[NEWARAB] Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz said Wednesday that fighter jets had carried out strikes on Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...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 legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. 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 They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... "terror targets" at the airport in the Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... i capital of Sanaa, a day after the group fired two projectiles at Israel.
"Air Force jets have just struck terror targets of the Houthi terrorist organization at the airport in Sanaa and destroyed the last aircraft remaining," Katz said in a statement.
"This is a clear message and a continuation of our policy: whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay a heavy price," he added.
Houthi media shortly after reported that Israel had struck the airport.
The strikes comes a day after the Israeli military said that it had intercepted a missile and another projectile fired from Yemen by the Iran-backed group.
The Houthis, who control large swathes of Yemen, later confirmed that they had launched two "ballistic missiles" towards Israel.
The Houthis have repeatedly fired missiles and drones targeting Israel since 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 a rusty 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... war broke out in October 2023 following Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... 's attack on Israel.
Over 54,000 Paleostinians have been killed in Israel's onslaught on the enclave,
…possibly this number is true, though Hamas certainly can’t be bothered to do the work when imaginary horrors work well enough for propaganda purposes. The IDF claims to have killed some 25,000-30,000 jihadis between Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the minor terror groups. At any rate, various studies in recent years have demonstrated that while the normal ratio of civilian to military deaths in urban warfare is 9:1, in Gaza the IDF has held it to 2:1 — not that the haters are interested in that kind of reality check...
which is increasingly being slammed internationally over military plans to occupy the costal enclave. Israel is increasingly being accused of ethnically cleansing, and committing genocide in Gaza.
The Yemeni rebels, who say they are acting in solidarity with Paleostinians, paused their attacks during a two-month Gaza ceasefire that ended in March, but resumed them after Israel restarted its military campaign in the territory.
While most of the projectiles have been intercepted, one missile fired by the group in early May hit the perimeter of Ben Gurion international airport near Tel Aviv for the first time, sparking wide cancellations of international flights to Israel.
Israel has carried out several strikes in Yemen in recent months in retaliation for the attacks, including on ports and the airport in Sanaa.
The Israeli military said the strikes on Wednesday had destroyed aircraft belonging to the group.
"Similarly to the Hodeida and Salif ports that were struck last week, the main airport of Sanaa is continuously operated by the Houthi regime and is used by them for terror purposes," the army said.
Israeli fighter jets bombed the Houthi-controlled Sanaa International Airport in Yemen on Wednesday, in response to the Iran-backed group’s near-daily ballistic missile attacks on Israel.
Since the Israel Defense Force’s last strike on Yemen, on May 16, the Houthis launched at least seven missiles and several drones at Israel, the latest of them on Tuesday morning.
Israeli Air Force fighter jets, refuelers, and spy planes participated in Wednesday’s operation.
In a statement, the IDF said the strikes hit the airport and an aircraft used by the Houthis “to transport terrorists who advanced terror attacks on Israel.”
Defense Minister Israel Katz said the aircraft was the last remaining plane in use by the Houthis. The other planes were destroyed in an Israeli strike on the airport on May 6, also in response to frequent Houthi attacks.
The strike earlier this month destroyed the airport’s terminal and six planes, and left craters on its runway, according to Yemeni authorities. The airfield reopened for a flight 11 days later.
”Air traffic control? Who needs air traffic control when we have Allah in his heaven willing the airplanes up and down as he wills?”
Also this month, the IAF struck the Houthi-controlled Hodeida and Salif ports in Yemen in response to the Iran-backed group’s repeated attacks on Israel.
“Similar to the ports of Hodeida and Salif that were struck last week, the main airport in Sanaa is routinely operated by the Houthi regime and serves its terror purposes. This is another example of the cruel use made by the Houthi terror organization of civilian infrastructure for terror activities,” the IDF said Wednesday.
Katz said, “The ports in Yemen will continue to be struck heavily, and the airport in Sanaa will be destroyed again and again, as will other strategic infrastructures in the area used by the Houthi terror organization and its supporters,” Katz continued.
