Headline: ISIS cell in Jerusalem?
Six Jerusalem Arabs have been indicted for allegedly working to establish a cell of the ISIS terror organization inside Israel. The six were charged in a Jerusalem court of security offenses, assisting an enemy in war-time, and association with a terror group. The suspects are residents of the Shuafat and Anata neighborhoods. According to the indictment, from 2015 until August 2016, the suspects made efforts to enlist in ISIS and establish an ISIS cell inside Israel. Among other activities, the six organized study sessions to spread the terror group’s radical ideology. The indictment also revealed that some of the suspects attempted to travel to Syria to join the jihadist organization’s fight against the Assad regime. The suspects also reportedly planned terror attacks against Jews in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Headline: For Israeli Druze, the War in Syria Is a Horrifying Spectator Sport
In this hidden spot in the Golan Heights, the fighting in Syria is just 300 meters away. There’s a concealed site in the Israeli part of the Golan Heights, between the Druze villages of Bukata and Majdal Shams, east of the main road and adjacent to the fence marking the border, from where the war in Syria – which is singeing the border area between the Israeli and Syrian sections of this plateau – can be observed with the unaided eye. For those who have come to watch, every exploding shell is harrowing: It’s their relatives who are being battered. People from local Druze villages come here, ostensibly to witness the fate of their relatives in the village opposite that’s being shelled. Occasionally phone calls are made to the village, or text messages sent, to find out what’s happening and how people are doing. On weekends, Israeli Druze come here, too. It’s not the horrors of Aleppo, more a war of attrition that seems to have clear rules of its own. It’s said in the Golan Heights that Israel is preventing the Nusra Front rebels from capturing Khader, in Syria. All they can do is try to wear it down and terrorize its residents. Other than the area of Khader, however, a large Druze village of 11,000 people whose homes are scattered on the slopes of the hill across the way, the rebels here effectively control the whole boundary line with Israel, with either its support or its tacit agreement. Khader is on the left, defended by the local militia and the Syrian army, while to the right, seeking shelter among the trees, are the Nusra Front fighters.

Headline: Jordan to open permanent office at NATO
Jordan will open a permanent office at NATO in early 2017, according to Brig. Gen. Mekhled Suheim, joint training director at the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army. “We asked for this a few years ago and NATO has finally approved it,” the officer said at a recent meeting with journalists at the King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Centre (KASOTC) to highlight NATO-funded training for Iraqi officers conducted at the facility. Jordan has 33 partnership goals to achieve with NATO, he said. “We have achieved six already and we have 27 goals to achieve now. Having a permanent office in NATO will help us speed up the fulfilment of these goals. We are already an enhanced opportunity partner with NATO, and having our staff there will help us open doors and boost the existing cooperation,” said Suheim. “Being there will enhance Jordan’s capabilities and will help increase the support we are receiving from the alliance in a wider variety of areas,” he added. The permanent office will work on increasing cooperation and support to Jordan, said Suheim, noting that the Kingdom needs additional technical support and defence capacity building.

Headline: ISIS launches new offensive in eastern Qalamoun
The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) launched a new offensive inside the eastern Qalamoun region of rural Damascus on Saturday night, targeting the Free Syrian Army’s (FSA) positions at Jabal Afa’ii. ISIS began the assault by storming the eastern perimeter of Jabal Afa’ii, resulting in a fierce battle with the Free Syrian Army that is still ongoing at the moment. According to the Free Syrian Army’s official media wing, their forces reportedly destroyed one of the Islamic State’s technical vehicles that was mounted with an anti-aircraft machine gun. Today’s attack by the Islamic State is the second offensive launched by the aforementioned terrorist group this month.

Headline: US warships sent to area where Iran-backed rebels attacked Saudi-led coalition ship
The U.S. Navy dispatched three warships near the southern coast of Yemen after four rockets hit and nearly sank a United Arab Emirates auxiliary ship Saturday, two U.S. defense officials told Fox News. Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack. There were no reported injuries to the Emerati crew. Al Jazeera reported on video of the attack. Iran supplied the Houthis with the “shoulder-fired rockets” that nearly destroyed the UAE ship, according to two U.S. officials. It was not immediately clear what type of rocket the rebels may have fired. Military officials sent the Navy warships to the southern end of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, also known as the Mandab Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. Two U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers, USS Mason and USS Nitze, armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles, Harpoon anti-ship missiles and an assortment of deck-mounted high-caliber machine guns, joined USS Ponce, a floating staging ship which includes a compliment of special operations forces, according to one official.

