Deadly Suicide Explosion in Kabul Leaves 6 Dead, 13 Injured
Kabul security command reported that in today's explosion (Monday, September 2) in the Qala-e-Bakhtiar area of the sixth security district of Kabul city, six people were killed and thirteen others were maimed.
Khalid Zadran, the spokesperson for the Kabul security command, said in a statement that the attacker had concealed explosives on their body and detonated them in the Qala-e-Bakhtiar area.
Zadran also mentioned that the injured from this incident were promptly transferred to hospitals, and investigations regarding the matter are ongoing.
So far, no group has grabbed credit for the attack.
The Kabul Police Command reports that today’s explosion in Kabul resulted in the deaths of six civilians, including one woman, and injured 13 others.
Mohammad Khalid Zadran stated in a press release that this afternoon, Monday, September 2, an individual detonated explosives in the Bakhteyar Khail area of the sixth district. As a result, six civilians were killed, and 13 others were wounded.
Meanwhile, witnesses have reported that the explosion in Kabul targeted employees of the Taliban’s Department of Command and Control.
Photos from the scene show at least eight bodies on the ground and the injured have been transferred to a hospital, and investigations into the attack have commenced.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
The increasing frequency of such attacks is contributing to a growing sense of insecurity in Afghanistan. The resurgence of Daesh (ISIS) in the region has intensified the threat of violence, exacerbating the already volatile situation.
The activities of Daesh have escalated, leading to more frequent and severe attacks that undermine stability.
This rise in violence not only affects Kabul but also has broader implications for regional security, prompting concerns about a potential spillover of extremism into neighboring areas.
Authorities 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.

's eastern Gederaf state closed the Gallabat border crossing with Æthiopia on Sunday after the Fano militia seized the nearby Æthiopian town of Metemma, sources told Sudan Tribune.
The Amhara region, which borders Gederaf, has frequently festivities between Fano and government forces since the federal government signed a peace deal with Tigrayan forces in 2020.
The sources said the Sudanese authorities allowed Æthiopian federal police and army personnel to cross into Sudan after they were disarmed. In return, Fano allowed Sudanese stranded at the border to cross into Æthiopia.
Thousands of Sudanese have crossed into Æthiopia through Gallabat since conflict broke out in Sudan in April between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Fano also seized the Æthiopian border crossing at Metemma, aiming to cut off supplies of fuel and food to the Amhara region from Sudan, the sources said.

At least 10 people were killed and more than 40 maimed in air strikes by 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... 's army on the city of Mellit in North Darfur on Monday, a witness said.
The strikes came as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been battling the army since April, launched a wave of arrests in the area, a witness said.
A warplane dropped around 10 bombs on Mellit, eight of which hit the al-Nasr and al-Qubba neighbourhoods and destroyed four houses, the witness added. Two bombs fell in the al-Aish and al-Tawahin market, causing deaths, injuries and extensive damage.
The RSF arrested more than 30 people, including traders and members of an emergency committee, accusing them of collaborating with the army and providing coordinates for the air strikes, the witness added.
Recently, the army carried out regular air attacks on the RSF position in Mellit and several parts of Darfur, as reports speak about preparations by the paramilitary group to attack El Fasher.
Fighting between two RSF factions in Mellit last week killed seven RSF elements after a group from West Darfur state tried to loot the main market and was resisted by local people, the witness said.
The RSF seized Mellit, which lies about 57 km (35 miles) north of the state capital El Fasher, in April.
Mellit is strategically important as it is located on the border of North Darfur with North state, and the al-Dabba-El Fasher road, which the Sudanese government has designated as a route for humanitarian aid to Darfur, passes through it.
It is also a gateway for vehicles coming from Libya and has one of the largest customs points in Darfur.

