Headline:  Hamas Front Group Receives UN Status

The Hamas front group the Palestinian Rights Center (PRC) received official UN non-governmental organization (NGO) status on Monday night, angering Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely (Likud). “The decision that a Hamas organization will join the UN is outrageous,” Hotovely stated. “Hamas, only last summer, was hiding behind women and children to fire missiles at Israeli civilian centers.” “Inserting the Hamas-affiliated organization into UN institutions is awarding a prize to terrorism and its activities – there is no other way to interpret this decision,” she added. Out of the 19-member Committee for NGOs, 12 supported the decision – including Iran, Sudan, Venezuela, Turkey, Pakistan, China and Cuba. Opposing were the United States, Uruguay and Israel alone; India, Russia and Greece abstained. The PRC now has full access to UN events and participation in debates, and – most importantly – has gained more ammo for international legitimacy.

Headline:   First Hamas-ISIS firefight in Gaza. “Islamic State of Jerusalem” supporters sighted on Israeli border

ISIS supporters were shot dead in Gaza Tuesday, June 2, in their first firefight with Hamas forces come to arrest them  The Islamists had planted a bomb trap in their hideout. The showdown occurred 48 hours after the Ansar al Dawa al-Islamia, renamed “Supporters of the Islamic State of Jerusalem,” gave Hamas a 48-hour ultimatum to end its crackdown on the group and release dozens of Islamists held for a series of attacks. debkafile: ISIS fighters were spotted for the first time this week on the Gazan-Israeli border. They have threatened to target Eilat Port. debkafile first reported Monday, June 1, on the appearance of ISIS on the Israeli border with details. Followers of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant were spotted for the first time in the Gaza Strip this week, debkafile’s military sources report. Their arrival on Israel’s border was confirmed as a division-strength IDF force launched its large-scale “Turning Point 2015” exercise for repelling Islamist cross-border incursions. The Islamist group which has established a substantial anti-Hamas presence in the Gaza Strip is Ansar al Dawa al-Islamia, renamed “Supporters of the Islamic State of Jerusalem.” Israeli, Egyptian and Hamas’ military sources are all concerned to make light of this development. When asked, they say that the group’s nature and scope have not yet been evaluated. Western and Middle East governments took the same tack two years ago, when ISIS first embarked on its calamitous course in Syria.

Headline:     Something Else Coming In September: A UN Resolution Establishing A Palestinian State

Headline:   State Dept.: No Decision Yet on French UN Initiative

There has been a lot of talk about things that are going to happen in September, but something that has been almost totally overlooked is the fact that the UN Security Council is likely to be voting on a UN resolution which will establish a Palestinian state at that time.  Right now, France is working on a proposed resolution which would give formal UN Security Council recognition to the Palestinians, would declare that a divided Jerusalem is the capital of both Israel and a Palestinian state, and would set the 1967 borders as the baseline for future negotiations which would establish the final borders between the two nations.  It is being reported that France will submit this resolution for a vote after the 70th session of the UN General Assembly begins on the 15th of September.  At this moment, 136 nations have already recognized a Palestinian state, but the United States has always blocked recognition by the UN Security Council.  This time may be different though, because there are quite a few indications that Barack Obama actually plans to back the French resolution in September.  If that happens, and the UN Security Council approves this resolution, it is going to have enormous implications for all of us.

Lebanese security sources said Tuesday that the Israel Air Force struck targets near its border with Syria in the east, the Lebanese Daily Star reported.  Hezbollah’s media outlet, Al-Manar, immediately denied that there had been an Israeli strike. Israel has not yet responded to the report. There was no clear indication that the attack was indeed Israeli, or whether it was a spillover from Syrian infighting near the area. The reported strike took place near Britel, deep in the Bekaa Valley, 44 km south of the embattled town of Arsal. The security sources said it was unclear whether there were any casualties.

The Nusra Front claimed Tuesday that it had killed several Hezbollah militants and confiscated their weapons in an attack on two of the party’s outposts near Arsal’s outskirts. The jihadi group announced on its Twitter account that its militants attacked two Hezbollah positions between the outskirts of the Lebanese villages of Nahleh and Arsal and posted several photos of weapons it had seized in the raid. It did not specify the number of Hezbollah fighters killed, but said that all stationed at the two outposts were dead. Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV also reported that Nusra’s militants attacked two party positions in the area of Harf Mohsen, but said the attack was foiled and several jihadis we killed. It did not mention any deaths among Hezbollah’s fighters.