“The Houthi terror organization will be under naval and aerial blockade, as we pledged and warned. Anyone who harms us will be harmed sevenfold,” he said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement, similarly said, “We operate by a simple principle: Anyone who harms us — we will harm them.”
“The Houthis are just a symptom. The main power behind them is Iran, which is responsible for the aggression emanating from Yemen,” he said.
IRGC personnel decamped for safer environs weeks ago, leaving the Houthis completely defenseless against such IDF body punches But after the IAF destroyed Iran’s anti-aircraft defenses last year, is Iran any safer from IDF attack?
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched 41 ballistic missiles and at least 10 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.
…fallen in the sea, fallen on Saudi Arabia — wherever they went down, it was beyond the ken of Man.
Anomalous Sources responded to Breitbart’s report on the subject:
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded to days of missile attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen on Wednesday, targeting the Sanaa airport and destroying the Houthis’ last serviceable airplane. No doubt in answer to yesterdays post.
Note: I would have preferred the headline "Israel Destroys Remaining Half of Houthi Airplanes", but a win is a win.

[KavkazUzel] A comment on a social network, which security forces considered a justification of terrorism, gave rise to the criminal prosecution of a resident of North Ossetia.
A criminal case was opened against a resident of Vladikavkaz after her comment on a social network was noticed by employees of the "E" center in North Ossetia.
According to investigators, the woman left a text comment on a video recording on a social network in the summer of 2023. In this comment, Center "E" operatives found a "positive assessment" of the actions of an organization recognized as terrorist in Russia, the republican Investigative Committee department said in a statement on May 28.
A criminal case was opened under the article on public justification or propaganda of terrorism (part 2 of article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of Russia). This article provides for imprisonment from five to seven years.
The investigation's report does not specify whether the suspect was detained or whether a preventive measure was chosen for her.
"Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote about other cases of persecution of residents of the south of Russia under the article on justification of terrorism. Thus, on May 22 it became known that the security forces suspected a 21-year-old Volgograd resident of propaganda of terrorism after a comment under a publication about the counter-terrorist operation in Karabulak.
[NEWARAB] A Swedish man was indicted Tuesday in connection with the killing by the 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.... group of a Jordanian pilot whose plane went down in Syria on Christmas Eve 2014, prosecutors said.
The 26-year-old Jordanian, 1st Lt. Mu'ath al-Kaseasbeh, was taken captive after his F-16 fighter jet crashed near the holy warriors' de facto capital of Raqqa in northern Syria. He was forced into a cage that was set on fire, killing him on camera in early 2015.
The suspect was identified by Swedish prosecutors as Osama Krayem, 32, who is alleged to have travelled to Syria in September 2014 to fight for IS.
The airman became the first known foreign military pilot to fall into the krazed killers' hands after the U.S.-led international coalition began its aerial campaign against the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq in 2014. Jordan, a close U.S. ally, was a member of the coalition, and the pilot's killing appeared aimed at pressuring the government of Jordan to leave the alliance.
Krayem is set to go on trial on June 4 in Stockholm. He was previously convicted in La Belle France and Brussels for fatal Islamic State attacks in those countries.
Prosecutors on Tuesday charged a Swedish jihadist over the 2014 capture and subsequent killing of a Jordanian pilot, Moaz al-Kasasbeh, who was burned to death in a cage in Syria by the Islamic State (IS) group.
Osama Krayem, 32, was charged with “participating in the brutal execution of a pilot” near the city of Raqqa, prosecutor Reena Devgun told a press conference.
Krayem, who is already serving a 30-year sentence for involvement in the November 2015 terror attacks in Paris, was charged with “serious war crimes and terrorist crimes.”
According to prosecutors, who had announced they intended to charge Krayem last week, an aircraft belonging to the Royal Jordanian Air Force crashed in Syria on December 24, 2014. The pilot was captured by IS fighters the same day near the central city of Raqqa, and killed sometime before February 3, 2015. The execution was filmed and a 22-minute video accompanied by a specially composed religious chant was published.
In the video, the victim is seen walking past several masked IS fighters, including Krayem, according to prosecutors. The pilot is then locked in a cage that is set on fire, leading to his death, Henrik Olin, the other prosecutor in charge of the case, told reporters.
