[ALMASDARNEWS] A series of intense clashes broke-out inside the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah after the Saudi-backed Yemeni National Army attacked a group of Houthi fighters, local activists reported on Monday.
According to the activists, the Yemeni National Army attacked the Houthi forces at the southeastern axis of Hodeidah city.
The reports did not indicate why the Yemeni National Army attacked the Houthi forces; however, tensions have been rising lately as the Saudi Coalition accused the Houthi forces of refusing to leave Hodeidah.
At the start of the year, the United Nations announced the start of a ceasefire inside the Hodeidah Governorate.
Since the implementation of the U.N.-sponsored ceasefire, both sides have exchanged weekly hostilities while avoiding all-out war inside Hodeidah.

[FoxNews] Tensions between two of the world's nuclear powers were raised dramatically Wednesday after Pakistan's air force said it shot down two Indian warplanes that crossed the disputed Kashmir border and captured each of the aircraft's pilots.
Police officials in Indian-occupied Kashmir told Reuters two Indian pilots and a civilian on the ground died when the planes crashed. The officials did not confirm the planes were shot down by Pakistani forces.
Raveesh Kumar, a spokesman for India's Ministry of External Affairs, also claimed an Indian plane shot down a Pakistani fighter jet -- although Pakistan denied any of its jets had been hit and photographic evidence had yet to emerge.

India acknowledged the loss of a MIG-21 which crashed in Pakistan controlled territory. Pakistan claims to have captured the pilot of that aircraft.
It seems the other plane (probably also a MIG) went down in Indian controlled territory and the casualties reported are from that crash.

India also operates an extensively upgraded version of the antiquated MiG-21 called the Bison, which has proven to be surprisingly effective—if crash prone. With their upgraded Phazotron Kopyo radar—which is capable of simultaneously tracking eight targets—the Indian MiG-21s are able to attack targets beyond visual range with Russian-made Vympel R-77 radar-guided missiles.
The Indian MiG-21s also incorporate helmet mounted cueing systems and the ability to carry the R-73 Archer dogfighting missile. That combination makes the aged jet a formidable adversary close in even against a much more modern aircraft. In fact, the Indians MiG-21s fared well even against Boeing F-15C Eagle during a Cope India exercise in 2004 —granted the U.S. Air Force was operating with restrictive rules of engagement.
However, while the Romanian and Indian MiGs were upgraded with new avionics, not much was done to upgrade their airframe structure. But conceivably, the even the ancient MiG-21 would still be viable with a refurbished airframe and cutting edge avionics. While no nations has opted to do that, Israel made a deal to supply fourteen refurbished and extensively modernized Israel Aerospace Industries F-21 Kfir fighters to Argentina—which is also a forty-year-old platform. The airframe is being completely refurbished to an almost “new” state and the aircraft’s General Electric J79 turbojets will be supplied in a “zero-hour” condition after a complete overhaul, according to my colleague Arie Egozi at Flight International. An engine replacement/overhaul would be required after 1,600 flight hours.
[IsraelTimes] The munitions used by Indian fighter jets in a rare strike against targets deep inside Pakistain overnight Monday were Israeli-made SPICE 2000 smart bombs, according to Indian media.
The SPICE ‐ standing for Smart, Precise Impact, Cost-Effective ‐ was created by the government-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. The approximately 1,000 kilogram (2,200 pound) air-to-ground missile was launched by Indian Mirage fighter jets.
The powerful missile uses GPS coordinates to locate a target and on-board cameras to ensure that the munition is striking the correct location.
India’s ties with Israel have warmed in recent years, particularly in the area of military cooperation and weapons development, exchanging billions of dollars in defense contracts.
[NATION.PK] A meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree... on Tuesday rejected Indian claims of targeting an alleged terrorist camp near Balakot.
The meeting, chaired by the premier in the wake of India's violation of the Line of Control (LoC), was attended by the top civil and military leadership, including Army Chief General Qamar Jawed Bajwa and ministers of defence and foreign affairs.
A handout released after the NSC meeting stated the forum strongly rejected Indian claims of targeting an alleged terrorist camp near Balakot and the claim of heavy casualties. Once again Indian government has resorted to a self-serving, reckless and fictitious claim, the handout added.
This action has been done for domestic consumption given the election environment, putting regional peace and stability at grave risk, the NSC said.
The claimed area of strike is open for the world to see the facts on ground. Domestic and international media is being taken to the impact site, it added.
The forum concluded that India has committed uncalled for aggression to which Pakistain shall respond at the time and place of its choosing.
To take the nation on board, the govt has decided to requisition joint session of the Parliament, the handout released after the NSC meeting further stated.
PM Imran has summoned a special meeting of National Command Authority (NCA) on February 27. PM has directed that elements of national power, including the Armed Forces and the people of Pakistain, to remain prepared for all eventualities.
The premier has decided to engage with global leadership to expose irresponsible Indian policy in the region, the handout further read.

...I'm actually not that worried about the Pak government ordering a nuclear strike, for two reasons: First, they may be evil, but they're not crazy. Secondly, you don't really understand just how dangerous to you the damned things are until you've got them.
My worry is that some dumbsh!t Paki lieutenant is going to decide to defend his country's honor all on his own. These people ain't Strategic Air Command circa 1960, with Curtis Lemay at the top, hypertrained professionals down from there, and ironclad regs and procedures inbetween. Their C3 is probably close to nonexistent, and I'd be willing to bet there's nothing even remotely close to the security and Permissive Action Links we take for granted.

