#6  Dear ACA Joe,

I'm not Jewish. Your spew has nothing to do with Mrs Cougat. That being said, you're not welcome here.

The Iran-owned and operated Hamas scum who rape women and chop the heads off babies aren't getting any "reparations" but the ones falling on Gaza now.

Beirut will get Hezbollah's "reparations" too. Beirut should have gotten "reparated" by the U.S. for 250 dead Marines who were peacefully sleeping under UN auspices. I'm sure you cheered that too. But we're a squeamish lot. so the IDF will end up doing it.

So take you opinions, your vitriol, and your stinky ass elsewhere.

Africa Subsaharan
Tourists killed in Uganda: captured ADF leader also accused of school massacre
[AFRICANEWS] An ADF militia commander arrested on Tuesday for the murder of two foreign tourists in Uganda has also been charged with a school massacre in June, a Ugandan general said on Friday.

On Thursday, the army announced the capture of Abdul Rashid Kyoto, also known as Njovu, and the death of six other members of the commando group accused of murdering a British and a South African honeymooner and their guide in Queen Elizabeth Park on October 17.

The ADF rebels, affiliated to the jihadist group 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....
, have previously been accused by the Ugandan authorities of attacking a school in the western town of Mpondwe on June 17, in which 42 people were killed, and another on October 28 in Kasindi, in eastern DRC, in which four people were killed, including two Ugandan soldiers.

"There is a correlation between the three attacks and Njovu's command", General Dick Olum, in charge of an anti-ADF operation in the DRC, told AFP: "It was the same Njovu, alias Abdul Rashid Kyoto, who commanded these attacks and the attack on the two tourists and their guide".

"We have a lot of information on the ADF. We know who led these missions to kill people", he added.

His capture "should reassure Ugandans and tourists that with the operations underway, Uganda is safe and the ADF will be defeated", he concluded.

The murder of the two tourists in one of Uganda's most famous parks raised fears in the tourism sector, which contributed almost 10% of the country's GDP last year, according to official figures.

Originally Ugandan rebels with a Moslem majority, the ADF spread to eastern DRC in the 1990s. They pledged allegiance in 2019 to the EI, which claims responsibility for some of their actions and presents them as its "Central African Province" (Iscap in English).

They are accused of having massacred thousands of civilians in the DRC in recent years and of carrying out jihadist attacks on Ugandan soil.

On Thursday, a Ugandan court sentenced seven people to between seven and ten years' imprisonment, notably for their links with the ADF.

The convicts, including a 75-year-old man, had pleaded guilty to belonging to a "terrorist organization", as well as to financing terrorism and trafficking children for recruitment into the ADF.

One of them also pleaded guilty to recruiting his children into the ADF and rape.

Arabia
Yemeni military forces have finished preparations for deployment against Zionist entity
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Member of the Supreme Political Council in Sana’a, Mohammed Ali al-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...
, said on Thursday that the 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...
i forces have completed preparations for supporting Paleostine and confronting the Israeli entity.

Al-Houthi indicated in an interview with the Russia Today channel that the weapons they use can reach the Zionist entity, whether they are ballistic missiles or drones.

"There is complete and continuous coordination within the framework of the axis of jihad and resistance," he revealed, explaining that there is a continuous room for coordination and setting goals.

Al-Houthi called on Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, the Emirates, Egypt, Jordan and all Arab regimes to mobilise their armies. "They are no less efficient or capable than the Sana’a forces, and there is no justification for them not to participate in defending the people of Paleostine."

He added that America and some regional countries intercepted some Yemeni missiles and drones heading towards targets belonging to the usurping entity in the occupied Paleostinian territories.

Regarding the arrival of American aircraft carriers to the Red Sea, al-Houthi said that "there is no concern for Sana’a about their arrival, as it will not provide more than what was available to the coalition countries that waged an aggression against Yemen."

"Any movement of the enemies here or there will not add strength," he warned. "Nearly two thousand American aircraft have been targeting the Republic of Yemen for the past eight years."

He added that "Sana’a cannot reveal its cards, but all options are on the table and its assessment is subject to the operational side of the Ministry of Defence."

Al-Houthi said that 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 Hamas with 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...
disproved any the Americans had left of their claims to preserving human rights
...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you...
, and showed that they could not be the guardians of international law.

