No conflicts tracked in the past 24 hours, nothing of interest in the next 24 hours. Is the war shutting down for the winter?
[ShabelleMedia] Somali National Army backed by local community fighters engaged in a deadly battle with al-Shabaab ...... the personification of Somali state failure... in Hiran region, an official said.
Colonial Abdullahi Ali Anod, Somali military spokesperson said the fighting took place in El-Harari area in Hiran region, where the SNA took over from the bully boyz on Thursday.
The nearly two-day combat left more than 100 combatants belonging to al-Shabaab dead, according to the front man.
Anod who spoke to the state media said the troops also fended off a car kaboom on their base in Masjidka Ali Gadud, newly recovered area in Middle Shabelle region.
There’s was no independent source verifying the military claims and al-Shabaab is yet to comment on the festivities.
[ALAHRAM] Six police were wounded Thursday in the latest prison riot to hit Ecuador, officials said, as the country is gripped by violence blamed on organized crime groups waging a deadly drug war.
The six were hurt while trying to put down an uprising at the infamous Guayas 1 prison in southwestern port city Guayaquil, police said on Twitter.
A source at the SNAI prison authority who asked not to be named told AFP that the police officers were confronted by inmates with guns and explosives.
Ecuador -- once a relatively peaceful neighbor of major cocaine producers Colombia and Peru -- has seen a wave of violent crime that authorities blame on turf battles between gangs with ties to Mexican cartels.
Civilians have increasingly been caught up in the bloodshed that has claimed more than 60 police lives since last year.
Hundreds of inmates have died in Ecuador's overcrowded prisons since February last year -- many beheaded or burned as the gang war is waged also behind bars -- especially at Guayas 1.
Widespread corruption among guards allows inmates to lay their hands on guns and explosives, among other contraband.
Following attacks Tuesday in which five police officers and a civilian were killed, President Guillermo Lasso declared a state of emergency and nightly curfews in the western provinces of Guayas, of which Guayaquil is the capital, and Esmeraldas.

Whoops! The above was intended to be a response to Dron66046 in this thread. As far as I am aware, Mr. Wife has never dealt with any prison riots. Some locals took him to see an anti-Pinochet riot in Santiago, but that was apparently relatively civilized for such things.
[France24] Israeli fighter jets early Friday targeted a rocket manufacturing site in the Gaza Strip, in response to rockets fired towards Israel, the army said.
One of the rockets was intercepted and three others "exploded inside the Gaza Strip", the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had said earlier Thursday.
"In response... IDF fighter jets targeted overnight (Friday) an underground military site in the Gaza Strip used as a rocket developing and manufacturing complex", the military said.
The facility belonged to Hamas, it added. "No, really, we're just the landlord!"
The impoverished Gaza Strip, home to 2.3 million Palestinians,
… back in the real world it’s closer to 1.3 million, after all the double counts, imaginary births, ignored deaths and emigrations are factored in to the official statistics, but do go on…
has been under Israeli blockade since 2007 when Iran-backed Hamas seized power from the secular Fatah movement of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas.
The rocket launches on Thursday were the first since a three-day conflict in August between Israel and another Iran-backed militant group, Islamic Jihad.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for Thursday's launches,
“Please don’t hurt us!”
which came hours after a final vote count gave former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right allies a clear majority in parliament after elections.
On Thursday in the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Jenin, Israeli forces killed Farouq Salameh, an "operative belonging to the Islamic Jihad", during a raid, the army said, blaming him for several attacks targeting its forces.
[IsraelTimes] Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,-linked students and a news hound were arrested this week during a rally at Birzeit University
Paleostinian Authority security forces arrested five students from Birzeit University in Ramallah this week, including a journalist, during a protest organized by the Hamas-affiliated organization that heads the student council, Islamic Bloc. The demonstration on Sunday was against the continued detention of three student activist muppets.
Among those arrested was Hatem Hamdan, a photojournalist and communications student at Birzeit who had been covering the protest as a freelancer when he was detained. An eyewitness said Paleostinian Authority police beat Hamdan severely in the face before taking him into custody.

