Iran Tests Ballistic Missiles in Preparation for Strike on Israel

Tehran simulates attack on Israeli hangar housing American-made F-35s

 

February 14, 2024

Iran test fired advanced ballistic missiles on Tuesday in a series of war drills meant to prepare the Islamic Republic for a strike on Israeli military sites that house American-made F-35 fighter jets, according to the country’s state-controlled media.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is behind a series of recent strikes on American and Israeli positions across the Middle East, “simulated destroying hangars housing the Israeli regime’s United States-procured F-35 warplanes by using ballistic missiles,” according to information about the drills published in Tehran’s official media outlets.

During the war simulation, the IRGC fired “enhanced versions of its Emad and Qadr ballistic missiles against the F-35 hangars located inside a mock-up of the Tel Aviv regime’s Palmachim Airbase,” located just outside of the major Israeli city. Iran claims its missiles are capable of striking deep into Israel and are capable of traveling more than 1,000 miles. https://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-tests-ballistic-missiles-in-preparation-for-strike-on-israel/

Israel’s National Security Minister Ominously Delcares “This Is War” After Hezbollah Unleashes A Barrage Of Missiles
The countdown to a cataclysmic conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is rapidly picking up momentum.  On Wednesday, a missile barrage that was unleashed by Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon hit multiple targets in northern Israel.  If Hezbollah really wants peace like they claim that they do, they have a really strange way of showing it.  It is being reported that this missile barrage “appeared to be the fiercest attacks from Lebanon since the confrontation began.”

73,000,000 Abortions Happen Worldwide Each Year
It is almost midnight, but at this stage most of the population doesn’t even care about the endless procession of babies that are having their lives snuffed out at our abortion mills.  Terms such as “massacre”, “slaughter’ and “genocide” are not nearly strong enough to describe what is taking place on a daily basis, and the vast majority of us seem to think that there will never be any serious consequences for what we are doing.  But the truth is that we shall surely reap what we have sown.

Sandi Adams: Farming is being destroyed and it’s being destroyed by design

Sandi Adams has done in-depth research into the United Nations’ (“UN”) agenda and how it is being rolled out globally.  In an interview with Rachel from Colchester Council Watch last week, Adams discussed the impact the UN agenda is having on farming.

The farming protests that are happening in Europe are in response to the implementation of the UN agenda.

In England, farmers are being run into the ground and they’re under a lot of pressure, Adams said.  “But the worst pressure they’ve been under is a man from the ministry has visited all the farms and has said, ‘Look over the next three years your subsidies incrementally are going to be cut unless you diversify and you stop farming meat [and] dairy’ … So, sheep farming, beef farming and dairy farming has to be cut,” Adams said.  “They have said, ‘You will have to diversify and set up businesses on your farm’ … anything but farming. So, it’s a way of corporatising farms.”

It is a global agenda that is coming from a UN directive. Adams explained. “It’s been going on for such a long time and, really, they want to corporatise farming and make it state-owned.”

 

In a September 2021 report, three UN agencies called on governments around the world to “reappraise and reorganise their support for their farming sectors.”  The report targeted meat,dairy, pesticides and monocultures.

Dec. 28, 2020- The End of 2020 - BibleProphecyMan.com

Yesterday May 11, 2021 I wrote you the following: Anyone who knows bible prophecy knows that the above 3 prophecies are most important in knowing how close we really are to seeing Jesus Christ returning for His Church!.  Every day now we are watching news leading up to the beginning of the last 7 years warned about in the book of Revelation.  How many of you out there don’t know anything about the above prophecies?  If you are unaware of what these prophecies mean I would imagine you don’t know much about the other main prophecies Jesus told us to look for just before His return.  What we know for sure is were are to keep our eyes on events surrounding Israel, East Jerusalem, and the nations that you see in the photos above. 

Today Israel is still under attack but as of yet we don’t see a full scale war however, I don’t think Israel can wait that much longer if they keep seeing their enemy launching more rockets into Israel. There have been some 400 of these rockets launched into Israel so far. 

 

Two killed in Lod in overnight rocket barrage, IDF retaliating in Gaza
While the IDF struck in Gaza, targeting a key Hamas infrastructure, Israelis were killed from a heavy barrage of rockets launched towards central Israel overnight. Two people, a man in his 40s and a little girl, died from a rocket that hit their a house in Lod early Wednesday morning, after terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired a barrage of rockets in the direction of Tel Aviv … .

Israel kills Islamic Jihad rocket and Hamas anti-tank commanders
The IDF killed two top Islamic Jihad terrorists on Tuesday, striking a blow to the terror group’s rocket infrastructure. The IDF also eliminated the head of the Hamas anti-tank missile unit Tuesday evening in an airstrike. One of the terrorists was identified as Samah Abed al-Mamlouk.

Israel not ready for a ceasefire – official
Israel will not negotiate a ceasefire before Hamas pays a price for its attacks, a senior Israeli official said on Tuesday. Ashkenazi “emphasized that Israel has the right to defend its sovereignty and will not allow attempts to hurt its citizens.” He said Israel will continue to use a heavy hand against Hamas terrorists.

IDF enters Lod as city goes into emergency lockdown
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “If this isn’t an emergency situation, I don’t know what is. We’re talking about life and death here.” This means that the city is now an enclosed area monitored by the IDF. Overall, 17 residents of Ramle and Lod were arrested on Tuesday, KAN reported.

Trump blames Biden for “new attacks on our allies”
Statement by Donald J. Trump on situation in Israel: When I was in office we were known as the Peace Presidency, because Israel’s adversaries knew that the United States stood strongly with Israel and there would be swift retribution if Israel was attacked. Under Biden, the world is getting more violent and more unstable because Biden’s weakness and lack of support for Israel is leading to new attacks on our allies.

 

Ex-spy Jonathan Pollard: Biden admin are Amalekites
Pollard identified the Biden administration as the nation of Amalek, the perennial evil enemy of Israel. “What we’re talking about is Amalek, pure and simple,” he said. “Whether you murder a Jew directly… or whether you pin his arms behind his back like the identity Democrats of the same Biden administration — the death of the Jew is the same.” the most egregious anti-Semites were actually Westen politicians, noting that not all of Israel’s enemies “wear a keffiyeh and carry a Kalashnikov… some of them wear very nice suits… and they hate us with a passion that you can’t even imagine.” Included in his list of such enemies was the current US State Department.

IDF goes to battle against Hamas with inspiration from Book of Isaiah
The IDF responded to the attacks with the appropriately named “Operation Guardian of the Walls”, striking 130 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist targets in Gaza including two terrorist tunnels, two rocket launchers, two military posts, a Hamas military intel facility, the home of a top Hamas military official, and weapons manufacturing and storage sites.

1 Israeli killed, 2 others injured by anti-tank missile fired from Gaza
Hamas fired a Kornet anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) toward vehicles near the southern Israeli community of Netiv Ha’Asara on Wednesday morning, after a night of intensive rocket barrages… Shortly before the attacks, the IDF warned residents of the Gaza envelope to remain at home out of concern that Hamas might fire short-range mortars, ATGM’s or carry out sniper attacks against civilians in the area.

Iran1 The people who know the bible and have kept on the watch in these last days know who Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is. He is the former President of Iran who when he was in office made it very clear he wanted to destroy the nation of Israel.  Well Ahmadinejad is running for office again and, the timing couldn’t be better. If he does manage to get in office again I am sure he will again turn up the heat on Israel as he did when in office the last time.  One thing is for sure the Ezekiel 38 war can not be that far off. Below you will see a few of the videos where Ahmadinejad warned he would wipe out Israel.

 

Iran state TV says Ahmadinejad will run in presidential race
Iran’s state television reported Wednesday that the country’s former firebrand president will run again for office in upcoming elections in June. Broadcast footage showed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad marching accompanied by supporters to a registration center at the Interior Ministry where he filled out registration forms.

 

Coming soonDec. 28, 2020- The End of 2020 - BibleProphecyMan.comEzekiel 43:8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.

Clashes break out on the Temple Mount, throughout West Bank
Clashes broke out on the Temple Mount on Wednesday morning, after a night of violent clashes between Palestinians and Arab-Israelis and Israeli security forces throughout the West Bank and Israel, as well as barrages of rockets from Gaza. Israel Police announced that as thousands of worshippers arrived at the Temple Mount…hundreds of people who had masked their faces began causing unrest…

Fire on Temple Mount: Zecharia’s prophecy signaling 3rd Temple construction
Arab violence continued through Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day) and culminated on Monday night in what can only be described as a pitched battle on the Temple Mount. At one point, fireworks thrown by Arabs ignited a large tree standing adjacent to the Aqsa Mosque, presenting the answer to Jewish prayers based on a prophecy by Zechariah that the Temple which was destroyed by fire will be rebuilt in fire.

Massive fire on Temple Mount means Messiah is “imminent,” prominent Rabbi says
It looks like Moshiach is imminent. Three hours ago, seven Hamas rockets fired from Gaza landed in the Jerusalem vicinity. Over 40 rockets have been fired at the south. Here in Ashdod and all points south, schools and all public gatherings are curtailed until further notice. The world, including the US, are lined up against us with Turkey and Iran pledging their support to Hamas. The Arab rabble-rousers on the Temple Mount have just now ignited a fire … and that’s enough to have the Moslem world yelling for Jihad. Jet aircraft are flying overhead nonstop and no one here knows what will develop in the coming hours. One thing is sure – like I said yesterday, the labor pains of Moshiach have begun.

VACCIDENT ALERT: Vehicle accidents caused by vaccine side effects happening all over US roads and highways
If you’ve noticed the mayhem on US roads lately, you’re not the only one. People are driving like maniacs, cutting people out of their lane, swerving, speeding, running red lights, texting while driving and causing horrible wrecks. Besides being brainwashed by the media, more than 50 percent of all drivers are mass medicated with toxic prescriptions and… wait for it… dirty vaccines. That’s right, vaccines are causing vaccidents all over the roadways, as the protein prions being created in the blood from the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine series are causing blood clots, brain freeze, seizures and strokes.

Headline: Senior Fatah Official Confirms: We Murdered the Israeli Couple

Headline: Thousands Protest Nationwide Over Henkin Murders

The “armed wing” of Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction initially claimed responsibility for Thursday night’s brutal murder of a young couple right in front of their four children, but now a senior Fatah official has confirmed that claim. Senior Fatah official Mahmoud Al-Aloul, who is a member of the Fatah Central Committee, was revealed by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) as having announcing responsibility the night before on Facebook for the murder of Rabbi Eitam and Naama Henkin outside Itamar in Samaria. “The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement Fatah, accepted responsibility for the Itamar operation (i.e. the murder – ed.) carried out against settlers, leading to their deaths,” wrote Al-Aloul in an open admission. Fatah and Hamas officials have both praised the attack, and the praise of the murder by Palestinian Arab terror groups continued on Friday. Meanwhile, Protests erupted nationwide calling to end Arab terror and boost Israel’s deterrence on Friday, after Fatah terrorists murdered Rabbi Eitam and Naama Henkin in front of their four young children. On Friday afternoon, at least 150 people from Netivot and Sderot near Gaza blocked major intersections to protest the terror, waving Israeli flags and calling to strengthen national unity. “We convened the masses and the youth just as the funeral was being held in Jerusalem,” one participant stated. “True, it’s Friday and we could not participate along with all of Israel at the funeral, but together, we showed that we are as one man with one heart.” “All the people of Israel need to stand tall and continue along proudly,” the participant continued.

Headline: Hundreds of Palestinians Riot Across Israel

Israel Police and the IDF arrested Palestinian Arabs across Israel Friday, after hundreds participated in terror against Israeli military forces and civilians. Over 200 Palestinian Arabs waited for police forces at Rachel’s Tomb in Beit Lehem (Bethlehem) Friday afternoon, throwing rocks and firebombs and burning tires at the Jewish holy site. In Hevron, an angry Arab mob threw burning tires at police forces; no injuries were reported. Earlier Friday, Israel Police arrested a 25 year-old from Shuafat in Jerusalem on suspicion of attempting a terror attack on a Border Police officer in the Old City. The suspect could be seen in security footage trying to throw firebombs at civilians and patrols – just as the Old City is teeming with people due to Shabbat and the Sukkot holiday. Miles away, near Beit El in Samaria, Arabs from Kfar Jilazoun threw burning tires and rocks at IDF forces and civilians along the road leading to the community. In response, hundreds of Jews flocked to the site and blocked the road; the IDF responded by throwing tear gas canisters on both sides clashing at the site and using riot dispersal measures. The chaos follows the brutal murders of Rabbi Eitam and Naama Henkin, who were murdered by Fatah terrorists late Thursday between Itamar and Elon Moreh in Samaria. The Henkins’ four children were in the vehicle at the time.

Headline: Obama’s Perfect Storm to Destroy Israel- op-ed

As the country’s electorate focuses on the Roseburg shootings, three very important items leaked onto the news wires on Thursday that deserve broad, nationwide attention. Sadly, I am not referring to the drip, drip, drip of Hillary’s emails, the deaths of our service members in a plane crash in Afghanistan, or the attack by a Palestinian terrorist who murdered the parents of four young children. I awoke to a breaking story in Politico with the headline “Exclusive: Obama brushed off Reid’s plea on Palestinian State.” From that story we learn: Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on two different occasions this year went to White House chief of staff Denis McDonough seeking a public commitment from President Barack Obama that he would veto any U.N. resolution calling for an independent Palestinian state. Both times, Obama did nothing. While this would be unprecedented, so would abstaining from, rather than vetoing, a U.N. resolution condemning the United States for its embargo on Cuba. But that is exactly what the administration is threatening to do. This is arguably treasonous, given that Obama swore to uphold the Constitution and enforce the laws of the country, but given the fact that he has not been impeached for all of his other  unconstitutional offenses to date, what does he have to lose by screwing over our most important ally in the Mideast? Shortly after reading the Politico article, I turned my attention to watching Bibi Netanyahu’s much awaited speech before the U.N. General Assembly. Noticeably absent was the United States’ U.N. ambassador, Samantha Power, and Secretary of State John Kerry, both of whom were in New York City for the UNGA events this week. Later in the day Breitbart broke the story with the headline “Obama Pulled John Kerry and Samantha Power from Netanyahu UN Speech.” “Ambassador Power and Secretary Kerry were unable to attend Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech before the General Assembly because they were called into a meeting with President Obama, which they participated in via video teleconference,” a State Department Official told Breitbart News.

Headline: Jordan condemns Israel closure of Al Aqsa, warns of consequences

Headline: Jordan MP’s son carried out Iraq suicide attack: media

Jordan on Thursday condemned the continued closure of Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem by the Israeli forces and its detaining of worshippers. Government Spokesperson and Minister of State for Media Affairs and Communications Mohammad Momani said the Jordanian government is “angered” by the Israeli violations and this unprecedented aggression motivated by the Jewish holidays. Momani said Jordan rejects both the geographical and time-based divisions of Al Aqsa. The Israeli forces on Thursday resumed their military-imposed closure of Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, allowing Jewish settlers to tour Al Haram Al Sharif compound. The Israeli forces restricted entry for Muslim men and women under 50, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. Momani warned Israel of the consequences of such an unprecedented threat that cannot be accepted by any Muslim. He said this breach comes in violation of international laws and conventions that compel an occupier to maintain the status quo in an occupied territory. Momani warned that these escalations by Israel push the region towards “ominous confrontations” and create a fertile ground for radical forces. He pointed that Jordan can and will exert all diplomatic and legal efforts to make Israel stop its flagrant violations.

Headline: At UN, Netanyahu Reveals Details on Hezbollah Weapons Acquisitions

Along with the silence gimmick, which was the part of his UN address that attracted the most attention, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed for the first time some details about the process of Hezbollah’s rearmament with the help of Iran and Syria. Netanyahu said that Iran has smuggled advanced SA-22 anti-aircraft missiles to Hezbollah in Lebanon as well as Yakhont precision anti-ship cruise missiles. To date, Israel has not submitted any official complaint about this advanced weaponry being in Hezbollah’s hands. At best, when senior Israel Defense Forces officers are asked about these systems, they say that their working assumption is, “Any weapon that Syria and Iran has will eventually find its way to Hezbollah’s hands.” Netanyahu mentioned three types of weapons. The first, the SA-22 (also known as the Pantsyr-S1) is an air defense system combining surface-to-air missiles, air defense cannons and radar; it was developed in Russia in the 1990s. The system is being used by the Syrian army and it can be deployed as a battery or on a vehicle.

