[NYPOST] Three MS-13 migrants colonists who allegedly terrorized Nassau County were busted in a joint operation between ICE, local police and the FBI — and charged last week with a spate of violent mostly peaceful crimes including 14 counts of attempted murder and 49 counts of assault, The Post has learned.
The arrests of the baby-faced gangbangers — two of whom sources say crossed into the US illegally during the Biden administration — was confirmed by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who vowed to keep supporting the feds in their immigration crackdown.
''As a result of a joint operation between the Nassau County Police Department and ICE, three alleged dangerous gang members charged with murder and other serious crimes were apprehended and are now incarcerated pending trial or deportation, making us an even safer county and region,'' Blakeman told The Post in a statement.
''We will continue work with our federal and local partners to ensure we remain the safest county in America.''
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged immigration detainers against all three gang members, sources said.
None of the migrants colonists taken into police custody are older than 21, and between the three of them, they face the attempted murder and assault raps — along with 7 weapon possession charges, according to the sources.
Two of the three gang members entered the US illegally during the Biden administration.
In a departure from the Big Apple's sanctuary city policies — which tie the hands of federal immigration authorities seeking to detain and deport illegal immigrants colonists who commit crimes — Nassau County has pledged to work with ICE to get violent mostly peaceful criminal migrants colonists off the streets.
Since February, Nassau County has detained more than 1,400 illegal immigrants colonists for ICE at Nassau County Correctional Center in partnership with the feds, even setting aside 50 cells in the facility specifically to hold migrants colonists awaiting deportation, Blakeman announced earlier this year.

Remember the Democrats, Liberals and Socialists clearly are against such successes.
They have shown their intent by trying to stop these arrests, convictions or deportations. They have continued to violently protest, inflict harm on Law Enforcement, tired multiple assassination attempts, rigged elections, committed arson, and used their installed political Puppet Judges to circumvent US Law. All to protect scum like this, that they invited into our country.
[NYPOST] An undocumented Democrat was arrested in South Dakota while transporting $12 million in methamphetamine — the largest single seizure of the drug in the state highway patrol's history, Gov. Larry Rhoden announced on Monday.
The 42-year-old man, who was not identified, was pulled over during a traffic stop by the South Dakota Highway Patrol while he was speeding on Interstate 90 in Sturgis, roughly 100 miles west of the Wyoming border, according to a blurb from the governor's office.
Turns out the driver was carting a staggering 207 pounds of crystal meth in his vehicle — roughly the same weight of an adult black bear.
Authorities emptied out his vehicle and recovered the stash, which has a street value of approximately $12 million, according to the release.
The suspect was ''found to be a non-citizen and is now in immigration proceedings,'' according to the release. His country of origin and where he was detained are unclear.

[Regnum] The Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis), which controls northern Yemen, attacked "strategic" objects in Israel with several drones. This was stated by the movement's leaders.
The Houthis said in a statement that they launched six attack UAVs that attacked four strategic targets in the Haifa, Negev, Eilat and Beersheba areas of the occupied Palestinian territory.
“All intended targets were successfully hit,” the movement assured.
To be more specific, the Houthi drones precisely hit whatever it was that the IDF used to shoot them down, which counts as an accomplishment of some sort.
Earlier, on July 26, the Houthis launched hypersonic missile and drone strikes against four targets in Israel.
[IsraelTimes] A drone launched from Yemen at Israel was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force off the coast of Eilat a short while ago, the military says.
No sirens sounded “according to protocol,” the IDF says, as the drone did not pose a threat to civilians.
[FoxNews] The transfer comes ahead of 25% tariffs on Mexican goods imposed by President Trump
Mexico is handing over 26 top cartel leaders to the United States this week in a deal with the Trump administration.
The cartel figures were scheduled to fly to the U.S. on Tuesday.
"Today is the latest example of the Trump administration's historic efforts to dismantle cartels and foreign terrorist organizations," Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News Digital. "These 26 men have all played a role in bringing violence and drugs to American shores -- under this Department of Justice, they will face severe consequences for their crimes against this country. We are grateful to President Sheinbaum and the Mexican government for their collaboration in this matter."