Headline:   Saudi Arabia Appoints Ambassador to Iraq

Al Arabiya News today reports that after a 24 year absence Saudi Arabia has sworn in a residential Ambassador to Iraq. Saudi Arabia’s Baghdad embassy was closed in 1991 after the Saddam Hussein regime invasion of Kuwait which led to the first Iraq War, Desert Storm. Relations between Iraq and Saudi Arabia have improved markedly since Haider al Abadi took over as Prime Minister in September 2014. King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud oversaw a swearing in ceremony on Tuesday, where former Saudi military attaché to Lebanon Thamer bin Sabhan Al Sabhan took the oath. The appointment comes after months of negotiations between the neighbouring countries.

Syria Headline:    U.S. accuses Syria of backing Islamic State’s Aleppo advance

Islamic State jihadists in Syria have advanced on towns and villages close to the Turkish border, laying siege to one of the last supply routes into the city of Aleppo. In a lightening strike the jihadists have captured up to 25 villages in Aleppo province and closed in on the border town of Azaz, one of the last hubs for aid agencies providing help to tens of thousands of civilians trapped in war-riven Aleppo. “It’s a horror of death and bombing,” said one aid worker in the area, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of attacks from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil). “Today Azaz is being shelled. Humanitarian agencies were providing food and hygiene kits to people in Aleppo. But two nights ago, when the campaign began, they had to take what they could form the warehouses and escape.”

Iraq Headline: ‘2,300 Humvees in Mosul alone’: Iraq reveals number of US arms falling into ISIS hands

Iraq has admitted that ISIS jihadists captured huge caches of US-made weapons, including thousands of Humvees seized from Iraqi forces retreating from Mosul last year. The spoils of war have since then been used by ISIS to gain ground in Iraq and Syria. “In the collapse of Mosul, we lost a lot of weapons,” Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in an interview with Iraqiya state TV. “We lost 2,300 Humvees in Mosul alone.” Just this month the Pentagon estimated that at least half a dozen tanks were abandoned when Baghdad forces lost Ramadi, in addition to artillery pieces, and some 100 Humvees. Meanwhile the US approved new arms deliveries to the Iraqis last December to replenish the stock ransacked by IS. One contract allows the sale of 175 heavy M1A1 Abarams worth $12.4 billion, while another approves the delivery of 1,000 Humvees, equipped with M2.50 caliber machine guns and MK-19 40mm grenade launchers. They are exactly the types of weapons IS used to gain vast amount of territory both in Iraq and northern Syria. In fact, the first use of US-Humvees on Syrian territory was reported last year shortly after Mosul has fallen to jihadists.

Iraq Headline: IS suicide attackers slow Iraq’s Ramadi counterattack

A huge suicide bomb attack on an Iraqi police base killed at least 37 people Monday, further slowing an operation to retake the city of Ramadi from Islamic State jihadists. The blast came as US-led coalition members carrying out air raids against IS and providing training and weapons to Iraqi forces prepared to meet in Paris for talks on a string of major battlefield gains by the jihadists in Iraq and Syria. A suicide bomber blew up his explosives-laden vehicle at a police base in Iraq’s Salaheddin province, killing at least 37 people and wounding more than 30, officers said. “They are mostly policemen,” said a doctor at the main hospital in the nearby city of Samarra where the casualties were taken. Some police officers said the suicide attacker used a tank to muscle his way into the police base, located between Samarra and Tharthar lake, northwest of Baghdad.

Iraq Headline: ISIS kills 41 police, militiamen in Anbar

Three ISIS suicide bombers targeted a police base in Iraq’s western Anbar province with explosives-laden Humvees Monday, killing at least 41 police and Shiite militiamen, officials said. The attack on a police station in the Tharthar area north of the ISIS-held provincial capital, Ramadi, caused a large secondary explosion in an ammunition depot, the officials said. Another 63 security forces members were wounded in the attack. Hospital officials confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to brief the media. Meanwhile, the U.N. mission to Iraq said Monday that more than 1,031 people were killed and another 1,648 were wounded in violence across the country last month. The U.N. figures showed that 665 civilians and 366 members of the Iraqi security forces were killed in May. Baghdad was the worst affected province with 343 killed and 701 wounded. But, the UNAMI statement excluded deaths from ongoing fighting in Anbar, due to problems in verifying the “status of those killed.” The figures also leave out insurgent deaths.