Egypt
Headline: China to finance Egypt’s $45 billion capital city in the desert
Headline: Proposed new capital of Egypt
Egypt’s plan to build a glittering new capital city in the desert was written off by many as nothing more than a dream for a country with a struggling economy. That dream, however, appears headed for reality after China stepped in to bankroll much of the $45 billion project. China Fortune Land Development announced on Sept. 25 it would invest $20 billion in the project. That announcement followed the pledge of $15 billion from China’s state-owned construction company. Work has already begun for the as yet unnamed new capital 28 miles south of the current capital Cairo. The new city, located on a 270-square-mile slice of desert owned by the Egyptian army, would be home to some 5 million people. City planners envision a city with skyscrapers rivaling those in Dubai, green areas comparable to New York City’s Central Park, an international airport larger than London’s Heathrow and an amusement park on the scale of Disney World. Several hundred apartment buildings already have gone up in the new city, and construction crews are building roads and laying sewage lines. The target for completion of the new capital is 2021 (see links below)
In an often forgotten part of Isaiah there is a verse about Egypt:
Isaiah 19:18-25
18 In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of these will be called the City of Destruction.19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border. 20 It will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to the Lord because of oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them. 21 And the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day and worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to the Lord and perform them. 22 And the Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing, and they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their pleas for mercy and heal them. 23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. 24 In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, 25 whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”
‘iyr meaning the city
Herec meaning destruction
Since Isaiah calls it the city of destruction, although the rest of the verse tells us that 5 cities will speak the Holy language and there will be an altar of the Lord in Egypt, what does this mean? Many commentaries believe that Isaiah made a wordplay here on ‘city of the sun’ ((’ir hašemeš) by writing ’ir haheres which literally means “city of destruction”. Going on with the commentaries thought, if it is city of the sun, most believe this is the Egyptian city of Heliopolis. Heliopolis is 8 miles from Cairo; here is a map showing the proposed new capital city, Cairo and Heliopolis. Could this new capital be the City of Destruction Isaiah is talking about (rather than Heliopolis)? We’ll have to keep on the watch and see!

Russia warned the United States about taking direct action against the Syrian regime, saying it would cause negative consequences across the Middle East, Russia’s state-run Sputnik news agency reported Saturday. Sputnik reported that Russian’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, “If the US launches a direct aggression against Damascus and the Syrian army, it will lead to terrible, tectonic shifts not only on the territory of this country but also in the region in general.” She said the United States risked creating a power vacuum in Syria were it to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Such a power vacuum would be filled by “terrorists of all sorts,” Sputnik reported. Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin abandoned a key nuclear disarmament treaty with the U.S. and demanded the removal of sanctions and troop reductions from Russia’s former Cold War enemy to restore the agreement. Putin withdrew Russia from a plutonium disposal pact Monday in a decree that accused the U.S. of “unfriendly” actions that posed a “threat to strategic stability.” The president said the U.S. had failed to honor the agreement, signed in 2000, which commits both countries to eliminating their stockpiles of plutonium used as the core material in some types of nuclear weapons.

Syrian rebels aim to reach the ISIS-held town of Dabiq within 48 hours if all goes to plan, one of their commanders said on Monday, as a Turkey-backed operation in northern Syria targets an area of great religious significance to the group. Ahmed Osman of the Sultan Murad rebel group also said that advances near Dabiq had been slowed because ISIS had heavily mined the area. “If matters proceed as planned, within 48 hours we will be in Dabiq,” Osman told Reuters. He said 15 rebel fighters killed on Sunday had been killed by landmines and a mortar attack in the village of Turkman Bareh, which the Turkey-backed fighters had seized from ISIS.

