Troops Foil Boko Haram Attack In Borno, Kill Commander, Terrorists' Cameraman
[CHANNELSTV] Troops of the Nigerian military have foiled an attempted infiltration into Monguno town and Bitta community at the Lake Chad region by Boko Haram

/ISWAP turbans after scores of them, including a top commander, were neutralized in the midnight operations

The Senior Quiad Commander, identified as Ibn Khalid, was killed along with the terrorist cameraman in the fierce shootout that ensued in the Bitta community when troops of the Nigerian Army engaged the turbans while repelling the attack around 2:30 am.

According to the theater Commander Northeast joint taskforce operation Hadin Kai, Major General Abdulsalam Abubakar, seventeen other bad boyz were potted in different locations within Sambisa cutting across Madagali LGA in Adamawa and Kaga in Borno.

An unspecified number of the turbans escaped with varying degrees of injuries.

Maj. Gen. Abdulsalam said the troops, while pursuing the turbans as they retreated, observed traces of blood along the withdrawal routes.

Items such as 2 AK-47 magazines, 7.26 millimeter special ammunition, 1PKT belt, Rocket Propelled Grenade Bomb, and a Camcorder were recovered from the terrorists.

Monguno Town is the headquarters of Northern Borno at the fringes of the Lake Chad region. It serves as the headquarters of Sector 3 operations, Hadin Kai, and the Multinational Joint Task Force.

Although civil authorities have been restored in Monguno, with residents resuming their normal activities, communities within Lake Chad remain deserted as they are yet to be rebuilt and restored.

Various southern Yemeni separatist militias clash in Aden
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Armed festivities erupted on Thursday between factions affiliated with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) in the Sheikh Othman district of central Aden, leaving several people injured.

A local source in the city reported that festivities erupted between members of ''the Security Belt Forces,'' led by Nasser al-Dahshali, and other button men affiliated with the STC factions. The festivities occurred after the button men began opening fire during a wedding celebration for one of their relatives in the Abd al-Qawi neighborhood.

The source indicated that verbal altercations between the two parties quickly escalated into armed festivities, resulting in injuries on both sides. He added that ''the Security Belt Forces brought military reinforcements to the area and were able to control the situation, arresting two participants in the festivities after several main and side streets were closed.''

The festivities, in which light and medium weapons were used, sparked panic among the neighborhood's residents, amid the ongoing escalation and security tension in the area.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israeli man indicted for giving NIS 1.5 million to Palestinian Islamic Jihad
[IsraelTimes] State prosecutors file charges this morning against a man suspected of transferring over a million shekels to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group under the guise of donating to Gazan children, police announce.

Police arrested 36-year-old Tamra resident Ahmad Diab in a raid on his home in June. Officers seized NIS 70,000 ($21,000) and several hundred US dollars in the operation.

Diab began transferring funds to the Islamic Jihad in July 2024, after being contacted online by an operative in the terror group, according to the indictment. He had been active in collecting money for Gaza through online fundraisers since 2020 and presumably exploited crowdfunded donations to support the Gaza-based terror group.

Police say that Diab transferred approximately NIS 1.5 million ($450,000) to the Islamic Jihad via a middleman in the West Bank, who was in contact with the operative in the terror group. The defendant traveled several times to the West Bank to meet his contact in person, police say.

Diab is charged this morning with the security offenses of contact with a foreign agent and aiding a terrorist organization.

Two Paleo stab attacks in the West Bank neutralized

IDF: Palestinian suspect ‘neutralized’ after hurling stone, charging settlement with knife

[IsraelTimes] A Palestinian suspect armed with a knife was shot by a security guard at the entrance to the southern West Bank settlement of Migdal Oz a short while ago, the military says.

According to the IDF, the suspect hurled a stone at the entrance to the settlement before running toward it while brandishing a knife. The security guard opened fire on the Palestinian, “neutralizing” him, the army adds. No other injuries were caused.

Over 10,000 attend anti-war protest in northern Arab town under heavy police presence
[IsraelTimes] Over 10,000 people protest against the war in Gaza in the northern Arab town of Sakhnin, Haaretz reports.

