[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The growing sexual abuse accusations involving Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... forces of Evil have sparked furor among the Taliban ranks as they call it a move aimed at defaming the group’s armed efforts.
The latest accusation against the group has emerged from southern Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province of Afghanistan suggesting a group of Taliban forces of Evil were tossed in the calaboose Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! after intruding into a house in Marjah district.
The reports claim that the Taliban forces of Evil had stormed into the house to sexually abuse the family.
However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... the Taliban group front man Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, reacted at the reports and said the enemies of the group are attempting to defame them as they are in panic and have been defeated despite receiving support from the US forces in the ground and from the air.
He also pointed out towards the accusations emerged from southern Uruzgan province of Afghanistan suggesting the abuse of a young boy by the Taliban forces of Evil in Chora district.
This comes as the Taliban forces of Evil are often accused of abusing the young men among their ranks and numerous such reports have emerged suggesting the rape of the jacket wallahs before they are sent for the attacks as claimed by the Afghan intelligence.
However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... incidents involving Taliban forces of Evil storming into a house to abuse a family have rarely been reported.

[AlAhram] Five bandidosLions of Islam and two Egyptian soldiers were killed on Wednesday in an exchange of gunfire following a failed attack on a military checkpoint in the restive North Sinai, Egypt's army said in a statement.
The shootout took place after a bad boy wearing an boom belt attempted to storm the checkpoint before he was killed by security forces, military front man Tamer El-Rifaei said in the statement.
A number of bandidosLions of Islam expeditiously departed at a goodly pace of the shootout.
Earlier this week, 15 coppers were killed after a bomb struck a police convoy near the North Sinai capital of Arish, anonymous sources told al-Ahram Arabic news website. The interior ministry has not provided a specific corpse count.
Security officials said the attack took place just outside the border town of Rafah and that the two conscripts died when the jacket wallahwent kaboom!.
[Ynet] A girl with a bomb strapped to her walked into a mosque in northern Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast.

The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... , authorities said.
The girl of 12 or 13 years old arrived at the Sanda-Wadjiri mosque in remote Kolofata at the first call to prayer at between five and six am, the governor of Cameroon's Far North region Midjiyawa Bakary told Rooters by telephone.
"The men were bowed in prayer when she came," Bakary said. "Five of the worshippers were killed and the bomber also."

[IsraelTimes] Buildings emptied after two days of phone threats which prompted evacuation of 45,000 people nationwide. No bombs found.
More than 15,000 people were evacuated Wednesday from several shopping centres, universities and train stations in Moscow after a series of bomb threats, Russian media reported.
A source in the emergency services told state-run TASS news agency that over 30 prominent locations including the famed GUM shopping centre on Red Square were temporarily emptied after anonymous telephone threats.
Interfax news agency cited a source as saying that over 15,000 people around the sprawling city were evacuated.
Neither the emergency services in Moscow nor the police could immediately confirm the incidents to AFP.
A representative for GUM told AFP that employees had been allowed back inside the building.
The spate of threats came after two days of similar calls caused disruptions in cities across Russia, with the state-run RIA Novosti news service reporting some 45,000 people were evacuated nationwide.
No bombs were found at any of the locations.
Kremlin front man Dmitry Peskov on Wednesday said the country’s intelligence services were investigating the threats.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The government of Germany has deported a group of at least eight Afghans convicted of various crimes including rape incidents.
The minister of interior for Germany’s Bavaria state Joachim Herrmann informed regarding the expulsion of the Afghan asylum seekers to Kabul today.
According to Herrmann, the men were convicted of various crimes including rape incidents with at least two of them being involved in the assault.
This comes as Germany had stopped the deportation process of the failed asylum seekers nearly four months ago.
The decision to halt the process was apparently taken after a deadly kaboom rocked Kabul city late n May this year that left more than 150 people dead and hundreds more maimed.
Several other deadly kabooms also took place after the incident including a deadly attack on a funeral in the city few days later, forcing the majority of the European countries to halt the deportation of the asylum seekers.
Hundreds of thousands of Afghans left for Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... last year amid deteriorating security situation in the country.
