Texas Arrests 12 Dangerous 'Criminal Illegal Immigrants' from Most-Wanted Lists
[Breitbart] Texas Department of Public Safety officials announced the arrest of 12 dangerous “criminal illegal immigrants” from the State’s most-wanted lists.

Texas DPS officials reported the arrests of a dozen “criminal illegal immigrants” from the State’s lists of most-wanted fugitives, according to a DPS report. The list includes migrants who entered the U.S. illegally and committed additional crimes while in the state of Texas.

Those arrested include fugitives wanted for human smuggling, commercial sex trafficking, evading arrests, indecency with a child, driving while intoxicated, sexual assault, assault causing bodily injury, deadly conduct by discharging a firearm at a person, indecency with a child by sexual contact, burglary of a residence, and aggravated sexual assault of a child.
One female, all the rest male; primarily from Mexico and El Salvador, one each from Guatemala, Honduras, and Cuba — details at the link.
Under Governor Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, Texas law enforcement officials arrested more than 43,400 criminal aliens who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into the Lone Star State. Those arrests led to the filing of nearly 39,000 felony charges.

Africa Horn
Healthcare provider accuses RSF of attacking staff in El Fasher
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The International Planned Parenthood
...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party...
Federation (IPPF) said attacks on one of its healthcare clinics in Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
occurred this week, with several staff and volunteers from its member association in the country either injured or killed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

IPPF is a global healthcare provider and a leading advocate of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all. We are a movement of 150 Member Associations and Collaborative Partners with a presence in over 146 countries.

In a statement on its website, the health provider said its clinic in the North Darfur capital, El Fasher has been destroyed, meaning there is one less option for women and girls to receive lifesaving sexual and reproductive healthcare in the region.

For over a month, ongoing battles around El Fasher have been taking place. The RSF have reportedly been indiscriminately shelling military and civilian targets.

A number of incidences are mentioned, with one being the death of Mahasen Abdul Jabbar, a volunteer linked to Sudan Family Planning Association (SFPA).

He was killed after being hit by a gunshot at the clinic while Dr Daifallah Mohammed, a volunteer family medicine specialist died as a result of the war

One of the nurses, it said, was hit with shrapnel and has been transferred to hospital in a critical condition and all contact with her has reportedly been lost.

The RSF has also been kidnapping patients, but their whereabouts unknown.

"We are devastated to learn of another attack on one of our clinics in Sudan, and the injuries and loss of lives to our staff and volunteers. Healthcare facilities, and most importantly, healthcare workers, must never be the target of war," Dr. Alvaro Bermejo, the Deputy Director of IPPF, said.

"The sexual and reproductive health and lives of 800,000 people in North Darfur — including women, children, and people with disabilities — are hanging in the balance as bombing and shelling cause widespread harm to civilians and severely disrupt the essential health services they very much depend on," he added.

Sudanese army retakes A-Dinder from RSF
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese army and its allied armed movements announced on Thursday the recapture of A-Dinder, a city in Sennar State, southeast Sudan, five days after it fell under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The RSF had seized the town, located on the border between Sennar and Gedaref states in eastern Sudan, and engaged in widespread violations, including looting money, agricultural crops, gold jewellery, mobile phones, and cars, as part of a larger campaign impacting multiple villages.

Video clips released by sources affiliated with the army and the joint force revealed the destruction inflicted by the RSF on civilian property, including cars, houses, and shops. Other footage showed combat vehicles and cycle of violences belonging to the RSF, which were destroyed by the joint army and allied forces following intense battles in different neighbourhoods.

A statement from the joint force declared that they had "liberated A-Dinder and pursued the Janjaweed militia to the entrance of Sinjah," a nearby town. They also recovered looted property and urged citizens to return home, promising protection.

The joint force, composed of the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Minni Minawi, the Justice and Equality Movement led by Gibril Ibrahim, and a faction of the Gathering of Sudan Liberation Forces, has a strong presence in al-Faw of Gedaref State.

Strategically located about 25 kilometres from Sinjah, the capital of Sennar State, A-Dinder serves as a vital link between the Sennar and Blue Nile regions and eastern Sudan.

The A-Dinder Bridge, spanning the Blue Nile, became an escape route for thousands of civilians fleeing RSF abuses in Sennar State. They sought refuge in the eastern states.

Previously, on June 29, the RSF took control of Sinjah after moving their forces along dirt roads from the Jebel Moya areas, about 40 kilometres south of Sennar city. After capturing the army base and local government headquarters, RSF members reportedly engaged in looting and terrorizing residents.

“This action was taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure.”

Europe
Fifty violent attacks shock country ahead of crunch vote
[BBC] More than 50 candidates and activists in La Belle France have come under physical attack in the run-up to Sunday's tense final round of parliamentary elections, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has said.

He revealed the figure after government spokeswoman Prisca Thevenot, her deputy Virginie Lanlo and a party activist were brutally assaulted as they put up election posters in Meudon, south-west of Gay Paree.

The motive for the attack is not clear, but Ms Thevenot returned to Meudon on Thursday with Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who condemned what he called "attacks of intolerable cowardice".

