[IsraelTimes] Raid comes hours after IS affiliate fires rocket into Negev; Israel on alert amid warnings of terror attacks from peninsula.
A dronezap in Egypt’s southern Sinai region killed one person on Monday, according to reports in Arabic-language media.
The strike was on a home in the town of Rafah, which borders the Gazoo Strip, al-Jazeera reported. The network attributed the strike to Israel, but there was no confirmation of this.
The Egyptian military was reported to have carried out a number of air strikes in the terror-ridden peninsula on Monday.
The reported strike came hours after a rocket attack from Sinai was fired into southern Israel earlier on Monday, an attack claimed by 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.... affiliate in Sinai..
On its official Twitter account, the terror group said "the fighters of the Islamic State have bombed a Jewish settlement in southern Paleostine with a Grad rocket."
Just after 11:30 a.m. on Monday morning, the incoming missile alarm known as a "Code Red" sounded in the Negev’s Eshkol region, near Israel’s westernmost edge, at the border with Egypt and the Gazoo Strip.
After a search of the area, police found the rocket in the community of Yuval, near the Egyptian border, in a greenhouse where tomatoes were being grown. The greenhouse was lightly damaged by the rocket.
The attack came hours after Israel shut down the Taba Crossing into the Sinai Peninsula, citing information about an imminent terror attack in the area.
On Monday morning, in a highly unusual move, the Transportation Ministry shut down the Taba Crossing into the Sinai Peninsula. It is expected to reopen next Tuesday, April 18, with the end of the Passover holiday, but that decision will only be made following a security assessment, the ministry said in a statement.
Israelis currently in the Sinai Peninsula will still be able to return from Egypt and are, in fact, encouraged to do so immediately, the ministry said.
Thousands of Israelis had been expected to cross into the Sinai Peninsula for the Passover holiday.
The decision to forbid that move came a day after two lethal attacks on Egyptian churches by the terrorist group’s so-called Sinai Province.
The closure was ordered by Transportation and Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz, after consultation with Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman and other security officials, according to the ministry’s statement.
This was one of the few times the Taba Crossing was shut down since its opening in 1982, following the Israeli-Egyptian peace deal. The crossing was shut down in 2014, following a terror attack on the Egyptian side of the border. It was also closed in 2011 when Israel also assessed there was a high risk of terror attacks.

The incident in the southern city of Assiut occurred a day after Egypt's cabinet approved a three-month state of emergency in the wake of Islamic State attacks on two Christian Coptic churches that killed at least 44 people.
The seven murderous Moslems were killed after they opened fire on security forces who approached them as they were meeting to plot further attacks on Christians, the ministry said in a statement. Assiut has a significant Christian population.
Ammunition, weapons, a cycle of violence and Islamic State books and publications were found at the scene, the statement said.

The new operation, according to Barghathi’s front man Mohammed al-Ghasri, is called al-Amal al-Muad ("The Promise of Hope").
Large reinforcements are also reported heading from Cyrenaica to the Tamenhint area.
According to a resident at the nearby Tamanhint village, however, at the moment the situation remains unchanged at the base. Occasional small arms fire could be heard from around it today, he said, but otherwise the situation has remained relatively quiet. He did report, though, that a small unit of the Misrata’s Third Force unit at the base had moved out and headed to Jufra saying they did not want to be involved in fighting with the surrounding LNA forces led by General Mohammed Ben Nayel.
This has not been confirmed, however.
On Wednesday, LNA aircraft and Ben Nayel’s forces launched a coordinated attack on the base, but it petered out after a short while.
Local officials have repeatedly called on the two sides to continue negotiations and avoid fighting.