Scores of the migrants colonistsbit the dust on the way to Europe by going through the most dangerous routes, including the Iranian land route and the Ottoman Turkish waters.
Germany started the deportation process of the rejected asylum seekers in mid-December last year amid reports that the country is due to send back 11,900 migrants colonists back to Afghanistan.

[DailyMail] A former psychiatric patient viciously punched four passers-by then attacked three coppers while screaming Allahu Akbar in Toulouse ...lies on the banks of the River Garonne, half-way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Toulouse metropolitan area is the fourth-largest in La Belle France... today.
The enraged man, 42, began beating shoppers in the French city at around 4pm before police who were only metres away swooped in.
The assailant kicked and punched the officers before they managed to contain and arrest him.
He continued to shout Allahu Akbar - Arabic for God is Great - as he was wrestled to the ground before bursting into tears.
Footage shows the man being handcuffed and lifted on to a stretcher before being taken hospital.
One witness said: 'We were chatting and he jumped on us. He first caught my son and then beat my daughter. We just ran.'
Two of the civilian victims were taken to the Toulouse-Rangueil hospital. Three injured police were cared for by firefighters. There are no deaths reported.
French police say the alleged perpetrator was released from a psychiatric hospital in April.
[AnNahar] Romanian authorities said Wednesday they had rescued more than 150 migrants colonists in the Black Sea, the fifth such incident since August amid rising fears that a new migrant route to Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... is opening up.
Authorities said 153 people including 53 children and 51 women, many from Iraq, had been on board the vessel when conditions turned choppy off Romania's eastern coast in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday.
"The sea had been very agitated, with waves of up three metres (9.8 feet). These people were in a very dangerous situation and risked either drowning or seeing their boat sink," Cristian Cicu, a front man for the Constanta coastguard, told AFP.
AFP journalists in the Romanian port of Midia witnessed the arrival of the migrants colonists who were then sent for medical examinations before being handed over to the immigration authorities.
EU member Romania is not part of the bloc's passport-free Schengen zone and until now has largely avoided the kind of influx of refugees and migrants colonists seen elsewhere on the continent over the last few years.
But Bucharest fears that the Black Sea could become an alternative route for migrants colonists seeking a new life in Europe as the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean becomes increasingly difficult, not least since Libya has sought to restrict charities carrying out rescue missions off its shores.
Until last month, only a handful of migrants colonists had been seized in the Black Sea since the migrant crisis erupted in the summer of 2015.
But there has been a noticeable rise over the past weeks, with some 570 intercepted between August and September.
[AlMasdar] Hundreds of bandidosforces of Evil who have defected from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... have crossed the borders to southern The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... as a first step to return to their countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.
Local sources reported dozens of the former ultraconservative bandidosforces of Evil now rallying in several towns and villages in southern Turkey after making it through the borders.
The same sources confirmed that 4 Saudi Death Eaterbandidosforces of Evil have arrived at a little village in southern Turkey after paying $2000 each to smugglers.
Throughout the year, the Ottoman Turkish border guards have rubbed out scores ‐ both civilians and fighters ‐ while trying to cross the borders into Turkey.
The massive escape comes as the self-proclaimed Islamic State is increasingly losing more grounds to the Syrian Army and allied forces in central and Eastern Syria.

Obviously a Paki news source. And you can always depend on Paki news. ( if you are blind and stupid, of course.)
Paki's lose wars and we all know how brave pack soldiers are. Bangla Desh proved that. 3 million dead in just eight months, most of them unarmed civilians. FACT. They lost the war and the Indian Army took the entire country in under two weeks.
The Indian Army don't have Moslem Values, of course. That might have something to do with it. The Mighty Pak Army is geared to RUN with its tongue hanging out and its eyeball dolling when anybody shoots back and the Moslems don't do so well when they face real men instead of women and children. The Pakis don't know what else to do except run when they aren't shooting into crowds of civilians. FACT.
Ever watched a film of Paks firing machine guns from trucks into crowds of fleeing civilian? They even filmed it while they killed Hindus. A lot like watching NAZI films except it was the Paki Moslems playing the Ubermensch and the Hindus playing the jews.