“This bestial murder, in which a prisoner was burned alive in a cage, was staged in a carefully produced video that was broadcast around the world. Its publication marked an unprecedented escalation in the Islamic State group’s violent propaganda,” Olin said.
Prosecutors have been unable to determine the exact day of the murder, but the investigation has identified the location where it took place.
‘OBLIGATION’ TO PROSECUTE
The defendant’s lawyer, Petra Eklund, told AFP that her client admitted to being present at the scene but disputed the prosecution’s version.
“He denies the acts for which he is prosecuted,” she said.
“He acknowledges having been present at that place during the event but claims not to have acted in the manner described by the prosecutors in the account of the facts.”
Krayem, who is from Malmo in southern Sweden, joined the IS group in Syria in 2014 before returning to Europe. In June 2022, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison in France for helping plan the November 2015 Paris attacks in which 130 people were killed. The following year, he was given a life sentence in Belgium for participating in the bombings on March 22, 2016, at Brussels’ main airport and on the metro system, which killed 32 people.
“Even though this is a person that’s already sentenced and is serving very long prison sentences in other countries, we will still charge him and we have an international obligation to do so,” Devgun told AFP.
Krayem has been “temporarily handed over to Sweden to participate in the trial,” which is scheduled to begin June 4, according to the Swedish Prosecution Authority.
“It is painful for my parents to be confronted with this event again, but we are grateful that the Swedish authorities want to give us justice,” Jawdat al-Kasasbeh, the pilot’s brother, told broadcaster Sveriges Radio.

[IsraelTimes] Anti-government protesters face off with police officers, some on horseback, outside Metzudat Zeev, the Likud party headquarters in central Tel Aviv, where at least 57 activists were arrested after dozens of people stormed the building, according to a group of lawyers representing anti-government protesters pro bono.
During the protest, activists projected a Qatari flag with the caption “Embassy of Qatar” in Hebrew and Arabic onto the building, which is named for Revisionist Zionist leader Zeev Jabotinsky and houses an institute that published his writings.
Senior aides to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who leads the Likud party, are suspected of committing multiple offenses while working for a pro-Qatar lobbying firm.
The Detainee Support Organization says those detained at “Metzudat Zeev Tel Aviv, turned this evening into the Qatari embassy,” have been taken to the Salame police station in the city’s south.
Cops at Metzudat Zeev drag protesters from the road to the sidewalk. Some of the protesters wear orange jumpsuits and masks with Netanyahu’s face.
The stench of horse droppings hangs heavy in the air, and a cloud of smoke is yet to dissipate from a fire the protesters had lit. The protesters chant “Civil rebellion” and “Ben Gvir is a terrorist,” referring to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who oversees the police.
A statement from police says two officers were taken for medical treatment after being wounded in the clashes, including one who broke his arm.
Thousands rally across Israel to mark 600 days since Oct. 7 Hamas assault
[IsraelTimes] Thousands of Israelis rally in different parts of the country to mark 600 days since the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led assault, when some 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage, and to call for the return of the remaining 58 hostages.
Reichman University students march the 15 kilometers from Herzliya to Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, where they join students from Tel Aviv University. Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, students and faculty at the Hebrew University’s Mount Scopus campus gather for a 58-minute demonstration for the 58 hostages still held captive.
Hundreds of young Israelis learning in pre-army preparatory programs take part in a series of marches that depart every two hours from Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square and follow a path around the nearby Defense Ministry compound.
A motorcade of dozens of cars drives from Latrun to Tel Aviv, and hundreds of people participate in the silent sit-in held by Shift 101 at Tel Aviv’s historic Bialik Square.
Maccabit Meir, aunt to hostage twins Ziv Berman and Gali Berman, says that victory in Israel can’t be achieved without the return of the brothers to their mother’s arms, along with the return of the rest of the hostages. Only then can Israeli society heal, she says.
“I hope you are able to remember your hopes and dreams and transmit your thoughts to one another even if you’re not together,” Meir tells her nephews.
Meir is joined by Ruti Strum, the mother of hostage Eitan Horn and released hostage Iair Horn, as well as Dalia Cusnir, the Horns’ sister-in-law and Niva Wenkert, the mother of released hostage Omer Wenkert.
