No doubt the Houthis aimed at the thing. Hitting the target is a separate skill
[HodhodYemenNews] The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced that they targeted the USS ‘Carl Vinson’ aircraft carrier for the first time since its arrival, using cruise missiles and drones, as well as hitting the vicinity of Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Yaffa region.
Additionally, The Yemeni air defences have shot down an American MQ-9 ‘Reaper’ drone in Sana’a.
[HodhodYemenNews] The number of US MQ-9 drones shot down by the Yemeni armed forces in Sana’a has risen to 24.
The spokesman of Yemen’s armed forces, Yahya Sare’e, declared during a mass rally at Al-Sabeen Square in the capital Sana’a, under the banner “We remain steadfast with Gaza in the face of the American-‘Israeli’ escalation,” that another MQ-9 was shot down over Sana’a Governorate.
This is the fifth such incident within three weeks and the twenty-first during the Battle of the Promised Victory and the Holy Jihad in support of Gaza.
Meanwhile, four MQ-9 aircraft were shot down during the war waged by the Saudi-led coalition on Yemen, alongside multiple reconnaissance UAVs of Chinese and other foreign manufacture.
Sare’e has consistently emphasized in his statements that the Yemeni forces used locally manufactured surface-to-air missiles to shoot down all US drones, highlighting the significant advancement of Yemen’s indigenous defense capabilities.

Someone is probably tracking the out of pocket expenses that the Houthis have cost the US in the past year or so. No clue what the per hour cost is to keep a carrier group operational in overhead (wages, fuel, maintenance, etc). The MQ9s cost 30 million each.

Meanwhile, four MQ-9 aircraft were shot down during the war waged by the Saudi-led coalition on Yemen, alongside multiple reconnaissance UAVs of Chinese and other foreign manufacture.
Right. In WW2 every German Tank was typically (mis-)identified as a Tiger (PzKpfw VI) or a Panther (PzKpfw V) when the Germans had many other tanks such as PzJpfw -IV and -IIIs on the Western Front. So every drone, or its pieces scattered over the landscape, made in China suddenly becomes promoted to being a MQ-9.
Besides, why give any credence to the natterings of the Yemeni 'Baghdad Bob' ...

The Houthis have hired a new French spokesman, who said:
"I fart in your general direction, your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries."
Or words to that effect.

[HodhodYemenNews] The death toll from the American aggression on the Ras Isa oil port in Hodeidah province, has risen to 74, with 171 wounded, with a provisional toll, according to the ministry of health in Sana’a.
The port was severely damaged on Thursday after a series of bombings by the United States, marking one of the most severe escalations in the American military aggression against Yemen in recent weeks.
According to local sources, US warplanes carried out 14 attacks on the Ras Issa port, resulting in the martyrdom of several workers at the site.
The sources added that the site was targeted again while civil defense crews were attempting to rescue victims, leading to the martyrdom and injury of several emergency responders.
According to the Hodeidah Health Office, medical teams are making enormous efforts to treat those wounded and burned in the brutal US assault on the Ras Issa facility.
This latest US escalation has only worsened the humanitarian crisis for Yemeni civilians, as Washington fails to achieve a military victory and instead resorts to desperate pressure tactics to force Yemen to halt its support for Gaza.
The US launched an air campaign against Yemen, beginning on March 15, 2025, following Yemen’s decision to resume retaliatory attacks on Israel in response to Israel’s intensified crimes in Gaza.
Since the initiation of the air campaign, US forces have targeted civilian infrastructure throughout Yemen, including communication networks, power plants, and water reservoirs, on an almost daily basis.
[IsraelTimes] Airstrikes in Ras Isa are deadliest yet since America began targeting the Iran-backed rebels in response to their attacks on ships and Israel
US strikes on a Yemeni fuel port killed at least 80 people, Houthi rebels said Friday, in the deadliest attack of Washington’s 15-month campaign against the Iran-backed group. Thursday’s strikes on Ras Isa aimed to cut off supplies and funds for the rebels that control large swathes of the Arabian Peninsula’s poorest country, the US military said.
Images broadcast by a Houthi-run television channel showed large blazes lighting up the night sky following the latest in an intensified barrage of attacks under US President Donald Trump. Houthi media later reported fresh strikes in and around the capital Sanaa on Friday night.
Houthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi said rescuers were still searching for bodies at the fuel terminal on the Red Sea, suggesting the number of dead could rise.
The rebels’ Al-Masirah TV, citing local officials, said the toll from the strike had “risen to 80 dead and 150 wounded.”
