Africa Horn
Air strike in North Kordofan claims lives, forces displacement
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The town of Jabra al-Sheikh in North Kordofan State witnessed a tragic air strike conducted by Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese army warplanes, resulting in five fatalities and 15 injuries. This aerial assault is part of a series of air strikes targeting villages in the region over the past two weeks, leading to significant displacement among local residents.

Al-Nazir Daw al-Bayt, an activist in North Kordofan State, confirmed the casualties to Sudan Tribune and added that the maimed individuals were transferred to hospitals in El Obeid, the state capital. He emphasized the continuous air strikes by the army on villages in North Kordofan, specifically in Jabra al-Sheikh, al-Hamra, Abu Zaimah, and Sodari, prompting a considerable number of citizens to flee their homes.

The surge in air raids by the Sudanese army coincides with the ongoing control exerted by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) over large areas in North Kordofan. The RSF has imposed a strict siege on El Obeid since the conflict’s inception, engaging in persistent festivities with the Sudanese army as they vie for control of the strategic city connecting the states of Darfur and Kordofan.

This recent air strike and the continued hostilities in North Kordofan highlight the severe humanitarian crisis in the region. Civilians are disproportionately affected, facing displacement, disrupted access to essential resources, and the constant threat to their lives due to the relentless attacks.

#1  The combat in Khartoum/Omdurman, El Obeid in North Kordofan, and Nyala in South Darfur, indicate that the Sudanese Army has really lost control of the nation east of the Nile. Unlike what is occurring in Gaza, no one seems interested in halting THIS humanitarian catastrophe.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Neftekumsk resident convicted in case of links with ISIS
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
A court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced a resident of Neftekumsk to a long term, accused of involvement in a banned terrorist organization. 
We are informed where he’s from but not his name, making him hard to match to any other information in the archive, she whined.
The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced a man whom the FSB convicted of having connections with the Islamic State.

A criminal case was opened against a resident of Neftekumsk in May 2022. According to the security forces, the man “voluntarily joined the ranks of a terrorist organization” and planned to “commit crimes on its behalf,” Interfax-South reports from the Stavropol department of the FSB.

The message does not specify how the convict joined the militants and what exactly he was going to do on behalf of IS*. The court, however, found him guilty and sentenced him to five years and six months in prison.

The article on participation in the activities of a terrorist organization (Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of Russia), under which a resident of Neftekumsk was convicted, provides for a more severe punishment - from ten to twenty years in prison.

The sentence has already entered into force; the man will serve his sentence in a general regime colony. The "Caucasian Knot" does not yet have any comments from the accused or his representative regarding the court verdict.

The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that in November the court sentenced a resident of Stavropol to 12 years in prison, finding him guilty of preparing an explosion at the railway station in Mineralnye Vody. The prosecution also called him an IS supporter.

French court convicts six teens in teacher's beheading case
[GEO.TV] Six teenagers faced a French court's judgment for their involvement in a case of the 2020 beheading of teacher Samuel Paty.

The court delivered sentences ranging from 14 months to two years, all of which were suspended or commuted, meaning no jail time for any defendant.

Paty, a 47-year-old history teacher, was fatally attacked near his school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on October 16, 2020. The attacker, an 18-year-old Chechen refugee,
...that’d be Abdoullakh Anzorov, among whose many personal connections was known wolf Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, the Iranian-Frenchman who only a few days ago geared up with knife and hammer to attack tourists near the Eiffel Tower in a classic case of Sudden Jihad Syndrome. Both miscreants swore fealty to ISIS before heading out for their grisly work. Though of course the Moslem colonists who aided and abetted Mr. Anzorov’s project didn’t bother. Just being Moslem was good enough for them ..
was rubbed out by the police on the spot soon after the attack.

The young attacker acted after social media messages accused Paty of displaying cartoons of Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) from Charlie Hebdo
...Pix/charlieHebdo.jpgA lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
in his class. The trial was held behind closed doors due to the defendants' young ages, between 13 and 15 years old during the events.

Five teens, aged 14 or 15 at the time, were charged with criminal conspiracy for identifying Paty to the killer in exchange for money.

Four received suspended sentences ranging from 14 to 18 months. One of them was sentenced to two years, with 18 months suspended, serving six months with an electronic tag.

A 13-year-old girl falsely claimed Paty asked Moslem students to leave the classroom before showing the cartoons. The court found that she wasn't present during the incident. She received an 18-month suspended sentence.
The Times of Israel adds:
One was given a six-month prison term but allowed to serve under house arrest with an electronic bracelet. The others were given special suspended sentences of between two and three years requiring them to stay in school or jobs. The sentences included special educative follow-up measures that also involved their families.