Syria Headline: 15 Turkey-Backed Syrian Rebels Killed in Fighting with IS
Turkish military officials said 15 Syrian opposition fighters were killed and about 35 were wounded in the fighting, which seeks to capture seven residential districts south of the town of al-Rai. According to an emailed statement, “intense” clashes had taken place in the regions of Boztepe, Hardanah and Turkmen Bari. The statement said the casualties occurred over the last 24 hours. The Turkish officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 21 rebels were killed and more than two dozen wounded, adding that many of the casualties were due to land mines and booby-traps planted by the extremists near the village Turkmen Bari. The Observatory, which relies on a network of activists across Syria, said the Turkey-backed rebel forces are trying to reach the town of Dabiq. IS propaganda claims the town is going to be the location of an epic battle with invading Christian forces in which Muslims will win. IS has been preparing for the battle in Dabiq for weeks, planting mines and explosives and sending some of its most experienced fighters to defend the town, which has been in IS hands since August 2014. The extremists have named their online magazine after the town.

Turkey
Headline: Turkey extends state of emergency for 90 days
Turkey will extend a state of emergency imposed after the failed coup last July for another three months starting from 19 October, the government said on Monday. The decision was announced after a weekly cabinet meeting chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at his presidential palace in Ankara. “The state of emergency will be extended for another 90 days starting October 19 from 1 am,” Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus told a news conference after the cabinet meeting. The decision still needs to be put to a vote in the 550-seat parliament but it is certain to be passed as the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) enjoys a majority in the house. The main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) has accused the government of using the abortive putsch to stifle dissent. Erdogan, however, defended Turkey’s actions by pointing to France which has extended emergency since the Islamic State-claimed attacks on Paris in November. The opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has also voiced support for the extension. The government says basic freedoms will not be undermined. It says the state of emergency is needed to hunt down suspects in the failed putsch, blamed by authorities on US-based Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen. “The extension means we are still taking certain steps to address vital challenges to our democracy,” a senior Turkish official said on condition of anonymity.

Erdogan also noted that October would be a significant month in EU-Turkey relations as “it is necessary” for visa-free travel for Turks into the Schengen Area be enforced in this month. “The fact that our country has been kept waiting at the door for 53 years shows your (the EU’s) opinion towards us,” noted Erdogan.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned Saturday a US Congress vote to override Barack Obama’s veto of a bill allowing 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia, saying he expected the move to be reversed as soon as possible. Relations between Ankara and Riyadh have tightened considerably in the past months as they pursue joint interests in Syria as they both support the terrorist groups against the Syrian civilians, army and government. Erdogan had just the day earlier hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef for talks at his palace. “The allowing by the US Congress of lawsuits to be opened against Saudi Arabia over the 9/11 attacks is unfortunate,” Erdogan said in a speech for the opening of parliament. “It’s against the principle of individual criminal responsibility for crimes. We expect this false step to be reversed as soon as possible,” he added.