Turkey

Headline:    Erdoğan: ‘Liberate Jerusalem’ from the Jews

Just one week before upcoming parliamentary elections in Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and officials in his Justice and Development Party (AK Party) found a unique way to try and secure a victory at the polls by calling for the “liberation” of Jerusalem. “Conquest is Mecca, conquest is Saladin, it’s to hoist the Islamic flag over Jerusalem again; conquest is the heritage of Mehmed II and conquest means forcing Turkey back on its feet,” said Erdoğan in a speech on Saturday in Istanbul before millions who appeared to celebrate 562 years since the Turks captured Constantinople from European Christians.   Erdoğan drew a straight historical line between the capture of Jerusalem from the crusaders by Saladin and the capture of Constantinople to the elections in Turkey due to take place next week. Although state employees were required to send a delegation to the celebration, under the threat of punishment, local media reported that many partakers left during the President’s speech. Attempts by Erdoğan and his allies to find political support by linking Jerusalem and Islam have formed a clear and solid trend in Turkey. Only a few days ago, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu dedicated a new airport in the south of the country, naming it after Saladin. According to Davutoğlu, “It’s a name that says to the Kurds, to Turkey, and to the Arabs, yes, this is our leader. “It’s a symbol that unites us,” he continued. “All those who claim that Jerusalem is the Jew’s holy city should be ashamed. We chose the name Saladin in order to send a message with the help of Allah that Jerusalem will always belong to the Kurds, to Turkey, to Arabs, to Muslims.”

Headline:  Russia to Start Construction On New Iranian Nuke Plant

Headline:   Iran tops up its nuclear fuel stockpile by one fifth

Russia announced on Monday that it would start construction this year on a second nuclear plant in Iran, according to regional reports. Russia’s Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation made the announcement early on Monday, stating that it will begin building a second nuclear power plant in Iran’s southern region later this year, according to Iran’s state-controlled Fars News Agency. Meanwhile, an earthquake struck Monday morning near the site of Iran’s current nuclear power plant in Bushehr, near where the second plant will be built. Iranian media outlets reported the quake as hitting a 4.4 magnitude with no injuries occurring as a result. Iran’s southern region is prone to such incidents. Iranian officials announced in late 2014 that it had already begun the initial stages of construction on at least two nuclear plants in the region. In November, Tehran finalized a deal with Russia to aid in the construction of these plants.

Headline:   9 NGO Employees Shot Dead in Afghanistan

Police in northern Afghanistan said Tuesday unknown gunmen have shot dead at least nine employees of an aid agency. A female worker is among those killed in the overnight attack that took place in the Balkh province. The victims were from a non-governmental organization, People in Need, which is said to be working in the agriculture sector. The United Nations warned last month that the Afghan conflict has caused a record rise in civilian casualties in the first few months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. No one has claimed responsibility for Monday’s killings of aid workers in Balkh, where Taliban insurgents have in recent days carried out frequent attacks against government forces and installations.

Sudan

Headline:   Report: Sudan airdropping weapons and ammunition to South Sudan rebels over the last year

Sudan has been supplying South Sudanese rebels with weapons and ammunition, a London-based research organization said Tuesday in a new report that appears to back South Sudan’s persistent allegations of northern interference. The report by Conflict Armament Research, which investigates weapons trafficking, said 70 percent of the ammunition it examined was recently manufactured in Sudan. It added that most of this ammunition had sustained heavy impact damage consistent with witness accounts of aircraft dropping materials to the rebels between September and October last year. Some of the ammunition had been made in China, it added. These weapons had a number of features identical to those we documented on other weapons that Sudan supplied to other previous groups fighting the Juba government before the current fighting broke out in 2013,” Claudio Gramizzi, who led the investigation, told The Associated Press. “I think we can surely confirm the fact that this equipment was airdropped. This comes not only from the reports of (South Sudanese) forces who worked with us but also from the fact that most of the equipment was deformed or bent due to the impact of the landing.” Sudan has been repeatedly accused by its southern neighbor of supporting rebels, charges it routinely denies, maintaining instead that it is South Sudan who is harboring rebels opposed to the government in Khartoum.

Headline: Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb claims 2 attacks in Mali

Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), al Qaeda’s official branch in North Africa, has claimed two recent attacks on UN forces in Mali. The two attacks occurred in the last week and targeted UN peacekeeping forces near the city of Timbuktu. The Mauritanian news agency Al Akhbar, which regularly reports statements from Saharan jihadists, reported that AQIM’s Sahara branch claimed the two attacks in a phone call to the agency. According to a translation by SITE Intelligence Group, the spokesman for AQIM said that the group “confirms its responsibility for the rocket attack on the base of international forces in northern Mali on 25 May.” The attack was reportedly on the UN’s base in the town of Ber, just east of Timbuktu. Al Akhbar said that the group fired more than a dozen rockets into the camp, but no causalities were reported. The second attack was an improvised explosive device (IED) attack on a UN convoy near Timbuktu. The Mauritanian news agency has reported that the commander of the international forces, Dane Michael Lollesgaard, and the head of the international police forces, Djiboutian Awale Abdounasir, were in the convoy. The two were unharmed, but three Burkinabe peacekeepers were wounded in the attack. The al Qaeda group claimed to have killed the three peacekeepers, but other reporting has stated they were left injured.