The girl’s father shared the lies in an online video that called for mobilization against the teacher. Now incarcerated, her father and a radical Islamic activist who helped disseminate virulent messages against Paty are among eight adults who will face a separate trial for adults suspected of involvement in the killing, expected late next year.

The girl’s lawyer Mbeko Tebula said she "doesn’t forgive herself for this lie."

"She didn’t imagine it would... turn into so much horror," he said. "She was 13."

"She will try to move forward," he said. "She will try to rebuild herself as a woman. To live with this permanent guilt, which will not pass through her but will inhabit her."

Man arrested after firing shots at Albany, NY, synagogue, shouting ‘Free Palestine’
[IsraelTimes] Attack on house of worship, with preschool, highlights the steep rise in antisemitic hate crimes outside Israel since the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre and Israel’s war on the terror group

A 28-year-old man was arrested after allegedly firing two shots outside Temple Israel in Albany, New York, on Thursday, the first night of Hanukkah, while shouting "Free Paleostine."

There were no injuries in the shooting on the premises of the Conservative synagogue in New York’s capital, Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement, adding that she had spoken with the congregation’s rabbi. She said in a press briefing, however, that the synagogue has an onsite nursery school, "with at least two dozen children, preschoolers, who were on the premises." She added that the facility went into lockdown but that all children have been released safely to their parents.

Mufid Fawaz Alkhader, 28, was arrested at the scene and will appear in court Friday morning on firearms charges, according to a statement by the FBI. Additional charges, including hate crimes charges, could follow, law enforcement officials said.

The suspect shouted "Free Paleostine" during the incident, the local police chief, Eric Hawkins, said during a presser Thursday evening, confirming reporting by Albany’s Times Union newspaper.

The incident took place on the two-month anniversary of Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
’s October 7 massacre as US Jews grapple with a surge in antisemitism following the onslaught and Israel’s war on Hamas 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...
Hochul said she had directed the New York State Police and the state’s national guard to be on high alert and step up patrols of at-risk sites for Hanukkah, such as synagogues, yeshivas and community centers throughout the state — including New York City, which is home to the largest Jewish population in the United States.

"Any act of antisemitism is unacceptable, and undermining public safety at a synagogue on the first night of Hanukkah is even more deplorable," Hochul said. "We reject hate, antisemitism and violence in all forms."

In the briefing, Hochul noted that the synagogue had been one of several targeted with bomb threats in September.

Law enforcement and Jewish community security groups have reported a surge in antisemitism since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. In New York City, the NYPD reported 62 antisemitic hate crimes last month and 69 attacks in October, a steep increase. Anti-Jewish incidents made up 65% of all hate crimes reported to police last month. There is no comparable data available for antisemitic hate crimes in upstate New York.

Synagogues and other Jewish institutions have been targeted in the wave of hate crimes. Last week, bomb threats were made against 15 synagogues in New York State, including five in upstate areas. The threats were made as part of a campaign intended to interrupt synagogue operations by forcing law enforcement to go to a location, and there did not appear to be any actual danger to the targets, said the director of the Jewish security group the Community Security Initiative, Mitch Silber.
The man arrested for firing a shotgun into the air outside a Jewish temple in upstate New York been federally charged, officials say.

Mufid Fawaz Alkhader, who officials say fired the shotgun twice outside a synagogue in Albany yesterday, has been charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, FBI spokesperson Sarah Ruane says in a statement praising the “swift coordination” between federal, state and local law enforcement.

Alkhader, 28, is a US citizen who was born in Iraq and lives in Schenectady, which is near Albany. He told officers who questioned him that events in the Middle East “have impacted him,” according to court papers.

Alkhader was expected to appear in a federal courtroom in Albany today.

No attorney who could speak for Alkhader had been assigned as of this morning, and no phone number was listed for him in public records.

The episode in New York’s capital city happened on the first night of Hanukkah amid rising fears of antisemitism worldwide and fallout from Israel’s intensifying war in Gaza.

Officials say Alkhader is the man who was arrested shortly after the shots were fired at Temple Israel at around 2 p.m. yesterday. Police did not initially release the man’s name, but Governor Kathy Hochul said he was a local resident.

Albany Police Chief Eric Hawkins said the man said “Free Palestine” when officers arrested him.

No one was injured in the incident, which the chief said was being investigated as a hate crime.
A 28-year-old man accused of firing two rounds from a shotgun into the air outside Temple Israel on Thursday afternoon has been charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person because he allegedly admitted to using marijuana regularly when he was being interviewed by the members of a federal task force following his arrest.

The criminal complaint indicates that Alkhader had waived his Miranda rights and agreed to speak with law enforcement officers on Thursday after he was taken into custody and brought to the Albany Police Department.

