Video 'shows Ukrainian special forces
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Video footage appears to show Ukrainian special forces 'cleaning up' Wagner Group troops in Sudan, ambushing the mercenaries with RPGs in shocking urban warfare.

Grainy infrared footage shot from above shows Ukrainian soldiers in a dense unnamed area in Sudan 'within the last two weeks', according to the Kyiv Post.

The clip shows the unit moving to surround a compound and alleged hostile mercenaries highlighted with red squares.

From one view, multiple targets are seen moving around in a building, apparently unaware of the approaching operatives. An explosion suddenly rocks the building, which erupts with a huge plume of smoke.

A Ukrainian soldier is seen firing a hand-held RPG towards the window of the building.

A source in Ukraine's security and defense sector told the Kyiv Post that Ukrainian special forces are currently working in Sudan to 'clean up' Wagner PMC, as well 'their local terrorists and the Russian Federation's special services'.

They said: 'The footage probably shows the work of special units of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.'

Pak Purge: Anti-terrorism court grants bail to Sheikh Rashid in May 9 riots case
[GEO.TV] An anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi on Monday granted interim bail to Awami Moslem League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed in a case pertaining to the violent mostly peaceful incidents of May 9.

The former interior minister was granted bail against surety bonds worth Rs50,000 in a case registered with the Waris Khan cop shoppe in Rawalpindi.

The May 9 riots were triggered almost across the country after deposed prime minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
’s arrest in the £190 million settlement case. Hundreds of PTI workers and big shots were put behind bars for their involvement in violence and attacks on military installations.

During the protests, the miscreants targeted the civil and military installations including — Jinnah House and the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi. The military termed May 9 "Black Day" and decided to try the protesters under the Army Act.

Resurfacing after a month-long disappearance on October 20, the close aide Khan, however, sought pardon for "commoners" involved in the May 9 incidents.

At the outset of today’s hearing, Rashid appeared before the court accompanied by his lawyer Sardar Abdul Razzaq Khan. During the court of proceedings, Rashid’s counsel argued that his client had nothing to do with the events of May 9, adding that there was no evidence showing his client’s involvement in the violent mostly peaceful protests.

At this, the court approved his interim bail and ordered him to submit surety bonds worth Rs50,000.

Meanwhile,
...back at the the conspirators' cleverly concealed hideout the long-awaited message arrived. They quickly got to work with their decoder rings...
ATC judge Justice Malik Ejaz Asif asked: "Sheikh sahib! You are looking weak. Is your health okay?"

"I lost 31kg weight during a 40-day Chilla [isolation]" replied the former interior minister.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israeli forces engage with Hamas fighters near Gaza City's Shifa Hospital which IDF believes sits on top of the terrorist group's HQ
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Israeli forces have pushed further into Gaza and engaged Hamas fighters near the Shifa Hospital, is have been reported.

The IDF claims the hospital sits on top of the terror group's headquarters, and accuses Hamas's leaders of using it as a civilian shield against Israeli strikes.

Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, a spokesman for the Israeli military, said the country's forces were 'deepening the pressure' on Gaza City, with anticipation for a full ground offensive into the city's narrow streets now building.

IDF troops were reportedly near the enclave's Shifa Hospital - Gaza's main and largest medical facility - which sits about 800 yards from the coast.

The advance comes after Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Israel will take control of the 'overall security' of the Gaza Strip after his country's war with Hamas . Resisting calls for a ceasefire, the PM said there would be no letup in the war to destroy the terror group, whose attack one month ago today left 1,400 dead in Israel.

As he spoke, it is understood that IDF troops have been preparing to enter Gaza City, a mass of narrow streets and densely packed neighbourhoods. Residents escaping the north of Gaza said they passed tanks in position to possibly storming it.

Israel says its forces have surrounded Gaza City, home to a third of the enclave's 2.3 million people,
...a third of 2.3 million is about 760,000, for those who want the math...
and are poised to storm it soon in their campaign to annihilate the Hamas terrorists who attacked Israeli towns exactly a month ago.

