[FoxNews] U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Boston announced on Wednesday the arrests of two illegal immigrants who have been charged with forcibly raping children in Massachusetts, as well as a third individual who was convicted of raping a child in Brazil, and was hiding in the U.S. after being caught and released at the U.S. border in 2022.
The arrests come after Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said her state would not cooperate with President-elect Trump’s federal immigration enforcement efforts once he returns to the Oval Office in January.
ICE said one of the suspects, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, was arrested for forcible rape of a child, but was released in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, by authorities, who ignored a detainer request made by the federal agency to hold or transfer him to federal custody.
The suspect, 21-year-old Mynor Stiven De Paz-Munoz, entered the U.S. on Sept. 24, 2020, near Eagle Pass, Texas, and was released by U.S. Border Patrol with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice (DOJ) Executive Office of Immigration Review Judge.
He was later arrested in western Massachusetts by Great Barrington police on Feb. 29, 2024, for rape of a child by force, rape of a child, and indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston lodged a detainer with the police department, but it was ignored, and De Paz-Munoz was released on bail before ERO Boston officers could take him into custody.
He has since been charged by the Berkshire County Superior Court with the crimes, which are still pending, and he remains in custody.
"Mynor Stiven De Paz-Munoz stands accused of horrifically victimizing a Massachusetts child and represents a significant threat to our neighborhoods," acting ERO Boston Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde said. "We owe it to the children of our New England communities to prioritize public safety above everything else."
The second suspect, 42-year-old Billy Erney Buitrago-Bustos of Colombia, was arrested by Great Barrington police on Oct. 8, 2023, for allegedly raping a child by force, statutory rape and aggravated rape.
Buitrago-Gusto was admitted into the U.S. on May 4, 2016, at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, though he failed to leave under the terms of his visa.
After his arrest in October 2023, ERO Boston lodged an immigration arrest with the Great Barrington Police Department. Later that month, Buitrago-Gusto was arraigned in the Southern Berkshire District Court and held without bail. The charges were elevated to the Berkshire County Superior Court on March 18, which honored the immigration detainer and released him into custody of ERO Boston on Nov. 15, after he posted bail.
"Billy Erney Buitrago-Bustos stands accused of the most heinous and reprehensible of crimes," Hyde said. "We thank our law enforcement partners at the Berkshire County Jail and House of Correction for prioritizing public safety and protecting children in the communities they were appointed to serve."
The third suspect, 41-year-old Alexandre Romao De Oliveira, is a foreign fugitive convicted of raping a child in Brazil.
He was convicted in the First Criminal Court of Jaru, Rondônia, Brazil, on Feb. 10, 2022, and sentenced to serve 14 years behind bars.
But according to ICE, Romao De Oliveira fled Brazil before he could serve his sentence. On April 16, 2022, Romao De Oliveira entered the U.S. near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, without admission by an immigration official, and was released from custody after being served a notice to appear before a DOJ immigration review judge.
ICE Boston arrested Romao De Oliveira on Monday in the northern Massachusetts city of Methuen.
"Alexandre Romao De Oliveira is a convicted child rapist who fled his home country to evade justice," Hyde said. "Enhancing public safety starts with cooperation between law enforcement partners. Bringing this fugitive to justice is a direct result of the collaboration between ERO Boston, the ICE attaché offices around the globe, and our foreign law enforcement counterparts."

[IsraelTimes] Turkey denounces a missile attack targeting a cargo ship in the Red Sea by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels, saying measures were being taken to prevent any such further incidents.
”But we’re on the same side! How could you be so mean!!”
“We condemn the missile attacks by the Houthis on the Panama-flagged dry cargo ship Anadolu S, owned by a Turkish company, while sailing off the coast of Yemen,” the foreign ministry says in a statement.
The Houthis say the attacks on global shipping are in support of Palestinian terror group Hamas amid the war in Gaza.
[IsraelTimes] The London Metropolitan Police have opened an investigation into an altercation that broke out on Tuesday night when a woman set fire to an Israeli flag at a venue hosting an event for Jewish university students, a police spokesperson tells the UK’s Jewish News.
According to Israel advocacy group StandWithUs, some 250 students were in attendance at an “Israeli party” being held at a London venue, parts of which were still open to the public at the same time as the event was ongoing.