Footage posted to social media shows a heavy police presence, but no arrests are reported. The demonstration comes a day after 24 people were arrested at an anti-war protest in Haifa.

Sakhnin mayor Mazen Ghanaim says in a speech at the protest that, “We and our people in Gaza are one nation. We demand full equality and civil rights, not more war.”

Former lawmaker Mohammad Barakeh, who heads the High Follow-up Committee, an Arab community umbrella organization, says the demonstration is “here to send a clear message against genocide, ethnic cleansing and starvation.”

He assails the police build-up at the protest as seeking to intimidate protesters.

“Why would police deploy so many officers for a normal demonstration?” he asks. “You won’t intimidate us.”

IDF shoots down Houthi missile; sirens triggered in West Bank, Dead Sea area
[IsraelTimes] No injuries or damage reported in attack, the second launched by the Iran-backed Yemen group in 3 days

A ballistic missile launched at Israel Friday night by the Iran-backed 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 group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates.

was intercepted by air defenses, the Israel Defense Forces said.

There were no reports of impacts or injuries in the attack, which triggered sirens in several settlements in the southern West Bank and communities near the Dead Sea in southern Israel.

The Houthis took responsibility for the attack, claiming to have aimed at a "sensitive target" in the Beersheba area, dozens of kilometers away from where sirens sounded.

It was the second ballistic missile the Houthis launched at Israel in the past three days, after a missile fired on Wednesday night fell short outside the country’s borders, according to military officials. The IDF identified that launch, but no sirens sounded in Israel because the missile did not pose a threat.

On Monday, Israeli Air Force drones struck Yemen’s Houthi-controlled Hodeida port in response to the Iran-backed group’s continued attacks on Israel.

The army said in a statement at the time that the Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s destroyed "military infrastructure of the Houthi terror regime" at the western Yemen port, after attempts were made by the Houthis to repair areas previously targeted by Israel in response to missile and drone attacks.

Monday’s sortie marked the thirteenth time Israel has attacked Yemen, located some 1,800 kilometers away.

The Houthis — whose slogan calls for "Death to America, Death to Israel, [and] a Curse on the Jews" — began attacking Israel and maritime traffic in November 2023, a month after the October 7 Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
massacre.

Traffic through the Red Sea, a critical waterway for the world’s oil and commodities, has markedly dropped due to the targeting of ships, which the Houthis claim are linked to Israel.

The group, which agreed to a deal with the US in May to stop targeting American ships, appeared to step up attacks on maritime traffic earlier this month, destroying two ships and killing several sailors.

The Houthis held their fire when a ceasefire was reached between Israel and Hamas in January 2025. By that point, they had fired over 40 ballistic missiles and dozens of attack drones and cruise missiles at Israel, including one that killed a civilian and maimed several others in Tel Aviv in July 2024, prompting Israel’s first strike in Yemen.

Strip, killing and injuring dozens of civilians, the Paleostinian Information Center (PIC) reported, citing local media sources.

According to local media sources, the occupation forces also continued today to detonate and bomb more homes and displace families in the Gaza Strip, further deepening the dire humanitarian crisis as the population grapples with worsening famine.

Israeli attacks have continued across the Gaza Strip, including an Israeli strike on a mosque in Gaza City that killed at least five civilians and injured 37 others as they were performing the Friday prayer.

Another Israeli strike killed two civilians and injured others in Gaza City's an-Nasr street.

Two separate strikes on Gaza City's at-Tuffah neighborhood killed two people and injured others.

The Israeli occupation army also bombed a tent sheltering a displaced family in the new al-Yarmouk street in Gaza City, killing four people, including journalist Adam Abu Rahbeed.

The bodies of four deaders were evacuated from the Muraj area of Rafah in southern Gaza, according to medical sources.

More people were martyred or injured in Israeli attacks on aid seekers near US-backed distribution points in southern and central Gaza.

The occupation army also launched attacks on other areas of the Gaza Strip last night and today, killing and wounding more civilians, including children and women.

Hamas counterintelligence chief killed amid continued airstrikes

[IsraelTimes] Meanwhile, the chief of Hamas’s counterintelligence was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the northern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the IDF and Shin Bet announced Friday.

