[GEO.TV] The Israeli military said Tuesday it intercepted a missile and another projectile fired from 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... , where 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... rebels have regularly launched attacks they say are in response to Israel's offensive in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with 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... "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted," the Israeli military wrote on Telegram.
It said in a separate statement that a projectile was intercepted by the air force, without sirens being activated.
While most of the projectiles have been intercepted, a missile fired by the group in early May hit the perimeter of Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv for the first time.
Israel has carried out several strikes in Yemen in recent months, including on ports and the airport in Sanaa.
Sirens sound in northern West Bank settlements for first projectile, sending thousands to shelters; no injuries or damage reported
Two ballistic missiles launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen were successfully intercepted by air defenses, the military said Tuesday morning, in what has recently become an almost daily occurrence.
The first missile set off sirens shortly after 5 a.m. in several northern West Bank and Jordan Valley settlements, sending thousands to bomb shelters.
Preceding the sirens by about four minutes, an early warning was issued to residents, alerting them of the long-range missile attack via a push notification on their phones.
The second missile was intercepted at around 7:30 a.m., the Israel Defense Forces said. No sirens were activated “according to protocol,” the IDF said, as no towns were under any threat.
There were no reports of injuries or damage in the attacks.
The missiles were the fourth and fifth Houthi attacks on Israel in five days.

[KavkazUzel] A military court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Dagestani resident Shamil Aliyev to a long prison term, recognizing him as a participant and recruiter of the “Islamic State”.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on August 31, security forces announced the arrest in Adygea of a suspected militant of a terrorist organization, suspected of recruiting residents of Maikop to the "Islamic State". The Maikop City Court subsequently sent the detainee into custody.
In the operational video footage, the man, upon being detained, answers questions from one of the security officers: he says that he planned to go to Turkey "with an Afghan" to meet with a representative of a terrorist organization.
The Southern District Military Court today announced the verdict against Shamil Aliyev, finding him guilty under two articles: participation in the activities of a terrorist organization (part 2 of article 205.5) and recruitment into it (part 1.1 of article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
According to the investigation and the court, Aliyev, while in Dagestan, joined an international terrorist organization in 2024 and swore an oath to its leader. In August of the same year, already in Maykop, he met a citizen of Afghanistan and convinced him to also join ISIS, the court's press service reported.
According to the prosecution, from August 11 to 30, Aliyev convinced the foreigner to join the terrorist organization: he explained to him the ideology of the militants and showed him videos about their activities.
Shamil Aliyev was sentenced to 14 years in a maximum security penal colony with the first three years to be served in prison, according to a message on the court's Telegram channel.
According to the court file, Aliyev's case was submitted for consideration in early February, and six hearings were held before the verdict was issued. The "Caucasian Knot" has no comments from the accused or his lawyer regarding the verdict or plans to appeal.

[Regnum] Footage of the detention of four more members of the gang of Shamil Basayev
…Shamil Salmanovich Basayev, also known as Emir Abdullah Shamil Abu-Idrisand by his kunya, “Abu Idris” (1965-2006). Basayev was a Chechen warlord in the post-Soviet Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which after his death became the Al Qaeda-linked Caucasus Emirate. In 2015 most of the hard boys changed their allegiance to the local Islamic State affiliate, Vilayat Kavkaz, whereupon a majority chose to escape the Spetsnaz hunting them by making hijra to the caliphate in Syria — those that survived the reconquest and the SDF prison camps are about to become the property of the HTS government of Syria, which will be educational, one way or another. Some of Basayev’s projects were the 2004 Beslan school siege and the 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis...
and Amir Khattab, involved in attacks on Russian military personnel in 1999-2000 in the North Caucasus, was published by the FSB on May 27.
Security forces made arrests in four regions. Arsen Koldasov was detained in Stavropol, Radzhab Khasayev in Dagestan, Batyr Arsanov in Ingushetia, and Rasul Takhtamirov in Astrakhan Oblast.
The video also shows the interrogation of one of the detainees. He confessed and signed the documents.
“That’s how I ended up there,” the gang member said.
No doubt a relief after having been hunted for a quarter century.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Investigative Committee established that Koldasov, Khasayev, Arsanov and Takhtamirov participated in attacks on the territory of the Botlikh region of Dagestan in August 1999 as part of the gang of Basayev and Khattab.
In October of the same year, bandits attacked Russian soldiers in Chechnya near the village of Chervlennaya in the Shelkovsky District. Also in Chechnya in February 2000, a gang attacked Pskov paratroopers near the village of Ulus-Kert in the Shatoi District. As a result of these attacks, more than 130 soldiers were killed, and more than 80 were injured to varying degrees of severity.
Many members of Basayev and Khattab's gang have already been detained and are serving their sentences. In October last year, security forces detained three more gang members. Two more were detained and placed under arrest in December.

