Africa Horn
RSF exploited security breach to attack hospital in North Darfur's capital
[SUDANTRIBUNE] A security lapse exploited by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has led to an attack on the South Hospital in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, sparking outrage and accusations against the Joint Darfur Force responsible for the city’s southern flank.

A military official, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered...
, informed Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
Tribune that elements of the joint force guarding the southern axis were tricked into withdrawing from their positions, allowing the RSF to infiltrate El Fasher.

Sudan Tribune’s investigation revealed that the joint force stationed in the al-Salam neighbourhood in southern El Fasher received deceptive orders from individuals disguised in Joint Force uniforms, instructing them to retreat due to inclement weather and rain. Subsequently, an RSF unit, using civilian vehicles, entered the city centre through this opening and attacked the South Hospital, the only functioning medical facility in the area.

Upon discovering the breach, a Sudanese army force, supported by elements of the Joint Force stationed at the nearby market, engaged the RSF, ultimately driving them southeast of the city.

Joint Force front man Ahmed Hussein Mustafa vehemently denied issuing any withdrawal orders for the al-Salam neighbourhood. He alleged that the RSF exploited a security vulnerability with the assistance of individuals affiliated with al-Hadi Idris’s Sudan Liberation Movement-Transitional Council (SLM-TC) and Tahir Hajar’s faction of the Gathering of Sudan Liberation Forces (GSLF), both of which have declined to support the army against the RSF.

Hussein informed Sudan Tribune that they possess evidence implicating members of these groups in destabilizing El Fasher’s security. He stated that these individuals impersonate Joint Force personnel, utilize civilian vehicles, and operate among civilians, providing the RSF with intelligence on the movements and locations of Joint Force units. He pledged to decisively address this threat soon.

Sources disclosed that several individuals were apprehended on the day of the hospital attack, confessing to being members of Hajer’s group and admitting to entering the hospital before the RSF’s arrival.

However,
Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried...
SLM-TC leader al-Hadi Idris refuted these allegations, emphasizing that his forces withdrew from El Fasher over two months ago. He attributed the accusations to his neutral stance and calls for a ceasefire.

RSF soldiers in Khartoum accused of killing mentally disabled individuals
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Private sources have revealed to Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
Tribune that several mentally disabled individuals have been killed in various areas of Khartoum by soldiers belonging to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), either by shooting or torture.

The fate of dozens of patients in mental hospitals in Khartoum remains unknown after the outbreak of war.

A member of the Khartoum Emergency Rooms, speaking to Sudan Tribune on the condition of anonymity for safety reasons, stated that RSF soldiers killed several mentally disabled people during the initial months of the war. Various committees, activists, and families have buried these individuals in different areas.

Two members of Emergency Committees in Bahri confirmed that more than three mentally disabled people were shot by RSF soldiers. They stressed that the soldiers kill these individuals on sight.

Alim Ahmed, a Bahri resident who fled to South Sudan, witnessed the killing of three mentally disabled people on al-Sayyid Ali Street (Shambat Street) at different times.

Ahmed confirmed that RSF soldiers, who had set up a base near a gas station at the beginning of the road, opened fire on the individuals. He stated that the soldiers justified the killings of some residents by claiming the individuals posed a danger to them.

El Fasher's last hospital forced to close after RSF attack
[SUDANTRIBUNE] El Fasher South Hospital, the only functioning medical facility in the city, has been forced to suspend operations after a violent mostly peaceful attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

On Saturday evening, RSF forces stormed the hospital, assaulting patients, staff, and visitors, and looting money, mobile phones, and an ambulance. The attack was eventually repelled by the army and its allied armed movements after intense fighting.

Ibrahim Abdallah, Director General of the Ministry of Health in North Darfur State, confirmed that the hospital is no longer operational and patients and staff have been evacuated to safety. He reported that the RSF executed several patients and kidnapped visitors during the attack, in addition to looting salaries, medications, and an ambulance, and destroying vehicles.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF), which operated the hospital in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, announced the cessation of operations in a statement released on Sunday. Michel Lacharite, MSF Head of Emergencies, condemned the attack, stating, "It is outrageous that the RSF opened fire inside the hospital. This is not an isolated incident, as staff and patients have endured attacks on the facility for weeks from all sides, but opening fire inside a hospital crosses a line."

At the time of the attack, only 10 patients and a reduced medical team were present, as MSF and the Ministry of Health had begun transferring patients and services to other facilities due to escalating violence.