[IsraelTimes] UK military group says no injuries aboard merchant vessel, which is heading to next port of call, as efforts ongoing to salvage million barrels of crude on still-blazing Sounion
Suspected attacks by 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... ’s 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... rebels targeted two ships in the Red Sea on Monday, authorities said, just north of where crews hope to salvage a tanker loaded with oil and still ablaze after another assault by the group.
Monday’s attacks mark the latest in the Iranian-backed terror group’s campaign that has disrupted the $1 trillion in goods that pass through the Red Sea each year, as well as halted some aid shipments to conflict-ravaged 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... and Yemen.
Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, the spittle had reached unprecedented levels... the efforts to salvage the still-burning Sounion seek to head off the potential ecological disaster posed by its cargo of 1 million barrels of crude oil.
In Monday’s first assault, two projectiles hit the vessel, and a third explosion occurred near the ship, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said.
"Damage control is underway," the UKMTO said. "There are no casualties onboard and the vessel is proceeding to its next port of call."
The timing of the attack and coordinates offered by the UKMTO corresponded to the reported path of the Panama-flagged oil tanker Blue Lagoon I, now traveling south through the Red Sea to an unlisted destination. The Blue Lagoon I was coming from Russia’s port of Ust-Luga on the Baltic Sea and had been broadcasting that it had Russian-origin cargo on board.
In recent months, the Blue Lagoon I traveled to India, which gets more than 40% of its oil imports from Russia despite Moscow’s ongoing war on Ukraine and the international sanctions it faces over it. The Greek-based firm operating the ship could not be immediately reached.
Later Monday morning, the UKMTO reported a second attack off the Houthi-controlled port city of Hodeida. The private security firm Ambrey said an aerial drone hit a merchant ship, though no damage or injuries were reported. The attack happened only a few kilometers (miles) from where the Blue Lagoon I attack occurred, Ambrey said.
The Houthis did not immediately claim responsibility for the attacks. However,
women are made to be loved, not understood... it can take the group hours or even days to acknowledge their assaults.
The Houthis have targeted more than 80 vessels with missiles and drones since Israel’s war on Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... 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... started in October. The group seized one vessel and sank two in the campaign that also killed four sailors. Other missiles and drones have either been intercepted by a United States-led coalition in the Red Sea or failed to reach their targets.
Meanwhile Monday, a salvage effort appeared to be underway to tow away the Sounion oil tanker, which was earlier hit by the Houthis and abandoned by its crew. Jamel Amer, an official with the Houthis, wrote online Saturday that tug boats assigned to pull the Sounion away should arrive Sunday. However,
women are made to be loved, not understood... NASA fire satellites showed a blaze at the site of where the Sounion had been abandoned on Monday morning.
The Sounion was carrying some 1 million barrels of oil when the Houthis initially attacked it on Aug. 21 with small arms fire, projectiles and a drone boat. A French destroyer operating as part of the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... ’s Operation Aspides rescued the Sounion’s crew of 25 Filipinos and Russians, as well as four private security personnel, after they abandoned the vessel and took them to nearby Djibouti.
Last week, the Houthis released footage showing they planted explosives on board the Sounion and blew them up in a propaganda video, something the rebels have done before in their campaign.
[IsraelTimes] Iran-backed Houthi rebels carried out ballistic missile attacks against two crude oil tankers in the Red Sea on Monday morning, US Central Command confirms.
In a statement posted on X, CENTCOM says that the two vessels were identified as the Panama-flagged and owned, Greek-operated MV BLUE LAGOON I and the Saudi-flagged, owned and operated MV AMJAD.
Both crude oil tankers were targeted with “two ballistic missiles and a one-way attack uncrewed aerial system,” CENTCOM states.
It adds that the MV AMJAD was carrying around two million barrels of oil, close to twice the amount that was aboard the Greek-owned tanker that has been on fire in the Red Sea since August 23.

NATO has got to stop futtzing around and really go after the Houthis, and go after Sanaa itself (which is now ruled by Houthis). Especially, go after the Houthi provinces, Amran, Aj Jawf, Marib, and return the Houthis to the 13th Century where they belong.