Alkhader made a brief appearance Friday morning in federal court. Dressed in an orange jumpsuit and a gray overcoat, he told U.S. Magistrate Judge Christian Hummel that he struggled to understand English. “My English is limited,” he said.

His attorney, a federal public defender, waived Alkhader’s right to seek release from custody but told the court they may seek a hearing at a later date. Alkhader is being held at the Albany County jail.

The ATF task force charged Alkhader on Thursday with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

Law enforcement sources told the Times Union that because the incident involved a shotgun it’s unclear whether state charges could have been filed against Alkhader. But the federal statute that has been on the books for more than 50 years prohibits someone who regularly uses narcotics from possessing a firearm. Marijuana is legal in New York and more than two dozen other states but it remains a Schedule 1 prohibited narcotic under the federal Controlled Substances Act.

India-Pakistan
Five terrorists killed in Tank
[GEO.TV] Five bad boyz were potted by security forces in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Tank district, the army’s media wing confirmed on Friday.

According to a blurb issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the IBO was conducted in the general area of Mullazai of Tank on the reported presence of terrorists.

During the operation, intense fire exchange took place between the troops and terrorists. As a result, five bandidos holy warriors were "sent to hell", the ISPR said.

It added that the slain bandidos holy warriors remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against law enforcement agencies as well as extortion and murder of innocent civilians.

"A cache of weapons, ammunition and explosives was also recovered during the operation," said the military’s media wing.

It further said that the sanitisation operation is being conducted to eliminate any other bandidos holy warriors present in the area, as the security forces of Pakistain are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country.

A day earlier, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir said that illegal foreigners were "seriously affecting" Pakistain’s security and economy, stressing the decision to send them to their home country was taken in the country's interest.

Iraq
Iran-backed militias strike US Embassy in Baghdad, Middle East military bases
[NYPOST] Iran-backed militias fired a barrage of rockets at the US Embassy in Baghdad on Friday — as enemy groups also launched strikes on American forces in Iraq and Syria, according to defense officials.

Roughly 14 Katyusha rockets were fired around 4:15 a.m. Friday, of which some landed near the embassy’s gates.

No injuries were reported but the attack caused superficial damage to facilities.

No specific militia group had grabbed credit for the strike, but officials believe the perpetrator was an Iran-aligned group, of which there are many in the region.

In a statement, Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani spoke out against the attack, saying that "targeting diplomatic missions is something that cannot be justified."

The US military is in Iraq with the consent of its government to continue its anti-ISIS mission.

Meanwhile,
...back at the buffalo wallow, Yellow Wolf clutched at his chest and fell from his horse...
the Iran-backed Islamic Resistance® grabbed credit for separate attacks Friday on US forces stationed at al-Asaf airbase in western Iraq and the Conoco gas field in eastern Syria.

The strikes continue a string of recurring attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria since the Israel-Hamas

conflict broke out in October. Hamas is also backed by Iran.

As of Thursday, there had been about 78 attacks on US forces in the region since Oct. 17 — some of which resulted in minor wounds and traumatic brain injuries, according to Pentagon deputy spokesperson Sabrina Singh.

"I would say that as of Dec. 4, it’s still about 66 of our folks who have received non-serious, non-life-threatening injuries [in the attacks], all who have returned to work," she said.

Six Palestinians said killed as IDF arrests 2 terror suspects in northern West Bank
[IsraelTimes] Military says soldiers exchanged fire with button men during operation; gunfire, blasts and smoke seen and heard in footage from village near Nablus

The Israel Defense Force said Friday it conducted an arrest operation in the northern West Bank in the morning, nabbing two terror suspects and exchanging fire with button men in the Far’a refugee camp north of Nablus. Paleostinian authorities said six Paleostinians were killed in the festivities.

The military said it arrested five suspects throughout the West Bank’s Jordan Valley region, confiscating weapons and ammunition.

It said that in Far’a troops came under fire and killed a number of button men.

The Paleostinian Wafa news agency said an unspecified number of people were also injured.

Gunfire, blasts and smoke could be seen and heard in footage from the scene.

Since the October 7 onslaught by Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
against Israel, in which 3,000 snuffies slaughtered 1,200 people in southern Israel, most of them civilians, Israeli troops have arrested over 2,000 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,100 affiliated with Hamas. According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, some 200 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed by Israeli forces, and in a few cases settlers.

Based on military estimates, the vast majority of the 200 Paleostinians killed since October 7 were rubbed out during festivities amid arrest raids. Around 60 percent of them, according to data seen by The Times of Israel, were armed with either a firearm or an bomb.