Abigael González Valencia, a leader of the "Los Cuinis," cartel, which is aligned with the notorious Jalisco New Generation cartel (CJNG) and Roberto Salazar, who is accused of participating in the 2008 killing of a Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy, are among those being handed over to the U.S.
The Trump administration has classified the CJNG as a terrorist organization.
Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office and Security Ministry confirmed the men were being handed over, saying the deal was made after the U.S. Justice Department said it wouldn’t seek the death penalty for any of the men.
The deal comes amid the Trump administration’s focus on border security and attempt to crack down on Mexican cartels that send drugs across the border.
"President Trump’s top priority is protecting the homeland, which is why he took the bold step to designate several cartels and gangs as foreign terrorist organizations," deputy White House press secretary Anna Kelly previously said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Friday said the U.S. military would not be entering Mexican territory following reports that Washington could take action to combat the cartels.
"We co-operate, we collaborate, but there is not going to be an invasion," she said. "It’s off the table, absolutely off the table."
President Donald Trump has also reportedly secretly authorized U.S. military force against cartels in Latin America designated by the U.S. as terrorist organizations, which would allow U.S. forces to engage with them.
It also comes ahead of 25% tariffs on Mexican goods coming into the U.S. imposed by Trump.
Trump spoke with Sheinbaum, who has been more aggressive than the last president about going after cartels, and told her he would delay 30% tariffs on the country for 90 days for negotiations.
Mexico also extradited 29 cartel leaders in February, including Rafael Caro Quintero, who prosecutors say was behind the torture and murder of a DEA agent in 1985.
Citing an unnamed source, The Associated Press said the leaders were flown from Mexico to the U.S. on Tuesday as part of an ongoing operation.
The media outlet said it confirmed the extraditions with Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office and Security Ministry.
The transfers, according to The AP, were conducted following assurances from the U.S. Department of Justice that the death penalty would not be sought in any of the cases.
The ministry released photos showing the embassy’s entrance splattered with red paint and its front door smashed.
Local security authorities responded to the incident, and the three suspects were arrested by Dutch police, according to the ministry.
Since the Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... terror group’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, there has been a wave of cases of vandalism on Jewish and Israeli sites abroad, amid a surge of anti-Israel and pro-Paleostinian activities protesting Israel’s subsequent war against Hamas in the Gazoo

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 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.

PARIS AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER FIRED AFTER RADIOS ‘FREE PALESTINE’ TO EL AL PILOTS JUST AFTER TAKEOFF
An air traffic controller at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Gay Paree went on the radio and broadcast "Free Paleostine" to the pilots of an El Al flight moments after takeoff Monday, Israel’s flagship carrier said on Tuesday.
El Al, whose Gay Paree offices were vandalized last week, said it has been in contact with Israel’s Civil Aviation Authority over the "unprofessional and inappropriate" radio incident.
Any deviation from standard procedures could lead to disaster during takeoff, the airline said.
The Civil Aviation Authority was in contact with its French counterparts, according to El Al.
"El Al will continue to fly around the world with the Israeli flag proudly on the aircraft’s tail, while ensuring professionalism and the safety and security of passengers and crew," the airline added.
French Transportation Minister Philippe Tabarot later announced the air traffic controller’s indefinite suspension and said disciplinary action would be taken.
The Venice newspaper Il Gazzettino reports that the man and the woman, American tourists in the Italian city for a brief vacation, belong to the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic group and were therefore very recognizable as Jewish, with the man sporting a kippa and a long beard. The woman is five months pregnant.
According to Il Gazzettino, which quotes anonymous witnesses, the tourists were taking a walk near the iconic Rialto Bridge in the city center late Saturday night, when three men began harassing them, unprovoked. The men threw water at the couple and spat on them, before one of the aggressors freed his large dog from the leash and set the dog on the husband. The dog tried to attack him, but bit into the cellphone in his pants’ pocket.
