[ShabelleMedia] The Somali National Army (SNA), in collaboration with local forces, has successfully eliminated four holy warriors from al-Shabaab ... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all ofwhich have enough problems without them... during a targeted operation in Camaara, Mudug region, military sources reported on January 12, 2025.
The operation was meticulously planned and executed, targeting a residence occupied by Ismaaciil Beerdile, identified as a big shot of al-Shabaab responsible for its so-called "court" in the Galgaduud region.
Security forces seized four rifles and a substantial cache of ammunition during the raid. Additional casualties were reported among the murderous Moslems, though exact numbers remain undisclosed.
Military officials stated that the operation has dealt a significant blow to al-Shabaab’s activities in the area. "This operation underscores the effectiveness of our joint efforts with local forces," said a high-ranking military officer, emphasizing the need for continued collaboration to maintain security and stability in the region.
The raid in Camaara is part of ongoing efforts by Somali forces to dismantle al-Shabaab’s networks and reduce their influence in central Somalia.
[Garowe] Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... 's security forces have delivered a severe blow to ISIS activities in Somalia, obliterating five command bases of the bully boy group in the al-Miskaat mountains, officials reported on Saturday.
The ongoing operation is being conducted without the support of the Somali federal government, highlighting Puntland's self-reliant approach to combating terrorism.
The offensive involved the incineration of ISIS fortifications in the Il-Cameyra region to prevent their reoccupation. A key achievement in this operation was the recapture of a vital water well, previously controlled by the hard boys, which was critical for their operational sustainability.
Additionally, Puntland's forces successfully downed three ISIS drones over the Cal-Miskaat mountains. These drones, equipped with explosives and engaged in reconnaissance, posed a significant threat to both military and civilian lives.
The Puntland government declared the successful seizure of these strategic points, underscoring their determination to fight terrorism.
The latest combat victory not only hampers ISIS's logistical and operational capabilities but also showcases Puntland's commitment to regional security without reliance on external assistance.
[MSN] The Nigerian military said on Wednesday its troops had killed 34 Islamist snuffies in a shootout in northeastern Borno state and six soldiers had also died.
The clash took place on Saturday in Sabon Gari village when the snuffies ambushed troops returning to a military base, military front man Major-General Edward Buba said.
The snuffies belonged to the Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... and 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. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... West Africa Province (ISWAP) groups, he said. They were riding on cycle of violences and trucks mounted with guns.
The troops, along with reinforcements from the Civilian Joint Taskforce militia and vigilante groups, successfully repelled the attack, he said.
Nigeria has been grappling with a 16-year-long Islamist insurgency in its northeast driven primarily by Boko Haram and its offshoot ISWAP that has led to huge human and economic losses, including mass displacement and a humanitarian crisis.
Buba said six soldier were killed in the action while an improvised bomb (IED) injured the vigilante commander. The Nigerian Air Force also carried out Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on the fleeing Death Eaters, resulting in further casualties in addition to the 34 killed in the shootout, Buba said.

