TTP appoints Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud as chief after Fazlullah's killing
[DAWN] The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban
...Arabic for students...
Pakistain (TTP) announced it had appointed a new leader on Saturday after the Lion of Islam group confirmed for the first time its former chief Mullah Fazlullah
...son-in-law of holy man Sufi Mohammad. Known as Mullah FM, Fazlullah had the habit of grabbing his FM mike when the mood struck him and bellowing forth sermons. Sufi suckered the Pak govt into imposing Shariah on the Swat Valley and then stepped aside whilst Fazlullah and his Talibs imposed a reign of terror on the populace like they hadn't seen before, at least not for a thousand years or so. For some reason the Pak intel services were never able to locate his transmitter, much less bomb it. After ruling the place like a conquered province for a year or so, Fazlullah's Talibs began gobbling up more territory as they pushed toward Islamabad, at which point as a matter of self-preservation the Mighty Pak Army threw them out and chased them into Afghanistan...

That sailor is tougher than woodpecker's lips.
[Business Insider] Navy Master Chief Raina Hockenberry remembers everything from that day in 2014 when an Afghan soldier shot her five times.

She was serving as the senior enlisted leader position for Combined Security Transition Command Afghanistan. Hockenberry was part of a group visiting a basic training facility for Afghan soldiers.

"We stopped for our last briefing of the day, and one of the Afghan soldiers just opened fire through a window," she told reporters at the Pentagon Wednesday describing the green-on-blue attack that wounded 13 other military personnel that day. "He just started shooting."

Hockenberry suffered two gunshot wounds to the right leg, shattering her tibia. She was shot once in the groin and twice in the stomach.

One Dead, Scores Wounded In Æthiopia PM’s Rally Blast
[RADIOSHABELLE] An kaboom has struck a large rally by supporters of Æthiopia’s new, reformist Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in Addis Ababa, killing at least one person and wounding dozens of others.

Abiy had just wrapped up his speech at the capita’s Meskel Square before tens of thousands of people on Saturday when the kaboom went off, sending droves of supporters towards the stage as the prime minister left hurriedly.

In an address broadcast afterwards on state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
, Abiy said the blast was orchestrated by groups who wanted to undermine the rally but did not name them.

"The people who did this are anti-peace forces. You need to stop doing this. You weren’t successful in the past and you won’t be successful in the future."

He said several people had been killed, but Æthiopia’s Health Minister later adjusted that statement, saying one person had passed away at Addis Ababa’s Black Lion Hospital.

In an earlier post on Twitter, Fitsum Arega, the prime minister’s chief of staff, said person or persons unknown launched a grenade attack on the rally.

"Some whose heart is filled with hate attempted a grenade attack. HE PM Abiy is safe. All the casualties are deaders of love & peace. HE PM sends his condolences to the victims. The perpetrators will be brought to justice," Fitsum said.

The state broadcaster quickly cut away from coverage of the rally, which has broken up with people singing, chanting and going back to their homes.

Ambulances were at the scene in the crowded Meskel Square in Addis Ababa where the prime minister had been addressing thousands of supporters.

Ethiopian PM escapes grenade attack, one dead, scores hurt
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - A grenade attack killed one and wounded scores at a rally by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Saturday in what he said was an attempt to divide the nation just two months after he took office.

Police said six suspects had been detained, without giving details, while state media said nine police officials, including the deputy commissioner of the Addis Ababa Police Commission, were being held over security failings.

Abiy, a former soldier, took office in April, pledging to bring more transparency to government and reconciliation to a nation of 100 million people that has been torn by protests since 2015.

Students to return to Arish University for first time since Feb: North Sinai official
[AlAhram] Students enrolled at North Sinai’s Arish University will be returning to their lecture halls on Saturday as classes resume after almost five months of suspension due to a major counter-terrorism campaign in the area.

North Sinai governorate has decided to allow the university and a number of other higher education facilities in Arish to resume operations, according to a statement from governorate officials reported by al-Ahram al-Massai daily on Thursday.

