$130 Billion Ukraine aid not going to Ukraine. Instead going to "American Interests". Of which $40 million embezzled by Ukrainian officials. "American Interest" payments went to US arms manufacturers accounts where money also vanished.
This is a similar corruption where Hillary took Haitian aid after a Hurricane during her tenure as head of the State Department under Obama's presidency.
This is why Trump "must not be President by any means necessary" per DNC, to prevent him from exposing rampant swamp corruption. But Breitbart just exposed it in the above investigation.
[Garowe] al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... continues to lose more strategic regions in Somalia, following intensive operations against the group, which has been controlling central and southern parts of the country for the last two decades, with security teams focusing on total elimination of the hard boys.
The al-Shabaab have been fighting the fragile UN-backed federal government of Somalia, which has also been fighting back, with the help of international partners, particularly the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) and the US Africa Command.
On Saturday, the partners alongside the Somali National Army conducted joint operations in Buq-Aqable within the Hiiran region, which led to the seizure of several sophisticated weapons and vehicles used by the forces of Evil in launching attacks.
"The Security Forces and International Security Partners conducted a joint operation on Saturday, targeting an Alshabab hideout near Buq-Aqable in the Hiiraan region. The operation destroyed a huge amount of weapons and vehicles used by the terrorists," authorities reported.
[Garowe] The Somali National Army (SNA) and the US Africa Command team conducted a series of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on Saturday, officials said, targeting al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... forces of Evil in central regions where the group has been wreaking havoc on innocent civilians.
The operation, officials noted, targeted the Ali Hayle neighborhood along the border of the Middle Shabelle and Galgaduud regions. For the last 15 months, Somali forces and their foreign counterparts have been conducting a series of operations in central Somalia.
According to the state media, the airstrikes on Saturday were the third within a short period, signaling commitment by the soldiers to stabilize Somalia, a country that has been in shambles for the last three decades after the eruption of the civil war.
"Somali security forces and International allies carry out a planned operation in Ali Hayle, near the border of Middle Shabelle and Galgaduud regions. A vehicle belonging to the terrorist militia was destroyed in the operation on Saturday evening," state media reports.
"This is the third successful strike in the last few hours, following two other operations in Buq-aqable and Galhareeri," the state-owned media added in the report, noting successes achieved within a short period in the region.
Al-Shabaab forces of Evil have been losing ground in central Somalia and southern parts according to official government reports, with the second phase of operations against the forces of Evil set to kick off in Jubaland and Southwest states of the country.
A car carrying Al-Shabaab fighters was destroyed in an operation in the Ali Hayle area. The targeted militants include senior Al-Shabaab leaders, according to the government.
In a statement issued by the government, it was said that in the past hours, the air operations targeting the Al-Shabaab group have increased. The government said that many militants and leaders of the Al-Shabaab group have been killed.
The US government has not yet commented on these airstrikes targeting the Al-Shabaab group.

In Turkey attacks on Jews and Christians in Turkey are usually Sudden Jihad Syndrome. Mark Twain in The Innocents Abroad wrote of observing a gang of boys throwing stones an an old Jew, who was forbidden by law to strike back — the attitude remains.
[IsraelTimes] Country’s interior minister says manhunt launched to catch attackers; motive of shooting unclear, but Istanbul mayor says button men only fired at victim
Two masked button men shot one person dead during Sunday service at a church in Istanbul, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... ’s Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said, adding that authorities were working to capture the assailants.
Yerlikaya said the attack, which Ankara condemned, took place around 0840 GMT at the Italian Santa Maria Catholic Church in the Sariyer district, and that one person — who was targeted by the button men — was killed while attending the service.
"A comprehensive investigation was launched on the matter and work has been started to capture the attackers," Yerlikaya said on social media platform X.
Speaking to news hounds outside the church, Istanbul Governor Davut Gul said the victim was a Ottoman Turkish national and that no one else was hurt. He said the attackers only fired at one person.