Brief summary:
In Darmstadt, a 24-year-old Afghan with German citizenship disregards red lights, drives onto the sidewalk at excessive speed and crashes into a car, seriously injuring the driver. The police are investigating a possible terrorist motive and are looking into indications of mental illness.
After his arrest, the 24-year-old driver of the BMW is said to have told police officers that he had acted by order of Allah. WELT learned this from security authorities.
The Afghans' legal ans moral consensus is a vile mental illness by Western standards and the legal and moral consensus of Western civilization is a vile mental illness by mainstream Islamic political standards.
[NYPOST] Up to 7,000 unruly anti-Israeli protesters— including some proudly waving Hamas flags — stormed through the Big Apple on Labor Day, lighting flares and setting off smoke bombs as they marched toward the heart of the city.
The chaotic demonstrators gathered at Union Square in Manhattan in the early afternoon and began their raucous march to Washington Square Park.
Video footage shows NYPD officials attempting to halt the march, only to be shoved aside by a few of the demonstrators.
Blue and red flares filled the air with smoke as the group marched on.
The crowd, which law-enforcement sources said hit around 7,000 at one point, waved Hamas terrorist flags along with Palestinian, Syrian, Iranian and Hezbollah banners, chanting ''Free Palestine!'' and ''Resistance is justified when people are occupied.'' Hezbollah is a Lebanese terror group that has been fighting with the Palestinians against Israel in the Gaza war.
One protester waved a traditional Muslim keffiyeh scarf to block a TV camera, while another called a news crew ''a disgrace'' to the US.
A counter-protester with an Israeli flag was berated by the crowd.
''Throw it away, and put that piece of s—t in the garbage,'' an anti-Israel demonstrator yelled. ''Say it loud, say it clear, we don't want Zionists here!''
Others called the counter-protesters ''baby-killers.''
A New Yorker who pedaled up on a Citi Bike tried to stand up to the anti-Israel mob — only to be booed and cursed out.
''I just think they're wrong,'' the man, who only wanted to be as identified as Bruce, told The Post. ''I think that nobody is pushing back. You gotta push back respectfully. I think they're misinformed.''
Misinformation is not their problem, truly. It’s simply that, like the original Nazis, they enjoy being evil.
Four people were arrested, law-enforcement sources said.
The mass protest is just the latest show of disorder by anti-Israeli marchers since the Jewish state retaliated for the sneak attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 — with protests spreading to college campuses in the city and throughout the nation.
[IsraelTimes] The White House rips into an anti-Israel protest that was held earlier today in New York and included the waving of flags of the Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... terror organization.
Seven thousand people attended the protest, only
four of whom were arrested after clashing with police. A show of farce.
"As President Biden and Vice President Harris have said, there is absolutely no place in America for the poison of antisemitism — none," White House spokesperson Andrew Bates says in a statement to The Times of Israel.
"They and the entire Biden-Harris Administration condemn any individual associating with the repugnant terrorist organization Hamas."
"It is especially heinous to express support for Hamas on the same day as the funeral for an innocent American hostage who they brutally murdered," Bates adds, referring to Hersh Goldberg-Polin whose body was recovered by the IDF over the weekend after his Hamas captors killed him along with five other hostages.
"This is a moment for all Americans to come together and stand against antisemitism and against the sickening hate and evil that Hamas represents," says the White House spokesperson.

Qatar has a $1 trillion war chest to promote the Muslim Brotherhood abroad including in America
Hamas is just one arm of the muslim brotherhood
Qatar funds US universities with hundreds of millions each year, the biggest funder of US universities, some funding undeclared. Yale, Harvard, Georgetown - all on the take
That is why it spreads through academe and student protesters
Attempted abduction, thank goodness. Fifteen members of the Turkish Youth Union (TGB) were arrested for it, according to Rudaw. The sailors were freed and escorted back to their ship. See details here.