It says in a statement that “individuals who were not guests of the party began to shout ‘Free Palestine’ when they noticed the Israeli decorations at the venue.”
Despite being warned by venue management that they would be removed if they continued to interrupt, StandWithUs says that “one of these individuals approached the DK stand and began burning the Israeli flag with a lighter.”
Speaking to the Jewish News, the Metropolitan Police confirm that “an off-duty officer had detained a woman on suspicion of racially/religiously aggravated criminal damage.”
“The details of all involved were taken by the officers at the scene, who initially determined that no further action should be taken,” the police statement adds. “The circumstances have since been reviewed and a decision taken that the investigation will remain open so that the matter can be fully investigated.”
Anti-Israel activists appeared to have blocked campus access at the University of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Los Angeles (UCLA).
On Tuesday, student Eli Tsives posted to Instagram on Tuesday, saying that "Pro-Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... protesters blocking access through campus again!"
In the same post, video footage shows masked activists preventing students from walking across part of campus. Signage reading "Blood On Your Hands" can be seen, while the activists chant, "Hey, hey, ho, ho! The occupation has got to go!"
This is not the first time UCLA students have been blocked due to campus protesters.
In August, a federal judge wrote that protesters are not allowed to block Jewish students from walking on campus.
"In the year 2024, in the United States of America, in the State of California, in the City of Los Angeles, Jewish students were excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused to denounce their faith," Judge Mark Scarsi wrote in his injunction. "This fact is so unimaginable and so abhorrent to our constitutional guarantee of religious freedom that it bears repeating, Jewish students were excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused to denounce their faith."
The August injunction against UCLA was the result of a June lawsuit that was filed by three Jewish students who blamed the school for not doing enough to stop discrimination stemming from anti-Israel campus demonstrations.
"In the wake of these horrifying events, UCLA should have taken steps to ensure that its Jewish students were safe and protected from harassment and undeterred in obtaining full access to campus facilities," the lawsuit asserted. ""Instead, UCLA officials routinely turned their backs on Jewish students, aiding and abetting a culture that has allowed calls for the annihilation of the Jewish people, Nazi symbolism, and religious slurs to go unchecked."
[BBC] A Florida man has been arrested and charged with plotting to set off a bomb at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), according to court documents.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener is accused of attempting to use an explosive device to damage or destroy a building used in interstate commerce, according the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida.
According to the FBI, he allegedly recorded himself saying "I feel like [Osama] Bin Laden" - a reference to the former al-Qaeda leader responsible for the 9/11 attacks on the US.
Federal officials began investigating him in February after receiving a tip that he was keeping bomb-making supplies inside an unlocked storage unit.
Agents searched the facility in Coral Springs and said they discovered “bombmaking sketches, numerous watches with timers, electronic circuit boards and other electronics”, court documents said.
A federal public defender in the Southern District of Florida who has been assigned to represent Mr Yener did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In the documents, investigators said Mr Yener allegedly told an undercover agent last week that he planned to carry out the attack the week before the Thanksgiving holiday, which takes place on 28 November.
“That would be a great hit,” Mr Yener allegedly told an agent, saying the attack in lower Manhattan would be "hella easy".
He also allegedly conducted numerous internet searches for how to build bombs, and told agents he planned to wear a disguise during the attack and release a recorded message to the media.
Investigators said Mr Yener's alleged "motivation for bombing the NYSE was to attain a 'reboot' and/or 'reset' of the United States government".
Mr Yener is said to have told undercover agents that the explosion would be ‘like a small nuke went off’ and that '[a]nything outside' the building ‘will be wiped out’ and ‘anything inside there would be killed'."
He allegedly maintained a YouTube channel with videos describing how to make explosives from household items.
Mr Yener, a resident of southern Florida, is homeless, according to court documents.
He appeared in court on Wednesday for the first time and will be detained while he waits for his trial, according to the Associated Press news agency.
The arrest is the latest in the last few months involving US national security.
In October, a man from Afghanistan was arrested for allegedly planning an attack to coincide with election day, which took place earlier this month.
And in August, a Pakistani man was arrested for allegedly plotting to murder US officials on behalf of Iran.

[IsraelTimes] Three Palestinians have been charged over a plot to kill far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, the Israel Police and Shin Bet say in a joint statement.
