[gloomy guests: "Yummy, barbecued shrews!"]
[ARISE.TV] Six coppers have been killed in an ambush on a security base in north-east Kenya near the Somali border, a regional official has confirmed.
Garissa County Commissioner Mohammed Mwabudzo said the attack, which occurred at 05:30 local time (02:30 GMT) on Sunday, bore the hallmarks of Somali-based Islamist bad boy group al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... . The officers were preparing for their morning prayers when the assailants struck.
In addition to the six fatalities, four other officers sustained injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment. The attack targeted a camp housing reservists—local volunteers who assist the regular police in securing remote areas.
Mwabudzo described the assault as a ''guerrilla-style'' raid, consistent with al-Shabaab's repeated cross-border incursions aimed at destabilising the region. ''The suspected militia used assorted weapons to overrun the camp,'' he added.
While no group has officially grabbed credit, al-Shabaab has a history of launching deadly attacks in Kenya, targeting both security forces and civilians. The al-Qaeda-affiliated group controls large parts of southern and central Somalia and has been engaged in a violent mostly peaceful insurgency against Somalia's government for nearly two decades.
📌 Geolocated footage posted today to 2.25160, 45.39555 which confirms #AlShabaab set up a checkpoint just 15km from Mogadishu—a bold show of control as the group pushes closer to the capital amid intensifying offensives.
Ali Dheere delivered a fiery open-air speech, flaunting the group’s presence.
The video, posted by the militants themselves, paints a chilling picture of confidence and control despite Somali government-backed media claiming major air and ground offensives are “crippling” the group.
So who’s lying?
Is the government winning or spinning?
[DAILYPOST.NG] At least three people have been hospitalized after an undetonated Improvised Explosive Device (IED) exploded in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State.
The explosion occurred on Saturday in Ngomari Community, Buni Yadi, the headquarters of Gujba LGA.
Boko Haram terrorists have a history of using IEDs to carry out attacks in the region, leaving behind unexploded devices that pose risks to residents.
[BUSINESSDAY.NG] The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has ramped up its counter-insurgency operations in Borno State, launching a series of precision Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s against 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) hideouts.
The latest strikes targeted key terrorist enclaves, resulting in the destruction of multiple murderous Moslem facilities and the elimination of several terrorists.
According to intelligence sources cited by Zagazola Makama, a counter-terrorism expert in the Lake Chad, NAF fighter jets carried out a major offensive on March 22, striking ISWAP positions in Chilaria, within the notorious Timbuktu Triangle.
The operation inflicted heavy damage on the murderous Moslems, neutralizing several fighters and destroying four Hilux trucks used for their activities.
[HodhodYemenNews] US aggression aircraft resumed their criminal raids on the capital, Sana’a, and Sa’adah province, which led to the martyrdom of at least one person and injuring 15 others, including 3 children and 2 women in an initial toll.
According to local sources in Sana’a, reported that the US aggression launched raids on the capital, targeting a residential building in the Asr neighborhood of Mo’een district.
In Saada, the aggression aircraft carried out two raids on the outskirts of the city. The US aggression later launched a raid on Sahar district and another on Saqeen district.
These raids on Saada follow a series of US aggression strikes on Saturday evening and Sunday dawn, which targeted the districts of Kitaf and Saqeen in the same province, as well as Hodeidah airport, Salif port, and areas in Ma’rib province.
The American aggression is aimed at trying to stop Yemen’s operations against Israeli targets, including Israeli ships, and Israeli-linked vessels. They describe the aggression as an attempt on the part of Washington to render Sana’a’s defenses incapable of taking on the regime in response to its bloodshed and destruction in Gazoo

Saudi news site claims senior rebel killed in strike on residential neighborhood in capital; Trump official claims bombing campaign taking out Iran-backed group’s ‘key leadership’
US airstrikes targeting Yemen’s Houthi rebels pounded sites across the country into Monday, with the group saying the one attack in the capital killed at least one person and wounded more than a dozen others, as the American air campaign against the rebel group entered a second week.