Rear Daniel Hagari said the IDF killed several Hamas field commanders in airstrikes and operations overnight which aimed to 'significantly harms Hamas's ability to carry out counterattacks' - signalling the assault is drawing nearer. He also said Israeli combat engineers were working to demolish each and ever tunnel they came across using 'different and diverse devices.'

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, meanwhile, praised the efforts of the IDF's operations in the coastal strip in the past 24 hours as being 'very impressive.'

'The combination between the air force and ground forces shakes the Gaza Strip,' Gallant said in a video statement. On the Hamas field commanders killed in air strikes, he added: 'some of them were the ones we eliminated a day or two ago and they were replaced by others, and they were also eliminated.'

With international criticism of Israel's conduct of the war mounting, the Hamas-run health ministry says the death toll from Israel's bombardment of the territory - launched in response to the October 7 attack - surged past 10,000 people yesterday.

More than 1.5 million people in densely packed Gaza have fled their homes for other parts of the territory in a desperate search for cover,
...65% of the Gaza Strip’s population, as warned by Israeli leaflets and phone calls to the cell phones of residents...
with critical aid only trickling in.

Last night, Netanyahu told ABC News the war would continue until Israel had restored 'overall security' control of Gaza, adding that Gaza should be governed by 'those who don't want to continue the way of Hamas'.

'Israel will, for an indefinite period, have the overall security responsibility,' he said. 'When we don't have that security responsibility, what we have is the eruption of Hamas terror on a scale that we couldn't imagine.'

While key Israeli ally the United States is seeking a humanitarian 'pause' in the fighting, several countries and UN agencies have repeatedly called for a ceasefire. But Netanyahu has resisted the calls so far, and in his comments said he had no intention of changing his approach.

'There will be no ceasefire - general ceasefire - in Gaza, without the release of our hostages,' Netanyahu said.

'As far as tactical, little pauses - an hour here, an hour there - we've had them before. I suppose we'll check the circumstances in order to enable goods - humanitarian goods - to come in or our hostages, individual hostages, to leave,' he added.

'But I don't think there's going to be a general ceasefire. It will hamper the war effort, it will hamper our effort to get our hostages out, because the only thing that works on these criminals in Hamas is the military pressure we're exerting.'

In its October 7 attack, Hamas gunmen took more than 240 people hostage, including children and elderly people, into Gaza. The attack that prompted Israel's massive bombardment of Gaza and an intensifying ground offensive.
Such an anodyne description of deliberately brutal murder and rapine, the details of which drove hardened reporters to speechless tears.
Asked if there would be a pause if Hamas agrees to release the hostages, Netanyahu said 'there would be a ceasefire for that purpose, and we're waiting for that to happen. It hasn't happened so far.'

Asked if Israel knows where the hostages are inside Gaza, the PM said while the country has some intelligence, 'I'm not sure its wise to share it here with Hamas.'

Around 30 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the offensive,
That means slow is fast. the latest on Monday, according to a report from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), citing Israeli sources.

Israel has air-dropped leaflets and sent text messages ordering Palestinian civilians in northern Gaza to head south. A US official said Saturday at least 350,000 civilians remained in the worst-hit areas.
Hamas got an estimated 15% of the population (or perhaps 30% of the population of the northern half of Gaza) to remain as human shields, whether because of patriotic sentimentality or by force.
The Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt reopened Monday to allow the evacuation of foreigners and dual nationals, the Hamas government said, ending a two-day closure prompted by a dispute over the passage of ambulances.

