-Lurid Crime Tales-
Half-Ton of Fentanyl Pills Seized at Arizona Border -- Largest Bust in CBP History
[Breitbart] Brought to you by the Harris-Biden open borders and Chinese precursors and Messican Cartels
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers working at the Lukeville, Arizona, recently made what the agency is calling its largest seizure of fentanyl to date. Officers at the port of entry discovered approximately four million blue fentanyl pills weighing more than 1,000 pounds.

The seizure was one of several large fentanyl busts the agency saw during the month of July as part of two special operations targeting fentanyl smuggling and the cartel bosses that move the deadly drug into the United States.

CBP officials said in a statement this week that the record-breaking seizure occurred on July 1 when officers at the Lukeville Port of Entry encountered a 20-year-old United Citizen from Arizona attempting to enter the country from Mexico. The Arizona man was driving a 2011 pick-up truck towing a sport recreational vehicle on a utility trailer, not uncommon at the port due to its proximity to beach recreational areas in Mexico.

Officers decided to perform a more intensive inspection on the vehicle, trailer, and truck at a secondary inspection area. During that search the officers noticed anomalies throughout the frame of the trailer. A K-9 detection team aided in the search that ultimately led to the discovery of 234 packages containing the four million fentanyl pills hidden in the frame of the trailer.

According to CBP, officers at the same port of entry reported that about 270 pounds of methamphetamine were seized several days later. The second seizure occurred on July 12, when a 45-year-old male Mexican citizen driving a 2007 Ford F-150 pick-up truck
F-150 — drink up!
also towing a utility trailer sought entry into the U.S. An inspection using a non-intrusive x-ray device and a K-9 inspection team led officers to 39 packages of methamphetamine totaling nearly 272 pounds and an additional five pounds of cocaine.

CBP estimates the street value for these two significant seizures is more than $12.6 million.

These two drug seizures were part of two concerted counter-drug operations, Operation Apollo-Arizona and Operation Plaza Spike. According to the agency, Operation Apollo-Arizona is a counter-fentanyl joint operation focusing on intelligence collection. The operation concentrates law enforcement efforts on disrupting drug and chemical supply, collecting and sharing intelligence, and leveraging valuable partnerships.

Operation Plaza Spike targets the plaza bosses and cartels that facilitate the flow of deadly fentanyl and other illicit synthetic drugs. It is designed to disrupt operations in the “plazas,” cartel territories located directly south of the United States that are natural logistical chokepoints within the cartels’ operations.

According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, in 2022 alone, 107,941 Americans died from drug poisonings, with a staggering 70 percent of those deaths caused by fentanyl and synthetic opioids. Fentanyl remains the leading cause of death among Americans aged 18-45.

In a campaign launched by the DEA known as “One Pill Can Kill,” the agency warned the public its testing concluded that one in seven counterfeit pills marketed by Mexican drug cartels was found to contain a deadly dose of fentanyl.

Arabia
Yemeni forces shoot down US drone, hit ship in Gulf of Aden
[HodhodYemenNews] The Yemeni armed forces announced that they successfully downed a US MQ-9 Reaper drone over Saada Governorate and struck a ship in the Gulf of Aden, in support of the Paleostinian people’s plight and in response to the American-British aggression against Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
"The Air Defense Forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces were able to shoot down an American drone type MQ9 while it was carrying out hostile acts in the airspace of Saada Governorate, with a locally made surface-to-air missile," Yemen’s military front man brigadier general Yahya Sare’e said in a statement on Sunday.

This aircraft is the seventh of its kind that was shot down during the Battle of the Promised Conquest and the Holy Jihad in support of 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...
, Yahya Sare’e explained.

He added, " Within the fourth stage of escalation related to the area of maritime operations, the naval forces and the missile forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a joint military operation in which they targeted the "Groton" ship in the Gulf of Aden with a number of ballistic missiles, and the hit was accurate, thanks to Allah."

He noted the ship was targeted because the company that owns it violated the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Paleostine.
The Times of Israel adds:
Saturday’s attack happened some 225 kilometers (140 miles) southeast of Aden in a stretch of the Gulf of Aden that has seen numerous Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
attacks previously.