Headline:  Boko Haram multinational force ready soon: Niger president

Boko Haram early Tuesday attacked the northeastern city of Maiduguri, according to residents awakened by booming explosions, heavy gunfire and the screech of a jet fighter. “We are under siege,” Sumaila Ayuba told The Associated Press by telephone just after midnight from her home on the western flanks of the city. “The shooting is quite deafening. Please we need prayers.” President Muhammadu Buhari announced at his inauguration on Friday that he is moving the military headquarters of the war from Abuja, the capital in central Nigeria, to Maiduguri. The capital of Borno state is the birthplace of Boko Haram, an Islamic extremist group, and the biggest city in northeastern Nigeria. There was no immediate word of casualties in this latest attack. On Saturday, rocket-propelled grenades hit some homes in Maiduguri, killing at least 16 people. Another 17 people died later Saturday when a suicide bomber blew himself up among people prostrating themselves in prayer outside a mosque. On Sunday, a bomb at a market ripped off one man’s arm and wounded three other people.

Headline:   American held in Yemen freed, French hostage pleads for help

Armed tribesmen killed 18 Houthi fighters in an ambush in Yemen’s central province of Ibb on Tuesday, residents said, in one of the deadliest ground attacks in over two months of war. The attack hit a convoy of militiamen and allied army troops in the town of Qaeda while they were en route to the city of Taiz, a flashpoint of clashes between Yemen’s dominant Houthis and armed backers of exiled president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. Farther south in Dhalea province, around 15 Houthi fighters were killed in heavy clashes with pro-Hadi fighters on Monday night. Saudi-led air strikes hit Houthi positions along Yemen’s far northern border with the kingdom and struck military bases aligned with the group in the capital Sanaa on Tuesday. Neighboring Oman, a neutral power, is mediating talks between Houthi and American officials in the capital Muscat aimed at ending Yemen’s conflict. The dialogue also led Yemeni authorities to release to Oman on Monday a detained American freelance journalist.

Headline:  Libya’s economy collapsing

Libya’s public finances, wracked by a dramatic loss in oil revenue that has been exacerbated by a power struggle between rival governments, are foundering, according to reports issued yesterday. The crisis has prompted the authorities in Tripoli, who control much of western Libya, to plan cuts to petrol subsidies, to delay public salary payments and to ban imports from cars to steel. And it has already been forcing the central bank – which is treading a fine line between rival governments and funds the whole country – to burn through its foreign reserves. Libya needs $30 billion to fund imports annually and typically spends $40 billion on its budget. “Libya is on the verge of economic and financial collapse,” UN Special Envoy Bernadino Leon, who has been trying to end a power struggle between the two governments, is insisting. Since last year, the central bank has frozen infrastructure projects, limited spending to basic public salaries and food and petrol subsidies. This has led civil servants, the biggest workforce in Libya, now to say they have not been paid for at least two months and accuse the central bank of not providing local lenders with liquidity to issue paychecks. “We don’t have a budget,” said Colonel Abu Breeda, deputy head of Libya’s police unit combatting illegal immigration. “I am the head of the department but what’s the point? Salaries? Nothing. There are delays everywhere.” The economy is essentially being hit on two sides. The dinar currency has lost 35 per cent of its value against the dollar since January alone. Oil production, meanwhile, has fallen to 400,000 barrels a day, or a quarter of what was the case before an uprising toppled Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.

Headline:   18 quarantined in Hong Kong over MERS fears

South Korea on Tuesday reported the first two deaths from an outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) that has affected 25 people in two weeks. A 58-year-old woman who had had contact with South Korea’s first patient died of acute respiratory failure on Monday, the Health Ministry said. A 71-year-old man who had been on respiratory support with a history of kidney ailments also died. The ministry reported new confirmed cases on Tuesday, bringing the total to 25. South Korea now has the third highest number of cases after Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. China reported its first MERS case in a South Korean man who tested positive after breaking a voluntary house quarantine last week, flying to Hong Kong and then travelling to mainland China. South Korean authorities were considering a ban on overseas travel for the nearly 700 people isolated for possible infection.