[NAIJ] A soldier has shot dead a Boko Haram bomber who attempted to infiltrate University of Maiduguri through the works department on Sunday, April 9.
The bomber was killed trying to infiltrate University of Maiduguri through the works department. The Punch reports that the bomber entered the University through the back gate with the aim of penetrating the school before being gunned down dead by a vigilant soldier.
NAIJ.com learnt that public relations officer of the school, Mr Tanko Ahmed, also confirmed the botched attack on the institution. The spokesperson said the incident occurred around 11pm on Sunday night, April 9. He said the works department where the incident occurred has been cordoned off by security agents to render the area safe.
In another version of accounts, Sahara reporters said the foiled attack on the institution was carried out by two male bombers who were stopped by dogs from wreaking havoc on the academic community.
"The bombers blew themselves up as soon as they sighted the dogs barking at them as they could no longer help the situation.
"They came in through the back door and were prepared to denote the bombs before they were sighted by the dogs which prevented them from unleashing mayhem on the university community," a staff of the university, Abubakar Mohammed said.
NAIJ.com recalls that this will be the second a bomber will be attacking University of Maiduguri after the first attack in January that claimed the life of a professor of veterinary medicine and four others.
In another incident, some gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram Islamist, on Saturday, April 8, opened fire at private and commercial vehicles along the Maiduguri-Damboa road. It was reported that the vehicles that were attacked were those going to southern part of Borno state from Maiduguri, the capital. According to Daily Trust, shortly before taking off, some gunmen suddenly appeared and shot sporadically, killing scores and injuring many.
An official says twojacket wallah'> exploding trollop female suicide bombers went kaboom! near the fence surrounding the University of Maiduguri in northeastern Nigeria.
Ibrahim Abdulkadir, front man for the National Emergency Management Agency, said there were no casualties other than the attackers in the pre-dawn hours of Monday.
The suicide bombers reportedly were not permitted entry by security personnel deployed around the university.
Still, whoever the explodees were before they became an expanding pink mist, they harmed no one but themselves and now are enjoying the dubious pleasures of a welcoming Hell. So there's that.

[AlAhram] Clashes and air strikes in southwest 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. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... have killed more than 40 soldiers, rebels and civilians over the past 24 hours, officials and medics said on Monday.
Warplanes from the Saudi-led Arab coalition have pounded Huthi rebel positions east of the Red Sea port of Mokha and other areas of Taez province since Sunday, a military official said.
Clashes raged after the air raids in the Jabal al-Nar area east of Mokha and north of the city on the road to Hodeida, Yemen's main Red Sea port, the official said.
At least 17 rebels were killed in the air strikes and fighting, medical sources in rebel-held Hodeida said.
The coalition-backed government says Hodeida is its next target in a months-long offensive aimed at pushing the Iran-backed faceless myrmidons away from the country's lengthy Red Sea coastline.
Another 11 rebels were killed in air strikes on Kamran island and a base in Hodeida itself, the medical sources said.
Ten soldiers were also killed and 15 were maimed in the confrontations, said medical sources in Aden, the temporary base of the government as Sanaa remains under rebel control.
Meanwhile, ...back at the laboratory, Igor and Oleg were discussing what the quickest way might be to deal with the monster... three non-combatants were killed and two others were maimed Monday in a bombing that targeted the convoy of General Ali Muqbel Saleh, commander of the 33rd Armoured Brigade, in Daleh city, a security official said.

The regional court in the western city of Cologne ...a lovely city in Germany. They invented perfume there... said in a statement that the defendant was found guilty of plotting "a serious act of violence threatening state security."
The teenager, who was not identified by the court, was incarcerated ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... at an asylum shelter in Cologne in September and went on trial in February.
Police had said the suspect’s mobile phone showed he had been in touch with an IS contact abroad and expressed willingness to carry out a bombing.
Investigators found online chat messages on the phone that included "concrete instructions" for building an bomb.
However the court found that the plot was thwarted at a "very early stage." "At no time was the public specifically in danger," it said.
The teenager and his family were among the nearly 900,000 migrants colonists and refugees who arrived in Germany in 2015, a record influx that has fueled security concerns.
The suspect was brought to police attention after residents and employees at the refugee shelter where he was staying voiced concerns that he had been radicalized, as did a local mosque.
The court found that the "particular loneliness" of his housing situation at the shelter meant that he spent most of his time on his mobile phone, making him easy prey for jihadist propaganda online.
In its ruling Monday, the court accepted the prosecution's claim that the teen received bomb-making instructions from a person in Israel with ties to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

Abdul-Ghani al-Assadi, commander of the army’s elite Counter-Terrorism Forces, said his forces completed "two thirds" of missions assigned to them as part of the Mosul liberation campaign. He said in statements that his forces took over 28 districts out of 38 on their targets list.
Earlier on Monday, the special operations command at the army’s elite Counter-Terrorism Forces said they invaded al-Sekak district. Its senior commander, Maan al-Saadi, was quoted by Almirbad news website saying troops were positioning at the heart of the district, engaging in intense fights with IS myrmidons.
Iranian channel al-Alam’s website said the ICTF became closer to the nearby al-Abar district.
Iraqi government forces, backed by paramilitary troops and a U.S.-led coalition, recaptured eastern Mosul from IS in January after three months of fighting, and launched another offensive mid February to retake the western region.
Troops have been struggling to fully retake central Mosul’s Old City, a densely-populated and structured area which military generals view as vital for victory over IS in that region. They specifically eye the area’s Grand Nuri Mosque where IS supreme leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... proclaimed the group’s takeover of Iraq in 2014.
Maj. Gen. Najm al-Jubouri, head of the Joint Operations Command’s Mosul operations, said in statements last week that his troops became in control over 90 percent of the "western axis", and continue to advance in central Mosul.
Several foreign big shots from the group have been killed in Arclight airstrikes and ground offensives in western Mosul over the past week.