A security official on the vessel said a missile struck the vessel, but "no fires, water ingress or oil leaks have been observed," according to a statement from the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center, a clearinghouse for information on attacks in the Mideast. The UKMTO did not immediately identify the vessel hit.

The private security firm Ambrey also reported the attack. Details reported by the two organizations suggested the vessel targeted was the Liberian-flagged container ship Groton, which had left Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates bound for Jeddah, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat Frational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
. The Groton’s Greek managers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Houthis did not immediately claim the attack Saturday. However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable...
it can take the rebels hours or even days before they acknowledge an assault.

war. Already, the US military says it will move a fighter jet squadron to the Middle East and keep an aircraft carrier in the region.

The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group will enter the Middle East to replace the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group, which is in the Gulf of Oman. Other ships are in the Mediterranean Sea with a Marine detachment if regional evacuations become necessary.

Meanwhile Saturday, the US military’s Central Command said its forces destroyed a Houthi missile and launcher in Yemen.

Anti-Immigration Protests In UK Spreads As Elon Musk Warns "Civil War Is Inevitable"
[ZERO] European countries on the front lines, such as Greece and Italy, have been overwhelmed with migrants over the years due to failed open-border policies facilitated by radical leftist politicians. These unaccountable leaders (elected & unelected) have created the perfect storm of migrant crime and chaos across the continent.

On Saturday evening, Musk weighed in on the unrest, warning: "Civil war is inevitable."

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer promises those involved ‘directly’ or online in riots will live to regret it. ~90 arrested thus far
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
…be treated like the American Jan. 6 suspects. Meanwhile, UK Antifa groups are organizing to join the Muslim and leftist coalition to brawl with the protesters.
The sad thing is that Labour’s honest perfidy is better than the Tories doing exactly the same while spouting conservative pieties:

About 90 people have been arrested after skirmishes broke out in numerous English cities, including Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Blackpool and Hull, as well as Belfast in Northern Ireland.

The skirmishes marked the fourth day of unrest in several towns and cities following Monday’s frenzied knife attack in Southport, near Liverpool on England’s northwest coast.

Police have blamed the violence on supporters and associated organizations of the English Defence League, an anti-Islam organization founded 15 years ago whose supporters have been linked to soccer hooliganism.

Wake up "AMERICA".

This is the typical result of any mass immigration agenda, for any OPEN BORDERS nation.

When any Open Border Nation Does Not require those storming in to it, to integrate, follow established law and accept the traditions of their new nation, that area is usually forced to accept the invader's versions.

Because, once the invaders congregate, and have acquired the needed numbers (Citizen or Non-Citizen status) in selected areas, then the implanted radical leaders appear and start forcing their laws, culture and originating nation's issues on the host area.

We have already seen this in the EU, and a number of Liberal US Metro areas.

SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Can this Smartphone, mostly pandered to, wimpy raised, pronoun accepting, Generation, handle what is facing it in 10 years?

Because, the USA is already Press #2 for English in some areas.

#1  Sounds like a basis for a federal law, if an illegal is deported and returns committing a capital crime, it should invoke a death penalty. Only two factors: 1 was he/she deported? 2 did they commit a capital crime? If the answer to both is yes, no further appeal.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IDF targets Hezbollah operative in southern Lebanese village after Hezbollah rockets go up
[IsraelTimes] A Hezbollah operative was struck by fighter jets at a building used by the terror group in the southern Lebanon village of Houla, the IDF says.

The military says the operative was identified by troops of the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit entering the weapons depot, and a short while later, an airstrike was carried out.

Separately, a Hezbollah operative spotted in the Beit Lif area was killed in a drone strike, the IDF says.

The IDF adds that other Hezbollah infrastructure was struck in Ayta ash-Shab.

Hezbollah carried out several rocket attacks on northern Israel today, with impacts reported in Kiryat Shmona, Malkia and the Mount Dov area. There were no injuries.

IDF: Hezbollah fired some 30 rockets in overnight barrage; jets strike launcher in southern Lebanon

[IsraelTimes] Hezbollah fired some 30 rockets from Lebanon at the Galilee Panhandle late last night, the IDF says, after the terror group took responsibility for the barrage just after midnight.