[THUMP!]
"Owwwww!"
"Call an ambulance for Officer Usman, Chaudry!"
Authorities said that three individuals have been arrested on charges of involvement in the clash. An FIR has been registered against the arrested suspects and 30 to 40 unidentified persons.

"A wunnerful time wuz had by all, except the guys in intensive care!"
"And the ones that wuz shot!"
"Gave 'em somethin' to talk about on the honeymoon!"

[IsraelTimes] Raids reported in Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, Tubas; Palestinians say 1 killed, 20 treated for tear gas inhalation, 3 for rubber bullet wounds, after clashes break out
Israeli forces raided foreign exchange stores in several West Bank cities, including Ramallah and Nablus, on Tuesday, accusing their parent company of "connections with terrorist organizations," according to an army closure notice.
"Israeli forces are taking action against al-Khaleej Exchange Company due to its connections with terrorist organizations," a leaflet left at the company’s Ramallah location read.
Several army vehicles were seen at the store’s entrance while soldiers came out carrying items covered by a cloth.
Two army vehicles escorted one of the store’s employees away from the premises.
A military official confirmed to The Times of Israel that the Israel Defense Forces and Israel Police had launched an operation across the West Bank aimed at seizing "terror funds."
The owners of money exchange companies who Israel believes are funneling cash to terror groups will be detained, the official added.
In the northern West Bank city of Nablus, Israeli forces raided a second foreign exchange store belonging to the al-Khaleej company, as well as a gold store.
Some Paleostinian residents of Nablus were seen clashing with the army during the raid, throwing objects at troops.
The Ramallah-based ministry of health said one man was killed and eight other people were maimed by Israeli forces’ live ammunition during a raid in Nablus on Tuesday.
The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy said it treated 20 people for tear gas inhalation and three others who were maimed by rubber bullets.
Video published by Quds News purported to show soldiers surrounding a foreign exchange office in the West Bank city of Tubas.

"These assaults on economic institutions, accompanied by the looting of large sums of money and the confiscation of property, are an extension of the piracy policies adopted by the (Israeli) government," the group said in a statement, adding that the targeted companies were "operating within the law."
The Ramallah-based Paleostinian Authority and the IDF did not respond to AFP requests for comment.

At least 79 people were killed and 163 maimed, as reported by hospitals in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours.
The update does not include hospitals in the North Governorate due to the difficulty of accessing them, Al Jazeera reported.
The figures bring the number of people killed since the start of the war to 54,056, with 123,129 maimed.
There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defence crews are unable to reach them.

