Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... has entered the second month without any solid achievement, that is the entry to Tripoli, which was scheduled by Haftar in the span of 48 hours.
Clashes between Haftar's forces and the Libyan Army forces under the Presidential Council's government command are still ongoing with the latter taking an offensive stance contrary to the defensive one taken in the first weeks of the attack.
On Sunday, fighting intensified in Tuwaysha, Qasir Benghashir and Zatarna areas, with sources reporting that the Volcano of Rage Operation forces advanced in Qasir Benghashir frontline and would soon be in control of Afiya Hospital and Funduk al-Sharif areas, which are currently under Haftar's forces control.
"Our forces destroyed several military vehicles for Haftar's forces and advanced on Tripoli International Airport frontline ringing in the remaining fighters in south of the airport." Sources from the operation said.
Clashes in al-Zatarna, southern Tajoura, were an exchange of artillery without a remarkable advance from any side.
Air Force of the Libyan Army forces under the Presidential Council's government command carried out 9 Arclight airstrikes on Haftar's forces positions in Gharyan, al-Watiya airbase, Beer al-Alem, and Wadi Rabea, on the other hand, Haftar's warplanes targeted an area near al-Zahraa Brigade without reported casualties, according to the sources.
They added that several fighters from Haftar's forces had been captured, while others had been killed including a prominent big shot in Tuwaysha.
The UNSMIL, meanwhile, called on all parties to commit to an extendable one-week humanitarian truce ..The purposes of a truce are twofold: 1.) bring up more arms, ammunition, and reinforcements; and 2.) get the enemy to relax his vigilance. A truce is not the same thing as a ceasefire, and a ceasefire doesn't mean you have to stop shooting... , however; no party has so far issued a reply to the UNSMIL's call.

[Inquirer] The ringleader of a plot to take six Islamist extremists from Australia in a motor boat to the southern Philippines to overthrow the provincial government was sentenced by an Australian judge on Friday to seven years in prison. Victoria state Supreme Court Justice Michael Croucher ordered Islamic State sympathizer Robert “Musa” Cerantonio
...the Melbourne-born radical preacher who had converted from Catholicism in his youth...
to serve at least five years and three months in prison before becoming eligible for parole.
The 34-year-old had pleaded guilty to engaging in conduct in preparation for hostile activities in a foreign country.
Cerantonio and five other men had plotted in 2016 to take a 23-foot power boat off the northeast Queensland coast to encourage others to overthrow the government in the southern Philippines and install sharia law. None of them could travel the 2,200 miles to the Philippines by conventional means because their Australian passports had been canceled due to concerns they would become foreign fighters.
They had towed the boat with a car 1,900 miles from their homes in Melbourne to Laura in the tropical north before they were arrested by police in May 2016. Croucher described the planned voyage by men with no experience of boats as a trip “foredoomed to failure.”
“It’s hard to imagine they would have made it very far past the breakers,” said Croucher.
The other five had already been sentenced from three years and ten months to four years in prison.
Croucher said Cerantonio’s role in sharing his “putrid ideas” deserved a greater punishment than the others who were subordinates and influenced by him.
Philippine authorities deported Cerantonio in 2014 because of his suspected links to militants based on YouTube videos showing him advocating jihad.
The judge said Cerantonio was obviously intelligent. He said, "He intended to use his considerable gifts for evil, not for good."
Croucher was not satisfied Cerantonio had renounced his extremist beliefs since his arrest.
Defense lawyer Jarrod Williams said Cerantonio did not fit the extremist stereotype and enjoyed music by AC/DC, Cold Chisel, Johnny Cash, Paul Simon and Rammstein. Williams said, "This is a man who doesn’t always fit the profile of an Islamic extremist."

