FBI: Teen Murdered Parents in Plot to Fund Assassination of President Trump
[BREITBART] A 17-year-old Wisconsin teen allegedly killed his parents in pursuit of the ''financial means and autonomy'' to assassinate President Trump, the FBI revealed.

Court documents show the 17-year-old was part of a ''satanic cult'' which has ''strong anti-Judaism anti-Christian and anti-western ideologies,'' WISN reported Friday.

Investigators also found a manifesto which ''described a call to assassinate President Trump, make and detonate bombs and carry out other terrorist attacks.''

CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
noted that charges against the 17-year-old include two counts of first-degree murder and ''two counts of hiding a corpse.'' He also faces federal charges tied to the planned liquidation.

In one entry in the manifesto, the 17-year-old addressed his plans for Trump, writing, ''As to why, specifically Trump, I think it's pretty obvious. By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos.''

The 17-year-old allegedly killed his mother and stepfather inside their home in February. The two victims were shot to death.

Arabia
US Air Force strikes ceramics factory in Yemen
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] At least five people were killed in a US Air Force attack on a ceramics factory in Yemen's Sana'a province. This was reported on April 13 by the government's Ministry of Health in the territory controlled by the Ansar Allah (Houthis) movement.

"Preliminary, five people were killed as a result of US strikes on the As-Suwari plant in the Matna area of ​​Bani Matara," the Yemeni rebel-owned Al Masirah TV channel quoted the department as saying.

In addition, 13 people were injured in the US attack.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, on April 4, the Houthis launched another attack on the US aircraft carrier Harry Truman and other US Navy ships in the Red Sea. Later, on April 6, the Ansar Allah movement again attacked the Harry Truman and its escort ships. On the same day, the American television channel CNN, citing sources, announced the preparation of a ground operation against the Houthis in Yemen, which could be supported by Saudi Arabia and the US.

Since March 15, the US army has launched a large-scale operation against the Houthis in Yemen, during which strikes were carried out on the western regions of the country. Later, on March 22, during a missile strike by US aircraft on the international airport of Hodeidah in western Yemen, the commander of the Houthi naval forces, Mansour al-Saadi, was wounded. In addition, at least seven more members of Ansar Allah were injured.

Houthis launch massive attack on airport and military base in Israel
[Regnum] The Shiite military-political movement Ansar Allah, which governs northern Yemen, reported a massive attack on Israel on April 13. In particular, Ben Gurion Airport and the Sdot Miha military base, located east of Ashdod, came under fire. This was reported by the Al Masirah TV channel.
Came under fire or was fired in the general direction of, but never even came close?
"The Palestine-2 hypersonic missile was aimed at the Sdot Micha base east of Ashdod. The Zulfikar missile was aimed at Ben Gurion Airport," the Houthis said in a statement.
No doubt.
Activists said the air force carried out an operation to strike an important Israeli enemy target in the occupied Ashkelon area using a drone.

As reported by Regnum news agency, on April 6, the Houthis attacked the American aircraft carrier Harry Truman and its escort ships in the northern part of the Red Sea.

On April 3, the Ansar Allah movement also announced a strike on a US Navy carrier group in the Red Sea led by Harry Truman. It was specified that the Yemeni movement's fighters used cruise missiles and drones for the strike.

On March 22, a US air strike on Hodeidah International Airport in western Yemen wounded Houthi naval commander Mansour al-Saadi. It was reported that at least seven other members of the movement were also injured.
The Times of Israel adds:
The Houthis claim they fired two missiles in the attack, one targeting the Sdot Micha Airbase — where according to foreign reports Israel holds nuclear-capable Jericho missiles — and the other aimed at Ben Gurion Airport.

The IDF reported that only one missile reached Israel, and it was successfully intercepted by air defenses. The second likely fell short, similar to numerous other recent Houthi attacks.

The Houthis further claim to have targeted a “vital Israeli enemy target” in the Ashkelon area with a drone. There have been no reports of drones reaching Israel from Yemen in the past day.

Greek extremist group dedicates bombing to ‘the Palestinian people and their heroic resistance’
[IsraelTimes] A new extremist group claims responsibility for a bomb that exploded near the offices of Hellenic Train, Greece’s main railway services operator and the planting of another near the Labor Ministry in early February.

The explosion Friday evening resulted in limited damage and no injuries. The perpetrators had forewarned of the explosion by calling two media organizations about 40 minutes before it happened.

In a lengthy posting on the website Athens.indymedia.org on Sunday, the perpetrators, who style themselves the Revolutionary Class Struggle, explain the reasons for their action, which they say is part of an armed struggle against the state.

Revolutionary Class Struggle dedicates the bombings to “the Palestinian people and their heroic resistance” and pays tribute to Kyriakos Xymitiris, a man who was killed last year when the explosive device he was assembling exploded in a central Athens apartment.
He was one of those bomb-throwing anarchists…
The explosion also came during widespread public anger over a 2023 railway disaster, Greece’s worst, in which 57 people were killed and dozens more injured when a freight train and a passenger train heading in opposite directions were accidentally put on the same track.