Al-Houthi also called on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to use its weapons, aircraft, armies and tools to defend Paleostine and the people of Gaza.

Britain
Five members of Rochdale grooming gang who repeatedly attacked two young girls 'like pieces of meat' in child sex abuse lair dubbed 'The Butcher's flat' two decades ago are jailed for more than 70 years
The fun jihad of rape.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Five members of a Rochdale grooming gang, who repeatedly attacked two young girls 'like pieces of meat' in lair dubbed 'The Butcher's flat' two decades ago, have been jailed for more than 70 years.

The victims, known only as girl A and girl B, were aged 13 and 14 when they were plied with alcohol, cannabis and Ecstasy pills before being sexually assaulted for around two years by various men, either together or on their own.

Girl A also suffered 'degradation' as she was filmed while blacked out from vodka, being sexually assaulted with a bottle as men laughed. The video was then shared around Rochdale, the court heard. On another occasion, she told Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester, she was urinated on by one man as she performed oral sex on another.

The five men - Mohammed Ghani, Jahn Shahid Ghani, Insar Hussain, Ali Razza Hussain Kasmi, and Martin Rhodes - were convicted of sexual offences after a 12-week trial earlier this year.

Passing sentence, Judge Tina Landale told the defendants: 'Your cases, together and individually resulted in appalling abuse of two young women who were children when you offended against them.

'They were both, immature, naive children, who were loved by their families.

'Each girl was a child, ripe for exploitation by unscrupulous older men.

'Your behaviour was highly predatory, controlling and manipulative.

'You each hooked them and used them for your own sexual pleasure.'

The trial heard the victims would often be picked up from outside their schools, still in their uniforms, and sexually assaulted against a school wall, in cars, in public parks, on Saddleworth Moor and in flats and houses in Rochdale. One flat was known as the 'Butcher's flat', as it was above an old butcher's shop. The only item it had in an upstairs bedroom was a bare stained mattress used for the abuse.

Girl A said the abuse began after a chance meeting with Mohammed Ghani, now aged 39, of Bamford Way, Rochdale. He would have sex with the youngster then pass her on to his friends where she was also pressured into multiple sexual encounters with men, one after the other. Girl A described becoming 'accustomed' to giving the men what they wanted sexually, that condoms were rarely used, that they would 'bombard' her with calls and treat her like a 'piece of meat'.

Ghani was jailed for 14 years and six months after being found guilty of five counts of penetrative sex with a child.

His older brother, Jahn Shahid Ghani, 50, of Whitworth Road, Rochdale, described as a 'sex addict' who gave girl A up to 10 Ecstasy tablets at a time before engaging in group sex with her and another woman, was jailed for 20 years for causing a child to engage in sexual activity and four counts of penetrative sexual activity with a child.

Their friend, Insar Hussain, 38, of Bishop Street, Rochdale was jailed for 17 years for rape and two counts of penetrative sex with Girl A.

Ali Razza Hussain Kasmi, 36, of Brotherod Hall Road, Rochdale, was jailed for eight years for rape and two other sexual offences against girl B.

A fifth man, Martin Rhodes, 39, of Dinmore Avenue, Blackpool, pleaded guilty to four counts of penetrative sex with a child, relating to both girl A and girl B and was jailed for 12 years and six months.

All the offences took place between 2002 and 2006.

The allegations only came to light in 2015 after girl A told of being 'beaten and raped' while on a parenting course and police were contacted. She told course workers: 'I was abused daily for six years. I was 12 when they began to abuse me, feeding me alcohol and drugs, abuse me and pass me on to their friends.

'They did as they pleased, they made videos of me to use as blackmail.'

She added that she had to do what they said or she would be 'beaten and raped'.

As a result of what she told the police, they spoke with the second girl, girl B, a childhood friend.

Jurors cleared Ikhlaq Yousef, 38, of Stanley Street, Rochdale, Aftar Khan, 34, of Sparth Bottoms Road, Rochdale, and Mohammed Iqbal, 67, of Gainsborough Drive, Rochdale, of any wrongdoing.

Police in European countries arrest suspects in terror plots tied to Israel-Hamas war

Police in at least three European countries have arrested people they said were threatening or planning terror attacks related to the Israel-Hamas

war.