The rebel-controlled SABA news agency reported, citing health officials, that the US-attributed strike on a residential neighborhood in western Sanaa killed one and injured 13, including three children.
According to the Saudi Al Hadath network, a senior Houthi official was killed in the strike on the capital. However, the report did not identify the official by name or by position.
Footage released by the rebels showed the rubble of a collapsed building and pools of blood staining the gray dust covering the ground.
A building next to the collapsed structure still stood, suggesting American forces likely used a lower-yield warhead in the strike.
The Houthis also described American airstrikes targeting sites around the city of Saada, a Houthi stronghold, the Red Sea port city of Hodeida, and Marib province, home to oil and gas fields still under the control of allies to Yemen’s exiled central government.
The American strikes entered a 10th day without a sign of stopping, part of a campaign by US President Donald Trump, targeting the rebel group that threatens maritime trade and Israel, while also trying to pressure Iran, the Houthis’ main benefactor.
So far, the US has not offered any specifics on the sites it is striking, though Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz claimed the attacks have “taken out key Houthi leadership, including their head missileer.”
That has not been acknowledged by the Houthis, though the rebels have downplayed their losses in the past and exaggerated their attacks in attempting to target American warships.
“We’ve hit their headquarters,” Waltz told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “We’ve hit communications nodes, weapons factories, and even some of their over-the-water drone production facilities.”
The campaign of airstrikes targeting the rebels, which killed at least 53 people immediately after they began March 15, started after the Houthis threatened to begin targeting “Israeli” ships again over Israel blocking aid entering the Gaza Strip.
The latest US strikes came after antisemitic influencer Jackson Hinkle visited Yemen over the weekend and met with senior Houthi leaders at a conference in Sanaa entitled “Palestine: The Central Issue of the Nation – You Are Not Alone.”
Hinkle, a US citizen known to spread disinformation and conspiracy theories about Israel and Ukraine on social media, met with members of the US-listed terrorist organization at the conference in apparent violation of American law, though he currently resides in Russia.

Hinkle also attended the funeral of slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon last month.
The conference on Saturday included Hamas representatives in Yemen, former South African parliamentarian and grandson of Nelson Mandela, Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela, former Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, Brazilian analyst Deb Escobar, former Member of European Parliament Mick Wallace, and others.
The conference discussed the strategic dimensions of Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, the dangers of normalization, and the role of resistance in confronting the Zionist entity, according to its press announcement.
Petty bullying, but intended to remind the Jews that the authorities will not protect them, no matter the platitudes piously spouted after a serious attack.
[IsraelTimes] Authorities in London are investigating a potential antisemitic hate crime, after a masked man was seen tearing mezuzahs from the entrances of a kosher restaurant and a Chabad synagogue on Saturday.
Harden the things: replace them with mezuzahs wired to give a severe shock and spray marking paint on the miscreant. Or something equivalent that causes pain and identifies the jerk for the police, since CCTV is not useful enough for them..
The suspect, dressed in a hooded jacket, approached a kosher restaurant in West Hampstead and ripped the mezuzah from its doorpost just before 7 a.m. on Saturday.
Shortly afterward, he arrived at nearby Chabad synagogue, where he also wrenched the mezuzah from the entrance and pocketed it before walking away.
Both incidents were caught on security cameras. Police have yet to locate the suspect.
[IsraelTimes] Filing on behalf of Yunseo Chung, who has been in the US since she was 7, follows her arrest this month during protest at which demonstrators handed out Hamas pamphlets
A Korean Columbia University student, who is a legal permanent US resident and has participated in pro-Palestinian protests against Israel, sued the administration of US President Donald Trump on Monday to prevent her deportation, a court filing showed.