The cell, made up of residents of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, was led by Ismail Ibrahim Awadi, who established contact in July 2024 with Hezbollah and Hamas in a bid to secure arms and assistance to carry out a series of planned attacks, the statement says.
The cell conducted surveillance against Ben Gvir and his sons who live in the neighboring settlement of Kiryat Arba, noting the routes they took, the make of the vehicles he traveled in, and details on his guards.
The statement says they developed a plan to kill Ben Gvir when he arrived at the scene of a terror attack.
Following the investigations “serious” charges were filed at a military court, the statement says.
[LegalInsurrection] Israeli military and security forces eliminated several terrorists and destroyed 4 bomb factories as part of an anti-terror operation in the West Bank town of Jenin.
“Over the past two days, IDF, Border Police, and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) forces conducted a counter-terrorism operation in Jenin. As part of the operation, they eliminated five terrorists and seized weapons, the military said,” the Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday. “Additionally, four explosive labs, an operations center, and dozens of explosives were destroyed.”
Israeli fighter jets also conducted strikes on terrorist targets in Jenin, a stronghold of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist groups. The Israeli broadcaster Arutz Sheva reported Wednesday that “IAF struck armed terrorists a short while ago in the area of Jenin.”
[IsraelTimes] Death of Sgt. First Class (res.) Roi Sasson, 21, of Kfir Brigade’s Nahshon Battalion, brings toll for IDF on and since Oct. 7, 2023, to 800; Netanyahu visits Strip
An Israel Defense Forces reserve soldier was killed and a senior officer was seriously maimed during fighting in the northern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. 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 is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. 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. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip on Tuesday, the military announced the following morning, bringing Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... in Gaza and military operations along the border with the Strip to 379.
The slain soldier was named as Sgt. First Class (res.) Roi Sasson, 21, of the Kfir Brigade’s Nahshon Battalion, from the Jerusalem suburb of Mevaseret.
The battalion’s commander, Lt. Col. Yoel Glickman, was seriously maimed in the same incident. According to an initial IDF probe, the two were hit in an exchange of fire with button men in the Beit Lahiya area.
Sasson’s death brought the total number of soldiers, reservists and local security officers killed in fighting since the October 7, 2023, attack to 800.
The announcements came after the IDF said troops had killed over 1,300 terror operatives during an ongoing operation in the nearby Jabalia area of northern Gaza. The operation being carried out by the 162nd Division was launched over a month ago.
More than 1,000 members of Hamas and other terror groups have also been detained, according to the military’s latest estimates released Tuesday, which added that some 100-200 operatives remain in the area.
[IsraelTimes] Police say Border Police officers fired at a suspicious man at the Shuafat checkpoint north of Jerusalem.
They say officers noticed the man hiding a bag near the crossing before advancing on foot through a vehicle lane. Despite repeated orders to stop, the suspect continued moving toward the checkpoint. Officers fired at his lower body, neutralizing him.
The suspect, who sustained moderate injuries, was taken by medical teams for treatment.
[IsraelTimes[ Imad al-Adwan was arrested by Israel last year with 200 guns found in his car, then handed over to Jordanians for trial
A Jordanian court sentenced one of the kingdom’s politicians to 10 years of hard labor after convicting him of smuggling weapons into the West Bank.
Imad al-Adwan was arrested at the Israel-administered Allenby Border Crossing (also called the King Hussein Crossing) between Jordan and the West Bank on April 22, 2023, when Israeli security forces found 12 rifles and 194 pistols in his car, Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency said at the time.
Very likely he was part of Iran’s effort to flood the West Bank with weapons, at least some of which are intended to be use against those uppity Jews who defy Allah’s plan by insisting on ruling themselves instead of submitting to the humiliation of being ruled by Allah’s favourites among the Master Religion.
Israel transferred him to Jordanian authorities in May last year, and he was eventually convicted of exporting weapons with the intention of illegal use after being stripped of his parliamentary immunity.
Three others were also convicted in the case and sentenced to lengthy prison time by the Jordanian State Security Court.
Adwan is a lawyer and a member of the Jordanian parliament’s Paleostine committee.
