The policeman injured in the clash was treated at a Fort Worth hospital and subsequently released, which is excellent news.
CBS claimed that a “federal law enforcement source” had told the outlet a total of eight individuals were arrested, including many with body armor. The suspects reportedly launched fireworks as an apparent lure to draw law enforcement to the area where the shooting occurred.
The source told CBS News that early reports indicate that more than a dozen masked individuals dressed in black arrived at the Prairieland ICE detention facility late Friday night and vandalized vehicles and security cameras in the parking lot.
[Garowe] Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... defense forces officials said that seven senior 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.... (ISIS) leaders were killed during the latest phase of a military offensive in the Calmiskaad mountains of the Bari region, significantly weakening the group’s presence.
The offensive, known as Operation Hilaac, entered its fourth phase this week after Puntland Counter-Terrorism Forces cleared ISIS fighters from a 420-kilometre stretch of mountainous terrain in northeastern Somalia.
Officials named the bandidosbandidos bully boys killed in Phase 3 of the operation as:
Abdihakim Badiin (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... ), head of policing
Marwan Abdrizk (Tunisia), chief of imported muscle
Barow Abdi Mo'alim (Somalia), administrative head
Ahmed Salah Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa.

"The Hilaac operation, which started in December 2024, has so far wiped out nearly 85% of ISIS leadership in the region," a Puntland security source told Garowe Online, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered... because they were not authorised to speak to the media.
Authorities said Phase 4 of the operation is now underway, focusing on eliminating the remaining ISIS runaways and setting the stage for Operation Onkod, aimed at driving out al-Shabaab ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... bandidosbandidos bully boys from the Calmadow mountain range in the neighbouring Sanaag region.
Puntland forces also presented a captured ISIS fighter, identified as Hassan Atar, a Ottoman Turkish national apprehended during recent operations. He is currently in jug and being interrogated.
The oil-rich Puntland state has stepped up counter-terrorism efforts in recent months as ISIS and al-Shabaab compete for influence in the Bari region.

[ShabelleMedia] Somali security forces killed more than ten al-Shabaab ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... bandidosholy warriors in a series of coordinated operations across central and southern Somalia on Friday morning, the Ministry of Defence said.
According to a ministry spokesperson, the first attack took place at approximately 5:45 am local time when al-Shabaab bandidosholy warriors launched an assault on Gumarre, near Moqokori in the Hiiraan region. The Somali National Army (SNA), supported by local community fighters, responded swiftly and engaged the attackers in a two-hour battle, ultimately repelling the assault and securing the area.
"More than ten bandidosholy warriors were killed during the clash, and Gumarre is now fully under the control of our forces," the spokesperson said in a statement.
Simultaneously, joint operations by the SNA and Macawisley fighters targeted al-Shabaab hideouts in Guulane, Daaru-nicma, and Alkowsar in the Middle Shabelle region. In Guulane, two senior al-Shabaab commanders — Mohammed Adow and Ali Xabad — were neutralised. Both men were accused of orchestrating attacks against civilians and extorting communities under the guise of religious authority, officials said.
In a separate operation in Moora Godan, Raaga Ceelle district, security forces dismantled a facility used by the group to treat maimed fighters and coordinate future attacks.
Further south-west, SNA troops launched offensives in Baani, Lafaale, and Abal, near the town of Xudur in the Bakool region. The operations forced bandidosholy warriors to flee their hideouts as government forces advanced.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Chaos erupted at an ICE detention facility in Portland, Oregon after hundreds of protesters attempted to storm holding cells.
Demonstrators were seen being tackled to the ground as officers deployed smoke bombs and tear gas to try and control the crowd yesterday.
Dramatic footage posted on X by independent journalist Katie Daviscourt shows flares lighting up the night sky, as protesters clash with officers in riot gear who appeared to fire rubber bullets into the crowd.
The demonstration occurred on the 28th day that protesters have been occupying the ICE facility in protest over Donald Trump's immigration policies.
Daviscourt confirmed the protest was declared an unlawful assembly and that several arrests were made. Daily Mail has contacted Portland Police Department for details.
The mayhem Friday broke out just hours after the President signed his so-called 'big, beautiful bill' into law - a sweeping $150 billion package that boosts funding for the border wall, ICE enforcement and deportations, while slashing Medicaid.
In downtown Portland, protesters staged a dramatic ‘die-in’ at Pioneer Courthouse Square, two miles from the ICE facility, to protest the brutal Medicaid cuts tucked inside Trump’s bill.
Those brutal cuts reportedly cut off illegal aliens and able-bodied men who refuse to go to work.
'They don't need more money and they're taking money away from things that we really actually need,' protester Mary Vanzant told local CBS affiliate KOIN 6 News.
[LI] Hamas and UNRWA protecting their grift
Two American aid workers were wounded when a terrorist threw a grenade at a food distribution center in Gaza. The aid workers belonged to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a newly established U.S.-backed private food distribution organization.
"Two U.S. aid workers with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) were injured in a grenade attack during a food distribution event in Gaza, the organization said on Saturday," the Israel TV channel i24NEWS reported. "The Americans, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries, are in stable condition and receiving medical treatment."

