Ali stabbed Amess with a carving knife multiple times on Oct.15 while he was meeting with voters at a church hall in the town of Leigh-on-Sea in eastern England. Ali, a London man with Somali heritage, said he targeted Amess because he backed voting for airstrikes on Syria in 2014 and 2015.

[IsraelTimes] Clashes erupt in Husan after Qusay Hamamra killed by IDF troops; Israeli who drove into West Bank town reportedly escapes unscathed after protesters stone, set fire to car
A Paleostinian teen was rubbed out by Israeli troops in the West Bank town of Husan on Wednesday night, after he allegedly hurled a Molotov cocktail at forces.

In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces said Hamamra hurled a Molotov cocktail at troops who were operating in the area.
"In response, IDF forces fired at the suspect. A hit was identified," the statement read.
The military said festivities erupted at the scene, and troops responded with riot dispersal means. Paleostinian reports said Hamamra’s body was taken by the military.
Paleostinian media also reported that an Israeli car came under attack by Paleostinians in the town shortly after Hamamra was killed. Footage showed several suspects hurling objects at a car, which then went up in flames, but there was no immediate information from officials on the incident. According to Hebrew-language media reports, the Israeli driver managed to escape unscathed.

The escalation has come amid the Moslem holy month of Ramadan — often a period of high tension in Israel and the West Bank. The army has stepped up its West Bank activities in an attempt to crack down on the spiraling violence.

Members of the Ottoman Turkish-backed Jaish al-Nukhba faction cut down 35 olive trees owned by residents of villages in Maabatli district in Afrin countryside, an exclusive source told North Press.
The member of the Ottoman Turkish-backed faction cut down 35 olive trees belonging to Muhammad Issa, a resident of the village of Ain al-Hajar in Maabatli district, the source said.
He added that the olive field is located on the road to Rajo district, near the military police checkpoint at the northern entrance to the city of Afrin.
Also, members of the same faction cut down 25 olive trees owned by Mustafa Sido, a resident of Shekhutka village in the countryside of Maabatli district, according to the same source.
Logging and cutting down trees in Afrin increase in winter, despite the opposition groups’ pledging to prevent this practice fearing accountability.
As a result of the Ottoman Turkish invasion of Afrin in March 2018, more than 300,000 indigenous people were displaced and thousands families of the Syrian opposition factions were settled in the Afrini’s homes and lands.
Afrin is one of the most important Syrian regions known for olive growing, where the number of olive trees until the end of 2017 reached more than 18 million, 16 million of which were productive, according to the approved toll by Autonomous Administration in Afrin at the time.

In a statement released yesterday, Ahrar al-Jabal gathering called for trying criminals and those involved with them of the Syrian government security services members.
"We rejected and are still rejecting injustice and corruption by the factional regime that marginalized the free-thought people with experience in running affairs of society and the state, and displaced and killed our sons and brothers," read the statement that was publicized by Sheikh Sulieman Abdulbaqi, a leader of the gathering, on his Facebook account.
Ahrar al-Jabal gathering was established following the popular movement Suwayda witnessed in early February demanding a democratic and just state, revealing fate of detainees, ending corruption, and fighting drugs’ traders.
"We reject killing, chaos and crime in Suwayda governorate particularly and throughout Syria, as we call for trying criminals and those involved with them of the government security services," the statement added.
The statement called on Syrians to band together to reach a "Syrian democratic just state based on separation of power without partisan, sectarian or ethnic discrimination and adopting the principle that religion to God and the homeland for everyone and without a monopoly of power."
