Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Ministry of Internal Affairs: police detained 201 people after riots at Makhachkala airport
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Police detained at least 201 people after a violation of public order at Makhachkala airport, according to the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Media.

Previously, it was known that 83 people had been detained.
Two hundred-plus vicious idiots detained is better than less than half that. Any chance they’ll have to pay of the what — 2 billion rubles of damage the mob caused?
Law enforcement agencies also identified 204 vehicles that were used by the offenders for transportation. Administrative protocols were drawn up against 155 detainees.

82 people were cited for disobedience to a lawful order of an employee, and 107 violators were cited for petty hooliganism. Protocols were drawn up against another 17 citizens for violating the established procedure for organizing and holding a rally.

It is noted that the police detained 70 violators administratively. In 38 such cases, the detainees were given administrative arrest for a period of 10 days.

The department also clarified that on the basis of Article 91 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Russia, police detained 11 people. The Ministry of Internal Affairs promised to identify and bring to justice all participants in the riots.

As Regnum reported , on the evening of October 29, a crowd gathered at Makhachkala airport due to rumors about the arrival of a plane from Tel Aviv with Israelis. People entered the airport terminal and the runway, and then committed pogroms and arson.

After the incident, law enforcement agencies opened a criminal case . On November 3, the RF Investigative Committee informed that, according to preliminary data, the damage from the riots at the airport amounted to hundreds of millions of rubles.
Not nearly as much as 2 billion. They’re getting off easy
On October 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the events in Dagestan were provoked, among other things, by Western intelligence services operating through social networks from the territory of Ukraine. On November 3, the Russian leader said that the unrest at the airport was an attempt to rock Russia from within.

bandidos bully boyz on Israel, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin says today.

The figures have soared to 1,040, he tells La Belle France 2 television, adding that of the 486 people arrested for such offenses, 102 of them were foreigners.

Israeli flag burned outside Swedish synagogue to a chant of ‘bomb Israel’
[IsraelTimes] The European Jewish Congress condemns the burning of an Israeli flag in front of a synagogue in Sweden yesterday.

"We are deeply appalled by the recent pro-Paleostinian protest, which involved the burning of an Israeli flag in front of a synagogue in Malmo, Sweden," the EJC writes today on X. "Intimidating the Jewish community and blaming them for the events in the Middle East is blatant antisemitism."

The statement is about the actions of about 12 people who attended a protest rally outside the synagogue in the Swedish city of Malmo. In addition to the flag burning, at least one participant chanted: "Free Paleostine, bomb Israel."

The rally outside the Malmo synagogue also featured multiple Paleostinian flags.

Videos of the incident show no police presence at the synagogue, which has been the target of several antisemitic acts of vandalism for years.

The anti-Israel rally was to protest Israel’s attack on Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
in 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...
. On October 7, about 3,000 Hamas bandidos bandidos hard boys staged a cross-border assault into Israel, where they murdered some 1,400 people, and kidnapped some 240 more into Gaza. In response, Israel’s offensive in Gaza is aimed at destroying Hamas’s military and governance capabilities, and Israel has vowed to eliminate the entire terror group, which rules the Strip. It says it is targeting all areas where Hamas operates, while seeking to minimize civilian casualties.

Since October 7, there have been dozens of anti-Israel protests and riots across Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and beyond. Jewish communities in Europe are reporting a surge of antisemitic hate crimes, including multiple cases of assault.

Malmo, a southern port city, has a large Moslem population that, according to some estimates, accounts for about a third of the city’s population of roughly 300,000. Its Jewish population has declined from about 800 in 1997 to fewer than 400 in 2019.

Aron Verständig, chair of the Council of Swedish Jewish Communities, on Twitter calls on Malmo Mayor Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh to condemn the incident. Her account on X and the city’s official website have made no references to the incident. Her office does not immediately reply to a request for comment by The Times of Israel.