Headline: Russia seeking Egypt security support

Russia has been seeking Egyptian coordination and support for its “counterterror” efforts on behalf of the Bashar al-Assad regime, according to a Kuwaiti daily. “Preparations are being made to organize a visit by a Syrian security delegation, under the auspices of Russia, to meet a number of Egyptian security officials,” Al-Jarida reported Friday. “The task of the delegation is to obtain Cairo’s support in combating terrorism,” a high-level Egyptian source told the daily. During his visit to Moscow on August 26, Egyptian President Abdul Fattah el-Sisi signaled his support for an anti-ISIS alliance that would include the Syrian regime. No formal coalition has since been declared, however reports have emerged that Russia has formed a military alliance with Tehran, Damascus, Baghdad and Hezbollah to coordinate operations in Syria and Iraq. Russia began its airstrikes in Syria on Wednesday, insisting it hit ISIS targets while rebel groups, the US and France all said Russia had bombed Islamist and Free Syrian Army-affiliated rebels. Al-Jarida also reported that Russia has also sought to gain Cairo’s diplomatic support for a resolution to Syria’s civil war. “For the first time Russia is asking Egypt to mediate with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for approval of Bashar al-Assad’s continued [rule] until Syria is cleansed of armed militias over the coming period in exchange for Russian guarantees of a peaceful solution over the coming period,” the source told the newspaper.

Syria Headline:   Jihadists on Twitter Respond to Russian Airstrikes in Syria, Call for Capture of Russian Soldiers

Senior U.S. military leaders and defense officials are debating whether military force should be used to protect Washington-backed Syrian rebels who have come under attack by Russian airstrikes in recent days. The Associated Press reported early Friday that the question was part of a broader debate within the Pentagon about the the broader dilemma of how the administration should respond to what White House press secretary Josh Earnest described as Russia’s “indiscriminate military operations against the Syrian opposition.” Tensions between the U.S. and Russia are escalating over Russian airstrikes that are serving to strengthen Syrian President Bashar Assad by targeting the so-called “moderate” rebels rather than hitting Islamic State (ISIS) fighters it promised to attack. Turkey’s Foreign Ministry says Ankara and its allies in the U.S.-led coalition are calling on Russia to immediately cease attacks on the Syrian opposition and to focus on fighting Islamic State militants. Meanwhile, a joint statement by the United States, France, Germany, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Britain expressed concern over Russia’s military actions, saying they will “only fuel more extremism and radicalization.” The text of the statement was released by the Turkish Foreign Ministry on Friday, and confirmed by the French Foreign Ministry.

Syria Headline: Chinese warplanes to join Russian air strikes in Syria

Russia’s military intervention in Syria has expanded radically in two directions. debkafile’s military and intelligence sources report that China sent word to Moscow Friday, Oct. 2, that J-15 fighter bombers would shortly join the Russian air campaign. Russia’s military intervention in Syria has five additional participants: China, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Hizballah. The J-15 warplanes will take off from the Chinese Liaoning-CV-16 aircraft carrier, which reached Syrian shores on Sept. 26 (as debkafile exclusively reported at the time). This will be a landmark event for Beijing: its first military operation in the Middle East as well the carrier’s first taste of action in conditions of real combat. Thursday night, China’s foreign minister Wang Yi, made this comment on the Syrian crisis at a UN Security Council session in New York: “The world cannot afford to stand by and look on with folded arms, but must also not arbitrarily interfere (in the crisis).” A no less significant development occurred at about the same time when Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, speaking to the US PBS NewsHour, said he would welcome a deployment of Russian troops to Iraq to fight ISIS forces in his country too. As an added incentive, he noted that this would also give Moscow the chance to deal with the 2,500 Chechen Muslims whom, he said, are fighting with ISIS in Iraq.

Syria Headline:   ISIS attacks Syrian government-held areas of eastern city

ISIS attacked Syrian government-held areas in the eastern city of Deir al-Zor and an air base south of the city on Friday, a monitoring group said. Government warplanes bombarded another area of the city and around the air base, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, a day after pro-Damascus media reported Russian jets had struck parts of Deir al-Zor province held by ISIS.

Iraq Headline:   Russia will ‘consider’ expanding its air offensive to Iraq

Iraq Headline: Russia gains Iraqi air base

Russia is said to be considering Iraq’s offer to allow it to carry out air strikes on Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) in Iraqi territory. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Sept. 30 he may allow Russia to carry out air strikes on the terror group inside Iraq if Moscow offered. It is a possibility. If we get the offer, we will consider it,” Abadi said. On Oct. 1, Russian foreign ministry official Ilya Rogachyov said Moscow would “consider” air strikes against ISIL targets in Iraq if Baghdad asked it to do so. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, however, said Russia had no plans to expand the air operation to Iraq. “We were not invited, we were not asked, and we are polite people, as you know. We don’t come if not invited,” Lavrov said during an Oct. 1 news conference at the United Nations. Meanwhile, debkafile revealed Baghdad has offered Moscow an air base for targeting the Islamic State now occupying large swathes of Iraqi territory

Iraq Headline: Thousands of Iraqis demonstrate for reforms

Thousands of Iraqis demonstrated in Baghdad and several other cities Friday, urging the government to deliver on its promised reform package aimed at tackling corruption and improving services. Iraqis have been staging weekly protests since July. The movement that stemmed from exasperation over power cuts in the searing summer heat gradually led to broader demands for political reform. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, with backing from the country’s most revered Shiite religious cleric, announced a reform package but change has been slow to materialize and the protests have continued. “Baghdad will no longer be silent,” chanted thousands of protesters in the capital’s Tahrir (liberation in Arabic) Square.
Regular protesters — dominated by secular groups, journalists, artists and social activists — were joined Friday by supporters of Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr. “Our participation in the protests continues because the scope of Abadi’s reforms is limited,” said Bashir al-Saadi, a young Sadr supporter. He claimed the prime minister was restrained in his efforts by his own Dawa party — of which his predecessor and rival Nouri al-Maliki is also a member — and other parties.

Turkish security forces killed more than 10 suspected Kurdish militants amid intensifying clashes in the country’s southeast, while 44 people were arrested in Istanbul on suspicion of links with the rebels, officials and media reports said. The exact death toll from clashes in Silvan, a town in southeastern Turkey’s Diyarbakir province, was not immediately clear. A security source said it exceeded 10 people – all members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). Among those detained on Friday were district officials of the People’s Democratic Party (HDP), a left-wing grouping accused of having links with the hardline PKK, Hurriyet newspaper said.An HDP spokesman had no immediate information on the arrests, and there was also no comment from Turkish police. The HDP on Friday presented its election platform in which it renewed a promise to seek a settlement to the 31-year war with the PKK. “Despite everything, we say peace,” HDP Co-Chairwoman Figen Yuksekdag said. “We want a grand peace.” Among the 44 people arrested were union members and former district mayors, Turkish media reported. Authorities imposed a 24-hour curfew on Silvan, where two soldiers were shot dead by suspected PKK militants on Thursday as they left for work. The army has repeatedly clashed with the rebels in Silvan in recent weeks.

Headline: Bahrain withdraws ambassador from Iran after bomb-factory find

Hundreds of Iranian troops have arrived in Syria in the last 10 days and will soon join government forces and their Lebanese Hezbollah allies in a major ground offensive backed by Russian airstrikes, two Lebanese sources told Reuters. “The (Russian) airstrikes will in the near future be accompanied by ground advances by the Syrian army and its allies,” said one of the sources familiar with political and military developments in the conflict. “It is possible that the coming land operations will be focused in the Idlib and Hama countryside,” the source added. The two sources said the operation would be aimed at recapturing territory lost by President Bashar al-Assad’s government to rebels. It points to an emerging military alliance between Russia and Assad’s other main allies — Iran and Hezbollah — focused on recapturing areas of northwestern Syria that were seized by insurgents in rapid advances earlier this year.

Headline:  Taliban Northern Offensive Expands

Headline: Afghan forces retake city center amid fierce clashes with Taliban

Headline: At least 11 dead after C-130 aircraft crashes in Afghanistan

Headline: Taliban Claims Downing a US Army Plane

Nine districts in four Northern provinces have reportedly been contested by the Taliban over the last eight days from September 23 to October 1 in conjunction with the recent Taliban offensive to seize Kunduz city. Among these nine districts, four district centers have fallen to the Taliban in neighboring Takhar province. These attacks appear to be a united offensive Mullah Akhtar Mansour, the leader of one prominent Taliban faction and self-proclaimed leader of the Taliban following the announcement of the death of Mullah Omar. The coordinated attacks throughout northern Afghanistan indicate a high level of operational capability and sophistication. A prolonged offensive and consolidation of Taliban control in northern Afghanistan could position elements loyal to Mullah Akhatar Mansour for follow-on assaults on several provincial capitals at once and provide Taliban elements with a staging area close to Kabul. Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) retook key elements of Kunduz city on October 1, but heavy fighting continues between ANSF and Taliban militants. The attacks throughout northern Afghanistan indicate that Taliban militants are executing a broader northern offensive in Kunduz, Baghlan, Takhar, and Badakhshan provinces. The northern offensive is supported by Taliban activity along major resupply routes to Kunduz city via Baghlan province, where militants were able to stymie nearly one thousand ANSF reinforcements bound for Kunduz. This lightning offensive is likely designed to reinforce Taliban gains in Kunduz city while the ANSF counter-offensive is underway, but it is also gaining momentum faster than the ANSF is reclaiming territory. The loss of broad swaths of strategically important territory underscores growing ANSF inability to control and hold areas without the intervention of Afghan and NATO Special Forces. Updated 10/2/2015 10:31am (EDT): Mullah Akhtar Mansour emphasized the “symbolic victory” of the Taliban’s capture of Kunduz in his first interview with an international media outlet as the claimed leader of the Taliban. Mansour stated that the victory should silence dissidents doubting the ability of his forces, thus conflating the capture of Kunduz with Mansour’s own legitimacy. This interview confirms that Mansour launched the northern offensive in part to demonstrate his power and suppress opposition. Ongoing leadership disputes within the Taliban likely will fuel continued offensives in Takhar and Baghlan Provinces.

Headline:    Islamic State militants attack forces guarding Libya oil port: official

Islamic State militants attacked forces guarding one of Libya’s main oil ports on Thursday with a gun assault and an attempted car bomb in an escalation of their campaign in the North African state, a local security official said. Islamic State has gained ground in Libya where two rival governments — one internationally recognized and the other self-declared — are battling for control, leaving a security vacuum four years after the uprising toppled Muammar Gaddafi. Militants attacked guards at a gate near Es Sider port, which is under the control of forces allied with the recognized government, the security official said. The terminal has been closed since December because of fighting with other rival armed factions and problems at supply oilfields. “An attack was carried out by militants of Islamic State on a gate before sunset in the Es Sider area,” Ali Hassi, spokesman for the a local battalion of the Petroleum Facilities Guard, a force allied with the official government. He said one guard was killed and two more wounded, but he gave no details about how close the gate was to the port itself. Militants later tried to target the same gate with a car bomb but failed and four of them were shot dead, he said.

Four suicide bombers killed at least 10 people in Maiduguri, Nigeria’s army said Friday, after also blaming Islamic extremists for trying to poison water sources in northeastern Nigeria. No group has claimed responsibility for the Thursday night attack but Nigerian security forces blamed the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram, which is based in the area. At least 39 others were wounded in the attack in the Sareji neighborhood of Maiduguri, military spokesman Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman said. Meanwhile, Nigeria’s military on Thursday also accused Boko Haram of poisoning water sources in the northeastern Nigeria. “Credible information … indicates that though no human life was lost as a result of the barbaric act of the terrorists, however, some cattle were killed after drinking water from some poisoned sources,” Usman said. In a separate incident, residents say five people were killed earlier Thursday by suspected Boko Haram militants in Kirchinga, a village in Adamawa state, which borders the Sambisa forest, a Boko Haram hideout. Ahmad Musa, who fled the attack on his village, said militants shot indiscriminately at residents forcing many flee into nearby bushes to escape the onslaught.

Loyalist Yemeni troops and Gulf Arab forces on Thursday seized control of the Arabian side of the strategic Bab Al-Mandab Strait linking the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden from Houthi rebels, a spokesman for the Gulf-backed government said. Six months of war in Yemen has raised fears for the security of oil supplies through Bab Al-Mandab, a main thoroughfare for vessels heading for the United States or Europe from Asia or the Gulf. Its western shore is controlled by Djibouti and Eritrea. “In a large-scale military operation launched today, Yemeni government, resistance and coalition forces liberated the Bab Al-Mandab Strait and Mayun island with the goal of safeguarding this key sea route,” Rajeh Badi told Reuters by telephone from the southern port city of Aden, 170 km to the east. Yemeni Prime Minister Khaled Bahah, who returned to Aden in mid-September after months of exile in Saudi Arabia, later said on his Twitter account: “On this day, with support from the armed militias, we were victorious. Mayun and Bab Al-Mandab, before them Marib, and soon, God willing, Taiz and the rest of the cities.”

Headline:  Deadly Russian rocket system spotted in Ukraine for first time

International monitors say they have spotted a new kind of Russian weapons system in rebel-held Ukraine this week, possible evidence of Moscow’s continued interest in Ukraine even as it focuses on Syria. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, which is monitoring a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, reported that its monitors had seen a mobile TOS-1 ‘Buratino’ weapons system for the first time. The Buratino is equipped with thermobaric warheads which spread a flammable liquid around a target and then ignite it. It can destroy several city blocks in one strike and cause indiscriminate damage. Only Russia produces the system and it was not exported to Ukraine before the conflict broke out, according to IHS Jane’s Group and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which track arms exports. The OSCE’s findings are embarrassing for the Kremlin, which has turned down its rhetoric on Ukraine and shifted attention to Syria, where it has begun air strikes. The report comes before President Vladimir Putin holds talks in Paris on Friday with the leaders of Germany, France and Ukraine on the peace process. The Russian defense ministry did not reply to written questions from Reuters about whether Ukrainian rebels were supplied with the weapon or where it had been exported.

The United States is poised to send naval ships and aircraft to the South China Sea in a challenge to Beijing’s territorial claims to its rapidly-built artificial islands, U.S. officials told Foreign Policy. The move toward a somewhat more muscular stance follows talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington last month, which fell far short of a breakthrough over how territorial disputes should be settled in the strategic South China Sea. A final decision has not been made. But the Obama administration is heavily leaning toward using a show of military might after Chinese opposition ended diplomatic efforts to halt land reclamation and the construction of military outposts in the waterway. The timing and details of the patrols — which would be designed to uphold principles of freedom of navigation in international waters — are still being worked out, Obama administration and Pentagon officials said. “It’s not a question of if, but when,” said a Defense Department official.

World economic growth lost momentum in September, with China’s factory output shrinking again, euro zone manufacturing growth slowing, and U.S. activity steady. The latest business surveys across Asia, Europe and the Americas paint a gloomier picture and are likely to prompt more calls for central banks to loosen monetary policy even further. “The data probably increases the case for more stimulus in certain parts of the world, especially from the People’s Bank of China and the European Central Bank,” said Philip Shaw, economist at Investec in London. “Those economies that are at less advanced paths of the recovery cycle — the key example is the euro zone, where we’re looking at more disinflation — may well find more stimulus is in order.” Meanwhile, The disappointing jobs report for September released Friday diminishes but doesn’t entirely eliminate the chance of a Federal Reserve interest-rate increase at its Dec. 15-16 policy meeting, economists said. While the data all but rule out a move this month, a December rate hike remains a live, albeit less-likely, option, they said. Policy makers will get a lot more information about the economy, including two more payrolls reports, before the December meeting. With 13 of 17 Fed officials predicting 2015 liftoff in their latest forecasts, they will be loath to abandon their plans for their first rate increase since 2006 just yet.

An Alabama sheriff has reportedly decided to comply with demands from an atheist group and a First Amendment watchdog that he remove a decal featuring a Bible verse that was placed on patrol cars earlier this year. Despite only being added to Houston County Sheriff’s Office vehicles a few months ago, Sheriff Donald Valenza decided to remove the decals, which included the sheriff office’s badge along with words from Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Legal representation for the county recommended that Valenza remove the decals — though he was reportedly not required to do so — after Americans United for Separation of Church and State, a First Amendment watchdog, threatened to sue, the Dothan Eagle reported. The Freedom From Religion Foundation, an atheist group, also sent a letter demanding the removal. “Of course neither the commission nor anyone here supports that request, however we contacted our liability insurance carrier and their attorneys said, if we take this to court, they said we’re going to lose,” Houston County Administrator Bill Dempsey told the Dothan Eagle of the demand for removal. “The county would be looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal expenses.” Many locals — including local government leaders — wanted to see the decal stay, and a Facebook page titled, “I Support Blessed Are The Peace makers on the Houston County Sheriff Cars,” has already attracted 4,700 “likes.” The Freedom From Religion Foundation, though, praised the decision to remove the decals.

And they would stand up and he said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you are going to see God in just about one second.’ And then he shot and killed them,” Stacy Boylen, whose daughter was wounded at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., told CNN. A Twitter user named @bodhilooney, who said her grandmother was at the scene of the carnage, tweeted that if victims said they were Christian, “then they were shot in the head. If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs.” Gunman Chris Harper-Mercer’s disdain for religion was evident in an online profile, in which he became a member of a “doesn’t like organized religion” group on an Internet dating site. Kort­ney Moore, 18, said she saw the teacher of her Writing 115 class get shot in the head at the college’s Snyder Hall before the gunman started asking people to state their religion and opening fire, the city’s News-Review newspaper reported.