The pakistani Rangers...sounds like the "encounters" with their "shutter guns" again. We know how that works and the Clowns are next.
Anbar (IraqiNews.com) An Islamic State leader was killed in an air raid carried out by the U.S.-led Coalition jets, which targeted the group’s havens in western Anbar, a security source said.
“IS leader, known as Saddam Ahmed Karrati, was killed along with big number of militants in Qaim,” the source told Alghad Press on Wednesday.
In related news, three schools were shelled by coalition jets in Qaim, another source said.
“Aerial bombardment by Coalition jets targeted three schools in al-Karabla region,” the source added.
Moreover, the source said, “IS detained 200 persons from Qaim as families were trying to escape.
Earlier on the day, a convoy of 19 families, coming from Rutba, west of Anbar, reportedly arrived at Camp 18, located west of Ramadi, while twenty other families headed toward Rutba, after escaping IS.
Previous news reports on Wednesday said the militant group executed five young people in front of their families who had been caught fleeing town of Qaim, on Anbar’s western borders with Syria, towards the city of Rutba to the east.
Anbar’s western towns of Anah, Qaim and Rawa are still held by the extremist group since 2014, when it occupied one third of Iraq to proclaim a self-styled Islamic Caliphate. Iraqi troops were able to return life back to normal in the biggest cities of Anbar including Fallujah, Ramadi and others after recapturing them.
Fighter jets from the Iraqi army and the international coalition regularly pound IS locations in the province.

Hawija (IraqiNews.com) An Iraqi air raid on Islamic State’s havens in southwestern Kirkuk killed the group’s chief “iinvestigator” and companions, intelligence sources said Wednesday.
Alsumaria News quoted the sources saying that Abu Omar al-Iraqi was killed when an Islamic State security unit was bombarded by Iraqi air forces in central Hawija, the group’s bastion in Kirkuk. Four of his companions were also killed in the raid, according to the sources.
The offensive prompted several fighters to leave their positions, the sources added.
The Iraqi government said late August that Hawija, which IS has held since 2014, was the next target of its operations against the extremist group. The government troops had, so far, recaptured Mosul, IS’s former capital, and the town of Tal Afar, west of Mosul.
On Sunday, Dubai-based Al Arabiya network many of Islamic State’s senior leaders had fled Hawija along with their families. It also said more than 15 U.S. army vehicles deployed at al-Farraj, a region 90 kilometers southeast of Mosul on the borders with Kirkuk, preparing to back up Iraqi forces in their anticipated offensives.
The United Nations had predicted at least 114.000 civilians to flee Hawija as the battle starts.
Last week, Yahia Rasoul, spokesperson of the Iraqi Joint Operations Command, said there were 2000 Islamic State militants inside Hawija.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) One civilian was killed and six others were wounded, including army soldiers, on Wednesday when two bomb blasts rocked areas west and south of Baghdad, security sources were quoted saying.
Baghdad Today quoted a police source saying that an explosive device planted near brick kilns in Nahrawan, west of the capital, exploded, killing one and wounding four others.
Meanwhile, Ikhnews said two Iraqi army soldiers were wounded when an roadside bomb exploded into their patrol in Sadr al-Youssefiya, south of Baghdad.
Violence and armed conflicts left 297 Iraqis dead and wounded during the month of ِAugust, according to a monthly count by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq which excludes security members deaths. Baghdad was the most affected province with 45 deaths and 135 injuries.
The Iraqi capital has seen almost daily bombings and armed attacks against security members, paramilitary troops and civilians since the Iraqi government launched a wide-scale campaign to retake Islamic State-occupied areas in 2016. While most of of the explosions and attacks went without a claim of responsibility, Islamic State has claimed several incidents.
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Nine persons were killed and injured as a bomb blast took place in southeastern Baghdad, a police source said on Wednesday.
“An IED exploded on Wednesday evening near the industrial district in Besmaya village, located on Baghdad-Wassit road, which left a person killed and eight others wounded,” a police source told Baghdad Today.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source said, “security troops transferred the injured to nearby hospital, while the victim was taken to forensic medicine department.”