The students to return to Arish University are those in their final year of studies. Buses will be provided to transfer them to the campus, the statement said.

It was not immediately clear whether students in other years would also be returning to classes.

In February, classes at universities and schools in Arish were suspended when the Egyptian military launched a major counter-terrorism operation.

The operation, dubbed Operation Sinai 2018, aims to target and destroy "terrorist and criminal elements and organizations" in northern and central Sinai, parts of the Nile Delta and the country's Western Desert, the military has said.

Final-year high school students in North Sinai have also returned to their schools to sit the end-of-year thanaweya amma exams, which determine university placement. Officials in the governorate have been reported as saying that the process is running smoothly.

On Thursday, the Egyptian army said it had killed 32 takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed...
s and tossed in the clink
You have the right to remain silent...
dozens of suspects, bringing the total number of those killed since Operation Sinai 2018 began to more than 300, including at least 37 military personnel, according to calculations based on military statements.

Boko Haram raid kills five in Nigeria: Residents
[AlAhram] At least five people were killed and six others injured in a nighttime Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
raid and suicide kaboom on a village in northeastern Nigeria, residents told AFP on Saturday

A male jacket wallah detonated his explosives among a group of residents sleeping in the open in Tungushe village in Borno state at about 12:15 am (2315 GMT Friday).

The blast was followed by indiscriminate gunfire from Boko Haram Islamist forces of Evil lurking in the dark, said Mustapha Muhammad, a civilian militia leader in the area.

"Five people have been killed and six others injured in the attack," Muhammad said by telephone from the village, which lies six kiometres (nearly four miles) north of the Borno state capital Maiduguri.

Tungushe resident Umara Kyari, who gave similar casualty toll, said the attackers torched eight thatched houses and three vehicles before stealing about 100 cows.

"Fortunately all the cows returned to the village," said Kyari. "I think the attackers are not used to herding cows and could not control them."

Boko Haram regularly uses suicide bombers, mostly women and maiden of tender yearss, to target mosques, schools, bus stations and military locations.

Its nine-year armed violence to establish a hardline Islamic state in remote northeastern Nigeria has killed more than 20,000 people.

Suicide attacks have increased in Borno state recently, prompting the military commander fighting the Islamist forces of Evil to offer a five-million-naira ($13,900) reward for information on bomb-making factories in the region.

On June 16, six maiden of tender yearss killed 43 people in suicide attacks in the town of Damboa, 80 kilometres outside Maiduguri.

On Wednesday, 15 people were maimed when two exploding trollop female suicide bombers targeted a market on the edge of a military base in the city.

Arabia
Civilians flee combat zones around Hodeida
[DAWN] Clashes between Yemeni government forces and Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
rebels around the Red Sea port city of Hodeida eased on Friday as more civilians fled the combat zones for fear of a fierce showdown, a UN humanitarian agency said.

"More people are fleeing areas of conflict and seeking shelter in safer locations, including in the capital Sanaa," 150 kilometres to the northeast and also under rebel control, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement.

It said some of the displaced had arrived in the capital but specific figures were not yet available. On Thursday, OCHA said more than 30,000 residents of Hodeida and the province of the same name had fled their homes this month.

The latest violence was "at a less severe scale, as a general decrease in festivities, bombardments and air strikes has been reported", said OCHA.

"Humanitarian partners continue to respond to the needs of the displaced population" with the provision of food, water and health services in and around Hodeida, it said.

In the port city itself, however, "access to warehouses has become difficult due to ongoing fighting and blockage of some roads".

Europe
Italy refuses rescue ship carrying 224 migrants to dock
[FOXNEWS] Italia’s new hardline, anti-immigrant interior minister has refused port to a Dutch-flagged rescue ship carrying more than 200 migrants colonists because it is now in Maltese waters.

On Thursday, Matteo Salvini accused the ship, which is operated by German NFO Mission Lifeline, of acting improperly by taking on board the 224 migrants colonists that the Italian coasties had assigned to the Libyan coasties to rescue. He claimed the rescue was in Libyan waters, which Lifeline denies.