It was not immediately clear what the motive for the attack was or why the victim was targeted. Footage from the site showed several police cars and an ambulance outside the church.
Santa Maria Draperis is run by missionary Franciscan friars from Italia sent on a mission of ecumenical dialogue.
Ottoman Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called the church’s priest, a local administrator from his ruling party, to offer his condolences, his office said.

He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess... conveyed his condolences over the attack after his weekly Angelus prayer.
Italia’s foreign minister, Antonio Tajani, said his ministry was following the situation along with the Italian embassy in Ankara and the consulate in Istanbul.
Says Turkey’s Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya, more were injured at the Santa Maria Church, according to reports.
Local media also report the deceased was a 72-year-old woman.

[Regnum] A citizen of Russia and a citizen of Tajikistan were detained on suspicion of committing an armed attack on the Catholic Church in Istanbul. This was announced on January 28 by Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya during a briefing.
As Yerlikaya clarified, the police launched a large-scale operation immediately after the attack on the church. In total, 47 people were detained in connection with the attack during the day. The suspects in the armed attack on the church were detained at 22:00 local time.
According to the minister, the suspects are foreign citizens, one is a citizen of Russia, the other is of Tajikistan. Presumably, both foreigners are members of the Islamic State (an organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation).
All 47 detainees are planned to be interrogated.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that in Istanbul, as a result of an attack on the Italian Latin Catholic Church of Santa Maria in the Sariyer district, a person was killed and several more were injured.
The attack on the church took place during the day; two armed and masked men burst into the building and opened fire. As a result, a Turkish citizen died. According to media reports, the radical extremist group “Islamic State” (IS) (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) took responsibility for the attack.

[GEO.TV] Ahead of much-awaited nationwide elections scheduled for February 8, miscreants targeted the election offices of the Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) and the National Party (NP) in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... on Sunday.
Two grenade blasts raise alarm bells over the security measures ahead of the general polls next month and election campaigns of all political parties are in full swing across the country.
In the run-up to elections in Pakistain, a disturbing trend emerges with violence infiltrating the political sphere. Politicians find themselves in the crosshairs, subjected to threats and attacks.
Unknown men lobbed a grenade at the nationalist party’s — NP — election office in Mastung district, leaving two persons maimed following its explosion at Muhammad Shahi Road, police said, noting that the attackers managed to flee from the scene.
The injured persons were immediately shifted to the hospital, police said. The police force launched a search operation in the area to catch the culprits.
The NP spokesperson condemned the "cowardly" grenade attack at his party's election office, adding that they would not surrender due to such "cowardly acts" and further expedite the electioneering.
The party also demanded the Election Commission of Pakistain (ECP) to replace the superintendent police (SP) besides taking strict action against the local authorities over the security failure, otherwise, the party reserves the right to register a strong protest.
In a separate incident, unidentified miscreants targeted a PPP election office via a hand grenade in the Qalat district. In the incident that took place in the Mangocher area today, no casualty was reported.
According to Levies, the grenade explosion occurred near a closed PPP election office established in Mangocher market.
Heavy contingents of law enforcement agencies deployed in the area and commenced a search operation.
On Thursday, a policeman was martyred in an armed attack carried out by faceless myrmidons on the election commission's- regional office in Turbat ...The turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is a relatively large species of flatfish in the family Scophthalmidae. It is highly prized as a food fish. It is a valuable commercial species, acquired through aquaculture and trawling. Turbot are farmed in Bulgaria, Canada, France, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Turkey, Chile, Norway, and China. Turbot has a bright white flesh that retains this appearance when cooked. Like all flatfish, turbot yields four fillets with meatier topside portions that may be baked, poached, steamed, or pan-fried. It has been called The King of the Sea because of its exquisite flavor.