On Monday, 93 aid trucks carrying food, medicine and water crossed from Egypt into Gaza, the United Nations said, but the needs are overwhelming.
Especially when the warehouses are raided by the strong before the supplies can be handed out to the most needy.
A convoy including four ambulances arrived in Egypt via the Rafah crossing on Monday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said.
Full of injured Hamasniks, one imagines. Or not injured but important Hamasniks. Which is why they were not let through.
'I have lost my home and have nothing left. I came here with nothing but the clothes I'm wearing,' said Dana Okal, a Swedish passport holder.
Just like the Israelis and international workers and visitors who fled the Gaza border areas. But the Israelis made sure they quickly were given a place to stay, supplies, and medical care, unlike either the Hamas government or Palestinian civilians, whose culture does not drive them to self-organize to give aid to needy strangers.
Israel withdrew its troops from the Gaza Strip in 2005. A year later, Hamas won elections in Gaza, and subsequently seized control of the territory in 2007.
There was a short, sharp civil war, upon which the Palestinian Authority (Fatah in fancy uniforms) folded like a wet paper napkin.
The Fatah party of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, which dominates the Palestinian Authority, only exercises limited autonomy in parts of the West Bank.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken suggested last week that the Palestinian Authority should retake control of Gaza after the war,
...an amusing thought. They could try, one supposes...
and visited the West Bank to meet Abbas on Sunday. He has advocated for a two-state solution.

But Hamas said they would never accept a puppet government in Gaza and that 'no force on Earth could annihilate' it, said senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan.
Challenge clearly accepted.
Hamas militants fired 16 rockets from Lebanon towards northern Israel on Monday, while Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels claimed they had launched a fresh drone attack against Israel. Such attacks have raised fears of a wide conflict.

, south of Gaza City. The IDF has completed encircling northern Gaza, separating Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
strongholds in the north from the south. This strategy is proving to be effective when contending with Hamas.

The IDF continues to strike terror infrastructure in Gaza and intensify ground operations in the northern Gaza strip. Troops in Gaza are engaged in close quarter combat, and conducting coordinated strikes, together with the navy and air force. These ground operations have unearthed a significant number of rocket launchers, tunnels, and ammunition stores.

Last night IDF forces secured a Hamas stronghold in northern Gaza, killing a number of terrorists. This stronghold contained tunnel openings, training facilities, and lookout positions.

The IDF is also continuing to target Hamas big turbanship. Yesterday the IDF, relying on ISA intelligence, targeted Jamal Mussa who was responsible for the special security operations in the Hamas terrorist organization.

The IDF continues to call on all residents still in north Gaza to move south. Like yesterday, humanitarian corridors were opened by the IDF for this purpose (video here).

In the last day, Israel has struck 450 Hamas targets in Gaza.

Humanitarian aid continues to enter Gaza with 75 trucks crossing into Gaza

NORTHERN ISRAEL
In response to attacks on northern Israel, the IDF struck a number of targets in southern 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...
, including rocket depots, and Hezbollah military positions.

Over the last 24 hours IDF forces neutralized a number of bandidos murderous Moslems attempting to fire into Israeli territory. Yesterday, a UAV identified deep inside Lebanon that was flying toward Israel was intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array over Lebanon. Several rockets were launched from Lebanon toward Avivim and Malkia in northern Israel.

The IDF remains well-prepared along the northern border. As the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, said in a briefing in the Northern Command yesterday, "We are ready to strike in the north at any moment".

OTHER ARENAS
Since the start of the war the IDF and ISA have arrested 850 Hamas suspects in Judea and Samaria. The IDF, together with other security agencies, continues to work around the clock for the safe return of every hostage.

To date, we have notified the families of 348 soldiers who fell in battle since October 7th. A total of 240 hostages remain in captivity in Gaza.

#1  Pro-Palestinian protestor suspected of killing Jewish man in LA

According to witnesses at the scene, a verbal altercation broke out between an older Jewish man and a young pro-Palestinian protester. Suddenly, the protester struck the older man in the head with a megaphone he was holding.