The IDF is aware of at least three cases of uninvolved Paleostinians being killed by troops in recent weeks, and a handful of cases of settlers killing Paleostinians, that are still under investigation.

#1  Pants around the ankles is more humane than shackles, right? I hope when it comes time to pull the pants up, they have IDF chicks do it.

Hamas 'beginning to break' as tense video shows IDF facing off with terrorists in ruins of Gaza City school
[NYPOST] Dramatic footage released Friday showed Israel Defense Forces soldiers facing off against Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
murderous Moslems inside a school — as the country’s defense minister vowed that the group’s hold 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. 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...
Strip is finally "beginning to break."

Members of the elite LOTAR Unit, along with the 188th Armored Brigade’s 74th Battalion, encountered a Hamas cell in the remains of a school building in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood, the Times of Israel reported.

IDF fighters appeared to pursue the murderous Moslems through the building in a tense, bullet-ridden standoff, the IDF clips showed.

"The murderous Moslems tried to draw the forces into an ambush, with gunfire and explosives, and were eliminated by the troops of the LOTAR Unit and tank fire of the 74th Battalion," the IDF said of the incident.

The troops later searched the school and discovered a tunnel shaft in one of the classrooms, the Times of Israel added, citing the IDF.

The tunnel — which connected to a nearby mosque — was allegedly used by Hamas operatives.

The intense footage was released shortly after Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant attended a Hanukkah candle lighting with troops of the Border Defense Corps’ Caracal Battalion, the Times of Israel added.

After more than two months of war, Israel is seeing "signs that indicate [Hamas] is beginning to break in Gaza," Gallant said, according to the outlet.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
4 said killed in alleged Israeli drone strike in Syria; rockets fired from Lebanon
[IsraelTimes] IDF doesn’t confirm attack in Quneitra; Hezbollah says it fires heavy rocket at post near Moshav Mattat; injuries reported; military shells 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...
in response


Four people were killed in an alleged Israeli dronezap against a vehicle near the Syrian border in the Golan Heights, Syrian media reported Friday as Israel and Hezbollah shot it out across the Lebanese frontier, with several Israelis reported injured.

According to the Syrian pro-government Sham FM station, the strike took place in Madinat al-Baath in the Quneitra province. It published a picture purportedly showing the car that was hit in flames.

There was no comment from the IDF on the alleged attack.

However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
the military did confirm that it struck targets in Syria early Friday morning, in response to rocket fire the night before.

The two projectiles had landed in open areas near Buq’ata, causing no damage.

While Israel’s military does not, as a rule, comment on specific strikes in Syria, it has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed terror groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country over the last decade.

The Israeli military says it attacks arms shipments believed to be bound for those groups, chief among them Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Additionally, Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s attributed to Israel have repeatedly targeted Syrian air defense systems.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Senate, the partisans of Honorius went for their knives and the partisans of Stilicho went for the doors...
the frequent exchanges of fire continued along the Lebanese border where several rockets were fired at IDF posts, and the Iron Dome intercepted a "suspicious aerial target" that entered Israeli airspace, triggering sirens in several communities in the Upper Galilee, the military said.

One of the posts near Moshav Mattat suffered damage in the rocket attack, and a number of injuries were reported at the scene.

Troops responded with artillery shelling at the sources of the fire and other terror targets in southern Lebanon, the military said.

The Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group grabbed credit for the attacks and claimed that they fired a Burkan heavy rocket at the Mattat post.

Additionally, the IDF stated it carried out a dronezap on a group of armed operatives in the contested Mount Dov area on the Lebanon border overnight.

Since the Israel-Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
war began on October 7, when thousands of faceless myrmidons massacred some 1,200 people in Israel and took some 240 hostages, Israel’s northern front on the border with Lebanon has heated up under constant Hezbollah-led attacks. Daily exchanges of fire with Hezbollah, Hamas and other terror groups are raising fears of a broader conflagration.

Thursday marked the fourth Israeli civilian death along the northern front. The 60-year-old man, identified as Eyal Uzan, was hit in his vehicle by an anti-tank missile in an agricultural field near Moshav Mattat, and was later declared dead from his wounds.

Six soldiers have also been killed along the border with Lebanon since October 7.

More than 110 people have been killed on the Lebanese side, mostly Hezbollah fighters and more than a dozen civilians, according to an AFP tally. Hezbollah has said that 79 of its members have been killed since the war’s outbreak in southern Lebanon.
Update at 4:55 p.m. ET: One of the targets was Hassan Ali Daqduq, son of senior Hezbollah member Ali Daqduq. See here.

#1  4 said killed

Is 'said' being used as a synonym for 'allegedly' or do they mean four guys named (Mohamed probably) Sa'id got waxed?
