Africa North
Italy says migrants hijacked rescue tanker off Libya, EU ends naval ops
[IsraelTimes] A tanker that picked up migrants colonists off Libya has changed course for Europe, Italia’s far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini says, accusing those rescued of having hijacked the vessel.

The Palau-flagged tanker Elhiblu I picked up the migrants colonists last night in waters where Libyan coastguards are responsible and then headed back to Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
But six nautical miles from port the ship suddenly changed course heading north, and is now halfway between Tripoli and Malta, according to Salvini.

"They’re not shipwrecked, they’re pirates!" Salvini tweets, promising that they would not be allowed to disembark in Italia.
That seems knd of pointless.
The Libyan authorities and the ship’s operator in Tripoli were not immediately available for comment.

EU Suspends Naval Missions in Libya Migrant Rescue Operation

[AnNahar] The EU on Wednesday suspended ship patrols that have rescued tens of thousands of migrants since 2015 in the Mediterranean and brought them to Italy, after deep resistance by populist-led Rome.

European Union diplomats agreed that the operation would be officially extended six months beyond its March 31 expiry date, but no longer deploy ships and instead rely on air missions and coordination with Libya.

"Member States have decided to extend the mandate of Operation Sophia for six months with a temporary suspension of its naval assets while Member States continue working on a solution related to disembarkation," an EU official said in a statement.

Boko Haram attacks in eastern Niger leave 10 dead: Mayor
[AlAhram] Ten people were killed along with two jacket wallahs in a coordinated attack late Tuesday by 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...
jihadists on a town in eastern Niger, the local mayor said.

"Two exploding trollop female suicide bombers blew themselves up and button men then attacked civilians," the mayor of the town of N'Guigmi, Abba Kaya Issa, told AFP on Wednesday.

"We have a provisional toll of 10 dead plus the two suicide bombers," along with "seven or eight" maimed, he said, blaming "Boko Haram elements" for the assault.

"One of the suicide bombers blew herself up in the courtyard of a policeman's home, which is located inside the police barracks, and the second triggered her explosives belt between the town hall, the police barracks and the prefecture," he said, referring to the office of the state representative.

A local resident said several houses had been burned and maimed children in the police camp had been taken to the local hospital.

Another inhabitant said "armed Boko Haram" attacked the district of Dileram, "killing civilians and torching homes".

N'Guigmi lies in the north of the Diffa region, near Lake Chad, which has borne the brunt of cross-border infiltration by the Nigerian-based jihadists.

Eight people were killed last Thursday in the village of Karidi and 14 died in four attacks on Saturday. Fourteen soldiers have been killed since February 16.

The army says it killed "more than 200 terrorists" in the region at the end of last year, as well as 33 others on March 12.

‘Innocent Paramedic' Caught On Film Attacking IDF Soldiers During Riot - Watch
[Jpost] A Paleostinian paramedic was one of the rioters throwing rocks and molotov cocktails in a riot near Bethlehem on Wednesday, according to a video released by Avichay Adraee, the head of the Arab media division of the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.

The video shows the paramedic taking off his paramedic vest and then throwing rocks at IDF soldiers.

A Paleostinian paramedic was reportedly killed earlier Wednesday by IDF forces in a riot near Bethlehem.
It’s not clear to me if this is the paramedic Israel is accused of killing in Wednesday’s riot, or just to make it clear that Palestinian paramedics are no less inclined to violence and therefore no more innocent bystanders than non-paramedics.

Fresh clashes reported along Gaza border Wednesday evening after day of relative calm
Hamas’s Confusion Units came out to play again.
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian protesters are clashing with Israeli security forces along the border of the southern Gazoo Strip, according to reports in Israeli and Paleostinian media.

Reports says the so-called "night confusion units" are launching incendiary balloons towards Israel and hurling bombs at Israeli troops.

Residents of nearby Israeli communities report hearing sounds of kabooms.

The festivities come after a day of relative calm in and around Gazoo, as Egyptian mediators are meeting with top Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, officials in a bid to negotiate a ceasefire deal with Israel.

3 Gazans reported injured by IDF fire at border protests

[IsraelTimes] Three Paleostinians are injured by IDF fire during festivities with Israeli security forces adjacent to the Jabalia Refugee Camp in the northern Gazoo Strip, according to Paleostinian media reports.

Hamas cancels school on Saturday so Gaza kids can join border protests

[IsraelTimes] The Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,-run education ministry in the Gazoo Strip cancels school on Saturday to allow school children to participate in the mass border protests that are expected over the weekend.

The announcement comes as Egyptian mediators are meeting with senior Hamas officials in a last-ditch effort to reach a ceasefire deal with Israel before Saturday, when thousands of Paleostinians are expected to mark the one-year anniversary of the weekly border rallies.
If I were a mediator, I would be incandescent at Hamas disrespect by now.