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Three persons were wounded as a mortar missile was fired in southern Baghdad, a police source said on Wednesday.
“A mortar missile fell in the evening on a residential house in al-Radwaniyah region, south of Baghdad, which left three persons wounded, as they were passing when the missile fell,” the source told Baghdad Today.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source said security troops transferred the wounded to hospital for treatment and conducted investigations to arrest the perpetrators.
Nine persons were killed and injured as a bomb blast took place in the evening near the industrial district in Besmaya village, located on Baghdad-Wasit road.
[IsraelTimes] No injuries to Israeli forces or civilians in West Bank attack at entrance of Kiryat Arba, terrorist seriously maimed.
A Paleostinian man tried to carry out a stabbing attack on Wednesday at a bus stop at the entrance to the Kiryat Arba settlement before being shot and maimed, the IDF said.
The military said the man ran toward a bus stop at the Elias Junction brandishing a knife. He was spotted by troops who opened fire, injuring him.
No Israeli civilians or soldiers were maimed, the army said, adding that he was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Hebrew media reports said he was in a serious condition.
Kiryat Arba is adjacent to the divided West Bank city of Hebron.
...Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, Central in the West Bank...
The attack came a day after Border Police officers tossed in the slammer Book 'im, Mahmoud! a Paleostinian teenager carrying a knife at a checkpoint in Hebron, the third such incident over the past week.
After being asked by police to lift his shirt ‐ where he was hiding the knife ‐ as he passed through a checkpoint near the city’s Tomb of the Patriarch’s holy site, the 15-year-old pulled the knife on the officers, who in turn aimed their weapons at him, a police spokeswoman said.
The teenager was then arrested by Border Police and taken for further questioning by security forces, the police spokeswoman said, adding that no shots were fired during the arrest.
Police said they were looking into the teenager’s motive.
On Friday, a Paleostinian man in his twenties was arrested in Hebron when he was discovered to be hiding a knife on his person, while last Wednesday Border Police officers arrested a Paleostinian teenager in the West Bank city after finding a knife in his possession.
Both of those incidents also took place at checkpoints near the Tomb of the Patriarchs.
[IsraelTimes] The Paleostinian who attempted to stab a soldier near Hebron a short time ago is identified by Paleostinian media and some Hebrew media outlets as Issa Daradat, 15, from village of Sair northeast of Hebron.
Thai security officers successfully defused a roadside bomb planted under a power pole in Narathiwat’s Sungai Padi district. The bomb was believed to have been intended to be detonated as a team of defense volunteers patroled the area in the afternoon.
The bomb in a 20-kilogram cooking cylinder placed in a green plastic bag was discovered on Wednesday morning in Tambon Paluru. The ordnance disposal team defused the bomb by shooting water from a high-pressure hose at a its radio-triggered detonator, while a device scrambled radio signals. They later disassembled the bomb and handed over the components to forensic officers and police investigators.
Pongsathorn Sonjit, who led the six-man patrol, said the team had been traveling on three motorcycles returning from protecting teachers when they spotted the bag under the power pole and alerted authorities.
[AlMasdar] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) continues to reinforce western Aleppo Governorate with armored forces; among such units can be found ever-increasing numbers of modern Russian-built T-90 main battle tanks.
Footage has been released by pro-government media showing the daily duties of an SAA T-90 tank crew who reportedly change their firing position on a regular basis in order to reduce the chance of their being hit by missiles from rebel anti-tank teams.
Often it was the case in the past that Syrian Army armor was wastefully knocked out by rebel anti-tank teams due to a given tank remaining static behind a set position for days on end, giving turban scouts time to identify its location, move an anti-tank missile launcher (such as the American-built TOW system) into firing range and engage it.
That such high-quality combat vehicles are being moved towards the west Aleppo front by the SAA also begs the question of whether or not army forces are planning an offensive operation in this region of Syria at some point in the near future.

[AlMasdar] According to a report by The Guardian, hundreds of ISIS defectors have made it from Syria across the heavily patrolled Ottoman Turkish border after paying smugglers upwards of 2,000$ for completing their journey.
