So we send money to the Mideast, e.g. Iran, Qatar, Yemen who then send it to proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah who are hell-bent on the destruction of the U.S. as well as Israel. How smart is that? How many of these people have come across our southern border and ended up in the U.S.? When is 911, part 2 going to occur? Fix the friggin northern and southern borders ASAP. We have an ongoing disaster and failure in the Obiden admin.

[Regnum] Saudi Arabia has put its army and air defense forces on high alert, Bloomberg reported, citing its own sources.
The kingdom’s authorities made this decision after clashes between the military and rebels from Yemen belonging to the Ansar Allah movement (Houthis). This included an incident a few weeks ago when rebels tried to launch a missile attack on Saudi Arabia, but the attack was repelled.
In addition, the decision was influenced by the incident with the death of four Saudi soldiers in the southern province of Jizan, which is located on the border with Yemen. New clashes erupted after October 19, when the Houthis fired cruise missiles and drones at Israel. These assets were intercepted by an American destroyer in the Red Sea.
The publication also states that on October 30, Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khaled bin Salman Al Saud met with senior officials from the administration of US President Joe Biden in Washington . The parties discussed the consequences of the war between Israel and Hamas, as well as the situation in Yemen.
As Regnum reported , in April 2023, the Yemeni authorities and representatives of the Ansar Allah group, through the mediation of Oman, entered into an agreement to extend the truce for six months.
Compared to previous agreements, the new documents spelled out additional conditions, including the opening of additional routes from the airport in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, as well as the lifting of restrictions on the passage of ships to the port of Hodeidah and the lifting of road blockades.

[Regnum] Yemen's Houthi rebels from the Shiite group Ansar Allah launched a large number of drones and ballistic missiles into Israel, the organization's spokesman Yahya Saria said on October 31 on Al Masirah TV.
“Our armed forces launched a large batch
...where large batch means two or three, or possibly as many as five?
of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as a large number of drones at various enemy targets ,” he said.
Saria added that the Houthis intend to continue to strike targets in Israel until it stops its aggressive actions.
On the morning of October 31, Israel reported the interception of a drone near the city of Eilat. According to preliminary data, it was launched from Yemen. The drone did not manage to reach Israeli territory.
The Ansar Allah group announced on October 13 that it was ready to support the Palestinians and fight against Israel. On October 20, it became known that the US Navy destroyer Carney intercepted cruise missiles and drones fired from Yemen over the northern Red Sea. American sailors assumed that they were launched towards Israel.
Meanwhile, on October 31, the Israel Defense Forces announced that fierce fighting had begun in the Gaza Strip with members of the Palestinian Hamas movement. According to the Israeli military, they managed to kill dozens of militants.
The escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict began on October 7. The Palestinian radical movement Hamas attacked Israel with several thousand rockets, calling it Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
It’s a really, really clever name because in the end a great many Gazans and Hamas allies will end up drowned... or drowning-equivalent.
In response, the Israeli authorities launched Operation Iron Swords,
...the Israelis don’t feel a need to be nearly as poetic, for some reason...
during which the IDF regained control over all settlements previously captured by Hamas.
The Israel Defense Forces began carrying out airstrikes against targets, including civilians, in Gaza. Israeli authorities announced a complete blockade of the enclave and called on Palestinians to move from the north of Gaza to the south. About one million people must leave their homes.
[NY Post] FAFO
Paris police shot and critically wounded a woman wearing a hijab who was behaving in a threatening manner and shouted "Allahu Akbar" and "You’re all going to die" in a metro station on Tuesday morning, Paris police chief Laurent Nunez said.
France is on its highest state of alert after the Oct. 13 murder of a schoolteacher in a suspected Islamist attack, which officials have linked to what they called a "Jihadist atmosphere" linked to the Israel-Gaza war.
The fully-veiled woman was shot at the Bibliotheque Francois-Mitterrand station.
Commuters had reported her "uttering aggressive, Jihadist comments," government spokesman Olivier Veran said earlier.
When police arrived, "they pulled the woman aside and first asked her to calm down but also to show her hands to show they presented no particular danger," he added.
"What happened then was that law enforcement officers had no option but to open fire on this woman given the danger of the situation."
The fire service, which provided emergency care for the woman, said she was shot in the abdomen.
She was transferred to a nearby hospital where she was getting treatment, police chief Nunez said, adding that her life was in danger.
Nunez said the woman’s identity was yet to be confirmed but that she could be the same person who in 2021 threatened urban patrols of the counter-terrorism Sentinelle operation and had been put in a psychiatric ward over mental health issues.
"This person refused to comply with summons and police fired their weapons," Nunez said, adding the situation had been "extremely threatening." The woman had threatened to blow herself up, French media including Le Parisien quoted the prosecutor’s office as saying.
The woman turned out not be in possession of explosives at the time she was shot, Nunez said.
The metro station, on the RER C line, was evacuated after the incident, police said.
Two investigations were opened, one against the woman and a second into the use of weapons by police.