The Houthis later announced missile attacks targeting Israel and two US aircraft carriers. Israel’s military said on Friday it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen.
The US military has hammered the Houthis with near-daily air strikes for the past month in a bid to stamp out their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
Earlier on Friday, when the Ras Isa toll stood at 74, Alabashi said the overall number of deaths from renewed US strikes since March was 198.
In a statement, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said: “US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue that has funded Houthi efforts to terrorize the entire region for over 10 years.”
Al-Masirah TV, citing authorities at the port, said the attack had caused “significant damage” that “will affect navigation and the supply of oil.”
The US strikes began in January 2024 but have multiplied under Trump, starting with an offensive that killed 53 people on March 15.
SHIPPING ATTACKS
Israel carried out airstrikes on Ras Isa and elsewhere in Yemen in January, describing the targets as military infrastructure. Similar Israeli strikes that also included Ras Isa took place in September.
“The message today is unmistakable: the US is targeting not only Houthi military assets and personnel, but also their economic infrastructure,” Albasha said.
Houthi attacks on the Red Sea shipping route, which normally carries about 12 percent of global trade, have forced many companies into costly detours around the tip of southern Africa.
Separately, US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce accused the Chinese satellite firm Chang Guang Satellite Technology Company of “directly supporting” Houthi attacks on “US interests.” Bruce did not initially provide details, but later referred to “a Chinese company providing satellite imagery to the Houthis.”
[IsraelTimes] One employee shot and killed this week, police say, though motives are unclear; local Islamist group says it supports boycotts of Israel but has not called for assaults
Police have arrested scores of people in Pakistan in recent weeks after more than 10 mob attacks on outlets of US fast-food chain KFC, sparked by anti-United States sentiment and opposition to its ally Israel’s war in Gaza, officials said.
Police in major cities in the Islamic nation, including the southern port city of Karachi, the eastern city of Lahore and the capital Islamabad, confirmed at least 11 incidents in which KFC outlets were attacked by protesters armed with sticks and vandalized. At least 178 people were arrested, the officials said this week.
KFC and its parent company, Yum Brands YUM.N, both US-based, did not respond to requests for comment.
A police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said one KFC employee was shot and killed this week in a store on the outskirts of Lahore by unknown gunmen. The official added that there was no protest at the time and that they were investigating whether the killing was motivated by political sentiment.
In Lahore, police said they were ramping up security at 27 KFC outlets around the city after two attacks, while five others were prevented.
“We are investigating the role of different individuals and groups in these attacks,” said Faisal Kamran, a senior Lahore police officer, adding that 11 people, including a member of the Islamist religious party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), were arrested in the city. He added that the protests were not officially organized by TLP.
TLP spokesman Rehan Mohsin Khan said the group “has urged Muslims to boycott Israeli products, but it has not given any call for protest outside KFC.”
“If any other person claiming to be a TLP leader or activist has indulged in such activity, it should be taken as his personal act which has nothing to do with the party’s policy,” Khan said.
KFC has long been viewed as a symbol of the United States in Pakistan and has borne the brunt of anti-American sentiment in recent decades with protests and attacks.
Western brands have been hit by boycotts and other forms of protest in Pakistan and other Muslim-majority countries in recent months over Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip, following the Hamas deadly onslaught of October 7, 2023.
Yum Brands has said one of its other brands, Pizza Hut, has faced a protracted impact from boycotts related to Israel’s war in Gaza.
In Pakistan, local brands have made inroads into its fast-growing cola market as some consumers avoid US brands. In 2023, Coca-Cola’s market share in the consumer sector in Pakistan fell to 5.7% from 6.3% in 2022, according to GlobalData, while PepsiCo’s fell to 10.4% from 10.8%.
Earlier this month, religious clerics in Pakistan called for a boycott of any products or brands that they say support Israel or the American economy, but asked people to stay peaceful and not destroy property.
[Rudaw] Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) announced on Thursday that they had located and disrupted an 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) fuel supply network in western Anbar province.
"In a qualitative security operation, the Anbar Operations Command in the Popular Mobilization Forces located fuel supply outlets for the terrorist ISIS in the western Anbar desert," read a statement from the PMF.
The discovery was made through a targeted operation relying on intelligence gathering and field monitoring, and led to the disruption of key supply lines used by ISIS to move and carry out attacks, said Qasim Muslih, commander of Anbar operations, according to the statement.