Since February 2022, Adwan had used his diplomatic passport 12 times to smuggle various goods, including "birds, pigeons, electronic cigarettes and gold," according to the Shin Bet, which interrogated him before he was handed to the Jordanians.
In 2023, he began smuggling weapons across the border "out of greed," and received large sums of money, it said.
Adwan’s arrest by Israel tested already tense ties between Amman and Jerusalem, though Israel was quick to clarify that it did not hold the kingdom responsible for the smuggling attempt.
A surge of violence and terror attacks has wracked the West Bank over the past year, aided by a flood of illegal weapons, including many guns smuggled from Jordan.
… every time I post a picture like this, all the “social warriors” come out to play with the “They are humans. They deserve dignity. Why does Israel have to humiliate them like this?” stupidity.
So let me tell you something we learn from Jewish scripture.
He who is compassionate to the evil will end up being evil to the compassionate.
These genocidal maniacs deserve zero compassion. I don’t think I need to remind you what Hamas did on October 7th. If you think it’s moral to care about their dignity, well, I don’t know how to break this to you, but you’ve lost direction.
Fix your moral compass.
Oh, and yes, there are people of all ages here because there are people of all ages in Hamas. They have recruited women, children, old men, and everyone else who wants to kill Jews.

Islam has been the Enemy of Jews and Christians since its evil conception.
There has been no peace and will be no peace with ISLAM as long as it exists.
There has only short periods of time, as it regroups after getting its ass handed to it, again and again.
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Responding to this story from yesterday. The Jew-haters in the Democratic Party won this round. Even though this round only matters for two months. But they sure showed the rest of us.
🚨BREAKING: The Biden Administration has decided to delay the shipment of approximately 20,000 MK84 bombs, even as Israel is at its peak in the war against Hezbollah and Hamas. These bombs are crucial to the Israeli Air Force's aerial weaponry arsenal.
Is the Biden-Harris team schizophrenic? Because they sent a message to the Senate Tuesday in President Biden’s name requesting that three bills blocking the sale of arms to Israel fail, and in fact all three did yesterday despite some Democrats supporting them: blocking the transfer of the $774 sale of tank rounds, blocking the $61 million sale of mortar rounds, and blocking the $262 sale of joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs). See details here.

The answer may be as simple as, given the LSD's demonstrated hostility to Jews. Those still running the O'Biden Coup could be denying Israel and sending them to support Ukraine, given its also long history of hostility to Jews.
Question: Given Ukraine's 79+ F-16's can use MK-84's. But, can Ukraine's collection of MiG-29s, Su-24s, Su-25s, and Su-27s use the MK-84's?
[IsraelTimes] Researcher Zeev Erlich crossed border to examine archaeological site; two other troops also hurt in same incident; reservist separately killed in southern Lebanon building collapse}
A 71-year-old Israeli civilian was killed Wednesday along with a soldier during a shootout with Hezbollah operatives, after entering southern Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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... without the required approvals while accompanied by a senior IDF officer.
In a separate incident, an IDF reservist was killed when a damaged building collapsed during an early morning operation in southern Lebanon.
According to an initial IDF probe, the chief of staff of the Golani Brigade, Col. Yoav Yarom, allowed Israeli researcher Zeev Erlich, 71, to enter the western sector of southern Lebanon to examine an archaeological site — an ancient fortress.
Despite the belief that the area had been cleared, two Hezbollah operatives were hiding at the site and shot up the researcher, senior officer, and other soldiers who were accompanying them.
Erlich and a soldier, who will be named later, were killed in the incident.
Col. Yoav Yarom, the Golani Brigade’s chief of staff who was accompanying Erlich, was moderately maimed in the shootout with the Hezbollah operatives. A company commander with the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion was also seriously maimed in the same incident.
Erlich had entered southern Lebanon while armed and in IDF uniform, despite apparently not being an active duty soldier or in reserves.
The two Hezbollah button men were killed, according to an IDF probe. The IDF has retroactively recognized Erlich as a major in reserves, despite him not being on active duty when he was killed. His entry to southern Lebanon is under investigation by the IDF.
The slain soldier in the separate incident was named as Sgt. First Class (res.) Eitan Ben Ami, 22, of the Maglan commando unit, from Jerusalem.
Another soldier was maimed by the collapse and was rescued.