Biden (or his handlers) will eventually turn on Israel. Could be a US Navy enforced 'No Fly Zone' ceasefire. I am shocked it hasn't happened already.

^Google "desensitization".
Anyway the entire concept of "stop/intercept" is bullshit - eventually they luck out. Retaliation is what works best. And since they're both dumb and semi-sociopathic, retaliation has to be massive.
Those would be dual citizens who chose to be there rather than kidnapped hostages, I assume.
[NYPOST] Roughly 1,000 Americans are stuck 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... without a way out as Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... Death Eaters refuse to open the region’s main exit route into Egypt, Secretary of State Antony Blinken ...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm... told the Senate Appropriations Committee Tuesday.
The figure was revealed by America’s top diplomat the same day the State Department operated its final evacuation charter flight out of Israel.
Hamas has refused to let anyone seeking to leave its territory through the Rafah crossing, where Israeli officials had told Gazooks to flee to avoid its burgeoning ground offensive.
Among those caught in the middle are about 400 Americans and their families — about 1,000 people in all, Blinken said, as well as an estimated 5,000 citizens from other countries.
Good to know.
"We’re working with various parties to try to facilitate their departure from Gaza," he said. "The impediment is simple: it’s Hamas."
Blinken added that his department was "focused on this intensively" and working with regional partners to hash out a way to get the US citizens out of Gaza.
"We’ve not yet found a way to get them out through whatever place and by whatever means that Hamas is not blocking, but we’re working that with intermediaries," he said.

[NYPOST] An Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... at a refugee camp in northern 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... killed at least 50 people, including a key Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... commander linked to the Oct. 7 terror attack on innocent civilians, reports said.
Ah. It wasn’t about a weapons cache but about an evil man who needed killing... and the human shields he surrounded himself with.
A series of aerial explosives rained down on residential dwellings at the center of the Jabalia refugee camp — located in the densely populated northern portion of the besieged enclave, according to Hamas officials.
The Israeli military said that the strikes were aimed at Hamas’ terror infrastructure in an area where civilians were warned to evacuate.
"This is the tragedy of war," IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht told CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... ’s Wolf Blitzer after the attack on Tuesday.
Hecht accused Hamas of "hiding, as they do, behind civilians" and urged anyone remaining in Gaza "to move south" per Israel’s evacuation order.
Two IDF soldiers were killed while fighting in northern Gaza on Tuesday — the first Israeli ground troop death reported since Israel expanded its invasion into the enclave four days ago, a military spokesperson said. The two soldiers, of the Givati Brigade, were killed in "hand-to-hand combat," IDF’s Daniel Hagari told The Wall Street Journal.
Footage obtained by Rooters shows people at the destroyed refugee camp desperately searching for survivors through the rubble of the destroyed cement buildings, surrounded by deep craters.
The dead, covered in cloth, were laid out in the street by medics. The maimed, which included children, rushed inside buildings for treatment.