The Iraqi forces seized 15,000 liters of fuel, along with pumps, tanks, and barrels, and located a fuel station used by ISIS in the al-Ka'ara area, deep in the western desert.
Muslih said the operation marked an important step in weakening ISIS and that intelligence and field efforts will continue to pursue the remaining ISIS turbans and cut off their sources of support.
Iraqi security forces have largely eradicated ISIS from the country, with only a few hundred turbans believed to be operating in isolated regions, the head of the military’s Security Media Cell told Rudaw in February.
Anbar’s desert regions along the border with Syria is one of the hotspots of jihadist activity.
ISIS seized control of swathes of territory in 2014, declaring a so-called caliphate in vast stretches of northern and central Iraq as well as across the border in Syria. The jihadists’ rule in Iraq was brought to an end in 2017 when Iraqi and Kurdish fighters, supported by a United States-led international coalition, clawed back territory.
[IsraelTimes] Some Israelis injured rushing to shelter, ambulance service says; sirens across central Israel and West Bank preceded by glitchy first-ever use of early warning system
A ballistic missile launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen was successfully intercepted by air defenses Friday morning, the military said, adding that it was probing glitches in an early alert system it had just rolled out.
There were no immediate reports of injuries as a direct result of the attack. The Magen David Adom ambulance service said it had fielded calls about people injured while rushing to a shelter.
Firefighters battled a large blaze in the Jerusalem hills, close to the city of Beit Shemesh, apparently sparked by shrapnel from an interceptor missile that fell near the Netifim Cave, also known as the Soreq or Absalom Cave. The tourist site was briefly closed due to the fire, which was successfully extinguished after several hours.
Palestinian media also reported that shrapnel from an interceptor missile was found close to Beit Fajjar, near Bethlehem in the southern West Bank.
The missile launch came after Houthi media reported dozens of people were killed overnight in US strikes on western Yemen’s Ras Isa fuel port, which is held by the Iran-backed rebels. It was the deadliest strike yet in the US bombing campaign against Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping.
Sirens sounded at about 6:36 a.m. across central Israel, in the Jerusalem area, including parts of the capital, and in some West Bank settlements. Flights to and from Ben Gurion Airport were slightly delayed following the sirens, the Ynet news site reported.
For the first time, the IDF Home Front Command used a new system to alert civilians of the missile attack via a push notification on their phones 3-5 minutes before sirens sounded. The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit also issued, for the first time, an early statement about the missile launch, some four minutes before the sirens sounded.
However, some Israelis reported that they did not receive the early alert. The IDF acknowledged that the early warning system did not work correctly in some areas, resulting in civilians not receiving the notification.
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yemen’s Houthi rebels have launched more than 20 ballistic missiles and several drones at Israel. About half of the missiles fell short of Israel, while others set off sirens in the country before being shot down.
The attacks have greatly raised the Houthis’ profile as they faced economic problems, and they have also launched a crackdown targeting any internal dissent, as well as targeting foreign aid workers, amid Yemen’s decade-long stalemated war, which has torn apart the Arab world’s poorest nation. The war against Yemen’s Saudi-backed government left the Houthis in control of the capital Sanaa and much of the country’s western coast.
[IsraelTimes] The Houthi rebels in Yemen claim responsibility for a missile launch toward the center of the country this morning. In a statement released by the Houthi military spokesperson, they claim to have targeted Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel.
The missile was successfully intercepted by Israeli air defenses. Sirens had sounded across central Israel, in the Jerusalem area, and in some West Bank settlements.
[IsraelTimes] Hamas-controlled civil defense says 24 people killed in overnight strikes; army general visits Gaza after soldiers complain of insufficient food during Passover holiday
The Israeli Air Force struck some 40 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past day, the military said on Friday, with targets including terror operatives, buildings used by terror groups and weapons depots, as troops continue to operate on the ground across the Strip.
Palestinians said that at least 24 people were killed in the strikes.
In the Tel Sultan and Shaboura areas of southern Gaza’s Rafah, the military said, troops of the Gaza Division destroyed Hamas infrastructure and killed several operatives during an ambush.
In northern Gaza, the 252nd Division destroyed a weapons depot and directed drone strikes on operatives, the army said.
Additionally, during recent operations in Gaza City’s eastern neighborhood of Shejaiya, the IDF said reservists of the Jerusalem Brigade, now in their fourth round of reserve duty in Gaza, located several tunnels and a weapons depot.
The military said the operations in Shejaiya are intended to expand a buffer zone along the Gaza border. The area is relatively elevated and overlooks the Israeli border communities of Nahal Oz, Kfar Aza and Sa’ad.
