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.

There is the hard jihad of the sword, the soft jihad of the law, and the other jihad of rape.
[Breitbart] Seven men have been found guilty of grooming and raping underage girls aged 13 to 17, plying them with drink and drugs and abusing them at sex "parties" and in a van known as the "shag wagon".
The seven-man grooming gang was described as "predatory and cynical" by a judge as the jury announced their decision on Friday following a five-month trial at Oxford Crown Court.
The men, aged between 37 and 48, denied what prosecutors described as "sexual exploitation on a massive scale" ‐ but were found guilty of charges including multiple counts of rape, indecent assault, false imprisonment, and supplying drugs.
Reporting on the gang of what the BBC described as "Oxford men" was previously restricted, and two men involved in the trial still cannot be named for legal reasons.
The guilty men were named as Assad Hussain, 37, of Morrell Avenue; Moinul Islam, 41, of Wykeham Crescent; Raheem Ahmed, 40, of Starwort Path; Kamran Khan, 36, of Kersington Crescent; Kameer Iqbal, 39, of Dashwood Avenue; Alladitta Yousaf, 48, of Bodley Road; and Khalid Hussain, 38, of Ashurst Way.
Two others, Saboor Abdul and Haji Khan, were acquitted of all charges.
Six of the attackers were from Oxford and one from Bolton, Thames Valley Police said. Their five "vulnerable female victims" were aged 13 to 17 when they were abused from 1998 and 2005.
"Systematic and widespread grooming, that is what this case has revealed," remarked Judge Peter Ross, who presided over the trial.
During the trial, the court heard accounts from victims, who said they were pressured into sex, given drink and drugs, and taken to sex "parties". A number also described a van referred to as the "shag wagon" ‐ with a license plate ending ’SHG’ ‐ where attacks and even gang rapes occurred.
Describing the vehicle, a black Nissan Serena people carrier, one victim said: "They would pick the girls, have sex with them, and dump them.
"Everything happened in that Serena," she added, explaining how the men would "take it in turns" to have sex with her at the drug-fueled attacks.
The girls were also taken to a number of addresses around Oxford, as well as guesthouses, cars parks, lay-bys, and local parks for abuse.
"This has been a lengthy and difficult investigation undertaken by Thames Valley Police and the Elmore Team, which has taken place over a significant period of time," commented Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Mark Glover, of the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit.
"These convictions would not have been possible without the incredible bravery and ongoing support of the victims.
"This group of men subjected them to an almost unimaginable level of cruelty and sexual abuse over a significant period of time.
"To have come through that trauma, and to have been able to help and support us throughout our investigation is a testament to the strength of their characters.
"I know that nothing will be able to change the damage done to these women’s lives by this group of men, but I hope that these convictions will help them to move forward with their lives."
Adrian Foster, Chief Crown Prosecutor for Thames and Chiltern Crown Prosecution Service, added: "All of the men have failed to accept any responsibility for their actions, but the jury has carefully sifted and evaluated the evidence and delivered their verdicts."
The men will be sentenced at Oxford Crown Court in June.

Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) – Two Iraqi mayors were killed on Monday night in separate armed attacks believed to be carried out by Islamic State (IS) militants in Diyala province, government sources were quoted as saying.
Speaking to Alghad Press Tuesday, the sources said, “The mayor of Umm al-Henta village in northeastern Diyala was killed alongside his son after six armed men knocked the door of his house on Monday night.”