The Reason Islam's So Keen on Hating Us
By Raymond Ibrahim
"The fact is, even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam. Even if you were to pay jizyah and live under the authority of Islam in humiliation, we would continue to hate you."
[Rudaw] Fifteen members of a Ottoman Turkish ultranationalist group were arrested on Monday and charged with attacking two US military personnel while at port in the western coastal city of Izmir.
"Fifteen suspects involved in the incident have been detained and taken into custody upon the orders of the on-duty public prosecutor," read a statement from Izmir governorate.
Around 4 pm on Monday, the statement added, a group from the ultranationalist Ottoman TurkishYouth Union (TGB)
…in Turkish Turkiye Genclik Birligi, translated as Turkish Youth Union or Youth Union of Turkey, they’re a fraternity of revolutionary socialist clubs at about 49 Turkish universities — the youth wing of the Kemalist socialist Patriot Party, which is too small to actually win elections. They’re for Ataturk and against America, Israel, NATO, the EU, and Recep Tayip Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party. Also McDonald’s. Their thing is mobbing a few American soldiers/sailors on leave, putting bags on their heads, and announcing the action in support of the Palestinians and in memory of American troops doing the same to Turkish soldiers in Iraq during Gulf War II in 2003….
attacked US service members in civilian clothes in Izmir.
"A judicial investigation has been initiated regarding the matter," the statement said.
Five other US military personnel were nearby, but not did not get involved in the incident, according to the statement.
The US Embassy in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... confirmed the attack on the US service members in a post on X.
The embassy added that the US personnel "were safe" and thanked "Ottoman Turkish authorities for their rapid response and ongoing investigation."
The two service members were aboard the USS Wasp, a multipurpose assault ship anchored in Izmir since Sunday. The crowded area where the attack took place is popular among tourists and locals.
TGB grabbed credit for the attack in a post on X and warned US military members from stepping foot on Ottoman Turkish soil.
"American soldiers, who carry the blood of our soldiers and thousands of Paleostinians on their hands, cannot defile our country," the group said in a post on X that showed footage of the attack.
In the video, a group of people can be seen holding one of the US military members and forcing a plastic bag over their head, as the US soldier can be heard pleading for help. Some of the attackers also chanted: "Yankee, go home!"
Boys will be boys, but a plastic bag turns it into attempted murder.
The ultranationalist said the bag over the head of the US service member is in retaliation for US forces apprehending a group of Ottoman Turkish soldiers for three days and putting hoods over their heads in Sulaimani province in the Kurdistan Region during the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The TGB confirmed that 15 of its members were arrested, including their leader Kayahan Cetin, in a later post on X.
The USS Wasp had conducted joint-training drills with Ottoman Turkish military vessels in the Mediterranean Sea in mid-August. The maneuvers drew waves of criticism in Ottoman Turkish media, depicting the deployment as a part of an operation to support Israel.
The Ottoman Turkish defense ministry described the training at the time as a "routine" activity that did not benefit Israel, nor harm Paleostine.

Why are we sending Navy ships to protect a government engaged in genocide? Did we send ships to help Myanmar genocide the Rohingya? Or to China to help them genocide the Uighurs? Or to South Sudan? Or to Yemen to help the Houthi genocide?

Genocide doesn't mean gas chambers, the Chinese didn't do that with the Uighur, neither the Burmans with the Rohingya and the other examples as well. It's the deliberate destruction of an entire people. And the perps don't get to decide, the rest of the human race does. The International Court of Justice in January found that Israel is plausibly committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. More recently, the ICJ found Israel guilty apartheid and its military occupation and annexation of territory to be illegal. This means that all states, local governments, corporations and institutions must immediately end all forms of complicity in Israeli crimes and violations of international law.