Headline:   Meningitis epidemic in Niger, 545 dead

An epidemic of meningitis has killed 545 people in Niger, out of 8,234 people who caught the disease, but has now peaked, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday. The WHO had said that the epidemic was worrying and unprecedented because it was a strain not normally found in Africa and the appropriate vaccine was in short supply. In early May, cases were tripling every two weeks. But the number of new cases slowed in the second half of May amid a vaccination campaign in affected areas. The spread of the disease peaked in the week to May 10, when there were 2,189 cases and 132 deaths. In the last week of the month there were 264 cases and 8 deaths, WHO spokesman Cory Couillard said in an emailed response to Reuters.

Headline:       NASA preps revolutionary ‘flying saucer’ test flight

NASA will conduct an ambitious test flight of its revolutionary ‘flying saucer‘ technology Tuesday as scientists lay the foundations for future Mars missions. The high altitude test at the U.S. Navy Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii, will use a huge balloon to carry the 15-foot wide, 7,000-pound test flying saucer to high altitude. The balloon, roughly the size of three football fields, will lift the flying saucer to 120,000 feet, at which point the vehicle will be released. A booster rocket will then transport the saucer at Mach 4, four times the speed of sound, to a height of 180,000 feet. After reaching a height of 180,000 feet, a doughnut-shaped airbag will inflate around the saucer for its descent to earth. “That airbag helps it slow down by adding more area and drag,” Steve Jurczyk, NASA space technology mission directorate associate administrator told FoxNews.com. “Then we deploy a supersonic parachute about 100 feet in diameter.” Slowed down by the airbag and parachute, the saucer is expected to splash down in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii about 2 hours and 15 minutes after launch.

Headline:      Trendies Ready for Ultimate Wearable: “Chip Implanted in Their Skin Used for Payments”

As SHTF has previously noted, the likelihood of a forced RFID implant under the guise of a martial law pandemic emergency might be a little too obvious, as far as future tyranny goes. Before it comes to that, it seems plenty of people will be voluntarily subjecting themselves to cattle-like status, by jumping at the chance to ditch the inconvenience of a wallet and get a “smarter” payment system that can be embedded under their skin. Via the Business Insider: A mind-boggling 25% of Australians say they are at least “slightly interested” at the prospect of having a chip implanted in their skin that could be used for payments, new research has found. The research by credit card company Visa and the University of Technology Sydney found Australians are open to the prospect of paying for items using wearable tech including smart watches, rings, glasses and even a connected car. “New technology like tokenisation makes it possible to turn any device into a secure vehicle for commerce. We’re already seeing smartphone payments take off in Australia. Things are about to get creepier. The significance of the “mind-boggling 25% of Australians” is that the number is growing into a sizable portion of the population. They are ready to accept it. If that continues, polls might soon show that 60% and 80% of the population are interested in these devices, and that a 25% or 33% of them are already using them. Whereas firms like VeriChip met fierce resistance in introducing implantable RFID chips in the wake of 9/11, the furious trend to buy smart technology is making biometrics and data tracking seem passive and benign – even in the face of Edward Snowden’s revelations about mass surveillance through a partnership between the government and private industry. To make matters more conspiratorial, this poll linking the popularity of wearables, implants and digital payments coincides with numerous calls in the financial sector toban cash and force people to use electronic currency in order to make the enforcement of certain economic policies easier (and to enrich banks with deposit fees, transaction fees and fines, of course).

Headline: Four earthquakes strike off Oregon coast

A series of four earthquakes struck late Sunday and Monday morning off the coast of Oregon. It started with a 5.8 earthquake at 11:52 p.m. in the Pacific nearly 300 miles west of Newport. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s office in Newport said it did not receive any calls from the public about the quake. Amy Vaughan with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said it occurred in an active seismic area. The second earthquake, 4.3 magnitude, struck just after midnight just a mile away from the first quake. The third earthquake hit just before 4 a.m. Monday about 278 miles northwest of Coos Bay. It measured 5.5 magnitude. The fourth earthquake was reported at 7:46 a.m. near the same area.  It measured 4.4 magnitude. There was no tsunami threat from any of the quakes.

Headline:  Dunedin New Zealand jolted by strongest quake in 41 years

The 4.7-magnitude earthquake that rocked parts of Otago last night was believed to be the strongest experienced in the region since 1974. It struck at 11.17pm at a depth of 7km, centred 2km northeast of Lee Stream, some 30km west of Dunedin. The quake was felt in various parts of Otago, but there were no immediate reports of injury or damage. Adrian Bardrick, publican at the Clarks Junction Hotel, on State Highway 87, only about 12km from the epicentre, said they received a pretty good “sort of thump”. It rattled the bottles, he said. “But there was no damage.” The hotel was cleaning up after a good evening. “The Strath Taieri boys had beaten the West Taieri boys” in rugby and had called in on their way home. They had left by the time of the quake. The largest quake significantly affecting Dunedin in the past several decades was on April 9, 1974. It was magnitude 5 and dislodged grocery stock and damaged some chimneys.