The couple then managed to flee and reached a kosher restaurant owned by a member of the local Chabad community, where they had eaten earlier. The couple did not report the attack to the authorities and left the city to fly back to America a few hours later, but according to Il Gazzettino, other people from the Jewish community alerted the police, which opened an investigation.
“It matters little whether the victims are from Chabad or not,” Sion Yehiel Banin Rahamim, the owner of the Gam Gam restaurant, tells the newspaper. “It’s unfortunate that such serious attacks happen in our city, which I have always considered, and still consider, tolerant and intelligent. The attack was in no way provoked, and passersby acted as if nothing had happened.”

[HotAir] So the story broke that a man associated with something called the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation (DAMPL) had been arrested for a series of 'vandalism acts' last month, and faced charges in a Boston courthouse yesterday.
For the record, his name is not 'Bill Smith,' either.
...Jermaiah Yusuf Sawaqed, 25, of Everett, was arrested Thursday and appeared in Boston Municipal Court.
...On July 23, white paint was poured on the State House gate, and concrete columns were spray-painted. Video from the scene showed paint splattered on a concrete pillar and the State House steps. The suspect also appeared to attempt to write the words "Divest" or "Divert" on a concrete pillar.
The suspect, later identified as Sawaqed, fled into the Boston Common, which prompted a search with members of the FBI and the Massachusetts State Police.
...A trooper observed "white paint footprints" believed to have been left by Sawaqed as he fled and two suspicious objects, which were believed to be homemade improvised explosive devices, according to a criminal complaint.
It turns out he had another in his car when cops finally found him and it. Classically, it's not his car. He's driving his mummy's Subaru.
...When he was taken into custody last week, officials searched a vehicle belonging to the suspect's mother that Sawaqed used and found traces of white paint and a device consistent with those discovered on the Boston Common. Several DAMPL fliers and two empty gasoline cans were also found.
They arrested her, too.
HE'S A GOOD BOY
...Sawaqed's mother, Naila Dahabrah, said her son is innocent and is being punished for his views on Gaza.
"He does not belong to any group. They have no evidence," she said.
According to court documents, Dahabrah was arrested for assault and battery on a police officer after she spat in the face of a detective who was serving a search warrant last week.
In any event, these Palestinian turds are a dime a keffiyah wrapped dozen, except for the exciting news about the IEDs. Boston police and investigators hadn't bothered to release that information when word of the vandalism at the statehouse first broke.
It sort of reminds me of Katie Hopkins and that famous 'Just a bomb in a bin' line of hers from the grenade in the wastebasket outside the police station in Sweden. Like, how can you be so sanguine, or not tell anyone about it at all, as local law enforcement?
Some surly types think it might have been nice to know there was a mad bomber running around the city prior to the woke patrol picking him up and taking him into custody.
According to authorities, this tiny wanna-be terrorist cell only launched this past spring and has already caused some nasty damage. This particular scummy character was front and central in videos for the nascent group, and already on the authorities' radar.
...Authorities allege Sawaqed has ties to a group known as the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation (DAMPL), described in court documents as “an extreme anti-Zionist organization that publicly advocates for criminal ‘direct action’ against entities it associates with Israel, capitalism, and imperialism.” The group launched in the spring and includes a network of anti-Israel activists who operate in the U.S. and abroad, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Per Sawaqed’s criminal complaint, DAMPL has taken credit for several acts of vandalism in Massachusetts, including at the State House, the George Washington statue in the Public Garden, and the Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Authorities further allege Sawaqed “has been identified as a central and active participant in a series of organized, politically motivated acts of vandalism targeting prominent public institutions.”
...According to the complaint, investigators used social media and phone records to link Sawaqed to an Instagram account that claimed responsibility for the State House vandalism through a post that read, “This morning, the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation targeted the Massachusetts State House with paint mixed with feces and lit homemade flars [sic] on its gates…”
His group,DAMPL, seems ‘mostly peaceful’ with their call for “death to Israel” and violent destruction at MIT.🤢🤮 pic.twitter.com/kniemLEcAc
According to the news report, Mama’s Little Angel was being watched by the Joint Terrorism Task Force when he came up, with this bright idea. One wonders whether he came in from the Moslem side or from Antifa….