Singer-songwriter Rona Kenan joins them and softly leads the gathering in singing ‘Sahki, sahki,’ a social protest song written by Shaul Tchernikovsky 120 years ago.

[IsraelTimes] The Gaza Humanitarian Fund denies reports of deaths, mass injuries and chaos at its aid distribution sites, saying that only two people have been injured at its compounds since it began operating in Gaza three days ago.
“To-date two Gazans have required medical care that was delivered on-site — one relating to dehydration and another who was injured by others seeking aid,” says a GHF statement.
It says Hamas and other parties are bent on GHF failing and spreading false reports in order to harm the US and Israeli backed organization. One of those false reports claimed that GHF halted operations due to gunfire at one of its site earlier Wednesday.
While GHF urges journalists to verify sources before publishing developments pertaining to GHF, the organization yesterday issued a statement claiming that only a “small number” of Palestinians overran one of its aid sites when footage showed that thousands looted their sites.
In reviewing that incident in its latest statement, GHF avoids downplaying the scope of yesterday’s overrun, but says it was anticipated due to “acute hunger and Hamas-imposed blockades.”
[IsraelTimes] Hamas-run health ministry says one killed, 48 hurt in Tuesday riot when shots fired at crowd; GHF denies site was overrun, problems were ‘anticipated,’ says no deaths at its locations

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... Humanitarian Foundation said Wednesday it had successfully opened its second aid distribution center in southern Gaza, after the launch of its first site a day earlier descended into chaos when crowds stormed the facility.
Gaza’s Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... -run health ministry said Wednesday that at least one Paleostinian was killed and 48 others were maimed the day before when shots were fired on the crowd that swarmed the first site, in Rafah. The second site is also located in Rafah.
GHF said late Wednesday that there had been no deaths at any of its locations.
GHF "is continuing its operations today, opening another Safe Distribution Site and distributing aid without incident," the organization said.
"The situation remains urgent. But every hour, more people are fed," it added.
According to the foundation, both sites were now fully operational.
GHF said that the newly opened site delivered "all available aid without incident — approximately eight trucks’ worth."
In total, GHF said it has distributed "approximately 14,550 food boxes," or 840,262 meals across the two sites. Each box is intended to feed an average of 5.5 people for 3.5 days.
"Operations will continue scaling across all four sites, with plans to build additional sites across Gaza in the weeks ahead," the foundation said.
On Tuesday, crowds of Paleostinians broke through the fences around the first distribution site. An News Agency that Dare Not be Named journalist heard Israeli tank and gun fire, and saw a military helicopter firing flares.
The Israel Defense Forces said troops only fired warning shots into the air.
It was not known whether the alleged death and the injuries were caused by Israeli forces, American private contractors securing the site, or other parties. The foundation said its military contractors had not fired on the crowd but "fell back" before resuming aid operations.
Footage of the event appeared chaotic amid the looting and the gunfire.
Ajith Sunghay, head of the UN Human Rights Office for the Paleostinian territories, told news hounds in Geneva on Wednesday that 47 people were maimed, mostly by gunfire.
"From the information we have, there are about 47 people who have been injured" in Tuesday’s incident, Sunghay told the UN correspondents’ association.
He added that "most of those injured are due to gunshots" and based on the information he has, "it was shooting from the IDF."
Sunghay stressed that his office was still assessing and gathering information on the full picture of events.
"The numbers could go up. We are trying to confirm what has happened to [the injured]," in terms of their condition, Sunghay added.
He also expressed concern about whether injured people would have access to medical aid in the devastated Strip.
A medical source in southern Gaza told AFP that after Tuesday’s stampede at the GHF site, "more than 40 injured people arrived at Nasser Hospital, the majority of them maimed by Israeli gunfire," adding that at least one had died since.
The source added that "a number of other civilians also arrived at the hospital with various bruises."
IDF front man Colonel Olivier Rafowicz told AFP, referring to the maimed civilians, "We are checking information from the UN. At the time we are speaking, we have no information on this matter."