Headline:   Arab Rioters Unveil New Weapon to Fight Security Forces

Security forces tasked with dispersing Palestinian Arab riots are used to being attacked with rocks and firebombs, but on Friday they were surprised by a new weapon used by the rioters. Palestinian Arabs on Friday afternoon began violently rioting in the village of Silwad, not far from Ofra, in the Binyamin area. Border Policemen and IDF soldiers from the Netzach Yehuda Battalion who began to move toward a concrete shelter meant to protect the fighters as they disperse riots, were surprised to discover right above their heads a viper snake which had been placed there by the rioters in an attempt to harm the security forces. Company Commander Aaron Moyal commented following the incident, “We have witnessed various attempts to harm security forces, but in this case as well the forces’ vigilance prevented harm.”

Headline:   Blast outside mosque in Saudi Arabia, fatalities reported

Four people were killed in eastern Saudi Arabia after a suicide bomber tried to enter a Shiite mosque during Friday prayers. Islamic State has reportedly claimed responsibility. It is the second attack of its kind in a week. A car exploded outside the Imam Hussein Shiite mosque in the Al Anoud district of the city of Dammam. However, security officials, cited by local media, say the attackers failed to enter the building itself. A car parked near the mosque triggered security forces’ suspicions, but as they tried to approach it, the vehicle exploded, killing four people and setting nearby cars on fire. One witness, identified only as Ahmed, told Reuters he was told by acquaintances at the mosque that a man was killed when he tried to prevent the bomber from entering the building. The terrorist organization Islamic State (formerly known as ISIS, ISIL) has claimed responsibility for the attack in a Twitter post, Reuters reports. On Friday evening, the US military said it doesn’t regard the Islamic State group as a “significant threat” for Saudi Arabia, also failing to confirm the attribution of the blast, according to Reuters.

Syria Headline: Jabhat Al-Nusra Commander Joulani: We Have Instructions to Refrain from Launching Attacks in the West from Syria- VIDEO

An Islamist coalition that includes Syria’s al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra Front has taken over one of the last government strongholds in western Idlib province, activists say. The Jaish al-Fateh, or Conquest Army, took control of the city of Ariha after a “lightning offensive”, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. However, the Syrian army said intense fighting was still going on there. Ariha’s fall would leave most of Idlib, bordering Turkey, in rebel hands. Since late March, rebels have claimed a number of cities in the province, including Idlib and Jisr al-Shughour. As well as bordering Turkey, Idlib is also next to Latakia province, a government stronghold and President Bashar al-Assad’s heartland. Meanwhile, the head of the al-Nusra Front said the group had been ordered by al-Qaeda’s overall leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, not to use Syria to launch attacks on the West. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Abu Mohammed al-Julani said al-Nusra Front was focused on capturing Damascus and toppling President Assad. He also promised to protect Syrian minorities that disavowed Mr Assad.

Iraq Headline:Twin car bombings at Baghdad hotels kill at least 15

Iraq Headline: ISIS Claims Blasts at Upscale Baghdad Hotels

The death toll from bombings that targeted two prominent hotels in Baghdad a day earlier rose to 15 people, with another 42 wounded, Iraqi authorities said on Friday, as a lawmaker warned that the capital is vulnerable to more attacks. The double bombing occurred late Thursday when two separate car bombs went off in the parking lots of the Cristal, formerly Sheraton, and Babil hotels. Initial reports said 10 people were killed and 27 wounded, but the casualty figures rose overnight. The two explosions shattered windows of the recently renovated hotels and destroyed several cars. Baghdad’s top hotels are usually crowded on Thursday nights with people attending wedding celebrations or parties. The twin attacks targeting heavily secured buildings in the heart of Baghdad demonstrate the boldness and freedom with which militants have been able to operate inside the capital.  The two car bombs were detonated by remote control, police said.

Two people were killed in southeast Turkey in a fight between supporters of rival Kurdish parties a week before a parliamentary election, security sources and party officials said. Supporters of Kurdish Islamist party, Huda-Par, and pro-Kurdish leftist Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) clashed in a village in Sirnak province near Turkey’s border with Syria. Two Huda-Par party members were shot dead, party officials told Reuters. A crowd that gathered in front of the hospital chanted slogans and vowed revenge. The HDP is accused by opponents of links to the militant Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has fought a 30-year insurgency against the state in which 40,000 people have been killed. Huda-Par draws support from sympathisers with Turkey’s Hezbollah militant group, which fought the PKK in the 1990s.