Sunday’s Times of Israel liveblog can be found here. Headlineas of midnight EDT Monday:
Despite truce reports all Israeli schools in southern Israel to remain closed.
Update at 9:30 a.m. EDT: Monday’s Times of Israel liveblog can be seen here. Current claimed Palestinian death toll is 31, of which at least 11 where jihadis, while 4 Israelis were killed. Israel hit more than 350 targets. Gaza fired 690 rockets — Iron Dome intercepted 240.
[twitter]
Both #Israel and #Hamas have now ruled out the possibility of a ceasefire.
And like the fickle folk now they change their minds. What will it be, come Washington, DC AM?
Not to worry— either Hamasniks or Islamic Jihadis won’t be able to resist shooting off more rockets soon enough. They have about 9,000 remaining in stock, after all. One does wonder if we will discover this was meant to be yet another huge joint pincer attack that the Israelis either disrupted or triggered early — that Islamic Jihad tunnel destroyed on the first day is suggestive — or if this is just the annual Ramadan rambunctiousness.
BREAKING: Ceasefire Reached between Israel & Palestinian factions after hundreds of rockets, air strikes in last 48 hours. (Reuters) http://t.co/veX1CPN42H
Whoops that cease fire was without anybody talking to Israel!
#BREAKING: My source in the IDF says there is currently no recognition from #Israel that a ceasefire is in place. Seems once again to merely be #Hamas deciding unilaterally that there is a ceasefire. The ball is in #Israel's court on how to proceed with the #Gaza escalation.
— Instant News Alerts (@InstaNewsAlerts) May 6, 2019
lord garth, commenting on another article quoting Palestinian officials claiming a hudna, wrote, “The IDF has not hit a target since about 900pm EDT Sunday and Hamas has not fired a rocket since about then also - about the past 2 hours before this post then have been a de facto truce.” So there’s that.
The Public Security Ministry building, in the Rimal neighborhood of Gazoo City, was destroyed after IAF jets carried out its "knocks on the roof" policy of first dropping dummy bombs, to warn anyone inside to evacuate. The Israeli Air Force also hit other Gazoo targets, including the homes of Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", commanders and military installations.
Three Paleostinians, including two members of the Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate.

More than 650 hundred rockets have been fired at Israel from the Gazoo Strip since Saturday morning, a senior Israel Air Force officer said Sunday. This is far higher than the average of 150 rockets fired each day during the last Gazoo war in 2014, known in Israel as Operation Protective Edge.
"Two hundred rockets were fired at residential areas, with an interception rate above 86 percent," the officer said of Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system, adding that the army was trying to ascertain why ome rockets managed to get through and hit residential areas. "No defense is absolute," he said.
According to the officer, the Israel Air Force had carried out more than 100 missions in Gazoo by late Sunday afternoon.
He added that the IDF is carrying out the instructions of the government and that for every building that they hit or significant strike, Gazoofaceless myrmidons react impulsively, and Israeli forces are prepared for any eventuality, including rockets fired deeper into Israel.
The officer also said that Hamas is trying to target IDF ground forces along the border using drones, but they have so far been thwarted.
On Sunday night, the Israeli military said it bombed some 40 "terror targets" in the Gazoo Strip in its latest round of Arclight airstrikes, bringing the IDF’s total number of raids up to 320 in the past two days. The military said it targeted "observation headquarters, underground bunkers, weapons caches, military facilities, launchpads, observation posts and more" in its most recent air raids.
The army said it targeted sites connected to both the Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", terror group, which rules Gazoo, and the Iran-backed Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate.

In total 19 Paleostinians were killed by Israeli strikes in Gazoo on Sunday, the enclave’s health ministry said.
The ministry said among those killed on Sunday were a pregnant woman and a four-month-old baby. The Israeli military declined to comment on the claim.
At least six of those killed were confirmed to be bandidosbully boyz affiliated with the Paleostinian territory’s leaders Hamas or the allied Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Israel killed a Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", commander in the Gazoo Strip on Sunday in what the military described as a targeted strike and Paleostinians said was the first such action since the 2014 war in the Paleostinian enclave.
A military statement said that Hamed Ahmed Abed Khudri had been responsible for transfering funds from Iran to armed factions in Gazoo.
Paleostinian witnesses said he was killed in an air strike on his car.
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered the military to keep up "massive strikes" in response to rocket fire from the Gazoo Strip, as an escalation entered its second day.