The deadly accident exposed severe deficiencies in Greece’s railway system, including in safety systems, and has triggered mass protests led by relatives of the victims against the country’s conservative government on the occasion of the accident’s second anniversary.

In its statement, which serves as a sort of manifesto, Revolutionary Class Struggle connects the accident with what it calls the “murders” of the proletariat in the form of workplace accidents, by capitalists.

Greece has a long history of politically motivated violence dating back to the 1970s, with domestic extremist groups carrying out small-scale bombings that usually cause damage but rarely lead to injuries.

While the groups most active in the 1980s and 1990s have been dismantled, new smaller groups have emerged. Authorities are calling them a new generation of domestic extremists.

Man charged with terrorism, attempted murder, aggravated arson and aggravated assault over home arson attack on Pennsylvania Gov. @JoshShapiroPA.
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

@TonySeruga
GPS—Cody Balmer‼️

The media and corrupt politicians are already spinning the facts.

None of us have the whole story yet, but we do know 💯 that Cody Balmer, born on March 23, 1987, a resident of Harrisburg, PA, with addresses listed at 24xx Canby St and 27xx Banks St, among others, with the associated phone numbers, (717) 238-41xx and (717) 234-47xx, his mobile devices were present for 39 Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests.

Suspect in Custody for Arson Attack on Pennsylvania Governor's Residence, State Police Say
[USNews] A 38-year-old man named Cody Balmer is in custody for the arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence in Harrisburg late on Saturday night, Pennsylvania state authorities said at a press conference on Sunday.

Balmer had homemade incendiary devices in his possession and made it inside the residence before leaving, according to the state police commissioner. He was apprehended on Sunday in the Harrisburg area.

Who Is Cody Balmer? What We Know About Suspect in Gov. Shapiro Arson Case
[Newsweek] Pennsylvania State Police arrested a suspect in connection with the fire set at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence in Harrisburg overnight Saturday, with the investigation ongoing.

THE CONTEXT
Shapiro reported on Sunday that state police woke him and his family at 2 a.m. after a suspect had set fire in the Governor's Residence, forcing the governor and his family to evacuate. Shapiro had guests over earlier in the evening to celebrate the first night of Passover but has not revealed who was staying in the residence other than his family.

No one was harmed during the incident, and the suspect escaped. Authorities launched a multi-agency manhunt spearheaded by the Pennsylvania State Police.

By Sunday evening, authorities had a suspect in custody and revealed more details about what had happened.

WHAT TO KNOW
Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Christopher Paris told reporters at a press conference on Sunday evening that they had identified Cody Balmer, a 38-year-old resident of Harrisburg, as a person of interest and suspect in the investigation.

Authorities are treating the incident as aggravated arson and attempted homicide, which will be further detailed in an official complaint filed later this evening. Balmer will also face terrorism and aggravated assault charges.

While Shapiro spoke at length about Balmer's attempt to "terrorize our family, our friends, the Jewish community," no charges of a hate crime were yet announced.

Paris said the suspect jumped a fence at the Governor's Residence, evaded troopers on site who were looking for him, then broke into the residence and set fire to the building before escaping back over the fence.

Balmer had a "very methodic plan" and had homemade incendiary devices in his possession, Paris added.

A photo of a man allegedly identified as Balmer started circulating online but could not be verified. Authorities said a booking photo of the suspect would be available later this evening.

Iraq
Kurdish Peshmerga destroy suspected ISIS hideouts in Diyala
[Rudaw] Kurdish Peshmerga forces carried out an operation against suspected 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....
(ISIS) hideouts in Diyala province and destroyed "several" hideouts, their ministry said on Saturday.

The operation, near Diyala province’s Qara Tapa town, around 172 kilometers northeast of Baghdad, involved several Peshmerga brigades who scouted the area "suspected of containing ISIS terrorist hideouts and remnants," the Peshmerga ministry said in a statement.

"During the operation, several ISIS terrorist hideouts and caves were destroyed, and the operation concluded," according to the ministry.

ISIS seized control of large swathes of territory in Iraq in 2014 but was defeated in 2017 after three years of fierce battles. Despite its defeat, the group continues to pose security risks, particularly in the disputed territories between Baghdad and Erbil which span across several provinces including Diyala, Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
Nineveh, and Salahaddin.

ISIS cells roaming the disputed territories occasionally carry out attacks on Peshmerga and Iraqi security forces.

In February, a Peshmerga unit thwarted an ISIS attack near the town of Kifri in Sulaimani province.

Both Erbil and Baghdad are working together to address the security vacuum between their areas of control to combat ISIS activities.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Gaza rubble bounce
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

IDF says strike on car in Gaza’s Deir al-Balah targeted Hamas sniper
[IsraelTimes] Earlier today, the IDF says it carried out an airstrike on a car in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah, killing a Hamas operative.