According to an initial IDF probe, the commandos were walking through a damaged building in a southern Lebanon village, when it suddenly collapsed.
The building had been previously damaged by Israeli strikes on the area, and the IDF believes that it collapsed due to the harsh weather conditions. The IDF has ruled out the possibility that the building was booby-trapped or was hit by enemy fire that led it to collapse.
Since October 8, 2023, 71 IDF soldiers and reservists have died in cross-border skirmishes and in the ensuing ground operation launched in southern Lebanon in late September. Two soldiers have been killed in a drone attack from Iraq, and there have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.
’A BIBLE IN ONE POCKET, A MAP IN ANOTHER’
Erlich, a tour guide and historian who was particularly well-known in the West Bank settler community, was eulogized by national religious leaders on Wednesday night.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said he was pained by the loss, remembering Erlich’s work that "uncovered the secrets of the great land through love and passion for it."
"Zeev contributed much to the security of the country. Senior officers helped him over the years in analyzing and understanding the region and its importance for ongoing security and operations," he wrote on X.
Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said Erlich was "71-years-old with the energy of a 17-year-old teenager."
"He had a story for every rock. History for every path. A bible in one pocket, a map in another," Eliyahu posted on X.
The Yesha Council, an umbrella organization representing settlement municipal authorities in the West Bank, praised Erlich’s research of geography, archeology, and history in the area, calling him a "living legend."
"For many years he volunteered and assisted soldiers in different areas to understand the villages and sites," the council said in a statement.
Erlich had entered southern Lebanon while armed and in IDF uniform, despite apparently not being an active duty soldier or in reserves. Still, he is being recognized retroactively by the military as a fallen IDF soldier.
[LegalInsurrection] Israeli air strikes also eliminated two Hezbollah commanders directly responsible for recent rocket strikes into southern Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Wednesday.
“On Sunday, the IAF (Israel Air Force) eliminated the commanders of Hezbollah’s anti-tank missile and operations unit in the coastal sector. They were responsible for terror attacks against Israeli civilians, including missile attacks on civilian communities in the Western Galilee area and the coastal plain in Israel,” the IDF said in a press statement.
“The elimination of these commanders further degrade Hezbollah’s ability to carry out terror attacks from southern Lebanon against Israeli civilians,” the IDF assured.
Israeli troops were advancing in Hezbollah-held southern Lebanon as the ground offensive entered its eighth week.
“IDF troops are continuing limited, localized, targeted raids in southern Lebanon to remove threats to Israeli civilians. The forces located weapons storage facilities and struck terrorist command centers and sites during joint ground and aerial activity,” the military added.
Israel was keeping up the pressure on Hezbollah by carrying out air raids against terrorist targets in southern Lebanon and in the Beirut stronghold of Dahieh.
“Over the past day, the IAF struck over 100 terror targets in Lebanon, including launchers, weapons storage facilities, command centers, and military structures,” the military said Wednesday.
[IsraelTimes] Lebanese speaker notes some details still need to be worked out after meeting with Amos Hochstein, who may travel to Israel Wednesday; IDF division expands southern Lebanon incursion.
A senior US mediator said Tuesday that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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... was "within our grasp" as he arrived in the region to clinch a long-sought halt to the war.
Special Envoy Amos Hochstein’s trip to Lebanon Tuesday came as fighting showed little sign of easing, with dozens of rockets fired into northern Israel, an Israeli reservist killed in a Hezbollah drone attack in southern Lebanon and a key Hezbollah commander killed in an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... Hochstein said he had held "very constructive talks" with Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri
...perennial Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians... , an ally of Hezbollah who is mediating on the group’s behalf.
The speaker said that Hochstein told him that the US had already coordinated with the Israelis about the proposal.
The proposal on the table entails both the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group and Israeli ground forces withdrawing from southern Lebanon, where a UN buffer zone would be bolstered by thousands of additional UN peacekeepers and Lebanese troops.
Israel has called for a stronger enforcement mechanism to keep Hezbollah from rebuilding its force near the Israeli border, where it could threaten northern Israel towns with anti-tank missile fire or an armed infiltration. Israel reportedly wants to reserve the ability to redeploy against any Hezbollah threats, something Lebanon is likely to oppose.
