Headline: Mass protests in West Bank city after Palestinian detainee dies
Nablus, the second largest city in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, was gripped by violent protests on Tuesday after the death of a Palestinian detainee shortly after he was seized by Palestinian security forces. Hundreds of protesters, some throwing stones, marched through the city to denounce the death of Ahmed Halawa, who was seized during a police raid that followed the death of two police officers last week. “Security forces detained Ahmed Izz Halawa during a complicated and delicate security operation in Nablus,” Adnan Al Dmairi, the spokesman for the Palestinian Authority’s security services, said in a statement. Halawa was killed after he was taken to Juneid prison in Nablus, he said, although the exact circumstances of his death were not clear. Akram Al-Rjoub, the governor of Nablus, said Halawa was beaten to death by members of the security forces. Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Al-Hamdallah promised a full investigation, describing the incident as “rare”. Halawa was a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, a militant group linked to the Fatah party.

Headline: Israel, Turkey to exchange ambassadors ‘in coming days’
Headline: Turkey Uses Bilateral Ties with Israel as Alibi
Israel and Turkey this week will begin the process of exchanging ambassadors as the former allies continued the formal renewal of diplomatic relations after a six-year rift, Turkey’s foreign minister said Tuesday. Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters at a press conference the exchange will take place “in the coming days,” according to a report in Turkish news outlet Haber10. The ambassadors from both countries have yet to be announced. Turkey’s announcement came a day after Jerusalem and Ankara traded fierce recriminations over Israel’s bombardment of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip on Sunday.

Headline: Leave Gaza now, State Department warns U.S. citizens
The State Department advised U.S. citizens to avoid Gaza and limit travel in the West Bank after a Palestinian rocket attack led to Israeli bombings in Gaza. In a travel warning issued Tuesday it urged citizens in Gaza “to depart as soon as possible when border crossings are open,” noting that although a cease-fire between Gaza and Israel is in place, “sporadic mortar or rocket fire and corresponding Israeli military response continue to occur.” It added that Gaza, adjacent to Israel’s western border, is “under the control of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization.” It recommended citizens “avoid all travel to the Gaza Strip, and if you are there, leave as soon as you are able.” Israeli military forces carried out up to 50 airstrikes Sunday in Gaza in response to a rocket attack earlier in the day, which struck the Israeli border town of Sderot, Ahram Online News said Wednesday, citing the Times of Israel.

Headline: Palestinian Foreign Ministry urges U.S. to ban citizens from trespassing Al-Aqsa Mosque
Palestinian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday urged the U.S. State Department to ban its citizens from taking part in daily “incursions” into Al-Aqsa mosque in east Jerusalem. The ministry condemned in an emailed press statement the participation of a congressman from the U.S. State of Utah Mike Lee in the “incursion of settlers into Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday.” Scores of settlers stormed into Al-Aqsa mosque compound through the Dung Gate Tuesday under heavy military protection by Israeli police and took provocative tours in the yards of the holy mosque, according to Palestinian sources. The statement considered the incursion as “illegal and a flagrant intervention in Palestinian affairs,” and as backing the provocative moves by extremist Jewish groups aiming to change the status quo at the mosque.

“Do not keep silent, O God!

Headline: Kerry in Saudi Arabia for Meetings on Yemen War Impasse
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday for meetings with the kingdom’s senior royals and other Gulf officials for talks focusing on Yemen’s stalled peace process. Kerry is expected to raise U.S. concerns about civilian casualties in Yemen “and our strong desire to ensure that those sorts of casualties are avoided, and that the conduct of the air campaign is done with all proper and appropriate regard for being discriminate and precise,” said a senior State Department official traveling with Kerry. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the meetings and so spoke on condition of anonymity. The United States has backed a Saudi-led coalition of nine Arab countries in a nearly 18-month bombing campaign against Shiite Houthi rebels and their allies in Yemen. The Houthis, who are allied with Saudi Arabia’s regional rival, Iran, seized the capital, Sanaa, in 2014. The U.S. has provided logistical and intelligence support to the coalition. The conflict has killed more than 9,000 people, including more than 3,700 civilians and displaced 2.4 million. The fighting has destroyed much of the already limited infrastructure in one of the Arab world’s poorest countries.