The arrests come amid a global spike in antisemitic incidents following Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, in which 1,400 people were slaughtered, that has spurred an ongoing Israeli military response in Gaza. While police have offered widely ranging levels of detail about the threats they said they interrupted, they believe Israelis were possibly the intended targets of multiple plots.

In Duisburg, a German city of about 500,000 located near the Netherlands border, a man previously convicted of terrorism was arrested after police said he shared with an associate in Syria that he was planning an attack, possibly against a pro-Israel demonstration.

The man had previously trained with ISIS in Syria, according to local reports.

In the UK, The Telegraph newspaper reported that a man who arrived in the country in 2020 had been arrested after committing some kind of attack that he said he committed because children had been harmed in Gaza. But while police told the newspaper that they had made an arrest, they did not disclose any further information about the man or the nature of the attack.

Security analysts said they might be withholding information in an effort not to inspire copycats.

In Brussels, a Paleostinian man was arrested after telling a federal refugee support agency that he was distressed by what was happening in Gaza and hoped to ​"die as a martyr by blowing himself up."

The man had applied in September for asylum in Belgium but missed an appointment after learning that members of his family had been killed in Gaza, according to local news reports.

In addition, police in Italia arrested two men whom they had identified as recruiters for ISIS in Europe, saying that they had decided to intervene because the war had heightened the risk of Islamic bully boyz taking action. The arrests came a day after button men allegedly tied to ISIS killed two people at a soccer game in Belgium.

Concerns about Hamas-inspired attacks are on the rise around the world. A wave of mass pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel demonstrations since Oct. 7 have also caused anxiety for police and many Jews.

Germany bans pro-Hamas activity, dissolves group that celebrated attack on Israel
[TIMESOFISRAEL] Germany’s top security official has implemented a formal ban on activity by or in support of Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
and will dissolve a group that was behind a celebration of the terror organization’s devastating surprise onslaught against on Israel.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Thursday morning that she is putting the ban on activity related to Hamas, which is already listed by the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
as a terrorist group, into effect today.

"With Hamas, I have today completely banned the activities of a terrorist organization whose aim is to destroy the state of Israel," she said in a statement.

She announced that she is also dissolving the German branch of the Samidoun Paleostinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, which she said "supports and glorifies" groups including Hamas.

Samidoun was behind an October 7 action in which a group of people handed out pastries in a Berlin street in celebration of Hamas’s attack, which saw some 3,000 holy warriors burst across the border into Israel from the Gazoo

NYC councilwoman charged for toting gun at protest against pro-Palestinian rally
Seems a sensible precaution to me.
[IsraelTimes] Inna Vernikov, a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant, was photographed at Brooklyn College rally last month with weapon, but her lawyer argues image could have been altered by AI.

A New York City politician was arraigned on a gun charge Thursday after prosecutors said she brought a pistol to a pro-Paleostinian demonstration.

City Council member Inna Vernikov, a Republican and vocal supporter of Israel, was seen in photos and videos with the butt of a gun jutting out from her waistband while she was counterprotesting at an October 13 pro-Paleostinian rally at Brooklyn College, according to prosecutors.

Student demonstrations both in support of Israel and in support of Paleostinians have roiled college campuses in New York and across the nation since the start of the Israel-Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
war. The conflict is especially fraught at Brooklyn College, which has large numbers of both Paleostinian and Jewish students.

Vernikov, a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant, was charged in Brooklyn criminal court with one count of possessing a gun at a sensitive location.

Vernikov had a license to carry a concealed weapon, but under New York law, licensed gun owners may not bring weapons to certain sensitive locations, including protests and school grounds. Additionally, the state requires people licensed to carry handguns to keep them concealed.

Vernikov surrendered her gun after the arrest. Her next scheduled court date is January 24.

Her attorney, Arthur Aidala, said images appearing to show his client bringing a gun to the protest could have been altered.

"In today’s world of artificial intelligence, you can put anything on social media," Aidala said after the arraignment, news outlets reported. "Rules of evidence are, it’s a human being who has to make these descriptions, not based on what you see on a computer screen."

Aidala said prosecutors also must show that the gun police recovered from Vernikov’s home after they arrested her was operable.

"I’m assuming in January they’ll have a ballistics report telling us whether it’s worked and then they’ll have a witness who actually saw her with a gun," he said.