Yunseo Chung, 21, has lived in the US since she was seven, but her legal team was informed two weeks ago that her lawful permanent resident status was being revoked, according to the court filing in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The Trump administration says her US presence hinders its foreign policy agenda, according to the lawsuit. Chung has not yet been arrested. Immigration agents have made multiple visits to her residences looking for her.
In hiding, is she? That won’t do at all.
Trump has pledged to deport foreign pro-Palestinian protesters and accused them of supporting terrorist group Hamas, of posing hurdles for US foreign policy and of being antisemitic.
Protesters, including some Jewish groups,
…that’s “Jewish” groups, founded by Hezbollah and funded by the Soros Open Society Foundations and some other of the usual suspects…
say the administration wrongly conflates their criticism of Israel and support for Palestinian rights with antisemitism and support for Hamas.
Actually, the Trump administration very rightly conflates them, because that is your point.
Human rights advocates have condemned the government’s moves.
These particular human rights groups have done, because they are full of vicious, unthinkingly self-righteous people.
Columbia protester Mahmoud Khalil, who was arrested this month and is legally challenging his detention, is also a lawful permanent resident. Trump has accused Khalil of supporting Hamas, which the latter denies.
Seriously? Dude, that’s like a toddler denying he ate the chocolate when it’s smeared all over him.
Actions against Chung “form part of a larger pattern of attempted US government repression of constitutionally protected protest activity and other forms of speech,” Monday’s lawsuit says.
One assumes the lady was involved in the riots and harassment of Jews on campus, which is a) not speech, and therefore not protected, and b) beside the point when a non-citizen is engaged in actions to support a listed terror organization like Hamas.
“The government’s repression has focused specifically on university students who speak out in solidarity with Palestinians and who are critical of the Israeli government’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza,” referring to the war sparked by Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror onslaught against Israel.

A spokesperson for the US Department of Homeland Security alleged Chung has engaged in concerning conduct, including when she was arrested by police during a protest at Barnard College earlier this month that DHS termed “pro-Hamas” as the demonstrators who took over the campus handed out Hamas pamphlets.
The spokesperson did not elaborate further on the specifics of that conduct in question but said she was “sought for removal proceedings under the immigration laws” and will have a chance to present her case before an immigration judge.
Some briefs that have been awaiting an excuse to share with you, dear Reader:
Pitt suspends Students for Justice in Palestine
[IsraelTimes] The suspension means that SJP must cease all organizational operations and is banned from using any university resources to advance its mission.
Pitt received an overall grade of a D, the same as Columbia University, which has become a national symbol for antisemitic activity on college campuses. By contrast, Carnegie Mellon University, the only other Pittsburgh-area university graded in the report, received a B.
Pitt, the ADL said, performed below expectations in five categories: having an official position against BDS; having a Jewish alumni group; the level of severe antisemitic and anti-Zionist incidents; the level of other antisemitic and anti-Zionist incidents; and the level of hostile anti-Zionist student groups.
[IsraelTimes] After arresting Oscar-winning activist Hamdan Ballal during a reported settler attack on Susya, the military says the violence began “after a number of terrorists threw rocks toward Israeli citizens and struck their cars” near the southern West Bank village.
“Afterwards, a violent confrontation developed that included mutual stone-throwing between Palestinians and Israelis,” the Israel Defense Forces says in a statement.
According to the IDF, when troops arrived at the scene “to disperse the conflict, a number of terrorists began throwing stones toward the security forces.” Soldiers then arrested three Palestinians, inclufing Ballal, on suspicion of throwing stones at soldiers, as well as an Israeli suspected of taking part in the violence.
The statement adds that an Israeli citizen who was wounded has been taken for medical treatment, while denying any of the Palestinians were arrested in an ambulance.
[IsraelTimes] Air force said to destroy over 100 of the vehicles used by Hamas in massacre and at hostage-release propaganda events; IDF says Hamas finance chief was planning attacks from hospital where he was killed
The Israel Defense Forces carried out dozens of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s Sunday night and Monday, including on empty white pick-up trucks belonging to the Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... terror group, of the type used in the October 7, 2023, invasion of southern Israel and in propaganda ceremonies for the release of hostages.