Turbat is a city in Pakistain located in southern Balochistan. It has nothing to do with the fish. Its primary industry appears to be murder. Don't go there, not even to visit
To recap, if it tastes good it's turbot. If you're being shot at, stabbed, choked, strangled, flung off a tall building, or piked it's Turbat, so get the hell out of there if you're not already dead. ... . Police repulsed the attack following a shootout with the assailants who attempted to enter the ECP's office.
During the encounter, a police personnel, identified as Namrooz, laid down his life in the line of duty and foiled the bully boys’ plot.
After failing to enter the ECP office, the gunnies lobbed a hand grenade into the office. Fortunately, no one was injured in the earth-shattering kaboom.

[IsraelTimes] Israeli official estimates 20%-40% of network damaged or put out of order during war; military reports ‘high-intensity fighting’ in Khan Younis, skirmishes elsewhere in Strip
After 114 days of fighting, as much as 80 percent of Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... ’s tunnel system beneath 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 could still remain intact, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday. "could"
“Halliburton Earthquake Division rep to the white courtesy phone. Halliburton to the white courtesy phone, please.”
The report came as the Israel Defense Forces engaged in "high-intensity fighting" in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, with the 98th Division battling Hamas operatives in the area.
Amid the fighting in Gaza, US-led diplomatic efforts were taking place to develop a two-part plan for the release of over 130 hostages still held in the Strip who were kidnapped from Israel, in exchange for a pause in fighting of up to two months.
The Journal report cited Israeli and US officials and noted that it is difficult to assess how much of the subterranean labyrinth has been destroyed by Israeli troops so far, but estimated that 20% to 40% of it has been damaged or rendered unusable.
Since launching a ground offensive in the wake of the October 7 massacre, in which Hamas-led bully boyz killed some 1,200 people and took 253 hostages, Israeli forces have worked to destroy the tunnels, uncovering more and more of the Gaza-ruling terror organization’s underground network.
Some of the tunnels have been bombed, while others have been flooded. However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... progress is slow as underground passages must be mapped and checked for booby traps and hostages before Israeli forces can destroy them.
A senior Israeli military official told the Journal that the IDF was focused on eliminating "nodes" within the tunnels where Hamas operatives are hiding, instead of demolishing entire networks.
"It’s a very hard mission. It’s done slowly, very carefully. It’s urban warfare unseen globally," the official said.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other terror commanders are believed to be hiding underground. The report cited Israeli officials who said that the Gaza terror chief is believed to be in a command center in a tunnel under Khan Younis, along with some of the hostages.
Earlier this month it was reported that senior Israeli defense officials now assess that Hamas’s Gaza tunnel network is between 350 and 450 miles long, far longer than previously believed.
The estimate reported by The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... is markedly higher than an Israel Defense Forces assessment last month that there are some 250 miles of Hamas tunnels under the Gaza Strip, and an astounding figure given the enclave is only some 140 square miles in total size.
In the largest operation in a month, Israeli forces over the past few days encircled and pushed through Khan Younis, where many Paleostinians had sheltered after leaving northern Gaza, the early focus of the war.
In recent operations in Khan Younis, the Egoz commando unit spotted and eliminated a Hamas cell armed with RPGs and found weapons nearby; the Paratroopers Brigade killed several button men and located weapons; and the 7th Armored Brigade directed Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on two Hamas operatives in the city, the IDF said.
In northern Gaza, the IDF said reservists of the 5th Brigade located a tunnel network and destroyed it. The troops also killed several button men and located weapons in the area, it added.
In central Gaza, the IDF said the Nahal Brigade directed a drone to strike a Hamas operative who was spotted nearby. The brigade killed several more button men in battles over the past day, the IDF added.
Paleostinians, meanwhile, have been fleeing further south from Khan Younis toward Rafah, close to the Egyptian border, where the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... says most of Gaza’s estimated 1.7 million displaced people have gathered. Many of them live in the street in "conditions of desperation conducive to a complete breakdown in order," said Ajith Sunghay of the UN Human Rights Office. AFP images showed people wading through ankle-deep water around plastic shelters in Rafah, where bombardment still threatens.