This past week, the IDF said the reserve brigade eliminated a cell of operatives that was planning a sniper attack on the forces.
The tunnels and weapon depot located by the reservists were demolished by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, the army added.
Gaza’s Hamas-controlled civil defense agency said that 24 people were killed in strikes across Gaza, including 10 people were killed in an overnight attack near the southern city of Khan Younis.
“Our crews recovered the bodies of 10 martyrs and a large number of injuries from the house of the Baraka family and the neighboring houses targeted by the Israeli occupation forces in the Bani Suhaila area east of Khan Younis,” spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said on Telegram.
The agency also reported at least 14 others allegedly killed in multiple Israeli strikes across the territory, including at least two strikes which it said hit tents sheltering displaced people.
There was no immediate IDF comment on the specific strikes in question. Israel has said, in general, that it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.
War zones are, by definition, dangerous places. Especially when one is a designated human shield or near a target.
[IsraelTimes] The Guardian
…which caters to the self-righteous, educated bigots of the Left among the British reading classes, feeding them an endless variation of their preferred lies…
reports on a young Gazan photojournalist, Fatima Hassouna, who it says was killed in an Israeli strike in northern Gaza this week.
Hassouna, 25, was killed along with 10 members of her family, including her pregnant sister, the report says.
Hassouna was the subject of a documentary set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
The IDF says the strike targeted a Hamas operative involved in attacks on soldiers and civilians.
[IsraelTimes] Prosecutors in the State Attorney’s Office filed an indictment today against two minors, an Israeli and a Palestinian, who are said to have sworn allegiance to ISIS and planned an elaborate terror attack on a Lod synagogue.
The Arab Israeli minor is accused of making contact with members and supporters of ISIS on social media since around August 2024 and swearing allegiance to the terror group soon after.
According to prosecutors, the minor’s contact in ISIS suggested he carry out an attack in Israel, to which he agreed, and settled on a synagogue in Lod as his target for a shooting attack. After the two defendants met in Hebron, the Israeli minor convinced his Palestinian accomplice to swear allegiance to ISIS as well and enlisted him in his plot.
Prosecutors say the pair sought to carry out their attack during Shabbat morning prayers, when the synagogue would be full of worshipers. One of them was to distract the security guard at the entrance while the other would attack him with a poisoned knife, steal his gun and open fire on the congregation. A poisoned knife? How dramatic
After the minors’ main contact in ISIS was arrested in Jordan, their plan was abandoned.
The State Attorney’s Office nevertheless notes that “even after that, the Israeli minor maintained his contact with ISIS-supporting actors… and expressed a desire to carry out terrorist acts.”
It is unclear whether the Palestinian minor remained active in ISIS circles.
[IsraelTimes] Palestinian Authority news agency identifies suspects as 17 and 19, says 20-year-old also wounded in incident near Nablus amid expansion of IDF offensive in the area
IDF troops on Thursday evening killed two Paleostinian teenagers who were allegedly hurling stones at Israeli motorists near Nablus in the northern West Bank, amid a recent expansion of the military’s counter-terrorism operation in the area.
According to the IDF, soldiers of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit were waiting in an ambush outside the town of Usarin when they spotted three Paleostinians hurling stones at cars on a nearby highway. The soldiers opened fire on the suspects, killing two and wounding the third, the IDF said.
WAFA, the Paleostinian Authority’s official news agency, said the troops opened fire during a confrontation with residents of the area following a military raid in nearby Usarin.
The news agency identified the slain Paleostinians as Jihad Adham Edeili, 17, and Saif Ghassan Edeili, 19. The maimed Paleostinian is aged 20, WAFA reported.
According to WAFA, the bodies of the two dead assailants are being withheld by the IDF. The military’s statement on the incident did not mention if it was holding the bodies.
The killings came a day after two American tourists were maimed in the West Bank when assailants threw stones and a paint bottle at a tour bus near Burqa, east of Ramallah, according to the IDF.
Since January 21, the IDF has been carrying out a major offensive in the northern West Bank, dubbed Operation Iron Wall, focusing mainly on the areas of Jenin and Tulkarem. The military announced last week that it had expanded the operation to the area of Nablus.
Tens of thousands of Paleostinians have been displaced in the offensive, according to UN Paleostinian refugee agency UNRWA.
The offensive followed a spike in West Bank violence since October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... -led Death Eaters stormed southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages, sparking the war 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 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... Since the Hamas onslaught, troops have arrested some 6,000 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,350 affiliated with Hamas.
