Headline: Did Turkey help Gaza terrorists fire rockets at Israel?
A series of internal Turkish government emails released by the Wikileaks site include what appear to be instructions to Palestinian terrorists on how to conceal their rockets from Israeli airstrikes. In one of the emails, entitled “Our missile tactics in Palestine,” a sender from Turkey – who appears to be named Osman Kastamonulu, but who uses the name of a Turkish singer as his email address – emails “palestine.copenhagen@gmail.com” to advise on how to hide rockets from Israeli jets. The email is dated August 2014, during the war between the IDF and Palestinian terrorists in Gaza, who rained thousands of rockets on Israeli civilian population centers. “Cover missile with carpet 3 times and cover with double glazing(no air between glazing, deaerated) there must be cylindrical and round edges and agonic missile,” the email informs in broken English. “Our target is insulating and sound-absorbing missile and it mustn’t reflect sound and electromagnetic waves back” In other email he writes: “Our missile must be painted with light blue or grey . So, israil radars won’t find missile with electromagnetic waves and especially we must paint our missile’s corners and so, we can do insulator missile and israil radars can’t find it.” Intriguingly, both emails were forwarded to the Turkish President’s office and the head office of the AKP party. Until relatively recently, much of Hamas’s military leadership were in fact based in Turkey, where the Islamist AKP government provided safe refuge and support.

Headline: Rebels claim rocket strike near Syria-Israel border
An air strike said to have been carried out by an Israeli jet hit a Syrian army post near the Syrian side of Golan Heights on Wednesday, two Syrian rebel sources told Reuters. The Israeli army refused to comment on the report. Hezbollah, meanwhile, said that the explosions in the Golan Heights were caused by Nusra Front and not an Israeli strike. Later, Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV said Syrian government troops retaliated, hitting a Nusra Front vehicle from which the rockets were fired. According to Reuters, it was not immediately clear what the exact target of the strike might have been, but rebels operating in the region say the Hezbollah, which fought a month-long war with Israel in 2006, has a presence there. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group reported a large explosion in the provincial capital, Baath City (Madinat al-Baath- New Quneitra). On Sunday, the Israeli military unsuccessfully tried to intercept an unmanned aerial vehicle that breached its airspace. The drone entered 4 kilometers deep into Israeli territory before returning to Syria.

“Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” (Psalm 83)

Headline: Bomb kills four policemen in Yemen’s Aden
A bomb killed four policemen Wednesday in Yemen’s second city Aden, where extremists have repeatedly targeted security forces, a security official said. Another six officers were wounded in the blast in the southern port city where the Saudi-backed government has its base, the official told AFP. Despite a 16-month-old Saudi-led military intervention, the government has struggled to secure the city. On Friday, a suicide bombing claimed by Al-Qaeda hit the convoy of Aden governor Aidarus al-Zubaidi, wounding three people travelling with him. The extremists also claimed two suicide bombings Monday that killed 11 people in two of their former strongholds in the southeast.

Syria Headline: US-led airstrikes on Syria kill dozens of civilians including children
According to a report released by a monitoring group in Syria, at least 56 civilians including 11 children were killed during US-led airstrikes outside a ISIS-occupied Syrian village. “Apart from the already dead civilians, a dozen others were also seriously injured in the airstrikes. Conditions of some are very critical,” this was stated in the report made public by the British based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said, “Residents were fleeing Al-Tukhar village in Aleppo province when the strikes hit. The strikes appeared to have been carried out in error, with the civilians being mistaken for IS fighters”. SOHR, in its report, further informed that the strikes in Al-Tukhar come a day after US-led coalition air strikes killed 21 civilians in and around Manbij, a northern Syrian town. “At least 15 civilians were killed at Hasawneh neighbourhood,” SOHR further informed. It may be mentioned here that Al-Tukhar is 14 km north of Manbij and both are in Aleppo province, which in the recent past has witnessed some of the worst fighting in Syria.

Kurdish Headline: Turkish Airstrikes Hit Kurdish Rebels in Iraq
Turkish state media report at least 20 Kurdish militants were killed in Turkish airstrikes on northern Iraq early Wednesday. Turkey’s F-16 fighter jets targeted members of the outlawed Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) in the mountainous region of Hakurk near Iraq’s border with Turkey, according to Anadolu news agency. A two-year-old cease-fire and peace process between Turkey’s government and the PKK collapsed in July 2015. Turkish warplanes have been carrying out frequent bombing raids on PKK camps in northern Iraq and in Turkey’s mainly Kurdish southeast. The rebels have responded with a string of bloody attacks on security forces. This is Turkey’s first attack on the PKK since the failed coup attempt last week.