Headline: Hurricane Joaquin to Impact Over 65 Million From South Carolina to Massachusetts

Governors in six East Coast states have declared a state of emergency Friday as the coast prepares for potential torrential rain and severe flooding from powerful Hurricane Joaquin. The Category 4 storm is unlikely to make direct landfall, but forecasters are warning of flash floods from historic Charleston, South Carolina, to Washington, D C., and officials in Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Delaware are bracing for the worst. “We’re becoming increasingly confident and concerned about the heavy rainfall,” David Novak, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland, told the Associated Press. Two storm-related deaths have already occurred in the Carolinas, where heavy rain has fallen for days. The fatal unpredictability of the rain was shown when a Thursday morning downpour dumped 4 inches on Spartanburg, South Carolina in a short time, causing flash floods that submerged several cars. Authorities around the region have warned of saturated soil giving way to falling trees.

On Tuesday morning, IDF fired warning shots near Shaaba Farms area on Har Dov after it claimed several people crossed the border. After the warning shots, the people turned back. Lebanon’s al-Manar television station reported Israeli army forces crossed the border fence along the Lebanon border and searched the area some 50 meters inside the territory. The report added it a group of Lebanese intelligence officers who the IDF fired warning shots at, who were accompanied by a filming crew documenting “Israeli violations in the Shaaba Farms area.” Last January, two Israeli soldiers were killed and seven wounded after an anti-tank missile struck an Israel Defense Forces vehicle in the Har Dov area near the Lebanon border.

Headline: Palestinian forces detain 500 Hamas West Bankers, to thwart coup and Abbas assassination plot

Acting on direct orders from Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian special forces raided the nine PA-ruled towns of the West Bank in the past 48 hours and detained 500 Hamas suspects, debkafile’s military sources report. Abbas ordered the operation after discovering that Hamas had been hatching a plot for some weeks to stage an armed insurrection against the Palestinian Authority, starting in one of the Palestinian towns – possibly even the PA capital of Ramallah. They would assassinate him in the process of the coup. Of late, Abbas has kept his distance from Ramallah and his seat of government and spends most of his time traveling in foreign countries, especially Arab capitals, where he feels safer under the protection of foreign security services than he does at home. The wave of detentions from Sunday to Tuesday (March 9-10) is the most extensive the Palestinian Authority has ever conducted against Hamas’ West Bank cells. Not only prominent figures and known terror activists were taken into custody but also new figures. Abbas ordered the operation amid a serious dilemma over his personal security. Before him were reports presented by Palestinian Intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Majed Faraj revealing the preparations in train for his assassination, an event that would signal mass riots orchestrated by Hamas and Jihad Islami, leading up to the seizure of government from the Palestinian Authority – much as they did in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, Abbas does not entirely trust Palestinian security services or their ability to safeguard him and his regime in Ramallah. He therefore turned to Israel, touching off an IDF response that had nothing to do with Israel’s forthcoming general election on March 17 – as government opponents have claimed.
The 3,000 IDF soldiers plus 10,000 reservists called up this week were not posted on the West Bank to practice anti-riot tactics for putting down Palestinians disturbances against Jewish settlements – as reported. They were placed on the ready in case it was necessary to go into Palestinian towns and save them from being overrun by the radical Hamas and Jihad Islami. The Israeli troops also rehearsed a possible scenario that might ensue from the murder of Mahmoud Abbas.

Headline: Islamic State releases execution video of ‘Mossad spy’

The Islamic State on Tuesday released a video which appeared to show a child execute an East Jerusalem Arab who joined its ranks, and who the radical Islamist group claimed was a Mossad agent. The 13-minute clip released online also listed other people the jihadist group claimed were working for Israeli intelligence. Israeli officials told Reuters that they were aware of the video but hadn’t yet authenticated it. The contents of the video couldn’t be independently verified. In the video, Muhammad Said Ismail Musallam, 20, was seen kneeling in an orange jumpsuit before an armed man and a teenage boy. The boy appeared to shoot Musallam repeatedly with a pistol. The other man, speaking in French, issued a tirade against the Jews, including praise for a recent terrorist attack in Paris in which four Jewish men were killed at a kosher supermarket, and threatened to attack Israel. “O Jews, indeed Allah has gifted us with killing your followers in your own stronghold in France. As for here in the Islamic State, here are the young lions of the Khilafah,” the IS member said, referring to the groups of children the jihadists train to become future fighters. “They will kill the one sent by the foolish Mossad to spy on the secrets of the mujahidin and the Muslims.” The man went on to vow that IS “will liberate Jerusalem from you filth, by Allah’s permission.”

An Israeli partner in the Leviathan offshore gas field said on Wednesday a Palestinian Arab company had cancelled a $1.2-billion supply contract, citing delays by Israel’s Antitrust Authority. Delek said it had informed the Tel Aviv stock exchange that a 20-year contract it had signed with the Palestine Power Generation Co was cancelled by the Arabs on Tuesday, reports AFP. Delek said this was because of “non-fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in the agreement, and essentially non-receipt of the approval of the Antitrust Authority, the delay in approving the development plan of the Leviathan project as well as other regulatory approvals required by law.” The statement by Delek said the contract’s cancellation would be effective within 30 days.

Addressing the European Parliament in Strasbourg, Abdallah praised Europe’s “unbeatable courage” in responding to attacks such as those in Paris in January and likened Islamic State to Nazism — “an expansionist ideology based on hatred.” But in calling for cooperation to combat Islamist violence, the king, who attended commemorations for the slain French satirists of Charlie Hebdo but criticized the paper’s use of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), said that European governments must promote “mutual respect” and an “inclusive society.”

Iran’s top general said Wednesday his country has reached “a new chapter” towards its declared aim of exporting revolution, in reference to Tehran’s growing regional influence, while hailing the role of Hizbullah in resisting Israel. Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of the nation’s powerful Revolutionary Guards Corps, said: “Hizbullah and its resistance against one of the armies in the world — that is to say the army of the Zionist regime.. is one of the Islamic revolution’s miracles,” he said. “It is (part of) the powerful influence of the Islamic system as the helmsman in the region.” “Supporting Lebanon and the Gaza Strip are among the Islamic Republic’s fundamental principles,” he added. His comments come amid concern among some of Shiite Iran’s neighbors about Tehran’s role. “The Islamic revolution is advancing with good speed, its example being the ever-increasing export of the revolution,” he said, according to the ISNA news agency. “Today, not only Palestine and Lebanon acknowledge the influential role of the Islamic republic but so do the people of Iraq and Syria. They appreciate the nation of Iran,” Jafari said in a speech before the Assembly of Experts, Iran’s top clerical body.

Headline: Deadly bomb attacks hit Egypt’s Sinai peninsula

Bomb attacks targeting the police and army in Egypt’s restive Sinai peninsula have killed two people and wounded more than 30, officials say. A suicide bomber targeted a police compound in the city of El-Arish, leaving a civilian driver dead. A roadside bomb later exploded beside an armoured vehicle, killing a soldier. Sinai Province, a jihadist group affiliated to Islamic State, claimed it was behind the first attack, the al-Yawm al-Sabaa newspaper reported. In the first attack, the suicide bomber drove a water tanker filled with explosives into the gate at the rear entrance to the police compound in El-Arish shortly after 06:00 (04:00 GMT), security officials said. As the vehicle approached, police fired on it, detonating the explosives inside. The blast killed the bomber and a civilian worker at a nearby electricity company who had been driving by the compound. Shortly after the attack, an army officer was killed and three soldiers were wounded when a roadside bomb exploded beside their armoured vehicle a few kilometres away. Meanwhile, two suspected militants died when a bomb they were transporting on a motorbike exploded in Fayoum, a town south-west of Cairo, security officials told the AP news agency. One of the men was wanted for a previous attack on a police station in Fayoum, they added.

Headline:   Egypt government appeals court ruling labeling Hamas as ‘terrorist’

Hamas drones reportedly flew out of the Gaza Strip and into Egyptian airspace above the Sinai Peninsula several times last week as the Egyptian army stood by helpless to prevent the incursions. Egyptian radar picked up three drones flying out of the southern Gaza Strip on numerous occasions, the Egyptian Al Osboa newspaper reported. The unmanned aerial vehicles penetrated as far as El Arish and Sheikh Zuweid, some 50 kilometers from the Egypt-Gaza border. Border forces opened fire on the drones but couldn’t hit them because they were flying at an altitude of 750 meters (2,2250 feet), the report said. Under the terms of the 1979 peace deal with Israel, Egypt is not allowed to station any anti-aircraft weapons in the Sinai region, so its forces have been unable to prevent the Hamas activities.

Syria Headline:  Regime in new Latakia campaign

The Syrian regime has launched a new offensive under the cover of heavy aerial bombardment in the northeastern outskirts of Latakia, amid opposition fears of massacres in the mountain region. The government’s latest military campaign, which comes in conjunction with offensives in Aleppo and the south, aims to take the town of Salma, a rebel stronghold approximately 35 kilometers northeast of Latakia. Rebels first seized Salma—one of the Latakia provinces majority Sunni-populated towns—in December 2012, and have since launched a number of operations from the area, which constitutes the insurgent-held front line to Latakia and the Assad family’s hometown of Qardaha. “The regime hopes its campaign… will prevent a repeat of attacks like the recent car bombing in Assad’s hometown of Qardaha, put an end to opposition shelling of pro-regime villages in the coastal region, and protect its Al-Nawba Mountain observation point,” Alaraby Aljadeed reported Tuesday. “If the regime advances beyond [rebel-held mountain areas] the Latakia-Aleppo road will be threatened and, as a result, the regime will have cut off the opposition’s supply line.”

Iraq Headline:   Shiite (Iranian) militias, Iraqi forces surround Tikrit

Iraqi forces entered a northern neighborhood of Tikrit Wednesday, marking a new stage in the operation launched 10 days ago to wrest the city back from jihadists, army officers said. “We are now doing combat missions to cleanse the neighborhood of Qadisiyah,” a major general told AFP on condition of anonymity. “We were able to control Tikrit military hospital, which is close to the center of the city,” he said. “But we are engaging in a very delicate battle because we are not facing fighters on the ground, we are facing booby-trapped terrain and sniper fire. Our movement is slow,” the senior officer said. He said the forces that entered Qadisiyah on Wednesday morning included army and police, as well as members of the large volunteer force called Popular Mobilization units. Iraqi forces have been closing in for days but had largely refrained from entering the city, launching only small-scale operations on the edges of Tikrit and laying siege to it. Several other military and political sources confirmed that Iraqi forces had retaken control of a significant part of Qadisiyah, a large neighborhood stretching north of the city center.

Iraq Headline:   ISIS attacks Iraq’s Ramadi with seven car bombs: police

A coordinated Islamic State attack in Ramadi, Iraq, Wednesday, involved seven car bombings, killing 10 and injuring 30. Suburbs of the city of about one half million, 60 miles west of Baghdad, are under IS control, and the near-simultaneous car bombings occurred in government-held parts of the central area, which have come under regular IS attack. Police said fighting, including mortar rounds fired at government’s provincial council headquarters, followed the car bombs. The attacks occurred as IS began an offensive on the strategic town of Ras al-Ain, on the Syria-Turkey border, where forces linked to al-Qaida were expelled in 2013 by Kurdish soldiers. The assault Wednesday initiated intense fighting with the town’s Kurdish militia. “Fighters from the Islamic State group started a huge assault towards Ras al-Ain, and were able to take over a village nearby,” said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, adding that Ras Al-Ain was under Kurdish control.

Hundreds of Islamic State fighters have launched an attack on Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria, triggering fierce fighting that has killed dozens on both sides, a group monitoring the war said on Wednesday. The Kurdish YPG militia, backed by U.S.-led air strikes, had made significant gains in recent weeks against Islamic State in the region, cutting an important supply route from territory controlled by the militant group in Iraq. Islamic State appeared to try to seize back the initiative on Tuesday, attacking Kurdish forces using tanks and heavy weapons around Ras al-Ayn town near the Turkish border, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. An official in a Kurdish-run defense council in the area also reported heavy clashes in the area of Ras al-Ayn and said the Kurdish forces had been forced to withdraw from a nearby village. “There are martyrs and dead but the number of martyrs is unknown so far,” said the official, speaking via Skype. The fighting continued into Wednesday. It was not clear exactly how many fighters had been killed on both sides.

Secretary of State John Kerry urged lawmakers Wednesday to give President Barack Obama updated war powers to go after Islamic jihadists at “a pivotal hour” in the battle against the terrorists, reports AFP. “Our nation is strongest when we act together – and we simply cannot allow this collection of murderers and thugs to achieve its ambitions,” Kerry told Congress. He said the Islamic State (ISIS) group which has captured a swath of land in Iraq and Syria, wanted to ensure “the death or submission of all who oppose it” as well as “the incitement of terrorist acts across the globe.” Appearing at the Senate foreign relations committee, Kerry as well as Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and the top US military officer, General Martin Dempsey, called for a united vote in favor of a new authorization for use of military force (AUMF) to take on ISIS. Tantamount to a declaration of war, the authority would provide Obama political cover at home and a firmer legal basis on which to prosecute the fight, particularly among allies abroad who have joined a US-led international coalition.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday they would not be able to modify any nuclear agreement struck between the United States and Iran despite threats by Republican senators. In congressional testimony, Kerry said he responded with “utter disbelief” to an open letter signed by 47 Republican senators that warned that any nuclear agreement would only last as long as U.S. President Barack Obama remains in office. “When it says that Congress could actually modify the terms of an agreement at any time is flat wrong. You don’t have the right to modify an agreement reached executive to executive between leaders of a country,” Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which does not include Senator Tom Cotton, the Republican from Arkansas who wrote the letter. The White House slammed the letter as “reckless” and “irresponsible,” warning that it interfered with efforts to negotiate with the Iranians. The negotiations, which resume in Lausanne, Switzerland, next week led by Kerry, are at a critical juncture as the sides try to meet an end of March target for an interim deal, with a final deal in June that would ease crippling sanctions against Iran’s economy.

At least thirteen people have been killed and tens of others injured when a string of bomb explosions ripped through the northern and southern parts of war-wracked Afghanistan.  A senior police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said one civilian lost his life and 16 others sustained injuries when a bomb exploded near a hospital in Baghlan’s provincial capital city of Puli Khumri, located 230 kilometers (142 miles) north of the capital, Kabul, on Tuesday. The official added that the blast targeted a police vehicle, though no police officer was wounded. Separately, eight people were killed and 23 others wounded when a car bomb blast struck a police checkpoint in Afghanistan’s southern province of Helmand. Omar Zwak, a spokesman for the provincial governor, said the blast took place as a bomber detonated his explosives-laden car near the checkpoint on the outskirts of the provincial capital city of Lashkar Gah, located about 555 kilometers (344 miles) south of the capital, Kabul, on Tuesday. He added that the dead included six civilians and two police officers. In another development of Tuesday, a roadside bombing killed four people and wounded five elsewhere in Afghanistan. No individual or group has claimed responsibility for the acts of terror. However, such incidents are usually blamed on Taliban militants.

Headline:   ISIS Finds New Frontier in Chaotic Libya

The Islamic State has established more than a foothold in this Mediterranean port. Its fighters dominate the city center so thoroughly that a Libyan brigade sent to dislodge the group remains camped on the outskirts, visibly afraid to enter and allowing the extremists to come and go as they please. Libya has become a new frontier for the radical group as it comes under increasing pressure from American-led airstrikes on its original strongholds in Iraq and Syria. While other extremists organizations may have sought only to capitalize on the Islamic State’s fearsome name, the contingent here in Surt has not only taken over a major Libyan city but also demonstrated clear coordination with the parent organization, also known as ISIS or ISIL and based in Syria. That close cooperation so far sets the Islamic State group in Surt apart from the wave of other militants who have pledged allegiance to ISIS from Afghanistan, Algeria, Nigeria and Egypt, or even in Libya’s southern and eastern provinces.

This is what is also expected by Turkey by the international community,” said an official at a government agency, who declined to be identified. He did not say when the crossing would be reopened.

Headline:     Turkish police use teargas to subdue protesters marking teen’s death

Turkish police on Wednesday fired water cannon and teargas at hundreds of protesters who had gathered to mark the first anniversary of the death of a teenager fatally wounded during anti-government demonstrations. Mainly leftist protesters chanting “Berkin Elvan is immortal” clashed with police in Istanbul and Ankara. Berkin Elvan, 15, was hit in the head by a teargas canister after leaving his house to buy bread during violent anti-government protests that wracked Istanbul in June 2013. He fell into coma and died nine months later on March 11, 2014. His death sparked further protests among those angry over a lack of prosecutions. President Tayyip Erdogan, prime minister at the time of the 2013 protests, said Elvan was linked to “terrorist” groups. In Elvan’s neighborhood of Okmeydani, almost 1,000 protesters marched toward the cemetery where Elvan was buried, then attempted to rush armored police vehicles that fired water cannon. Police chased protesters into side streets using tear gas and rubber bullets, witnesses said. At Gezi Park in central Istanbul – the center of the 2013 protests – police detained eight high-school students who splattered the area in red paint meant to resemble blood and unfurled a banner saying “Berkin is here”. In the capital, Ankara, police detained 11 people who had blocked traffic in the working-class district of Tuzlucayir, Hurriyet newspaper reported on its website. Tuzlucayir is largely inhabited by members of the Alevi faith, as was Elvan.