[IsraelTimes] IDF says air strikes target underground Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, facility in central Strip in retaliation for four rockets lobbed toward Israel hours earlier
The Israeli military struck 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... Strip early Friday morning, hours after four rockets were launched at Israel from the Hamas-run Paleostinian enclave.
The Israel Defense Forces said it launched Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s at a "unique" underground rocket manufacturing facility used by the Hamas terror group. It published a satellite photo of what it said was the site, showing an area near several buildings and agricultural plots on the northwest edge of the al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza. It said it was the third such facility hit since April.
"The strike was carried out in response to launches from Gazook territory to Israeli territory earlier this evening," the IDF said in a statement just before 4 a.m.
The commander of the IDF Southern Command’s so-called "fire center," which coordinates the unit’s offensive operations, said the site was bombed with 19 tons of munitions.
"It will result in harming the Hamas terror group’s attempts to build up and arm itself," said Col. Yud, who can only be identified by the initial of his first name in Hebrew.
The Paleostinian Shehab news agency said a "resistance site" in al-Maghazi had been hit.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Photos shared on social media showed fireballs and smoke in Gaza from the airstrikes. Successive strikes could be seen hitting the same area repeatedly in unverified video footage as jets were heard screaming overhead.
Amid the strikes, Paleostinians apparently fired heavy machine-gun fire at Israeli aircraft over the coastal enclave. At least one home in the southern city of Sderot was struck by a large bullet as they fell back down to earth.
The retaliatory attack came after four rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip toward Israel Thursday. One rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system over a border town, and the other three fell short in the Strip, according to the Israeli military. There were no reports of injuries or damage following the rocket attacks.
No Paleostinian group has grabbed credit for the launches, but the IDF said it held Hamas responsible.
The rocket fire came hours after a member of 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. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... was killed during an Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin. The Gaza-based PIJ identified Farouk Salameh as a "commander" in the terror group. In a joint statement, the IDF and Border Police said Salameh was involved in the killing of a veteran police commando earlier this year, and had been planning further attacks.
Israel generally responds with airstrikes against Hamas sites regardless of the group launching the attack, noting that it is responsible for any attacks emanating from the territory. More rarely, it has directed its response at Islamic Jihad, if the terror group grabbed credit. The last time rockets were fired from the coastal enclave toward Israel was during a three-day battle against Islamic Jihad in August, during which it launched some 1,175 rockets.
Earlier Thursday, Israel said it was removing checkpoints in and out of the city of Nablus. Israel had imposed the restrictions weeks ago, clamping down on the city in response to a new terror group known as the Lions’ Den. The military has conducted repeated operations in the city in recent weeks, killing or arresting the group’s top commanders.
The IDF’s anti-terror offensive in the West Bank was launched following a series of Paleostinian attacks that killed 19 people earlier this year.
[BenarNews] Thai authorities have arrested several suspected "bombers" in the Deep South and are setting up a post there to track and intercept Lions of Islam who may be plotting potential attacks as Thailand prepares to host APEC meetings, officials and sources said.
Officials said security agencies had doubled the number of field officers in the heavily militarized southern border region ahead of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation 2022 meetings, which are set to take place in Bangkok from Nov. 14 to 19. Their efforts already have led to the capture and arrests of suspected Lions of Islam capable of setting off bombs in and around the capital city — the most recent arrest occurring on Sept. 7, according to a security source.
The APEC meetings will be the first high-level international gathering in the Thai capital since members of the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN)

As clashes between local armed men and ISIS militants continue, eight individuals, including three #ISIS militants killed in #Syria's #Daraa. https://t.co/H412B7dNhU
Eight individuals. including three holy warriors of 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.... Organization (ISIS), were killed in a week during ongoing festivities in Daraa al-Balad in the governorate of Daraa, south Syria.
Local sources told North Press Rami Khalid al-Abazid and Anas Khalid al-Salakhdi were killed in the neighborhood of Dam Route following festivities with ISIS bad boys.
The sources added that al-Salakhadi hails from the village of al-Naimah in the eastern countryside of Daraa while al-Abazid hails from Daraa al-Balad.
The sources noted that the two young men had been former members of Syrian opposition factions before joining settlements of the summer of 2018.
On November 1, a source of armed gun men told North Press that three ISIS holy warriors were killed after an attack launched by gunnies on ISIS posts in Dam Route neighborhood in Daraa al-Balad.
The source added that Salah Lotfi al-Ghezlan, Muhammad Harfoush and Bilal Harfoush, who are members of Moa’yad Harfoush group known as Abu Ta’ja, an ISIS affiliate, hail from the neighborhood of Dam Route.
On the same day, "Hussam Mohammed, 11, was killed by a stray bullet in the ongoing festivities between ISIS holy warriors and local button men on the outskirts of Dam Route," local sources told North Press.
The child, who hails from al-Mukhayyam neighborhood in Daraa city, was shot when was heading to the spare bakery, the source said.
Eyewitnesses said the young man Omar Hussein Sa’di was shot by unknown gunnies, who were riding a cycle of violence, in the town of Muzayrib in the western countryside of Daraa, he was transferred to the National Hospital in the town of Tafas where he succumbed to his wounds.

Al-Hussein, who hails from Daraa al-Balad, is a local armed man, who had joined the opposition factions formerly.
On October 29, the button men announced through mosques’ loudspeakers a curfew in the streets and neighborhoods Daraa with the aim of capturing ISIS bad boys.
The anti-ISIS campaign came following a suicide kaboom attack against the former leader of the Syrian opposition, Ghasan Akram al-Abazid, which killed four people and maimed five others.
Since the government forces re-captured Daraa in 2018, the governorate has been living in a state of insecurity, with daily liquidations targeting civilians, and members of the government forces, not to mention the spread of thefts.
[ALAHRAM] Iranian protesters and security forces clashed in a town near the capital on Thursday, where state-run media reported at least two deaths and circulated graphic images of an apparent attack on a police vehicle.
It was the latest in a wave of demonstrations that have convulsed Iran for more than six weeks and mark one of the biggest challenges to the country's clerical rulers since they seized power in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. At least 300 protesters have been killed and thousands arrested since the unrest began, according to a rights group.
The protesters had gathered in Karaj, just outside Tehran, to mark the 40th day since the shooting death of Hadis Najafi, 22, one of several young women to have been killed during the protests. The demonstrations were ignited by the death of another woman held by the country's morality police.
The 40th day after someone's death has great symbolism in Shiite Islam and is marked by public mourning. Commemorating protester deaths has given momentum to the ongoing demonstrations, just as it did during the 1979 revolution that overthrew a Western-backed monarchy.
Videos circulated online showed thousands of protesters in Karaj and clashes with police. In one of them, a helicopter flies over the protesters and drops flash grenades in an attempt to disperse them before landing in the middle of a highway. Government supporters on social media said the helicopter was sent to aid wounded policemen.
The state-run IRNA news agency quoted the head of emergency services in Karaj, Ahmad Mahdavi, as saying two people were killed and others wounded during the unrest. He did not specify whether the two were protesters or security forces, or provide further details.
IRNA circulated videos and photos on social media showing a police pickup truck that had crashed into a concrete barrier on a highway.
It was not immediately clear what caused the crash, but videos showed protesters hurling rocks at the vehicle and a man firing into it as at least three wounded individuals were inside. The photos showed what appeared to be two lifeless bodies.