Turkey
Headline: How Turkey Could Become the Next Pakistan
The U.S. must recognize the risk a NATO ally may become a safe haven for al Qaeda as Erdogan consolidates power. The failed coup attempt by elements of the Turkish Armed Forces on July 15 will enable President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to establish himself as an authoritarian ruler in Turkey. His priorities in the next few months will be to solidify the loyalty of the Turkish military establishment and complete the constitutional reform necessary to replace Turkey’s parliamentary democracy with an executive presidency, his longstanding goal. A post-coup Erdogan is much less likely to submit to American pressure without major returns. Erdogan immediately demanded the extradition of political rival Fethullah Gulen from the U.S., accusing Gulen of plotting the coup and condemning the U.S. for harboring him. Erdogan will likely deprioritize the fight against ISIS, undermining the counter-ISIS mission in Syria, as he focuses on consolidating power. He may even revoke past concessions to the U.S., including permission to use Turkey’s Incirlik airbase for counter-ISIS operations. Erdogan has more dangerous options now that his rule is secure, however. A partnership with al Qaeda could grant him a powerful proxy force to achieve national security objectives without relying on the Turkish Military. American policymakers must recognize the dangerous possibility Erdogan will knowingly transform Turkey into the next Pakistan in pursuit of his own interests.

Headline: Turkey blocks access to WikiLeaks after release of 300k govt emails over post-coup purges
Headline: Turkey Suspends 6,500 Education Ministry Staff, Bans Academics From Leaving Country
Turkey has taken action to block access to the WikiLeaks website after a cache of around 300,000 government emails was released following last weekend’s attempted coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Reuters reports. WikiLeaks managed to publish the 294,548 emails on Tuesday, despite its website being subject to a massive cyberattack. “WikiLeaks has moved forward its publication schedule in response to the [Turkish] government’s post-coup purges,” WikiLeaks said in the release. “We have verified the material and the source, who is not connected, in any way, to the elements behind the attempted coup, or to a rival political party or state,” added the whistleblowing site, which has previously insisted that it is neither pro- nor anti-government, but rather serves “the truth.” All emails which were released were attributed to ‘akparti.org.tr’, the primary domain of the main political force in the country, and cover a period from 2010 up until July 6, 2016, just a week before the failed military coup.

Headline: Erdogan locks US airmen, nuclear arms in Incirlik
***on Monday July 18 we posted a news story titled: “Turkish Police Raid Incirlik Airbase Where US-Led Coalition Jets Are Based” at this link: http://sputniknews.com/asia/20160718/1043217638/turkey-raid-incirlik.html
Today’s news is the continuation of the situation:
Some 1,500 US airmen and their families have been locked in the southern Turkish air base of Incirlik together with a stock if tactical nuclear bombs since President Reccep Erdogan crushed an attempted coup on Saturday, July 16. In the four days up until Wednesday, July 20, therefore, no air strikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq have been staged that Turkish base. This extraordinary situation, reported here by debkafile’s military sources, whereby a large group of American military personnel are held virtual captive by an allied government, was almost certainly raised in the phone call that took place Tuesday between President Barack Obama and Erdogan. But the most outlandish aspect of this affair is that no American official has raised it in public – nor even by the administrations most vocal critics at the Republican convention which nominated Donald Trump as presidential candidate. The situation only rated a brief mention in some Russian publications under the heading: “Turkish investigators enter & search Incirlik air base where US nukes are housed.” Our military sources report that deep bunkers located near the base’s running strips house B61 tactical nuclear gravity bombs. In the course of the massive sweep-cum-purge Erdogan is conducting in every corner of the country, hundreds of police officers accompanied by Ministry of Justice and Attorney General Office investigators are the only people permitted to enter the strategic air base, and only emergency cases may leave, after coordinating with the Turkish authorities. The base is under virtual siege by large police contingents, cut off from electric power for several days except for local generators which will soon run out of fuel.

Headline: Iran left with no choice but to confront the US, official warns
Iran is left with no choice but to confront the US, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani warned Wednesday. Iran’s Press TV quoted Larijani as issuing the warning in light of legislation proposed by US opponents to the Iran nuclear deal to further sanction the Islamic Republic and the UN’s first bi-annual report on the deal’s implementation released earlier this week which suggested that Iran was not following “the spirit of the deal.” “Majlis (Iranian Parliament), utterly regretting the UN chief’s move, is warning the US administration and its House of Representatives and Senate that injurious measures against the nuclear agreement have reached such a point that there is no way left for Iran but to counteract,” Larijani stated.

Sudan
Headline: South Sudan Government Rejects Foreign Troops, Backs Protest
South Sudan’s government on Wednesday organized a protest against the deployment of foreign troops to secure its capital after recent clashes between opposing army factions left hundreds dead. The African Union this week called for a “regional protection force” to bolster a 12,000-strong U.N. peacekeeping mission in the East African country and separate warring parties. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has supported reinforcing the mission. The spokesman for South Sudan’s former rebel leader Riek Machar, now first vice president, says Machar has also called for a “third force” to secure the capital, Juba, after President Salva Kiir’s forces bombed his house during the fighting that raised fears of a return to civil war. The spokesman, James Gatdet Dak, said Machar fled Juba and will not return, despite Kiir’s invitation, until such an outside force is in place. Hundreds marched Wednesday denouncing the intervention of foreign troops. “If the international community continues to bring in all their alleged military in South Sudan, we will fight them whether they come by air or by road,” protest organizer Ajongo Ajongo said. “We will be malicious. South Sudan will become even worse place than Afghanistan. Let the peace come from us. Don’t impose things on us. It will be regrettable.” Army spokesman Lul Ruai Koang said that “any deployment of a foreign force that is not authorized by the political leadership is going to be resisted.”