The IDF says that most of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system, though one impacted the northern community of Beit Hillel, and several more landed in open areas.

There were no injuries in the attack.

In response, Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck the launcher used in the attack, in the southern Lebanon town of Marjayoun, along with other Hezbollah infrastructure in the area, the military adds.

The IDF says it also shelled the Odaisseh area with artillery to “remove a threat.”

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
On the night of August 4, Hezbollah struck settlements in Israel's Upper Galilee, firing more than 50 rockets from multiple launch rocket systems. Al Mayadeen reported that air raid sirens sounded in 15 Israeli settlements.

According to the American portal Axios, US and Israeli officials expect Iran to attack the territory of the Jewish state on August 5. Sky News Arabiya, in turn, specifies that Iran may attack Israel on August 12-13.
Good to know.

’s south and center, a barrage of at least five rockets was fired from the southern Gaza Strip, triggering sirens in a number of towns near Ashdod for the first time in months.

Some of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome and some impacted open areas. The IDF said one of the rockets hit the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council.

The Fire and Rescue Service said it was working to put out a fire sparked by a rocket that hit near the southern town of Bitzaron.

There were no injuries in the attack.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the long-range attack.

Also Sunday, the army announced that a recent dronezap in central Gaza’s Nuseirat had killed Ismail Nofal, who participated in Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
’s October 7 onslaught and was reportedly the son of Ayman Nofal, the former commander of Hamas’s Central Gaza Brigade, whom Israel killed in October.

According to the army, the younger Nofal was a Hamas terrorist who participated in the devastating October 7 attack and was also involved in rocket fire on Israel amid the war.

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the congregants were being herded into the paddy wagon...
a group of Hamas members operating out of two schools in Gaza City were struck by Israeli fighter jets on Sunday afternoon, the IDF said.

According to the military, Hamas embedded command and control rooms within the Hassan Salama and Nasr schools in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. The schools were used by the Hamas operatives as a hideout and as a command room where attacks on IDF troops and Israel were planned and carried out, the military said.

To mitigate harm to civilians in the strike, the IDF said it carried out "many steps," including using precision munitions, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.

"The Hamas terror organization systematically violates international law, brutally exploiting civilian institutions and the population as a human shield for terror activity," the military added.

In recent months, dozens of Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s have been carried out against Hamas sites embedded within schools and other sites used as shelters for civilians, according to the IDF.

A separate overnight Israeli strike killed at least five people in a tent area inside the al-Aqsa Hospital compound, in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, the Strip’s Hamas-run health ministry said.

The IDF said it struck a gunman in Deir al-Balah who "conducted terror activities" and that secondary explosions were identified, indicating weapons were present in the area.

Elsewhere in Deir el-Balah, three Paleostinians were killed Sunday when an Israeli missile struck a house, while eight other people were killed inside their home in Jabaliya camp in northern Gaza City and three inside a car in separate Israeli strikes, Rooters reported.

More than 50 other strikes were carried out in Gaza over the past day, targeting cells of button men, buildings used by terror groups, observation posts, and other infrastructure, according to the military.

[IsraelTimes] Following a series of recent rocket attacks on Israel from the southern Gazoo Strip, the Israeli military is calling on Paleostinians in some neighborhoods of Khan Younis to evacuate and head toward the designated "humanitarian zone."

Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man, publishes a list of the zones that need to be evacuated alongside the announcement.

Adraee says that the IDF will "forcefully operate" against terror groups in the Khan Younis area following the rocket attacks.

2024.08.01
[BenarNews] Thai security forces killed three suspected bandidos bad boys in a shootout on Thursday, ending a six-day standoff in the southern province of Pattani, officials said. The incident occurred at a rubber plantation in Khok Pho district where authorities said more suspects could be hiding. A member of the security forces died earlier in the standoff, which began on July 27.

Security personnel, who had received information that the suspected bandidos bad boys were hiding in a forest near the plantation, went to arrest the trio who had outstanding warrants for bad boy activities, said Col. Ekwarit Chobchuphon, front man for ISOC-4, the regional office of the Internal Security Operations Command.