The Doctors Without Borders (MSF) aid group has said surgical capacity at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis was "virtually nonexistent." The World Health Organization and MSF have issued urgent warnings about Nasser Hospital, saying the remaining staff could barely function with supplies running out and intense fighting nearby. WHO footage showed people in the crowded facility being treated on blood-smeared floors as frantic loved ones shouted and jostled. Cats scavenged on a mound of medical waste.
The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy Society said the al-Amal hospital was also "under siege with heavy gunfire."
The Israeli military accuses Hamas of operating from tunnels under Gaza hospitals and of using the medical facilities as command centers. It has issued footage from Hamas tunnels discovered underneath several hospitals.
Vowing to destroy the terror group, Israel launched a wide-scale military campaign after the October 7 massacre, which the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says has killed over 26,000 people and maimed some 64,000 people. The figures are unverified and are believed to include close to 10,000 Hamas operatives Israel said it has killed during fighting in the Strip, as well as civilians killed by misfired Paleostinian rockets.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing growing domestic pressure over his handling of the conflict, doubled down on his vow to remove Hamas from Gaza.
"If we don’t eliminate Hamas terrorists... the next massacre is only a matter of time," he said in a televised statement on Saturday.

I love the idea of digging a moat along the fence line and letting Gaza float off into the Mediterranean... until the tunnels fill with seawater and the new island sinks like Atlantis.
[IsraelTimes] From attackers in her yard, Arabic speaker Nasreen Yusef found out where more Death Eaters were hiding, then got a Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... operative on the phone and passed critical intel to the IDF
Druze mother of four Nasreen Yusef helped to prevent a bloodbath in her community on the southern 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... border on October 7 by using her native Arabic to convince Death Eaters that she would give them money and smuggle them out, while she gathered critical intelligence and passed it to the IDF.
Nasreen, her husband Eyad, and their four children live in the predominantly Jewish village of Moshav Yated, just four kilometers (2.5 miles) from the Israeli border with Gaza and the border with Egypt’s Sinai.
The Yusef home, the closest to Moshav Yated’s perimeter fence, was the first stop for Hamas Death Eaters ordered to attack the community in the early hours of October 7, she told Channel 12/Keshet TV, which first broke the story of her unlikely role in stopping the massacre.
The Death Eaters breaking into the small farming community were among thousands of Hamas operatives who crossed into Israel from Gaza that day, murdering some 1,200 in brutal circumstances, abducting 253, and shooting and burning their way through dozens of Gaza border villages and towns.
During the attack, Eyad Yusef joined the moshav’s security team despite a broken leg in a cast, while Nasreen, 46, and the children hid in their protected room at home, along with members of a neighboring family.
But when Eyad and friends caught a terrorist about to enter the family’s yard, Nasreen walked out of the house to try to find out how many more armed Hamas men were on their way.
"I told him, ’Look me in the eyes, I’m not frightened of you,'" she recalled, adding that the young gunman had an expression on his face that she subsequently discovered was due to him being on drugs.
Nasreen managed to convince the gunman that she was on his side and would help to get him to safety, she told The Times of Israel.
He told her where in the perimeter fence he had entered through and revealed that many more fighters were on their way or already inside the moshav. Some were in a nearby greenhouse, others were in mobile homes, and a third cell was heading for a memorial site.
At around 10 a.m., Eyad and other moshav security team members found four Hamas operatives in the greenhouse and brought them to the Yusefs’ yard.
Nasreen told The Times of Israel, "I was in flipflops, running backward and forward with bits of string and cable ties to tie them up, with towels and floor rags for hoods."
"I don’t know where I got the courage from, why I didn’t panic," she went on. "As my husband got dressed that morning, he said it would be an honor to die in uniform, not in a protected room. I knew that if they came, they’d kill us. I had to protect my home."