Thousands of Paleostinians on Tuesday overran one of the newly established aid distribution sites in 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 a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... ’s Rafah, only hours after the military announced the new aid mechanism, backed by Israel and the United States, began operating for the first time.
Footage posted to social media showed crowds surging into the area and taking boxes of food.
The IDF, which secures the area around the facility, confirmed that troops fired warning shots outside the compound, but denied reports claiming it opened fire from a helicopter or towards the center itself.
A military source said an Israeli Air Force helicopter was operating over the sea at the time of the incident, but not anywhere close to the distribution site.
Asked about the overrun of one of GHF’s Rafah distribution sites by thousands of Palestinians on Tuesday, the US official downplays the incident, insisting that it lasted 20 minutes.
"Control over the situation was established, food distribution operations are expected to continue as planned, and the safety of IDF troops was not compromised," the military added.
According to Paleostinian reports, the American security personnel charged with securing the area expeditiously departed at a goodly pace. There were no reports of casualties in the incident.
The newly created Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sought to downplay the incident, saying that its American security subcontractors fell back in order to allow "a small number" of people to take food.
"The needs on the ground are great. At one moment in the late afternoon, the volume of people at the SDS was such that the GHF team fell back to allow a small number of Gazooks to take aid safely and dissipate," GHF said in a statement.
Before the break-in, GHF said that "approximately 8,000 food boxes have been distributed so far. Each box feeds 5.5 people for 3.5 days, totaling 462,000 meals."
GHF claimed its operations have returned to normal.
The military announced earlier that two out of four of the recently established sites began operating for the first time, initially delivering food packages to thousands of Paleostinian families.
However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... an Israeli security official also tried to downplay the incident, telling the Ynet site that none of the aid had been looted.
The newly opened aid centers are operated by the GHF, an American organization that is backed by Israel, designed to bypass the UN and traditional aid agencies in a bid to keep the supplies away from Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... The UN and other international organizations withheld much-needed backing of the GHF, arguing that its aid initiative violates humanitarian principles by requiring Gazooks to walk long distances in order to receive aid and limiting distribution to southern Gaza, a move that would forcibly displace the Paleostinian population.
Footage purportedly shows thousands of Paleostinians overrunning one of the aid distribution sites in southern Gaza's Rafah a short while ago.
Three of the distribution sites are located in the Tel Sultan area of southern Gaza’s Rafah, while the fourth is in the Netzarim Corridor area, south of Gaza City. The two sites that began operations on Tuesday are in Rafah.
"The establishment of the distribution centers took place over the last few months, facilitated by the Israeli political echelon and in coordination with the US government," the IDF said in its first official comment on the aid sites.
"This process coincided with an ongoing dialogue and cooperation with the IDF, through the Southern Command and COGAT, as well as international aid organizations, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and the American civilian security company," it said.
The IDF said it will "continue to facilitate humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip, while making every possible effort to ensure that the aid does not reach the hands of the Hamas terrorist organization."
Images showed aid boxes included bags of rice and dried beans, as well as flour, oil, salt, and canned vegetables, many of them in Israeli packaging.
"I am so scared because they said the company belongs to Israel and is a mercenary, and also because the resistance [Hamas] said not to go," he said in a message on the chat app WhatsApp.
Even before the chaos on Tuesday, Paleostinians voiced wariness over the new program.
"As much as I want to go because I am hungry and my children are hungry, I am afraid," said Abu Ahmed, 55, a father of seven. "I am so scared because they said the company belongs to Israel and is a mercenary, and also because the resistance [Hamas] said not to go," he said in a message on the chat app WhatsApp.
Hamas, which has in recent months faced protests by many Paleostinians who want the devastating war to end, has warned residents against accessing GHF sites, saying Israel was using the company to collect intelligence information.
"Do not go to Rafah... Do not fall into the trap... Do not risk your lives. Your homes are your fortress. Staying in your neighborhoods is survival, and awareness is your protection," a statement published by the Hamas-linked Home Front said.
"These schemes will be broken by the steadfastness of a people who do not know defeat," it added.
"Before the war, my fridge used to be full of meat, chicken, dairy, soft drinks, everything, and now I am begging for a loaf of bread," Abu Ahmed told Rooters via a chat app.
As the mechanism began operations, Jens Laerke, a spokesperson for the UN humanitarian office (OCHA), said the GHF was a distraction from what is needed, such as the opening of crossing points.
Additionally, Juliette Touma, communications director of the UN Paleostinian refugee agency, said the UN does not know what is being distributed.
"We don’t have any information," she said. "We know what’s needed, we know what’s missing, and we are very, very far from that daily target."
“Aid is getting to the people in need, and through their secure distribution system, Israel is kept safe and Hamas empty handed,” says a statement to reporters attributed to a senior administration official.
The official appears to cite GHF’s figures, stating that roughly 8,000 boxes of food have been distributed in the foundation’s first two days of operation, with each box feeding 5.5 people for 3.5 days, totaling 462,000 meals.
The Trump official says GHF is managing to operate in Gaza, despite attempts by Hamas to place blockades on aid trucks. “GHF is a threat to Hamas’s longstanding system of looting the assistance intended for the people of Gaza.”
“The UN and other aid agencies were wrong to criticize,” the senior Trump administration official says, making no mention of Tuesday’s mass-looting incident in one of the two distribution sites GHF has begun to operate. “These organizations echoed Hamas talking points rather than praising those who are delivering results.”
While GHF was only registered this year, the Trump official says the project was born during the Biden administration but was dropped due to “bureaucratic incompetence.”
The Trump administration was impressed by the idea, though, and got behind it. “We support bold, out-of-the-box efforts to make life better for Gazans. GHF is doing exactly that. And we’re proud to back their incredible mission,” the official says.
US will renew push for countries to fund GHF once it demonstrates results — official
[IsraelTimes] The Trump administration plans to renew its push for countries and international organizations to fund the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation once its new aid distribution initiative proves to be a success, a US official tells The Times of Israel. The US official acknowledges that European countries and other nations approached earlier this month about backing GHF did not respond “favorably.”
“Countries are used to doing what they have always done,” the US official says.
However, the US official is unfazed by the initial negative response from countries, who have refrained from bankrolling GHF to date.
“The United States is a leader in innovation and once GHF works, others will want to share in its success,” the official adds.
Asked about the overrun of one of GHF’s Rafah distribution sites by thousands of Palestinians on Tuesday, the US official downplays the incident, insisting that it lasted 20 minutes and that over 400,000 meals were fed as a result of the foundation’s work.
[GEO.TV] Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has said that Leb ...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... will consider bilateral ties with Israel if an agreement leads to ''real peace''.
''We are a peace-seeking nation, but we want a real peace. Israel is occupying territories that belong to our country,'' he was quoted as telling Sky News Arabia by Lebanese and Israeli media.
Of weapons in Paleostinian refugee camps in Lebanon, Salam said: ''What's dangerous about the camps' arms is that they may lead to an inter-Paleostinian strife.''