Fredrik Sieradzki, a spokesperson for the Jewish Community of Malmo, criticizes police for not preventing the actions of the protesters, calling their apparent failure to intervene "reprehensible."

The press department of The Swedish Police Authority does not immediately reply to a request for comment on Sieradzki’s comment.

The Grand Turk
Participants in anti-Israeli protests in Turkey tried to break into the US base
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Participants in an anti-Israeli protest in the city of Adana in Turkey tried to break into the Incirlik military air base, DHA reported.

Law enforcement officers used tear gas and water cannons against the protesters, who called their action “Freedom Convoy for Palestine.”

The action was organized by the Turkish Humanitarian Aid Foundation “Human Rights and Freedoms” (İHH).
That's the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey, a pet cause of neo-Ottoman sultan Erdogan Recep Tayip I, “the much beloved”. Key projects have been trucking supplies to ISIS in Syria, and several iterations of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, which was intended to break the siege of Gaza in 2010, 2011, 2015, and 2016, none of which succeeded in their mission.
Its participants demanded the closure of the American military base, since the United States is helping Israel in attacks on the Gaza Strip. The head of İHH Latif Kaya announced the killing of Gaza civilians by the Israeli army.

“Hospitals, refugee camps, schools, bakeries, cafeterias and every other place you can think of have been attacked, and infrastructure and structures in Gaza have been completely destroyed by occupying Israel,” he said.

The head of the İHH office in Adana, Muhittin Gili , said that in 29 days since the start of hostilities, Israel dropped 18 thousand tons of bombs on Gaza, killing about 10,000 civilians and injuring about 25,000.

One and a half million people were forced to leave their homes. Many health workers, volunteers and journalists died. Gili said protesters were marching on Incirlik.

The convoy, leaving Istanbul, drove to Incirlik, where it was joined by other protesters in cars decorated with Palestinian flags.

India-Pakistan
Pak Purge: Fawad Chaudhry handed over to police on two-day remand
[GEO.TV] Former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry was handed over to the police after a court in the federal capital approved a two-day remand of the politician, a day after he was arrested from his residence in Islamabad.

The court at the District Judicial Complex mandated a medical examination for the politician, directing the police to facilitate his meeting with family members.

The orders came following Fawad's arrest on Saturday, which his wife Hiba claimed was done without any reason. However,
a woman is only as old as she admits...
it was later revealed that the politician was taken into custody after a complaint was filed against him in Islamabad's Aabpara Police Station for soliciting a Rs5 million bribe in exchange for a job.

In the wake of Fawad's arrest, his brother and lawyer, Faisal Chaudhary, filed a petition to the magistrate, seeking his recovery and release.

The court then conducted a hearing on the plea during which the Judicial Magistrate Ahmed Shahzad Gondal sought a report from the Islamabad police on the politician’s arrest.

His wife, Hiba Fawad Chaudhry, earlier claimed that her husband was apprehended and taken to an unidentified place with no reasons provided for his arrest.

Earlier today during the hearing, Fawad was brought to the District Judicial Complex under police security with his face covered with a cloth and hands tied using handcuffs.

The politico's wife and lawyers, Faisal and Faraz Chaudhry as well as Advocate Qamar Inayat Raja, were also present inside the courtroom, where he met them after seeking permission from duty judge Abbas Shah.

The politician's brother and lawyer questioned why Fawad's face was covered with a cloth.

The police, on the other hand, sought a five-day remand of the ex-minister, after a case against him was registered for taking a Rs5 million bribe in exchange for employment.

"Fawad Chaudhary was bitter over the demand for money, on which he threatened to kill me," the plaintiff said in the first information report (FIR) against the politician, claiming that he gave Rs5 million to the former minister.

'Stupid is as Stupid Does': Indiana Woman Messes Up Her Own Antisemitic Hate Crime
[Twitchy] According to Fox 59, Ruba Almaghtheh, 34, was arrested on a preliminary charge of intimidation. A level 5 felony if the threat is to commit terrorism. Allegedly she had planned the attack on the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge. There's just one problem: the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge is a sect of the Black Hebrew Israelites, a well-known antisemitic hate group.