Headline: Nigeria’s President: Boko Haram Trained with Islamic State

At least seven people have been killed and 17 others injured after two bomb explosions hit a busy market and a nearby commercial street in the northeastern city of Maiduguri in Nigeria’s restive Borno state. “Seven persons died while 17 others were injured. The rescue is still ongoing,” Borno state police commissioner, Clement Adoda, told reporters on Tuesday. Adoda referred to only one blast after initial reports of two explosions at the city’s Monday Market and in a nearby street. Bukar Ali, one of the witnesses, also said “nobody is allowed close to the scenes of the blast.” No one has so far claimed responsibility for the deadly explosions, but they bear the hallmarks of the attacks by Boko Haram Takfiri militant group. Meanwhile, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan says fighters from insurgent group Boko Haram have traveled to the Middle East for training with Islamic State militants. Jonathan declined to name the countries where the fighters were allegedly trained. But in an interview with VOA Wednesday, he said he’s long suspected Boko Haram of having alliances with international extremist groups. “So we know the links are there. But even now, we may not know the degree of linkages as to how much funds are coming in from them, the kind of volume of weapons coming in from them, the nationalities coming from them,” Jonathan said. “But the training, because some of the Boko Haram members go to have their training in the ISIS camp and come back.”

Sheikh asserted that the armed group members had briefly assumed control of the town before being repulsed by Somali troops. Meanwhile, Al-Shabaab, on the group’s website, said five government soldiers had been killed in the Wanlaweyn attack. The group also said its fighters had freed a number of prisoners and made off with two police vehicles after successfully torching the police station.

A powerful bomb blast struck a crowded marketplace in India’s restive northeast Wednesday killing four people and injuring another 15, officials said. The blast shook the heart of Imphal, state capital of Manipur, which borders Myanmar — an area that has been plagued by separatist violence for decades. “Most of the victims were either shoppers or vendors,” senior state police official A.K. Singh told AFP by phone from Imphal, adding that “a powerful IED (improvised explosive device) was planted.” “The injured have been shifted to the local medical college hospital, with at least six of them having serious multiple injuries,” Singh said. Hospital officials said four bodies had been recovered from the blast site. No rebel group has claimed responsibility for the attack and it was not immediately clear what the motive was.

Headline:  Greece threatens to seize German property, Berlin refuses to pay WWII reparations

Germany once again dismissed Greek demands to pay reparations for the 1941-44 Nazi occupation of Greece. “It is our firm belief that questions of reparations and compensation have been legally and politically resolved,” said Steffen Seibert, the spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “We should concentrate on current issues and, hopefully, what will be a good future,” Reuters reported him as saying. A spokesman for the finance ministry said there was no point in holding talks with the Greek government concerning the issue of reparations. The spokesman also added that the demands from Athens were just trying to distract attention away from the serious financial problems the country is facing. With Germany refusing to budge from its position concerning the payment of war reparations, Greece’s Justice Minister said Wednesday that Athens could start seizing German assets. Nikos Paraskevopoulos said he was “ready to approve” a Greek Supreme Court ruling in 2000 that would allow the appropriation of assets belonging to Germany’s archaeological school and the Goethe Institute. Proceeds from the property would be used to compensate the relatives of 218 civilians who were massacred by Nazi troops in a village in central Greece in June 1944. “The law states that the minister must give the order for the Supreme Court ruling to be carried out…. I am ready to give that order,” Paraskevopoulos told Antenna TV, AFP reported.

Headline: Euro heading for dollar parity

The euro is set to hit parity with the US dollar in the coming weeks as a combination of quantitative easing and fears over a Greek exit from the eurozone continues to fuel a plunge in its value. The euro has lost 10 percent against the dollar and the pound sterling since January. This has largely been attributed to the European Central Bank’s recently launched €1.1 trillion quantitative easing (QE) programme, which will pump an extra €60 billion into the eurozone economy every month until September 2016, alongside renewed fears that Greece could be forced out of the single currency bloc. At the close of trading on Tuesday (10 March), one euro was worth $1.07 and £0.71 respectively, its lowest rate against the dollar since September 2003 and lowest level against the pound since 2007. Market analysts expect the euro to slide further against the greenback because the ECB’s bond-buying programme is expected to be accompanied by the first interest rate rise in the US since the 2008-9 financial crisis. The falling euro is also putting increasing pressure on Denmark to follow the lead set by Switzerland last month and abandon rules capping its kroner currency to the euro, as the kroner becomes too strong to maintain the link. The euro lost nearly 20 percent of its value in a day against the Swiss franc after the Swiss national bank abandoned a three year cap on the franc’s value against the single currency in mid-January.

Headline:  China may be ending dollar’s hold on reserve currency as early as September

On March 9, sources within China provided new information that validates that the Far Eastern economy is now ready to compete with, or even supplant, the dollar as the sole global reserve currency as early as September of this year. Having already completed a message interchange system that mirrors the same one in the West, the Chinese equivalent of SWIFT is now ready and is expected to be fully operational by the 3rd quarter of 2015, which will allow other nations to transact with the world’s largest economy without the need to purchase dollars as a medium of exchange. Additionally, there has been a great deal of speculation over the past two years that China might back their currency with gold once they are fully ready to float it as a global reserve, with strong indications showing that at the very least, China will be calling for the use of international letters of credit or trade notes that are backed by gold to help stabilize transactions using this historical form of sound money.

Headline:   Economist Tells Congress: U.S. May Be in ‘Worse Fiscal Shape’ Than Greece

The U.S. has a $210 trillion “fiscal gap” and “may well be in worse fiscal shape than any developed country, including Greece,” Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff told members of the Senate Budget Committee in written and oral testimony on Feb. 25. “The first point I want to get across is that our nation is broke,” Kotlikoff testified. “Our nation’s broke, and it’s not broke in 75 years or 50 years or 25 years or 10 years. It’s broke today. “Indeed, it may well be in worse fiscal shape than any developed country, including Greece,” he said. (See Kotlikoff—Testimony-to-Senate-Budget-Committe.pdf) In January, Fitch downgraded Greece, whose debt-to-Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio is 175 percent, from Stable to Negative. “This declaration of national insolvency will, no doubt, shock those of you who use the officially reported federal debt as the measuring stick for what our country owes,” Kotlikoff told committee members who are considering President Obama’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2016.

U.S. stocks closed more than 1.5 percent lower on Tuesday, pressured by a surge in the dollar and some weakness in oil. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 300 points to below the index’s 50-day moving average, wiping out gains for the year. The S&P 500 also traded in the red for the year and breached its 50-day moving average, which is an indicator of the market trend. Only the Nasdaq held onto gains of about 3 percent for the year. There’s “concern that energy and the strength in the dollar will somehow be negative for the equities,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities. He noted that the speed of the dollar’s surge was the greatest market driver, amid mixed economic data and concerns about the Federal Reserve raising interest rates.

Public health officials across the West Coast are urging medical professionals to look out for cases of ocular syphilis – a sexually transmitted disease that can cause blindness – after two potential cases in Los Angeles recently. On Thursday, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued an advisory for primary and eye-care providers to look out for symptoms associated with the disease, which is usually a complication of primary or secondary syphilis infections. With more than a dozen cases – most of them among gay men – reported between Seattle and San Francisco and now potentially two in Southern California, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation is calling for medical professionals to do more. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, California’s syphilis rate was second in the country behind only Georgia. Los Angeles also had the highest number of primary and secondary cases of syphilis of any county in the U.S. in 2013, the CDC reported.

Headline: Mutating H7N9 bird flu may pose pandemic threat, scientists warn

A wave of H7N9 bird flu in China that has spread into people may have the potential to emerge as a pandemic strain in humans, scientists said on Wednesday. The H7N9 virus, one of several strains of bird flu known to be able to infect humans, has persisted, diversified and spread in chickens across China, the researchers said, fuelling a resurgence of infections in people and posing a wider threat. “The expansion of genetic diversity and geographical spread indicates that, unless effective control measures are in place, H7N9 could be expected to persist and spread beyond the region,” they said in a study published in the journal Nature. The H7N9 bird flu virus emerged in humans in March 2013 and has since then infected at least 571 people in China, Taipei, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Canada, killing 212 of them, according to February data from the World Health Organization (WHO).

An outbreak of swine flu in India has killed over 1,500 people, and U.S. scientists warned Wednesday that the virus behind the outbreak has acquired mutations that make it more dangerous than previously circulating strains of H1N1 influenza. The findings, published in the U.S. journal Cell Host & Microbe, contradicted previous reports from Indian health officials that the strain has not changed from the North American version of H1N1 that emerged in 2009 and has been circulating around the world ever since. “It has been extensively reported in India that a virus similar to A/California/07/2009 is responsible for the current outbreak,” study author Ram Sasisekharan, professor of Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), said in a statement. “Examination of the Indian H1N1 flu viruses that circulated in 2014 shows amino acid mutations that make them distinct from the A/ California/07/2009 virus.”

The next time the people of Capracotta, Italy, hear the folks in Boston complain about a snow season of more than 100 inches, they’ll be like: “That’s nice. We’ve been known to get that much in one day.” In 18 hours, actually. It’s not an official record yet, but it looks like the Italian village got 100.8 inches (256 centimeters) on Thursday, setting the all-time mark for most snow in 24 hours. Pescocostanzo, about 21 miles (34.6 kilometers) away, only got 94.5 inches (240 cm). That’s more than Boston got in January and February combined, but just short of the 107.9 inches the city totaled so far for the whole season. One of the photos posted on MeteoWeb, the Italian weather website that reported the immense snowfall, showed a resident standing on top of the accumulation shaking hands with a neighbor. She is in a second-story window. The town, which has about 1,000 residents and sits at an altitude of 4,662 feet (1,421 meters), is prone to heavy one-day snowfalls, MeteoWeb reported. You might conclude it’s in the Italian Alps given all that snow, but that’s not the case. It’s about a three-hour drive east of Rome, roughly halfway down the Italian Peninsula, not far from the Adriatic Sea. But it is in the mountains and is vulnerable to weather coming from the northeast. The World Meteorological Organization will confirm whether the snowfall actually surpassed the 24-hour snowfall record — 75.8 inches — from Silver Lake, Colorado, set in 1921.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will not cede territory due to the current climate in the Middle East, appearing to rule out the establishment of a Palestinian state. Netanyahu said “any evacuated territory would fall into the hands of Islamic extremism and terror organizations supported by Iran. Therefore, there will be no concessions and no withdrawals. It is simply irrelevant.” The statement was released by his Likud party Sunday. Netanyahu is seeking to appeal to hard-liners ahead of elections next week. Party spokesman Elie Bennett says Netanyahu’s 2009 speech calling for a Palestinian state alongside Israel is not currently relevant. The international community has long pushed for the creation of a Palestinian state on lands captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. Netanyahu’s spokesman declined comment.

Karim added that the Commission collects “data and evidence” with the help of human rights organizations and is preparing the legal arguments to be presented to the ICC after it is declared “the State of Palestine” by the court on April 1, 2015.

Headline: Iranian Al Qods chief on landmark visit to Amman as guest of Jordan’s national intelligence director

debkafile’s military and intelligence sources reveal exclusively that Gen. Qassem Soleiman, commander of the Revolutionary Guards elite Al Qods Brigades, paid a groundbreaking visit last Thursday, March 5, to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as guest of Gen. Faisal Al-Shoulbaki, director of General Intelligence and a close adviser to King Abdullah II. The visit, encouraged by Obama administration policy, showed one of America’s oldest Sunni Arab allies, recognizing the direction of the trending regional reality to jump the lines over to Tehran. Iran’s grab for Middle East influence is now reaching from four capitals, Baghdad, Damascus, Sanaa, Beirut to a fifth, Amman. Our sources report that Royal Jordanian Air Force fighter jets escorted the Iranian general’s armored motorcade as it drove from Baghdad to Amman through the main highway connecting the two Arab capitals. It is not known whether the king gave Soleimani an audience, but the possibility is not ruled out. His talks with Jordan’s intelligence and military heads ranged widely over the battles in Iraq and Syria against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant-ISIS. This suggests that Jordan has shown willingness to take the first step towards coordinating its policies and military operations with Tehran – not just with Washington as hitherto. Some 12,000 American soldiers are posted to Jordan, most of them members of elite US combat units. Their primary task is to safeguard the throne against threats from Syria and Al Qaeda and its affiliates.

Headline:   SYRIAN JIHADISTS SIGNAL INTENT FOR LEBANON

Both the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and the al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) plan to conduct attacks in Lebanon in the near term. Widely presumed to be enemies, recent reports of an upcoming joint JN and ISIS offensive in Lebanon, when coupled with ongoing incidents of cooperation between these groups, indicate that the situation between these groups in Lebanon is as fluid and complicated as in Syria. Although they are direct competitors that have engaged in violent confrontation in other areas, JN and ISIS have co-existed in the Syrian-Lebanese border region since 2013, and their underground networks in southern and western Lebanon may overlap in ways that shape their local relationship. JN and ISIS are each likely to pursue future military operations in Lebanon that serve separate but complementary objectives. Since 2013 both groups have occasionally shown a willingness to cooperate in a limited fashion in order to capitalize on their similar objectives in Lebanon. This unusual relationship appears to be unique to Lebanon and the border region, and does not extend to other battlefronts. Despite recent clashes that likely strained this relationship in February 2015, contention between the groups in this area has not escalated beyond localized skirmishes. This suggests that both parties have a mutual interest in preserving their coexistence in this strategically significant area. In January 2015, JN initiated a new campaign of spectacular attacks against Lebanese supporters of the Syrian regime, while ISIS has increased its mobilization in the border region since airstrikes against ISIS in Syria began in September 2014. Conditions favor a continued limited détente between JN and ISIS past March 2015.

Saudi-ArabiaSaudi Arabia

Headline:  Saudi Arabia Prepares for Iranian Nuclear Deal

Saudi Arabia is quietly preparing for an international nuclear agreement with Iran that it fears will rehabilitate its Shiite Persian rival. King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud’s approach eschews the public spectacle of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress (indeed, the Saudis don’t want any association with Israel) and instead focuses on regional alliances to contain an emergent Iran. The Saudis publicly welcomed US Secretary of State John Kerry’s assurances in Riyadh last week that Washington will not accept a bad nuclear deal with Iran, and that a deal will not inaugurate a grand rapprochement between Washington and Tehran. They remain deeply skeptical about the negotiations, however, and are preparing for any outcome in the P5+1 process. The Saudis recognize that a successful deal between Iran, the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany will enjoy broad international backing and United Nations endorsement. Riyadh has no interest in being isolated in a dissenting minority with Netanyahu against a deal backed by a global majority. The royal family despises Israel, and Netanyahu is regarded as a war criminal by most Saudis. Any hint of mutual interest with Israel is unpalatable in the kingdom. So the Saudi approach is to strengthen its regional alliances for long-term confrontation with Tehran. Most immediately, this means strengthening the unity of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). It has strong allies in Abu Dhabi and Manama. In Riyadh’s eyes, there are two weak links in GCC collusion against Iran: Oman and Qatar. Neither is likely to give up their bilateral lucrative ties to Iran, but Salman is pressing both to adhere to GCC unity and not facilitate Iranian subversion.

A U.S.-led coalition air strike in Syria hit an oil refinery run by the Islamic State militant group near the border with Turkey on Sunday, killing 30 people, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Observatory, said the dead were refinery workers and Islamic State militants. The targeted refinery was just northeast of the town of Tel Abyad near the Turkish border, he said. Asked about the report, a spokesman for the U.S. Combined Joint Task Force overseeing the fight against Islamic State, said: “When an allegation of civilian casualties caused by U.S. or coalition forces is determined to be credible, a thorough investigation would be launched to determine the accuracy of the claim and any circumstances surrounding it.” The spokesman said U.S. and coalition forces had implemented “significant mitigation measures within the targeting process and during the conduct of operations to reduce the potential of civilian casualties and collateral damage.”

An air strike in northwestern Syria hit a camp used by the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front on Sunday, killing at least nine of its fighters, a monitoring group said, in the second big attack on the group there in four days. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said four of the dead were foreign fighters. The air strike hit close to Atimah at the Syrian border with Turkey in Idlib province. Last week, the Nusra Front’s top military commander and several other leaders were killed in an air strike in Idlib. The Syrian army said it carried out the attack. The leader of a mainstream rebel group said the latest air strike appeared to have been carried out by the U.S.-led alliance that has been attacking Islamic State in Syria, citing the precision of the strike and the strength of the explosion.