"I want to save lives but I’m paid by Italians to defend the safety of Italian citizens. I don’t accept there are organizations of pseudo-volunteers that endanger the lives of those who flee Africa and then think to disembark them all in Italia," he said.

He added that those on board the ship "will only see Italia on a postcard".

Turkish police detain 47 suspected coup supporters: CNN Turk
[AlAhram] Ottoman Turkish police have detained 47 people in an operation targeting alleged supporters within the army of a network accrued by Ankara of orchestrating a failed military coup two years ago, private broadcaster CNN Turk said on Saturday.

The operation, which began on Tuesday, targeted 124 people accused of being followers of U.S.-based Moslem preacher Fethullah Gülen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world...
, CNN Turk said.

Ankara accuses Gulen of being behind the abortive putsch on July 15, 2016, a charge he denies.

The suspects were said to have operated as religious guides for high-ranking military personnel, it said. The operation, which focused on the central Ottoman Turkish city of Konya and was spread over 31 provinces, comes ahead of Sunday's presidential and parliamentary elections in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
Turkey has detained 160,000 people and dismissed nearly the same number of state employees since the coup attempt, the U.N. human rights
When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much...
office said in March. Of that number, more than 50,000 have been formally charged and kept in jail during trial.

Critics of President Tayyip Erdogan say he has used the failed putsch as a pretext to quash dissent. Turkey says the measures are necessary to combat threats to national security.

Erdogan, who has dominated Ottoman Turkish politics for a decade and a half, is tipped to win the presidential election but possibly only in a run-off set for early July, opinion polls suggest.

Leftist Group Shows Activists How to Kill an ICE Agent, Pledges to Go After Their Families
[Townhall] As the outrage over the Trump administration's enforcement of immigration law continues at the southern border with Mexico, the left is resorting to violence and intimidation tactics against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. They're also going after their families.

Yesterday an Occupy Wall Street group posted a photo on Twitter showing "what to do" if you encounter an ICE agent. The photo was up for hours before Twitter support finally banned the account. As a reminder, OWS was endorsed by prominent Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

6 suspected terrorists killed in South Waziristan military operation
[DAWN] Six suspected bad boyz were potted in an intelligence-based operation carried out by security forces in the Ladha region of South Wazoo, an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) press statement said on Saturday.

The operation, carried out under the broader Operation Raddul Fassad, was initiated on intelligence reports that turbans had entered the area along with returning TDPs (temporarily displaced persons).

Among those killed by the forces was a "high-value target" identified as Nanakar, who is said to be involved in the killing of locals.

Two hawaldars, Razzaq Khan and Mumtaz Hussain, were martyred in an exchange of fire that took place during the operation.

According to the ISPR blurb, the suspected Lions of Islam had been in contact with a myrmidon network in Afghanistan's Paktika

ISIS gives Iraq 3 days to release their women or they will execute prisoners
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) released a video on Saturday that demanded Iraq release their imprisoned women or else they will execute six Iraqi prisoners.
Answer's easy enough. For every execution of an ISIS prisoner, two immediate executions of ISIS members on death row, starting with female prisoners.
In the video released by the Islamic State’s media wing al-Amaq, the six Iraqi prisoners can seen calling on the government to release the terrorist group’s women in order to save their lives.

According to BasNews, the six prisoners come from al-Anbar and Karbala.

The Iraqi government has yet to issue a response to this demand from the Islamic State.

’s (ISIS) command meeting in Syria.

According to the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, their F-16 bombers targeted an Islamic State central command meeting that was being held in eastern Syria this weekend.

The F-16 bombers annihilated the entire building where the meeting was held, killing more than 45 Islamic State combatants and their leaders.

Among the Islamic State bully boyz that were killed this weekend was the cousin of the group’s infamous leader and founder Ibrahim His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...the head of ISIS, or what remains of it, and a veteran of the Abu Graib jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us. So far he has been killed at least four times, though not yet by a stake through the heart...
This targeted bombing is another major blow to the terrorist group this week, as their first symbolic loss took place at Tal Safouk, which is a border-crossing that was lost to the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

Tal Safouk was where the leaders of the Islamic State first announced the start of their so-called ’caliphate’ in both Iraq and Syria.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IDF hits Gaza terrorists launching arson balloons
[IsraelNationalNews] Israeli forces opened fire on Arab terrorists operating out of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip Sunday afternoon, after the terrorists attempted to launch incendiary balloons towards Israeli territory.

The incident occurred in the southern Gaza Strip near the Israeli border, an Israeli military spokesperson said Sunday.

After Israeli forces spotted the terrorists attempting to launch the balloon bombs, an IDF aircraft opened fire on a vehicle used by the terror cell.

"An IDF aircraft targeted a vehicle used by a group of Palestinians who attempted to launch arson balloons from the southern Gaza Strip into Israeli territory," the spokesperson said.

There are no reports as of yet regarding casualties.

Palestinians protest in Ramallah against Abbas crackdown on Gaza
[IsraelTimes] Hundreds of Paleostinians demonstrated
Golly. Hundreds?
Saturday in the West Bank to demand the Paleostinian Authority lift punitive measures against the Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede,-run Gazoo Strip.

Demonstrators in Ramallah chanted "scrap the sanctions!" during protests against the Paleostinian Authority, organized by civil society groups.

The Ramallah-based administration has introduced a series of measures against Gazoo over the past year. Tens of thousands of its civil servants in the coastal enclave, separated from the West Bank by Israeli territory, have gone without full pay for months. Critics say such moves by the PA, dominated by the Fatah movement of PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
, further exacerbate the split between the two parts of the Paleostinian territories.

The rally passed peacefully, unlike a protest on June 13 during which Paleostinian security forces fired stun grenades and tear gas to disperse demonstrators.

On Saturday, coppers were seen handing out Paleostinian flags to the protesters.

Border cops shoot West Bank Palestinian who arouses suspicion
[IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian man was shot by Border Police officers in the West Bank after arousing their suspicion and ignoring calls to stop, police said.

The suspect got out of a cab near a checkpoint in the Jerusalem area village of Abu Dis and walked toward the officers while carrying a suspicious black bag, according to police, who said the man was cursing and called out "holy shit! Allahu akbar."
Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning.
"Immediately the protocols for stopping a suspicious person were conducted during which one of the officers had gun sex. When this and calls for [the suspect] to stop went unanswered he was shot in leg and neutralized," police said.

Police said the suspect, a resident of the West Bank village of Sa’ir in his 30s, was lightly maimed by the gunshot and taken for treatment after being tossed in the clink
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
Bomb sappers called to the scene examined the black bag and found nothing suspicious. Police however stressed the officers "acted as expected in light of the circumstances of the incident."

IAF fires warning shots at Gazans launching incendiary kites
[Ynet] As the kite terrorism continues, 3 fires break out in the western Negev, leading the IAF to target kite launchers east of Gazoo City; Paleostinians start flying incendiary devices from homes to avoid IDF detection, favoring balloons that can fly further.

An IAF aircraft fired warning shots Saturday at cell attempting to dispatch incendiary kites from the northern Gazoo Strip into Israel.

According to a Paleostinian source, the cell attempted to launch the kites east to Gazoo City.

Earlier, three fires broke out in Givat Yehuda, Be'eri and Kissufim as a result of incendiary balloons flown from Gazoo. Firefighters were able to gain full control of flames.

The incendiary balloon launchers have changed their modus operandi in recent days and have begun flying the balloons from private homes and back yards in an effort to avoid being spotted and thwarted by the IDF.

In addition, the Paleostinians appear to be favoring balloons over kites, since the balloons can more easily get further into Israeli territory.

In an effort to combat the threat, Israeli defense technology company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has been developing a new detection system‐the Sky Spotter‐to identify incendiary balloons and kites launched from Gazoo.

The electro-optical system was originally developed to detect drones and was later adjusted to thwart incendiary balloons and kites.

The system has a long-range digital camera, which is able to identify the incendiary objects the minute they are flown into the air and can estimate their landing location.

