[SUDANTRIBUNE] 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 volunteer group reported on Sunday that Sudanese army warplanes bombed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) troops near Sennar, a central Sudanese city, in an apparent attempt to halt the RSF’s advance towards the city.
The Sennar Youth Gathering issued a statement saying, "In the ongoing battles between the army and the RSF, warplanes targeted RSF forces in the Sennar sugar factory area, located west of the state."
Since the RSF extended their control over the entirety of al-Jazirah State on December 18, they have moved into areas near Sennar State, establishing outposts in Hajj Abdallah and Wad al-Haddad, located south of Madani.
On Saturday, intense festivities erupted between the army and the RSF in villages belonging to Wad al-Haddad locality in al-Jazirah State, before the RSF expanded their presence and set up a base at the Sennar Sugar Factory.
The deteriorating security situation sparked widespread confusion in Sennar, with merchants beginning to withdraw their goods. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... market activity gradually resumed as security forces deployed extensively, according to eyewitness accounts.
Since December 15, Sennar, located 110 kilometres south of Madani, has been accommodating a large influx of people fleeing the conflict in al-Jazirah State. Some of these displaced individuals have been sheltered in schools that have been converted into temporary shelters, while others remain in the city’s popular and large markets without adequate shelter.
Concerns are mounting that the RSF will expand their reach towards Sennar, and Blue Nile states in southeastern Sudan, and the states of Gedaref and Kassala in eastern Sudan, following their complete takeover of Gezira State in the centre.

[ShabelleMedia] A powerful explosion in Mogadishu, Somali capital killed one person and maimed two others amid relative calm in the coastal city.
Abdiwahab Osman Ahmed, an employee with Hormuud, Somalia’s largest Telecom company lost his precious life after an IED attached to a minibus belonging to the giant firm went off while driving in Huriwa district.
Two other staff members who sustained critical wounds were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment, according to the company. No group has yet grabbed credit for the attack targeted Hormuud Telecom’s vehicle.
The incident comes 10 days after a landmine struck a car ferrying security guards of the privately-owned phone company outside Mogadishu, killing a staffer identified as Ahmed Omar Abdulle.
Last month, a series of IED blasts targeted Hormuud Telecom’s branches and BTS in Deynile and Elasha Biyaha areas and no group or individual claimed yet responsibility.

[Garowe] Several al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... bandidosmurderous Moslems were killed in a suspected US army Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s within Somalia officials said, in the latest crackdown geared towards restoring peace and stability in the Horn of Africa nation which has been struggling with instability.
According to multiple sources, the US Africa Command, with assistance from the Somali National Army (SNA), killed over 55 al-Shabaab bandidosmurderous Moslems in the Mudug region within Galmadug, marking one of the most deadly setbacks for the hard boys.
The airstrike, sources say, left over 40 bandidosmurderous Moslems badly maimed, with the defense ministry confirming that the operations will go on as planned to neutralize al-Shabaab, a group that has traditionally caused chaos in the country.
Without giving several casualties, state media confirmed that a series of airstrikes were conducted at Jeex-jeexa forest, adding that the operation targeted Caad and Cadaley villages. The bandidosmurderous Moslems were gathering in the area, officials added.
"Somalia's National Army and International allies launch pre-dawn air assault, dismantling al-Shabaab bases in Mudug's Jeex-jeexa Forest. Precision strikes hit hard boy gathering near Caad and Cadaley," state media reports.
The airstrikes come just days after the government of Somalia announced the death of Moalim Ayman, the commander responsible for al-Shabaab attacks in Kenya and Somalia. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... despite confirming the death, US Africa Command has not confirmed the name.
Ayman is believed to be the architect of the attack in Manda airstrip attack in January 2020 in Kenya which left three Americans dead. Since then, the US Africa Command has increased the intensity of operations within East Africa, a critical region for its stability.
[ShabelleMedia] The Ministry of Defense said on Sunday that SNA soldiers — backed by local clan militias — have killed upwards of 130 al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... snuffies and maimed dozens more in different operations in the country’s south and central regions.
According to a statement, the Somali National Army carried out operations in Hirshabelle, Galmudug ...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth... , and Jubaland State, where the joint forces ransacked dozens of murderous Moslem bases.
"The Somali National Army with the help of the local clan forces killed over 130 al-Shabaab gunnies and recovered weapons and supplies of medicine and foodstuff from the snuffies in different parts of Somalia," it said.
A military campaign launched last year by the army and allied clan-based militias in central Somalia seized significant swathes of land from the snuffies early on but has registered mixed results of late.
Although government forces have captured several major towns, al-Shabaab has been able to reclaim some of the territory it lost and conduct deadly raids on military bases.
The current phase of the offensive against al-Shabaab focuses on central Somalia. The government promises a second phase that will go after the group in its strongholds in the country’s south, where analysts say the group will be even harder to defeat.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch shot Black Bart's knife out of his hand...... the AU mission in Somalia resumed the drawdown of 3,000 African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another.