With the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... imploding from all sides territorially, imported muscle whom once swore alligence to His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... have begun massing in Idlib province and eventually hope to find their back to various home countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.
For instance, The Guardian stressed that four Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... n Death Eaters arrived in southern The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... in early September. Abu Saad, a Saudi national who also fled Syria but in late August, told the Guardian that as many as 300 former ISIS members, many of them Saudis, have established a community north of Idlib city, which is now dominated by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS/Syrian al-Qaeda).
In recent months, HTS has cracked down on ISIS sleeper cells and rival rebel groups. Effectively, many former ISIS members no longer feel safe in Idlib province.
ISIS has not had an organised presence in the governorate since early 2014 when it was ousted by a rebel assault that saw its members flee to eastern and northern Syria.
[AlMasdar] A high-ranking commander of the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham was mysteriously assassinated in the northwestern province of Idlib as tensions rise amongst the jihadi group.
Abu Mohammed al-Sharie, a Saudi national who holds a senior position in HTS, was left dead with a bullet in his head in the city of Saraqib, located to the east of the historic provincial capital.
This comes two days after the notorious Saudi holy man Abdullah al-Muhaysini resigned as the group’s religious judge, citing transgressions against its Shariah Committee and his being unable to change "errors" he witnessed and bloodshed and infighting.
Following the resignation, several factions affiliated with the al-Qaeda-linked organization defected, marking a mass blow to what is widely considered the strongest and most well-organized rebel group in the war-torn Syria.
Syrian Arab Army units continued operations to secure the perimeter of Deir Ezzor Military Airport and Regiment 137, in conjunction with concentrated operations to eliminate ISIL terrorists form the province’s southeastern countryside.
SANA’s correspondent said that an army unit that established control over al-Thurda Mountains and met with the Airport’s garrison a few days ago is carrying out demining in the area and securing and clearing landing strips in preparation to resuming safe takeoff and landing operations at the Airport.
The correspondent said the Syrian Air Force conducted several sorties targeting movements and positions of ISIL in al-Jnaina, al-Maryaiya, and al-Beghailiya villages, killing and injuring many terrorists and destroying their fortified positions.
Meanwhile, local sources in the province’s western countryside said that more ISIS terrorists have fled the area, including ISIL’s “agriculture minister” Abdelrahman Okla al-Aref and one of the leaders of the terror organization’s “Islamic police” Okla al-Aref.
Homs
Meanwhile, units of army regained control on the villages of Um Rajm, Nazal Farm, Shleilat, Amoudyiah, Rasm Sawanah and center of fodders in Homs eastern countryside.
Earlier, army units, in cooperation with the supporting forces, continued pursuing groups of ISIS terrorists in the eastern countryside of Homs province. regaining control over the towns of Zagroutiyeh, Darwishiyeh, Lwaibdeh, Ghuniman, and Umm Sagh with a front of 12km and a depth of 6km to the north of Manoukh in Jib al-Jarrah area.
A military source told SANA that the army operations left a number of ISIL terrorists dead, in addition to destroying their weapons and equipment, including armored vehicles and machinegun-equipped cars.
Engineering units dismantled the landmines and explosive devices which ISIL terrorists had planted in the roads and the squares of the aforementioned towns, the source added.
Later, the source said that army units restored control over Unk al-Hawa, Um al-Tababin and al-Khan villages and continued chasing the remnants of the ISIS terrorists in the eastern countryside of Homs.
[AlMasdar] The liberated Al-Sha’er Gas Fields in the northeastern countryside of the Homs Governorate have begun to pump fuel again after being out of commission for several years due to war, a Syrian government source told Al-Masdar News this afternoon.
According to the government source, the Al-Sha’er gas fields are now pumping up to 1 million meters squared of fuel a day; thus, ending the fuel crisis that was plaguing Syria for years.
The Al-Sha’er Gas Fields were liberated from the so-called Islamic State (ISIL) forces by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) earlier this year.

DEIR EZZOR: After breaking a Daesh blockade, the Syrian regime’s army is seeking to encircle the remaining terrorist-held parts of Deir Ezzor city, a military source said Wednesday.