[Ynet] Police have tossed in the clink Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! 468 illegal aliens across Israel as part of a wide-scale operation.
More than 2,300 Border Guard officers took part in the operation. They also arrested 17 people suspected of providing illegal residents with accommodation, 24 people suspected of employing them and 14 people suspected of terrorist activity.
[IsraelTimes] Military unsure when armed Paleostinian infiltrators crossed border fence; nearby communities given all-clear
The Israel Defense Forces captured three armed Paleostinians on Tuesday morning after they crossed the Gazoo security fence and traveled approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) into Israeli territory, the army said.
The suspects were found in possession of knives and grenades, the military said. The tools that were apparently used to cut through the fence were also recovered.
A bomb disposal robot was brought to the area to disarm the grenades, police said.
"This was an incident that shouldn’t have happened. We are investigating it and will learn lessons from it," IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Ronen Manelis said in a statement, adding that the infiltration could have had dangerous consequences.
The suspects were jugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! outside the Tzeelim army base at 10:35 a.m., approximately an hour and a half after IDF soldiers first spotted signs of infiltration.
An IDF official said the army was unsure when the three men crossed the fence. The army was looking into reports of a suspicious incident that was spotted by military surveillance cameras in the middle of the night, though the official said it may be unrelated.
Paleostinians from the Gazoo Strip regularly try to cross into Israel, but they are generally spotted immediately by soldiers who monitor security cameras and are quickly captured on the Israeli side of the fence.
It was not immediately clear what went wrong on Tuesday. "The circumstances of the incident are being investigated," the army said.
The military handed the suspects over to the Shin Bet security service for questioning in order to determine their motives and any connections to terrorist groups.
While the weapons and the suspects’ efforts to remain undetected indicated ill intent, there have been cases of Gazoo residents entering Israel with weapons in order to be caught and sent to prison, rather than having to continue to live in the beleaguered coastal enclave.
One of the aspects of this case that military Sherlocks are trying to work out is why the suspects didn’t use the weapons at their disposal, even though they had ample opportunity to do so, the army official said.
For instance, at one point, the men were caught on surveillance camera walking by Kibbutz Tzeelim, which is located down the road from the army base. The gate to the community was open, but the men passed by it without entering.
The three suspects, whose names were not immediately released, are all members of the same family from the southern Gazoo city of Rafah, the official said.
After arresting the three men, the IDF notified Israeli communities in the area that the situation was normal and that there was no further need for their security personnel to be on high alert.
Earlier, the army announced that soldiers had spotted signs of infiltration from the southern Gazoo Strip and launched a manhunt.
[Free Beacon] U.S. military forces in the Middle East nearly bombed a group of Russian mercenaries working with pro-government forces in Syria for a second time, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis revealed Tuesday.
Mattis, speaking to reporters at the Pentagon, also defended the mass expulsion of Russian intelligence officers around the world in response to Moscow's use of a deadly nerve agent in attempting to assassinate a defector in Britain.
On the Syrian incident, Mattis said within the past week a group of Russian mercenaries moved across a river that was a line set up to deconflict U.S.-backed and Russian-backed rebel groups and into an area were Russians were not supposed to be operating.
"These were forces moving into more advanced positions, too close," he said.
After discussions between Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of the general staff, the Russian mercenary forces pulled back.
"So it looks like, this time, it was resolved through the deconfliction communication line," Mattis said. "It did not go into harm's way as it did there a month ago."
As many as 200 Russian mercenaries in Syria were killed Feb. 7 during a large-scale U.S. airstrike near the Euphrates River in Syria.

If we do hit Turks in a similar situation we should put out communications to a fake Russian general beforehand asking for (and getting) permisison. That would make life fun for everyone.

[Breitbart] Kurdish forces have tossed in the slammer Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! 41 Swedish citizens in Syria who left Sweden to fight for 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.... with five being described as high-level members of the terror organization.
Kurdish authorities fighting in Northern Syria revealed that they had captured Swedish citizens or permanent residents, telling Swedish media over the weekend: "Five of them have had key positions within IS. One of them has been responsible for propaganda," Expressen reports.
"We treat well those who we capture, even though they are bully boyz who have murdered innocent people," the Kurdish source told the newspaper.
One of the most famous Swedish Islamic turbans to travel to Syria was former Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... expert Michael Skråmos. A convert to Islam, Skråmos had participated in propaganda for the Islamic State and called on fellow jihadists to carry out attacks in Sweden. His last known location was the former Islamic State capital of Raqqa.
Magnus Ranstorp, one of Sweden’s leading terrorism experts, slammed the government’s slow response in dealing with radical Islamic jihadists who have travelled to the Middle East to fight for Islamic radical groups like the Islamic State.
"We have had a delay effect because we have not had legislation in place. There has been a low level of expertise throughout the chain, both in terms of legislation and prevention," Ranstorp said. So far, around 150 fighters have returned to Sweden from the Middle East and few have been prosecuted under Swedish law.
Swedish Interior Minister Morgan Johansson refused to strip the citizenship of Islamic State fighters last year and Minister for Culture and Democracy Alice Bah Kuhnke suggested the fighters be welcomed back and helped to integrate back into society.
Whether or not Sweden will take back Swedish prisoners from the Kurdish militias is still unknown, though some sources have claimed that low-level talks between the Kurds and the Swedish government are ongoing.
Nasrin Abdullah, a commander of the female branch of the YPG militia, confirmed the talks were happening and argued that Sweden should take back its citizens and bring them to justice.