The early detection will later enable drones to efficiently intercept the incendiary balloons and kites.

3 soldiers hurt in suspected car-ramming near Beitar Illit
[Ynet] A Paleostinian driver hit three IDF soldiers with his vehicle near the settlement of Beitar Illit on Saturday night and then fled into the nearby village of Husan, in what the IDF suspects was a terror attack.

The two female soldier and one male soldier, who were on a foot patrol in Husan, were lightly hurt. They received initial treatment on the scene and then evacuated to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

Security forces were called to the scene and are now searching for the driver.

The village of Husan is located near the ultra-Orthodox settlement of Beitar Illit. The IDF sets up roadblocks at the entrance to the village every now and again to stop stone-throwing.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iraq says it killed 45 ISIS jihadists in Syria strike
[Rudaw] Iraq said Saturday it had killed 45 jihadists from the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group, including senior members, in an air strike in eastern Syria, the second such operation in less than a month.

Iraqi F-16 fighter jets carried out a "successful strike targeting a meeting of ISIS (ISIS) leaders" on Friday in the Hajin region, in the eastern Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor, a military statement said.

Among those killed, it said, were a senior member of the jihadists’ "ministry of war," his deputy, a local commander and a media official. There was no independent confirmation.

Three houses linked by an underground tunnel were also destroyed, it said, adding that the air strike was carried out based on "intelligence" and at the request of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.

Hajin, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Iraq’s border, is the largest populated hub still under ISIS control in Syria.

Last month the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that monitors the Syrian war said that at least 65 senior ISIS members live in Hajin.

The town has been surrounded since the end of last year by the Syrian Democratic Forces, a US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters, the monitor says.

Iraq’s air force has carried out several strikes on IS-held territory in Syria since April, including one targeting "the headquarters of IS terrorist gang leaders" in Hajin on May 24.

The following day Iraq released a video showing a strike on a huge building surrounded by palm trees and a wall which then collapsed.

IS declared a cross-border "caliphate" in Syria and Iraq in 2014, seizing a third of Iraq during a sweeping offensive.

The jihadists have since lost much ground to separate counter-offensives by Syrian and Iraqi forces as well as US-led operations, and the jihadist presence has been confined to a few holdouts in Deir ez-Zor.

In December the Iraqi government declared victory over ISIS but the military has continued regular operations targeting mostly desert areas along the porous Syrian border.
Al Ahram adds:
Those killed included high profile targets such as the group's "deputy war minister", one of its "media emirs", its leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...the head of ISIS, or what remains of it, and a veteran of the Abu Graib jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us. So far he has been killed at least four times, though not yet by a stake through the heart...

Iranian military commander killed in Syria near Iraq border
[Rudaw] A top Iranian military commander has been killed in eastern Syria near the Iraqi border, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has confirmed. No details have been given as to the circumstances of his death.

Brigadier General Shahrokh Daipour was killed on Friday in the town of Albu Kamal, according to Fars news agency.

Daipour, who is originally from Kermanshah, was in Syria to train regime forces. He was a former unit commander during the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988).

Since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, Iran has played a key role in supporting the regime of Bashir al-Assad, deploying thousands of its own personnel. Iran says its troops are only there as military advisers.

In April, Israeli jets targeted Syrian government military bases, reportedly killing Iranian forces.

On February 7, 2017, Seyed Mohammad Ali Shahidi Mahallati, Iran’s Director of Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs (DFMVA), said the families of more than 1,000 Iranian military forces killed in Syria are under the support of the DFMVA.

In March, during another event in Tehran, Mahallati said the DFMVA is taking care of 2,100 families of military personals killed in Syria and Iraq.

At the end of 2017, widespread protests swept Iran as people protested the nation’s involvement in Syria and demanded better living conditions.

Israeli officials have repeatedly asked Iranian military forces to withdraw from Syria. In May, Russia, another key Assad ally, said all foreign forces must leave Syria.

On May 21, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a list of 12 demands of Iran, including the withdrawal Iranian forces from Syria.