South Hospital was one of only two hospitals in El Fasher with surgical capacity and served as the primary referral center for treating war-maimed. Between May 10 and June 6, over 1,300 casualties were treated at the hospital.

Strip.

Russia abstained from the vote, while the remaining 14 council members voted in favour. The U.S. had finalized its text on Sunday after six days of negotiations among the council.

Biden laid out a three-phase ceasefire plan on May 31 that he described as an Israeli initiative. Some Security Council members questioned whether Israel had accepted the plan to end the fighting in Gaza.

The resolution welcomes the new ceasefire proposal, "which Israel accepted, calls upon Hamas to also accept it, and urges both parties to fully implement its terms without delay and without condition."

"We're waiting on Hamas to agree to the ceasefire deal it claims to want," U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the council before the vote. "With every passing day, needless suffering continues."

The resolution also goes into detail about the proposal, and spells out that "if the negotiations take longer than six weeks for phase one, the ceasefire will still continue as long as negotiations continue."

The council in March demanded for an immediate ceasefire and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas.

have been trying to mediate a ceasefire. Hamas says it wants a permanent end to the war in the Gaza Strip and Israeli withdrawal from the enclave of 2.3 million people.

More than 1,200 people were killed and over 250 taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7, according to Israeli tallies. More than 100 hostages are believed to remain captive in Gaza.

Israel launched an air, ground and sea assault on the Paleostinian territory, killing more than 37,000 Paleostinians, according to Gaza health authorities.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
How Yamam rescued the hostages under heavy enemy fire

The Israel Police on Monday published body camera footage of Yamam fighters raiding the apartment where Gaza hostages Shlomi Ziv, Andrey Kozlov, and Almog Meir Jan were being held captive and rescuing them on Monday.

In the video, Yamam soldiers engaged in numerous firefights before entering the building. Once inside, they asked the three hostages to identify themselves by name.

Afterward, another soldier exclaims to the hostages, "We’ve come to save you," and gives Jan a fist bump to relax them.

The video ends with footage of Yamam soldiers providing cover fire while the hostages flee on foot.

The police provided the following statement along with the video:

"Yamam and Shin Bet operatives worked simultaneously at two locations to rescue the four hostages, engaging in fierce combat with the terrorists.

Attached is footage from helmet cameras capturing the moments of the rescue, where Yamam officers and Shin Bet (Israel Security Service) operatives storm the locations holding the hostages. The dramatic rescue amidst fighting and neutralization of the terrorists in the area is clearly visible. />

Hazem, 10, has not spoken since he was injured in Thursday's strike on a UN school being used as a shelter and the shrapnel wounds are visible on his back, chest and head.

"He's been lying on the ground for days. He's supposed to be in the intensive care unit. There are no mattresses," said his aunt, Umm Nasser in a video obtained by Rooters. Hazem is now in a bed but had to manage on the floor until Monday.

His plight shows the dire condition of Gaza's damaged, under equipped and understaffed hospitals eight months into Israel's military campaign against Hamas

after the group's attack on Israeli communities on Oct. 7.

The collapse in Gaza's health system in the face of massive Israeli bombardment has complicated a host of other unfolding disasters, from the hunger crisis to spreading disease. It has left those with chronic conditions unable to access basic care.

But the war has also brought sudden influxes of badly injured people to the few remaining hospitals even as they struggle to access medical supplies, overwhelming doctors and nurses coping with restricted space and terrible injuries.

In al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, where Hazem is lying injured, there are not even enough stands to hold up IV drips. Hazem's aunt said she had had to hold up the packet of medicine so it would flow.

Israeli kills four Palestinians in West Bank
[GEO.TV] Israeli forces killed four Paleostinians in the occupied West Bank on Monday, Paleostinian officials said, and Israel's border police said they had shot up a vehicle that tried to run them over during an arrest raid.

Israel's border police said in a statement that forces had arrived at the building to arrest suspects from an attempted attack earlier in the day. As they closed in, the statement said, four suspects tried to escape in a vehicle by running over security officers. The officers opened fire and killed them.

The official Paleostinian news agency WAFA said Israeli forces shot up a vehicle near a village outside the city of Ramallah. It reported that Israeli forces later entered the village and eight people were maimed during festivities.

, has escalated further, with stepped-up Israeli military raids and settler violence.

The Israeli take on events:
Hamas commander among four Palestinians killed in West Bank clash

[IsraelTimes] Israel says Border Police officers fired on car that tried to ram them as Hamas members sought to evade arrest raid in Ramallah-area village following Sunday night outpost attack

Border Police officers killed a Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
commander and three other Paleostinian murderous Moslems during a West Bank arrest raid late Monday targeting a man accused of carrying out an arson attack on a settler outpost a day earlier, authorities said. One officer was slightly hurt amid the operation, police said.