Houthis attack two oil tankers in the Red Sea Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] In the Red Sea, the Houthis carried out a drone attack on two oil tankers sailing under the flags of Norway and India, US Navy Central Command reported on December 23 on social media.
The US military received information about attacks on tankers in the southern part of the sea in the evening.
“The Norwegian-flagged vessel BLAAMANEN, operated as a chemical and oil tanker, reported a miss by a Houthi strike drone, with no casualties or damage reported. The second vessel, SAIBABA, a Gabonese-owned Indian-flagged crude oil tanker, reported a collision with a drone, with no injuries reported,” the US Navy said in a statement.
The American destroyer Laboon responded to the distress calls. The attacks were the 14th and 15th times Houthi militants have attacked commercial ships since October 17, the military said.

^ The sources told Reuters that the adviser, known as Sayyed Razi Mousavi, was responsible for coordinating the military alliance between Syria and Iran.
Iran's state television interrupted its regular news broadcast to announce that Mousavi had been killed, describing him as one of the Guards' oldest advisers in Syria.
It said he had been "among those accompanying Qassem Soleimani", the head of the Guards' elite Quds Force who was killed in a U.S. drone attack in Iraq in 2020.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said the assassination of Mousavi showed weakness on the part of Israel.

[Breitbart] Anti-Israel activists shut down Christmas shopping on Oxford Street in London on Saturday and blockaded stores supposedly for supporting Israel’s war against Islamist Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... bully boyz 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... Oxford Street, Britannia’s most famous shopping street was blocked off by around 1,000 pro-Paleostinian protesters on what is expected to be the busiest shopping day of the year, the day before Christmas Eve.
Blocking off entrances to stores, activists were heard demanding that Christmas shoppers boycott "Israeli-linked" brands. According to GB News, leaflets given out by protesters said: "No Christmas as usual in a genocide. The UK is complicit. Don’t fund genocide in Paleostine. Boycott Israel."
Storefronts for major brands including Omega, Italian leather goods company Furla, and the Spanish fashion brand Zara were all forced to close down during the protest.
"Zara, Zara, you can’t hide, stop supporting genocide," the activists reportedly chanted in apparent response to an advertising campaign earlier this month that drew controversy for supposedly using similar imagery from the war in Gaza, a charge the firm denied, stating that the ads were developed prior to the October 7th Hamas terror attacks on Israel.
"While you’re shopping, bombs are dropping," they reportedly chanted.
The protest was organised by the radical feminist group Sisters Uncut, who proclaimed on social media: "NO BUSINESS AS USUAL AS PEOPLE ARE TRAPPED UNDER RUBBLE. CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED."
One would think that radical feminists would be radically against the toxic patriarchy that is radical Islam. One would be shockingly wrong.
According to The Telegraph, the genocidal refrain "From the river to the sea, Paleostine will be free" was also heard at the demonstration. The phrase serves as a call to arms demanding the eradication of the state of Israel and its people from their ancestral homeland, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
The Metropolitan Police had a limited presence at the demonstration and did not make any arrests while shops were forced to close on Oxford Street, the Daily Mail reported. It is unclear if the police were made aware of the protest beforehand and if they were, why there was no effort made to keep the shopping street open.
GB News political commentator Darren Grimes said in response to the latest anti-Israel protest: "Our capital city is under siege by these protests"
"Shops are locking their doors on the most important piece of real estate all year," Grimes added.
Typically, December 23rd is one of the busiest days of shopping for Christmas in Britannia, with UK shoppers spending nearly £1.6 million on the same day last year.
[DW] Authorities accuse the two Syrians in German custody of membership in a terrorist group and having committed war crimes in Damascus a decade ago.
German prosecutors have charged two Syrian men with war crimes they are accused of having committed some 10 years ago in the Syrian capital Damascus, as part of the so-called 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.... krazed killer group.
In line with German privacy rules, the Federal Prosecutors Office on Friday identified the two men as Mohammad A. and Asmael K. in a statement on its website. Authorities said both suspects were charged with being members of a foreign terror organization and of "hostage-taking resulting in death."
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE SUSPECTS?
According to German prosecutors, the two men joined the IS group around 2013.
Asmael K. was accused of killing people protected under international humanitarian law. He is believed to have guarded 12 prisoners and shot at least one of them dead.
Mohammad A. was accused of founding an armed unit in Damascus that is reported to have planted bombs at state offices. He was also charged with joining IS and commanding some 200 fighters.
The two men are currently in German custody. A court in the western city of Dusseldorf will decide whether they will face trial.
Germany took in during the past decade hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing the civil war there, ongoing since 2011. Recently, some of those Syrians have been arrested and even tried over crimes committed back home.
The two men, identified as Mohammad A. and Asmael K. per German privacy rules, were arrested in March and are accused of membership of a foreign terror organization and "hostage-taking resulting in death."
“At the end of 2013, Mohammad A. together with the ISIS fighting unit in his command abducted two opponents of the organization,” prosecutors said in a statement.The victims were held at an ISIS detention center and later “executed” with 10 other prisoners.
Asmael K. is alleged to have joined ISIS as a fighter in 2013 and taken part in the abduction in question.
He is also accused of guarding the 12 prisoners at the site where they were killed and shooting at least one person.
A court in the western city of Duesseldorf will now decide whether the two men, who are in custody, will go to trial.