Syria Headline: Turkey-backed Syrian rebels ‘take Jarablus’- Operation ‘Euphrates Shield’
Syrian rebels, backed by the Turkish military and US air cover, say they have taken the town of Jarablus from jihadists of so-called Islamic State. The assault began at dawn when Turkish warplanes, tanks and special forces personnel crossed the nearby border. Rebel commanders said most of the IS militants subsequently retreated. Turkey says its intervention is targeting both IS fighters and a Syrian Kurdish-led alliance that is attempting to advance on Jarablus. US Vice-President Joe Biden later confirmed the US had been flying air cover for the operation. He also warned members of the Syrian Democratic Forces – the most effective opponents of IS on the ground in Syria – that they had to return to the east of the River Euphrates if they wanted to continue receiving its help. “We have made it absolutely clear… that they must go back across the river,” he said. “They cannot, will not, and under no circumstances get American support if they do not keep that commitment.”

Iraq Headline: Iraq forces launch push to retake town
Iraqi special forces led an operation on Tuesday aimed at retaking the town of Qayyarah, a key staging base for operations to attack Mosul, military sources said. Qayyarah lies on the western bank of the Tigris river, about 60 km south of Mosul, the Daesh group’s last major urban stronghold in Iraq. With the clock ticking down on what Iraq expects to be its biggest anti-IS operation yet, the UN warned of population displacement on a scale not seen in years. “The operation started at dawn with the participation of Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) and army forces,” Brig. Gen. Firas Bashar said. US-led coalition aircraft provided support, said Bashar, the spokesman for the operations command in Nineveh, the province in which Qayyarah and Mosul are located. “The operation is ongoing and currently achieving its goals,” CTS spokesman Sabah Al-Noman said. “Qayyarah will be cleared and the operation wrapped up quickly, bolstering our plans… for the final battle to liberate Mosul,” he told AFP.

Turkey will not accept the creation of a new Kurdish entity inside Syria and the territorial integrity of the country must be maintained, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Wednesday. Speaking at a joint news conference with visiting U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, Yildirim also said a joint solution must be found to end the crisis in Syria. Meanwhile, the co-leader of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) has warned Turkey that it faces defeat in Syria, hours after Ankara launched a major military operation to pave the way for a cross-border rebel offensive on the ISIS-held town of Jarablus. “Turkey will be defeated in the Syrian quagmire, just like ISIS,” Saleh Muslim wrote on Twitter as Turkish officials heralded the start of the country’s widely-anticipated cross border action. “I think they will [suffer] heavy losses, [the decision] to enter this war was in their hands, [but getting out of it] won’t be,” the ANHA news agency—which is close to Muslim’s party—quoted him as saying in a follow-up report

Headline: Iranian General: Iran Formed Shi’ite Army to Destroy Israel by 2039
A retired Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general, who is currently one of the Iranian commanders leading Shi’ite troops in Syria, said in an interview last week that Iran has formed a Shi’ite army that seeks to destroy Israel by 2039. Brig. Gen. Mohammad Ali Falaki, who is serving with the Afghan Fatemiyoun Division, said that the Afghan militia’s establishment facilitated “the formation of a Shia liberation army” that is commanded by Qassam Soleimani, the head of the IRGC’s elite Qods Force. The main goal of this army is eliminating Israel, according to Falaki. “Forming the first nucleus of the liberation army has the objective that, God willing, we will not have anything called Israel in 23 years,” he said. He boasted that Iranian-led troops are already stationed by Israel’s border. Falaki’s comments are the latest in a long series of Iranian threats issued against Israel, which haven’t tapered off since the Islamic Republic reached a nuclear agreement with world powers in July of last year.