The IDF destroyed over 100 pickup trucks used by Hamas terrorists, in airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Monday, the military said.
Some of the trucks were used by Hamas in its October 7, 2023, terror onslaught in southern Israel, as well as for other operations in Gaza, including to transfer weapons, the army added.
Armed Hamas button men were also seen parading in such vehicles during recent hostage release propaganda ceremonies.
The airstrikes targeting the pickup trucks were carried out in all areas of Gaza. A strike hit a building where several pickup trucks were being stored, the military said.
IDF, SHIN BET CONFIRM TOP HAMAS OFFICIAL KILLED
Also Monday, the IDF and Shin Bet confirmed that top Hamas official Ismail Barhoum was targeted and killed in a strike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis on Sunday night.
Not long after the strike, Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Barhoum had been eliminated. Hamas also made an announcement.
According to the military and Shin Bet, Barhoum, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, was chief of the terror group’s finances and the successor to Issam Da’alis, the de-facto prime minister of Gaza, who was killed last week.
"Barhoum was a key figure in Hamas’ political bureau and was actively involved in the military decision-making process that directly impacted Hamas’s operations," the joint statement said.
The IDF and Shin Bet said that he oversaw Hamas’s "financial management in the Gaza Strip, channeling funds to Hamas’s military wing, financing and planning the execution of terror attacks against the State of Israel.
"These funds financed the organization’s continued survival in the Gaza Strip and were used to carry out terror attacks and to purchase weapons, which posed a threat to Israeli civilians," the statement said.
IDF: BARHOUM WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR TERRORISM, NOT TREATMENT
While Hamas had claimed Barhoum was at Nasser Hospital for medical treatment after being maimed in a previous strike, the IDF said he was operating from within the medical center.
"This is yet another example of the way that the Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law while taking over civilian infrastructure in a manner that prevents the rehabilitation and livelihood of the Gazook population, and while brutally exploiting the civilian population as a human shield for its terror attacks against the State of Israel," the statement said.
In a separate statement on X, IDF international media front man Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani reiterated: "The claim that Barhoum was in Nasser Hospital for medical treatment is completely false and was spread to mislead the public and the media."
"Barhoum was in the hospital in order to commit acts of terrorism, cynically using hospital patients and the population in the area as human shields. He remained in the hospital for many weeks, during which he held meetings with other snuffies and senior figures in the terrorist organization," Shoshani said.
He suggested that "the media refrain from echoing the falsehoods of the Hamas terrorist organization and its members and check the facts before publishing such claims."
"The Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law and takes over civilian infrastructure, including schools and hospitals, in a way that prevents the rehabilitation and livelihood of the civilians of Gaza," he added.
AL JAZEERA REPORTER, IDENTIFIED AS A HAMAS SNIPER, SAID KILLED
The Hamas-run Gaza civil defense authority, as well as Al Jazeera, said Monday that Hossam Shabat, a news hound in northern Gaza for the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... i news station, was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
The agency said Shabat was targeted by a dronezap on his car on Monday afternoon near a gas station in the northern town of Beit Lahiya.
The civil defense authority said that Mohamad Mansor, a news hound on the Falstin al-Yom channel of the 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.

In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... , was also killed in a separate strike on his home in Khan Younis.
Last October, the IDF said it had uncovered documents in the Gaza Strip that showed Shabat was a sniper in Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion.
According to the army at the time, the documents showed personnel spreadsheets, lists of training courses, telephone books and salary documents that "unequivocally prove" Shabat and five other Al Jazeera personalities were members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad’s military wings.
There was no immediate official comment from the IDF on the reports of Shabat’s killing on Monday.