[NEWARAB] Kuwaiti media personality Fajr al-Saeed has reportedly been detained for 21 days pending trial after publicly advocating for normalising relations with Israel, according to Arabic media reports on Wednesday.
Nouveau riche Kuwaitis have to be more pure and hateful than anyone else. Their female news readers are supposed to argue for husbands getting war booty concubines upon which to relieve their urges, not cozy up to that uppity Zionist entity.
The Ministry of Interior filed a formal complaint against al-Saeed, accusing her of violating Kuwait's Unified Law for Boycotting Israel, which criminalises any dealings with or calls for normalisation with Israel.
Al-Saeed is set to appear before a detention renewal judge in the coming days, where her release on bail may be considered.
Legal proceedings are expected to continue in the coming weeks. The New Arab has approached Kuwait's Ministry of Interior for comment.
Al-Saeed sparked controversy nationwide for her outspoken support for normalising ties with Israel, which included a 2019 interview on Israeli television and subsequent tweets advocating for such relations.
In her interview with Israel's Kan public broadcaster, she defended her views, stating: "I didn't suddenly establish normalisation. It's not like I arrived at Ben Gurion Airport, entered Israel, and declared, 'Let's normalise relations.' I expressed a wish and a hope. You can take it or leave it, but it's my personal opinion."
[IsraelTimes] Demonstrators throw Molotov cocktails, fireworks at synagogue, spray ‘Justice free Gaza’ on wall near Ramy Elgaml’s name
A synagogue in the Italian city of Bologna was attacked and vandalized on Saturday night amid massive protests following the death of a young Egyptian-Italian man during a police car chase in November, according to a Ynet report on Sunday.
November. Why riot and attack the synagogue now?
Ramy Elgaml, the 19-year-old son of Egyptian immigrants colonists to Italia, was killed in November, when riding on the back of a moped with his friend. Police pulled the two over, demanding to see their licenses, but Elgaml’s friend, Fares Bouzidi, took off, in an attempt to escape, sparking a car chase with the two coppers, the report said.
The eight-kilometer (nearly five-mile) police chase ended when the moped crashed into a pole, killing Elgaml instantly.
The incident sparked protests among anti-racist and immigrant groups across Italia that died down within a few days, according to Euro News, but they were rekindled last week, after footage from the chase appeared to show that the coppers hit the moped with their car, causing it to crash into the pole.
The footage sparked renewed protests on Saturday in Rome, Milan, Brescia, and Bologna. Amid the massive demonstrations, the synagogue in Bologna was attacked and the words "Justice free 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 a rusty 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... " were sprayed onto the wall alongside Elgaml’s name.
Protesters also injured at least 18 coppers and caused heavy damage to shop windows, Euro News reported.
Ynet quoted the president of Bologna’s Jewish community, Daniele De Paz, on Sunday saying that the synagogue was a deliberate target for the protesters, who he said had broken through police barricades and made their way to the synagogue before hurling Molotov cocktails, explosives, and fireworks at it, while shouting threats and curses.
While no culprits were identified as of Sunday, Ynet reported that members of pro-Paleostinian groups were among the demonstrators.
Israel’s Ambassador to Italia Jonathan Peled expressed his solidarity with the Bologna Jewish community in a post on X on Sunday, saying the attack on the synagogue was "a serious antisemitic attack which must be condemned with absolute firmness."
It’s a start. Not an effective one, but better than nothing at all.
In a Facebook post on Sunday morning, Bologna’s mayor, Matteo Lepore, also expressed his "solidarity with the Jewish community" for the "acts of vandalism and threats against the Bologna Synagogue."
The president of the Italian Senate, Ignazio La Russa, noted the damage done to the synagogue in a Facebook post on Sunday and wrote that "no justification [and] no tolerance is admissible for these episodes."
In a statement issued to the Agi news agency through their lawyer on Sunday, Elgaml’s family condemned the violence perpetrated in their son’s name.
While the statement did not explicitly mention the synagogue, it did say they "strongly condemn all forms of violence and vandalism that have occurred in the demonstrations."
"We believe Ramy’s memory should be a symbol of unity, not of division or destruction. We dissociate ourselves from any political use of our son’s name," they said.
[GEO.TV] Security forces killed nine murderous Moslems and arrested two others in two separate engagements in Dosalli and Esham areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's North Wazoo district, Inter-Services Public Relations said on Sunday.
The intelligence-based operations (IBOs) were conducted by the security forces on January 11 on the reported presence of murderous Moslems in the areas.
The first IBO was conducted in the tribal district's general area Dosalli in which troops effectively engaged the terrorists' location and resultantly, six bad boyz were potted and two others were apprehended.
Subsequently, three murderous Moslems were neutralised by security forces after an intense fire exchange in the Esham area. Two murderous Moslems were also maimed in the gunbattle, the military's media wing said.
It added that weapons and ammunition were also recovered from killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against the security forces as well as murder of innocent civilians.
"Sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other kharji [terrorists] found in the area, as security forces of Pakistain are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country," it concluded.
The nation has been reeling under rising violent mostly peaceful attacks since the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... rulers returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021, particularly in the bordering provinces of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... The year 2024 turned out to be the deadliest for Pakistain's civil and military security forces in a decade with at least 685 fatalities and 444 terror attacks, according to ''CRSS Annual Security Report 2024'' issued by the Centre for Security and Strategic Studies.
Equally alarming were the cumulative losses of civilians and security personnel, i.e., 1,612 fatalities, accounting for over 63% of the total recorded this year, marking 73% more losses compared to 934 outlaws eliminated, The News reported citing CRSS report.
The overall fatalities recorded the previous year were a record 9-year high and over 66% more than in 2023. On average, nearly seven people bit the dust daily, with November emerging as the deadliest month across all metrics, compared to all other months of the year.
The violence took the heaviest toll on KP which topped in human losses with 1,616 fatalities, followed by Balochistan with 782 fatalities. In 2024, the country suffered 2,546 violence-linked fatalities and 2,267 injuries among civilians, security personnel and outlaws.
This tally of casualties stemmed from 1,166 incidents of terror attacks and counter-terror operations, marking a grim year for the country's security landscape.