Anbar’s western towns of Annah, Rawa and Qaem have been under Islamic State control since the group’s emergence in 2014. Thousands of civilians are said to be held as potential human shields, according to local officials.
Fighter jets from Iraqi and the allied U.S.-led coalition have occasionally pounded the turban group’s locations in the province. There has not been an officially-declared military campaign to free those regions, but the province’s military command launched a brief assault early January that managed to recapture some western villages before stopping again.
It is believed that the Iraqi government will not aim at western Anbar before its forces are done with retaking djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Islamic State’s biggest bastion in Iraq where security forces have been battling the group since mid October.

Many members of the Islamic State group started to flee different areas of the city of Mosul, due to the fierce battles launched by Iraqi security forces to recapture the city, after the announcement of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to start an offensive, in 19 February 2017, to retake the western side of Mosul.

[Ynet] Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", security forces announced that they had tossed in the slammer Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! a suspect in the liquidation of Mazen Fukha, a senior member of the military wing who was shot in the head near his home in Gazoo last month. The details of the suspect have not yet been submitted.
It was also reported that the investigation into the liquidation had come to an end, and its conclusions were conveyed to the Hamas leader in Gazoo, Yahya Sinwar.
[IsraelTimes] Army also confiscates machinery from workshop believed to have been used for making firearms.
IDF soldiers on Monday took down a stone memorial site for a Paleostinian teenager who was killed while stabbing an Israeli border guard in Hebron in 2015, the army said. The military said the memorial in the West Bank city was taken down as part of its campaign against "incitement" in Paleostinian society. It was not immediately clear when the memorial stone was put up.
"Some inciting materials were also seized during the operation," the army added without elaborating.
Also in Hebron, the army raided a workshop early Monday morning that it said was being used to illegally manufacture guns. The army seized seven pieces of machinery from the workshop, but did not find any weapons or gun parts inside, a military spokesperson said.
Common drill presses and lathes can be used to make what are known as Carlo-style submachine guns -- crude, inaccurate but deadly weapons that have been used in a number of terror attacks in the past two years.
Since 2016, the IDF has cracked down on the illegal weapons trade in the West Bank, raiding dozens of workshops and uncovering hundreds of guns.
Also Monday, police found a Carlo-style submachine gun in the home of a resident of the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem. The man was jugged Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! and was expected to appear before a judge later in the day on Monday, police said.
In Bethlehem, police arrested a group of five Paleostinians between the ages of 17 and 24 who are suspected of throwing Molotov cocktails at the Rachel’s Tomb holy site in Bethlehem, a police spokesperson said.
Elsewhere in the West Bank, the IDF arrested three Paleostinians suspected of taking part in so-called "popular terrorism" -- a catch-all term typically meaning rock throwing and violent demonstrations against security forces. One suspect was arrested in Sanur, near Jenin; another was picked up in Nilin, near Ramallah; and the last was detained in the Qalandiya refugee camp, the army said.
The declassified information was compiled from open-source materials ranging from videos to on-the-ground accounts, geospatial intelligence, U.S. signals intelligence, and physiological samples from attack victims.
The attack came from Su-22 fixed-wing aircraft out of the Shayrat airfield hit in subsequent U.S. strikes, the report says; the planes were in the Khan Shaykhun area for 20 minutes before the first report of a chemical attack came in, and left soon after. The administration also has "information that suggest that personnel historically associated with the chemical weapons program were at Shayrat airfield in late March preparing for this attack," and these people were there again on the day of the attack.
The U.S. has confirmed the agent used in the attack was sarin, from testing on the victims and from symptom reports as well as "leakage around the actual weapon that we think the sarin came from." Emergency personnel suffered exposure symptoms from coming into contact with contaminated victims.
A hospital treating attack victims was struck by conventional weapons about six hours after the chemical attack.
On hoax theories, the White House official said the "absolute massive data we have in all the different vehicles -- we've gotten it from open-source videos, to victim accounts, to imagery, to signals intelligence, is just too massive for really any -- any intelligence organization to fabricate in that short a period of time; we just think that's not a feasible explanation." Intel agencies have confirmed that videos distributed of the attack were filmed at the time and in the locations claimed.