[IsraelTimes] Montreal police say they have arrested a 24-year-old man on suspicion of assaulting a Jewish man in front of his daughters last week.
The investigation “is still ongoing,” the suspect is being questioned, and a charge sheet will be filed to prosecutors, the police statement says, without identifying him.
A video circulating on social media showed part of the attack — which occurred in the borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension — beginning with the assailant straddling the man and beating him.
The assailant then picked up some groceries and threw what appeared to be a kippa into a nearby splash pad area.
The video did not show the moments leading up to the attack.
According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the man — who was dressed in typical ultra-Orthodox attire — suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
[NYPOST] Two illegal-migrant sibling ''monsters'' sought in a murderous rampage at a patron-saint festival in Mexico were recently nabbed by ICE agents in Texas — with one appearing to smirk in his mug shot.
The feds collared accused killer Mexican brothers Pedro Luis Ortiz Mendez, 30, and Jose Vicente Ortiz Mendez, 29, in Arlington, Texas, on July 31, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Their mugshots featured them wearing ratty white t-shirts covered in paint splatters — and Pedro flashed an apparent slight smirk.
''From foreign runaways, gang members, and terrorists, ICE is getting the worst of the worst off our street and out of country,'' DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Post.
The brothers are suspected of killing two people at a patron-saint festival in San Luis Potosi in central Mexico, north of Guanajuato, on May 24, 2024. One of the slain victims was shot, and the other was attacked with a machete, according to DHS.
The brothers snuck across the border undetected after the killings, DHS said.
Mexico's narco mobs worship several patron saints, with the narcos often leaving the severed heads of their victims at improvised shrines.
It is not clear if the brothers were tied to the cartels.
The cartels often carry out their gruesome murders in the name of Santa Muerte — a cross between the Grim Reaper and the Virgin of Guadeloupe, said Robert Almonte, a Texas-based security consultant and former deputy chief of the El Paso Police Department who specialized in narcotics, previously to The Post.
''The narcos and the gangs all believe in the power of prayer,'' Almonte said at the time.
''They believe that the saints will protect them no matter what they do — and that's dangerous because it emboldens the traffickers who truly believe they can get away with murder and still go to heaven.''
While 70% of the migrants colonists nabbed by ICE during President Trump's recent mass deportation sweeps are either charged or convicted in the US, those who are tied to foreign crimes aren't included in that statistic, McLaughlin said.
McLaughlin slammed the media for labeling such foreign targets as ''non-criminals'' in some cases.

Remember the Democrats, Liberals and Socialists clearly are against such successes.
They have shown their intent by trying to stop these arrests, convictions or deportations. They have continued to violently protest, inflict harm on Law Enforcement, tired multiple assassination attempts, rigged elections, committed arson, and used their installed political Puppet Judges to circumvent US Law. All to protect scum like this, that they invited into our country.
[Rudaw] and Kurdish security forces have arrested nearly a dozen "terrorists" in a series of coordinated operations targeting remnants of the 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) across Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, the Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Service (ICTS) reported on Tuesday.
In a statement on X, the ICTS noted, "Our heroes have carried out major security operations" based on precise intelligence, resulting in "the arrest of 11 terrorist elements" and the "clearing and destruction of multiple tunnels, caves, and hideouts used by the group."
The arrests took place in several provinces, the ICTS explained, detailing that five individuals were apprehended in Iraq’s northern Nineveh province, while four others were arrested in different areas of Kirkuk.
In the Kurdistan Region, the ICTS confirmed that a "terrorist" was arrested in the Region’s eastern Sulaimani province "in cooperation with the Kurdistan Region Asayish Directorate."