[IsraelTimes] Terrorists were planning bombings, Israeli TV says; PA security official won"t confirm or deny report.
The Paleostinian Authority security forces recently collared a six-person Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",-led cell in Nablus that was preparing to carry out terrorist attacks in Israel employing bombs, Channel 12 news reported earlier this week, without citing a source.
The PA security forces first tossed in the clink Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! the commander of the cell, a Hamas terror group operative whose deputy chief, Saleh al-Arouri, transferred $50,000 through the United Arab Emirates, and then nabbed its remaining five members, the report said.
The entirety of the cell, which was receiving orders from the Gazoo Strip and Leb, did not belong to Hamas, the report added, stating that its commander had recruited persons unaffiliated with the terror group in an effort to make it more difficult for the PA security forces and Israeli intelligence to identify them.
A PA security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he could not confirm or deny the details of the report, but noted Ramallah’s security forces constantly work to crack down on all Hamas terror activity in the West Bank.
"We have very clear orders to stamp out Hamas military activity and we are always making efforts to that end," he told The Times of Israel on Monday. "We confiscate every transfer of funds to Hamas from Gazoo or abroad. We also regularly arrest its members we suspect of planning operations and take away their weapons."
Since Hamas ousted the Fatah-dominated PA from Gazoo in 2007, Ramallah has made substantial efforts to wipe out Hamas’s military and financial infrastructure in the West Bank.
The security official said the PA security forces were taking action against Hamas’s military activities to protect Paleostinians, but also Israelis.
"We are undertaking this work to safeguard our people and make certain they live in a stable environment. We have no interest in allowing the West Bank to turn into another Gazoo," he said, adding that Ramallah also wants to ensure Hamas harms no Israeli.
The official said that recent tensions between the PA and Israel have not affected Ramallah’s willingness to confront Hamas activities in the West Bank.
"We remain committed to doing this work," he said. "We are not politicians, but rather professionals concerned with ensuring safety and stability here."
Israel’s security cabinet decided last week to approve withholding NIS 500 million ($138 million) of tax revenues from the Paleostinian Authority.
The decision was a move to start implementing a new law that permits Israel to withhold tax money from Ramallah over payments the PA makes to security prisoners and the families of dead attackers.
Israel collects sales, customs, and excise taxes on behalf of the Paleostinians every month, and transfers them to the PA’s coffers.
PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... has condemned Israel for moving to withhold the funds, arguing that the Israeli decision amounts to "piracy" of Paleostinian funds.
Israeli officials have defended the move, arguing that the PA’s policy of paying security prisoners and slain faceless myrmidons incentivizes violence and terrorism.
Abbas has also said the Paleostinians would not accept any of the taxes Israel collects on behalf of the PA, if it does not transfer the full amount to Ramallah.
If the PA follows through, it could place itself in dire financial straits, as it would be turning down its largest source of income.
Citing Paleostinian officials, Rooters reported last week that Israel currently collects and transfers NIS 800 million ($222 million) in total taxes to the PA every month. Avi Dichter, the chair of the Knesset Defense Committee, has said Israel would spread out the withholding of the tax money over 12 months, meaning approximately 5 percent of each month’s NIS 800 million would be withheld.
[AnNahar] Hundreds of suspected jihadists and their relatives exited the last Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

The huge double-trailer trucks snaked towards a screening point manned by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces across the plain from Baghouz, the last hamlet still held by IS.
Women could be seen spilling out of the trucks as SDF fighters prepared to screen yet another batch of survivors from the last speck of the jihadist "caliphate".
On Monday alone, 46 such trucks left the IS pocket, bringing to around 50,000 the number of people who quit jihadist-held territory since December.
Among them were thousands of suspected jihadists who tried to blend in with civilians in a desperate attempt to save their lives before a final assault by the Kurdish-led SDF.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The leader of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS), His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...the head of ISIS, or what remains of it, and a veteran of the Abu Graib jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us. So far he has been killed at least four times, though not yet by a stake through the heart... , may be hiding inside the terrorist group’s last enclave in the Euphrates River Valley region, veteran journalist Elijah Magnier reported on Tuesday.
"There are strong indications ISIS top ranking leaders are in the city, probably including Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi," a high ranking Iraqi intelligence official told Magnier.
Citing the Iraqi official, Magnier said his source relied on intelligence information that was collected from Iraqis that are currently operating inside the Baghouz area of Deir Ezzor.
"There is a serious shortage of food and medicine in Baghuz forcing ISIS leadership to reduce the burden by asking civilians and families of forces of Evil to leave. The 1000 or 1500 forces of Evil remaining in the city can survive longer rationing what is left and are ready to fight to the death. Fighters get used to bombing and ISIS has enough experience in tunnel digging and the setup of underground shelters for command and control leadership and fighters to wait out an infantry assault," the source told Magnier.
The reason for believing al-Baghdadi is still inside this Euphrates pocket is due to the fact that the terrorist leader has not released any broadcasts since August 2018.
According to Magnier, the terrorist leader would most likely release a broadcast to encourage his fighters in the Euphrates enclave if he wasn’t inside this area.
In many previous battles, including djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... and al-Raqqa, the Islamic State leader has released audio messages to his fighters to fend off the opposing forces.
