-War on Police-
Knife-wielding maniac punches two NYPD cops
[NYPOST] A knife-wielding nut with a lengthy rap sheet pummeled two NYPD cops after smashing the window of their police car Tuesday in the Bronx, law enforcement sources said.

Patrick Young, 34, allegedly ran up to a cruiser with a pair of cops sitting inside while holding a large knife at around 5 p.m. in front of Brothers Police and Security store on Webster Avenue in Bedford Park.

Young dropped his knife and then flew into a rage — allegedly punching the driver’s side window repeatedly and causing it to break.

Young — who has more than 20 prior arrests — was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital for a psychological evaluation and cuts to his hand.

Young, of the Bronx, was charged with assault and criminal mischief.

One of his recent arrests was for menacing with a weapon, police sources said.

The two officers, meanwhile, were treated for contusions and scrapes at North Central Hospital, according to sources.

Somali National Army Kills 30 Al-Shabaab Militants in Mudug Region
[Goobjoog] The Somali National Army with support from its international partners conducted an operation in Mudug region Wednesday, killing at least 30 al-Shabaab krazed killers.

According to the Ministry of Information of the Federal Government the operation occurred in the Arfuuda area, located approximately 20 kilometers from the town of Harardhere.

SNA Forces Thwart Attempted Al-Shabaab Attack in Hirshabelle
[Goobjoog] Somali National Army forces late Tuesday thwarted an attempted attack by al-Shabaab snuffies targeting the army’s Hawadley Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Hirshabelle State.

Acting on intelligence reports indicating a planned attack by the hard boys, the national army acted swiftly, intercepting and killing several members of the terror group as they advanced to the army base.

"Last night, the National Armed Forces received intelligence alerts pointing towards an imminent attack by al-Shabaab hard boys. In response to this threat, the military quickly mobilized its forces stationed at the Hawadley Forward Operating Base. Their proactive measures and rapid deployment enabled them to intercept the gunnies before they could carry out their nefarious plans," an official government statement reads.

During the operating, several other snuffies were arrested and taken into custody by the security forces to aid in investigations to establish other possible targets by the group.

Sudanese army thwarts drone attack on military base in Shendi
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudanese
Sudanese
...pertaining or related to Sudan, located just south of Egypt. It represents another strong argument in favor of colonialism. You wouldn't want to go there...
anti-aircraft guns in Shendi, northern Sudan, thwarted a drone attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Tuesday. Two of the attacking drones were intercepted and shot down.

This attack comes amid ongoing tensions between the military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group. A joint force comprising the Sudanese army and Darfur armed movement units had recently departed Shendi to confront RSF fighters at the Khartoum refinery in al-Jaili. Encircling the RSF forces, which had seized control of the oil facility at the onset of the conflict, the coalition aimed to reclaim the area.

Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Chairman of the Sovereign Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, had just left Shendi when the assault occurred.

Military sources told Sudan Tribune that the four drones attempted to target the command centre of the 3rd Infantry Division in Shendi. However, the army’s ground-based anti-aircraft defences effectively neutralized three of the drones, while the fourth altered its trajectory.

Witnesses reported that the drones aimed at various strategic locations, including a military airport adjacent to an ammunition depot and other sites near the southwestern entrance of the army command in Shendi. The resounding blasts of the anti-aircraft missiles caused panic among civilians, prompting the closure of the main market until calm was restored in the city.

In an official statement, the 3rd Infantry Division confirmed that its Control and Monitoring Room detected a drone approaching from the south. Ground anti-aircraft weaponry intercepted the drone upon its entry into the division’s jurisdiction, destroying its payload in mid-air. The debris fell within the division’s airport area without causing any casualties or damage to infrastructure.

The statement further detailed that another drone was sighted an hour later and promptly neutralized, emphasizing the division’s readiness and rapid response to hostile threats.

This drone assault marks the second incident of its kind within a month, targeting the Nile River State. On April 2, a drone struck a Ramadan iftar gathering hosted by the Islamist-affiliated al-Baraa Bin Malik Brigade, resulting in the loss of at least 18 lives.

Previously, members of the Rapid Support Forces had threatened to target the army position in Shendi and Port Sudan.

Arabia
Houthis say they attacked an Israeli ship in the Gulf of Aden
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The military spokesman for the Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah, Yahya Saria, said that the Houthis attacked the MSC Darwin ship in the Gulf of Aden.