Another ISIS member was reportedly captured in central Iraq’s Salahaddin province, the ICTS added, noting that in coordination with the Sulaimani Asayish, "We were able to inspect and clear 13 hideouts in Salahaddin through multiple missions.
"We also destroyed three tunnels, found various ammunition, and detonated landmines and improvised bombs [IEDs] in the same province."
The Iraqi counter-terrorism forces characterized the efforts are "part of the continuous national effort to hunt down the remnants of ISIS terrorist gangs," emphasizing that all operations were conducted with full legal backing and per "warrants issued by the Iraqi judiciary, which plays a fundamental role in complementing the efforts of the security agencies."
ISIS seized large swaths of territory in Iraq in 2014 but was declared territorially defeated by the Iraqi army in 2017. However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... the group continues to pose a threat in parts of the country through ambushes, kidnappings, and assassinations - particularly in areas disputed between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
These ongoing security challenges come as Erbil and Baghdad have stepped up joint efforts to close security gaps and improve coordination.
In a separate incident, the Sulaimani Asayish announced on Wednesday that a "terrorist cell" had been dismantled before it could carry out a major attack. The cell comprised "two terrorists," who were planning to detonate a civil defense center in Sulaimani city, the Kurdish security forces said, noting that the suspects had confessed to "planning to poison the center's drinking water supply and then detonate one of its vehicles."
The Asayish added that the arrested individuals "are now undergoing interrogation under Article 2 of the Counter-Terrorism Law," which defines a wide range of acts as terrorist crimes, from forming hard boy groups and using explosives to providing aid or training to terrorists.
[IsraelTimes] Israel continued to carry out Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s across Gaza on Tuesday, as troops briefly came under mortar fire, and Paleostinian media reported that Israeli special forces kidnapped one Gazook man to Israel from the central city of Deir al-Balah.
Innocent people are “arrested”. Jihadis are “captured”. Or “killed” — that’s also a good choice.
At the same time, Western countries and the UAE airdropped some 97 tons of food into the enclave, following some 300 trucks that entered on Monday over land, and Spain said it had evacuated dozens of sick or maimed children from the territory over the past several months.
Separately, an Israeli dronezap on central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah on Monday targeted several Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... operatives, the military said. No further details were given by the IDF on the strike. Paleostinian media reported a strike in Deir al-Balah on Monday night that killed five people.
Gazook media reported Tuesday that on Monday, Israeli special forces driving a Volkswagen minibus kidnapped a Paleostinian, said to be named Ismail Abd al-Karim Khattab from Deir al-Balah, taking him toward the Kissufim corridor area, where Israeli forces are deployed, and then into Israel. As the Israeli forces returned, intensive strikes were carried out in Deir al-Balah, according to the reports, which were unconfirmed and lacked additional details.
It sounds like he was quickly but thoroughly questioned, and the resulting information informed the IDF unit’s next steps.
Separately, troops of the 188th Armored Brigade came under mortar fire in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis and directed an Israeli Air Force drone to hit a building from which the projectiles were launched, the IDF said, publishing footage showing the latter strike.
The Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... -run Gaza Health Ministry said Tuesday that 89 Paleostinians had been killed by Israeli fire in the past 24 hours.
Witnesses and medics said Israeli bombardments overnight killed seven people in two houses in Gaza City’s Zeitoun suburb and another four in an apartment building in the city center.
In the south of Gaza, five people, including a couple and their child, were killed by an Israeli airstrike on a house in the city of Khan Younis and four others by a strike on a tent encampment in nearby coastal Mawasi, medics said.
The IDF said it was looking into the reports of the latest bombardments and that its forces were taking precautions to mitigate civilian harm.
HAMAS AUTHORITIES SAY FIVE MORE DEAD FROM MALNUTRITION
The ministry also reported that five people, including two children, had died of starvation and malnutrition in the Strip over the previous 24 hours.
Prove it. The odds are high that those who died had genetic disorders, just like the ones they claimed were starved to death before.
The new deaths raised the number of deaths from the same causes to 227, including 103 children, since the war started, according to the agency.
Again, prove it.