For those who remember, this was the same group who was harassing the Covington School kids several years ago. A viral video showed Nick Sandmann and a group of his peers attending the March for Life on January 18, 2019 when they were approached by a Native American man beating a drum. It was the Smirk Seen 'Round the World. But it turns out that the Black Hebrew Israelites had been harassing the kids to begin with as they were waiting for their bus AND the kids weren't harassing the drummer.

#1  Given a VAST Majority of these Pro Hamas Domestic Terrorists are Liberals, Socialists and/or voting Democrats and have the support of a number of Elected Democrats.

I am sure the Obama run WH & LSD Swamp is cognizance of the fact that American Jewish voters historically have voted in much higher percentages than other voter groups and in 2020 it is estimated American Jews voted about 77% (D) vs. 21% (R). PLUS 4 states with the largest Jewish populations account for 127 +/- of the 240 (over 1/2) Electoral College votes.


So I have to wonder what the slightly more or less than 6 million American Jewish voters think of the new LSD Anti-Semitic run Democrat Party come 2024?

Netanyahu may not last, Biden and aides increasingly believe
[Politico] Joe Biden and top aides have discussed the likelihood that Benjamin Netanyahu’s political days are numbered — and the president has conveyed that sentiment to the Israeli prime minister in a recent conversation.
Biden administration control room stoking the fires of chaos and division.
The topic of Netanyahu’s short political shelf life has come up in recent White House meetings involving Biden, according to two senior administration officials. That has included discussions that have taken place since Biden’s trip to Israel, where he met with Netanyahu.

Biden has gone so far as to suggest to Netanyahu that he should think about lessons he would share with his eventual successor, the two administration officials added.
From a man who can no longer spell his own name.
A current U.S. official and a former U.S. official both confirmed that the administration believes Netanyahu has limited time left in office. The current official said the expectation internally was that the Israeli PM would likely last a matter of months, or at least until the early fighting phase of Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip was over, though all four officials noted the sheer unpredictability of Israeli politics.

"There’s going to have to be a reckoning within Israeli society about what happened," said the official who, like others, was granted anonymity to detail private conversations. "Ultimately, the buck stops on the prime minister’s desk."
Regime Change message, source unidentified.
The administration’s dimming view of Netanyahu’s political future comes as the president and his foreign policy team try to work with, and diplomatically steer, the Israeli leader as his country pursues a complicated and bloody confrontation with Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls Gaza and attacked Israel on Oct. 7.

The Pivot: Thousands rally in Tel Aviv for hostages; Netanyahu critics renew Jerusalem protests
These people are disgusting. They were embarrassed to show anything but solidarity for three whole weeks before the same old anti-Bibi protest pivoted themselves from anti-judicial overhaul to a new excuse for screaming their frustration that they’re not in charge.
[IsraelTimes] Rockets fired at center of country shortly after demonstration at renamed ’Captives Square’; three arrested in Jerusalem as hundreds call for PM to accept responsibility, step down

Thousands of people gathered at the recently renamed Captives Square in central Tel Aviv Saturday night to show support for the families of the hundreds of people held hostage by the Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
terror group in 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...
Shortly after the rally, remaining participants, including families of some of the hostages, were forced to scramble for cover as rockets were launched from Gaza at the central city and surrounding areas, a reminder of the war still raging in the south as Israel seeks to topple Hamas while also seeking the captives’ release.
A war that is still far from over, and it would be very, very helpful if they were not actively undermining the effort.
There were no reports of injuries or damage in the barrage, which has become a regular occurrence since war erupted a month ago.

And in Jerusalem and elsewhere, hundreds renewed protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing the premier of mishandling the war and hostage negotiations and calling for his resignation.