Thor McCoy you just do not know several facts causing your error
1) there is no ethnicity “palestinian” they are just Muslim Arabs same as the ones in Egypt, Jordan and Iraq. Identical ethnicity, culture, language and religion
2) even if Israel forcibly relocated every last muslim from gaza and west bank into jordan and Iraq, and killed every hamas member, it would not be a genocide as a distinct people would not have been destroyed
3) Hamas is just the name for the Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood active all over the world, started in Egypt and backed with a $1 trillion war chest from Qatar with its own Al Jazeera propaganda network
4) the “palestinians“ Are the tiny light dangling from the angler fish. They are bait. For you. That is why Jordan and Egypt won’t take them in, because they are the martyrs to be used in the propaganda war to destroy israel
5) the “palestinian” flag is just the same flag as the pan arab revolt, syrian baath party, transjordania and iraq - because it is an invented ethnicity created in the 1960s by the KGB and Yasser Arafat for PR
6) hamas are genocidal and will not tolerate a jewish state the size of a postage stamp. This is a religious war and they intend to genocide all the jews they say so in their 1988 founding charter. There is no peace deal possible, because of the islamic imperative to take back any land once occupied by muslims belongs to islam forever
7) it is not their land. They are not the aborigines of israel. Jews are not european colonists. The jews have lived there continuously and it was their land first before the romans conquered them, then the muslims conquered the christian romans turning constantinople into istanbul. So the UN created Israel out of british mandate palestine, half of which britain already gave to arab muslims which is now Jordan. The UN created Israel plus another arab muslim state but the greedy muslims wanted it all for themselves and immediately started a war that will never end

They’re little Brown Shirts, Anon1. Revolutionary Communist nationalist Turks, ie. fascists. We pay attention because they attack American military men, but they attack others who they don’t want allowed to walk freely in the streets as well. The only difference between them and the jihadis is that for them the religion is Communism and for the other the religion is Islam. Otherwise they are equally vicious Blood & Soil fanatics.
[Rudaw] Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) on Saturday announced the arrest of an alleged "prominent" leader in the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

A force from the PMF "was able to overthrow a prominent leader in the remnants of the terrorist ISIS in the province of Baghdad," it said in a statement, identifying the suspect by the initials "A.B.R."
He is accused of assisting another ISIS official in southern Baghdad and has been referred to court for legal procedures, the statement added.

Mustafa Mahmoud Ahmed, head of the general hospital in al-Baaj, told Rudaw the incident took place around 10:30 am in a village in Baaj, a district in the Iraqi province of Nineveh.
"The house has been abandoned for several years; its owner left the area, and the family recently rented it to work there. This morning, while cleaning the garden, a remnant ISIS bomb went kaboom! in one of the rooms, killing four members of the family, aged between 5 and 15," Ahmed said.
A source from the hospital in Baaj told Rudaw the family consists of 12 people, four of the children are dead and one is severely injured. More family members are believed to be under the house's rubble - their fate is unknown.