At some point, three IDF officers came and asked if anyone spoke Arabic. Nasreen was able to tell them how the Death Eaters had come in, and then the cellphone of one of the Death Eaters rang.
"I look at the screen and I see Elayesh written in Arabic, and I answer the phone," she said.
The man on the other end asked who she was. She said she replied, ’I’m called Nasreen, I’m an Arab, you have nothing to be afraid of, I’m hiding the guys. I have a secret apartment.'"
During the 40-minute conversation, she would put the man on hold to translate to the officer standing next to her, she explained.
Pretending that she wanted to arrange enough food and water for the button men, she asked how many more were on their way, and from where. She told the caller that all the men with her had already eaten.
At some stage, the man on the phone became suspicious and asked to speak to one of the terrorists. She approached the one that he named.
"I said, ’Listen, I’ll give you money, food, gold... I’ll put you into uniform and smuggle you out, but you have to say what I tell you to say,'" she continued.
The man cooperated, saying Nasreen was a "good woman" and that the men had been given food and water.
Nasreen then took back the phone and told the man on the other end that the IDF was everywhere, that she couldn’t keep the men safe for long, and again asked how they were coming through. He told her about an opening in the fence.
Nasreen said that the phone call with the terrorist ended with him saying, "Inshallah [if Allah wills it], tonight we’ll conquer Israel."
"I felt short of breath and ended the conversation," she continued. "I told the officer that I couldn’t go on anymore. Even in my worst dream, I never thought I’d have a conversation with a Hamas member, in my language, which I’m not ashamed of, and that I’d manage to save a lot of people and stop all of those monsters."
She went on, "If I hadn’t gone out and asked questions and spoken, probably half our community, or most of them, wouldn’t be around anymore."
Eyad Yusef and a neighbor guarded the five terrorists, including the first one who entered, from Saturday morning until around 3 p.m. the following afternoon.
Nasreen made coffee to keep them awake through the night, and stood guard, moving from window to window in her house to look for additional infiltrators.
Armed with Nasreen’s intelligence, a Caracal army unit arrived on Sunday morning. At around lunchtime troops managed to catch 15 Death Eaters hiding in an orchard next door — those Nasreen had been told were in the mobile homes. They were taken to the orchard packing house. At roughly the same time, an army helicopter spotted a third cell, also of around 15 men, at the memorial site and killed them from the air.
But that was not before daughter Shiran, 13 — assuming she was going to be killed — had found her mother, at around lunchtime on Sunday, and tried to say goodbye.
When asked why she had left the protected room, Shiran told her mother that a close friend, Ido Hubara, 36, from nearby Kibbutz Sufa, had been murdered, while defending his community.
"Ido was like a brother to me, his family was like my family," Nasreen said.
Having already heard from a friend that two other friends from nearby Kerem Shalom had also been killed, Nasreen said she went outside and started attacking the hooded and handcuffed terrorists.
"I found myself beating them with a pipe, swearing at them, I went crazy," she said until she heard a Caracal soldier telling her not to go near them.
By 3 p.m. on that Sunday, Eyad Yusef was able to take a break to get his family and the neighbor’s family out of the protected room and to a safe place.
Nasreen said the Death Eaters were taken away by the Shin Bet security service only on Monday.
Host Guy Pines and his team at Channel 12/Keshet TV discovered the story by chance via Brothers in Arms, which was organizing a 12th birthday party for Sivan Yusef in the Eilat hotel where the family has been staying with other Gaza border evacuees since the war began.
While other girls her age had been celebrating bat mitzvah parties, Sivan feared nobody would come to her birthday celebration because she was Druze. A friend of Nasreen’s had reached out to Brothers in Arms, a protest group that shifted to organizing recovery efforts after October 7, to help.
