Satkhira ex-chairman shoots 3 dead, mob lynches him, associates
[Dhaka Tribune] At least 10 people have been killed in attacks and violence in Satkhira following news of the loathesome Sheikh Hasina
...Bangla dynastic politician and now exiled former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia showed such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums. That is probably because Khaleda's late husband was the Pak tool who had Mujib assassinated...
's resignation from the post of prime minister and her departure from the country.

The houses and business establishments of several Awami League leaders and activists were vandalized and looted.

Police also reported arson and looting at Satkhira Sadar and Shyamnagar cop shoppes.

Pratapnagar Union Gay Pareehad Chairman Abu Daud said thousands of people of his union attacked Awami League leader Zakir Hossain's Kalyanpur house around 6pm on Monday.

At that time, Zakir took out his gun and shot three people -- Adam Ali, Anaj Billah and Alam Hossain. They went titzup. Around 10-12 people were maimed.

At around 8pm, the mob barged into Zakir's house and hacked him and his associates Shaker Ali, Jahangir Alam, Sajib Hossain and Ashiqok and Alamgir Hossain to death.

Meanwhile,
...back at the cheese factory, there was only one thought in the mouse's mind: I can do this! I can do this! Then the trap sprung...
Asafur Rahman, son of Rafel Sardar of Baikari village in Satkhira Sadar upazila, was hacked to death by a mob.

The Freedom Fighters Complex was set on fire on Monday afternoon. Several shops including the complex were gutted.

Thousands of BNP, Jamaat activists granted bail
[Dhaka Tribune] A Dhaka court has granted bail to over 1,000 BNP-Jamaat leaders and activists including BNP Standing Committee member and former minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury in the case of sabotage in the name of quota reform movement.

The bail application was made in the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Court on Tuesday.

After the hearing, the judge granted them bail.
Two words spring to mind, In the original Gobbledegook we'd say "stuckin foopid," but I won't translate. They've solved half their problem, and now they're letting the other half take charge. If they had any sense as a nation, they'd leave the Pak stooges in jail and enjoy a period of (relative) peace. But they keep doing the same things, over and over, expecting different results. I guess we can expect the return of the Purbo Bangla Commies and the re-rise of RAB.
Long Live The RAB! Break out the Shuttergun!

has been relocated to a secure location in India amid uncertainties about her planned travel to London, sources familiar with the matter have said.

Hasina had been moved to an undisclosed location under heavy security, the Press Trust of India quoted the sources as saying on Tuesday. She had arrived at Hindon airbase on Monday aboard a C-130J military transport aircraft shortly after resigning as prime minister.

Hasina intended to seek temporary refuge in London. However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
the plan was currently on hold following indications from the UK government that she might not receive legal protection against potential investigations into recent violent mostly peaceful protests in Bangladesh, the sources added.

Hasina resigned as prime minister on Monday afternoon amid nationwide protests, subsequently fleeing the country.

Later that day, Chief of Army Staff General Waker-Uz-Zaman addressed the nation, announcing that an interim government would soon be established.

Reports have since emerged of several ministers and senior Awami League leaders also fleeing the country.

Government Corruption
Woman arrested in DC for threatening President Trump. She was found carrying a gun and magazine.
[X]

A San Antonio, Texas woman, Christina Montoya, was arrested in Washington, DC on Friday for allegedly threatening former President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
. This incident follows an liquidation attempt on Trump during his July 13 rally.

Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers apprehended Montoya after receiving a tip that she had traveled to the capital. She was found with an unlicensed firearm and a magazine, KENS 5 reported. Trump, however, was in the Hamptons meeting with donors on the day of the arrest.

The specifics of the threats Montoya allegedly made remain unclear, but the police report lists an "offense start date" of July 20, 2024. Montoya was arrested less than a mile from Capitol Hill and about three miles from the White House.

Montoya faces charges of possessing an unregistered firearm, carrying a pistol without a license, and making threats against a former president. Trump is listed as a victim in the threats charge, according to KENS 5.
Fox News adds:
Police were first notified about her by the Secret Service, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
How clever of the Secret Service to get this one caught ahead of time.

Iraq
Rockets fired at Iraq's Ain al-Asad airbase housing US forces, security sources say
[JPost] It was not clear if the attack caused any casualties or damage inside the base, the sources said.

Two Katyusha rockets were fired at Iraq's Ain al-Asad air base on Monday, which hosts US and other international forces in western Iraq, security sources said.

Three US officials confirmed several personnel injuries were caused by the rockets.

This report comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East, as several sources believe that Iran may attack Israel as early as Monday in retaliation to recent assassinations widely attributed to Israel.

US forces have previously been targeted in the region, including three US service members killed and at least 25 wounded in a drone attack on an output in Jordan near the Syrian border in January.

7 IDF reservists wounded, 4 of them seriously, in blast in southern Gaza
[IsraelTimes] Truck driver lightly hurt as barrage of 15 rockets fired from Gaza at south; IDF kills Hamas economy minister in airstrike; bodies of 80 Palestinians said returned to Strip

Seven reservists were maimed, including four seriously, during fighting in the southern 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...
Strip on Monday morning, the Israel Defense Forces said. The troops, of the 205th "Iron Fist" Reserve Armored Brigade’s 9215th Battalion, were taken to a hospital in Israel for treatment.

According to an initial probe, the troops were maimed by an bomb or grenade hurled at them by a Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
operative. Four of the reservists were seriously maimed, two were listed in moderate condition, and one was lightly injured.

Also on Monday morning, an Israeli truck driver was lightly injured by a rocket impact near Kibbutz Re’ím, as snuffies in the Gaza Strip launched a barrage at southern Israel. The barrage of some 15 rockets fired from the Khan Younis area in southern Gaza was the latest in a series of attacks, bringing the total number of rockets fired at Israel from the Strip since Friday to around 40. According to the Israel Defense Forces, several of the 15 rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome, but others impacted the Re’im and Gama Junction area.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service said it was taking a man aged 37, a truck driver, to a hospital in good condition after he was hurt by a rocket impact near Re’im.

On Sunday, following the repeated rocket attacks on Israel from Khan Younis, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the area, saying that it would "forcefully operate" against terror groups there.

IDF: KEY HAMAS BATTALION COMMANDER KILLED IN STRIKE ON GAZA SCHOOL
The commander of Hamas’s Sheikh Radwan Battalion, known in the IDF as the al-Furqan Battalion, was killed in an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
in the Gaza Strip, the military announced on Monday.

Jaber Aziz, the commander of the battalion which is part of Hamas’s Gaza City Brigade, was killed in an airstrike against a school in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood a day earlier, the IDF said.

The IDF said on Sunday that it struck two Hamas command and control rooms embedded within the Hassan Salama and Nasr schools in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan.

Citing intelligence information, the IDF said Aziz was killed in the strike on the Hassan Salama school, alongside other operatives. Aziz had served in the role of commander of the Sheikh Radwan Battalion since 2020, after previously serving as the deputy commander of the battalion. He also previously headed the Zeitoun Battalion, according to the IDF.

The IDF said he took a "significant part" in planning the October 7 onslaught, leading the preparations and training in his battalion. Aziz himself participated in raiding Israeli communities on October 7, according to the IDF.

During the war, Aziz directed numerous attacks against Israeli troops in Gaza, and against Israeli civilians, and the IDF said his killing was a "significant blow" to Hamas’s capabilities.

HAMAS ECONOMY MINISTER KILLED IN STRIKE
Also on Monday, the IDF said it had killed Hamas’s economy minister in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip a day earlier.

According to the IDF, Abd al-Fattah al-Zari’i also served as an operative in Hamas’s manufacturing division. The IDF said the manufacturing division works to "increase Hamas’s weapons capabilities, including by exchanging information with other terror organizations across the Middle East."

Al-Zari’i, according to the IDF, also played a "significant role in directing Hamas’s efforts to seize control of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip" as well as managing Hamas-controlled markets. Additionally, he was responsible for the distribution of fuel, gas, and funds for "terror activities," the military added.
A man of many talents…
Paleostinian media reported that the strike killed al-Zari’i took place in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah, and his mother was also killed in the attack.

80 BODIES SAID RETURNED TO GAZA
“Never mind!”
Paleostinian media outlets on Monday morning reported that more than 80 bodies were returned by Israeli authorities to the Gaza Strip.

Amid the war in Gaza, the IDF has taken for identification bodies suspected of being those of hostages, returning them after confirming they do not belong to any captives that were kidnapped by Hamas on October 7.

At least 39 of the remaining 111 hostages taken by Hamas on October 7 have been confirmed dead.

’s Mays al-Jabal.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, several drones from Lebanon were spotted crossing into Israel at around 2 a.m. Interceptor missiles were launched at the drones, although the military did not elaborate if any were shot down.

One of the explosive-laden drones struck near Kibbutz Ayelet HaShahar, located about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the Lebanon border, injuring an IDF soldier and an officer, the military said. They were taken to a hospital in moderate condition, after sustaining shrapnel injuries, medics said.

The impact also sparked a small fire in the area.

Hezbollah grabbed credit for the attack, saying it launched a swarm of explosive drones at an Israeli military base in response to earlier IDF attacks in southern Lebanon.

Another explosive-laden drone launched by Hezbollah struck an area near the border community of Malkia, the IDF said. The terror group also grabbed credit for that attack.

Also overnight, the IDF said it carried out airstrikes against a Hezbollah weapons depot and other infrastructure in Kafr Kila in southern Lebanon, and troops shelled areas near Chebaa and Rachaya al-Foukhar with artillery.

Meanwhile,

on Monday morning, Lebanese media reported that two people were killed in an Israeli dronezap in Mays al-Jabal in southern Lebanon. The IDF later confirmed carrying out the strike, saying it targeted and killed a cell of Hezbollah operatives flying a drone over Mays al-Jabal. A short while after they were spotted, an Israeli Air Force drone struck and killed them. Following the strike, Hezbollah on its Telegram channel announced the deaths of Ali Shuqair, a member of the terror group, and Muhammad Hammadi, a paramedic who was a member of the Islamic Message Scouts Association, a Shiite scouts group associated with the Lebanese terror organization. Both were from Mays al-Jabal.

The IDF did not immediately comment on the strike.

In a separate incident on Monday morning, an interceptor missile was launched at a suspected drone that crossed into Israel from Lebanon in the Western Galilee. The IDF said the incident was "over," without elaborating, adding that sirens sounded in the area out of fear of falling shrapnel from the interceptor.

Another two suspected drones from Lebanon were shot down by air defenses later on Monday, the IDF said, one over the Metula area and the other over the sea near Nahariya.

A barrage of around five rockets was also fired from Lebanon at the Kiryat Shmona area on Monday morning. According to the IDF, all of the rockets were shot down by air defenses. There were no injuries in the attack.

On Sunday, two Hezbollah operatives were killed in Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon. In one incident, the IDF said a Hezbollah operative was identified by troops of the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit entering a weapons depot in southern Lebanon’s Houla, and a short while later, a fighter jet airstrike was carried out. In the second incident, a Hezbollah operative spotted in the Beit Lif area was killed in a dronezap, the IDF said.

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

IDF DRILL SIMULATES FIGHTING IN LEBANON
Also on Sunday, the IDF announced that troops of the IDF’s Kfir Brigade carried out a drill simulating fighting in Lebanon, which the military said was part of its efforts to increase readiness for war amid heightened tensions on the northern border. The drill was the latest in a series carried out by the IDF for a potential war in Lebanon, but the first by a standing army brigade. Reserve units conducted all the previous drills.

’s October 7 atrocities and has warned that should a diplomatic solution not be reached, it will turn to military action to push Hezbollah northward.

Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis. So far, the skirmishes have resulted in 25 civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 18 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.

Hezbollah has named 392 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 70 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and dozens of civilians have been killed.

UNRWA: Nine Members Might Have Participated in October 7 Attack on Israel
[LegalInsurrection] The United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine (UNRWA) revealed an investigation found that nine staff members might have participated in the massacre and attack on Israel on October 7.

"For nine people, the evidence was sufficient to conclude that they may have been involved in the seventh of October attacks," said Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq.

Israel previously named 100 UNRWA employees doubling as Gazoo

terrorists.

But I guess only 19 made the list for the organization.

"I acknowledge the completion of the investigation by the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) into the serious allegations that 19 area UNRWA staff members in Gaza were involved in the abhorrent attacks of 7 October on southern Israel," wrote Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General.

Lazzarini said nine cases had no evidence against the staffers.

One case showed no evidence against the staffer, who has since rejoined UNWRA.

But the other nine cases "the evidence — if authenticated and corroborated — could indicate that the UNRWA staff members may have been involved in the attacks of 7 October."

"I have decided that in the case of these remaining nine staff members, they cannot work for UNRWA," wrote Lazzarini in the press statement. "All contracts of these staff members will be terminated in the interest of the Agency."

Who knows when UNWRA will take action against the nine staffers?

In January, the U.S. and other Western countries halted UNRWA funding due tot he accusations

At the time, Shin Bet, an Israeli intelligence community, gave UNRWA and the UN information that showed UNWRA employees participated and used "the agency’s vehicles and facilities during the Oct. 7 Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
attack."

An Israeli official said, "This was strong and corroborated intelligence. A lot of the intelligence is a result of interrogations of Death Eaters who were arrested during the Oct. 7 attack."

#1  Only nine? I head somewhere (here most likely) that it was 12, then 22 then some other numbers.

Personally, I think it's the entire UNRWA that's involved.

#3  probably only 9 were obviously in the happy bragging videos sent by the terrorists to their families when they were slaughtering civilians

IDF has identified many more (I think over 100) based on testimony by captured terrorists. And of course there were many more who provided logistics or other help to the active Hamas units doing the terror work.

Hezbollah launches volley of drone attacks on Israel, vows revenge is still yet to come
[NYPOST] Lebanese bad boy group Hezbollah unleashed a slew of drone and rocket attacks on Israel Tuesday — but warned the brunt of its Dire Revenge for Israel’s liquidation of a top commander last week was still yet to come.

Two military sites near Acre in northern Israel and an Israeli military vehicle in another location were among the spots targeted in the latest attack, the gang said.

The Israeli military confirmed a number of hostile drones had been identified crossing over from Leb

and at least one was intercepted.