[Regnum] In Israel, an unmanned aerial vehicle was intercepted near the city of Eilat in the south of the country. It is specified that it was intercepted in the Red Sea area. The drone was launched from Yemen, but did not manage to reach the territory of the Jewish state. This was reported by the Israeli radio station Kan.
“After activating an alarm in the area of the southern Israeli city of Eilat, an enemy UAV was intercepted outside Israel in the Red Sea area,” the publication said.
At the same time, the Israel Defense Forces reported on its Telegram channel that it had detected an air target approaching the country’s territory. It is noted that there are no threats or risks to civilians. The day before, the IDF reported that an air raid alert was being declared in Jerusalem and central Israel.
Since October 7, the long-standing Middle East conflict between Israel and Palestine has flared up with renewed vigor. The Palestinian Hamas movement attacked Israeli territory. In response, the country's authorities launched Operation Iron Swords, during which they managed to gain control over all the settlements previously captured by Hamas.
The IDF then began carrying out airstrikes against targets, including civilians, in Gaza. Israel announced a complete blockade of the enclave and called on its residents to move from north to south Gaza. About one million people must leave their homes.
On the morning of October 31, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the beginning of the third stage of the war with the Hamas movement. He announced the completion of the first, blocking stage. The second stage - air strikes against Hamas, according to Netanyahu, continues all the time. Stage Three: The IDF expanded its ground operations in the Gaza Strip.

[HotAir] So far the war against Israel hasn’t gone well for Hamas after its psychotic, barbaric murder rampage across southern Israel. One reason Hamas finds itself pinned down and about to be overrun in Gaza is the lack of effective secondary and tertiary fronts. Hamas clearly expected fellow Iranian clients Hezbollah and Syria to join the war by now, especially with Israel now clearly conducting a ground invasion — and doing so effectively.
Syria thus far seems largely uninterested in going to war so far, perhaps because Bashar al-Assad has plenty of threats to his regime already. Hezbollah has tried to at least distract Israel with missile and rocket attacks, but the IDF’s massive mobilization seems to have deterred them from a ground invasion from the north, perhaps with the two US carrier groups off their shore another powerful deterrent. And Israel’s technological advantages have mainly negated the massive missile threat from the north, at least so far.
In fact, Reuters reports that Hezbollah has lost so many soldiers already that they’re beginning to talk about dialing down the martyrdom a bit:
With dozens of Hezbollah fighters killed in three weeks of border clashes with Israel, the Lebanese group is working to stem its losses as it prepares for the possibility of a drawn-out conflict, three sources familiar with its thinking said.
The Iran-backed group has lost 47 fighters to Israeli strikes at Lebanon’s frontier since its Palestinian ally Hamas and Israel went to war on Oct. 7 — about a fifth of the number killed in a full-scale war between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006. ...
One of the sources familiar with Hezbollah’s thinking told Reuters that the use of anti-aircraft missiles was one of several steps taken by the Shi’ite Muslim group to curb its losses and counter Israeli drones, which have picked off its fighters in the rocky terrain and olive groves along the border.
Hezbollah had made "arrangements to reduce the number of martyrs," the source said, without offering further details.
Just stay quiet on your side of the border. And IDF will not harm a hair on your curly little heads.
...If Hezbollah’s already worried about "reduc[ing] the number of martyrs," it sounds as though the second front Hamas needs won’t open up any time soon. The threat will still pin down significant IDF resources in the north as well as at the Golan Heights, but isn’t helping Hamas as much as they thought. The IDF clearly believes it has plenty of resources on hand to fight Hamas to the finish in Gaza.
Iran’s proxy army in Yemen has tried to get into the fight, but not with much success. The US Navy shot down missiles several days ago heading to the Red Sea, and today the IDF’s other air-defense system shot down more: In fact, the only ally Hamas has left is the UN.
...Meanwhile, Israel has put aside any pretense of raids. The ground war has clearly begun in earnest now, and the IDF reports significant progress in isolating northern Gaza and encircling Hamas’ command operations:
