Heads up, dear Reader — we’re about to be hit with a new and startling number.
[ToloNews] US State Department spokesperson Ned Price says that the evacuation of US citizens and legal residents from Afghanistan is ongoing.
Good to hear they aren’t being completely ignored by the government anymore...
His remarks come amid reports saying thousands of US residents are still in Afghanistan.
Eh? Thousands??? Last we heard it was at most a few hundred.
Speaking to news hounds, Price said efforts are ongoing to help US residents in Afghanistan depart to the United States.
"As of today, the United States government has directly assisted the departure of 435 US citizens and 325 lawful permanent residents.
Who, pray tell, are the other 49,000 already in the United States, plus the others parked in various countries along the way? And why were they prioritized over thousands of our own people?
All US citizens who have requested assistance from the US government to depart Afghanistan, and who are ready to do so, have been offered an opportunity to leave the country," he said.
Price’s remarks come as Foreign Policy magazine reported that it has learned that the State Department believes as many as 14,000 US legal permanent residents remain in Afghanistan.
FOURTEEN THOUSAND??? They can’t have all gone back for summer vacation — who are these people?
Republican Representative Chris Smith said the US State Department has failed in the evacuation of American citizens from Afghanistan, as thousands of its legal residents are still in Afghanistan.
"Isn’t the operating assumption about 14,000?" Smith asked Brian McKeon, deputy secretary of state for management and resources, at a hearing, referring to the figure briefed in private. "We don’t track [legal permanent residents]," McKeon responded, Foreign Policy reported.
"Some of them are Afghan-Americans who do not want to leave Afghanistan. Some of them do not reveal their identity due to security concerns. And undoubtedly, among them there could be some people who carry out intelligence activities in Afghanistan," said Shukria Barakzai, a former Afghan diplomat.
Way to seal their fates, dude.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, another bullet hole appeared in Butch's hat...... US Secretary Antony Blinken met with the director of the International Organization for Migration, Antonio Vitorino, on Monday and thanked IOM for its support in the evacuation process from Afghanistan.
"I have to say, especially with the recent evacuation and relocation efforts in Afghanistan, the IOM played an absolutely critical role, stepping up, stepping in. Whether it was at Ramstein or Dulles Airport, working with UNICEF on unaccompanied children, we're so grateful for that work," he said.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, another bullet hole appeared in Butch's hat...... the international affairs committee of the US congress said it will increase its assessments about the evacuation of US soldiers and their Afghan allies from Afghanistan.

[KhaamaPress] Provincial officials in central Daikundi province said that their intelligence personnel arrested 11 people who are suspected to be ISIS-K affiliates.
The officials said that the suspects are from Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... , Ghazni, and Urozgan provinces but added that further investigations have been started.
The Taliban ...Arabic for students... have also seized weapons with the suspects.
It comes a day after the Taliban fighters in large-scale operations in four districts of Kandahar province arrested ten ISIS-K affiliates and killed three more.
Are those the final numbers? Yesterday’s reports were confused on the subject.
Provincial officials of Kandahar province said that four hideouts of the terror group have been eliminated in the province.
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.... of Iraq and Syria-Khorasan branch (ISIS-K) is now the only terror group that operates against the Taliban in Afghanistan and inflicts causalities on civilians people mainly the Shi ’ite Moslems.
So the Taliban keep saying, What odds that it’s actually true?
[AlAhram] Sudanese authorities released Al Jazeera television's Khartoum bureau chief on Tuesday, the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates.

[AlAhram] At least 32 people, including 28 military coppers, were killed in an attack carried out by an unidentified group of gunnies on a gendarmerie post in Inata, northern Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... , according to Rooters.
In the wake of the attack — the deadliest witnessed by the country’s troops in years — President Roch Kabore announced a three-day period of national mourning.
Another group of gunnies also attempted a second attack in northern Burkina Faso on Sunday but were successfully repelled by troops.
Numerous attacks have been launched by gunnies linked to ISIS and al-Qaeda in Burkina Faso over the past few years.
The Death Eaters’ insurgency across Sahel region ... North Africa's answer to the Pak tribal areas... in West Africa has killed thousands and displaced millions so far.

[MONITOR.CO.UG] Police have said that the twin explosions that hit Kampala at a police checkpoint and Parliamentary Avenue on Tuesday were carried out by three jacket wallahs who died instantly.
Police also said three civilians had been confirmed dead and 33 others injured, although the number of fatalities could be higher than reported so far.
Five of the injured are at death's door, according to police spokesperson, Commissioner of Police Fred Enanga.
Mr Enanga told journalists in Kampala that the police attack was carried out by one suicide bomber who was captured on CCTV camera carrying a backpack before he detonated it. Two civilians went titzup and 17 others were maimed and evacuated from the scene to the hospital.
"The first attack occurred near the check point to the Central Police Station, in Kampala at around 10.03am. The fresh footages on CCTV clearly indicate how a male adult, putting on a black jacket, and carrying a backpack let 'er rip. He died instantly and the spillover effect caused additional injuries to coppers and other civilians who were within a radius of 30 metres. Two other people have been confirmed dead, while 17 others sustained injuries. Those injured were within the section covering the point of impact and the front desk area at the Central Police Station," Mr Enanga said.
The Parliament road attack was conducted by two suicide bombers riding on two boda boda cycle of violences. One civilian was killed in the earth-shattering kaboom that happened at Raj chambers and Jubilee Insurance offices at Parliamentary Avenue.
"Two suicide bombers were clearly captured, on cycle of violences, disguising as boda boda riders. They detonated the bombs they were carrying on themselves, that killed them instantly," he added.
Police said the fourth suicide bomber was pursued and arrested in Bwaise, a Kampala suburb after he was shot and disabled by counter terrorism operatives.
"Although three suicide bombers died in the double kabooms, our CT response teams managed to pursue a fourth suicide kaboomer and intercepted him at Bwaise. They shot and injured him, and immediately after, recovered an unwent kaboom! improvised bomb at Nansana-Katooke, at his home, which the bomb squad, were going to neutralize. We are now pursuing other members of the terror groups," CP Enanga added.
The explosions which happened three minutes apart were carried out by suspected domestic murderous Moslems linked to Allied Democratic Forces ...the ADF is one of several murderous Moslem groups in NE Congo. In 2019 the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on them for the usual reasons. They don't appear to be affiliated with al-Qaeda or Islamic State, though ISIS claims their work from time to time — they just like killing infidels.... (ADF) using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), according to police.
"It clearly shows that the ADF linked radicalized groups, still have a desire to carry out lethal attacks, on soft targets, with suicide kaboomers and improvised bombs. These kinds of threats remain significant because IEDs and suicide bomb jackets can easily be built from common household items found in local markets, retail shops and supermarkets," Mr Enanga added.
The attacks follow two blasts last month -- a bus explosion in Mpigi District that maimed many people and a bombing at a roadside eatery in Komamboga in the capital Kampala that killed one woman.
[MONITOR.CO.UG] Police said Tuesday that they arrested a suspected jacket wallah who allegedly tried to blow up Nansana Town in Central Uganda, moments after three of his colleagues (suicide bombers) killed at least three civilians in a twin bombing in the capital, Kampala.
Colleagues? That would make him Allied Democratic Forces, too.
Police spokesperson, Mr Fred Enanga said the force’s Counter-Terrorism (CT) operatives November 16 ’’quickly discovered another man only identified as Moze who intended to detonate a fourth jacket-bomb in Uganda.’’
"Although three suicide bombers died in the double kabooms, our CT response teams managed to pursue a fourth suicide kaboomer and intercepted him at Bwaise. They shot and injured him, and immediately after, recovered an unwent kaboom! improvised bomb at Nansana-Katooke B Wamala Ward, at his home, which the bomb squad, were going to neutralize. We are now pursuing other members of the terror groups," CP Enanga told journalists at the police headquarters in Naguru, Kampala.

[ColonelCassad] A new big video report of the Houthis has been released on the ongoing offensive in South Marib.
Many killed and captured carts, many killed and captured (it should be noted that the wounded are not finished off, but bandaged and taken to the rear), various trophies, plus a very atmospheric piece of video with the storming of a village.
Fighting is now taking place for the mountainous region of Jabal al-Balak, the last major natural obstacle in front of the provincial capital of Marib.

Over 130 Yemen rebels killed in battle for Marib: Coalition
[AlAhram] The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... said Tuesday it has killed over 130 Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... s in the past 24 hours in strikes in and near the northern pro-government bastion of Marib.
The Saudi-led coalition has been reporting high corpse counts in almost daily strikes since October aimed at repelling a rebel offensive on the city of Marib, the government's last stronghold in the north.
The Iran-backed Huthis rarely comment on the tolls, which have exceeded 3,700 in the past weeks, and AFP cannot independently verify the coalition's figures.
"Sixteen military vehicles were destroyed and more than 130 terrorist elements eliminated" in the latest raids, the coalition said in a statement carried by the Saudi state news agency SPA.
It said the operations were carried out in Marib and al-Bayda provinces.
The Huthis began a major push to seize Marib city in February, and renewed their offensive in September.
There was also reported fighting on a separate front, along Yemen's Red Sea coast after Huthi forces pushed south in recent days.
The coalition said Tuesday they targeted four Huthi positions along the western coast.
A Huthi advance near Yemen's lifeline port of the western province of Hodeida and a Saudi pullback have displaced more than 6,000 people, according to the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... On Monday, the coalition said in a statement that the "redeployment and repositioning" of its troops and government forces last week was designed "to support the Yemeni government in its national battle on all fronts".
The Liverpool suicide attacker built a 'Mother of Satan' ball bearing bomb used by ISIS extremists to 'cause maximum carnage' and may have been driven to take revenge after his asylum bids kept being turned down, it was claimed today.
Enzo Almeni, 32, a Muslim who converted to Christianity four years ago, was killed after the homemade device exploded as his taxi pulled up at Liverpool Women's Hospital just before before the 11am minute's silence on Remembrance Sunday.
His bomb was made using homemade TATP explosives. TATP is unstable and known as a 'Mother of Satan' because it is liable to blow up accidentally. It was used by Islamist terrorist in the Paris suicide attacks of 2015, the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017 and the failed Parsons Green Underground station.
The asylum seeker's heritage was disputed by UK immigration officials, having arrived in Britain claiming to be of Syrian and Iraqi heritage, when the Home Office reportedly believed he was from Jordan.
A security source told The Sun: 'One of the issues being looked at is whether this unresolved grievance pushed him over the edge and prompted him to carry out the attack.'
It is not yet known when he arrived in the UK but he first became known to the authorities after being arrested for possession of a 'large knife' after the rejection of his asylum claim in 2014, resulting in him being sectioned under the Mental Health Act and hospitalised for several months.
Ever since then it is clamed he had been in a long-term dispute with the Home Office over his application for UK residential status, and until recently had been living at a hostel for asylum seekers - run by private contracting giant Serco - in Sutcliffe Street, Liverpool, 'for some time' before renting a flat two miles away in Rutland Avenue, which he turned into a bomb factory.
His driver David Perry, 45, survived in a 'miracle' after Almeni's 1lb bomb failed to properly detonate, with the hero cabbie said to have started 'vibrating' and 'flashing' in the seconds before they reached their destination.
Police and MI5 are trying to work out if Liverpool's main maternity hospital, which was packed with mothers and new babies, was his intended target. ISIS attacked the maternity ward of Dasht-e-Barchi hospital in Kabul, killing 24 including 16 mothers and two children in 2020.
A senior former intelligence source told the Mirror: 'The bomber intended to enter the hospital and trigger his device, but for some reason it went off early and failed properly to initiate. Had he successfully set off the bomb inside it would have been extremely bloody and horrific. We believe this was a partial explosion, clearly from a device at high-chest level, aimed at causing many casualties.'
[IsraelTimes] Suspect accused of preparing mass act of violence, terror financing; prosecutors say he acquired material to build improvised bombs, began to build submachine gun
A Syrian man who allegedly supported 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. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group’s ideology has been charged with making preparations for an attack in Germany, prosecutors said Tuesday.
The suspect, who was identified only as Abdullah H.
...who doesn’t seem to be in our archives...
in keeping with German privacy rules, was charged at a Berlin court with preparing a serious act of violence and terror financing. He was arrested in November 2019 in another case, which prosecutors gave no details of. probably an unserious act of violence and terror financing
Federal prosecutors said that he decided by June 2019 to carry out an attack in Germany that would be on a similar scale to previous IS attacks in Europe. They said his aim was to kill or wound as many people as possible.
Prosecutors said that the man acquired material to build improvised bombs, including acetone, hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid. He also allegedly made enquiries about using ordinary fertilizer as an explosive, acquired various metal parts and tools, and began to build a submachine gun.
The alleged plans were halted by his arrest, prosecutors said.
[NEWSTALK1130.IHEART] The enduring mystery of the Kyle Rittenhouse criminal trial, which went to a jury Tuesday, has been the identity of "Jump Kick Man." As Rittenhousebravely ran away from a crowd of people, he testified that one of the pursuers hit him in the head with his skateboard. When Rittenhouse fell to the ground, Jump Kick Man flew through the air and stomped on his head. Rittenhouse fired two shots at Jump Kick Man, but missed.
Almost immediately, the man who had struck Rittenhouse with his skateboard, Anthony Huber, hit him with the skateboard again, and Rittenhouse fired a single round, killing Huber. A third man, Gaige Grosskreutz, saw this and approached Rittenhouse with his hands up. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... when Rittenhouse looked down for a split second, Grosskreutz pulled out a handgun and pointed it at Rittenhouse's head. Rittenhouse fired a single shot, striking Grosskreutz in the arm.