ISRAELI STRIKE SAID TO HIT SCHOOL-TURNED-SHELTER, KILLING 4
Paleostinian medics, meanwhile, said an Israeli strike on Monday hit a school where displaced people were sheltering in the Gaza Strip, killing at least four people, including a child.
Another 18 people were reported maimed in the alleged strike in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp, according to al-Awda Hospital, which received the casualties.
Three other hospitals had earlier reported 25 deaths from Israeli strikes overnight and into Monday.
There was no immediate comment from the IDF.
Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said Monday the bodies of 61 people killed by Israeli strikes had been brought to hospitals over the past 24 hours. Hospitals also received 143 maimed, Gaza’s health ministry said in a daily report.
The ministry’s numbers are not independently verified and do not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
Israeli officials regularly note that the military makes efforts to avoid civilian casualties.
In a statement posted to X on Monday, Defense Minister Israel Katz reiterated: "Israel is not fighting the civilians in Gaza and is doing everything that international law requires to mitigate harm to civilians."
Katz said Hamas fights from civilian areas, disguised as civilians, and thus puts civilians in danger, and urged non-combatants to evacuate combat areas when instructed to by the IDF.
THOUSANDS SAID TRAPPED IN RAFAH AS IDF ENCIRCLES PART OF IT
As the fighting raged, thousands of people were still trapped in the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, officials in the Hamas-run Strip said Monday, after Israeli forces, having ordered residents to evacuate, encircled its Tel Sultan neighborhood.
Israel told residents by a single route on foot to al-Mawasi, a sprawling cluster of tent camps along the coast.
Thousands fled, but residents said many were trapped by Israeli forces.
The war in the Gaza Strip began on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led snuffies invaded southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, amid acts of brutality and sexual assault.
Fighting stopped briefly in November 2023 amid a hostage-ceasefire agreement and then stopped again for some two months starting mid-January 2025, when another hostage-truce deal was reached.
The fighting resumed last week, though talks are ongoing to secure the release of more hostages in exchange for another truce.
The IDF has indicated in recent days that it’s preparing to expand ground operations in Gaza, redeploying on Sunday an armored division that had been stationed on the border with Leb ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities.

The two volleys were the third instance of rockets being launched from the Gaza Strip at Israel since the military resumed its offensive against Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... last week. Hamas on Thursday launched three long-range rockets at central Israel, and on Friday fired two rockets at the southern coastal city of Ashkelon.
In the first attack Monday at around 7 p.m., two rockets were fired from Gaza, setting off sirens in Sderot, Netiv Haassara, Karmia, Zikim, Nir Am, and Ibim. Both rockets were intercepted by air defenses, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The second attack of one rocket occurred at 9 p.m., setting off sirens in Sderot, Ibim and Nir Am. It was also intercepted, according to the IDF.
Following the first round of rocket fire, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for Paleostinians in the Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun areas, where the two projectiles were fired from.
In a post on X, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man, Col. Avichay Adraee, published a map of the area to be evacuated, while issuing a "final warning" before the military was to carry out strikes there.
The IDF issued an additional evacuation warning for residents of the Jabalia area after Islamic Jihad fired a third rocket from the region two hours later.
Earlier Monday, the IDF said it carried out dozens of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s, including on empty white pick-up trucks belonging to the Hamas terror group.
Tel Sultan was encircled by the 14th Reserve Armored Brigade yesterday in a four-hour-long offensive. During the operation, the IDF estimates that some 20 terror operatives were killed, including in airstrikes.
The troops also raided a Hamas command center in the neighborhood, the IDF says.
The IDF’s Gaza Division continues to operate in the Rafah area and on the outskirts of Khan Younis. The military says the operation is intended to expand a buffer zone along the border with the Strip.
[HodhodYemenNews] Explosions were heard in Tel Aviv, Quds (Jerusalem), and the coastal area south of Tel Aviv as a result of a missile launched from 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... , Hebrew media reported on Monday.