[IsraelTimes] Military shifts focus to Jenin, where troops rip up roads to find bombs, work to establish ‘operational control’; army says 14 gunmen killed, over 25 suspects detained.
Troops have been operating in Jenin, considered by Israel to be one of the West Bank’s major terror hotspots, since early Wednesday, making it the longest operation in the territory in over 20 years.
The operation — internally dubbed "Summer Camps" by the army — began with simultaneous raids on Jenin, Tulkarem, and the Far’a camp near Tubas, with the goal of dismantling Iran-backed Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... terror networks in the three areas of the northern West Bank.
But the scale of the ongoing raid, as well as its stated goals, are far from what the Israel Defense Forces carried out in 2002’s month-long Operation Defense Shield during the Second Intifada.
So far, according to the IDF, more than 30 button men have been killed in the operation, among them the head of Hamas in Jenin and the head of Islamic Jihad in the Tulkarem area.
One Israeli soldier was killed in Jenin, and several more troops have been maimed in the raids.
The raids in Tulkarem and Far’a have since concluded. However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... troops are pressing on with operations in Jenin, where early Monday, a dronezap was carried out against a group of Paleostinians who were hurling explosives at troops.
In Jenin alone, 14 terror operatives have been killed in festivities and four dronezaps; 25 wanted Paleostinians have been detained; some 20 weapons have been seized; and more than 30 bombs have been neutralized, the military said Monday evening.
Just hours after Monday morning’s dronezap, news hounds were given an escorted visit by the Israeli army to Jenin and the city’s refugee camp, where troops since Wednesday have been battling button men, locating weapon manufacturing labs, and ripping up roads to uncover bombs.
Senior IDF officials have said that the operations in Jenin are primarily aimed at giving the military "operational freedom" to be able to act there in the future to thwart terror attacks. This was also the stated goal of the last major operation in Jenin, more than a year ago.
By eroding the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror networks in the area, IDF officials said, the army would be able to more easily carry out arrests of wanted Paleostinians in Jenin and foil major terror attacks that are being planned from the area, using fewer forces and facing less-fierce resistance by local button men.
The IDF has been working to kill the leaders and operatives of the terror networks, as well as demolishing their bomb labs, though with the knowledge that the commanders and button men will likely be replaced and new explosive manufacturing sites established, though not immediately.
Still, military officials said that a balance needs to be found between the intensity of the operations and the repercussions of such raids, as Israel cannot afford to turn the West Bank into its primary front amid the ongoing fighting against Hamas 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... and heightened tensions on the northern border.
Israel also lacks the international legitimacy to carry out anything more major in the West Bank, such as staying in Jenin for extended periods of time, IDF officials noted.
The military believes that it can continue to operate at this pace in Jenin and other parts of the West Bank, with near-nightly arrest raids and major operations every few weeks or months, to thwart the attempts by Hamas and Islamic Jihad to grow, thus preventing major terror attacks on Israeli targets.
SCANNING FOR BOMBS, ESTABLISHING CONTROL
In Jenin’s refugee camp on Monday, the usually bustling streets were almost completely empty, and heavily damaged.
Some civilians, including municipal workers fixing up damaged infrastructure and local journalists, were walking about amid the army’s operations.
According to the IDF’s estimates, some 85 percent of the population had moved out of the camp during the raid, largely heading into the city itself. The IDF has allowed Paleostinian civilians to leave the area safely, although it has not issued any evacuation orders.
Many, but not all, of the roads in the camp were ripped up by IDF armored bulldozers, as combat engineers searched for and neutralized dozens of bombs planted under and on the side of the streets by local terror operatives.
Maj. Ron — whose last name was withheld due to security concerns — the chief combat engineer in the IDF’s Menashe Regional Brigade, told news hounds that "the bomb threat ramped up in the past year in the northern [West Bank] area, especially in Jenin."
"The bomb threat is developing, the enemy understands that this is its deadly weapon," the officer said, referring to three deadly roadside kabooms in the northern West Bank in recent months.
"[The enemy] tries to attack our forces on the roads, and our response to that is using the engineering vehicles, the bulldozers, backhoes, which allow us to open up the roads for the forces to reach their objectives," he said.
Chief Superintendent Zacky Tafesh, a senior Border Police officer who has been participating in the ongoing operation, said he had not seen this many bombs during a West Bank operation before.
"There are many bombs here. We haven’t encountered something like this in a long time. We are constantly encountering bombs. But with our experience we know how to deal with it very well," he said.
Asked if ripping up the roads is counterproductive, as it makes it harder for the IDF to locate new bombs planted along a damaged route in the future, Ron, the engineering officer, said "it’s a dilemma" but the goal is "to make sure that our troops aren’t harmed."
"We don’t do anything without thinking first. We don’t strike every area and leave behind total destruction. The engineering operation is not independent. It comes with intelligence," Ron said.
The officers noted that the IDF has not encountered any "game-changing" weapons in Jenin amid the operation so far, such as RPGs or more "high quality" bombs, but they said that they are aware of the possibility.
The engineering officer said, "Our goal in the end is to establish operational control in this area, and not allow them to develop and become stronger. We are here to establish operational control and kill as many button men as possible, which will let the IDF operate accordingly, with more freedom of action."
Tafesh also told news hounds that the goal of the operation, ultimately, is to secure "operational freedom" for future tasks.
"[It’s to] prevent bully boyz from coming from here and carrying out [attacks] on the home front. What we are required to do, as part of the mission, is to contain it all here. Carry out arrests, bring attackers to justice or kill them, and thwart terror attacks in Judea and Samaria, and within the country," he said.
"[The operation] is very significant. As long as the [terror] doesn’t leak out, and we foil it here, that’s an achievement for us. As long as there are no attacks on civilians or soldiers, this is an achievement for us. The required achievement is to foil the attacks before they are carried out," Tafesh added.
Hamas has released a video on Telegram on Monday showing the six recently slain hostages speaking into a camera, while also announcing that it will release their “last message to the world” before they were killed.
In the video, all six hostages whose bodies were found by the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] on Sunday are seen confirming their identities before cutting to a still frame threatening to release their “last messages.”
The video ends with a threat to release the message in the coming hours
.
As Breitbart News noted, the six hostages were murdered in cold blood before they could be rescued by Israeli soldiers. They included American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and IDF Master Sergeant Ori Danino. All six were executed by being shot in the head.
The family of one hostage, Eden Yerushalmi, approved the release of a portion of the video in which she talks about how she loves her family.