Outside the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, participants held up posters with pictures of those kidnapped by Hamas forces of Evil on October 7, calling for them to be brought home even as they expressed a variety of views on how to best achieve that goal.

Ramos Aloni, whose daughters Danielle and Sharon are being held captive with their small children and Sharon’s husband, said Israel should only accede to demands for humanitarian aid and a ceasefire "if it goes two ways."

"If the prime minister is saying, ’Together we will win,’ together means with the captives," Aloni told the crowd. "No ceasefire without releasing all the captives."
Bibi has already promised that.
At least 246 people were kidnapped by Hamas forces of Evil who rampaged through southern Israel on October 7, the vast majority civilians, including young children and the elderly. Four people have been released and a soldier was freed by troops who have entered Gaza to eliminate Hamas. There are also two Israelis who have been held in Gaza since 2014.
That includes the 60 captives Hamas just claimed died in Israel’s bombing, whose bodies could be returned, one assumes.
Netanyahu has come under pressure from some families to consider an offer dangled by Hamas to release all captives in exchange for all of its prisoners being held by Israel. Netanyahu’s administration has dismissed the offer as an insincere ploy, and has also resisted calls for a humanitarian pause in the fighting without receiving hostages in exchange.

Opening the rally, Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai referenced the anniversary of the liquidation of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin exactly 28 years earlier.

Rabin "knew how to make difficult decisions," Huldai said.

Netanyahu must now do so and bring back all the captives, said Huldai.

"We understand how big this hour is," he said.

In between the speakers, the crowd bursts into chants of "Bring them home — now!"
There’s the pivot.
Gabi Yarkoni, head of the Eshkol Regional Council on the Gaza border, addressed Gazooks directly in a speech, noting that many had once found employment in the kibbutzim and other agricultural communities attacked on October 7, in an assault that left some 1,400 people dead, the vast majority civilians.

"You were our neighbors, we gave you work, we wanted you to have good lives," said Yarkoni. "But this period is over, no more good neighbors without giving us back our people."
I’d go with no good neighbours ever, but it’s not my country.
Merav Leshem Ronen, whose 23-year-old daughter, Romi, was taken captive from the Nova music rave, offered her own threat to Hamas.

"To the leaders of Hamas we say, if you took our beloved ones, you will be in danger wherever you are, all over the world," she said.

Turning to her daughter, who will mark 30 days in Hamas captivity on Sunday, she added "we won’t forget anyone in there, we are here for one another."

Haim Jellin, a former head of the Eshkol council and a resident of Kibbutz Be’eri, one of the worst-hit communities, said the war could only be completed with the end of Hamas and the return of all hostages.

He described the recovery of the once vibrant region, which has suffered years of Gazook rocket attacks and a seemingly endless procession of wars, noting the people of Israel lining up with flags, "as we rebury our dead in our communities and our factories and fields, and build new houses and replant the Negev green," said Jellin.

"Mr. Prime Minister, bring back our captives and our security," he added.

"We were the human shield on that border," said Shir Segal, whose parents Aviva and Keith were kidnapped from Kibbutz Kfar Aza. "This state didn’t protect its citizens and it’s a huge failure."

Following the rally, many families remained in the square, where they planned on sleeping in tents for a second night as part of their protest.

In Jerusalem, members of the movement formed 10 months ago to protest Netanyahu over his government’s efforts to overhaul the judiciary gathered outside a home being used by the prime minister, accusing the premier of being responsible for failures in the lead-up and response to the October 7 massacres, which largely caught Israel off-guard.

Protesters also called for Netanyahu to approve a swap deal for the captives, the Ynet news site reported.