The News Agency that Dare Not be Named sent an email to Aidala asking him if he was denying that Vernikov was carrying a gun at the protest.

TTP suicide bomber among two terrorists killed in KP IBOs
[GEO.TV] Two terrorists, including a Tehrik-e-Taliban
...Arabic for students...
Pakistain (TTP) jacket wallah, were killed while two others were maimed in separate intelligence-based operations (IBO) conducted by security forces in different areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Friday.

In a statement, the Inter-Service Public Relations (ISPR) said three soldiers also bit the dust in one of the IBOs and a separate incident of an improvised bomb (IED) blast in the Kulachi area of Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
district.

"An intelligence based operation was conducted in general area Rori, Dera Ismail Khan District and one terrorist was sent to hell, while two hard boyz were maimed," a statement issued by the ISPR read.

It stated that the killed terrorist was identified as Osama — a suicide bomber linked with the TTP — who was planning to carry out a "high profile" attack in the area.

In a separate IBO conducted in Lakki Marwat district, the security forces busted various terrorist hideouts, killing one terrorist.

Unfortunately, two soldiers — Naik Zafar Iqbal, 37, from Gujranwala and Sepoy Haji Jan, 30 from Gilgit Baltistan — bit the dust while fighting gallantly in an intense exchange of fire.

Moreover, another soldier, Havildar Shahid Iqbal, 39, from Mirpurkhas, embraced martyrdom in an IED blast in the Kulachi area of DI Khan.

The military's media wing said that sanitisation operations are being carried out to eliminate any Death Eaters present in the area. It reiterated the determination of security forces to wipe out the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.

Pakistain has been facing the daunting challenge of terrorism for the last year as several incidents of terror and violence have taken place lately. Earlier today, 14 soldiers were martyred as hard boyz attacked a security forces convoy in Gwadar.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir last week said that the armed forces and its security and intelligence setups have fought the menace of terrorism in an exemplary manner despite sustained and varied support of inimical forces.

"Success will be ours InshAllah with the continued support of the people of Pakistain," COAS Munir said.

, said Caretaker Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Firdous Jamal Shah on Friday

According to law enforcement officials, gunshots were also heard after the earth-shattering kaboom.

The blast took place in Tank Adda in the city near a police van, injuring 22 people who are being shifted to a nearby hospital. Some of the injured are at death's door.

The minister also shared that among the 22 included two coppers and said was saddened by the news.

"Those elements involved in the earth-shattering kaboom and terrorism will be brought to justice," assured the minister.

Last month, two blasts occurred in KP and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
, killing scores of people on the day of Eid Miladun Nabi — the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (PTUI!).

The blast in KP's Hangu, which took place during the Friday sermon, killed five and injured 12 people.

Hangu District Police Officer Nisar Ahmed said two jacket wallahs were involved in the attack — one targeted the gate of the cop shoppe, and the other went kaboom! inside the mosque.

Moreover, two coppers were also injured during the firing, officials of the law enforcement agency said, adding that the other bully boy went kaboom! inside the mosque.

Earlier in the day, a suicide kaboom in Balochistan's Mastung district killed at least 35 people including a police officer while injuring over 45.

14 soldiers martyred as terrorists attack security forces' vehicles in Gwadar
[GEO.TV] At least 14 soldiers were martyred when holy warriors attacked two vehicles carrying security forces in Gwadar, the military's media wing said Friday.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), in a statement, said that the unfortunate incident occurred when the security convoy was moving from Pasni to Ormara in Gwadar district.

The military's wing added that a sanitisation operation was being carried out in the area and perpetrators of "this heinous act will be hunted down [and] brought to justice".

The ISPR mentioned that the security forces are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country and such sacrifices of "our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve".

Interim Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani strongly condemned the terrorist attack.


"Such acts are utterly reprehensible. Our thoughts and prayers are with families of the martyred and injured. Pakistain stands resolute against terrorists," he said in a post on X.

The nation of 240 million has faced a surge in terrorism in recent months, with the Tehrik-e-Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
Pakistain (TTP) and other bad boy outfits intensifying their actions against security forces.

In response, the state has also launched operations to curb terrorism.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir last week said that the armed forces and its security and intelligence setups have fought the menace of terrorism in an exemplary manner despite sustained and varied support of inimical forces.