As Iran is expected to face more economic hardship with the return of US sanctions, it will be more costly for Iran to have a large military presence in Syria.
The Times of Israel adds:
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps announced Saturday that one of its senior commanders was killed on Friday while fighting Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
fighters in northeastern Syria.

The exact circumstances of Shahrokh Daiepour’s death were not disclosed, but the state-run Fars news agency said he had been involved in training fighters from the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy which has been fighting in Syria alongside forces loyal to Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Supressor of the Damascenes...
Daiepour had served as a commander in the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s Navy during the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s.

He was said to have been killed in the same area bordering Iraq where a massive air strike killed more than 50 pro-regime fighters last week. Damascus has accused the US-led coalition of carrying out the late-night June 17 strike on al-Hari, a town near the Iraqi border controlled by regional militias fighting in the complex seven-year war on behalf of Assad.

The day after the attack, a US official also told AFP that Washington "has reasons to believe that it was an Israeli strike."

Israel declined to comment, but a strike so far from its border would differ from most other strikes in Syria attributed to Israel, which have largely taken place closer to Syria’s borders with Israel and Leb.

The target, apparently Shiite Iraqi militia fighters loyal to Assad, would also mark a shift for Israel, which has previously only carried out Arclight airstrikes against Iran’s forces and its proxies, according to reports.

At a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel was "taking action ‐ against efforts to establish a military presence by Iran and its proxies in Syria both close to the border and deep inside Syria. We will act against these efforts anywhere in Syria."

Facebook, Twitter shutdown Hezbollah accounts
[ALMASDARNEWS] Facebook and Twitter have shutdown the Hezbollah affiliated media accounts that were using both social media sites, the Lebanese group reported on Saturday.

Central Military Media accused the US-based websites of running an "anti-media campaign," in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

The Hezbollah affiliated media site accused both Twitter and Facebook of sabotaging their accounts, despite not giving the reason for the alleged shut down.

Hezbollah is currently considered a terrorist group in the United States (US) and European Union

Intense clashes breakout in northern Aleppo for first time in days
[ALMASDARNEWS] Intense festivities broke-out between the jihadist rebels and Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the northwestern suburbs of Aleppo tonight.

The jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
launched several missiles and artillery shells towards the northwestern districts of Aleppo this evening, prompting a powerful response from the Syrian Arab Army shortly after.

According to a military source in the scenic provincial capital, the Syrian Arab Army launched a barrage of missiles towards the jihadist-held suburbs of Kafr Hamra and al-Layramoun, scoring direct hits on a number of targets.

Both parties are now exchanging heavy artillery and missiles in the al-Zahra’a Association Quarter, as they seek to inflict as much damage on one another’s defenses.

Tonight’s festivities in northern Aleppo mark the first time in several days that the jihadist rebels and Syrian Arab Army have exchanged hostilities in these suburbs.

Rebels launch fresh attack in southeast Daraa
[ALMASDARNEWS] The rebel forces launched a fresh attack against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in southeast Daraa tonight.

According to a military source in the government stronghold of Izra’a, the Free Syrian Army
... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund...
(FSA) and their allies launched a powerful attack on the Syrian Arab Army’s positions at the Barid Checkpoint that is located near the Sweida-Daraa axis.

The source added that the rebel forces managed to infiltrate the Syrian Arab Army’s defenses at the Barid Checkpoint; this prompted the government to send reinforcements from Sweida City to this front.

Not long after the rebel forces infiltrated their positions at the Sweida-Daraa axis, the Syrian Arab Army launched a counter-attack to retake the checkpoint and secure this area.

A number of murderous Moslems were killed and maimed during the brief rebel assault, including several members of the Free Syrian Army and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
The rebel attack was launched in response to the Syrian Arab Army’s large-scale offensive in northeast Daraa, which has already yielded big gains for the government.

Russia officially enters southwest Syria offensive despite US warnings
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian military officially entered the southwest Syria offensive this evening, a source told al-Masdar from the Dara’a Governorate.

The Russian Aerospace Forces unleashed a massive assault over northeastern Dara’a, tonight, targeting several areas controlled by the jihadist rebels.
