Afghanistan
Pakistani Shelling Kills Three In Kunar, Officials Say
[ToloNews] At least three students were killed on Thursday when Pak military cross-border shelling hit a Madrasa in the eastern province of Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
, local officials said.

According to officials, Pak military have once again resumed shelling on parts of Shultan district.

A front man for the provincial governor, Abdul Ghani Musamim, said that 180 missiles hit the district and one of the missiles hit a Madrasa, and three students--aged 9, 12 and 13--were killed.

...One of the more egregious mistakes of the post 9-11 era...
condemned the shelling from the Pakistain side and asked Pakistain to stop.

"The Pakistain military's repeated attacks on Kunar are acts of aggression against our soil and blatant violations of international law. I call on the government of Pakistain to stop these attacks immediately and prevent further damage to relations between the two countries, and to adopt a peaceful and civilized attitude towards Afghanistan," Karzai said in a tweet.

In May 2019 Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) summoned the charge d'affaires of Pakistain’s embassy to denounce cross-Durand Line shelling by Pak military on parts of Afghanistan.

Militants kill eight in deadly ambush in Egypt's Sinai

[Jpost] Seven soldiers and one civilian were killed in an ambush in Egypt's North Sinai region on Friday, security sources said, in an attack claimed by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

India-Pakistan
India imposes tough new restrictions in Occupied Kashmir
[TRIBUNE.PK] Security forces imposed tough new restrictions in Indian Occupied Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
(IOK) on Friday.

Concrete and razor wire barricades went up across Srinagar and other towns in the disputed Moslem-majority territory, which has been under lockdown since New Delhi scrapped IOK’s semi-autonomous status in early August.

The Modi’s administration’s move has sparked new tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
Barricades went up across roads and bridges in Srinagar as occupation forces in bulletproof gear guarded deserted streets following orders to stop any public rallies.

"The hospital is just a mile away from my home, but I have already walked three times the distance and am still not sure how long I need to walk to reach there," said Mudasir Ahmad, after pleading with soldiers to let him pass at one barrier in Srinagar’s old town.

Ahmad said he wanted to visit a sick relative at the hospital. He was one of many residents on the streets who were stopped and redirected by soldiers.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Palestinian said killed, 28 injured in Friday riots along Gaza border
[IsraelTimes] 7,000 take part in weekly protests; several hundred riot, throwing bombs and rocks at troops who respond with tear gas and occasional live fire.

A Paleostinian man was killed by Israeli fire during riots along the 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 an iron fist by Hamaswith 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...
-Israel border fence on Friday, according to the Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,-run health ministry, as thousands took part in weekly protests.

Sahar Othman, 20, was shot by Israeli forces in the chest near Rafah in southern Gaza, the ministry said in a statement, adding that 28 Paleostinians were maimed.

The Israel Defense Forces had no immediate comment on the death, but earlier said over 7,000 Paleostinians took part in the day’s protests with some rioters throwing rocks and explosives at the security fence and at troops along the border.

The rioters also burned tires and threw fire bombs and one Paleostinian briefly crossed into Israeli territory before immediately returning to the other side of the border. One military vehicle was lightly damaged when hit by an bomb, but no injuries were reported, the IDF said.

The army responded with tear gas and occasional live fire.

UN Special Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov, who has been involved in brokering ceasefires between Israel and Hamas, has continuously called on Israel to refrain from directing live fire at the largely unarmed protesters.

Last Friday, more that 8,000 Paleostinians protested along the Gaza border, with 76 of them injured by Israeli riot dispersal measures.

Jihadist media coordinator killed in Syrian Army attack
[ALMASDARNEWS] A jihadist media coordinator was recently killed in a Syrian Arab Army (SAA) attack in the southern countryside of the Idlib Governorate.

According to the jihadist-owned Ebaa News Agency, the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
media coordinator Ahmad Mustafa al-Yahya (AKA "Abu Qassem al-Jabhat") was killed by the Syrian Arab Army in the al-Ghaab Plain region of the Idlib Governorate this week.

Several pro-jihadist media channels would pay tribute to the HTS military news hound in their social media feeds on Friday, as they commemorated the latter’s effort to provide reports from the front-lines.

Since the start of the Syrian war, several field news hounds and media activists have been killed on both sides, with the majority of the casualties coming at the front-lines.

Early reports of new Russian airstrike on jihadist positions in west Idlib
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian Air Force has allegedly bombed the jihadist forces in the western countryside of the Idlib Governorate this afternoon, pro-militant activists reported from the area.