The city is the capital of oil-rich eastern Deir Ezzor province, regarded as a strategic prize by both Russian-backed Syrian regime troops and US-backed fighters.
In Damascus Wednesday, President Bashar Assad said the country was “advancing steadily toward victory thanks to the sacrifices of its army, the determination of its people and the support of its allies,” state news agency SANA said.
Last week, the Syrian regime army and allied fighters broke a yearslong Daesh siege of Deir Ezzor, entering two regime-held sections of the city that had been cut off from each other.
Since then, the army has brought reinforcements to the city and is seeking to oust Daesh from eastern neighborhoods that run along the Euphrates river, which slices diagonally through the province.
“The army is seeking to encircle Daesh from three sides by controlling the parts of the western bank of the Euphrates river,” the source told AFP.
Troops would target riverside territory on the city’s northwestern edges as well as strategic areas on its southern outskirts, including the key military airport and the village of Al-Jafra, on the banks of the Euphrates.
The operation seeks to “oust Daesh from the city and the province completely,” the military source said.
Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor, also reported that “fierce fighting has been ongoing since yesterday as the army seeks to expel the militants and reach the western bank of the Euphrates.”
If the army captures Al-Jafra, “Deir Ezzor will be encircled from three sides, so Daesh will have no way out except the Euphrates which is within firing range of regime artillery and Russian warplanes,” he added.
As the Syrian army backed by Russian air support battles Daesh in Deir Ezzor, a separate offensive by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces is under way on the eastern side of the province.
The operation by the alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters began over the weekend, but the SDF has said it was not coordinating the fight with the regime.
Airstrikes by Russian and US-led coalition warplanes in support of the separate offensives have killed dozens of civilians in recent days.
On Wednesday, the Observatory said suspected US-led coalition strikes on several parts of eastern Deir Ezzor province overnight and throughout the day killed 12 people.
On Tuesday, the monitor reported 35 people killed in Russian and US-led strikes on either side of the Euphrates.
More than 330,000 people have been killed in Syria since the conflict began in March 2011 with anti-regime protests.

[AnNahar] Syrian opposition activists and witnesses said Tuesday that several thousand Syrians stranded on the border with Jordan have fled one makeshift camp for another, running from shelling and nearby fighting between Syrian rebels and government forces.
A Jordanian official confirmed that residents of Hadalat camp in the remote desert of southeastern Syria "were moved." He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue with news hounds.
Fighting in southwestern Syria ebbed in recent weeks, after a cease-fire deal brokered by the U.S., Russia and Jordan in July. At the same time, Syrian government troops have been advancing in the southeast, close to the borders with Jordan and Iraq.
Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Tuesday that civilians and armed rebels began leaving Hadalat at the beginning of September.
Syrian troops have been advancing in the southeast, "taking area after area," and Hadalat residents fled because government forces were getting closer, said Abdurrahman, whose group relies on a network of activists across Syria.
Hadalat had sheltered some 5,000 people, including relatives of rebels from two groups affiliated with the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... , a Western-backed coalition fighting to overthrow Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Oppressor of the Syrians and the Lebs... Rebel militias helped evacuate Hadalat's civilians, all of whom had fled by the end of last week, according to rebel officials and displaced residents.
Most civilians fled to the larger border camp of Rukban further to the east, with population estimates there ranging from the U.N's 45,000 to double that figure.
The number of displaced Syrians on Jordan's border had been rising since the kingdom began restricting entry in 2014. Residents of the tent camps on the border have endured severe hardships, including harsh weather and scarce food, water and medical aid.
Jordan closed the border formally in 2016, after an Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... boom-mobile launched from near Rukban killed seven Jordanian border guards.
Mohammed al-Adnan, a front man for the Tribal Army, a Jordan-backed Syrian militia, said Tuesday that all civilians had left Hadalat and that only some gunnies remained there.
A Hadalat resident said that after shelling increased, he paid $400 to get his family of six on a truck out of the camp.
"We paid everything we had to get out," the 41-year-old said from Rukban.