The military said the “counterintelligence directorate in Hamas’s general security apparatus,” which Amjad Muhammad Hassan Sha’er headed, is tasked with “suppressing opposition to the regime, counter-espionage and securing senior Hamas officials and their assets in the Gaza Strip and outside of it.”

“The directorate is a vital part of the Hamas terror organization’s general security apparatus, which is responsible, among other things, for building an intelligence assessment that assists senior Hamas officials in decision-making and executing terror attacks against the State of Israel,” the IDF said.

The IDF said that in the past day, the Israeli Air Force hit dozens of targets across Gaza, including cells of operatives, buildings used by terror groups, tunnels, weapon caches and other infrastructure.

The strikes came as five divisions continue ground operations across the Strip. The military said that the 98th Division has expanded its operations in Gaza City.

Nearly 60,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants.

Roughly 1,200 people were killed during Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught that kicked off the ongoing conflict. Another 251 people were taken hostage, 50 of whom remain in Gaza captivity.

has risen to 122, including 83 children, according to the Paleostinian Ministry of Health, as the humanitarian crisis deepens under the ongoing Israeli siege.

Nine more Paleostinians died of starvation and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, the ministry reported Friday. Government officials described the situation as a ''systematic crime of starvation'' perpetrated by the Israeli occupation army against more than 2.4 million besieged civilians over the past 145 days.

The Gaza Government Media Office (GMO) called for an immediate end to the famine and demanded the urgent entry of humanitarian aid, including baby formula, 500 aid trucks, and 50 fuel trucks daily, to prevent further loss of life.

The GMO urged the international community to form an independent commission to investigate Israel's use of starvation as a weapon and prosecute those responsible.

The view from Israel:
As 9 more Gazans said to die of hunger, Israel approves resumption of aid airdrops

[IsraelTimes] MSF: Quarter of screened young children and breastfeeding mothers are malnourished; COGAT insists no widespread famine, but admits problems delivering food to certain Gaza areas

Gazoo’s Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
-run health ministry reported Friday that nine more Paleostinians, including two children, had died over the past 24 hours due to complications from severe malnutrition, further raising fears of a spiraling humanitarian crisis in the Strip.

In the past three weeks, at least 56 people died of causes related to malnutrition, including 35 adults and 22 children, the ministry said. That’s up from 10 children who died from such causes during all five previous months of 2025, according to the ministry.

Medical non-profit Doctors Without Borders said a quarter of all young children or breastfeeding women screened at its clinics in the Strip last month were malnourished.

For their part, Israeli authorities continued to maintain on Friday that while the humanitarian situation in Gaza is difficult, there is no widespread famine.

Still, in an apparent recognition of the dire situation, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities announced that it would begin allowing the UAE and Jordan to resume airdrops of humanitarian supplies into Gaza.

Last year, the US military, in coordination with Jordan, Egypt and La Belle France, airdropped tens of thousands of meals into northern Gaza, although a malfunction in March 2024 killed five Paleostinians. The method of aid distribution is far more limited in scope, while costing more money to conduct, leading many international organizations to argue that scaling up other, more traditional mechanisms would be a more effective way to address the humanitarian crisis.

COGAT said it continuously assesses the situation in Gaza and, alongside humanitarian aid groups, works to identify "pockets" facing food access challenges to assist those areas.

According to COGAT’s assessments, "there is no famine in the Gaza Strip," however, it acknowledged that "there are issues of access to food."

COGAT claimed that images being circulated by Hamas and media outlets of malnourished children in Gaza are not indicative of a widespread phenomenon: "There is no documented famine, contrary to the false claims Hamas spreads systematically."

The humanitarian situation in Gaza has tanked recently, COGAT assessed, mainly because the IDF is now in control of 75% of the Strip’s territory. This means that Gaza’s estimated 2 million population has been squeezed into just 25% of the Strip, which has led to several issues, especially concerning sanitation.