Headline: Erdogan: Giving islands back to Greece was a mistake
On Thursday, Turkish President Erdogan expressed the “mistake” it was for the young Turkish Republic to allow islands to be given to Greece in the Treaty of Lausanne after World War 1, despite these islands being historically, ethnically and culturally Greek. “We gave away islands to Greece that we could reach with a shout in Lausanne. Is this victory? They tried to trick us into believing that Lausanne was a victory,” Erdogan said during a speech in Ankara. The Greek leader Alexis Tsipras however highlighted the latest rant by Erdogan could threaten bilateral relations between Athens and Ankara who currently have a strong relationship. “Questioning the Treaty of Lausanne, which established norms in Greco-Turkish relations (and) the status quo in the Aegean and its islands, is dangerous to relations between the two countries and to the broader region,” Tsipras’ office quoted him as saying on Friday.” (1st link below)
This sounds as if Erdogan is picking a fight with Greece. So what would happen if it came to a fight? Let’s take a look:
***Cyprus is a member of the EU and part of ISIS 5 year plan map
Turkey flatly refuses to recognize the government of the Republic of Cyprus, stating that the Republic – as established by the Constitution of 1960 – ceased to exist when the intercommunal violence that commenced in December 1963 ended Turkish Cypriot participation in the Cypriot government. The attempted coup in July 1974 – engineered by Greek Military Junta – was responded to by Turkey by a full military invasion, which resulted in the northern third of the island being occupied by Turkish military forces. This portion of Cyprus unilaterally declared independence in November 1983 as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), which Turkey recognizes. Turkey refers to the Republic of Cyprus government as “The Greek Cypriot Administration of South Cyprus.” Cyprus takes the view that the TRNC government is a puppet administration, and thus prefers to negotiate with Turkey over the resolution of the Cyprus Problem. Turkey insists that the TRNC government is the institution that the RoC government must refer to in negotiations. Cyprus’ accession to the European Union has had a negative impact on Turkey in regards to its own accession negotiations. The refusal of Turkey to allow Cypriot-flagged ships to access Turkish ports has resulted in a partial suspension of its accession negotiations. However Cyprus is in favor of Turkey’s Accession to the EU with the hope it will facilitate a viable and just solution of the Cyprus Problem. The relations between the Greek and the Turkish states have been marked by alternating periods of mutual hostility and reconciliation ever since Greece won its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1832. The Treaty of Lausanne was a peace treaty signed in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 24 July 1923. It officially settled the conflict that had originally existed between the Ottoman Empire and the Allied British Empire, French Republic, Kingdom of Italy, Empire of Japan, Kingdom of Greece, and the Kingdom of Romania since the onset of World War I.
So we have a country that ISIS wants: Cyprus. It has been split in half : Cyprus and N. Cyprus- which only Turkey recognizes. So if it comes to a fight then Cyprus would side with Greece and N. Cyprus would side with Turkey. Perfect time for ISIS is get ITS part of the map. We will have to continue to watch to see what happens!

Headline: Al-Shabab Bomb Attack Hits Mogadishu Restaurant
A car bomb targeting Somalia security forces rocked the capital, Mogadishu, on Saturday afternoon. At least two people were killed and six others were wounded in the explosion, according to security sources. A security official told VOA Somali that a white Toyota Corolla filled with explosives was detonated outside the Blue Sky restaurant. The restaurant is used by civilians as well as security forces who work at a nearby prison run by Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency – NISA. Shortly after the attack, the al-Qaida affiliated al-Shabab terror group took responsibility in a statement published through the group’s platform on the encrypted “Telegram” messaging application.

Headline: The US government no longer controls the Internet
The U.S. government just relinquished control over one very large entity — the internet. As of Saturday, October 1, the federal National Telecommunications and Information Administration no longer exercises control over the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which has long been the manager of internet domain names. But now, ICANN is truly an independent non-profit, free from the oversight of the American government. Instead, as an autonomous not for profit organization, ICANN will now answer to international stakeholders across the internet community, including a governmental advisory committee, a technical committee, industry committee, internet users, and telecommunications experts. Lawrence Strickling, Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information at the Department of Commerce, released a brief statement early Saturday on the transition, saying simply. “As of October 1, 2016, the IANA [Internet Assigned Numbers Authority] functions contract has expired.”

Headline: China’s yuan joins elite club of IMF reserve currencies
China’s yuan joins the International Monetary Fund’s basket of reserve currencies on Saturday in a milestone for the government’s campaign for recognition as a global economic power. The yuan joins the U.S. dollar, the euro, the yen and British pound in the IMF’s special drawing rights (SDR) basket, which determines currencies that countries can receive as part of IMF loans. It marks the first time a new currency has been added since the euro was launched in 1999.The IMF is adding the yuan, also known as the renminbi, or “people’s money”, on the same day that the Communist Party celebrates the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. “The inclusion into the SDR is a milestone in the internationalization of the renminbi, and is an affirmation of the success of China’s economic development and results of the reform and opening up of the financial sector,” the People’s Bank of China said in a statement. China will use this opportunity to further deepen economic reforms and open up the sector to promote global growth, the central bank added.

Headline: Some Deutsche Bank Clients Unable To Access Cash Due To “IT Outage”
US authorities have demanded Germany’s biggest lender pay a $14billion (£10.5bn) charge that is almost as much as Deutsche’s entire value. The lender urgently needs to secure a substantially lower fine before the US presidential election to have any hope of restoring market confidence. The threat of the fine has pushed the bank’s shares to record lows in recent weeks. Officials at Deutsche are now racing to reach a settlement over the mis-selling mortgage-backed securities before America votes on its next president in November. It comes as German politicians accused the US of waging an “economic war” on the bank.