A senior Kurdish military official has said they have information that Islamic State (IS) militants are withdrawing from the strategic town of Hawija in southern Kirkuk, seen as the strongest base of IS in Kirkuk Province. Peshmerga Deputy Minister Anwar Haji Osman told BasNews on Monday that the IS militants have lost confidence and withdrawn from a number of frontlines in the south and east of oil-rich Kirkuk Province. “IS militants can’t defend themselves and are fleeing from a number of frontlines in the area. We have received information that they have withdrawn from Hawija as well and are fleeing toward Mosul,” said Osman. He also said that most of the weapons that IS had in Hawija are now in the hands of Peshmerga forces. “They have also left behind numerous bodies of dead IS militants and a lot of armored vehicles,” added Osman. The Kurdish Commander also revealed that the Peshmerga plan to launch an operation to take Hawija, and IS stronghold.

Iraq Headline: Iraq Praises Iran’s Help in Fight Against ISIS

The top US military official said Monday he is “a bit concerned” about whether the international coalition fighting the Islamic State is sustainable for the longer-term challenge of confronting extremists in other regions. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters traveling with him that the basis of his concern is the possibility of continued sectarian divisions in Iraq. Dempsey said that in military terms the campaign against IS is “on path.” But he put equal emphasis on the importance of sustaining the coalition for the longer term. Shiite dominance in Baghdad upsets predominantly Sunni countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. “It won’t be enough to defeat (the Islamic State) just inside Iraq,” Dempsey said after a series of meetings with top government officials, including Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who assumed power last September, and Defense Minister Khalid al-Obeidi. Sunni Arab nations, in particular, need to be retained as partners against IS, Dempsey said. “And on that basis I came away with some concerns because the coalition has some concerns about” weak Iraqi governance. “I came away a bit concerned that it’s going to be difficult to sustain the coalition for the rest of the challenge, which is trans-regional, unless the government of Iraq can form that national unity platform to which they committed.” Highlighting those concerns at an earlier joint news conference al-Obeidi said his government is comfortable asking for and receiving help from Shiite-led Iran, a major U.S. adversary and an enemy of key U.S. allies in the Gulf, in its fight against Islamic State militants. “We are in a state of war,” al-Obeidi said, which requires Iraq to seek foreign assistance.

Headline: French PM warns that 10,000 Europeans may swell ISIS ranks by end of 2015

The number of Europeans swelling the Islamic State group’s ranks could reach 10,000 by the end of 2015, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls suggested on Sunday in an interview with French television, AFP reported Sunday. “There are 3,000 Europeans in Iraq and Syria today. When you do a projection for the months to come, there could be 5,000 before summer and 10,000 before the end of the year,” Valls warned, addressing the near three-fold increase of foreign born Islamic State militants. “Do you realize the threat this represents?” he asked. “There have already been nearly 90 French people who have died out there with a weapon in their hand, fighting against our own values.” Different organizations have provided various estimates of how many fighters have joined the Islamic State and other groups like it. According to the Tel-Aviv-based  Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, approximately between 6,000 and 7,000  fighters have traveled to Syria alone in order to fight the Assad regime. Meanwhile, the  US State Department has suggested that as many as 20,000 fighters from one hundred different countries have passed through both  Syria and Iraq.

Headline: Islamic State earns $1 billion in drug trafficking

Heroin traffic through Iraq from Afghanistan is earning the Islamic State over $1 billion dollars a year, Russia’s drug control chief said. Viktor Ivanov, head of the Russian Federal Drug Control Service (FSKN), said Friday, “The transit of heroin from Afghanistan though the Islamic State-controlled territory is huge financial sponsorship. According to our estimates, IS makes up to $1 billion on Afghan heroin trafficked through its territory.” In November the agency reported that half of all Europe’s heroin supply is brought through Iraq and through some African countries, in each case employing IS militants in the delivery stream. Transfer of heroin has become a reliable income source for IS, the agency said, adding that drug routes across the Gulf of Aden to African countries have increased the number of drug kingpins and pirate gangs. “The area of poppy plantations is growing,” Ivanov said. “This year, I think, we’ll hear news about record-high poppy harvest [and] therefore the high yield of opium and heroin. So this problem should be raised not only in Moscow, but also in the U.N. in general, because this is a threat not only to our country, but also European security.”

The United States has begun to deploy 3,000 troops on a three-month exercise to reassure Russia’s nervous neighbors in the Baltic, military officials said Monday. Operation Atlantic Resolve will see major NATO forces working alongside their allies in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia — former Soviet republics now members of the Western alliance. Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren said vehicles, helicopters and heavy equipment had begun arriving in the Latvian capital Riga and that the exercises would last 90 days. Warren said the deployed unit was a “Brigade Combat Team” — around 3,000 frontline soldiers. According to a US military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, the equipment would remain behind in the region after the troops of the Third Infantry Division return to base. Earlier, in Riga, US General John O’Connor told AFP the deployment would “demonstrate resolve to President (Vladimir) Putin and Russia that collectively we can come together.”

Headline: Republican senators warn Iran in open letter

Republican senators want to give Iranian leaders — and the president — a refresher on the constitutional balance of power. In a highly unusual move, a group of 47 Republicans in the upper chamber has written to Iran’s top leaders to let them know that any nuclear deal they reach with the United States would be “nothing more than an executive agreement.” Freshman Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) organized the letter, which features signatures from top Republican Senate leadership and potential presidential candidates such as Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky. The following Republican senators did not sign the bill: Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Dan Coats of Indiana, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, Susan Collins of Maine, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Jeff Flake of Arizona and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Democrats blasted the letter, with Minority Whip Dick Durbin calling it a “cynical effort” that lays bare partisan rancor for the world to see. “Understand that if these negotiations fail, a military response to Iran developing their nuclear capability becomes more likely,” Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a written statement. “These Republican Senators should think twice about whether their political stunt is worth the threat of another war in the Middle East.” Responding to the missive on Monday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that “writing a letter like this that appeals to the hardliners in Iran is frankly just the latest in an ongoing [Republican] strategy – a partisan strategy – to interfere” in foreign policy.

Headline:    IS Beheaded Libyan Guards in Attack That Seized 9 Foreigners

Headline: Libyan general sworn as top commander as his planes hit Tripoli airport

Militants from Libya’s Islamic State affiliate beheaded eight Libyan guards in an attack on a central oil field last week during which the extremists abducted nine foreigners, a Libyan spokesman said Monday. In the Philippines, authorities said Monday that four of their nationals were among the nine abducted from the oil field. An Austrian, a Czech, a Bangladeshi and a Ghana national were also taken while one hostage remains unidentified. Friday’s attack on the al-Ghani oil field near the town of Zalla, some 750 kilometers (470 miles) southeast of the capital, Tripoli, was part of a series of deadly assaults on Libya’s oil lucrative infrastructure by the Islamic State group. The attacks in recent weeks have forced Libya to declare 11 fields non-operational, including al-Ghani, and invoke a force majeure clause that exempts the state from contractual obligations. Libya’s military spokesman, Ahmed al-Mesmari, warned that Islamic State militants’ long-term goal is to take over Libya’s petroleum industry. “This is the lifeline of the Libyan people,” he said Monday, adding the consequences of such a loss would be dire. During the attack on al-Ghani, an employee watched the beheadings of the eight oil guards and subsequently died of a heart attack, al-Mesmari also said. He not elaborate on how the army knew about the beheadings but the force serving as oil guards is closely allied to the Libyan military, which answers to the eastern-based government, one of Libya’s two rival governments. In the Philippines, Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Charles Jose said Manila was working with the employer of the nine, Austrian-owned VAOS Oil Service, the Libyan government and embassies of the other foreigners abducted. The incident brings the total number of Filipinos missing in Libya to seven. Three others were snatched in another oil field on Feb. 3 and their whereabouts also remain unknown.

Headline: Saudis trying to woo Turkey into joining anti-Iran axis

Turkish sources say that the president dined with Saudi King Salman without bothering to have his food checked. What did grab attention, however, particularly in the Egyptian press, was the reception the Saudis afforded Erdogan in comparison with the welcome committee that greeted Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi, who was in the country at the same time. The Saudi king received the Egyptian leader in person whereas Erdogan, on his arrival at the airport, was greeted by the local governor and some aides. Clearly the Saudis are able to convey diplomatic messages without being vocal about it. Nevertheless, the very fact of Erdogan’s visit is a milestone in the foreign relations of the two countries. Unlike Salman’s predecessor, King Abdullah, who viewed Erdogan as a rival and Turkey as a country whose influence and power in the Arab Middle East needed to be reined in, Salman apparently has other ideas. Several Saudi commentators who wrote about the two state visits welcomed Erdogan’s trip to the country and noted that Egypt will not dictate Saudi foreign policy or whether Saudi Arabia advances ties with Turkey or not. Saudia Arabia under King Salman is hinting, and not so subtly, that it was King Abdullah’s foreign policy that led to the spread of Iranian influence in the region; that Iran, more than Saudi Arabia, is considered an active combatant against the Islamic State, the organization also known as ISIS and ISIL; and that Saudi mishandling of the situation in Yemen brought about the seizure of power in Yemen by the Houthis, who are supported by Iran. Commentators suggest that Saudi Arabia is seeking to establish an anti-Shi’ite and anti-Iranian axis in which Turkey would play a central role. Such an alliance, however, could not exclude Egypt, which is acting in concert with the Saudis and the leaders of the Gulf states to establish a rapid-deployment joint Arab force that would be comprised of 40,000 soldiers.

Headline: Over 50 killed in suicide blasts at northern Nigerian bus station, markets

Headline: Boko Haram conflict: Nigerian allies launch offensive

More than 50 people were killed and scores wounded in a series of suicide bombings in northern Nigeria on Saturday, witnesses and authorities told CNN. The blasts occurred in Maiduguri, the capital of the tumultuous Borno state, at the city’s main market, a fish market and a bus station. Four suicide bombers — three women and a man — carried out the attacks, according to witnesses. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bloodshed. But the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram has been behind many similar attacks in northern Nigeria and beyond, killing hundreds in recent months as part of its terrorist campaign to bring its twisted version of Sharia law to the region. Clement Adoda, a Borno state police spokesman, said at least 54 people were killed and another 139 wounded in the suicide attacks. Suleiman Bulunkutu said he and others involved in the rescue operation had taken about 50 bodies to the Maiduguri General Hospital morgue. “This toll doesn’t include those taken to three other hospitals,” Bulunkutu said. “Therefore, the‎ final (death) toll may be higher.” In the first blast, a woman dressed in a hijab got off a motorized rickshaw and blew herself up outside the Baga Road fish market around 11:20 a.m. (5:20 a.m. ET), fish trader Mohammed Boni said. The next attack took place about an hour later outside Monday Market, the main one in the city, where people were lined up to go through security. Those measures — in which people are checked for explosives and guns — were set up because of the spate of Boko Haram attacks in the city and region. Two women joined the female security line, one of whom “blew herself up, causing minimal casualty,” said witness Abdulkarim Musa. Then, as people gathered to help, the second woman detonated her explosives, said Musa, who was waiting outside the market in the male security line. The third attack occurred at a bus station.

A peacekeeper died when about 30 rockets struck the base in the desert town of Kidal, said the UN mission. Some rockets missed their target, killing two civilians. It is not clear who carried out the attack. Islamist militants are active in the area. Meanwhile an al-Qaeda-linked group said it carried out an attack in the capital which killed five people on Saturday. Al-Murabitoun, an Islamist group led by Algerian militant Mokhtar Belmokhtar, said the attack on a bar in Bamako was a “revenge operation” against the “infidel West”. On Sunday Minusma said the rocket attack on its base in Kidal occurred at about 06:00 GMT. Peacekeepers returned fire. At least one shell fell on a nearby camp for Tuareg and Arab nomads, killing two people and injuring several children, a witness said. Al-Qaeda-linked Islamist militants and Tuareg rebels have been fighting the army in northern Mali for a number of years. France, the former colonial power in Mali, intervened two years ago to stop their advance south of Bamako.

At least two militants and two soldiers died in an al Qaeda assault on an army base in southern Yemen early on Monday, officials and residents said, in another sign of unraveling security. The assault on the base in Mahfad in Abyan province was a setback for the country’s splintered military which, alongside local militiamen, had largely expelled Al Qaeda from the area’s towns in 2013. Local sources told Reuters the battle was ongoing and army reinforcements backed by dozens of the armed “popular committees” had come to the soldiers’ aid. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), one of the most active arms of the global militant group, has grown more powerful since “Arab Spring” uprisings rocked Yemen in 2011 and led to splits in its military.

Speaking to ARA News, the Syrian journalist Mazen Jerdi said that social media networking sites recently published pictures of Khamenei, the Islamic Republic guide, in the streets of the Yemeni cities, as well as pictures of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad which were raised by Houthi protesters there. “It’s no more secret that strong relations link the Houthis with both Iran and the Assad regime, and such mutual relations will definitely include military exercises under the direct supervision of Iranian authorities,” Jerdi argued, pointing out that the Houthis will thus lead Yemen and will threaten the southern region of Saudi Arabia as part of the strategic policy of Iran.

The ECB’s scheme, known as quantitative easing or QE, is not new, and has already been used by the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England to stimulate their economies. But QE has been a long time coming on mainland Europe and is regarded as the ultimate weapon in the ECB’s vast anti-deflation armoury, the culmination of a long series of unprecedented measures to bring the eurozone’s flat-lining economic recovery back to life. The main European indices closed mostly down on Monday — with investors risk averse in the face of more immediate concerns about Greece — and the euro fell to its lowest level against the dollar in more than 11 years, while bond yields also fell. The ECB hopes that by buying bonds off investors they will invest the money elsewhere, thus boosting growth and preventing a dangerous cycle of falling prices from setting in.

Headline:   Venezuela to install finger scanners in supermarkets to tackle hoarding, panic buying amid shortages

Venezuela will begin installing some 20,000 fingerprint scanners at supermarkets nationwide in a bid to stamp out hoarding and panic buying, which the government blames for long lines and widespread shortages of basic goods. The oil-rich nation has been selectively rolling out the rationing system for months at state-run supermarkets along the western border with Colombia, where smuggling of price-controlled goods is a major problem. On Saturday, President Nicolas Maduro said that seven large private retail chains had voluntarily agreed to install the scanners. “I ask for the the comprehension of all of Venezuela, to understand this problem, because there is a lot of manipulation taking place,” Maduro said at the inauguration of a state-run supermarket. Economists say the effort is bound to fail. They blame decade-old price controls for destroying local manufacturing and attracting smugglers who can resell the goods on the black market and in Colombia for huge gains. In recent days, those profits have become juicier as a result of Venezuela’s tanking currency. The bolivar has slid 35 percent in the past two weeks on the black market and now trades at nearly one-fortieth the official rate used to import food, according to DolarToday, a website that tracks the illegal rate based on currency trades along the border.

Headline:   NY’s homeless population hits record high as poverty explodes in America

The homeless population in the nation’s largest city has exploded to an all-time high, forcing officials to provide shelter to desperate families in dilapidated tenements that have been identified by housing authorities as dangerous. New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio arrived at City Hall following his election on promises to turn the desperation around, but in reality, reports the Daily News, he has had difficulty addressing an age-old problem that has only gotten worse during the Obama years. The paper, on its website, reported that, by mid-December, NYC’s homeless population had swollen to a record 59,068, or larger than the populations of scores of mid-sized cities around the country. One organization, the Coalition for the Homeless, told the paper that its homeless count was higher, at 60,352. As the Daily News further reported: The homeless count, according to the city and the coalition, includes 25,000 children. And it represents a 10% jump from the 53,615 in shelters on de Blasio’s Inauguration Day. To reduce these distressing numbers, the city has tried to move families into scarce permanent housing, but has been forced to continue using much-criticized apartments known as “cluster sites.”

Headline: Juncker calls for EU army

The European Union needs its own army to help address the problem that it is not “taken entirely seriously” as an international force, the president of the European commission has said. Jean-Claude Juncker said such a move would help the EU to persuade Russia that it was serious about defending its values in the face of the threat posed by Moscow. However, his proposal was immediately rejected by the British government, which said that there was “no prospect” of the UK agreeing to the creation of an EU army. “You would not create a European army to use it immediately,” Juncker told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper in Germany in an interview published on Sunday. “But a common army among the Europeans would convey to Russia that we are serious about defending the values of the European Union.” Juncker, who has been a longstanding advocate of an EU army, said getting member states to combine militarily would make spending more efficient and would encourage further European integration.

Headline: U.S. declares Venezuela a threat, sanctions top officials

The United States on Monday declared Venezuela a national security threat and ordered sanctions against seven officials in the worst diplomatic dispute with the oil-rich country since socialist President Nicolas Maduro took office in 2013. President Barack Obama issued and signed the executive order, which senior administration officials said did not target the energy sector or Venezuela’s broader economy. The move raises tensions between Washington and the OPEC member just as U.S. relations with Cuba, another longtime U.S. foe in Latin America, are set to be normalized. Declaring a country a national security threat is the first step in starting a sanctions regime. The same process has been followed with countries such as Iran and Syria, U.S. officials said. The White House said the executive order targeted people whose actions undermined democratic processes or institutions, had committed acts of violence or abuse of human rights, were involved in prohibiting or penalizing freedom of expression, or were government officials involved in public corruption. “Venezuelan officials past and present who violate the human rights of Venezuelan citizens and engage in acts of public corruption will not be welcome here, and we now have the tools to block their assets and their use of U.S. financial systems,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in a statement. “We are deeply concerned by the Venezuelan government’s efforts to escalate intimidation of its political opponents. Venezuela’s problems cannot be solved by criminalizing dissent,” he added.