Israel said Tuesday that Hamas has been lying about Paleostinian deaths from malnutrition, and that most of those verified to have died — a fraction of the number reported — had preexisting medical conditions that significantly led to their deaths. Israel denies the allegations of widespread starvation and has said it makes efforts to allow sufficient aid into Gaza.
More than sufficient, given how many of them are morbidly obese.
But facing heavy international pressure, the government recently greatly increased the flow of supplies, after having barred aid altogether for 11 weeks between March and May. Aircraft from the United Arab Emirates, Germany, Belgium, La Belle France, and Italia airdropped 97 pallets of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, the IDF said, noting that each pallet contains around one ton of food.
Denmark’s foreign minister told news hounds the Scandinavian nation will also send a plane to airdrop aid to Gaza soon.
Since July 26, when Israel adopted a new policy to let more aid into the Strip, over 1,000 humanitarian aid packages have been airdropped in the Gaza Strip by at least 12 countries, including Israel, according to the military.
”Whatevs. Waste your money, see if we care.”
The packages the IDF airdropped were supplied by international aid groups. But airdrops are only able to deliver a small fraction of what can enter Gaza by land. They also pose safety risks for the civilians who can be hit by the packages from above.
270 TRUCKS ENTER GAZA ON MONDAY
Amid the airdrops, some 300 trucks carrying humanitarian aid — about half of what the UN says must be distributed each day — entered the Gaza Strip on Monday through the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said.
According to COGAT, over 270 trucks worth of aid were collected by the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... and other international organizations to be distributed.
"Additionally, tankers of UN fuel entered for the operation of essential humanitarian systems," COGAT added.
Spain has evacuated 44 maimed or ill children from war-torn Gaza along with about 100 of their relatives over the past several months, the Spanish government said Tuesday. Four separate evacuation missions were carried out in coordination with international organizations and allied nations, Spain’s migration ministry, which led the operations, said in a statement. The children and their families have been relocated across Spain to receive medical treatment, it added.
Those brought to Spain will be eligible to apply for asylum.
And we wish you full joy of them, though we feel sorry for your females and children who’re already being treated like uncovered meat.
Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s government has been among the most vocal critics in the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... of Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza.
“The humanitarian aid is arming and funding Hamas,” Saada tells the Kan public broadcaster in a radio interview. “Has anybody checked the airdrops? It’s clear to everyone that they contain ammunition.”
He adds that Israel must occupy the entire Strip because “only that way does one win a war.”
But the option hasn’t been seriously considered by Donald Trump’s administration, US officials and other sources say, even as he voices concern over starvation in Gaza amid Israel’s nearly two-year-old military campaign against Hamas.
One source says it is seen as an unrealistic option because airdrops would not come close to meeting the needs of 2.1 million Palestinians.
This comes even as close US allies, including Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Britain, have carried out airdrops of assistance to Gaza.
Humanitarian aid groups have long been critical of airdrops of aid, calling them more symbolic than truly effective when the scale of the need in Gaza requires open land routes for large amounts of aid to enter the enclave.
The heavy packages could also present a danger to civilians on the ground rushing toward the parachuting aid.
“It just hasn’t been part of the discussions,” says one US official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal Trump administration deliberations.
A source familiar with the issue says: “It hasn’t been a serious consideration because it’s not really a serious option at this moment.”
Some US officials war-gamed the option and found “it’s absolutely unrealistic,” says the source familiar with the matter. The source says it is unknown how “big a lift capacity” could be managed even if the Israelis approved US use of the airspace.
A diplomatic source, speaking on condition of anonymity, says he is unaware of any US interest in participating in the airdrop effort.
Another official in a US-allied country which is taking part in the airdrops says there have been no conversations with the United States about Washington taking part in the effort.
The official adds that the United States is not providing logistical support for the airdrops being carried out by other countries.
Asked for comment, a White House official says the administration is open to “creative solutions” to the issue.
“President Trump has called for creative solutions ‘to help the Palestinians’ in Gaza. We welcome any effective effort that delivers food to Gazans and keeps it out of the hands of Hamas,” the White House official says.