After a period in which criticism of his government gave way to an overwhelming sense of unity in the wake of the attacks, Netanyahu has come under increasing attacks by critics in recent days, much of it over his refusal to take responsibility for all that went wrong.
It isn’t all his responsibility. The military, the protesters, Israeli intelligence, the CIA, Iran, Hezbollah, and of course Hamas all share in the responsibility. And even if Bibi were indeed the only one to screw up, IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EXISTENTIAL WAR is not the right time for blame-casting. So shut up, sit down, and get on with supporting the war effort, ya hosers.
Police clashed with protesters and arrested three people. They accused protesters of attempting to breach security outside the home where Netanyahu is staying, alleging that "parties" had attempted to "take advantage of the families’ protest to cause disorder," seemingly referring to relatives of hostages and bereaved.
Typical Black Bloc behaviour.
In a statement, police also expressed dismay at what they said were chants among the crowd asking "Where were you" on October 7, referring to the time it took security forces to respond to the onslaught in many places.

"Police lost 58 of their officers that morning, along with dozens who were maimed defending residents of the Gaza border region," the statement said.

During the rally, a protester identified as Ofir Baram, a resident of Kfar Aza who lost his son, aimed fire at Jerusalem police chief Doron Turgeman for the police attempts to contain the protest.

"Turgeman and his people don’t understand that their job is to protect us. We’re what should be protected," he said. "Don’t attack us, not with horses and not with water cannons."

Smaller rallies calling for Netanyahu’s resignation were also held at other places around the country, including Pardes Hanna-Karkur and Beersheba. In Caesarea, where Netanyahu has a private residence, police said they had to separate demonstrators from a small group of counter-protesters, including a woman who accused them of "being Hamas’s representatives."
Indeed.

#1  These people are disgusting. They were embarrassed to show anything but solidarity for three whole weeks before the same old anti-Bibi protest pivoted themselves from anti-judicial overhaul to a new excuse for screaming their frustration that they’re not in charge.

I expect some public violence.

Hezbollah fires rockets at Kiryat Shmona in response to killing of civilians
[An Nahar] Hezbollah on Sunday said it fired rockets at Israel’s north in response to the killing of Lebanese civilians in an Israeli dronezap earlier in the day.

"In response to the brutal and ugly crime that the Zionist enemy committed this afternoon by targeting a civilian car on the al-Maaysra road between Ainata and Aitaroun, which resulted in the martyrdom of a woman and her three toddler grandchildren, the jihadi fighters of the Islamic Resistance® shelled the Kiryat Shmona settlement with several Katyusha rockets," Hezbollah said in a statement.

It added that it "will never tolerate attacks against civilians" and that its responses will be "firm and powerful."

Israeli retaliated by firing four shells at the Hounin Valley.

Earlier in the day, an Israeli army front man had said that an "Israeli citizen" had been killed by Hezbollah missile fire Sunday.

IDF says division struck 1,600 Hamas targets, killed 300+ turbans, found military caches and bomb lab in homes while crossing Gaza
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces releases information on the 36th Division’s operations in 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.

Strip over the past week, during which its forces led a maneuver across the territory, reaching its coastline.

"The role of the division is to surround Gaza City, to attack and destroy selected targets, including significant assets, and the headquarters of the Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
terror organization," the IDF says in a statement.

It says the 36th Division — made up of infantry forces, tanks, artillery, and combat engineers — struck some 1,600 Hamas targets, including infrastructure used by the terror group, weapon depots, anti-tank missile positions and observation posts.

The IDF says the division also killed more than 300 Hamas terror operatives amid the fighting.

It adds that in the last few hours alone, some 50 Hamas sites were hit and several button men were killed in close-quarters fighting.

The division has been moving at a slow pace, in order to properly clear areas of potential threats, including tunnels which are later destroyed.

A major threat that the division is working to counter is the large number of tunnels Hamas has, from which operatives pop out and launch RPGs at armored vehicles, and attempt to ambush forces.

Still, the 36th Division has identified that Hamas has recently struggled to carry out large-scale organized attacks on troops, after Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s killed senior Hamas field commanders.

Heavy artillery strikes have been carried out within just a few hundred meters of the Israeli forces to push back any Hamas operatives seeking to target troops.

The military says it has ways to target Hamas operatives inside tunnels as well.

