The sources confirmed that the GNA’s militias with 100 armed vehicles have already reached the town of al-Jumayl north of al-Watiyah, while Grad vehicles and howitzers are stationed outside the area.
According to the agency, the attack will have a heavy drone air and artillery cover from three axes, mainly the northern axis in the town of Aqrabiyyah, which leads to Zirir area and then to the main gate and the only entrance of al-Watiyah

[AnNahar] Portugal is to take up to 60 unaccompanied children from Greek refugee camps, according to Socialist Party politician Isabel Santos, as concern mounts over the impact of the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... outbreak on the vulnerable group.
The children are expected to arrive in Portugal within the next few weeks, Santos was cited by local news agency Lusa as saying during an online conference to celebrate Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... Day. The member of the European Parliament did not specify a date.
At least 5,200 unaccompanied minors live in Greece, many of them under harsh conditions in camps on islands in the Aegean.
Human Rights Watch said the Greek authorities had not done enough to address the "overcrowding and lack of health care, access to adequate water, sanitation, and hygiene products" in the camps to limit the spread of coronavirus.
Portugal, which has reported 27,406 cases of the virus, with 1,126 deaths, said it was willing to take in some children as part of a voluntary European scheme to relocate around 1,600. Other countries, including Germany, Ireland, La Belle France and Luxembourg, are also involved in the initiative.
The first relocations took place last month when 12 minors were transferred to Luxembourg, since when Germany has received around 50 children.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants colonists and refugees fleeing conflicts and poverty in countries such as Syria have used Greece as a springboard to gain entry to other European countries.
In February, tens of thousands of migrants colonists tried to enter Greece after The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor... said it would no longer prevent them from doing so.
Turkey now hosts about 3.4 million refugees and migrants colonists, while Greece has about 120,000 who are waiting for asylum applications to be processed.

[The News (Pak)] AJK President Sardar Masood Khan said India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as well as its occupation forces and intelligence agencies, were hatching a plot against Pakistain and the Kashmiri people.
In a statement issued Sunday from the AJK Presidential Secretariat, Khan said India's occupation forces took advantage of the world’s focus on the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic and diversion of attention from the ongoing genocide in Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... , to intensify killing of the valley's youth and escalate the situation along the LoC.
In the past month, he continued, the Indian forces had killed more than 40 young men from Indian Kashmire in staged encounters. "These are all extrajudicial killings and crimes against humanity," he said.
The president added that the occupation authorities, however, did not expect reactions to their murderous campaign in the occupied territory.
[France24] Iran says it is ready for unconditional prisoner swap talks with the United States because of fears that the coronavirus could put the lives of the prisoners at risk, Iranian media reported Sunday.
An Iranian news website, Khabaronline.ir, quoted Cabinet spokesman Ali Rabiei as saying there is a "readiness for all prisoners" to be discussed without condition.
"But the U.S. has refused to answer, so far," said Rabiei. "We hope that as the outbreak of the Covid-19 disease threatens the lives of Iranian citizens in the U.S. prisons, the U.S. government eventually will prefer lives to politics."
Rabiei said Iran considers the U.S. government responsible for the health of the Iranian prisoners, adding that "it seems that the U.S. has more readiness to bring the situation to an end."
Rabiei did not elaborate but Iranian media in recent months said there are several Iranians in U.S. custody, including Sirous Asgari, a 60-year-old university professor.
Last week, U.S. officials said they were making progress in efforts to secure the release of a detained Navy veteran in Iran. But they were also pushing back on Iranian suggestions that a swap was in the works for the imprisoned Iranian American officials have been trying to deport since last year.
Ken Cuccinelli, the acting deputy Homeland Security secretary, said Wednesday that the cases of American detainee Michael White in Iran and Asgari, the Iranian imprisoned in the United States, have never been connected. He expressed frustration with recent comments from Iranian officials that there may be a link between the two and complained that Iran had been slow to accept Asgari’s return.

Sifting through all the garbage reporting, a missile, launched from the Jamaran (frigate) hit a support vessel Konarak. Konarak was positioning targets for Jamaran "but remained too close to one of them and was accidentally targeted, state-run media said."
Sounds like 'maybe' missile shifted lock after launch or just incompetent targeting. Also sounds like many kilometers spacing needed between target and target placer.

So the Jamaran now has the record of the highest tonnage sunk for an Iranian warship in the 21st Century? Do they get to paint a silhouette on the command tower?
[AA.TR] The US and La Belle France are preparing to use the Kurdish National Council (KNC) in Syria as a cover to create an international representation space for the YPG/PKK terrorist organization in northern Syria.
The US and La Belle France, which mediated negotiations between the YPG/PKK and KNC, have emerged with a new request, according to information obtained by Anadolu Agency (AA) from opposition Kurdish groups.
The two countries have asked the KNC to resign from the membership of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces.
The countries commissioned the leader of Iraq's Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) Nechirvan Barzani since he was the biggest supporter of the KNC.
The US and La Belle France suggested if the KNC got separated from the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, the umbrella organization will lose its capacity of representing Kurdish people.
Therefore, they suggested that a new structure, which will be established in northern Syria, will represent Kurds in the international community.
The plan enables YPG/PKK to participate in political processes in the international arena, which has not been included until now, by using the new structure.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch shot Black Bart's knife out of his hand...... the KNC refuted Saturday the allegations that it had left the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces.
The negotiations, which lasted for about a month in Hasakah, a Syrian province under the YPG/PKK occupation, were held between delegations determined by Ferhat Abdi Sirin, codenamed Mazlum Abdi, a prominent YPG/PKK ringleader, and Nechirvan Barzani.
Especially with the initiatives of the US, La Belle France and Irbil government, the YPG/PKK has fulfilled the conditions for the opening of offices for the KNC, the release of the KNC members who have been held, and their free movement in the region.
During the negotiations, which have been intensified by the initiatives of the US and La Belle France over the past week, the parties have largely agreed on the so-called joint administration.
The only remaining problem was the returning of the peshmergas loyal to the KNC in northern Iraq, to the areas under the YPG/PKK occupation.
The return of the peshmergas has been postponed for now, and it was decided to put into operation the so-called joint administration as soon as possible, according to information obtained by Anadolu Agency from the sources participating in the negotiations.
After occupying northern Syria, the YPG/PKK prevented activities of members of the opposition KNC, liquidated its armed elements and arrested many of KNC’s political members. The terrorist organization had also locked the KNC offices.
For many years, the KNC has been known for its closeness to the Kurdish Democratic Party, led by Masoud Barzani. Some parties under the KNC operate with the financial support and the protection of the Barzani family.
[ALMARSAD.CO] A member of the Syrian parliament Mohammed Fawwaz said that the Ottoman Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan knows exactly the "scorpions", or the terrorism and mercenaries he has nurtured which one day will sting him. Erdogan has decided to rid his borders of it and invest it in Libya instead for political and economic gains.