"If the people here at the Jordanian border don't die from bombs, they will die from hunger and thirst," he said, referring to the dire conditions in isolated Rukban, which is now struggling to absorb several thousand more people.
Another displaced Hadalat resident said his family of eight doesn't even have a tent in Rukban. "We don't have any of the basics for living," said the 39-year-old.
Both displaced residents spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of repercussions from Syrian authorities.
The U.N. refugee agency's attempts to deliver aid to the border camps from Jordan have been disrupted frequently since the 2016 border closure.
The agency's Jordan office said Tuesday that it will keep trying to deliver aid, but did not say how this might work at a time when front lines in the area are shifting.
Mohammad Darbas al-Khalidi, a local leader in Rukban, said no aid has reached the camp for three months. He said he believes camp residents are unlikely to return to government-controlled areas of Syria, even if the situation in Rukban worsens.

[Iraq News] Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... Lions of Islam have executed five young people in front of their families who had been caught fleeing the group’s havens in western Anbar towards security-held areas.
Alghad Press quoted a local source saying that three families, mostly women, were caught by the Lions of Islam fleeing the town of Qaim, on Anbar’s western borders with Syria, towards the city of Rutba to the east.
The Lions of Islam brought the civilians back into Qaim and executed five young people in front of their families, according to the source.
Islamic State Lions of Islam have systematically executed civilians fleeing areas they had taken over since 2014. Many other civilians were also executed for contacting security forces. Recent reports from Anbar have also said that the Lions of Islam had forcibly recruited young people to fight for the group.
Anbar (IraqiNews.com) Over thirty families fled Islamic State’s havens to other places in the same province of Anbar, security sources said.
Speaking to Alghad Press on Wednesday, the source said, a convoy of 19 families, coming from Rutba, west of Anbar, arrived at Camp 18, located west of Ramadi.
The families, composed of 115 persons, were able to flee IS militants, the source, who preferred anonymity, added.
In related news, twenty other families headed toward Rutba, after escaping IS, another source from Anbar, told Alghad Press.
“More than twenty families escaped toward al-Nazera region, Rutba,” the source said,
“The families are still waiting to be checked. They were transferred to Camp 18,” the source added, giving no more details.
News reports, earlier on the day, said the militant group executed five young people in front of their families who had been caught fleeing town of Qaim, on Anbar’s western borders with Syria, towards the city of Rutba to the east.
Anbar’s western towns of Anah, Qaim and Rawa are still held by the extremist group since 2014, when it occupied one third of Iraq to proclaim a self-styled Islamic Caliphate. Iraqi troops were able to return life back to normal in the biggest cities of Anbar including Fallujah, Ramadi and others after recapturing them.
Fighter jets from the Iraqi army and the international coalition regularly pound IS locations in the province.
Hawija (IraqiNews.com) Islamic State executed one of its prominent leaders and detained three others in Hawija, southwest of Kirkuk, a paramilitary official said expecting bloody conflicts to occur within the group in short time.
“We have confirmed news that IS executed abu Moussa al-Shami, a prominent leader in the countryside of Hawija, over reluctance. He was shot to death,” Jabbar al-Maamouri, of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) told AlSumaria News on Wednesday.
“The group detained three other Arab nationals over the same accusation,” according to Maamouri, who expected “bloody conflicts to break out within the group due to the chaotic situation prevailing in the group.”
Earlier on the day, the group’s chief “investigator”, Abu Omar al-Iraqi , and four of his companions were reportedly killed in an air raid by Iraqi fighter jets.
Hawija and other neighboring regions, west of Kirkuk, have been held by IS since mid-2014, when the group emerged to proclaim an Islamic “caliphate” in Iraq and Syria. The group executed dozens of civilians and security members there, forcing thousands to flee homes.
Further reinforcements from the Federal Police were sent earlier this month from Baghdad to the town, as the military command declared, late August, the end of operations in Tal Afar, the militants’ last haven west of Nineveh, and the approach of the launch of offensives for Hawija.
Spokesperson of the Iraqi Joint Operations Command Yehia Rasool said, last week, there were 2000 IS militants inside Hawija.