[NYPOST] A group of five armed bad boyz were potted after they were caught posing as members of the World Central Kitchen humanitarian group in central Gazoo

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.

Video from Deir al-Balah, one of the few cities largely spared by the 21-month Mideast war, shows a group of men in bright vests traveling in a vehicle marked with the WCK's emblem.
''The forces of Evil deliberately attached the [WCK] emblem and wore yellow vests in an attempt to disguise their activities and avoid being targeted, cynically exploiting the status and trust given to aid organizations,'' the Israel Defense Force said in a statement.
The military said its unit that oversees the distribution of humanitarian aid contacted WCK about the group spotted near Deir al-Balah, with the nonprofit confirming that the vehicle was not affiliated with them.
While the IDF only confirmed that five of the men were killed, the video showed at least 10 people huddled around the car and putting on the vests before the vehicle set off.
The IDF did not state if the men killed in the strike were specifically with Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... or members of other terror groups or militias based in the Gaza Strip.
WCK said it condemned anyone who would pose as one of their employees, warning that such actions endanger real aid workers operating in Gaza.

Like the "real" WCK are NOT terrorism enablers.
I remember the World Communist Kitchen truck which got zapped, and all the usuals were hollering outrageous outrage about it for almost 24 hours, then the story disappeared completely because it was released that the truck was way into no-go territory, driving aggressively, and the identities of the passengers were going to be released.
If he's going to be in Cairo...
[France24] Israeli strikes on Gaza City killed at least 11 people overnight, medics said Tuesday, as Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya touched down in Cairo for talks to revive a stalled US-backed ceasefire plan. The latest push comes amid a mounting civilian death toll and deep divisions over terms for ending the war.
Israeli planes and tanks kept bombarding eastern areas of Gaza City overnight, killing at least 11 people, witnesses and medics said on Tuesday, with Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya arrived in Cairo for talks to revive a US-backed ceasefire plan.
The latest round of indirect talks in Qatar ended in deadlock in late July with Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas trading blame over the lack of progress on a US proposal for a 60-day truce and hostage release deal.
Israel has since said it will launch a new offensive and seize control of Gaza City, which it captured shortly after the war's outbreak in October 2023 before pulling out. Militants regrouped and have waged largely guerrilla-style war since then.
It is unclear how long a new Israeli military incursion into the sprawling city in north Gaza, now widely reduced to rubble, could last or how it would differ from the earlier operation.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to expand military control over Gaza, expected to be launched in October, has increased a global outcry over the widespread devastation of the territory and a hunger crisis spreading among Gaza's largely homeless population of over two million.
It has also stirred criticism in Israel, with the military chief of staff warning it could endanger surviving hostages and prove a death trap for Israeli soldiers. It has also raised fears of further displacement and hardship among the estimated one million Palestinians in the Gaza City region.

Witnesses and medics said Israeli planes and tanks pounded eastern districts of Gaza City again overnight, killing seven people in two houses in the Zeitoun suburb and four in an apartment building in the city centre.
In the south of the enclave, five people including a couple and their child were killed by an Israeli air strike on a house in the city of Khan Younis and four by a strike on a tent encampment in nearby, coastal Mawasi, medics said.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports and that its forces take precautions to mitigate civilian harm.
Separately, it said on Tuesday that its forces had killed dozens of militants in north Gaza over the past month and destroyed more tunnels used by militants in the area.
More deaths from starvation, malnutrition
Five more people, including two children, have died of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza in the past 24 hours, the territory's health ministry said. The new deaths raised the number of deaths from the same causes to 227, including 103 children, since the war started, it added.
Israel disputes the malnutrition fatality figures reported by the health ministry in the Hamas-run enclave.
The war began on October 7, 2023 when Hamas-led militants stormed over the border into southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, according to Israeli figures, in the country's worst ever security lapse.