Headline: Cash-strapped Saudi Arabia switches to Gregorian calendar to pay civil servants less
Saudi Arabian civil servants will lose 11 days of pay after the country switched to the Gregorian calendar, the predominant format for organizing time in the West. The switch is part of austerity measures meant to curb the budget deficit. Previously, only the private sector of the Gulf monarchy used the Gregorian calendar of its oil customers to calculate salaries, while the public sector has used the Islamic lunar Hijri calendar since 1932. Under it, a year comprises of 12 months lasting 354 or 355 days, or 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar. The salaries are calculated on annual basis, so a longer year translates into less payment for the employees. The switch came into force on Sunday, the last day of the year 1437 AH, and is part of a wider austerity effort that the Saudi government is enacting to cut budgetary spending, Gulf News reported. Riyadh is also curbing financial perks for public servants, salaries of officials, annual bonuses, transport allowances, and the number of annual holidays. The new rules apply to both civilian and military officials regardless of their nationality, according to the report. Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, has been hit hard by the drop in crude oil prices that began in 2014, forcing it to attempt massive reform to cut spending and diversify the economy.

Headline: Brexit unleashed: First step to make UK a ‘sovereign and independent country once again’
UK Prime Minister Theresa May and her “three Brexiteers” – Boris Johnson, Liam Fox and David Davis – have taken the first step toward implementing Britain’s exit from the European Union. May and the Brexiteers announced the “Great Repeal Bill” at the Oct. 2 Tory conference. The bill will nullify the 1972 European Communities Act, “which is the current vehicle by which EU laws are implemented in the UK,” the Sunday Express reported. May told the Sunday Times: “This marks the first stage in the UK becoming a sovereign and independent country once again. It will return power and authority to the elected institutions of our country. It means that the authority of EU law in Britain will end.” As part of the process, the prime minister, will transfer all current EU laws and regulations onto British parliament’s statute books. “It’s very simple. At the moment we leave, Britain must be back in control. And that means EU law must cease to apply,” said Davis, who May named as Britain’s Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union. “That is what people voted for – power and authority residing once again with the sovereign institutions of our own country.”

The U.S. government will, beginning this week, pay for soldiers to undergo treatment and surgery for gender reassignment. The policy, which was first announced in June, applies to active duty soldiers who have received approval for gender reassignment from a military physician and from their commanding officers, according to the Department of Defense. The military health program will cover therapy and hormone treatments along with surgery for approved service members diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The policy does not yet extend to military dependents.

Critics say a combination of federal and local policies is being blamed for rolling out the red carpet for illegal immigrants, some of whom have committed violent crimes, allowing them to pour into a Long Island, N.Y., neighborhood where four teens have been murdered in recent weeks. Federal policy that allows Central American children apprehended by Border Patrol to be placed with illegal immigrant sponsors has sent thousands of teens to the region in recent years. While most don’t arrive as hardened gang members, many are placed in homes with little supervision, say critics. “It should not be surprising that when these kids are allowed to enter illegally and then are placed in the custody of someone who is here illegally, they do not have much of an interest in complying with the process,” said Jessica Vaughan, director for policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies. Compounding matters for some communities on Long Island, which has been plagued with violent crimes from the notorious El Salvadoran gang MS-13, is Suffolk County’s status as a sanctuary county. The Center for Immigration Studies reports that Sheriff Vincent DeMarco, who could not be reached for comment, refuses to honor Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers without a warrant.

Mexico’s Colima volcano has generated eruptions that have led to the evacuation of hundreds and the creation of a more than 7-mile exclusion zone, Mexican officials said. The Mexican government said Colima’s elevated volcanic activity has maintained since last Monday. The Colima volcano — known by Mexicans as the Volcano of Fire — is in Mexico’s Colima state, which borders the Jalisco state where authorities have also declared a nearly 5-mile exclusion zone. “At the risk of falling ash, we maintain the recommendation to cover eyes and mouths; cover water tanks; that people with respiratory problems avoid, as possible, outdoor activities, and sweep the ash to be deposited in plastic bags,” the Mexican government said in a statement.