[DAWN] Israel's army on Sunday denied claims from Gazook authorities that an Israeli strike killed a pregnant Paleostinian mother and her baby, saying errant Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, fire was to blame for the deaths.
"The terror organizations' propaganda at its finest," Israeli army front man Ronen Manelis said on Twitter.
"The mother and girl they're claiming in Gazoo that were killed in an (Israeli) attack were killed by Hamas use of weapons," he added, without providing further details.
Another Israeli military front man, Jonathan Conricus, told journalists later that based on intelligence "we are now confident" that the deaths were not due to an Israeli strike.
"Their unfortunate death was not a result of [Israeli] weaponry but a Hamas rocket that was fired and went kaboom! not where it was supposed to," he said.
The Gazook health ministry said on Saturday that Falestine Abu Arar, 37, and her 14-month-old daughter were killed by an Israeli strike that hit their home.
A severe escalation that began Saturday has seen Paleostinian gunnies fire some 430 rockets from Gazoo, Israel's army says.
Israel has responded with waves of air and tank strikes and says it is targeting only military-related sites. Four other Paleostinians have been reported killed, including at least two bad boys. One Israeli civilian was killed in a rocket strike on the city of Ashkelon near the Gazoo border.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A city near Sri Lanka’s capital was placed under curfew by police Sunday, following festivities between Moslem and Christian mobs two weeks after suicide kabooms left 257 people dead.
A senior police officer said the restrictions were imposed to prevent an escalation of violence after attacks occurred in Negombo - north of Colombo - where over 100 people died in a church bombing.
"About two cycle of violences and a three-wheel taxi had been damaged in the festivities," the police officer told AFP.
"We declared a curfew till 7.00 am (0130 GMT) to contain the unrest," he added.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The country’s main international airport is located in the area, but police said there was no disruption to airport traffic.
The officer said an investigation was underway into the festivities, the first violence between Moslems and Christians since the Easter Sunday attacks targeting three churches and three luxury hotels in the country.
The Sri Lankan government has reimposed a ban on social media platforms in an effort to stop the spread of rumors after violence erupted like lava from a volcano between groups of civilians in Negombo.

Iran might close the Strait of Hormuz for a little while but they wouldn't be able to hold it with the whole world pushing back. They would also try to stir things up with Israel as a distraction. And Maduro would take advantage of that.

Time to implement Tom Clancy's "Ryan Doctrine", take out the leaders of the country that starts things and not worry about the schlubs in the front line so much. The ayatholahs and caliphs should quickly get up close and personal with a missle.

"On April 23rd, a huge story went mostly unnoticed as former Iranian Brigadier General Ali Nasiri from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) allegedly defected to the United States through an embassy in the region. He had with him a treasure trove of documents related to Iranian military and intelligence plans."

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Air strikes by Syrian government ally Russia on Sunday forced the closure of two hospitals in the Syrian province of Idlib, a war monitor said.
It came on a day that eight non-combatants were killed in bombardment by the regime and Russia across the northwestern province, said the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Idlib and other adjacent territories of Syria held by Death Eaters have faced intensifying bombardment in the past month.
On Sunday air strikes hit a hospital in Kafranbel and another located underground on the outskirts of Hass.
The raids were blamed on Russia by the Observatory. An AFP cameraman filmed the two facilities hit by strikes.
"The hospital in Kafranbel is out of order. The patients were transferred to other facilities in the region," Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP, adding one civilian was killed.
In Hass, air strikes blamed on Russia halted services at an underground hospital, said Syria Relief and Development, a non-governmental organization that runs the facility.
The facility had been evacuated shortly before the bombardments, he said, thanks to alerts from a warning system set up to analyze the flight paths of warplanes.
Idlib is under the administrative control of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which is dominated by a faction previously known as the al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front, before it renounced ties to al-Qaeda.

...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987.

He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death.