According to their claims, the Russian Air Force bombed the town of al-Sirmaniyeh and its surroundings, which, if true, would mark the first time in a month that they have launched Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s over this part of the Idlib Governorate.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has not confirmed these claims and the last time Russian airstrikes were reported in Syria, Moscow denied the reports.

At the same time, the Syrian Arab Air Force is conducting raids in the area, with their attack choppers concentrating their strikes on the nearby town of Kabani in northeastern Latakia.

Al-Sirmaniyeh and Kabani are both under the control of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
and the Turkestan Islamic Party; these are two jihadist groups that control most of western Idlib and northeast Latakia.

Demonstrations continue in rural Deir Ezzor, protesters demand withdrawal of Syrian Army
[ALMASDARNEWS] Tens of people protested at the al-Salihiyah crossing in rural Deir Ezzor, Friday, as they continued to demand that the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their allies withdraw from the area.

According to local reports, the protesters demanded that the Syrian Army and their allies fully withdraw from the eastern bank of the Euphrates.

The protesters said they want the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to replace the army in this rural area.

At the same time, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported about protests against the Syrian Democratic Forces in the al-Tabaqa area of al-Raqqa.

The Syrian government has previously called on the SDF to hand over the territories they control in the al-Raqqa Governorate, including Raqqa city.

Russia ships more military equipment to Syria: photos
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian Ministry of Defense shipped more military equipment to Syria this week as the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their allies prepare for a new offensive in the Latakia Governorate and al-Ghaab Plain region.

According to maritime shipping observer Yoruk Isik, the U.S. sanctioned Russian Pizhma fat merchantman recently transited the Bosphorus Strait that links the Mediterranean and Black seas.

The type of military cargo on the ship is not known; however, the Russian Armed Forces typically transport new equipment to Syria as new operations near.

The next major Syrian military operation is expected to take place in the al-Ghaab Plain; this will coincide with another offensive in the northeastern region of the Latakia Governorate.

The goal of this army operation will be to secure the Idlib-Latakia axis, while also putting their forces in position to strike the key city of Jisr al-Shughour near the Ottoman Turkish border.

Iran releases seized UK-flagged tanker
Yes, we did have an article about the ship sailing off two days ago (see related article, below), but apparently now it’s really left.
[Rudaw] A British-flagged oil tanker held by Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
since July was released Friday and was heading toward the United Arab Emirates, the company that owns the vessel said.

Iran’s marine and port authority said the Stena Impero left Iran Friday morning. Hours earlier, the tanker had begun transmitting its location for the first time in weeks just outside the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, where it had been held since its July 19 seizure.

The head of the Swedish shipping firm Stena Bulk that owns the tanker said it "has been a long wait" for the vessel and its crew to be released.

Company president and CEO Erik Hanell said the ship’s seizure "has meant an enormous pressure for us all, especially for the crew." The ship was headed to Dubai, where the crew would disembark and undergo medical checks.

Hannel said the vessel appeared to be in good condition and "hopefully it will be on duty within a week or so," speaking by telephone with Swedish television.

The ship tracking website MarineTraffic.com showed the Stena Impero heading south from Iran at a speed of just over 14 mph (22 kph).

Iran seized the tanker on July 19 in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20 percent of all oil passes. The raid saw commandos rappel down onto the vessel via helicopter carrying assault rifles, dramatic images later replayed on state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?The seizure came after British marines helped take control of an Iranian supertanker on July 4. Authorities in Gibraltar, a British overseas territory, seized the ship carrying $130 million in crude oil on suspicion it was breaking Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an Union sanctions by taking the oil to Syria. Gibraltar later released the tanker, then called the Grace 1, after it said Iran promised the ship wouldn’t go to Syria.

That ship, renamed the Adrian Darya 1, later sat off the Syrian coast, angering Britannia. Iran hasn’t said who purchased its 2.1 million barrels of crude oil.

On Monday, Iranian government front man Ali Rabiei had told journalists the Stena Impero could leave. But the ship remained outside Bandar Abbas until Friday.

Earlier this month, Iran released seven crew members of the Stena Impero. Sixteen stayed on board.

Britannia has responded to Iran’s release of the tanker Friday by accusing Tehran of trying to disrupt freedom of navigation.

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the ship "was unlawfully seized by Iran."

He said the seizure was "part of a pattern of attempts to disrupt freedom of navigation. We are working with our international partners to protect shipping and uphold the international rule of law."