Anthony Michael Huber
born 8/21/1994
Given his violent mental / criminal behavior documented below and in the link provided. Why wasn't he put in Criminal Mental ward for 20+ years? Or was his vote that important to the Socialcrats?
It seems the DA office there, was too Liberal minded in its felony sentencing punishments?
aka Skate Board Dude
For greater details that Social Media and others seemed to avoid.
Quoting only a small part of his violent mental criminal history.
"In 2012, Huber held a 6-inch-long butcher knife to his brothers neck and violently attacked him. He told his brother he was going to “gut him like a pig.” He choked his brother and dug his nails into his neck. His brother could not breath for 10 seconds. He then stabbed him in the ear. He then threatened to burn the house down and kill his mother, grandmother and siblings. Huber left on his skateboard.
In 2017, Huber was in an argument with his sister. His mother called the police and told them that “(Huber) has a history of abusive behavior.” He Karate kicked her and she fell down in pain. He told the police that it wasn’t “wrong” to hurt his sister.
Note: there is a link inside the link, that lists in detail the Wack Jobs arrests and problems with police.

It gets even more surreal when you consider that Rosenbaum was -- get this -- a bipolar extremely violent child rapist who was literally off his meds and alternately demanding to be shot and screaming that he would kill Kyle and several other peaceful citizens on the night that he rushed Kyle and tried to grab his gun.
And -- wait, there's more! - he'd just been released from the hospital after a suicide attempt.
And he'd fought with the paramour he was staying with. Because Rosenbaum unlike Kyle had no family or job in Kenosha and really did travel great distances in order to stir up a hornet's nest and wreak havoc on peaceful, innocent strangers in a town thousands of miles from his home.
The cherry on this shit sundae: as Andrew Branca pointed out (but Kyle's bumbling Attorney failed to), Rosenbaum in grabbing Kyle's gun was at the time of the first shot simultaneously disarming Kyle and in the process of arming himself.
So now we have the upside-down Wonderland prosecution of the young man who along with several other naive but heroic ordinary citizens tried to defend Kenosha from these savage berserkers -- after the police were effectively stood down. And the governor who refused to call out the Guard when those monsters were burning and threatening to slaughter people is now calling out the Guard in response to this show trial. That would be the trial of the supposed "white supremacist" who shot a deranged and violent bipolar child rapist who had charged him and tried to take his gun -- after the defendant had interrupted this monster's attempt to set a gas station on fire using a flaming dumpster the monster had ignited.
Anyone else agree that this nation has gone insane?