The strike had targeted Ubayd Allah Na’im al-Hadhud Musa, who the military identifies as the deputy commander of a Hamas sniper cell.

According to Palestinian media, seven people were killed in the strike.

The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, including by using “precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.”

IDF says it hit Hamas command center in Deir al-Balah strike
[IsraelTimes] A Hamas command center in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah was targeted in an airstrike a short while ago, the IDF and Shin Bet say.

Palestinian media report that the strike hit the Deir al-Balah municipality building and that at least three people were killed.

According to the military, numerous Hamas operatives were at the site when it was struck.

The IDF and Shin Bet say Hamas operatives used the compound to carry out attacks against troops and Israel and were planning additional attacks.

IDF says troops destroyed 1.2 kilometer tunnel in northern Gaza
[IsraelTimes] A 1.2-kilometer-long tunnel was recently destroyed by IDF troops during operations in the northern Gaza Strip, the military says.

The tunnel was located by the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade, which is operating under the 252nd Division in north Gaza.

Soldiers of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit demolished the tunnel, which reached depths of some 20 meters below the ground, according to the IDF.

The IDF says the Northern Brigade troops also located a nearby weapons depot where some 20 explosive devices, an anti-tank launcher, and other weapons were stored.

Also, during operations in the area, the military says troops using a drone spotted a cell of terror operatives trying to plant a bomb in the ground near the forces. An Israeli Air Force drone struck and killed the operatives a short while later.

IDF says more than 90 targets struck in Gaza over past two days
[IsraelTimes] Over 90 targets were struck in the Gaza Strip in the past 48 hours, the military says.

Among the targets was a Hamas command center in the area of the Gaza City neighborhoods of Daraj and Tuffah. The IDF says the site included a weapons depot used to store explosives that Hamas operatives used in attacks on troops.

The other targets included a rocket launching site used to fire a projectile at southern Israel last night, weapon depots, cells of operatives, and other Hamas infrastructure, the military says.

The strikes come as troops continue ground operations in Gaza.

The 36th Division destroyed weapons and other Hamas infrastructure and directed strikes on Hamas operatives in the Morag Corridor area, the IDF says.

The IDF says the Gaza Division located additional weapons and infrastructure and killed operatives in Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighborhood.

In northern Gaza, the military says the 252nd Division destroyed additional Hamas infrastructure, including tunnel shafts and buildings used by the terror group, and killed several operatives trying to plant a bomb.

IDF issues evacuation warning for Khan Younis area after latest Gaza rocket fire
[IsraelTimes] Following rocket fire from the southern Gaza Strip at the Re’im area near the border, the IDF issues an evacuation warning for Palestinians in the Khan Younis area.

In a post on X, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Col. Avichay Adraee, publishes a map of the area that is to be evacuated, saying that it is a “final warning” before the IDF carries out strikes there.

One rocket fired at Re’im was intercepted, according to the military. Over the past day, five rockets have been fired from Gaza at Israel.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
SDF, Syrian forces begin joint oversight of Kurdish-majority neighborhoods in Aleppo
Hayat Tahrir al Sham is clearly better prepared to govern their caliphate than ISIS was, or Hamas is even after almost two decades. Interesting.
[Rudaw] Damascus-aligned forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Sunday began to jointly manage security in Kurdish-majority neighbourhoods of northern Aleppo, marking a significant step in a wider deal to integrate the Kurdish-led force into Syria's state institutions.

The coordinated effort saw the two sides begin "removing barriers and checkpoints on the streets of the two [Kurdish majority] neighborhoods" of Sheikh Maqsood and Ashrafiyeh, as well as "other neighborhoods across Aleppo," according to the SDF-affiliated Hawar News Agency.

The development follows a 14-point agreement signed in early April between the Syrian leadership and the SDF.

The deal covers a prisoner swap and outlines a framework for joint security oversight in Aleppo, including in Kurdish-majority neighborhoods that were previously under the control of the People’s Protection Units (YPG).

The YPG, which represents the backbone of the SDF, has begun withdrawing from the area in accordance with the deal. Two groups of YPG fighters, 400 on April 4 and another 500 on April 9, have reportedly exited the neighborhoods.

The deal has also facilitated the exchange of 243 detainees from both sides.

Notably, the April agreement builds on a landmark deal signed in early March between Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa and SDF chief Mazloum Abdi signed to "integrate all civil and military institutions in northeast Syria [Rojava] under the administration of the Syrian state, including border crossings, the [Qamishli International] Airport, and oil and gas fields."

The agreement emphasizes that "the Kurdish community is indigenous to the Syrian state, which ensures this community’s right to citizenship and all of its constitutional rights."

It further calls to implement a ceasefire across all Syrian territories and ensure the return of all displaced Syrians to their towns and villages.