A Night On The Gaza Border, Waiting For Another War
[JPOST] The concern is always there that the next round will come.
Get it over with, fergawdsake! Yer gonna have to do it eventually.

More immediately, Israel and Hamas prepare to square off on anniversary of ‘March of Return’

[IsraelTimes] Haniyeh called on "our Paleostinian people in Gazoo, the occupied West Bank, and abroad to participate in Land Day (March 30) and take part in the million-man march."

Paleostinian Land Day marks a 1976 decision by the Israeli government to seize thousands of dunams of Arab-owned land in the Galilee region of northern Israel.

Last year on Land Day, Paleostinians in the Gazoo Strip launched the "Great March of Return," a series of weekly protests and riots along the security fence. Israel maintains that Hamas appropriated the campaign for nefarious purposes, using the civilian protesters as cover for violent military activities.

The Israeli military is concerned that the one-year anniversary of the first March of Return on Saturday will bring tens of thousands of rioters to the Gazoo border threatening to breach the security fence and enter Israeli territory en masse.

ISIS resurfaces in Syria’s Idlib province amid defeat in eastern Euphrates region
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) has been wreaking havoc on the rebel-held areas of the Idlib Governorate recently, targeting several sites belonging to their jihadist rivals from Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham

Using their vast network of sleeper cells, the Islamic State has repeatedly carried out attacks against Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham fighters inside and outside of Idlib city.

As a result of these Islamic State attacks, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham has once again restarted their security operations in order to eliminate these sleeper cells from the Idlib Governorate.

However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
this task is proving to be incredibly difficult for Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, despite some success in identifying and destroying these cells.

Just last week, the Islamic State managed to conduct two terrorist attacks inside Idlib city; this prompted Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham to raise their alert levels around the bustling provincial capital and begin search-and-destroy operations across the area.

While it is unlikely that the Islamic State can capture and hold any significant portion of the Idlib Governorate at this time, they could later carve out a mini pocket in the coming months as they take advantage of the ongoing hostilities between the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and rebel forces near the demilitarized zone.

(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) has kidnapped several Syrian Arab Army (SAA) soldiers in eastern this week, a source in Damascus told al-Masdar on Wednesday.

According to the source, more than ten Syrian Arab Army soldiers were kidnapped this week while traveling along the Palmyra-Deir Ezzor Highway.

The soldiers were reportedly ambushed by the terrorist group and taken to an unknown destination in the vast desert region of eastern Homs.

At the same time, another three Syrian Arab Army soldiers were killed this week after their vehicle struck a landmine at the town of al-Ghabra in eastern Deir Ezzor.

The landmine that killed the Syrian Arab Army soldiers was planted by the Islamic State fighters that were fleeing the town last year.

Syrian military says Israel is behind attack on Aleppo, several more sites targeted
[MOBILE.ALMASDARNEWS] At approximately 11:00 P.M. (local time) this evening, several Arclight airstrikes targeted the Syrian military’s positions at the outskirts of Aleppo city.

According to the Syrian military, the aerial division of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was behind this evening’s airstrikes that saw many sites targeted in Aleppo.

Following an attack on the Sheikh Najjar District in eastern Aleppo, the Israeli Air Force began targeting sites around the Nayrab Airbase and Aleppo International Airport.

The Syrian military said they managed to down several of the hostile missiles; however, they did say a number of other projectiles did reach their intended targets at Sheikh Najjar, Nayrab, and the Aleppo Airport area.

If Israel is indeed behind this attack, this would be the second time in the last year that they have launched airstrikes on the Aleppo Governorate.

Last year’s attack by the Israeli Air Force caught the Syrian military by surprise, as the former’s F-35 jets went undetected from the Lebanese border to the Aleppo Governorate.
The Jerusalem Post adds:
Ten people died and the city of Aleppo in Syria is in chaos due to the Israeli strike, the Syrian Human Rights Center reported on Thursday, Maariv reported.

Early reports suggest that ammunition warehouse were struck, it is unclear at this point if Syrian air defenses were engaged or not.

Separate reports said kabooms rocked areas near Aleppo, including an air base and possible storage warehouse linked to Iran.

Explosions were reported in Sheikh Najjar industrial area, at Nayrab air base and in Aleppo.

Electrical outage was also reported and drone activity over Leb at the same time.

It appears that the Arclight airstrikes continued for almost forty minutes as new kabooms were reported just before midnight.

This included an alleged fourth kaboom near Nayrab air base.

Previous reports on social media indicate the presence of Iranian forces at Sheikh Najjar and Nayrab airbase, two of the sites where kabooms were reported Tuesday night.