[IsraelTimes] PM says world must ‘stand up and condemn’ Hamas for ‘terror attack,’ urges UN to end boycott and ‘instead work in partnership’ to feed Gazans; IDF: Civilians were in area at time of attack
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Hamas on Saturday for a grenade attack that injured two American aid workers employed by the Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and condemned the incident as a “terror attack.”
The US also blamed Hamas for the attack, saying it “lays bare the depravity” of the terror organization.
Early Saturday, GHF reported that two American aid workers were wounded when assailants threw two hand grenades at a distribution site in southern Gaza, blaming the attack on “hostile action by Hamas.” The organization said the explosive devices had been packed with ball bearings.
The IDF later confirmed that terror operatives threw grenades at a distribution center in Rafah, accusing “terror groups in Gaza” of continuing to sabotage humanitarian efforts, though without naming Hamas directly.
Civilians were still present in the area at the time of the attack, the Israeli military said, condemning the attack.
Netanyahu said later Saturday, in a statement from his office, that he wished to extend “a speedy recovery to the staff of the American aid foundation who were injured today in the terror attack carried out by Hamas terrorists.”
Netanyahu praised the GHF staff, saying they were “doing important work, and I thank them and [US] President [Donald] Trump for their support.”
He added: “The entire world must stand up and condemn this grave incident, which once again exposes the brutality of Hamas. The United Nations must stop opposing the foundation’s operations and instead work in partnership to ensure it can continue its mission safely for the benefit of Gaza’s residents.”
The GHF said in a statement that “the attack – which preliminary information indicates was carried out by two assailants who threw two grenades at the Americans – occurred at the conclusion of an otherwise successful distribution in which thousands of Gazans safely received food.”
The foundation has previously accused Hamas of killing at least eight of the agency’s Palestinian staffers.
Reacting to the alleged Hamas attack, US State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said Saturday that, “This act of violence against the people actually bringing relief to Gazans lays bare the depravity of Hamas.”
“GHF has contributed over 62 MILLION MEALS – nothing will stop these courageous aid workers,” she wrote on X. “We are praying for the rapid recovery of the injured Americans.”
Israel has accused Hamas of hijacking aid deliveries by other humanitarian groups. The GHF, which in addition to aid workers employs private US military contractors to protect its distribution sites, says that since starting operations in May it has delivered supplies to Palestinians, while other humanitarian groups had “nearly all of their aid looted.”
The GHF bypasses traditional aid channels, including the United Nations, which says the US-based organization is neither impartial nor neutral, and forces Gazans to walk long distances to reach the aid.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Israel hid information about Iran hitting five military facilities, including a major airbase, The Daily Telegraph reported. Israel is not required to inform her curious enemies of material information
In total, Iran struck more than 40 Israeli infrastructure facilities during the 12-day conflict.
As stated earlier, the full consequences of Iran's strikes on Israel and Israel's strikes on Iran have yet to be revealed, as both sides are hiding the military damage they suffered. Hence the pointlessness of comparing damage based only on published videos of strikes and statements by the parties. Some of the damage simply was not included in the videos or statements.
In fact, if satellite images from the war clearly showed traces of attacks on a number of airbases, they were not included in the videos and were not officially commented on.
PS. Yesterday, Iran received the first Chinese J-10C fighter with long-range PL-15 missiles. A total of 40 aircraft of this type will be purchased from the Chinese.
PS2. The IAEA spy mission officially leaves Iran after the law was adopted. She was not allowed into the facilities.
Satellite data said to reveal strikes on a number of bases, including an intelligence base and an airbase; number of successful interceptions decreased daily for first 8 days
Iranian ballistic missiles struck five IDF bases during the 12-day war with Israel last month, The Telegraph reported on Saturday for the first time, citing satellite data shared by Oregon State University.
Details of strikes on IDF bases and other sensitive locations are prevented from being published in Israel due to military censorship rules, as authorities argue that they could be used by Iran to better calibrate its missiles.
But according to the British news outlet, targeted bases included the Tel Nof airbase, the Glilot intelligence base, and the Zipporit armor and weapons production base.
The report was based on radar data obtained by The Telegraph from Oregon State University, which tracks bomb damage in war zones via satellites.
According to the report, five IDF bases were struck with a total of six rockets during the war between Israel and Iran, launched by Israel on June 13 to dismantle the Islamic Republic’s nuclear and missile programs.
In addition to the six rockets said to have struck military bases, 36 other missiles impacted inside Israel, having evaded interception by Israeli and S air defenses, killing 28 people, damaging 2,305 homes in 240 buildings, along with two universities and a hospital, and leaving over 13,000 Israelis displaced.
In total, Iran launched over 500 ballistic missiles at Israel throughout the 12-day war, The Islamic Republic also launched around 1,100 drones, of which only one impacted inside Israel.
While the overall interception success rate was high, the report found that an increasing number of missiles managed to slip through defense systems each day during the first eight days of the war.
All in all, The Telegraph said its data analysis indicated that by day seven of the war, around 16 percent of missiles were slipping through Israeli and US air defense systems.
The reason for the drop in interceptions was unclear, The Telegraph said, but it noted that Israel may have been choosing to save its interceptor missiles for when they were most needed.
The Wall Street Journal had reported during the war that Israel was running low on its Arrow interceptor missiles, and that it would need to start picking and choosing what to intercept and what to let through. The IDF denied the report, however, saying that it had prepared ahead of time with enough to handle the threat.
Another reason suggested by The Telegraph for the decline in interceptions was the type of missiles Iran was choosing to fire. It posited that these may have been more sophisticated, and therefore harder to shoot down.
There was at least one confirmed instance, on June 19, of Iran using a cluster bomb warhead to attack Israel, which dropped around 20 smaller munitions at a radius of around 8 kilometers (5 miles). One of the small munitions, with an explosive warhead of around 2.5 kilograms, struck a home in the central town of Azor, causing damage equivalent to that of a small rocket.
The IDF, when asked by the Telegraph about the reported impacts inside military facilities, said that it would not comment on the matter.
“What we can say is that all relevant units maintained functional continuity throughout the operation,” it said.