Pakistan has successfully test-fired a new indigenously-developed nuclear-capable ballistic missile with a range of 2,750 kilometers (1,708 miles). According to a statement released by the Pakistani Army’s Directorate of Inter-Services Public Relations, the Monday test launch of solid-fueled surface-to-surface Shaheen-III (Falcon-III) missile, with its impact point in the Arabian Sea, was “aimed at validating various design and technical parameters of the weapon system at maximum range.” Director General for Pakistan’s Strategic Plan Division Lieutenant General Zubair Mahmood Hayat hailed the missile launch as a major step toward upgrading the country’s deterrence capability. The test-fire comes less than a week after the first high-level talks between Islamabad and its arch-rival, New Delhi, in nearly a year. On January 31, India test-fired its longest-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile with the capacity to strike China and Europe.

Islamic State militants strategically targeted Assyrian Christian villages in northeastern Syria in a series of brutal attacks on Saturday, causing clashes with Kurdish militia in the area. Most of the fighting occurred on the northern banks of the river as ISIS attempted to capture Tal Talmr, a crossroad 35 km from the city of Hassakeh. By capturing the crossroad, ISIS would have a direct corridor to the eastern border of Iraq. The ISIS offensive in the town of Tal Tamr has advanced to numerous surrounding areas. Since they began the offensive in the region, they have gained control of over 10 villages near Tal Tamr. The city is 40 km south of the Turkish border and currently lies under Kurdish control. The attacks come just weeks after the Islamic State kidnapped 220 Assyrian Christians from nearby towns. In the time since the kidnappings, ISIS has released 23 Assyrian Christians.

Sweden has recognized the occupied state of Palestine officially, according to its foreign ministry. The Scandinavian has become the first West-European EU state to recognize the territories. Israel has recalled its ambassador in Sweden. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has already welcomed the “historic” move by Sweden. “President Abbas welcomes Sweden’s decision,” Nabil Abu Rudeina, the leader’s spokesman told AFP. The reaction from Israel followed soon after: “The decision of the Swedish government to recognize a Palestinian state is a deplorable decision which only strengthens extremist elements and Palestinian rejectionizm,” the Jewish state’s Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said. Later in the day, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said the country is recalling its ambassador in Sweden for consultations in protest of the move. Lieberman even considers permanently removing the ambassador, Isaac Bachman, from his position, reported Haaretz. This move would officially downgrade Israel’s relations with Sweden.

Headline:     IDF Comes Under Fire Along Syrian Border

IDF forces conducting a routine patrol along the Syrian border on the Golan Heights came under fire from Syria on Thursday afternoon. The force reported that it had been targeted by gunfire, and proceeded to conduct a search for the sources of the attack. No wounds or damage was reported as having been caused by the attack. Syrian rebels, including Al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front forces, reportedly took control of the Syrian Golan Heights in early September through fierce fighting with Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces, and in the process seized the weapons and equipment of UN forces in the area. The region has remained tense, with the fighting often spilling over – accidentally or intentionally – in the form of shells frequently streaking into Israeli territory. The gunfire from Syria comes after a different border was recently hit by an attack; just last Wednesday drug smugglers on the Sinai border opened fire with anti-tank missiles on IDF patrols in the Negev, wounding two female soldiers.

An eastern Jerusalem church has come under siege from local Arab residents as a property dispute has devolved into repeated bouts of harassment, theft, and physical violence against church employees and property. “When we said we would not sell [the church], they decided to take it by force,” Pastor Karen Dunham of the Living Bread International Church told The Jerusalem Post. Located near the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem’s Old City, Living Bread is a non-denominational church with offices in Israel, Gaza, and Jericho that seeks to reach out with “humanitarian aid to the poor and the refugees with aid and education,” its website says. According to Dunham, the church has been attacked by men with knifes, clubs, pepper spray, and gas by local Arab men. The men have destroyed the church’s security cameras and a metal security fence, in addition to threatening to “cut the heads off” two orphans with disabilities. Dunham has appealed to local police for protection and the arrest of suspects behind the threats and attacks. “The last couple of weeks is when most of the violence has happened, and now they are not allowing our staff to walk in the street to get to and from work,” she said.

Israel decided Wednesday night to prohibit access to the Temple Mount Thursday to both Muslim and Jewish worshipers and visitors until further notice, following the shooting in Jerusalem of Rabbi Yehudah Glick, a right-wing activist with the Temple Mount Faithful. Jerusalem District Police Commander Moshe Edri together with Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch assessed intelligence reports on the ground, according to a police spokesman, and issued a directive barring Muslims and Jews from accessing the holy site. Right-wing activists, including some members of Knesset, had called to march on the Temple Mount en masse Thursday morning in response to the suspected attempted assassination which left Glick in serious, but stable, condition. Glick was shot three times outside the Jerusalem’s Begin Center following a conference about the Jewish presence on the Temple Mount. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has issued a public response to the attempt on Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick’s life Thursday, calling out the international community and the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the process for “hypocrisy” regarding incitement. “A few days ago, I said that we were facing a wave of incitement by radical Islamic elements and by Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas – ed.] who said that Jews must be prevented from going up to the Temple Mount by any means possible,” he continued. “I still have not heard from the international community so much as one word of condemnation for these inflammatory remarks. The international community needs to stop its hypocrisy and take action against inciters, against those who try to change the status quo.” Abbas stated, minutes before Netanyahu spoke, that closing the Temple Mount Thursday following the attack was a “declaration of war.”

Fatah, the political party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, called for a “day of rage” Friday in the defense of the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, after Israel closed the site Thursday amid continuing East Jerusalem riots and after the attempted assassination of a right-wing activist. The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported the call to action on Thursday. “Fatah calls to its fighters and to the masses of the Palestinian people to aid the Al-Aqsa Mosque and occupied Jerusalem,” Fatah said in an announcement that was translated into English by Israel-based Palestinian Media Watch. Israel has since announced it would reopen the site for Friday prayers. WAFA also reported that the Fatah Mobilization and Organization Commission had “called to set tomorrow as a day of rage throughout the homeland and in countries which are home to refugees, to express the Palestinian people’s opposition to any attack on the holy places and foremost among them the Al-Aqsa Mosque… And to consider desecration of Al-Aqsa as a declaration of a religious war against the Palestinian people and the Arab Islamic nations.”

***Let’s recap. A Palestinian attempts to gun down a Jewish nationalist, thereby committing an act of attempted murder, an act of terrorism, and a hate crime. Israeli authorities track the guy down.

Headline: Jordan Accuses Israel of ‘State Terrorism’ over Temple Mount Ban

Jordan on Thursday accused Israel of “state terrorism” after it closed Jerusalem’s Temple Mount to Muslim and Jewish visitors alike, following the attempted assassination of a prominent Jewish rights activist. Israel said its closure of the site – the holiest in Judaism and also home to the Al Aqsa mosque compound – was temporary and aimed at calming tempers as tensions continue to simmer after the prime suspect in the shooting of Rabbi Yehuda Glick died in a shootout with police. Jordan’s Islamic affairs minister, Hayel Daoud, denounced the Jewish state for “closing the gates of Al-Aqsa mosque and preventing the faithful from entering”, state news agency Petra reported. He urged the international community to help Jordan put pressure on Israel “to raise the terrorist blockade” imposed on the compound. “This is a dangerous escalation by the authorities of the occupation and state terrorism that we can neither accept nor keep silent about,” Daoud said. Despite it being the holiest site in Judaism, Jews are forbidden to pray on the Temple Mount in what activists – including Glick – have roundly condemned as capitulation by the Israeli government to Islamist threats.

Lebanese political parties from across the spectrum have slammed Israel’s decision to close down the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem Thursday in response to the overnight shooting of an ultra-nationalist Jewish activist. The Israeli government, however, announced later Thursday that the mosque had been reopened. Hezbollah saluted the “heroic operation against Zionist extremism,” a statement by the party said, lauding Palestinians who seek to defend Al-Aqsa Mosque and offer “sacrifices for this sacred symbol in the history of Islam and the history of humanity.” Hezbollah denounced “the flagrant assault that led to the death of the freed captive Moataz Hejazi and the arrest of his relatives,” the statement added. It also called on Arabs and Muslims to stand with Palestinians and their “heroic resistance.”

The plan to clear 10,000 residents from some 800 houses over just several days has angered the area’s already disgruntled population, which has long held grievances with Cairo. “To throw 10,000 people into the street in a second, this is the biggest threat to national security,” said Ayman Mohsen, whose sister left her house located 350 meters from the border. Speaking to The Associated Press via online messages, he said the army told residents to leave on Tuesday within 48 hours, and that houses would be blown up even if people remain inside. The move to set up the planned 13-kilometer (8-mile) buffer zone, which will be 500 meters (yards) wide, comes after militants attacked an army checkpoint near Sheikh Zuweyid town last week, killing 31 soldiers. No group claimed responsibility. After the attack, Egypt declared a three-month state of emergency and dawn-to-dusk curfew there and indefinitely closed the Gaza crossing, the only non-Israeli passage for the crowded strip with the world. In an attempt to assuage residents’ frustration, President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi ordered local authorities to quickly give compensation to residents who left their homes. “Egypt will never forget its honorable people of Sinai, their well-documented patriotic stances and their sacrifices to the nation,” he said through spokesman Alaa Youssef.

At least 37 people, including children, were injured in a car bomb attack on a government-controlled neighborhood in the central Syrian city of Homs on Wednesday, state television reported. “Terrorists detonated a car bomb in the center of Al-Zahraa neighborhood, causing deaths and injuries,” it said. It later said at least 37 people had been hurt, including children who were “in serious condition,” adding that the blast had caused major damage. The bombing is the latest in a series of attacks targeting government-controlled areas of Homs city.
Meanwhile, Islamic State group men attacked an oil and gas field in Syria, killing at least 30 pro-regime gunmen and security guards, a monitoring group said Wednesday. “IS managed to control parts of the field,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said after Tuesday’s assault at Shaer, in Homs province. An unknown number of militants were also killed, Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.

Syria Headline: Syria rebel commander: Send fighters to Aleppo, not Kobani

Syria Headline: The violent clashes are still erupting in differnet areas in Aleppo

Syria Headline: Is Syrian army heading for victory in Aleppo?

Sending additional Syrian rebel forces to Kobani is a mistake, a senior rebel commander said Thursday, warning that the fighters are needed to stave off President Bashar Assad’s forces who are poised to encircle Aleppo, a key city. Nizar al-Khateeb, a commander of the Dawn of Freedom brigade, fought in Kobani until last week and is set to return to the northern Syrian town this weekend. “It was wrong to send more fighters to Kobane, because we need more forces in Aleppo where the situation is very critical,” al-Khateeb, who is allied to the Free Syrian Army movement, told a press conference in Istanbul. “The regime is trying to close the circle around Aleppo. We need all the fighters we can get there,” he added.

Syria Headline: Syrian air strikes kill over 200 civilians in 10 days – monitor

Bombing runs by the Syrian air force over the past 10 days have killed at least 221 civilians, a third of them children, a group monitoring Syria’s civil war said on Thursday. The intensifying offensive by President Bashar al-Assad’s forces has heightened concerns among his opponents that he may be taking advantage of U.S.-led air raids on Islamic State insurgents to regain territory elsewhere in the country. Since Oct. 20 the Syrian military has staged at least 769 attacks including barrel bombings in many areas of Syria, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, and more than 500 people have been wounded. It said the strikes targeted the eastern province of Deir al-Zor, Homs in central Syria as well as contested provinces in the more populated west such as Latakia, Quneitra, Hama, Aleppo, Idlib and Deraa, as well as the fringes of Damascus. “The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights renews its condemnation at the continued silence of the international community regarding the massacres committed daily by the regime of Bashar al-Assad against the sons of the Syrian people.”

Iraq Headline:  IS fighters execute up to 220 Iraqis in retaliation for opposition

Islamic State group militants lined up 30 men in western Iraq and shot them dead Wednesday, an official and residents said, the latest mass killing carried out by the group since its advance across the country. The slayings, on a main street in the Al-Bakir district in the town of Hit, targeted Sunnis tribal fighters allied with the government and members of the security forces that the extremists captured when they overran the town, the official and the residents said. The militants first paraded the men through town, shouting through loudspeakers that the captured men were apostates who fought against them, residents said. The extremists then lined up the men and shot them dead with assault rifles, residents said. Meanwhile, Two mass graves were discovered today containing some of the 300 members of the Sunni Muslim Albu Nimr tribe that Islamic State had seized this week. The captives, men aged between 18 and 55, had been shot at close range, said witnesses.

Iraq Headline:  Iraqi Security Forces Withdraw to Defensive Positions in Anbar Province

Iraqi Army units in Anbar province have adopted a largely defensive posture in October 2014, retreating to their bases and leaving the defense of most urban areas in the hands of local Iraqi Police and Sunni tribal forces. The recent success of ISIS offensives in western Anbar will place the ISF in an inferior position for launching future counter-offensives. Many of the ISF units in Anbar are now understrength, suffer poor morale, and lack decisive leadership – leaving them vulnerable to ISIS attempts to isolate, encircle, and destroy the remaining Iraqi Army presence in the province. If the Iraqi Army cannot reinforce its positions and regain the offensive, the ISF may find itself hard-pressed to curb ISIS momentum in Anbar province and the western Baghdad Belts.

Kurdish Headline: Syria condemns Turkey for allowing foreign fighters to enter

The first group of Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government forces, known as Peshmerga, has reportedly entered Syria’s northern city of Kobani to join the fight against the ISIL militants. According to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, ten Peshmerga fighters entered the besieged town on Thursday through the border crossing with Turkey to help the Kurds there fight against the ISIL. “Minutes ago, about 10 members of the Kurdish Peshmerga forces entered the town of Ayn al-Arab (the Arabic name for Kobani), through the border crossing between the town and Turkish territory,” the UK-based group said. This was the first from among a group of 150 Kurdish fighters who are to be deployed to the embattled city. Reports say the rest will only gradually join their comrades because the border crossing has been targeted by the Takfiri group.

Kirkuk

Kurdish Headline: Shia militiamen arrest Peshmerga near Kirkuk

A Shia militia fired on Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga forces and arrested a number of soldiers, local officials said on Thursday. The confrontation occurred near Tuz Khurmatu, southeast of Kirkuk, at a checkpoint separating Peshmerga-held areas from territory held by a local affiliate of the Badr Organization, whose militant wing is one of the most powerful Shia militias in Iraq. The reported incident was described as having taken place in recent days. Kirkuk, which Peshmerga forces secured after the Iraqi army fled an Islamic State offensive in August, is regarded by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Erbil as Kurdish territory. But this is disputed by Baghdad and by leaders of the Shia and Sunni communities. Two Peshmerga were injured in the attack, which the officials claim was instigated by the Shia militia. “I barely survived the attack, and then they wanted to arrest me even though I was injured,” Shakhawan Kareem told Rudaw. The group arrested ten Peshmerga in the wake of the stand-off, but later released seven. Local officials said the Shia threatened they would send the three remaining Peshmerga to Baghdad for trail, although the Kurdish officers present said that had not happened yet. “This problem was caused by a misunderstanding,” Shalal Abdul, the mayor of Tuz Khurmatu told Rudaw. He has convened an emergency committee to try to resolve the issue. The Badr Brigades and Peshmerga forces have cooperated on a number of offensives—most successfully the battle of Amerli at the end of August—but they have also clashed on several occasions, especially in the area south of disputed Kirkuk. A local, wishing to remain anonymous for fear of his safety, indicated that many of the area’s Sunni residents fled the area after repeated harassment from the Shia militia.

Headline: GOP lawmakers urge administration to suspend Gitmo transfers over ISIS concerns

Republican lawmakers called Thursday for the Obama administration to suspend detainee transfers from Guantanamo Bay following a Fox News report that as many as 20 to 30 former prisoners are suspected by intelligence and Defense officials of having joined forces with the Islamic State and other militant groups inside Syria. Some of those former Guantanamo detainees were released within the last three years. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., said in a statement the development “underscores the risks we face when Guantanamo detainees are released based on a misguided desire to close Guantanamo — rather than the national security interests of the United States.” She urged President Obama to suspend further transfers “at least until a thorough review can be conducted to better understand how many former Guantanamo detainees have joined ISIS and what we can do to prevent such an outcome in the future.”