[AnNahar] The largest convoy yet of rebel fighters and civilians evacuated from Eastern Ghouta arrived Tuesday in northwestern Syria, further emptying the onetime opposition bastion.
Government troops, backed by Russia and loyalist militia, launched a ferocious assault more than a month ago to retake the enclave on the outskirts of Damascus.
They have recaptured more than 90 percent of it and are draining the last rebel-held pockets through negotiated withdrawals brokered by Russia.
Two such deals have already seen thousands of rebels, their relatives and other civilians bused out of bombed-out Ghouta districts to Idlib, a northwestern province most of which still escapes government control.
The largest numbers have quit the towns of Arbin and Zamalka, and the adjacent district of Jobar, all controlled by the Faylaq al-Rahman Islamist faction.
The group reached a deal with Moscow on Friday and its implementation began the following morning with nearly 1,000 people boarding buses and leaving.
The numbers have grown steadily since, with the biggest convoy yet departing in the early hours of Tuesday with more than 6,700 people aboard.
They arrived Tuesday afternoon to the Qalaat al-Madiq area of central Hama province, a staging ground frequently used in such deals, AFP's correspondent there said.
That convoy brought the total number of evacuees from areas under Faylaq al-Rahman's control to 13,165 people.
The group's front man, Wael Alwan, has said as many as 30,000 people could be evacuated in all.
The evacuations were continuing on Tuesday, with more than a dozen buses entering the Faylaq-controlled pocket, said state news agency SANA.
Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad The Scourge of Hama... has used such evacuation agreements to recover swathes of territory since the uprising against his rule began seven years ago this month.
They have usually begun with the military encirclement of an area, followed by bombardment and a ground operation before a deal is reached.

They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front) are readying to retake the fortress town of Dart Izza’ in western Aleppo province from rival rebel group Jahbat Tahrir Souriya.
The town had been a Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham for several years before Islamist infighting broke out during early 2018 since which the strategic town has fallen into hands of Jahbat Tahrir Souriya.
Amid wave after wave of counter-attacks over the last fortnight, Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham has inched its way back towards Dart Izza, most recently taking the nearby hilltop of Tal Hammash as part of an assault that absolutely devastated Jahbat Tahrir Souriya’s ranks and has now brought the al-Qaeda affiliate to within striking range of the town.
At the present time, Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham is shelling the positions of enemy forces of Evil around Dart Izza with artillery and heavy machine gun fire. An infantry push may come within the next several hours.

[ALMASDARNEWS] A mass grave which contains scores of corpses has been unearthed today in the recently-restored suburb of Harasta.
Even though the exact number of bodies are not yet known, it is widely believed that those belong to Syrian Army servicemen killed in the battleground during the few past years.
The Syrian government has taken over Harasta suburb after murderous Moslems of Ahrar al-Sham ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham jihadi groups left their bastion to Syria’s north as per an evacuation deal.
However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... up to 300 murderous Moslems ‐ who were supposed to leave ‐ changed their minds and decided to stay after settling their status.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The recent uprising of al-Bukhamiss rustics from the Syrian Euphrates town of al-Mansura in southern Raqqa province has now seen a US-backed forces intelligence officer assassinated.
According to reports by EMN News, Saleh al-Muhimd, an intelligence officer within the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, was bumped off in the last 24 hours by unknown assailants near al-Mansura.
EMN News has released footage which reportedly shows the corpse of Saleh al-Muhimd after it was discovered. al-Masdar News cannot verify the legitimacy of the video ‐ neither in terms of who recorded it nor what it purports to show.
Several days ago, al-Bukhamiss rustics set fire to tires and blocked checkpoint areas controlled by US-backed forces in the town of al-Mansura; some reports said the rustics were armed, other sources claimed they were demonstrating peacefully only to be fired upon by US-backed forces.

Despite ISIS launching its own attacks against the Syrian Army and allied paramilitary groups across Deir Ezzor province, Syrian forces themselves continue to launch small search-and-destroy operations aimed at weeding-out Islamic State gathering areas.