Three French soldiers have been killed in Libya, according to the country’s defense ministry. “Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian regrets the loss of three French officers who died while on mission in Libya,” the ministry said in a statement. “He lauds the bravery and devotion of the French military personnel who, each day, are carrying out dangerous missions against terrorists.” The ministry did not elaborate on how exactly the soldiers were killed, but the soldiers are the first reported Western military casualties from since it became known earlier this year that special forces operators were working on the ground in Libya. France has had jets flying reconnaissance missions over Libya. The French military, along with the British and US militaries, has been backing Libya’s unity government in battling jihadists from the Islamic State group since earlier this year.

Armenia
Headline: Tear gas fired, clashes outside police station in Armenian capital as hostage crisis continues
Clashes have erupted between protesters and police in the Armenian capital of Yerevan. People erected barricades next to a police station that was hijacked by armed men on July 17 and which is still under their control. People have been throwing stones at police, while law enforcement officials lobbed stun grenades in return. Several protesters were injured during the stand off with police, TASS reported. There are also “numerous” casualties among police ranks, Armenia’s deputy police chief told Interfax. Protesters are said to be the supporters of hijackers who are currently inside the police station, News Armenia reported, as cited by Russia’s RBK news outlet. Police have meanwhile managed to bring the situation under control, TASS reported. The agency cites police as saying that dozens of people were detained following the violence. A group of armed men seized a police station and hostages in Yerevan on Sunday, killing one law enforcement officer and injuring two others. The attack was launched to demand the release of Armenian opposition figure Jirayr Sefilyan, who was detained last month after authorities allegedly uncovered a plot to seize several buildings and telecommunication facilities in Yerevan. According to the latest statement from Armenia’s National Security Service, its special forces are ready to take action, but only when a need for it emerges.

Headline: Mali attack: Gunmen kill 17 soldiers at military base
At least 17 soldiers have been killed and 30 wounded in an attack on a military base in Mali, officials say. Heavily armed men overran the base, in the central town of Nampala, and set parts of it on fire. Two separate groups have claimed responsibility for the attack. President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita called a security meeting with the prime minister, defence minister and commanders of the armed forces after being made aware of the deaths. There are a number of armed groups in Mali, encompassing ethnic and jihadist concerns. A recently formed group said it attacked the base in response to the Malian army attacking the Fulani ethnic group. But the Islamist militant group Ansar Dine also said it was responsible.

Headline: Teenager who terrorized German train appears in Islamic State video
Islamic State has claimed an Afghan teenager who attacked passengers on a train in Germany with an axe on Monday night as one of its ‘fighters’. Earlier on Tuesday, the interior minister said a hand-drawn Isil flag was found in the room of the 17-year-old, whose attack left three seriously injured. Police shot dead the suspect as he attempted to flee the scene. The assault in Wurzburg was the latest suspected terror attack to shock Europe following the atrocity in Nice last Thursday. Isil’s online Amaq news agency released a statement claiming the attack. “The perpetrator of the stabbing attack in Germany was one of the fighters of the Islamic State and carried out the operation in answer to the calls to target the countries of the coalition fighting the Islamic State,” the statement said. “It is quite probable that this was an Islamist attack,” said a ministry spokesman on Monday, adding that the attacker had apparently shouted “Allahu akbar” (God is greatest) as he stabbed people. The attacker was said to have been carrying “weapons for slashing and cutting”, according to German media reports, including an axe. Three people were “seriously injured,” 14 people were left in shock, and one other person suffered minor injuries. Among those injured were four member of a Hong Kong family.

Headline: North Korea fires three ballistic missiles in new show of force
North Korea fired three ballistic missiles on Tuesday which flew between 500 and 600 km (300-360 miles) into the sea off its east coast, South Korea’s military said, the latest in a series of provocative moves by the isolated country. The U.S. military said it detected launches of what it believed were two Scud missiles and one Rodong, a home-grown missile based on Soviet-era Scud technology. North Korea has fired both types numerous times in recent years, an indication that unlike recent launches that were seen as efforts by the North to improve its missile capability, Tuesday’s were meant as a show of force. “This smells political rather than technical to me,” said Melissa Hanham, a senior research associate at the U.S.-based Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, California. “I think the number and distance of the missiles lets them remind the ROK (Republic of Korea) of what they are up against,” she said, referring to South Korea by its official name.