Headline: US takes casualties in Helmand fighting
A powerful explosion was heard near the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul on Wednesday evening, followed by sounds of heavy gunfire, sending panicked students at evening classes scrambling for safety on the highly guarded campus in the Afghan capital. At least five students were injured and were taken to a local emergency hospital, authorities said. It was not known whether any others were wounded, and there were no immediate reports of fatalities. The double assault came less than two weeks after two foreign professors at the elite American-run university were kidnapped from their vehicle outside the campus. The victims, one American and one Australian, have not been heard from since, and there has been no news about demands for ransom or other contact with the abductors. Police and government officials said security forces and emergency vehicles had been sent to the campus, located in an isolated section of the capital near the parliament. They said they were preparing to send in a special operations force to search for any attackers on campus. Meanwhile, A U.S. service member has died from wounds sustained today in an operation near Lashkar Gah in Helmand province in Afghanistan, the Pentagon confirmed. The service member was conducting “train, advise, assist” activities with Afghan counterparts when the patrol “triggered an improvised explosive device,” or IED, according to a news release from U.S. Forces Afghanistan.

Headline: US deploys attack helicopters to strike Daesh in Libya
The United States has begun using attack helicopters to target the Daesh terror group in the extremists’ Libyan former stronghold of Sirte, a defence official said Tuesday. American jets have since the start of August been helping fighters loyal to the Government of National Accord (GNA) retake the coastal city of Sirte, conducting dozens of strikes on Daesh fighting positions and equipment. Lieutenant Commander Anthony Falvo, a spokesman for the US military’s Africa Command, said Marine Corps AH-1W SuperCobra attack helicopters had in recent days joined the operation. “The Cobras provide additional precision air strike capability,” Stuttgart-based Falvo told AFP in a phone interview. “It gives us a little bit more flexibility.” SuperCobra gunships are based on the USS Wasp, an amphibious assault ship in the Mediterranean. Harrier jets are also being launched from the ship to conduct strikes on Sirte. As of Monday, the United States had conducted 77 air strikes in the city.

Headline: Mozambique Opposition Attacks Health Facilities
At least 100,000 rural Mozambicans are paying the price for the nation’s stalled peace talks, after armed opposition fighters allegedly attacked and looted at least two health facilities in the past month, depriving patients of basic medical care and supplies. Human Rights Watch said Wednesday armed men linked to Mozambique’s main opposition party, Renamo, have stormed emergency rooms, threatened patients and staff and seized basic hospital supplies in the towns of Morrumbala and Mopeia in central Mozambique. The attackers’ take reportedly included bed sheets, mosquito nets, HIV tests, antibiotics, syringes, vaccines and essential supplies used to deliver babies. Renamo did not confirm or deny responsibility for these attacks, but the party’s leader recently ordered attacks across the country amid stalled peace talks with the ruling Frelimo party. The rights watchdog says it also received reports of other hospital and clinic attacks, but could not confirm those incidents.

Headline: One killed, 29 wounded as 2 bombs strike southern Thailand
Two bombs exploded near a hotel in insurgency-wracked southern Thailand, killing one employee and wounding 29 people, police and hospital officials said Wednesday. The explosions occurred late Tuesday outside the Southern Hotel in Pattani, one of the biggest towns in a region where Muslim separatists have waged an insurgency since 2004 that has left more than 6,000 people dead. The first bomb exploded in the hotel’s car park, but caused no casualties, said police Lt. Sirisak Wungkulum. He said the second bomb planted in an Isuzu car went off 20 minutes later in front of the hotel, killing a 25-year-old woman who worked in the restaurant. Hospital officials said 29 people were wounded. It was the fourth car bombing this year in Thailand’s south, the only Muslim area in the Buddhist majority country.

Headline: North Korea submarine fires ballistic missile
North Korea has fired a ballistic missile from a submarine off its east coast, say the US and South Korea. The KN-11 missile was launched from waters near Sinpo and flew about 500km (300 miles) before falling into the Sea of Japan, a US official said. Japan’s PM said it fell inside Japan’s Air Defence Identification Zone, calling it a “reckless act”. It comes as South Korea and the US begin annual military drills, which routinely anger Pyongyang. North Korea, which sees these drills as a rehearsal for invasion, recently warned they were pushing the Korean peninsula towards the brink of war and threatened a “pre-emptive nuclear strike” in retaliation. North Korea is banned by the UN from any use of ballistic or nuclear technology. But in recent months it has carried out repeated missile launches, and is believed to be close to conducting its fifth test of a nuclear device. Wednesday’s early morning launch appears to have been its most successful test yet of a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).