Hamas are in America, it is just the name used by the apakestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood
They are more dangerous when they are peaceful, hard-working migrants having lots of children
Because then they infiltrate media, academia, politics, think tanks, science snd always working towards the advancement of Islam at the expense of the non-Muslims
Their ultimate goal is to wipe you out and replace your culture with Islam under Sharia in the global caliphate
These are globalists

This is a very sad situation, IMhO Israel should have given up the hostages for lost on October 8 and immediately set about rounding up all the Arab Muslims of Gaza and shipping or driving them into Egypt and Joedan (which is palestine)
Just get all of them out of west bank and gaza never to return and flood the tunnels
It should all have been finished nobody left there within 2 months max. Let only christians, jews and atheists back no muslims

No sooner had Bibi announced that they were going to war against Gaza until Hamas was eradicated, Anon1, than the entire noisy part of the world reared up on their hind legs and ordered Israel to go slowly and gently with care for the innocent civilians, to take breaks in the action, to avoid schools, offices, UNWRA buildings, news people, government officials, etc…
Had Israel not been micromanaged, especially by President Biden and his team, they would indeed have been done in three months. And if Egypt had not resolutely resolved to be actively unhelpful, most of Gaza’s residents would have moved from “refugee camps” in Gaza to refugee camps in the Egyptian Sinai.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it carried out a dronezap against a group of Paleostinian button men who shot up troops, during an operation in the West Bank city of Tulkarem a short while ago.
[IsraelTimes] Palestinian media report an Israeli drone strike on a building in the West Bank’s Tulkarem refugee camp.
The report adds that four people were lightly injured in the alleged strike, which it says took place in Tulkarem’s Al-Hamam neighborhood. One of the injured is said to be a paramedic with the Palestinian Red Crescent.
A number of Palestinians were detained in clashes with the IDF elsewhere in Tulkarem, the report adds.
Earlier on Monday night, the IDF said it carried out a drone strike against a group of Palestinian gunmen who opened fire at troops in the city of Tulkarem.
[IsraelTimes] Police say tinted windows on suspicious vehicle near Ateret made explosives hard to see, days after two car bombs exploded in southern West Bank
An abandoned car laden with explosives was neutralized by security forces at the entrance to a West Bank settlement on Monday, authorities said.
The attempted attack occurred with Israeli security officials in the West Bank and elsewhere on high alert following a twin car-kaboom Friday night, with the Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... terror group urging more such blasts.
Troops taking part in a routine patrol in the area were scrambled to the entrance of the Ateret settlement in the central West Bank Monday morning after the army received a report of a suspicious-looking vehicle near the community, the IDF spokesperson said.
Military forces initially had trouble determining what was inside the vehicle due to its tinted windows, according to a statement from the Israel Police. A Border Police bomb disposal unit called to the scene identified it as a boom-mobile before "neutralizing the vehicle," police said.
According to the Binyamin Regional Council, where Ateret is located, the car contained two gas canisters that were connected to a detonation mechanism, which was neutralized by the bomb disposal unit.
Israel Ganz, the chairman of the Yesha settlement council, called the thwarted attack "a huge miracle." He called on security forces to carry out a large-scale operation in the region, which covers a wide swath of the West Bank around Ramallah, and to "raze the terror infrastructure to the ground."