Media outlets stated that sirens continued to sound in several areas of central "Israel" while acknowledging that debris from an attempted missile interception fell in the central region.
[IsraelTimes] No injuries or damage caused by missile attack, which set off sirens across central Israel; Iran-backed Yemeni group has now targeted Israel six times in the past week
Sirens sounded across central Israel on Monday afternoon as the Iran-backed Houthis launched a ballistic missile from Yemen, which the IDF said it shot down before it crossed into Israeli territory.
Several pieces of shrapnel from the missile continued to fall after the missile was intercepted, reaching Israel and landing in the city of Beit Shemesh outside Jerusalem.
No injuries or major damage were reported as a result of the projectiles’ impact, according to rescue authorities.
Sirens went off in Tel Aviv, Rishon Lezion, Rehovot and the outskirts of Jerusalem at around 8 p.m.
The Houthis later issued a statement claiming responsibility for the missile launch, which like other recent attacks it claimed targeted Ben Gurion Airport.
No doubt it was, even if the last one actually hit Saudi Arabia.
The missile launch marks the sixth Houthi attack on Israel in the past week, following the IDF’s renewed offensive against Hamas in Gaza last Tuesday.
The missiles have all been intercepted by Israeli air defenses or fallen short of reaching Israel, but have nevertheless sent much of the country scrambling to shelters.

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces announces that it just struck “remaining military capabilities” at the Palmyra and T-4 airbases in Syria, several days after similarly targeting both airfields.
“The IDF will continue to act to remove any threat to Israeli citizens,” says a statement from the military.
[IsraelTimes] Hezbollah denies involvement in attack on northern Israeli border town as IAF jets strike terror group’s sites in southern Lebanon; Lebanese president, PM call for de-escalation
Lebanese leaders have been in intensive contact with Washington and Gay Paree to prevent Israel from bombing Beirut, a Lebanese official said Monday, after Israel retaliated to rocket fire from southern Leb ...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... with heavy strikes on the country over the weekend.
Israel launched two waves of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on Lebanon on Saturday in response to rocket fire from southern Lebanon at the northern border community of Metula, marking the first strike on Israel from Lebanese territory since a ceasefire took effect on November 27.
The IDF said its air defenses intercepted three projectiles that crossed the border, while the other three rockets fell short in Lebanon.
Israeli strikes targeted several Hezbollah sites in the region, including rocket launchers, killing eight people. The Iran-backed terror group denied involvement in the rocket fire.
Speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, the official said Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam "made diplomatic contact with La Belle France and the United States... as well as with the UN to achieve de-escalation following Israeli threats to target Beirut."
The US, La Belle France and the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... belong to a ceasefire monitoring mechanism.
During the two months of full-scale war leading up to the ceasefire, Israeli airstrikes pounded the south Beirut bastion of Hezbollah, while occasionally striking the city center.
Salam "emphasized the need to control security and prevent a repeat of rocket fire" against Israel, the official added.
No party has grabbed credit for the rocket fire, which a military source said was launched from an area north of the Litani River, between the villages of Kfar Tebnit and Arnoun, near the zone covered by the ceasefire agreement.
The agreement stipulates that only the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers may be deployed south of the Litani River, with Hezbollah required to dismantle its infrastructure and withdraw north of the river.
Israel missed two deadlines to withdraw all its forces across the UN-demarcated Blue Line, the de facto border, and continues to hold five positions it deems "strategic."
The Lebanese army said later it dismantled three makeshift rocket batteries in the area, about 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the Israeli border.
A military source told AFP the army detained two Syrians who were "working as guards at a farm near the rocket-launching site." The Syrians reported seeing a car with several men who set up the launchers and fired the rockets before leaving.
[IsraelTimes] Lebanon’s health ministry says an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon has killed one person.
State-run Lebanon News Agency quotes a health ministry statement as saying that the Monday night drone strike took place in the village of Qaaqaaiyet el-Jisr. It is not immediately clear who the target was.