Amid the incursion, the division made various adjustments to counter Hamas’s use of drones to drop explosives on troops in the Gaza Strip, The Times of Israel has learned.

Meanwhile,
...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck and Manuel's rivalry was entering a new and more dangerous phase...
rockets have not been fired at Israel from the areas that the 36th Division captured.

The IDF believes the ongoing stage in the ground offensive will last several months, in order to achieve the objective of eliminating Hamas’s Gaza City stronghold with minimal casualties to Israeli forces.


IDF says troops uncovered weapons, military equipment at homes in northern Gaza

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says troops of the 551st Brigade scanning residential homes in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza found dozens of weapons, equipment, and intelligence materials.

The IDF says the cache included assault rifles, submachine guns, grenades, explosive devices, protective gear, and drones that are used by Hamas to drop explosives.

Some of the weapons and equipment were destroyed, while some were taken to Israel for further research, the IDF says.

Separately, the IDF says special forces located and destroyed a bomb-making lab in the Gaza Strip today.

Israel okayed Jordanian airdrop into Gaza — report
Jordan’s air force did not exactly show the level of skill Israel’s been using to deliver bombs to Syria, but they’re taking a victory lap anyway.
[IsraelTimes] The Walla news site reports that the Jordanian airdrop of medical aid into Gazoo

The US has not commented on the airdrop, which came after US 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.

and the United Arab Emirates.

Blinken visited the West Bank, Iraq and Cyprus on Sunday as he continued his whirlwind trip, which has focused on aid for beleaguered civilians in Gaza and preventing attacks by Iran-backed groups on American troops.

Jordan says it airdropped medical aid into Gaza, seemingly bypassing Rafah



It is unclear if the aid reached the hospital, or if the operation was carried out with Israel’s knowledge or consent.

Israel has insisted on inspecting all aid entering the Strip via the Rafah crossing with Egypt, fearing that weapons or defensive equipment could be smuggled to the Hamas

Gazooks and others have complained that the amount of aid is too paltry and the pace too slow to reach the Strip.

Israeli reports meanwhile said that an Iron Dome missile was fired at a suspicious target over the border with Lebanon. Lebanese reports said no rockets were fired from Lebanon.

Israeli artillery had in the morning shelled the outskirts of the southern towns of Marwahin, Dhayra, Talbsin, Alma al-Shaab, Naqoua and al-Labbouneh.

Overnight, Hezbollah said that it targeted Israeli troops inside a house in the Metulla settlement, inflicting "certain casualties," in response to "the killing of a number of civilians over the past days."

3 children and woman killed in Israeli strike on car in south Lebanon
[An Nahar] Four relatives of a journalist were killed on Sunday in an Israeli strike in southern Leb

war triggered by the Paleostinian group's October 7 attacks.

The National News Agency (NNA) said the four victims are the sister of radio correspondent Samir Ayoub and her three grandchildren, aged 10, 12 and 14.

They were following the journalist's car in another vehicle when they were killed.

Earlier Sunday, four rescue workers were maimed in an Israeli bombing in southern Lebanon that hit two ambulances, according to the association that owned the vehicles and state media.

NNA said an Israeli strike targeted two ambulances belonging to the Risala Scout association, which operates rescue teams and is affiliated with the Amal movement, a Hezbollah ally.

The association said "a drone from the Israeli occupation forces deliberately targeted... the two vehicles, causing moderate injuries to four paramedics."

It said the attack took place at dawn when the two ambulances were called to evacuate maimed in the village of Tayr Harfa, some three kilometers (two miles) from the border with Israel.

The Israeli army said it had used a drone to target a "terrorist cell that attempted to fire from Lebanon toward the area of Rosh Hanikra in northern Israel."

It said troops had observed "two suspicious vehicles" in the area, but said "the strike was directed at the terrorist cell and not at the vehicles."

Lebanon's health ministry condemned "a cowardly and barbaric attack."