[DW] The raids were part of a probe into allegations that members of the group Zora were using emblems of the PFLP, which Israel, the EU and the US have designated a terrorist organization.
Police in Berlin, Germany's capital, conducted on Wednesday a raid targeting members of a pro-Paleostinian, left-wing feminist group, German media reported.
The Zora group is accused of backing the radical, left-wing Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine (PFLP). The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... and the United States list the group as a terrorist organization.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE RAID?
The GDP police trade union representative for the Berlin area, Benjamin Jendro, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that around 200 officers took part in the operation.
They searched six flats, an office and a cafe in the districts of Neukölln, Friedrichshain, Karlshorst, Wedding, Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg and Wedding, the BZ newspaper reported.
There are six suspects, five of whom are said to belong to the group Zora.
German outlets reported that the raid was mainly prompted by a statement the group posted on its Instagram account on October 12. The statement was titled: "No liberation of women without the liberation of Paleostine."
In the statement, the group argues that while the Paleostinian bully boy group Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... , which launched the October 7 terror attacks on Israel, has no interest in fighting the patriarchy, it is important to "strengthen the progressive forces that are also part of the Paleostinian resistance" such as the PFLP.
The PFLP has historically been keen on organizing women and recruiting them in its activities.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT ZORA?
The Zora group describes itself on its own website as an "independent, anti-capitalist organization for young women."
In a statement on December 15, the group criticized the "repression" it said the German state was exercising against both Paleostinian solidarity and the fight against violence against women. It particularly noted increased searches against pro-Paleostinian individuals since a ban on the Samidoun Paleostinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.
"These are carried out on people who the state suspects of being close to the network, which in the reality of the racist authorities means that in this country you have to fear a search simply because you are Paleostinian," the group said.
In early November, the German Interior Ministry banned both Samidoun and Hamas. The latter is designated as a terrorist organization in several countries, including Germany.

[GEO.TV] Jordanian media reported that a Jordanian citizen, identified as Mohammad Barakat, was rubbed out in the German city of Hamburg over his pro-Paleostine posts on social media.
Jordanian Khaberni News website said that Barakat’s family communicated with the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanding further details on the crime. They also demanded to know the identity of the perpetrator.
The 21-year-old was a student studying information technology in Hamburg, Germany. His family received a phone call informing them that he was killed earlier this week.
Al Arabiya cited relatives of Barakat as stating that security forces in Germany did not provide enough information on the crime. The family only knew that two bullets killed Mohammad in his head. "Tis but a flesh wound. Still a Jihadi"
The family added that Mohammad has been active in voicing his support for the Paleostinian people. He posted a lot about the Israeli genocide 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.