According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 900 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or Death Eaters carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 51 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
[IsraelTimes] … including the head of the terror group’s communications south of the Litani River
Two Hezbollah operatives were killed in separate Israeli drone strikes in southern Lebanon on Friday, the military announced, as the terror group ruled out any talk of disarmament until Israel withdraws from its five strategic points in the country.
A strike in the coastal Lebanese city of Sidon on Friday morning targeted Muhammad Abdullah, the Israel Defense Forces said.
Abdullah was responsible for the deployment of the Iran-backed terror group’s communication systems across Lebanon, especially in areas south of the Litani River, according to the IDF.
“The activities of the terrorists in the recent period constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and pose a threat to the State of Israel and its citizens,” the IDF added.
At the scene of the strike, members of the security forces stood guard as a crowd gathered to look at the charred remains of the vehicle after firemen had put out the blaze.
Separately, the IDF said it killed a Hezbollah operative in a drone strike in southern Lebanon’s Ayta ash-Shab on Friday.
The operative was involved in “terror activity,” according to the military.
Friday’s strikes came a day after the IDF said it killed a Hezbollah commander in a drone strike in southern Lebanon’s Blida.
The strike targeted Ali Ibar al-Nabi Khadi, the deputy commander of Hezbollah’s forces in the Mhaibib area, according to the military.
[Rudaw] Kurdish-led forces in northeast Syria (Rojava) said they clashed with 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) in Deir ez-Zor province on Thursday.
"Our forces clashed with an ISIS terrorist cell in the town of al-Tayanah east of Deir ez-Zor. ISIS terrorist cells continue to make strenuous efforts to destabilize the security and stability of north and east Syria, in a persistent attempt to exploit the prevailing state of chaos in Syria," read a statement from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The ISIS jihadists targeted an SDF position and one support vehicle with an RPG, causing only material damage, according to the statement.
Deir ez-Zor province is located in eastern Syria and borders Iraq.
The SDF, the de facto army of Rojava, fought the lion’s share of the battle to drive ISIS out of Syria and arrested thousands of the group’s fighters. The Kurdish-led force holds around 10,000 ISIS prisoners and more than 40,000 people with ISIS ties, mostly wives and children of jihadists, at al-Hol camp.
After the fall of the regime of Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Light of the Alawites... , the United States-led coalition against ISIS and the SDF have sought to keep ISIS from regaining their footing in the new security landscape.
ISIS swept through large swathes of Syria and Iraq in 2014. Despite their territorial defeat in 2019, the group continues to carry out bombings, hit-and-run attacks, and abductions.

[Rudaw] Internal security forces in northeast Syria (Rojava) announced on Friday a new operation targeting 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.

…sometimes transliterated as Hawl…
where it said the jihadists are stepping up efforts to reorganize and carry out attacks.
The Asayish and the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), with support from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), "announce today the launch of a security campaign to comb al-Hol camp and its surroundings," the Asayish said in a statement.
The force said ISIS has launched several attacks targeting both civilians and security personnel and is ramping up efforts to rebuild its ranks and capabilities.
"In recent times, our region has witnessed many developments and events, both in military and political fields. These developments have given ISIS cells the opportunity to increase their movement and carry out terrorist acts," the statement said.
A focus for the bad boy group is al-Hol camp in Hasaka province that holds around 40,000 people from around the world, mostly Iraqis and Syrians, with alleged links to ISIS.
The camp "is seen as the fuse of a present and future disaster, especially due to the lack of fundamental solutions from the international community that leaves the heavy burden on the Autonomous Administration," the statement said, referring to the Rojava administration.
The camp has drawn international concern for its poor conditions and the risk its youth are being radicalized. The Iraqi government is slowly repatriating its citizens, but many nations have resisted taking responsibility for their nationals because of security concerns, despite repeated pleas by the Rojava administration.
The Asayish said ISIS has tried to smuggle people out of the camp and systematically targeted children and youth in the camp to indoctrinate them and spread its ideology. Humanitarian aid centers in the camp have also been attacked, they added.
The situation has worsened "after international support for the camp was cut off," the Asayish said. Humanitarian organizations operating in northeast Syria have been impacted by cuts to USAID.
ISIS captured vast swathes of Iraqi and Syrian territory in 2014. The group’s so-called caliphate was dismantled in 2019, but the jihadists remain a security threat. ISIS has tried to take advantage of the changing security landscape in Syria after the fall of the regime of Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Scourge of Qusayr... .