Headline:  NATO says Russian jets, bombers circle Europe in unusual incidents

Headline:  Turkish fighters intercept Russian jets in Black Sea amid ‘unusual’ air activity

Headline: German jets scrambled to face Russian planes

NATO said Wednesday that it had intercepted a large number of Russian aircraft flying close to European airspace in the past two days, in an “unusual” series of incidents that brought Russian bombers as far afield as Portugal. The aircraft — at least 19 in all — offered reminders of Russian air power at a time of the worst relations between the West and Russia since the Cold War. Russian military aircraft have significantly increased their activity in Europe since the conflict in Ukraine began earlier this year, with NATO scrambling to intercept aircraft more than 100 times in 2014. But a NATO official said the scale of the latest incidents was the most provocative this year. Over the Atlantic Ocean and the North, Black and Baltic seas, Russian bombers, fighter jets and tanker aircraft were detected flying in international airspace, NATO said. There were no incursions into national airspace, a violation of sovereignty that would have significantly amplified the seriousness of the four incidents, three of which took place on Wednesday. “We’re raising it as an unusual level of activity,” said Lt. Col. Jay Janzen, a spokesman for NATO’s military command in Mons, Belgium. “The flights we’ve seen in the last 24 hours, the size of those flights and some of the flight plans are definitely unusual.”

The Ukrainian army says fighting between Kiev troops and pro-Russia forces in the restive east regions of the country has left at least seven soldiers dead in the past 24 hours. “Over the last 24 hours, we have lost seven servicemen, 11 were injured,” the Ukrainian military spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, said on Thursday. The incident came following a relative calm during the weekend, when Ukraine held snap parliamentary elections. The Ukrainian government has accused pro-Russians of attacking Ukraine’s positions over the past three days. The latest fatalities raise Kiev’s military losses to 160 since the September 5 inking of a ceasefire deal with the pro-Russia activists.

Iran wants all Western sanctions to be lifted as part of a deal on its contested nuclear programme by a November deadline, a top official said Wednesday. The announcement came amid intensifying efforts to conclude a definitive pact. The six powers in the talks with Iran — Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States plus Germany, known as the P5+1 — have set November 24 as the deadline. The chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi said the US proposal of a gradual lifting of sanctions was “unacceptable.” “If we want a definitive accord on November 24, there must be an immediate lifting of sanctions,” he told a news conference in Paris.

The clashes have left at least 200 people dead over the past two weeks. Meanwhile, the country’s internationally recognized Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani called on militia groups to take part in reconciliation talks. “We open the doors of dialogue with our brothers on the condition that there be concessions from all sides,” the Libyan premier told reporters on Wednesday. Today’s clashes came shortly after the United Nations special envoy to Libya, Bernardino Leon, expressed serious concern over the deteriorating situation in Benghazi.

Headline:  Killing of fourth Turkish soldier in a week threatens fragile peace with Kurds

Unidentified gunmen have murdered a Turkish soldier in the southeast of the country, the military said on Thursday, in the fourth such killing in less than a week, dealing a further blow to an already shaky peace process between Kurdish militants and the Turkish state. Two masked men shot the officer at close range in the back of the head while he was out shopping with his family on Wednesday afternoon in Diyarbakir, the largest city in Turkey’s predominantly Kurdish southeast, the military said in a statement. The incident comes only days after three Turkish soldiers were gunned down on Saturday in Hakkari province further east, also while out shopping, which the military has since blamed on militants from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Those killings were reportedly in retaliation for the killing of three PKK insurgents a day earlier in eastern Kars province after the militants had launched a raid on a power plant. The military condemned Wednesday’s “brutal” attack but said it had not yet identified the assailants. The recent spate of violence has threatened to derail fragile peace negotiations launched by Ankara two years ago with the PKK’s jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan. Apart from isolated incidents, the country had enjoyed a relative calm since the start of talks, and after Ocalan called a ceasefire to mark the Kurdish New Year in March 2013.

Residents, who fled to neighboring areas, said that militants first overran the northeastern town of Uba in Borno state before moving to try to seize Mubi, using firepower including rocket-propelled grenades. “They (the militants) killed several people, especially around the market, where traders had gone for commercial activities,” said the Kukawa local government chairman Modu Musa. “There is virtually not a single resident left in Mubi. Everybody has left to save their lives,” said local resident Habu Saidu. Boko Haram Takfiri militants also burnt down Mubi police station as well as other command centers and freed prisoners after attacking a prison yard in the town.

Tens of thousands of protesters demanding the ousting of Burkina Faso’s veteran President Blaise Compaore faced off with security forces outside the presidential palace after burning parliament and ransacking state television on Thursday. At least three protesters were shot dead and scores were wounded by security forces, emergency services said, as the vast crowd tried to storm the home of the president’s brother and overran other state buildings. It was not immediately possible to confirm the whereabouts of President Compaore, who seized power in the gold and cotton-producing West African nation in a coup 27 years ago. But there were signs of political maneuvering. The military command announced it would issue a statement later in the day and opposition leaders said they had held talks with retired General Kouame Lougue, a former defense minister, about forming a transitional government. A Reuters witness saw General Lougue march afterwards to the presidential palace with supporters, and soldiers at the scene said he was allowed inside with a handful of aides. Crowds stormed parliament earlier in the day in protest against a vote due on Thursday on a government plan to change the constitution to allow the president to stand for a third term next year. As protests spread, communications minister Alain Edouard Traore said the government had dropped the plan. But opposition leaders and demonstrators said they would not stop until the president left.

Headline: Saudi Arabia finds six new MERS cases as outbreak grows

Saudi Arabia said late on Wednesday it had detected six new cases of the deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 24 hours, the biggest daily jump for months with officials blaming lax hospital procedures. The recent surge in cases, now numbering 32 since the start of October, has been focused in Riyadh and the western city of Taif, but it remains far less extensive than an outbreak in April and May that infected hundreds. MERS causes coughing, fever and sometimes pneumonia, killing around 40 percent of its victims. The vast majority of confirmed cases worldwide have been found in Saudi Arabia, where 786 people have been infected, of whom 334 have died. Two of the new cases announced by the health ministry were in medical personnel, adding to concerns about the standard of infection control procedures in medical facilities. Three different Taif hospitals have been affected. Some of the people infected with MERS in Taif this month were being treated in one renal clinic in a hospital in the city, which authorities regard as being responsible for some of the transmissions, a senior Health Ministry official said.

Headline:  Israel To Help California Combat Worst Drought In History Following Losses Of $2.2 Billion

The Israelis know a thing or two when it comes to managing dry arid lands, and making them flourish, even when the rains don’t fall “in their time.” So when it came to getting some help for the poor farmers of California, who have suffered massive financial losses as a result of the dry weather, California Governor Jerry Brown contacted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the two men signed a strategic cooperation agreement earlier this year as part of which Israel, a world leader in the field of water, would help out the arid state. The droughts have already purportedly cost the state’s economy a whopping $2.2 billion and has left more than 500,000 acres of fields fallow in its wake. Being that California is the source for more than 50 percent of US fruit, vegetables and nuts, and almost 90 percent of America’s strawberries, olives, broccoli, nectarines and garlic, it’s vital that the state finds ways to cope with the rainless situation they are faced with. As part of the Israeli efforts to come to its closest allies’ aid, Prof. Eilon Adar, a world expert in groundwater flow systems, will work to help the state work out solutions to the issue. During a recent visit to San Fransisco and the Silicon Valley, Professor Adar toured numerous salination plants in northern California, and participated in a state-wide conference in which a wide range of technological solutions were presented. Adar said, “If we managed to overcome the water issues in the Middle East, we can do it anywhere in the world. Nonetheless, (to address the issue) they will need to improve the management and efficiency of the water market and increase and optimize the coordination between the water companies.” At the same time, the Israeli consul to California, Andy David, said to reporters, “We are pushing ahead with the water issue and branding Israel as part of the solution, an ally with the knowhow whom can come to help in a time of need.”

Facing a firestorm of protest, the prominent Christian relief agency World Vision on Wednesday reversed a two-day-old policy change that would have allowed it to hire Christians in same-sex marriages in the US. The aid group sent a letter to supporters saying the board had made a mistake and was returning to its policy requiring celibacy outside of marriage “and faithfulness within the Bible covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.”

Those of you who have been coming to my site have listen to me list the last days signs for years.  In my book you can read for FREE I show you all the signs and provides tons of proof we are in the last days.  For years I have been telling people that I see many people who claim to be Christians but by the acts of their life there is a big question mark.  Either you love Jesus and follow Him and what He says to do and what not to do or you call yourself a Christian and do what you want and the end result is you are just like those living in the world.  What did Jesus say about being in the World? Here are a few of scriptures on this issue.

Romans 12:2

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

1 John 2:15-17

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

1 John 2:15

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

James 4:4

You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Colossians 2:8

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

Please understand that I am not casting stones because I to have done things in my past that I know Jesus did not want me to do. I also know that when I did sin against the Lord I felt sick to my stomach and repented and prayed for the Lord’s help not to repeat those mistakes. Over the years the Lord has help me become the image of what Jesus created me to be.  The danger is when people don’t even think what they are doing is wrong when in fact their actions hurt Christ.  This is the thing that breaks my heart because when I fall short I realize it and it makes me draw closer to Christ because I know thourgh Him I will become strong.  I want my life to be as pure as it can be for the Father because I remember what He did for me on that CROSS and that kind of love is something I hold dear in my heart.  May I ask you to click the link below to view a video concerning the world you see around you.  Before you watch this video ask yourself this question. Am I a Christian or not or are you as one of the people in the video who say they are born again but live a life full of sin and it is just brushed off?  The time is drawing to a close. We are coming to the final last days signs soon and you need to be ready.  Now is the time to get right with Christ!  As for me and my house hold I desire to walk with Christ and it is my prayer that I may have a part in your life to maybe put you back on the road in abiding in Jesus Christ and living out the rest of your days outside the world and inside of Christ’s.

Headline:  Israeli defense minister closes debate on US security plan

While news came this week that Russia was suspended from the G-8 and tensions continue to rise between America and Russia, the U.S. State Department continues to expect an apology from Israel’s defense minister. Last week, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said, “It isn’t a favor America is doing; it’s in their interest. They get quality intelligence and technology.” As Ya’alon rightly noted, Obama’s America has developed an image in the world of “feebleness.” Ya’alon last earned the ire of the State Department a month ago when he said, “The American security plan that was presented to us is not worth the paper it was written on. It contains neither security nor peace. Only our continued presence in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan River will guarantee that Ben Gurion Airport and [the northern city of] Netanya do not become targets for missiles from every direction.” He continued by saying that Secretary of State John Kerry “operates based upon an unfathomable obsession and a messianic feeling.” And while Israel’s most senior and most popular cabinet member speaks the truth, American State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki says, “We still have remaining concerns about Ya’alon’s pattern of behavior,” adding, “I think we clearly expressed our displeasure by his offensive comments, and an apology would be a natural next step.”

Headline:  US Limiting Visas for IDF Officers

The US has been limiting the issuing of visas to IDF officers, people who work for Mossad or the Israel Security Agency (ISA or Shin Bet), and Israelis connected to other security-related bodies that are connected with the Israeli presence in the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria, writes Globes. According to pro-Israeli sources on Capitol Hill, the limitations are part of an effort to make sure that visas are not granted to people who violate human rights in Judea and Samaria. State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Friday that Israel will not be included in the list of countries whose citizens can enter the US without a visa, because of the way the Jewish state treats Palestinian Americans at its border crossings. “The Department of Homeland Security and State remain concerned with the unequal treatment that Palestinian Americans and other Americans of Middle Eastern origin experience at Israel’s border and checkpoints, and reciprocity is the most basic condition of the Visa Waiver Program,” Psaki said in her daily briefing with reporters.

US Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Jordan Wednesday in a fresh bid to keep his Middle East peace bid on track, amid fears Israel may renege on a promise to free Palestinian prisoners and just after Arab leaders said they would never recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Kerry, interrupting a visit to Rome, was due to meet first with Jordan’s King Abdullah II before holding talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas over dinner in a bid to “continue to narrow the gaps” between the two sides, his spokeswoman said. Under the terms of a July deal for the relaunch of the talks, Israel said it would release 104 Arabs held since before the 1993 Oslo peace accords in exchange for the Palestinians not pressing their statehood claims via the UN.

Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas launched a tirade against Israel on Tuesday, accusing the Jewish state of being responsible for the peace talks not progressing. Speaking at the Arab League summit in Kuwait, Abbas also accused the Israeli government of trying to get out of releasing the fourth batch of terrorists that it agreed to release as a “gesture” to Abbas. “The Israeli government is trying to dodge an agreement it had with the U.S. administration to release pre-Oslo Palestinian prisoners,” Abbas said, according to the Ma’an news agency. “The Israeli government took every chance to foil the American efforts. This proves what we say about the lack of seriousness and preparedness of the Israeli government to withdraw and create peace,” he charged. He went out to accuse Israel of trying to split the Temple Mount in such a way that will have Jews and Muslims worshiping separately. “There is coordination with Jordan, which supports the Islamic endowments in Jerusalem, and Morocco which leads the Al-Quds (Jerusalem) committee in order not to let that happen,” declared Abbas.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday in Kuwait, Abbas said he was still waiting to receive a formal framework proposal from US Secretary of State John Kerry. He said there have been no talks on extending negotiations beyond the April deadline, adding that the coming month would be “a very important period.”  Kerry had to interrupt his visit to Europe with President Barack Obama to jet to Amman on Tuesday seeking to rescue his faltering Middle East peace bid, amid fears Israel may scrap plans to free Palestinian prisoners.  According to the Palestinian official, Kerry has asked Abbas to send the PLO’s chief peace negotiator, Saeb Erekat, to Rome for a meeting with the secretary of state, but Abbas refused.

The Palestinian Authority’s Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki has claimed that the upcoming framework agreement with Israel will be “non-binding”, and that the PA was likely to take unilateral steps against Israel following the end of the nine-month negotiating period. Speaking to pan-Arab Asharq al-Awsat at the sidelines of the Arab League conference n Kuwait, Maliki criticized the US-brokered talks, which are set to expire at the end of next month, and reiterated the PA’s opposition to extending the length of the negotiation process. “We are committed, along with the US administration, to the nine-month period which ends on April 29,” he said. “When the nine months end, if there is something that justifies extra time, it will be discussed on the level of the Palestinian leadership and then our Arab brothers will be consulted about the issue before any decision is taken… Any amendment to the negotiation formula requires confirmation from the Arab side.” One crucial condition for extending talks, said Maliki, was a full construction freeze in all Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II said his country will protect Jerusalem and stand up to “Israeli violations,” in a speech to the Arab Summit in Kuwait Tuesday. Abdullah’s speech to the Arab League Summit in Kuwait came as tensions between Israel and Jordan have bubbled up over demands by Knesset lawmakers that Israel impose sovereignty over the Temple Mount. Jordan “will work to help Jerusalem’s Arab population stay on their land, support their steadfastness, strengthen their presence and stand up to address Israeli violations and measures, particularly those targeting Al Aqsa Mosque, by all available means and in coordination with our brothers in the State of Palestine,” Abdullah said, referring to the mosque atop the disputed holy site. A Knesset debate in February on Israeli sovereignty over the Temple Mount set off intense criticism in the Arab world, particularly from Jordan, where Prime Minister Abdullah Nsur warned that Amman might review its peace agreement with Israel.

Lebanon

Headline:  Three killed in fighting in Lebanon’s Tripoli

At least three people were killed in fighting between rival religious sects in Lebanon’s second city on Wednesday, medical and security sources said, as violence from Syria spills over into the small Mediterranean country. The dead in the coastal city of Tripoli included an 11-year-old boy, as well as two men, the sources said. The long-running rivalry between Tripoli’s Sunni Muslims and members of the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi’ite Islam, has been worsened by Syria’s three-year-old conflict. The civil war has become increasingly sectarian as mostly Sunni rebels – who represent the majority in Syria – battle President Bashar Assad, an Alawite. That has in turn exacerbated tensions in Lebanon, which is home to Sunnis, Shi’ites, Christians and a number of smaller sects, and is still recovering from its own 1975-90 civil war. At least 27 people have been killed in fighting in Tripoli over roughly the last two weeks, including one Lebanese soldier.

At least two students have been killed and several others injured in fresh clashes between Egypt’s security forces and student protesters at Cairo University. The killings occurred when security forces fired tear gas and rubber pellets to disperse the crowds denouncing the recent mass death sentences handed to Muslim Brotherhood members. More than a dozen people were wounded in following clashes between supporting and opposing students. The rallies were called at Cairo and Zagazig universities by Brotherhood members. Reports say groups of pro-Morsi students also protested at Zagazig University. The development came after mass sentences were given to over 500 supporters of ousted president, Mohamed Morsi, over the murder of a police officer, among other charges, last August.

Syrian rebels and government forces clashed over another coastal town in Latakia province on Wednesday, as opposition fighters slowly pressed their advance in the heartland of President Bashar Assad’s minority Alawite sect after seizing a border crossing and their first coastal strip since the uprising began three years ago. The fighting in the town of Qastal Maaf is part of an assault that began on Saturday in Latakia province by an array of rebels from conservative and Islamic groups, including the al-Qaida affiliated Nusra Front. Late Tuesday, the rebels moved onto Qastal Maaf after seizing a hilltop area known as Observatory 45. Activists said the Observatory 45 was important because it overlooked the mountains of the Latakia where there are dozens of opposition-held villages.