Israel's ground and air war against the Islamist Hamas in Gaza since then has killed more than 61,000 Palestinians, left much of the enclave in ruins and wrought a humanitarian disaster with grave shortages of food, drinking water and safe shelter.
Netanyahu, whose far-right ultranationalist coalition allies want an outright Israeli takeover and re-settlement of Gaza, has vowed the war will not end until Hamas is eradicated. A Palestinian official with knowledge of the ceasefire talks said Hamas was prepared to return to the negotiating table.
However, the gaps between the sides appear to remain wide on key issues including the extent of any Israeli military withdrawal and demands for Hamas to disarm, which it has ruled out before a Palestinian state is established.
An Arab diplomat said mediators Egypt and Qatar have not given up on reviving the negotiations and that Israel's decision to announce its new Gaza City offensive plan may not be a bluff but served to bring Hamas back to the negotiating table.

[Rudaw] Damascus authorities said that one Syrian soldier was killed in festivities early Tuesday morning with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), accusing the Kurdish-led forces of "targeting" Syrian army positions. The statement came less than a day after the SDF accused Damascus-affiliated groups of engaging in provocative activities across multiple areas under SDF control.
The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) quoted the defense ministry’s media department as saying that "two SDF-affiliated groups attempted to infiltrate Syrian Arab Army positions in the Tal Ma'az area, east of Aleppo, at approximately 2:35 a.m." The statement added that "following this escalation, fierce festivities erupted, resulting in the martyrdom of a Syrian Army soldier."
Syrian army units "responded to the sources of fire in accordance with the rules of engagement and thwarted the infiltration attempt, forcing the [SDF] elements" to "withdraw to their original positions," the ministry said.
The defense ministry also accused the SDF of continuing to "target army deployment sites in the Deir Hafer and Manbij areas," located northeast and east of Aleppo, respectively, "on a permanent basis."
It urged the Kurdish-led forces to "adhere to the agreements signed with the Syrian state and to stop infiltration, shelling, and provocative actions against army positions and residents in Aleppo and its eastern countryside," adding that "the continuation of these actions will lead to new consequences."
The Syrian Defense Ministry’s remarks followed a stern warning from the SDF on Monday, accusing Damascus-affiliated groups of repeatedly violating a recently signed ceasefire and engaging in provocative actions in areas under SDF control.
The SDF stated that "groups affiliated with the Damascus government have been attempting to provoke our forces," particularly "near the town of Deir Hafer [east of Aleppo] and surrounding villages." The Kurdish-led forces stressed their restraint but warned that continued targeting would compel them to "respond in legitimate self-defense."
SDF chief Mazloum Abdi and Syria’s interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa on March 10 signed a landmark agreement which outlines the integration of "all civil and military institutions in northeast Syria [Rojava] under the administration of the Syrian state" and establishes a "ceasefire across all Syrian territory."
A follow-up agreement, signed in early April reportedly with American representatives, established a joint security framework for the Kurdish-majority neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsood and Ashrafiyeh in northern Aleppo, alongside provisions for continued prisoner exchanges between the two sides.
In Monday’s statement, the SDF reported that Damascus-affiliated groups had intensified patrols near Sheikh Maqsood and Ashrafiyeh, with drones flying continuously overhead, one of which went kaboom! on the outskirts - actions the SDF condemned as clear violations. They urged the Syrian government to "control these rogue elements" to prevent the collapse of the fragile accords and called for de-escalation to preserve peace in Aleppo and beyond.
Tensions have escalated amid difficulties implementing the SDF-Damascus agreements.
On Saturday, the Syrian interim government abruptly canceled planned talks in Gay Paree with the SDF, citing a recent unity conference in Hasaka, eastern Rojava, as a breach of the Abdi-Sharaa agreement.
The conference, which included over 400 representatives from minority communities across Syria, called for amendments to the transitional constitution, which critics argue grants sweeping powers to interim President Sharaa while marginalizing non-majority groups.
A government source told state media, "The government affirms this conference has dealt a blow to the negotiation effort and will not participate in any upcoming Gay Paree meetings."