The Turkish Armed Forces have formed a new ceremonial brigade, dressed as Ottoman soldiers, to attend events marking the 562nd anniversary of the Turks’ conquest of Istanbul, upon the instructions of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The 1st Army headquarters in Istanbul formed the 478-man “Conquest Unit” through its personnel. The ceremonial brigade will be joined by an 84-men Ottoman military band, known in Turkish as the “Mehter,” in the official ceremony for the anniversary, which will be held in Istanbul on May 30 this year, a day later than the conquest’s traditional commemoration date. Costumes of the Conquest Unit, which will march behind the Mehter, will be provided by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. The full set of historic attire will include 14 different costumes to represent different units of the Ottoman military. President Erdoğan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu are both scheduled to attend the event in Istanbul’s Yenikapı Square a week before the June 7 general election.

The Turkish Anadolu Agency reported today that Erdogan’s henchman, Turkey’s Prime Minister, has made a promise today to his people that if they elect him next month that he promises to soon liberate Jerusalem. Ahmet Davutoglu was using words that are major hints for all students of Bible Prophecy: “Al-Aqsa Mosque [The Temple Mount] is ours forever, and as Allah is my witness and history will testify, it will remain ours forever”. After vowing to retake Jerusalem if elected, Davutoglu stressed that his country “cannot be an ally or friend of those who desecrated the Al-Aqsa Mosque with their boots” referring to Israelis who had to thwart demonstrations. By this Davutoglu is accusing Israel of desecrating the Temple Mount since it is an abomination in Islam for anyone to enter holy ground unless they are barefooted.

Iran

Headline:  UN nuke agency report shows Iran probe essentially stalled

Amid accelerated international efforts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran, the U.N. atomic agency on Friday reported that work on a key element — an assessment of allegations that Tehran worked on atomic arms — remains essentially stalled. The report from the International Atomic Energy Agency also reiterated that more cooperation is needed by Iran for full clarity on its present activities. Without it, the IAEA said it cannot “conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities.” After years of deadlock, Iran and the IAEA agreed in November 2013 on a new attempt to probe the accusations. The U.S. and its allies also included the investigation into a to-do list for talks with Iran meant to curb its nuclear programs in exchange for sanctions relief. Washington continues to insist that full lifting of sanctions depends on the IAEA’s ability to thoroughly probe the accusations and deliver an assessment on its findings. Iran denies any work on — or interest — in nuclear arms. It accuses Israel, the United States and other adversaries of providing phony evidence to the agency for the probe. The IAEA is focused on 12 alleged activities that point to Iranian attempts to make such weapons, including suspicions that Tehran worked on the development on a nuclear payload for missiles. The IAEA relaunched its probe two years ago by asking for information on less sensitive work related to nuclear arms allegedly carried out by Iran, with hopes of moving to larger issues later. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Geneva on Saturday in an effort to move the nuclear talks forward ahead of a June 30 target date for a deal. The confidential report issued Friday by the IAEA increased doubts that the agency could issue substantive findings on the allegations by that time. In Washington, State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said the allegations are “one of the issues that we’re working to resolve in the nuclear negotiations.” He urged Iran to “cooperate fully and without delay with the IAEA to resolve all the outstanding issues, in particular those that give rise to concerns about possible military dimensions of Iran’s nuclear program.”

Headline: ISIS seizes control of airport in Libya’s Sirte

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has seized control of the airport in the city of Sirte after forces of a Tripoli-based Libyan government withdrew, a spokesman said Friday.
Mohamed al-Shami, whose government is not recognised by the international community, said its forces pulled out late Thursday from the airport which had “fallen into the hands of the ISIS organisation.” ISIS itself said it captured the airport, which is also a military base, in a message posted on Twitter. It was the first time that ISIS in Libya has recorded such a military gain. “After they left, Islamic State group fighters entered the base which had been completely emptied of equipment, except for one military plane which is out of use,” said Shami. Gardabiya is located 20 kilometres south of Sirte, hometown of late dictator Muammer Qaddafi who was ousted and killed in Libya’s 2011 uprising. ISIS itself said it took full control of the airport following clashes with forces loyal to the Tripoli government, in a message posted on Twitter. Sirte has been the scene of several months of sporadic fighting between IS and the Fajr Libya (Libya Dawn) militia alliance tasked by the Tripoli government to secure the city.

