[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... militias have shelled the Ashrafiya Mosque in Taiz on Sunday using a Howitzer artillery further damaging the historical relic which they shelled twice before.
Locals said Houthis were targeting a house near the mosque when they seriously damaged the latter’s minaret.
Citizens have called for saving this mosque and accused the Houthis of intentionally damaging the country’s historical ruins and of not respecting the mosque’s sanctity.
The Ashrafiya Mosque, which was built by Sultan Ashraf Ismail bin Abbas in 800 hijri, is one of the most famous relics in Taiz given its beautiful design.
The government finished restoration works in the mosque in July 2014, few months before the Houthis staged its coup against legitimacy.
In addition to a prayer hall, the mosque also has a school and has a burial yard where some of kings from the Rasulid dynasty that ruled Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... are buried.

[Ynet] Umm al-Fahm residents, including a minor, tossed in the calaboose Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! on suspicion of planning shooting attack on holy site; forces of Evil also considered attacking Christians on Christmas.
Three Israeli Arabs were indicted Tuesday for planning to carry out a shooting attack on the Temple Mount after an investigation revealed that two of them supported 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.... , and that the attack was intended to be carried out as part of their support of the terror group.
The defendants‐Mohammad Masoud Jabarin, 20, Ammad Lutfi Jabarin, 20, and an additional 17-year-old minor were arrested in January and February and are Umm al-Fahm
...home of the outlawed northern branch of the Islamic Movement, the Israeli branch of the Muslim Brotherhood...
residents.
According to the Shin Bet investigation, the three planned to carry out a shooting attack at the compound similar to that which had been perpetrated on July 14 last year which claimed the lives of two Israeli Border Police officers.
The attack was prevented thanks to precise intelligence that allowed the three to be arrested before they could obtain weapons and carry out their plan.
The investigation also showed the three had entertained the idea of carrying out attacks in synagogues and churches or against security forces. They also considered carrying out a vehicular attack and marked Christmas as the potential date for their bloodletting.
The Shin Bet said in a statement that it considered "Israelis supporting the Islamic State terror group a serious threat, and even more so those in contact with the group's activists and those who act under the group's banner in Israel.
"The Shin Bet will continue monitoring the suspects and take whichever law enforcement measures are required to prevent the dissemination of the Islamic State's teachings in Israel, as well as to foil any action against the country's security."

[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian protesters in the West Bank inadvertently burned down a local factory this week while confronting IDF soldiers near the West Bank city of Nablus.
According to Hadashot news, protesters in the Nablus-area village of Beita on Sunday were clashing with IDF soldiers, and rolled burning tires in their direction.
But one flaming tire had other plans and changed direction, rolling directly into a nearby plastics factory.
The building went up in flames and the factory was completely destroyed.
Clearly Allah did not approve, and made his displeasure clear.
The report said Israeli firefighters arrived at the scene to help Paleostinian Authority responders put out the fire.
The Nablus area has seen low-level festivities between Israeli security forces and Paleostinian protesters after an illegally built Jewish settlement outpost in the area sparked tensions.
The makeshift homes in the outpost called Evyatar were dismantled by the army last week.
So there was nothing left to protest, but they chose to do so anyway.
[IsraelTimes] Army says predawn detentions came in response to increase in violent riots, rock-throwing attacks coming from the West Bank village.
The Israeli military conducted a predawn raid in the restive Paleostinian village of Nebi Saleh on Monday, arresting nine residents, the army said.
According to the left-wing B’Tselem human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you... group, among the detainees was 15-year-old Muhammad Tamimi, who was apparently shot in the face with a rubber bullet by an IDF soldier late last year and whose cousin Ahed Tamimi
...who along with siblings and young cousins have made a hobby of being videotaped screaming at Israeli soldiers, no doubt urged on by her Papa, Bassem Tamimi, who is a well-known Fatah activist...
is currently on trial for slapping an IDF soldier in December.
According to the army, in a total of nine suspects were tossed in the calaboose Book 'im, Mahmoud! from the village for participating in violent demonstrations or taking part in "popular terrorism," a catch-all term used by Israel to signify throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at Israeli troops or roadways.
The army said the raid was conducted "in light of the increase in the number of riots and popular terrorist acts coming from the village of Nebi Saleh."
Elsewhere in the West Bank, IDF forces arrested seven other Paleostinian suspects believed to have taken part in violent protests or rock throwing attacks and seized thousands of shekels in the city of Bethlehem earmarked to fund terror activities, the army said.
The military would not confirm that Muhammad Tamimi was among those arrested.
[Ynet] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... deployed police special forces to the northwestern Syrian region of Afrin on Monday for a "new battle" in its five-week campaign against the Kurdish YPG militia, despite a UN call at the weekend for a ceasefire across Syria.
Ottoman Turkish forces and their Syrian rebel allies, supported by Ottoman Turkish air strikes, have pushed the Kurdish fighters back from most of Turkey's border with Afrin since they launched their assault on Jan. 20.
"The entrance of the special forces is in preparation for the new battle that is approaching," Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag told NTV broadcaster.
Dogan news agency reported that gendarmerie and police special forces teams entered Afrin from two places to the northwest of the region, saying they would take part in urban fighting and holding villages which Ottoman Turkish forces have seized

Turkey is sending in germdanes or "special forces" who were instrumental in the Kurdish areas of Turkey for brutal reprisals against the Kurds. But the YPG is not the same as the PKK.
Turkish war ships have surrounded Cyprus.
In another part of Syria where Syrian Government forces supported by Russia were involved in a fight with ISIS. ISIS took 100 civilian hostages and Putin with Syria suspended the assault so as not to harm the civilians per a report from the area.

[Ynet] An air strike by the US-led coalition against Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Counting body parts, searching for life under the rubble, escaping bomb sites for fear of a second attack, and having nothing to eat. This is a day in the life of doctors in Syria’s eastern Ghouta.
A series of haunting testimonies by medical staff currently in the bomb-battered rebel enclave has revealed they are failing to keep up with the intensity of regime strikes.
More than 630 people have been killed and 3,300 maimed since Feb. 18, according to the latest under-estimated figures provided to Al Arabiya English by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
There are reports of doctors and nurses collapsing as their medical response reaches its limits, with hospitals and field clinics routinely becoming targets.
Below are the testimonials of MSF-supported staff currently in Ghouta. Their names have been protected.
Male medical assistant ‐ working in a health clinic ‐ 23 February
"Our medical point was bombed. We relocated to another place. That place also got bombed. That second time, the rescuers and others around the area rushed in to excavate people from under the rubble and that’s when a second bombing happened on that same spot, just when the people were all gathered there. We had around 100 people maimed and no working facility."
Female doctor ‐ manager of a major field hospital ‐ 24 February
"If you count the hundreds of bodies, the ones alive, and the ones dead; the body parts; there is nothing we can do for them. Even if we had enough supplies, there’s nothing we can do to answer to such a huge number of people. It’s not so much medical supplies that we need from you, but your help in stopping the bombing."
"We cannot transfer any patients out of our hospital. Any person, on foot or in a car, in the streets, will surely die. We are even unable to refer patients that need intensive care to the Intensive Care Unit that is 5km away. We are obliged to keep them here, and here we do not have respiratory masks. We are resorting to the use of manual ventilators, and so each patient permanently needs somebody to operate that ventilator. With so many patients coming it’s impossible - we are losing so many patients because of the shortages we have. Patients would have a chance if we could refer them 5km to the ICU, but with the intensity of the bombing we can’t."