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces issues an evacuation warning for Palestinian civilians in part of central Gaza’s Nuseirat following rocket fire.
“Terror organizations are once again firing rockets from this area that has received warnings several times in the past,” Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman says on X, attaching a map of the areas to be evacuated.
Civilians are urged to move to an Israeli-designated humanitarian zone before the IDF launches strikes on the area.
[IsraelTimes] A 27-year-old woman was lightly injured by rocks allegedly thrown by Palestinian attackers at civilian cars in the West Bank this evening, the IDF says, while several vehicles were damaged.
The Magen David Ambulance service says the woman has been evacuated for medical treatment with minor facial injuries from glass fragments.
The incident took place next to the Palestinian village of Hares, near the settlement of Ariel.
Security forces are scouring the area for the perpetrators, according to the military.
[GEO.TV] A group of armed Israeli settlers stormed the Old City of Hebron in the occupied West Bank and descended on Ibrahimi Mosque under heavy protection from Israeli forces, reported Al Jazeera on Sunday.
Local sources cited by the Wafa news agency said ''hundreds'' of armed settlers, escorted by soldiers, entered multiple neighbourhoods in the Old City, chanting ''racist and anti-Arab slogans'' and engaging in threats.
They reportedly performed Talmudic rituals at the mosque, as the movement of Paleostinians to the area was restricted amid a military curfew. In the town of as-Samu, south of Hebron, Israeli soldiers reportedly shot a young Paleostinian in the leg.

[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it has struck several Hezbollah targets Sunday night, including a rocket launcher, an unspecified military site, and "routes along the Syria-Leb ...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.... border used to smuggle weapons to Hezbollah."
The military says that before the strikes, it made the threats known to an international mechanism set up as part of the ongoing ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, but "the threats weren’t addressed."
"The IDF continues to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel and will operate to prevent any attempt by Hezbollah to rebuild its forces in accordance with the ceasefire understandings," the IDF adds.
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.COM.LB] Since cyberwarfare has become a major aspect of the military confrontations in the world, the Israeli enemy has been using social media in order pervade misleading ideas and carrying out spy missions against individuals and groups.
Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel... 's Internal Security Forces warned a few days ago about one of the new accounts, and warned against entering and browsing an account via the ''X'' application named (@payameabi), which contains posts in Persian supporting the Israeli enemy
A post was published in Arabic addressed the Lebanese people, calling on them to disclose information pertaining to Hezbollah. This account is managed by Israeli intelligence with the aim of recruiting agents, and its center is Tel Aviv.
Legal experts spoke to al-Manar about the penalties in Lebanon for dealing with the enemy, which depend mainly on the type of crime and its severity, but the most prominent penalties include:
— Execution: in the case of espionage or providing sensitive information to the enemy.
— Life imprisonment: in the case of cooperation with the enemy without causing direct harm that threatens security.
— Imprisonment for a specified period: in cases limited to providing non-sensitive information or less important threats.
In the event of a war with the enemy, the penalties may become more severe, as anyone proven to have dealt with the enemy will be treated as a ''traitor'' to the homeland.
Since the ceasefire took into effect on November 27, 2024, the Israeli enemy carried out an invasion of the Lebanese cyber system, sending messages, dialing phone numbers and publishing posts with fake job offers.
That sounds like a couple of teenaged boys doing the modern version of asking for Prince Albert in a can.
The Lebanese security agencies warned the citizens against interacting with such posts and messages, wowing a serious confrontation with the enemy's cyber invasion.

ACA Joe in the incoming months will consider to invest $ 100000, in a legal Investigation against the Israeli government and their accomplices for interfering in malicious internal interference in public discourse with hasbara and aipac foreign activities

Go for it, Joe. You’ll be very happy as you waste your money, and the Israelis won’t notice — just like they don’t notice Houthi missiles that fly the wrong way.
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.COM.LB] Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have intensified their incursions into southern Syria, particularly in Quneitra's northern countryside. On the 2nd of January, the IOF advanced into the Al-Hamr Hills near Hadar and Taranja, where they uprooted trees, demolished homes and agricultural lands, and destroyed Syrian Army barracks and weapons depots. The area has been declared a military zone, barring civilian access. Residents were reportedly ordered to hand over weapons allegedly looted from Syrian military locations.
In the southern Quneitra Countryside, Israeli forces supported by tanks entered the villages of Al-Asha, Abu Ghara, and Al-Hiran farm, further solidifying control. They also destroyed fortifications and demanded civilian compliance under the guise of military security.
Quneitra
Israeli military armored vehicles block a road leading to the town of Quneitra (Jaunary 2025).
In Jabatha al-Khashab, Israeli forces advanced and established new military points within Syrian territory, including constructing a 3-kilometer road inside the forest. The town's mayor emphasized the need to resist Israeli demands and called on the new Syrian government to address the violations. The occupation forces' control over weapons abandoned during Syrian Army collapses has fueled further tensions in the region.
One of the most significant developments occurred when Israeli forces seized the Mantara Dam, the largest water reservoir in southern Syria, capable of holding 40.2 million cubic meters of water. By raising earthen barriers, the occupation has effectively blocked residents' access to this critical resource. This move exacerbates Syria's water security crisis, particularly in the face of climate change and declining reserves.