Israeli soldiers "fired warning shots into the air, in the area outside" the center managed by the GHF, he said, adding that "in no case [did they fire] towards the people."
Rafowicz added that "Hamas is doing everything to prevent humanitarian aid."
GHF on Wednesday denied that the site had been overrun or destroyed, and said it had "anticipated" coming under pressure "due to acute hunger and Hamas-imposed blockades, which create dangerous conditions outside the gates."
"As in all emergency response situations, particularly in conflict zones, this type of reaction from stressed beneficiary populations is expected and we remain prepared to continue providing life-saving assistance should disruptions occur," the group said.
There was reportedly more trouble overnight Tuesday, with footage circulating on social media showing dozens of Gazooks taking control of a humanitarian aid truck that arrived in the Nuseirat area in central Gaza and unloading its contents.
According to reports, during the night, looters pillaged 18 trucks carrying aid that had been intended for the northern Gaza Strip, and beat the drivers. Four trucks were said to have been destroyed. It was not immediately clear if the trucks were operating under the GHF. Some aid distribution is still being carried out using previous systems.
Aid organizations had warned of the risk of looting by desperate civilians when aid was resumed.
War in the Paleostinian enclave was triggered on October 7, 2023, when the Paleostinian terror group Hamas, which rules Gaza, led a devastating invasion of southern Israel that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians.
The incident in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip came days after the partial easing of a total aid blockade on the Paleostinian territory that Israel imposed on March 2, leading to severe shortages of food and medicine.
Since aid deliveries have resumed, 876 trucks carrying humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza, according to the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, including 121 trucks on Wednesday.
Some of the truckloads were to the new aid distribution sites in southern Gaza’s Rafah. The contents of many of the trucks were still awaiting collection on the Gazook side of the Kerem Shalom Crossing, after first being inspected there by Israeli authorities.
Israel has said it means for the GHF to take over aid operations, to prevent Hamas from siphoning off supplies that are supposed to go to the general population.
The UN and other international organizations have withheld backing for the GHF.
Not Invented Here syndrome, common to all organizations.

According to reports, the warehouse is situated along Salah al-Din Road, which runs through the Strip, in the Al-Maghazi area of central Gaza.
One Telegram channel critical of Hamas claims that the warehouses belong to the terror group, but this has not been independently confirmed.
Both the Hamas-run local government in Gaza and UNRWA later put out a statement claiming that the warehouse belonged to the UN’s World Food Program, and not Hamas.
IDF reveals it used laser system to intercept dozens of Hezbollah drones last year
[IsraelTimes] During the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Leb ...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?... last year, the Israeli Air Force intercepted dozens of drones launched by the terror group using a new laser interception system, the military and Defense Ministry revealed on Wednesday.
The new system used during the fighting is a lower-powered version of the Iron Beam laser interceptor, which is set to be delivered to the Israel Defense Forces later this year. Both systems are developed by Israeli defense firm Rafael.
The ministry said the development of the system was advanced in light of the Hezbollah drone threat in the north.
Hezbollah fired more than 300 explosive-laden drones at Israel amid the fighting, with many evading air defenses and causing damage and casualties.
"Throughout the current war, the IAF, including its Aerial Defense Array soldiers, studied and deployed the laser systems in the field, achieving outstanding interception rates that saved civilian lives and protected national assets," the IDF and Defense Ministry said.
The ministry released footage showing some of the successful interceptions.
A laser interception system shoots down drones over northern Israel, in an undated video published by the Defense Ministry on May 28, 2025. (Defense Ministry)
Also on Wednesday, the IDF said it was reorganizing its defenses on the Lebanese border, six months into the ceasefire that ended the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
The 146th Reserve Division, which was tasked with the western portion of the border with Lebanon since the beginning of the war, has been withdrawn, and instead, the 91st "Galilee" Regional Division is retaking responsibility for the entire frontier, from Rosh Hanikra up to, but not including, Mount Dov.
The actual number of forces on the Lebanese border, triple the amount of troops compared to before the war, will remain more or less the same even after the demobilization of the 146th Division, as the troops will be placed under the 91st Division instead.
