IS-Somalia Maintains Mobile Low-Intensity Activity in Al-Miskaat.
IS-Somalia continues to demonstrate a mobile, low-intensity presence across parts of the Al-Miskaat region. A daytime movement was reported near Tisjiic (Bari) at around 12:45 PM, consistent with previously observed movement patterns in Daray-Madoobe area.
Tisjiic lies approximately 90 km southeast of Bosaso and around 30 km off the Bosaso–Galkacyo main route, placing it within a semi-remote corridor with occasional operational relevance.
Reports indicate that IS fighters briefly encountered a nomadic household, forcing them to prepare food before withdrawing ahead of approaching local forces. The early withdrawal may suggest situational awareness of security movement or informal local alert mechanisms, though this remains unconfirmed.

Troops under Operation WUTAN DAJI have cleared several bandits’ camps, rescued kidnapped victims and recovered arms during clearance operations in Bauchi State.
Security sources said troops of 33 Artillery Brigade Garrison, in conjunction with elements of the Brigade Headquarters and a team from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), carried out the operation in Kumbodoro forest and Kumbodoro village.
According to the sources, the operation was led by the Commander, 33 Artillery Brigade, Brig.-Gen. S.S. Shehu, as part of ongoing efforts to rid the area of criminal elements.
They added that several bandits’ camps, including Azuge camps, were cleared during the operation, while a number of the criminals were neutralised.
[IsraelTimes] The US State Department issues a $10 million reward for the leader of an Iran-backed militia in Iraq.
The bounty is placed on Ahmad al-Hamidawi, secretary general of the Iran-backed militia Kataeb Hezbollah.
In a post on X, in which it publishes al-Hamidawi’s photograph, the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program writes that the group is “responsible for attacks on US diplomatic facilities in Iraq, the kidnapping of US citizens, and the killing of innocent Iraqi civilians.
Last month, Kataeb Hezbollah kidnapped an American journalist, Shelly Kittleson, in Baghdad, but released her several days later on condition that she leave the country. Officials with the group at the time told The Associated Press that in exchange, the Iraqi government would release several members of the militia who had been previously detained.
The group is also responsible for the kidnapping of Israeli Elizabeth Tsurkov, who was freed last year after 2.5 years in captivity.

I don't suppose any of the SpecOPS guys in country can collect.
[IsraelTimes] A Hamas operative who participated in the deadliest attack on Israeli troops during the IDF’s ground offensive in the Gaza Strip was killed in a strike last week, the military announces.
The strike last Monday had targeted several armed Hamas members who the military says approached the Yellow Line and planned an “imminent” attack on troops stationed in central Gaza.
“The terrorists posed a real threat to IDF troops and were therefore targeted in precise strikes,” the military says.
The IDF says it can now confirm that among those killed was Yousef Ibrahim Mahmoud Beshiti, a Hamas operative part of a cell that launched an attack on troops on January 22, 2024, in an incident that left 21 soldiers dead.
The Hamas operatives fired RPGs at the troops, hitting a tank and setting off mines that were rigged to demolish two buildings. It was the deadliest incident during the IDF’s ground offensive in Gaza.
In addition, the IDF says the strike killed at least six other Hamas operatives, including a member of the terror group’s elite Nukhba Force, a cell commander, and a Hamas police officer.
The tunnels on the eastern, Israeli-held side of the Yellow Line in total spanned some 800 meters, the IDF says.
The military says the tunnels contained rooms where Hamas operatives would reside, along with mines and other explosive material used by Hamas to build bombs.
Earlier today, troops of the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade spotted a “terrorist near the Yellow Line who approached forces operating in the northern Gaza Strip and posed a threat to them,” the military says.
Yesterday, troops of the Gaza Division spotted several armed Hamas operatives in the Strip’s center, according to the IDF.
“In both incidents, immediately after identification, IDF forces struck and eliminated the terrorists to remove the threat,” the IDF says.