On Monday, a top Lebanese official told Rooters that Lebanon and Hezbollah had agreed to a US ceasefire proposal — though each had some reservations — describing the effort as the most serious yet to end the fighting.
"Lebanon presented its comments on the paper in a positive atmosphere," said Ali Hassan Khalil, an aide to Berri, declining to give further details. "All the comments that we presented affirm the precise adherence to (UN) Resolution 1701 with all its provisions."
UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended a previous war between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006, requires Hezbollah to have no armed presence in the area between the Lebanese-Israeli border and the Litani River, which runs some 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of the frontier — clauses the terror group violated from the get-go. The resolution also forbids Israel from entering Lebanese airspace, which Beirut says Israel repeatedly broke over the years.
Neither the Lebanese army nor UNIFIL kept Hezbollah from arming up and preparing to cross over and under the border to attack Israel, nor from shooting rockets and missiles at Israeli communities from the border region to halfway across the country. So Israel was forced to handle the situation for them.Israel reportedly demanded last month that the Air Force have freedom of operations in Lebanese airspace as part of its ability to disarm Hezbollah, while Lebanon may be seeking to beef up enforcement of the airspace restrictions.
According to Saudi-based al-Arabiya, Lebanon dropped some demands regarding "state illusory sovereignty" that had constituted sticking points in favor of pressing its demands on the airspace issue.
Israel’s Channel 12 reported that Jerusalem was insisting on the deal including a cause allowing its troops to act in case of a Hezbollah threat, while Lebanon did not believe the deal needed to include such language.
The sides have also failed to come together on the makeup of the bolstered buffer zone force, with Israel insisting on Western countries contributing troops and Lebanon seeking contributions from Arab countries, Channel 12 reported.
A possible solution, according to the channel, would be a force made up of troops from the US, La Belle France, the UN and an Arab country to be named later, overseen by a general from the US’s Central Command.
Israeli troops have been fighting near the frontier in southern Lebanon since October 1, where they have carried out raids aimed at destroying Hezbollah infrastructure, including bunkers, tunnels, rockets and small arms. It launched the intensified campaign against Hezbollah in September to halt a year of rocket attacks on northern Israel that have displaced some 60,000 people living near the border, with the goal of allowing them to return home safely.
A reservist was killed in the fighting early Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces said, marking the 71st fatality among troops in Lebanon and near Israel’s northern border. Israel says 44 civilians have also been killed. Sgt. First Class (res.) Omer Moshe Gaeldor, 30, of the Golani Brigade’s logistics unit, was killed some two kilometers from the Israeli border in southern Lebanon, where his unit was providing security for soldiers fighting deeper inside the country.
According to an initial Israel Defense Forces probe, Gaeldor and three other soldiers were hit by an explosive-laden drone launched by Hezbollah.
Near the eastern end of the frontier, troops from the 98th division were expanding into new areas of southern Lebanon to locate and destroy Hezbollah infrastructure threatening the Kiryat Shmona area, the military said Tuesday.
Before the operation, the IDF launched numerous airstrikes on the area, which had been used by Hezbollah for rocket attacks on the Galilee Panhandle and Kiryat Shmona, Israel’s largest city on the border.
The army also confirmed that it had killed Ali Tawfiq Dweiq, the commander of Hezbollah’s medium-range rocket unit, in an airstrike a day earlier on the village of Jouz, adjacent to the southern Lebanon city of Nabatieh. The medium-range rocket unit is responsible for attacks on Haifa and other areas deep in northern Israel, as well as central Israel. The IDF said Dweiq was responsible for over 300 rockets launched at Israel since he took over the role.
Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem ... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies... was expected to give a speech Tuesday, but the group postponed the address moments after it was announced. No reason was given.
The IDF said that since Sunday, over 150 strikes were carried out against Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, including 25 weapon depots and some 30 rocket launchers. At least 11 strikes were carried out in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
Lebanon said three of its soldiers were killed in an Israeli strike on an army post in southern Lebanon. The health ministry earlier said at least two people were killed in the strike near Beirut, and 28 others were killed Monday.
UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, said four Ghanaian Blue Helmets were maimed when a rocket fired by a "non-state actor" hit their base. The IDF said Hezbollah had twice fired rockets on Tuesday that damaged UNIFIL posts.