Additionally, actions taken by Israel to limit Hamas’s "takeover" of the humanitarian aid — such as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution sites — have harmed the terror group’s military wing, governance and its ties with the civilian population, according to COGAT’s assessments.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
these "achievements" have led to extreme population density, chaos and the collapse of public order in Gaza. As a result, "the humanitarian situation becomes far more complex," COGAT said.

Critics have long argued that the chaotic-like situation was inevitable because Israel has refused to establish a viable alternative to Hamas. Arab states have backed allowing the Paleostinian Authority to play a role in Gaza, even agreeing to join the effort to stabilize the Strip if Israel agreed to that condition. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, under pressure from far-right coalition partners who oppose the PA, has long refused, likening Ramallah to Hamas.

COGAT claimed Friday that there is no shortage of water entering Gaza, and that food and other supplies should now be reaching Paleostinians at an increased rate since the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
began transporting aid that had been mounting at the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings.

On Sunday, the UN did not collect any aid waiting at the Gaza crossings, leading Israel to publicly accuse the organization of refusing to cooperate. In the past two days, the UN resumed regular operations and collected 270 trucks’ worth of aid for distribution, according to COGAT figures.

The UN has repeatedly claimed that COGAT has refused its requests for collection and distribution authorization, and that dangerous and complex conditions inside Gaza made aid distribution very difficult.

UK, FRANCE, GERMANY: GAZA ’HUMANITARIAN CATASTROPHE’ MUST END
Meanwhile,
...back at the desert island, Bert climbed the cocoanut tree, looking for ships. He saw none. He looked in the other direction and saw Irene, vigorously scrubbing her backside...
on Friday, the leaders of Britannia, La Belle France and Germany said in a joint statement that the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza "must end now" and that "the time has come" for Israel’s war against Hamas in the Strip to end.

"We call on the Israeli government to immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid and urgently allow the UN and humanitarian NGOs to carry out their work in order to take action against starvation," said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in a joint statement.

"The most basic needs of the civilian population, including access to water and food, must be met without any further delay," they say. "Withholding essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable."

"Israel must uphold its obligations under international humanitarian law," they added.

The European leaders also stressed that "the time has come to end the war in Gaza."

"We urge all parties to bring an end to the conflict by reaching an immediate ceasefire," they add. "We stand ready to take further action to support an immediate ceasefire and a political process that leads to lasting security and peace for Israelis, Paleostinians and the entire region."

Hours later, US President Trump claimed that the US donated $60 billion for Gaza humanitarian aid, in an apparent reference to the $30 million that the US has allocated to the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

"We hope the money gets there because that money gets taken, the food gets taken," Trump told news hounds, adding that the US will still give more money.

He claimed that the majority of aid for Gaza comes from the US and that "no other country other than us gives anything."

As of early this year, the UAE was behind nearly half of the aid going into Gaza, while the US support was closer to one-third.

Israel strikes car in Baraashit, flies drones over Beirut and Dahieh — Naharnet

[NAHARNET] An Israeli dronezap on Friday targeted a Renault Rapid vehicle in the southern town of Baraashit, killing one person and wounding another, the Health Ministry said.

The Israeli army identified the slain man as Ali Mohammad Hassan Qassan, claiming that he was "the head of Hezbollah's manpower for the Bint Jbeil sector."

"Qassan had lately worked on attempts to rebuild Hezbollah's force in the Bint Jbeil area and we worked on recruiting members during the war," the Israeli armed added.

Israeli drones were meanwhile overflew Beirut and its southern suburbs.

The developments come after violent mostly peaceful evening strikes that targeted the Iqlim al-Tuffah heights and the area between Ansar and al-Zrariyeh in south 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?...
, with the Israeli army claiming those strikes hit "Hezbollah military sites, including arms depots and a rocket launchpad."

The escalation follows U.S. envoy Tom Barrack's latest visit to Lebanon, where he discussed the thorny issue of Hezbollah's disarmament amid Israel's continued occupation of five hills in south Lebanon and its daily liquidations against suspected Hezbollah operatives.

Earlier on Thursday, one person was killed in an Israeli dronezap on a pickup truck in the border town of Aita al-Shaab.

An Israeli drone also fired two missiles on a forest area in the outskirts of the southern town of Beit Leef, sparking a blaze.