According to the movement's Telegram channel, the Yemeni Navy attacked the Israeli ship MSC Darwin in the Gulf of Aden.

“The strike was carried out using missiles and drones, and the operation successfully achieved its objectives,” Saria wrote.

At the same time, the rebels added that they would continue to continue their military operations, interfering with the navigation of Israeli ships in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean.

As Regnum reported, the Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement carried out several attacks on the commercial ships Maersk Yorktown and MSC Veracruz, which belong to the United States and Israel. An American destroyer was attacked again. This was stated by the military representative of the movement, Yahya Saria, assuring that the missiles and drones successfully reached their targets.

At the same time, the Central Command of the American Armed Forces (CENTCOM) later stated that the ships and ships of Israel and the United States were not damaged in the attack in the Gulf of Aden. A single anti-ship missile launched by the Houthis was successfully shot down.

An editor of the college’s newspaper, the Daily Trojan, Jonathan Park was quoted by
CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
as saying, “When we saw the LAPD coming in from Vermont Avenue and working with campus officers, encircling on them, it definitely changed the mood.”

Ringleaders among 3 terrorists killed in Khyber
[GEO.TV] Intensifying actions to eliminate the menace of terrorism in the country, security forces killed three murderous Moslems including two ringleaders Sohail aka Azmato and Haji Gul alias Zarkavi in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber district, the military's media wing said on Thursday.

The operation was conducted by the security forces on April 24-25 on the reported presence of gunnies in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s tribal district, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

Security forces eliminated three gunnies after intense exchange of fire, as well as busted their hideout during the operation, it added.

The ISPR further said that weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area.

"Locals of the area appreciated the operation. A sanitisation operation is being carried out to eliminate any other terrorist found in the area as security forces are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country," it concluded.

MILITARY PAYS TRIBUTE TO MARTYRED CUSTOMS OFFICIALS
Separately, the senior army commanders visited the families of eight martyred Customs’ officials who laid their lives in the line of duty in Dera Ismail Khan in two separate incidents that took place earlier this month.

In due recognition of this selfless sacrifice in fight against illegal spectrum and as an expression of solidarity, the commanders met the families of the martyred officials at their homes to express condolences, pay tribute and pledge unfliching support on behalf of Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir.

The families expressed their gratitude to the Pakistain Army for the support and respect.

The military’s media wing said: "Shuhadas and Ghazis are our pride and their respect and honour is binding on each Pak. We must never forget that the peace and freedom we enjoy today is due to the ultimate sacrifices rendered by these brave sons of soil."

"We as nation salute Shuhada families for sacrificing their loved ones for Pakistain," it concluded.

Hamas links merger into regular army to establishment of independent Palestine state
[GEO.TV] Hamas has signalled to merge into the regular army and cease its counter-attacks against Israeli brutality on the condition that the independent Paleostinian state is established, the group’s official Basem Naim told CNN Thursday.

Naim — who is a member of Hamas’ based in Istanbul — told the outlet referring to the group's armed wing: "If an independent state with its capital in Jerusalem, while preserving the right of return for refugees, [is created] Al Qassam could be integrated into [a future] national army."

Mustafa Barghouti, President of the Paleostinian National Initiative, was unaware of the proposal, however, suggested that "it would be a significant move if true."

"It's significant in the sense that Paleostinians are resisting occupation because there is an occupation," he told media outlet.

Report: Gaza Terrorists Attack U.S. Humanitarian Pier During Construction Work
[LI] i24NEWS: "Gazan terrorists fired mortar shells on Wednesday towards the construction work on the humanitarian pier being built off the coast of Gaza."

Talking about biting the hand that feeds. Palestinian terrorists on Wednesday attacked the U.S. pier being constructed off the coast of Gaza, the Israeli TV channel i24NEWS reported.

Gaza "terrorists launched mortars at the maritime construction site, damaging several pieces of engineering equipment," the TV channel revealed. " In addition, one person was slightly injured while running to a protected area."

The U.S. military is involved in the construction of the floating dock. It is unclear if American servicemen or civilian contractors were present at the site during the terrorist attack.

Last month, President Joe Biden
Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
announced the decision to construct a floating pier for large-scale aid delivery to Gaza and supply aid through trucks and airdrops. "I’m directing the US military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the Gaza coast that can receive large ships carrying food, water, medicine and temporary shelters," President Biden declared on March 7.