Bet: pro-Paleostine posts on social media have nothing to do with his death.

One does have to wonder, Grom. I found nothing at all on this story in the Times of Israel, the Jerusalem Post, Deutsche Welle, The Local, or Breitbart. A search of Al Arabiya for articles about Germany or Mohammad Barakat yields nothing on this story. The fact that we’re getting it from a Pakistani news site quoting Jordanian media suggests that if a Jordanian citizen died in Germany in Hamburg last week, it was not considered newsworthy.
I would note that it is now illegal to support Hamas in Germany, and people are being arrested for it. So if he was posting a lot of pro-Hamas material, the police would have arrested him, and that would have been reported.

[Regnum] Austrian police are interrogating four Islamists detained on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack in Vienna. This became known on December 24.
Are they also ISIS-K Tajiks?
According to law enforcement officers, the men were planning an attack on St. Stephen's Cathedral in the city center during the Christmas holidays. Kurier reported this.
As Regnum reported, on October 13, a young Islamist shouted “Allah Akbar!” stormed a school in northern France, killed a teacher and wounded several people. Three days later, a terrorist shot two Swedish citizens and wounded four more people in Brussels. The person who opened fire was 45-year-old Tunisian Abdesalem Lassoued, who arrived in the European Union in 2011.

[Breitbart] The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continue to uncover massive Hamas tunnel complexes — some involving the sad discovery of the bodies of Israeli hostages.
On Sunday, the IDF released multiple videos of the tunnels, which were discovered by troops from the intelligence and engineering corps, and which revealed large, cavernous command rooms, toilets, and work spaces.
In a statement, the IDF said:
In recent weeks, the 551st Brigade of the 162nd Division secured control of the area of the Jabalya camp — one of Hamas’ operational centers in the Gaza Strip. The operations included fierce battles during which many terrorists were killed by IDF soldiers and hundreds of weapons were located.
As part of the operation, and following advanced intelligence, the soldiers, in cooperation with the Multidimensional Unit and the Yahalom Unit, exposed a strategic tunnel network that served as Hamas’ northern headquarters in Gaza. The underground headquarters, which included two levels — the first approximately 10 meters deep and the second dozens of meters deep. The tunnel network, with many routes, was used for directing combat and the movement of terrorists. At the depth of the military headquarters, weapons, infrastructure for manufacturing weapons, and emergency hideouts were found. The network was connected to a shaft leading to the residence of the Commander of Hamas’ Northern Brigade, Ahmad Andur. The underground network also passed beneath a school and a hospital.
In a centralized intelligence effort, led by Unit 504 of the Intelligence Directorate, the soldiers located and recovered the bodies of five hostages abducted on October 7th and brought them to be buried in Israel: Warrant Officer Ziv Dado, Sergeant Ron Sherman, Corporal Nik Beizer, Eden Zacharia, and Elia Toledano. May their memory be a blessing.
The findings were presented to the families by IDF representatives. The IDF expresses its condolences to the bereaved families and will continue to accompany them. The IDF, in cooperation with other security organizations, is continuing to act through a variety of intelligence and operational means to return the hostages.
Upon completion of this mission, the forces dismantled the subterranean headquarters. The demolition of the headquarters in Jabalya is part of the effort to deal with Hamas’ tunnel infrastructure and to strike at its senior commanders and its strategic capabilities. This effort is continuing at all times and is now being carried out in Khan Yunis and the southern Gaza Strip.
The IDF also continues to recover large caches of weapons and explosives in the Gaza Strip, including in schools. IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said Saturday that Israel had found "30,000 explosive devices, including anti-tank missiles and rockets that were in Hamas’ possession."
He added: "There is an immense amount of weaponry in Gaza, some as happened today, are found in schools. During our current operation in the Daraj-Tufah, we scanned schools and found weapons, including a significant amount of rockets and equipment belonging to Hamas’s naval commando unit. We seize the weapons, neutralizing Hamas’ terrorism capabilities."
Hamas rocket launches into Israel have diminished, but have not stopped entirely, as the Israeli counter-offensive has advanced.

So Hamas has just been killing the hostages. No wonder they won't accept any "cease fire for hostages" deal. The hostages are dying or dead.
How barbaric can you get. And great thanks to Israel for ridding us of people who do things like this.