The incident occurred in the West Bank town of Kafr Ni’ma near Ramallah in the central West Bank, as troops carried out a manhunt for the murderous Moslems behind Sunday night’s attack on the Sde Ephraim outpost.

Undercover Border Police officers and IDF troops approached a hideout where the cell that allegedly carried out the attack was gathered, causing the main suspect and three others to attempt to flee in a car, police said.

Police said the suspects tried to ram into the officers while making their escape. Officers shot up the vehicle in response, killing the four men inside.

In their vehicle, troops found a makeshift sub-machine gun, a military vest, and bombs, authorities said.

The Hamas terror group said in a statement that four Paleostinians were killed in an armed clash with troops, including commander Mohammed Jaber Abdo, who it said had served 20 years in Israeli prison.

It said a second slain man, Mohammed Raslan Abdo, was a member of its Qassam Brigades armed wing, and identified the other two killed as Rushdi Atayeh and Wassim Zidan Abu Adi, both of whom it said were "fighters" without noting any affiliation.

In the overnight attack in Sde Ephraim, surveillance camera video showed an armed suspect pouring flammable liquid on a trailer used by settlers as a living space, and then setting fire to it, before leaving the scene.

There were no injuries in the attack, as the couple living there were not home at the time.

Sde Ephraim was established illegally on a hilltop that had been part of the Paleostinian village next door, Ras Karkar, also known as Risan. Settlers from the outpost have clashed with local Paleostinians in the area in the past.

Since October 7, troops have arrested some 4,150 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,750 affiliated with Hamas. According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 520 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time in addition to the four that were killed Monday night.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Infighting erupts between Turkey-backed militants in Afrin
03-06-2024
[Rudaw] Fierce fighting took place between two militia groups affiliated with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
on Monday over a land ownership dispute in the Kurdish town of Afrin, causing the injury of several civilians, a war monitor reported.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that Ahrar al-Sharqiya and the Hamza Division militia groups, which are supported by Ankara, clashed in Afrin’s Jandaris city "over a dispute on a piece of land."

The UK-based war monitor added that at least six civilians were maimed in the festivities.

Several opposition news outlets reported the infighting, with some saying heavy and medium weapons were used in the festivities.

Afrin is a Kurdish city that was taken over by Turkey and Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian rebels in a military operation against Kurdish fighters of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in 2018. Most of the Kurdish population fled and Ottoman Turkish authorities resettled Arabs displaced from elsewhere in Syria into their vacated homes.

Human rights groups and the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
have published multiple reports detailing arbitrary arrests, detention, and pillaging, among other violations committed against Afrin’s Kurdish population and they hold Ankara responsible.

Infighting between the members of the Ankara-aligned so-called Syrian National Army (SNA) is not something new. There have been festivities between members of the military umbrella dozens of times over land control.

Washington has sanctioned several Turkey-backed militia groups, including Hamza Division, over human rights
When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much...
violations committed against Afrin residents.

The US Department of the Treasury in August accused the Hamza Division of operating detention facilities "in which it houses those it has kidnapped for extended periods of time. During their imprisonment, victims are held for ransom, often suffering sexual abuse at the hands of Hamza Division fighters."

Two killed, fires in south Lebanon after Israeli strikes
[An Nahar] Israeli strikes have killed two people and sparked wildfires in southern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. 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? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

war began, triggered by the Paleostinian bad boy group's October 7 attack.

The deadly festivities have intensified in recent weeks, causing multiple brush fires on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border and raising fears the conflict could broaden.

Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) said Saturday that "an Israeli drone carried out an air attack with two guided missiles, targeting a cafe in Aitaroun and killing the cafe's owner, Ali Khalil Hamad, 37, and a young man named Mustafa A. Issa."

The agency also reported a "violent mostly peaceful Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
" on the border village of Khiam.

Israel's army said in a statement that "one of its planes struck a Hezbollah terrorist in the Aitaroun region."

The airforce had also targeted bad boy infrastructure in the Khiam and Markaba regions, it added.

Shortly after, Hezbollah said it had launched Katyusha rockets on a town across the border "in response to the Israeli enemy's attacks against southern villages and safe houses, and the targeting of civilians, notably in Aitaroun where two people were killed."

Hezbollah later announced that one of its fighters had been killed by Israeli fire. It identified him as Radwan A. Issa, without providing further details.