[IsraelTimes] Police say they arrested a Palestinian man earlier today on suspicion of stabbing and lightly injuring a 17-year-old in the West Bank.
Officers nabbed the suspect after reaching the site of the stabbing in Mishor Adumim, an industrial area east of Jerusalem. The alleged assailant is from al-Eizariya, a West Bank Palestinian village just a few miles away from the scene.
The circumstances of the incident remain unclear and the investigation is ongoing, police say.
According to the ultra-Orthodox Kikar HaShabbat news site, the teen is a shepherd who had been herding his flock in the area when attacked by three Palestinians.
A police spokesperson confirms that searches are ongoing for additional suspects.
[IsrelTimes] Four men are accused in the Haifa District Court of creating explosive material intended for terror bombings on the orders of an Iranian agent, marking one of the most severe Iran-linked security cases uncovered so far by authorities.
Only the central suspect, 22-year-old Ami Gaydarov, is alleged to have been in direct contact with the agent. The Haifa resident was arrested in March on suspicion of producing at least 10 kilograms (22 lbs) of TATP, an easy-to-make powder often used in terror bombings.
”Mix it up in the bathtub of your mother.”
Prosecutors in the State Attorney’s Office write that the young man even volunteered to build an improvised explosive device (IED) with the powder and carry out a suicide bombing, but his handler rejected the suggestion.
Jacketwallahs are single use critters. It’s a Sunni thing — Shiites are more frugal with their tools, going for reusability.
The three other men are charged in a separate indictment with assisting in the purchase, production and testing of the volatile material.
According to the indictment, Gaydarov agreed to create the explosive material while aware that it “was intended for use against a public figure, whose identity is unknown, and for the purpose of an explosion at a bus stop or another place where people were liable to be hurt.”
Hebrew media reported last week that the public figure in question is former prime minister Naftali Bennett, but an official in the State Attorney’s Office was not able to confirm, saying this did “not emerge in the investigation material.”
Though the TATP was never used, Gaydarov buried approximately 2 kilograms of the powder in a hole which he then covered up, and sent the location of the material to his handler, presumably for later use by another Iranian agent.
On top of manufacturing explosives, Gaydarov is also accused of passing information to his handler that served Iran’s war aims. He allegedly took photos of the Haifa Port and naval base in an effort to locate the American aircraft carrier that docked there, and sent live updates to his handler about missile impacts in his area.
According to police, Gaydarov received a total of NIS 70,000 ($23,000) in exchange for the tasks he carried out, most of it in the form of cryptocurrency.
🚨 IDF strikes Hezbollah sites in Aadshit, southern Lebanon
The IDF says it carried out a wave of overnight airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in the town of Aadshit in southern Lebanon.
According to the military, the strikes followed identified increased Hezbollah activity in the area.
The IDF says Hezbollah has launched around 130 rockets from Aadshit since March 2, targeting both IDF forces in southern Lebanon and northern Israeli areas, particularly Kiryat Shmona.
Targets hit reportedly included weapon depots, rocket launchers, and Hezbollah command sites, with several operatives killed, including individuals allegedly planning attacks against Israel.
[IsraelTimes] Sgt. Maj (res.) Ayal Uriel Bianco, 30, named as deceased, three others injured in apparent accident; separately, battalion commander seriously hurt; terror group keeps up rocket fire on Israel’s north
An Israel Defense Forces reservist was killed and three were maimed when a Humvee overturned in southern Leb ...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.... on Sunday night, and ten paratroopers were maimed in a clash with Hezbollah button men, the military announced.
And on Tuesday, the IDF said a battalion commander was seriously hurt in southern Lebanon.
The dear departed soldier in Sunday’s incident was named on Monday morning as Sgt. Maj (res.) Ayal Uriel Bianco, 30, a firetruck driver in the 188th Armored Brigade, from Katzrin.
Three other reservists were maimed in the same incident, one of them moderately and the other two lightly, and were evacuated for medical care, the IDF said.
The circumstances of the apparent accident are under investigation by the military.