Eyad Yusef’s job in the IDF — he is a sergeant major with 20 years of service under his belt — had taken the family southward away from the main concentration of Druze towns in northern Israel. Nasreen said that they were the only Druze family living in the Gaza border area, and had been warmly welcomed by Moshav Yated.
Only around 150,000 Druze live in the country, where they constitute 1.5 percent of Israeli households, according to Central Bureau of Statistics figures for 2022. But they stand out from the general Arab population for their loyalty to the Jewish state and brave service in the IDF.
Druze men are the only Israeli minorities, apart from members of the small Circassian community, to be conscripted into the IDF. Many Druze reach senior army positions, and hundreds have died — and continue to die during the current war — for the state.
But some still experience discrimination. On the day that this news hound spoke to Nasreen, a classmate had phoned Sivan and called her a "dirty Arab," repeating a taunt that has become familiar to both Sivan and Shiran.
"Sivan’s self-confidence is rock bottom," said Nasreen. "She cries all the time. The school said they would deal with it. I always hear that sentence."
Nasreen, who worked as an administrator for the Clalit health fund until the war, has not worked since and tries to keep herself occupied cleaning the hotel room until the children come home. Her husband is fighting in Gaza.
Through tears, she explained that she had lost many friends on October 7, and suffered from recurring nightmares.
Psychologists were made available, but they came and left, and it was too hard to tell the same story over and over.
She said she had received two useful sessions of psychiatric support from a professional who had also gone elsewhere, and that since then, she had been "living on the anxiety pills she gave me."
It was only the day before Channel 12 came to film that Shiran, 13, revealed that she had filmed her mother’s interactions with the Death Eaters through the protective room’s blinds. Those images have now made it around the world.
"I never wanted to tell the story. To have the media around. I don’t want people to call me a hero," Nasreen said. "I just protected my home and my community."
[IsraelTimes] The Hezbollah terror group names three members killed "on the road to Jerusalem," its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.
Their deaths bring the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war 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 to 174.
The announcement comes following several IDF strikes on Hezbollah positions 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... today, in response to attacks on northern Israel.
[IsraelTimes] Hezbollah terrorists have fired two anti-tank missiles toward IDF bases in the area of Shomera in the Western Galilee region of northern Israel, the IDF says according to Hebrew media. No damage or casualties are reported in the incident.
The military responds with artillery shelling toward the sources of the fire.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it struck further Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon today. Sites hit a short while ago by fighter jets in Marwahin, Dhayra and Ayta ash-Shab included observation posts and other military infrastructure, according to the IDF.
Earlier today, the IDF says it hit a Hezbollah command center and additional infrastructure 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 have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... Several rockets were fired today by Hezbollah at the Margaliot and Zar’it areas, all landing in open areas, according to the IDF.
Additionally, the IDF says it fired interceptor missiles at two "suspicious aerial targets" over northern Israel. It says the incident is over, without elaborating.
[Jpost] Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had seized an oil tanker carrying two million liters of fuel in the Persian Gulf off the coast of southwestern Iran, Iranian media reported on Sunday.
According to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency, the vessel was carrying the flag of a country in Oceania, although it did not clarify which country's flag this was.
The vessel, which was staffed by 14 foreign crew members from two Asian countries, was seized by the IRGC about 60 miles off the coast of Bushehr, a port city in southwestern Iran.
The IRGC claimed that the fuel was being smuggled illegally. The fuel was transferred to the National Petroleum Refining and Distribution Company of Bushehr province after it was seized by the IRGC.
RECENT TANKER SEIZURES BY IRAN
Earlier this month, the Iranian Navy said that it had seized an oil tanker that had been seized last year by the US. The oil tanker, called the Suez Rajan by Iran and the St Nikolas by the US, was seized by Iran in the Gulf of Oman.
In December, the IRGC seized two oil tankers carrying about 4.5 million liters of fuel, claiming that the tankers were smuggling fuel.

Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.

...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess...

Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects.

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...