The sad thing, Rob, is "prosecutorial discretion" is so far-reaching that this is probably just business as usual.
They have no discretion when it comes to giving the defense ALL the information they have. Maybe I'm wrong, and they only have to disclose what they intend to use at trial -- but a motion today reveals they withheld the high definition drone video from the defense.

[SHAFAQ] On Tuesday, a security source said that three missiles fell near the town of Bavyan on the borders of Qesrok district in Shikhan district, east of Duhok.
The Source told Shafaq News Agency, "According to preliminary information, the missiles were launched from djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... to target the Ottoman Turkish base in Bashiqa, but they went beyond the required range."
There were no casualties, and missiles fell on the outskirts of Bavyan village."
[IsraelTimes] Slain man apparently linked to 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... ; IDF says it’s still looking into details of overnight incident in village of Tubas, near Nablus
A Paleostinian man was rubbed out during festivities with Israeli troops in the northern West Bank in the early hours of Tuesday morning, Paleostinian media reported.
The man, Saddam Hussein Bani Odeh, 26, appeared to have ties to the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror group, though the organization did not immediately claim him as a member.
According to Paleostinian media, the Israeli security forces had entered the village of Tubas, northeast of Nablus, early Tuesday to conduct an arrest raid. During the incursion, violent mostly peacefulfestivities broke out between the troops and residents of the village.
It was not immediately clear if the soldiers were looking to arrest Odeh or another person in the village.
The Israel Defense Forces did not immediately confirm the reports. A spokesperson said he was aware of the incident, but was still looking into the matter.
After his death, Odeh was brought to a morgue, where he was wrapped in an Islamic Jihad flag, something normally only done for members of the organization.
On an almost nightly basis, Israeli soldiers and coppers enter Paleostinian villages and cities to arrest people, mostly young men and teenagers, suspected of belonging to terrorist organizations, as well as for lesser offenses like throwing rocks at passing cars in the West Bank or taking part in violent mostly peaceful protests against security forces.
Dammit! But possibly this means the kind of arrest the Mullahs did of Al Qaeda cadres and bin Laden dependents for the better part of two decades: semi-house arrest that was really protective custody to keep them safe from Western hunters as well as provide a communication channel directly to the Al Qaeda executive suite.
[KhaamaPress] Iran’s Ministry of Interior Affairs announced that Nizamuddin Qaisari a former militia commander and aide of Abdul Rashid Dostum ...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier... accused for fabricating documents arrested.
Head of the residents and refugees of Iran’s Interior Ministry Mehdi Mahmoodi said that Qaisari had come to Iran ...The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both... illegally and was making fake documents for Afghans.
Someone has to — it’s not like the Taliban have been providing either fake or real documents in recent months.
Mahmoodi said that Nizamuddin Qaisari had three different offices in Tehran and Karaj city where he would fabricate documents for Afghan refugees.
Qaisari would reportedly charge people large amounts of money for providing them with fabricating documents.
Nizamuddin Qaisari was arrested days after the Taliban ...Arabic for students... took over Afghanistan on August 15 who was then released and went to Iran.
Qaisari was one of the notorious commanders in the northern Balkh province of Afghanistan where he was leading anti-government people uprising.
Previous Afghan government had conducted several operations to arrest him but had failed.
[NPASYRIA] After being targeted by a group affiliated with the Syrian government on Tuesday afternoon, the Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish)
...the Asayish is the Kurd-dominated security organization in the Kurdish territories in Syria...
intensified their security checkpoints in Qamishli city, northeast Syria.
"Members of the National Defense Forces (NDF) fired at Asayish members in Hasakah, injuring one in the hand," North Press reported a security source from the Asayish.
The Asayish intensified the number of its security checkpoints in Qamishli and in the vicinity of the security square where the government forces are present.
The Asayish members were told not to pass through the government-controlled areas, eyewitnesses said.
At the end of April, the Tayy neighborhood in the city of Qamishli witnessed violent mostly peacefulfestivities between the NDF and the Asayish. The conflict ended with the control of the latter on the neighborhood after negotiations brokered by Russia.
[NPASYRIA] On Tuesday, the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria witnessed mutual shelling between Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian armed opposition factions and Syrian government forces in different areas.
"The government forces continued bombing the opposition factions’ sites in the villages and towns of al-Fatira, Kafr Oweid, Sfuhen, Kansafra, outskirts of al-Bara, Ehsem, al-Ruwaiha, Deir Sunbul and Benin in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib," North press reported a military source in the opposition.
"Sites of the opposition factions in the villages and towns of Kafr Amma, Kafr Ta’al, Tedil and Kafr Nouran, west of Aleppo, were also bombed by the government, while no casualties were reported," the source added.
"The factions responded to the government forces’ bombardment by shelling their positions near Miznaz, the Regiment 46, Kafr Halab, Khirbet Jadraya and Urum al-Kubra and Urum al-Sughra, west of Aleppo, with heavy artillery and rockets," according to the same source.
For months, areas in Syria’s northwest have been witnessing mutual shelling between parties to the conflict in different areas amid news on government military reinforcements to different areas in the region.
Although the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria is subject to a Russian-Ottoman Turkish ceasefire agreement signed in March 2020, the area witnesses frequent mutual bombardment despite the entry of the ceasefire into force.