The spate of assaults across La Belle France reflects the febrile mood on the final day of campaigning in an election that the far-right National Rally (RN) is poised to win.

Although RN is well ahead in the polls, 217 candidates have dropped out from local run-off races so another candidate has a better chance of stopping them winning an outright majority in the National Assembly.

Mr Darmanin told news channel BFMTV the attacks were taking place in a climate in which La Belle France was "on edge" and more than 30 people had been arrested.

He said the attackers were either people who had "spontaneously become angry" or they were the "ultra-left, ultra-right or other political groups".

Images filmed from a block of flats showed the youths swarming around the candidate, her deputy Virginie Lanlo and a party activist for President Emmanuel Macron's Ensemble alliance.

Ms Thevenot told Le Gay Pareeien website that when she and her colleagues objected to the youths defacing party posters "they immediately attacked one of my activists, injuring Virginie". Ms Lanlo suffered an arm injury, while the activist was punched and hit with a scooter, ending up with a broken jaw. The car windscreen was also smashed by the scooter.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
'Nowhere, no one is safe in Gaza': Fresh Israeli assaults kill seven
[GEO.TV] Fresh assaults by the Israeli forces have killed at least seven more people in Gaza’s Khan Younis as senior UN official says there was nowhere in Gaza where people could take refuge or find protection as they were always on the front-line, Al Jazeera reported.
FAFO
Head of UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) Andrea De Domenico said, "Nowhere and no one is safe in Gaza", which has become a place "where people cannot find a safe refuge, and can’t leave the front line".

Israeli military’s strike on a building left at least seven dead near Khan Younis’ Nasser Hospital, days after Israel directed residents of the area to leave the war-torn city.

Hezbollah vows to attack 'new sites' in Israel in response to commander's killing
[GEO.TV] Senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine threatened on Thursday to attack new locations within Israel as part of the group's response to the killing by Israel of a top commander in the group.

"The series of responses continues in succession, and this series will continue to target new sites that the enemy did not imagine would be hit," Safieddine said, speaking at the senior commander's memorial.

Hezbollah fired at least 200 rockets and nearly two dozen drones on Thursday in retaliation.

's small Christian community. After nine months of Israeli military action that has devastated the Paleostinian enclave's health system, priests have turned it into a hospital.

Beds line the pale stone walls under a vaulted roof as doctors tend to patients unable to find a space at the Anglican-run al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital, which like Gaza's other remaining medical facilities is straining under high demand.

"The space designated for prayers was converted into a clinic due to the lack of available places. Today, our priority is to save the life of every human being that we can," said priest Munther Isaac, wearing a black shirt and holy manal collar.

A man stood by one bed, fanning the elderly patient lying with an oxygen mask over his mouth. Crosses were carved into the walls of the nave. St Philip's is located in the same compound as the al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
2 civilians injured, 1 fighter killed in Israeli response to Hezbollah rocket barrage
[NAHARNET] The Israeli military said Thursday its forces were "striking launch posts in southern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
" after "numerous projectiles and suspicious aerial targets crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory".

It said that most were intercepted by air defense systems but that "fires broke out in a number of areas in northern Israel" following the attacks.

Israel on Wednesday killed a senior Hezbollah commander, Mohammed Naameh Nasser, near the Lebanese coastal town of Tyre.

A source close to the group described him as the "Hezbollah commander responsible for one of three sectors in south Lebanon". Another border sector chief was killed in an Israeli strike last month.

Hezbollah said that "as part of the response to the... liquidation carried out by the enemy" it had fired "more than 200 rockets" and "a squadron of explosive drones" at Israeli bases.

Air raid sirens blared across northern Israel in the morning, and an AFP correspondent witnessed rockets crossing the frontier that were intercepted.

Israel did not report any deaths in its northern border area, where most communities have been evacuated, but quickly said it had responded with strikes on targets in southern Lebanon.

Israeli artillery shelled al-Qantara, Kounine and Qabrikha, including with white phosphorus bombs, while warplanes struck Bani Hayyan, Deir al-Seryan, and a forest between Kfarhamam and Kfarshouba.

A photojournalist and a civilian were meanwhile injured in Israeli shelling on Kfarshouba and a Hezbollah fighter was killed in a strike on the southern border town of Houla.

Typhoon fighter jet makes dangerous close approach to An-30 in Syria
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Over the Syrian province of Homs, a Russian pilot managed to avoid a collision between an An-30 of the Russian Armed Forces and a Typhoon fighter of the "coalition", which could have occurred due to a dangerous approach. This was reported by the deputy head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides (CRPS) in the Syrian Arab Republic, Major General Yuri Popov.

The incident occurred on July 3 between 09:44 and 09:51 over the At-Tanf region.

After a dangerous approach, a collision was avoided thanks to the high professionalism of the Russian pilot, who took the necessary measures in a timely manner, Popov clarified.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, a dangerous approach occurred in the skies over Syria between an American reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial vehicle and a Su-35 fighter jet of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

The Russian Armed Forces, together with the Syrian military, conducted exercises during which they repelled enemy attacks on the Tartus base.