The 91st Division is also forming a third regional brigade to be tasked with the central region of the border, in addition to the 300th "Baram" Brigade in the west and the 769th "Hiram" Brigade in the east.
Currently, the as-yet unnamed central regional brigade is being staffed by the division’s 8th Reserve Armored Brigade.
The division is also in the process of incorporating the newly revived 946th Air Defense Battalion, which operates anti-drone systems, including the new laser system.
During the ongoing ceasefire in Lebanon, the IDF has continued to strike Hezbollah operatives and sites it says violate the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
On Wednesday, during a visit to Northern Command headquarters in Safed, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said Israel would continue to "weaken" Hezbollah.
"We will continue to act, remove threats and weaken Hezbollah to protect the northern communities and the State of Israel," Zamir said in remarks published by the IDF. "The Northern Command changed the security reality in the area and strengthened the security on the border."
Since the start of the ceasefire, the IDF says it has killed over 180 Hezbollah operatives, including 38 senior commanders and another 28 lower-ranking officers in the terror group.
An Israeli dronezap on Tuesday night in southern Lebanon’s Yater killed a commander in Hezbollah, the military announced Wednesday.
According to the IDF, the operative, named by local media as Nabil Balaghi, was the commander of Hezbollah’s forces in the Yater area. During the war, Balaghi "advanced attacks against IDF troops and Israel," the IDF said, adding that recently he attempted to restore Hezbollah’s capabilities in the Yater area, which "constitutes a blatant violation of the [ceasefire] deal."
The November 2024 ceasefire ended more than a year of fighting, including some two months of open war, between Israel and Hezbollah. The fighting began on October 8, 2023, when the Iran-backed terror group started attacking Israel daily with missiles and drones in support of Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... Israel was obligated to withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon under the ceasefire. It pulled out from all but five strategic posts located several hundred meters inside Lebanon, which it says are necessary to defend Israeli communities.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] UN trucks delivering food to 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 a rusty 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... were stopped and looted overnight, Gaza residents and merchants said on Wednesday, hours after desperate Paleostinians overran a distribution site run by a US-backed group trying to start delivering aid.
The incidents underscore the problems getting supplies to hundreds of thousands of Paleostinians facing worsening hunger and starvation after a weeks-long Israeli blockade.
On Tuesday, Israeli troops fired warning shots as crowds rushed to a distribution point run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed group that began supplying aid under a new system which Israel hopes will prevent aid reaching Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... 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... and other international aid groups have refused to take part, saying the scheme violates the principle that aid should be distributed neutrally, based only on need.
As the new system began, the Israeli military also allowed 95 trucks belonging to the UN and other aid groups into the enclave, but three Gaza residents and three merchants said a number of trucks were targeted by looters.
One Paleostinian transport operator said at least 20 trucks belonging to the UN World Food Programme were attacked shortly before midnight.
''Some trucks made it through, then it seems that people became aware of that,'' one witness told Rooters via a chat app, declining to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue.
''They woke up, some placed barriers on the road intercepted and stole the goods.''
Israeli forces, which resumed their operation in Gaza in March following a brief truce, continued strikes on Wednesday, killing at least 15 people including eight members of the family of a local journalist, Paleostinian health officials said.

Bombing across the enclave has killed at least 23 people, according to Paleostinian news agency Wafa, with nine people killed and 15 maimed in a strike on Gaza City.
Meanwhile,
...back at the desert island, Irene was indignant at the thought of doing such a thing without benefit of clergy... a new aid distribution system in the enclave has faced further criticism following chaotic scenes on Tuesday of Paleostinians clamoring for life-saving aid.
The UN has said that 47 Paleostinians were maimed, including gunshot wounds, while attempting to receive food aid at distribution sites on Tuesday, as famine threatens Gaza.
Phillipo Lazzarini, the chief of the UN's agency for Paleostine Refugees (UNRWA), said that the new mechanism for aid distribution "is a waste of resources and a distraction from atrocities".

[IsraelTimes] Pedram Madani was found guilty of ‘spying in favor of the Zionist regime,’ judiciary news outlet says; last month, another alleged Mossad collaborator was executed
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.