It tallied at least 70 rockets and drones fired into central and northern Israel Tuesday, where they lightly injured five people and caused damage to some areas. Hezbollah in the past week has launched some 400 rockets at Israel. Since Thursday, the IDF said, 22 out of 27 drones launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon were intercepted.

No it is not. Jews want a byline to allow first strikes against Hezbollah who are undermining the cease-fire. Globalists and their aligned Terror Groups wont accept that.

The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... have killed at least 3,544 people and maimed 15,036 since October 8, 2023, the country's health ministry said on Tuesday evening.
In a statement, the ministry said that 28 were killed and 107 maimed over the past 24 hours.
Lebanon has been facing relentless Israeli attacks for more than a year, but this aggression has grown more intense and deadly since the end of last September, resulting in thousands of casualties and the displacement of more than a million people.

Death toll in Lebanon now over 3,544
Personally, I'm hoping for a lot of permanently maimed - to keep the memory fresh.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] 36 people were killed and more than 50 others injured in an Israeli aggression on Wednesday, that targeted a number of buildings in Palmyra City, Syrian Desert, The official Syrian news agency ... and if you can't believe the Official Syrian News Agency who can you believe? (SANA) reported, citing a military source.
''At approximately 1:30 p.m. today, the Israeli enemy launched an air attack from the direction of al-Tanf area, targeting a number of buildings in Palmyra City in the Syrian Desert, led to the martyrdom of 36 people, the injury of more than 50 others, and significant material damage to the buildings and the surrounding area,'' the source said in a statement .
Since the beginning of 2011, the Israeli enemy has launched hundreds of air strikes in Syria, targeting government forces' sites.
The pace of Israeli attacks on Syria has increased in recent weeks, with the escalation of the Israeli war on Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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... since September 23.
Israel has recently targeted points near the border crossings linking Syria and Lebanon and has repeatedly targeted residential buildings in a number of areas, including Damascus and Homs, especially the Qusayr area on the border with Lebanon.
Those, apparently were all attempted delivery of Iranian weapons to Hezbollah. What odds this time is more of the same?
Ask, and the internet provides an answer, in this case via Legal Insurrection:
Israeli fighter jets allegedly destroyed a weapons depot belonging to an Iran-backed terrorist group in Syria, the local media reports say.
“A UK-based monitoring group put the death toll at 41 and reported that the strikes hit a weapons depot and other locations in and around an area inhabited by families of Iran-backed militia fighters,” the BBC reported. “The Israeli military said it did not comment on foreign reports,” the broadcaster added.
Other terrorist targets were also reportedly hit in the strike. Israel carried out strikes “targeting a number of buildings in the city of Palmyra” located in central Syria, a regime-owned broadcaster said.
The strikes come a day after The Wall Street Journal revealed that the Israeli military was uncovering a large cache of Russian-made weapons as it moves deeper into Hezbollah-controlled southern Lebanon.
“As Israel advances its invasion of southern Lebanon, its troops are finding large troves of Russian weapons, confirming longstanding suspicions in Israel that Hezbollah is enhancing its fighting capacity with the help of sophisticated Russian arms,” the WSJ noted Tuesday.
The Iran-backed terrorist group was receiving the latest weaponry from the Russian stockpiles located in Syria. “Some of the weapons, which include modern Kornet antitank missiles manufactured as recently as 2020, were sent to southern Lebanon in recent years from Russian stockpiles in neighboring Syria,” the business daily reported, citing official Arab and Syrian sources.
In recent months, Israel conducted several airstrikes aimed at Iran-linked weapons dumps linked to Hezbollah and other terrorist groups based in Syria. “Israel has been carrying out strikes against Iran-linked targets in Syria for years but has ramped up such raids since the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel that sparked the Gaza war,” the Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday. “The Israeli military said last week it had attacked transit routes on the Syrian-Lebanese border that were used to transfer weapons to Hezbollah.”

The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... after the Israeli war began in September, with 37% of those leaving being Lebanese and 63% being Syrians.
Syria is safer than Lebanon? I guess it’s safe for all those Syrian refugees in Europe to head home, too.
The UN report also indicated that 34,992 Lebanese had arrived in Iraq.
On September 23, the Israeli occupation launched a military operation against Lebanon involving large-scale air strikes against Hezbollah targets.