"Success will be ours InshAllah with the continued support of the people of Pakistain," COAS Munir said.

Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS), in a report released in October, noted that the security forces lost at least 386 personnel in the first nine months of 2023, marking an eight-year high.

U.S. flying drones over Gaza in search of hostages
WASHINGTON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - The United States has been flying surveillance drones over Gaza in search of hostages taken by Hamas when the Palestinian militant group attacked Israel on Oct. 7, two U.S. officials said on Thursday.

The two U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the U.S was flying intelligence gathering drones over Gaza to assist with hostage location efforts. One of the officials said they had been carrying out the drone flights for over a week.

U.S. officials have said 10 Americans who remain unaccounted for may be among the more than 200 people taken as hostages into Gaza, where they are believed to be held in Hamas' extensive tunnel network.

Israeli forces on Thursday encircled Gaza City - the Gaza Strip's main city - in their assault on Hamas, which resisted with hit-and-run attacks from underground tunnels.

The city in the north of Gaza has become the focus of attack for Israel, which has vowed to annihilate the Islamist group's command structure and has told civilians to flee to the south.

Hamas fighters launched a surprise attack into Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,400 people, mostly civilians, according to Israeli officials, in the deadliest day of the nation's 75-year history.

Israel's retaliation bombardment and ground offensive of the small Palestinian enclave of 2.3 million has killed at least 9,061 people, according to Gaza health authorities.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Celebrations in southern suburbs as Nasrallah breaks silence on war
Nasrallah should take a deep whiff of what he's shoveling.
[NAHARNET] Gunsex splattered Celebratory gunshots rang out over Beirut as thousands packed into a square in the Lebanese capital's southern suburbs on Friday to watch a televised speech by Hezbollah leader Sayyed His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
It was Nasrallah's first public remarks since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas

war, sparked by the Paleostinian Death Eaters deadly Oct. 7 incursion into southern Israel.

The speech came a day after the most significant escalation in festivities between Hezbollah and Israeli forces on the border since the war started and on the same day as a visit to Israel by the top U.S. diplomat. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken
...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...

City.

In his lengthy remarks, Nasrallah praised the Hamas attack four weeks ago in which the Death Eaters attacked farming villages and military posts in southern Israel. More than 1,400 people were killed in Israel in the attack.

"This great, large-scale operation was purely the result of Paleostinian planning and implementation," Nasrallah said, suggesting that Hezbollah had no part in the attack. "The great secrecy made this operation greatly successful."

Nasrallah's speech had been widely anticipated throughout the region as a sign of whether the Israel-Hamas conflict would spiral into a regional war.

Since the beginning of the war, Hezbollah, an ally of the Paleostinian Death Eater group Hamas, had taken calculated steps to keep Israel's military busy on its border with Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, but not to the extent of igniting an all-out war.

Hezbollah leader calls speed of US support a sign of Israeli weakness

The speed with which the US supported Israel showed how weak the Israeli state was, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrullah said on November 3 .

“The American speed of support for Israel has shown the failure, weakness and infirmity of this entity,” Nasrullah said in a televised address, pointing to the number of trips Western politicians have made to Israel.

Nasrullah said the IDF could not seize the initiative from the Palestinian resistance.

The Hezbollah leader stressed that the United States, while helping Israel, turns a blind eye to the humanitarian catastrophe in the Middle East and the killing of civilians. He called on Muslim countries to sever relations with Israel and stop supplies of energy and food.

The Al-Jarida newspaper reported on November 2 that Hezbollah, amid the growing Palestinian-Israeli conflict, may announce a general mobilization. This will happen if the United States does not stop Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.

Hezbollah threatens mobilization if US does not stop fighting in Gaza

The Lebanese group Hezbollah will announce a general mobilization if the United States does not stop the fighting in the Gaza Strip. Al-Jarida newspaper reported this

According to the source, if the United States does not stop the Israeli military operation in Gaza, Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hasa Nasrullah will announce the mobilization of Lebanese forces for war with Israel.

“The deadline for Hezbollah’s demands to be met is November 3,” the publication said.

Earlier, The New York Times reported that if Israel destroys Hamas, it will have to conduct full-fledged military operations against Hezbollah. According to the authors of the material, Lebanese Hezbollah is one of the most powerful nodes in the network of pro-Iranian paramilitary structures in the Middle East.