Army Radio reported later on Monday afternoon that the bombs were taken to a nearby hill and went kaboom!. Ateret’s residents, who had been told not to go out, were subsequently told it was safe to leave the settlement.
On Sunday, three Israeli coppers were rubbed out by a Paleostinian gunman near the Paleostinian city of Tarqumiyah.
Two days before that, two boom-mobiles went kaboom! near settlements in the southern West Bank, moderately wounding an IDF soldier and lightly wounding two others. Hamas took responsibility for the dual boom-mobileing attack Monday and said that the two terrorists, who were killed by troops at the scene, were members of the group. Both were from Hebron.
In a speech in Istanbul last week, former Hamas head Khaled Mashaal called for the resumption of suicide kabooms, according to reports in Arabic media.
[IsraelTimes] Attack in Gush Etzion on Friday came amid major counter-terror operation in territory, following attempted suicide bombing in Tel Aviv that Hamas also claimed
The Hamas terror group claimed responsibility on Monday for twin car bombing in the southern West Bank days earlier, on the heels of a call from a top official in the terror group to resume suicide bombings.
In a statement, Hamas’s military wing took “full responsibility” for the attack, which consisted of a pair of coordinated bombings.
The two terrorists responsible — identified as Hebron residents Muhammad Marqa and Zahdi Afifa, both killed by troops at the scene — were members of the group, Hamas said.
In the first incident, a car exploded at a gas station near the junction, after which troops shot the terrorist inside the vehicle.
In the second incident, which occurred about 20 minutes later, a terrorist breached the nearby Karmei Tzur settlement before being shot dead, after which the car he had been in exploded inside the community.
At the gas station, a soldier was moderately wounded and a reservist officer who is the head of a local security team was lightly hurt, likely as a result of friendly fire. The two were taken to a hospital.
[IsraelTimes] Source says 1 of those killed worked for cleaning company under UNIFIL contract; IDF also strikes Hezbollah buildings in south Lebanon towns; terror group fires 5 rockets at Israel
Two people were killed on Monday in an Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... on a vehicle 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... , according to the country’s health ministry, after the IDF said it had carried out overnight strikes on a number of Hezbollah buildings.
Hours later, five rockets were fired from Lebanon toward Israel, setting off sirens in a number of communities.
"The Israeli enemy’s strike targeting a car in Naqura left two dead," the Lebanese health ministry said, without specifying whether they were combatants.
A Lebanese security source told AFP that the car belonged to "a cleaning company" that was under contract with UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping force that patrols along the border.
The two victims were "an employee of this company and his cousin, both from Naqura," a town along Lebanon’s border with Israel, according to the source. "The cousin, who lives in an African country, arrived in Lebanon two days ago."
There was no immediate comment on the strike from the IDF. The military said earlier, however, that it had struck a number of buildings used by Hezbollah in five different areas of southern Lebanon overnight.
The strikes were carried out in Yaroun, Ayta ash-Shab, Hanine, Tayr Harfa, and Blida, according to the military, which published footage of the strikes.
Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella opened her mouth at precisely the wrong moment... a number of air raid sirens rang out in Israeli communities near the border on Monday afternoon, including in Ein Ya’akov near near Ma’alot-Tarshiha, as well as Shomera, closer to the border.
A rocket impact was identified near Ein Ya’akov, though no injuries were reported and there was no immediate word of damage. Hebrew media reports said five rockets were fired at Israel in the volley.