"Eyal was a regular soldier before the reserves for several years; when he was called to service, he always came," Katzrin Mayor Yehuda Dua wrote on Facebook. "That’s who he was, a man of the country, a person who gave his all to others; when it came to the country, he was the first to report to duty."
Separately, ten soldiers were maimed, three of them seriously, during a clash with three Hezbollah button men in the southern Lebanon town of Bint Jebil overnight, the military said Monday. The soldiers of the Pararoopers Brigade’s 101st Battalion were taken to a hospital and their families were notified, the army said. Three of the paratroopers were listed at death's door, one was in moderate condition, and six were lightly hurt, according to the IDF.
The military said that the paratroopers returned fire, and, along with tank shelling and Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s, killed two of the Hezbollah button men. The third Hezbollah operative attempted to flee from the area later in the morning, and a short while after he was identified, he was targeted and killed in a strike, the IDF added.
In another incident, three Hezbollah operatives, including a member of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, surrendered to IDF troops in Bint Jbeil on Sunday, the military said. The IDF said that soldiers of the Givati Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit had exchanged fire "from a close range" with a Hezbollah cell in Bint Jbeil, hitting the terror operatives.
"At the end of the battle, three murderous Moslems threw down their weapons and surrendered to the troops," the IDF said, adding that they were taken to Israel to be interrogated by the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504, which specializes in human intelligence.
Bint Jbeil, a Hezbollah stronghold, has been the focus of IDF operations in southern Lebanon in recent days.
On Tuesday night, the military announced that the commander of the 401st Armored Brigade’s 52nd Battalion was severely maimed during "operational activity" in southern Lebanon earlier in the day. The IDF said the circumstances under which the officer, a lieutenant colonel, was seriously hurt are under investigation. He was airlifted to a hospital by helicopter and his family was notified, the army adds.
Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch shot Ike through the elbow. Take that, Ike! he yelled...... Hezbollah carried on its sporadic attacks on northern Israel on Tuesday, with sirens warning of rocket fire and drones in several border communities. There were no reports of injuries.
Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch shot Ike through the elbow. Take that, Ike! he yelled...... the IDF said it carried out a wave of airstrikes against numerous Hezbollah sites in the southern Lebanon town of Aadshit on Sunday night. The strikes were carried out after the IDF said it had identified "increased activity by the Hezbollah terror organization identified in the village."
Since hostilities escalated on March 2, Hezbollah fired some 130 rockets from Aadshit at troops in southern Lebanon and at Israel, especially Kiryat Shmona, the military said. Among the sites hit in the town were weapon depots, rocket launchers, and Hezbollah headquarters, the army said. The IDF added the strikes also killed several Hezbollah operatives who had planned attacks on Israel.
Additionally, the Israeli Air Force struck some 150 Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon over the previous day, the military said Sunday night. The IDF said the targets included rocket launchers, drones, buildings used by the terror group, anti-tank launch sites, and headquarters. The military said it also struck Hezbollah cells that planned attacks on troops.
Notably, the IDF has not conducted any strikes against Hezbollah in Beirut since Wednesday night. The apparent unstated policy change came amid US pressure on Israel to limit attacks on the terror group as Washington attempts to advance negotiations with Tehran, as well as ahead of expected negotiations between Israel and Lebanon on Tuesday in Washington.
However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... the IDF was still carrying out strikes in southern Lebanon and had almost completed the capture of the Hezbollah stronghold of Bint Jbeil.
Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli attacks have killed over 2,000 people since hostilities escalated on March 2, in a toll that does not differentiate between fighters and civilians. According to IDF tallies released Friday, more than 1,400 Hezbollah operatives have been killed over the same period.
Thirteen IDF soldiers have been killed in southern Lebanon amid fighting against Hezbollah, two non-combatants were killed by Hezbollah rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling.
More than 3,500 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon have also been struck, including hundreds of command centers, weapons depots, and rocket and missile launchers, according to the IDF.