Headline: Fed Admits Another $4 Trillion In QE Will Be Needed To Offset An “Economic Shock”
In a Fed Staff working paper released over the weekend titled “Gauging the Ability of the FOMC to Respond to Future Recessions” and penned by deputy director of the division of research and statistics at the Fed, the author concludes that “simulations of the FRB/US model of a severe recession suggest that large-scale asset purchases and forward guidance about the future path of the federal funds rate should be able to provide enough additional accommodation to fully compensate for a more limited [ability] to cut short-term interest rates in most, but probably not all, circumstances.” So far so good, however, there are some notable problems with the paper’s assumptions, as Citi head of G10 FX, Steven Englander, observes. He writes that the paper’s basic framework is to take the standard US economic model used by the Fed, give it a negative shock big enough to push the unemployment rate up by 5 percentage points (big but not unprecedented over the last 50 years) and deploying the Fed’s policy rate, QE and forward guidance tools to see if they are adequate to get the economy back on track. Negative rates and helicopter money are not used.

Headline: W. Va. city swamped by overdoses, as nation battles surging opioid epidemic
The heroin epidemic that has plagued the nation’s urban and rural communities alike had not spared West Virginia, but nothing prepared Cabell County officials for 26 overdoses in a four-hour span last week. The wave of misery was focused in a Huntington public housing complex, where victims injected from a batch of the drug believed to have been laced with Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid up to 100 times more potent than morphine. Investigators believe two fatalities that occurred during the same time period could be related. “We have never seen anything like this before to this magnitude,” said Gordon Merry, Emergency Management Service director for Cabell County. It was the latest cluster of overdoses to take place in communities ranging from gritty cities to rural farmlands. Overdoses involving heroin and synthetic drugs like “spice” left two dozen hospitalized earlier this month in Ohio; killed two and sickened 16 two months ago in New Haven, Conn.; and hospitalized 33 last month in Brooklyn. Just last week, nine people overdosed on heroin from a single bad batch, with one woman dying. And twice in the last week, paramedics have rushed to Los Angeles’ Skid Row to treat multiple people sicked by synthetic marijuana. Incidents of large-scale overdoses bring headlines, but public health and law enforcement officials say the opioid crisis gripping the nation claims most of its victims quietly, one or two at a time. In Cabell County, there have been at least 440 overdoses this year, including 26 fatalities.

Headline: Italy earthquake has killed at least 120 people – prime minister
The earthquake that struck central Italy on Wednesday has killed at least 120 people, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said. A powerful earthquake flattened mountain towns in central Italy on Wednesday, killing at least 73 people, burying some alive in their sleep under mounds of rubble, as exhausted volunteers and firefighters raced to free those still trapped. The quake struck in the early hours of the morning when most residents were asleep, razing homes and buckling roads in a cluster of communities some 140 km (85 miles) east of Rome. It was powerful enough to be felt in Bologna to the north and Naples to the south, each more than 220 km from the epicenter. The army was mobilized to help with special heavy equipment and the treasury released 235 million euros ($265 million) of emergency funds. At the Vatican, Pope Francis dispatched part of the Holy See’s tiny firefighting force to help in the rescue. Rescue workers used helicopters to pluck trapped survivors to safety in more isolated villages cut off by landslides and rubble. Aerial photographs showed whole areas of Amatrice (photo above), last year voted one of Italy’s most beautiful historic towns, flattened by the 6.2 magnitude quake. Many of those killed or missing were visitors.

Headline: At least 3 reported dead after powerful earthquake strikes central Burma
A powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.8 rocked central Burma on Wednesday, damaging nearly 100 ancient Buddhist pagodas in the tourist city of Bagan and reportedly killing at least three people. The quake was centered about 15 miles west of Chauk, an area west of the ancient capital of Bagan, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The epicenter was located fairly far below the Earth’s surface at a depth of about 52 miles, it said. Deep earthquakes generally cause less surface damage. At least 94 brick pagodas in Bagan were damaged, the Ministry of Religious and Cultural Affairs said in a statement. Bagan, also known as Pagan, has more than 2,200 structures including pagodas and temples constructed from the 10th to the 14th centuries. Many are in disrepair while others have been restored in recent years, aided by the U.N. cultural agency UNESCO.