Moroccan police spraying water cannon stopped 13 unemployed blind university graduates from setting themselves on fire in Rabat on Wednesday in protest against a public sector hiring freeze. The graduates had tied themselves together with ropes around their necks to block a main Rabat street, poured fuel over their clothes and threatened to set themselves on fire, a Reuters journalist at the scene said. Morocco, which brought in the austerity measures in January, faces demands from international lenders to reduce deficits and cut public spending, which has risen as Rabat sought to calm the kind of popular discontent seen in the Arab Spring revolts. Those revolts began in 2011 after street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself ablaze in the Tunisian city of Sidi Bouzid in a protest against police harassment there. Unemployed graduates have long demonstrated for jobs in the Moroccan capital but their movement has gained strength since the start of the austerity program. Rabat police moved in quickly to spray the blind protesters with water cannon to dampen the fuel before chasing them away using batons. Hundreds of chanting protesters demanding jobs in the public sector joined them in support.

The US President, Barack Obama, has issued a warning to Russia’s Vladimir Putin to keep his troops out of Ukraine or face even tougher sanctions, calling Russia a “regional power” which would struggle to compete with America’s global influence. So far, Washington and the European Union (EU) have responded to President Putin’s annexation of Crimea this month with sanctions on dozens of individuals, most of them directly linked to Mr Putin’s actions in Crimea after his ally Viktor Yanukovych was ousted by protesters in Kiev. Those diplomatic moves have so far had little effect in Moscow, and Western leaders have faced criticism that  they are not being tough enough in the face of a more muscular Russia. Mr Obama appeared to meet such criticism by making clear that the US is “the most powerful nation in the world” and one that other countries looked to in order to take the lead on global crises such as the conflict in Syria. Asked at a nuclear-security conference in The Hague whether Russia was now Washington’s top geopolitical foe, he replied: “America’s got a whole lot of challenges.” But Russia, he added, “is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbours, not out of strength but out of weakness. We [the US] have considerable influence on our neighbours. We generally don’t need to invade them in order to have a strong co-operative relationship with them.”

Among the Ukrainian vessels reportedly captured by the Russians are submarine Zaporizhia, management ship Slavutych, landing ship Konstantin Olshansky, landing ship Kirovohrad, minesweeper Chernihiv and minesweeper Cherkasy. The Cherkasy was the last of the ships to have been overtaken following weeks of threats and ultimatums to surrender. It was finally chased down and overtaken by the Russian navy on March 25 after failing to slip past a blockade of two ships intentionally sunk by the Russians to trap it and other vessels in a narrow gulf, keeping them from escaping into the Black Sea.

Headline:  How rumor sparked panic and three-day bank run in Chinese city

The rumor spread quickly. A small rural lender in eastern China had turned down a customer’s request to withdraw 200,000 yuan ($32,200). Bankers and local officials say it never happened, but true or not the rumor was all it took to spark a run on a bank as the story passed quickly from person to person, among depositors, bystanders and even bank employees. Savers feared the bank in Yancheng, a city in Sheyang county, had run out of money and soon hundreds of customers had rushed to its doors demanding the withdrawal of their money despite assurances from regulators and the central bank that their money was safe. The panic in a corner of the coastal Jiangsu province north of Shanghai, while isolated, struck a raw nerve and won national airplay, possibly reflecting public anxiety over China’s financial system after the country’s first domestic bond default this month shattered assumptions the government would always step in to prevent institutions from collapsing. Rumors also find especially fertile ground here after the failure last January of some less-regulated rural credit co-operatives.

Headline: North Korea test-fires ballistic missiles as Barack Obama holds Japan-South Korea summit

North Korea has test-fired two ballistic missiles, as US President Barack Obama hosted a landmark Japan-South Korea summit and pledged “unwavering commitment” to Tokyo and Seoul’s security concerns in the face of Pyongyang’s nuclear threat. South Korea’s defence ministry said both missiles flew 650 kilometres (400 miles) into the Sea of Japan, upping the ante after a series of short-range missile and rocket launches by the North in recent weeks. A ministry spokesman said the missiles were believed to be Rodong variants, which are considered medium-range at their maximum reach of between 1,000 and 1,500 kilometres. UN Security Council resolutions prohibit North Korea from conducting any ballistic missile tests. The United States responded to North Korea’s test firing, saying it represented “a troubling and provocative escalation.”

Headline:  China to have nuclear missiles on subs soon: US admiral

China for the first time will likely have subs equipped with long-range nuclear missiles later this year, part of an increasingly potent submarine fleet, a top US officer said Tuesday, The head of US Pacific Command, Admiral Samuel Locklear, said the latest class of Chinese subs would be armed with a new ballistic missile with an estimated range of 4,000 nautical miles (7,500 kilometers). “This will give China its first credible sea-based nuclear deterrent, probably before the end of 2014,” Locklear told the Senate Armed Services Committee. Locklear was referring to the production of China’s JIN-class nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine and the new JL-2 missile on board the vessel. “China’s advance in submarine capabilities is significant. They possess a large and increasingly capable submarine force,” the admiral said. In October, Chinese state media for the first time showed images of the country’s nuclear-powered submarines, touting it as a “credible second-strike nuclear capability.” Locklear said China’s submarine modernization effort was impressive. “I think they’ll have in the next decade or so a fairly well modernized force of probably 60 to 70 submarines which is a lot of submarines for a regional power,” he said. China now has five nuclear attack submarines, four nuclear ballistic missile submarines, and 53 diesel attack submarines, according to Jess Karotkin of the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Headline:  Venezuela arrests three air force generals ‘plotting coup’

Venezuela has arrested three air force generals accused of plotting a coup in league with opposition politicians during the country’s rumbling civil unrest, the president said on Tuesday. The move follows weeks of violence around anti-government protests that have killed 36 people in the nation’s worst unrest for a decade.  In recent years, Venezuela’s socialist government has routinely accused its rivals of scheming to seize power by force and assassinate its leaders, although it has rarely followed up with concrete proof of such headline-grabbing claims. “Last night we captured three generals … who tried to raise the air force against the legitimate, constitutional government,” President Nicolas Maduro said on state TV during a meeting with South American foreign ministers in Caracas. He did not name the officers, but said the plot was revealed by colleagues of the generals who were “alarmed” when they heard of the conspiracy. The three were now in custody of military courts. “This group has direct links with sectors of the opposition. They were saying that this would be the decisive week … in the belief that Venezuela did not know how to defend itself.”

Anti-regime demonstrations were also held in the villages of A’ali, Samahich, and Diraz, as well as on the island of Sitra, east of the capital Manama. According to reports, Bahraini riot police fired tear gas and stun grenades to disperse protesters in the village of al-Aker. The protesters reportedly expressed solidarity with detainees, condemning the “unjust sentences” against them.

BREAKING NEWS:

Putin asks parliament to use military in Ukraine

Putin’s call came as pro-Russian demonstrations broke out in major cities in eastern and southern Ukraine, where protesters raised Russian flags and beat up supporters of the new Ukrainian government. The rubber-stamp parliament is certain to approve it in a vote expected Saturday. Putin’s motion loosely referred to the “territory of Ukraine” rather than specifically to Crimea, raising the possibility that Moscow could use military force in other Russian-speaking areas in eastern and southern Ukraine where many oppose the new authorities in Kiev. “I’m submitting a request for using the armed forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine pending the normalization of the socio-political situation in that country,” Putin said in a statement released by the Kremlin.

FREE Bible prophecy documentary book download proving our generation will see the return of the Lord. Do you want to know what is going to happen in the future before it actually takes place? The Word of God provides you with specific details about our future and all of these things are coming to pass in this generation. If you aren’t saved yet this is a must read! The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth February 18, 2014 Edition written by Frank DiMora

cold warDo you remember the ‘Cold War’?  I do and most likely many of you do also.  We cheered the Berlin Wall coming down in 1990 and heaved a sigh of relief in 1991 with the formal dissolution of the USSR.  Back then, no one thought Russia would ever again be the power it is today.  But those of us watching and reading Bible prophecy understood something…it wasn’t over.  Not by a long shot.  God had already made it very clear in 571 BC that Russia- or Magog- would again in these last days be a power that would lead an attack on Israel.

Read Ezekiel 38 & 39. Gog is the leader of the Russian invasion of Israel.

Magog, Meshech, and Tubal comprise modern day Russia. Ezekiel

And while these events do not show the beginning of the Ezekiel war, they DO show us that God’s Word will come to pass- without doubt!  Russia is moving into place to become the ‘power’ that could lead such an attack on Israel.  They are also fulfilling Matthew 24:6 “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”  and Luke 21:9 and Matthew 24:7 which speak of nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom in the end times.

Luke 21:9:  wars & commotions; the Greek word here is Akatastasia, meaning instability, a state of disorder, disturbance, confusion (revolutions)   Matthew 24:7: the Greek word for nation is Ethnos & refers to various ethnic groups fighting among themselves, where the next sentence in the verse refers to kingdoms (basileiva) fighting one another (not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or authority to rule over a kingdom)

 

Earlier today I posted breaking news about Russia ‘invading’ Crimea.  map russia Before I get to further reports, I want to give you a quick re-cap of the situation for those who may not be familiar with the situation.

In November 2013, Yanukovych’s government announces it is abandoning an agreement that would strengthen ties with the European Union and instead seeks closer cooperation with Moscow.  Protesters took the streets and have been there ever since.  In January 2014, two protestors die after being hit with live fire, which during his live news conference today, Yanukovych denied ordering police to shoot at protesters. Six days later, the prime minister resigns and parliament repeals the new harsh anti-protest laws that set off the violence of a week earlier. Finally, on February 21st, under a European-mediated plan, protest leaders and Yanukovych agree to form a new government and hold an early election. Parliament slashes his powers and votes to free his rival, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, from prison. Yanukovych flees Kiev after protesters take control of the capital.

Today, on the ground reports indicated Russian troops have taken up positions around a coast guard base and two airports on its strategic Crimea peninsula. Armed men have extended their control at a military airport in Ukraine’s Crimea region on Friday by taking over the runway, Interfax news agency quoted a military source as saying. “Around 400 people are in the airport of Belbek now. They have occupied runway and all plane movements have been stopped,” the news agency quoted the source as saying. At the same time, AP journalists in Crimea have spotted a convoy of nine Russian armored personnel carriers and a truck on a road between the port city of Sevastopol and the regional capital, Sinferopol. Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service also said about 30 Russian marines from Russia’s Black Sea Fleet — which is based in Sevastopol — had taken up position outside the Ukrainian Coast Guard base in the area. Crimea2-27 2

Although Russian denial of involvement in the military airport action came immediately, swift confirmation followed that they had indeed moved into Crimea.  A serviceman at the scene confirmed to Reuters he was from Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, part of which is based in Sevastopol, and said they were there to stop the kind of protests that ousted Yanukovich in Kiev and to “protect Black Sea Fleet’s positions” but which the Ukrainian government has denounced as an “armed intervention.”

Headline:  Russia admits that it has moved troops in Ukraine

The Russian foreign ministry said Friday that it had informed the Ukrainian government that armoured units from the Black Sea Fleet base near Sevastopol had entered Crimea in order to protect fleet positions.“The Ukrainian side was also passed a note regarding the movement of armoured vehicles of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, which is happening in full accordance with the foundation Russian-Ukrainian agreement on the Black Sea Fleet,” the ministry said in a statement posted on its website on Friday afternoon. In the same note the Russian foreign ministry said it had declined a Ukrainian request for “bilateral consultations” on events in Crimea because they are “the result of recent internal political processes in Ukraine.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10668357/Russia-admits-that-it-has-moved-troops-in-Ukraine.html

Ukraine Protests

It has also been confirmed that Russia is negotiating with eight governments around the world for access to military facilities, to enable it to extend its long-range naval and strategic bomber capabilities. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Wednesday the military was engaged in talks with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Algeria, Cyprus, the Seychelles, Vietnam and Singapore.  It would certainly explain why we saw a Russian spy ship dock in Havana yesterday!

Meanwhile,  ousted Ukrainian president Yanukovych gave a press conference from Russia. The fugitive leader said he was forced to leave Ukraine due to threats.  Defending his disappearance from public view in recent days, Yanukovych said he “did not flee anywhere” but left for Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine and intends to return when he is assured international safety. “I will return to Ukraine as soon as the safety of myself and my family can be guaranteed,” Yanukovych said.   He blamed the country’s crisis on “irresponsible Western policy,”and said he trusted the “decency of Western mediators” when he signed a peace deal last week brokered by members of the European Union. But recent actions by the opposition run counter to the agreement, he said.  Yanukovych said he does not plan to ask Russia for military support in dealing with the crisis in Ukraine, where he said power was stolen by `a bunch of radicals.”  Although he has spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone, the two have not met but agreed to sit down soon, Yanukovych said. It was also just announced that the Ukraine has put a ‘crisis limit’ on cash withdrawls to 1,000 Euros per day – approximately $1,380 US.

Syria_240-animated-flag-gifsWe know Russia is deeply involved in Syria, but what I’d like to talk about today is a news article I posted yesterday:

Headline:  Syrian Christians sign treaty of submission to Islamists

Christian leaders in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, captured by an organization formerly affiliated with al-Qaeda, have signed a submission document this week banning them from practicing Christianity in public in return for protection by their Islamist rulers. The document, dated Sunday and disseminated through Islamist Twitter accounts, states that the Christian community in the province of Raqqa, captured last March by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), was recently given three options: to convert to Islam; to remain Christian but pledge submission to Islam; or to “face the sword.” They opted for the second of those choices, known as dhimmitude. Earlier this month, al-Qaeda’s central command distanced itself from ISIS, saying it was “not a branch of al-Qaeda.” The authenticity of the document, displaying the stamp of al-Qaeda, could not be independently verified. The signatures of 20 Christian leaders at the bottom of the document said to have been party to the agreement were blotted out, ostensibly at their own request. According to classic Islamic law, Christians and Jews living under Muslim sovereignty must pay a tax known as jizya in return for the Muslim ruler’s protection, known as dhimma.
Feb 27, 2014
http://www.timesofisrael.com/syrian-christians-sign-treaty-of-submission-to-islamists/

While this is persecution  as seen in Matthew 24:9 (“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for  My name’s sake.”), it is also a form of apostasy. 

Please don’t mis-understand me- we should ALWAYS be praying for our brothers and sisters in the Lord as they are part of our Christian family. But as the Lord told us in Matthew 7:16 “Ye shall know them by their fruits”.  The word FRUIT here is from the Greek karpos, meaning the fruit of the trees or a work, act or DEED.  And their DEED was to submit to an Islamic authority, who by their OWN admission do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
” It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, “Be”, and it is. Verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord: therefore serve Him; this is the Straight Way. [The Holy Qur’an, Surah 19:35-36].

By submitting to this authority, whose beliefs contradict the very ESSENCE of salvation, these our brethren in Syria have committed apostasy.

Cooltextprophecysign

 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God, “That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the Lord.” (Amos 8:11)

“ But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.” (2 Peter 2:1-3)

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.” (1 Timothy  4:1-3)

Let’s take a look at what exactly they’ve agreed to:

The Christian community in the province of Raqqa was recently given three options: to convert to Islam; to remain Christian but pledge submission to Islam; or to “face the sword.” They opted for the second of those choices, known as dhimmitude. Christians agreed to a list of conditions:

to abstain from renovating churches or monasteries in Raqqa

not to display crosses or religious symbols in public or use loudspeakers in prayer

not to read scripture indoors loud enough for Muslims standing outside to hear

not to undertake subversive actions against Muslims

not to carry out any religious ceremonies outside the church

not to prevent any Christian wishing to convert to Islam from doing so

to respect Islam and Muslims and say nothing offensive about them

to pay the jizya tax worth four golden dinars for the rich, two for the average, and one for the poor, twice annually, for each adult Christian

to refrain from drinking alcohol in public and to dress modestly.

Under Ottoman rule, dhimmis (non-Muslim subjects) were allowed to “practice their religion, subject to certain conditions, and to enjoy a measure of communal autonomy” and guaranteed their personal safety and security of property, in return for paying tribute to Muslims and acknowledging Muslim supremacy.  The Qur’an 9:29 states that  Muslims are to “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” According to Sufi saint Ahmad Sirhindi’s opinion (or Fatwa) , a celebrated Muslim thinker and theologian of the Naqshbandi Sufi order, “The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.” (Sufi saint Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624), letter No. 163)

I personally know someone who- 3 1/2 years ago- went to a Syrian Orthodox Church leader and tried to offer help.  This person wanted to know what was being done to get the ‘brethren’ out of Syria BEFORE it came to this point.  This was before the Syrian revolution truly started and they went simply on faith that what God’s Word said is TRUE.  This person was unequivocally, undeniably rejected and told to ‘stay out of it’.  What would have happened if those leaders had listened to this Christian or better yet- listened to the Word of the Lord?  I suppose we’ll never know. 

And as I said, we should never stop praying for our brothers and sisters.  I can only leave you with the words of James 1:12 ” Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him”
