fighters from the Kurdish Women’s Protection Units (YPG), took position at the top of a hill in the eastern suburb of Jarablus city in northern Aleppo.
“Sniping operations in the ISIS-held Jarablus city continued until Tuesday midnight. At least 13 ISIS jihadis were killed today at the hands of our snipers,” YPG officer Nuraddin Gaban told ARA News over the phone.
The Kurdish officer pointed out that the operation was focused on the Tahtani district of Jarablus, “where an ISIS command center is located”.
The Kurdish fighters, backed by allied Syrian rebels, have recently captured several hills in the vicinity of Jarablus subsequent to clashes with ISIS.
Jarablus city is deemed a main bastion for ISIS militants in northern Syria. It has served as a transit point for ISIS foreign jihadis over more than two years for its strategic location on the Turkish border.

If you believe al-Nusra's Top Dawg, currently sunning himself in Turkey, that's only about two percent of al-Nusra's total strength in Syria.
[ARA News] ALEPPO – Leadership of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced the death of 216 militant fighters from al-Nusra Front, al-Qaeda wing in Syria, after two weeks of clashes in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
Kurdish-Arab alliance of the SDF had launched earlier last month an extended military operation aimed at retaking the northern countryside of Aleppo from militants of al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Over the past two weeks, clashes continued between the SDF units and al-Qaeda affiliated Nusra militants in the vicinity of Azaz city north of Aleppo.
“The recent clashes centered in the villages of Malikiya, Kashtaar and Tannab in the suburb of Azaz near the Turkish border,” a spokesman for the SDF told ARA News.
“After expelling the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front from these villages, our forces collected dead bodies of 216 militants and detained over 20 others,” the official said.
The SDF has also seized a large deal of ammunition and heavy weapons after taking over a weapons storage center near Azaz.
Supported by an air cover from the U.S.-led coalition, the Kurdish-Arab alliance regained control of large territories in northern Aleppo, including the villages of Shwargha, Maranaz, Mennagh, Kafr Nasih, Kafr Naya, and the towns of Ain Daqna, Tal Rafaat and Deir Jamal.