#7  struck the older man in the head with a megaphone

But Red State gives the sheriff’s department report, which states:

Upon arrival, responding deputies located Kessler, who was suffering from a head injury. Witness accounts indicated that Kessler was involved in a physical altercation with counter-protestor(s). During the altercation, Kessler fell backwards and struck his head on the ground. Kessler was transported to an area hospital for advanced medical treatment. On November 6, 2023, Kessler succumbed to his injuries.

An autopsy was performed on November 6th and the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the cause of death to be blunt force head injury and the manner of death homicide.


And there is no indication that the megaphone wielder has been identified, or will be. It’s nice that Paul Kessler is officially labelled as murdered, but it sure looks like the defense attorney, should one ever be needed, will be able to drive it down to accidental death with very little effort.

Thumb farsical.resistance 14 hours ago 11

My god what the sacrifices this man is making! How much agony can one man take! And they say Haniyeh's not suffering with the Gazans! Poppycock and balderdash I say! Look at him leaving the luxury of luxuries in Qatar behind and Tehran's red carpet welcome and slumming it by coming to Lebanon. But how's he gonna cope? With no electricity, no water, hot or otherwise and lacking most of the five star amenities he's gotten accustomed to to. I guess some sacrifices are worth it when you are trusted with a message to hand deliver. I mean someone had to personally relay Khamenei's orders. After all who trusts the usual means of communications.

Netanyahu to ABC News: There will be no ceasefire without the release of our hostages
[IS National News] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday once again rejected the idea of a ceasefire in Gaza unless hostages are released.

During an interview with ABC News "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir, Netanyahu was pressed on the Biden administration's calls for humanitarian pauses in Gaza.

"There will be no ceasefire, general ceasefire, in Gaza without the release of our hostages," Netanyahu stressed. "As far as tactical little pauses, an hour here, an hour there. We've had them before, I suppose, will check the circumstances in order to enable goods, humanitarian goods to come in, or our hostages, individual hostages to leave. But I don't think there's going to be a general ceasefire."

"I think it will hamper the war effort. It'll hamper our effort to get our hostages out because the only thing that works on these criminals in Hamas is the military pressure that we're exerting," he added.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
US tells Iran and Hezbollah it's ready to back Israel militarily
[NAHARNET] The U.S. administration has warned Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. 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. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Hezbollah that it is ready to intervene against them if they attack Israel, a media report said on Monday.

"The Biden administration has ... sent messages to Iran and Hezbollah, through regional partners including The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
, that the United States would be prepared to intervene militarily against them if they launched attacks against Israel," the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

quoted officials as saying.

Israel-Hezbollah border skirmishes: Latest developments
[NAHARNET] Israel shelled Monday the outskirts of the southern border towns of Alma al-Shaab, al-Naqoura, and al-Khiyam.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pond, the enormous newt was trying to decide if Gloria was edible...
Israeli residents near 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...
's border have been asked to stay home over a suspected security incident.

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi had called on Lebanese officials to abide by Resolution 1701, which compels Israel and Hezbollah to instantly halt all attacks and military operations, as the killing of four Lebanese civilians, including a woman and three children, raised the likelihood of a dangerous new escalation in the conflict on the Lebanon-Israel border.

Israeli troops and Hezbollah have been clashing for a month along the border since the start of the Israel-Hamas

war. While festivities remain largely contained, they have increased in intensity as Israel conducts a ground incursion 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...
against Hezbollah ally Hamas.

Shortly after the Israeli strike on a car carrying a family between the towns of Ainata and Aitaroun, Hezbollah fired Grad rockets
...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km....
from southern Lebanon into Israel in response. A number of rockets hit the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona.

The death of the woman and three children raised the number of civilians killed on the Lebanese side in the border festivities to at least 14, while at least two Israeli civilians have been killed, as well as seven Israeli soldiers and dozens of fighters with Hezbollah and allied groups in Lebanon.

Hezbollah officials have warned that if Israel kills Lebanese civilians, it will be considered a violation of the rules of engagement and it will retaliate by attacking civilian targets.