Sept 10:BEIRUT — U.S. President Joe Biden has cleared $47 million in military aid to Lebanon, but as an expert explained to Defense News, this doesn’t mean the Lebanese Armed Forces will receive that amount. Under sections 552(c)(2) and 506(a)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, Biden authorized the secretary of state to “direct the drawdown of up to $25 million in commodities and services from the inventory and resources of any agency” and “direct the drawdown of up to $22 million in defense articles and services from the Department of Defense” to support Lebanon’s military, per a Sept. 7 statement from the White House. However, “the drawdown authority does not constitute aid in itself, and the LAF has not been allocated $50 million in aid,” said Nerguizian, senior associate with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “What it does mean is that the president has instructed the U.S. government interagency to make excess defense items available to the LAF,” he added. “This is not aid in an account like [Foreign Military Financing]. Sections 552(c)(2) and 506(a)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act just instructs the U.S. interagency to assess what excess items are available, to make such items available for transfer to the LAF, and only if the items are releasable and line with the requirements of the LAF and U.S. interests more broadly.(More than the usual BS.)

[JPost] just some random building the Juice Atrocity targeted, right? Nothing to see here?
One of the missiles was shot down and no losses were reportedly caused. still trying to squeegee up the remains?
The IDF fired two missiles from the Golan Heights towards an empty building south of Damascus on Tuesday night, according to the Syrian state news agency SANA.
We’re to take their word that it’s nothing more than an empty baby milk factory?
One of the missiles was shot down and no losses were caused according to the report. It is unclear as of yet if the missiles were fired from an aircraft or were surface-to-surface missiles.
The latest strike comes a little over a week after two Syrian soldiers were injured and material damage was caused in an alleged Israeli airstrike targeting sites along the coast of Syria and in the center of the country.
A military source told SANA at the time that an Israeli airstrike was carried out from north of Beirut, targeting sites in the central and coastal region of Syria, adding that the majority of the incoming missiles were intercepted. Initial reports by Syrian sources indicated that the strikes targeted locations near Homs in western Syria and Tartus on the coast.
A woman was injured and a number of houses were damaged in Hermel in northeastern Lebanon due to shrapnel from the interceptions of Israeli missiles by Syrian air defenses, according to Lebanon's National News.