Looking at all the miles of tunnels on top of tunnels, the public has been shown so far. The HAMAS basically built a mini Subway system on par with many EU small cities. So riddle me this simple question.
How was the disposal of the 1000s of TONS dug out of the earth accomplished for this engineering feat accomplished? While keeping the so-called Palestinian government leadership from being aware?
BTW: Since blowing up the tunnels only still makes it easier to rebuild, than originally done, by just removing the rubble.
What would be a good way to make the tunnels areas NON-USABLE?
[REDSTATE] Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... has shown over and over again that they don't care about the people of 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... , who they're supposed to be governing. They steal their electricity to power up their tunnels to hide in and there are reports about them snapping up the aid that is meant for the people.
But they're not only stealing the aid and the power from the people. They also reportedly shot at civilians for getting near an aid truck in Rafah to try to keep them away from the truck, killing a young boy, Ahmed Bracha, on Sunday.
That didn't make the family of the boy or the other people that were there happy. This man says the boy was shot in the head and that he blames Hamas, and he talks about retribution if it means his life.
Crowds rioted and burnt down the Hamas cop shoppe in response. According to N12, the family vowed Dire Revenge. Disproportionate Response™ !!
It's hard to know how far this might go. It would be good for the people of Gaza if they could rise and overthrow Hamas and gain their freedom. The anti-Israel activists chant, "Free Paleostine!" But the only people oppressing the people of Gaza are the Hamas terrorists. That's who they need to be free of. If the people of Gaza got rid of Hamas, they'd be infinitely better off and wouldn't have to constantly deal with the result of Hamas' terrorist actions. If they rid themselves of Hamas and their attempts to take out Israel, they would not have any of these issues. This is all on Hamas.

Troops of the 551st Brigade and Military Intelligence’s Unit 504 led the operation to retrieve the bodies of soldiers Warrant Officer Ziv Dado, Cpl. Nik Beizer and Sgt. Ron Sherman, and civilians Elia Toledano and Eden Zacharia.
The IDF had intelligence of two bodies of hostages being in the Jabaliya camp area, and located tunnel shafts during their scans.
The shafts, investigated by troops, including the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, revealed a massive tunnel network with two levels and an elevator heading down dozens of meters to a large hall and command center.
The IDF says the network had many branches used by Hamas to fight, including some tunnels going underneath a nearby school and hospital. One of the shafts led to the home of the former commander of Hamas’s northern Gaza brigade, Ahmed Ghandour, who was killed in an Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... The entire network was around a square kilometer in size.
Weapons and infrastructure used to manufacture weapons were also found in the tunnel, the IDF says.
The first two bodies, of Dado and Zacharia, were found on December 13, and three days later, the other three, Beizer, Sherman and Toledano, were located in a different area of the tunnel network.
The IDF says it has shown the families of the hostages the army’s investigation into the operation to retrieve their bodies.
The massive tunnel network was destroyed several days ago by the IDF, after it completed its scans of the area.

If true, it is one of the deadliest strikes since the war was sparked by the terror group’s October 7 onslaught in southern Israel, which triggered a fierce bombing campaign and ground offensive.
The al-Jazeera satellite channel broadcasts footage of frantic Paleostinians, including emergency workers, picking through several gutted buildings.
Betcha there were lots of secondaries, and perhaps a few Hamas/Islamic Jihad rockets that misfired.
The Hamas-run health ministry says at least 70 people have been killed. The toll cannot be independently verified, and the ministry has been accused in the past of inflating casualty numbers.
There is also no immediate information about whether the victims are civilians or linked to gangs. Hamas-controlled health authorities never divulge this information.

8000*12 = 96000 (ISIS get 72 virgins, Palestinians only get 12).
[GEO.TV] Israeli Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed reports that the United States had convinced Israel not to expand its military activity during a weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday.
"I have seen false publications claiming that the US prevented and is preventing us from operational operations in the region," Netanyahu said, without elaborating on the reports. "This is not true. Israel is a sovereign state. Our decisions in the war are based on our operational considerations, and I will not elaborate on that."
The Wall Street Journal on Saturday reported that Netanyahu was persuaded by US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... not to attack the bully boy Hezbollah group in 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... out of concerns it would launch an attack on Israel, similar to the October 7 rampage by Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

Netanyahu insisted on Sunday that Israel's actions are "not dictated by external pressures."
"The decision on how to use our forces is an independent decision of the IDF and no one else," Netanyahu said.