At least seven people died and 12 were injured when twin bomb blasts by suspected Boko Haram militants struck a wedding party in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state on Friday, locals said. The explosions, two minutes apart, hit the remote town of Tashan Alade at about 6 a.m. local time — hours before new president Muhammadu Buhari vowed in his inauguration speech that the “mindless, godless” militants would be defeated. Thousands have been killed and millions displaced during the Islamist group’s six-year insurgency. At the start of the year it controlled a swathe of territory the size of Belgium in the northeast of Africa’s biggest economy and top oil producer. “Seven people have been killed,” an unnamed police source told Reuters. “Relations and friends of the groom and bridegroom were just gathering when the bomb explosions happened,” said Adamu Illiya, a member of an anti-Boko Haram vigilante group, who added that 12 were injured.

Two explosions shook Burundi’s capital on Friday but no one was hurt, police and a witness said, as deadly unrest against President Pierre Nkurunziza’s bid for a third term in office rumbled on. Pictures circulated on social media showed three charred vehicles in front of a KCB bank branch in downtown Bujumbura, until Friday an area largely free from the demonstrations that erupted on April 26. “We don’t know the cause of the explosion yet,” said a police officer who had visited the scene of the first blast. There were no casualties reported. In late afternoon, a second explosion rocked the same area, close to the post office, a witness said, adding there were no casualties. But a demonstrator was killed in Buterere suburb, where police clashed with protesters who say Nkurunziza’s bid to contest the June 26 presidential poll violates the constitution. A Reuters photographer in the area saw police fire at demonstrators who were hurling rocks at them. In the flashpoint suburb of Cibitoke, police shot at rock-throwing protesters and then used a bulldozer to clear street barricades. The demonstrations, which began a day after Nkurunziza announced plans for a third term, have kindled the biggest political crisis in Burundi since an ethnically-charged civil war ended in 2005.

Heavy fighting erupted in southern Yemen near Aden airport on Friday when a Sunni Muslim militia attacked Shi’ite Houthi rebels in a push to drive Houthis from the district, residents and fighters said. Saudi-led forces also made four air strikes on a military base near the airport, a source in the southern militia told Reuters. The fighting in Khor Maksar has killed four southern militia fighters and 15 Houthis so far, the militia source said. Intense air raids by the Arab alliance were also reported overnight by residents of Saada province, which borders Saudi Arabia in northwestern Yemen. Raids also targeted a weapons storage site in Sanaa, said residents. On Monday, Houthi fighters suffered their first significant setback in the south in two months of civil war when local Sunni militia ejected them from much of the southern city of Dalea, about 170 km (105 miles) north of Aden. The Sunni militias, who call themselves the Southern Resistance, are a loosely allied group of fighters who took up arms against the Houthis.

See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Revelation 6:3-4 speaks of the fiery red horse given power to make men slay one another and Revelation 6:8 speaks again of this red horse in conjunction with the pale horse of Death and Hades, as the one that has the power to kill by sword. Prophecy Sign: Weapons of Mass Destruction Zechariah 14:12 “And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.”

Headline:  US surveillance shows Chinese artillery on artificial islands, officials say

U.S. surveillance images show China has positioned weaponry on at least one of the artificial islands it is developing in the South China Sea, officials say, apparently confirming suspicions that Beijing has been building up the area for military use. A U.S. official confirmed to Fox News on Friday that China has put artillery pieces on its man-made islands. The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials, first reported that images taken about a month ago showed two Chinese motorized artillery pieces on one of the artificial reefs. Although the weaponry would not pose a threat to U.S. planes or ships, it could potentially reach neighboring islands, the officials told the paper. There is no military threat,” one official told the Journal. “But it is about symbolism.” The Journal reported that in recent weeks the artillery has disappeared from view, though it was not clear how of why. U.S. officials said they believed the equipment had either been removed or purposely obscured by the Chinese. The American officials said that the artillery, is within striking range of an island claimed by Vietnam, which that country’s government has armed with various weaponry for some time.

Headline:  North Korea Upgrades Main Rocket Launch Site

Headline:  Iran, N. Korea ‘collaborate’ on nuclear arms: Iranian opposition

The nuclear-armed rogue dictator state of North Korea has significantly upgraded its main rocket launch site, according to new satellite imagery revealed by a US research institute in a report on Friday. The US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies showed how the Sohae launch site on North Korea’s western coast was expanded late last year so that it can launch larger rockets – and potentially intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Commercial satellite imagery since then reveals the regime has been working to add a support building and apparently a movable platform, which would enable a rocket to be transferred on rails to the launch pad. “The Sohae facility upgrade program represents a significant investment of financial, material and personnel resources and is another indicator, along with its public statements, that North Korea is determined to pursue its space program,” read the analysis of the institute received by the Associated Press. UN Security Council resolutions ban North Korea from launching rockets, given that the same “peaceful” space program technology is used to fire cataclysmic ballistic missiles.

The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.” ( Revelation 7: 16) “For behold, the day is coming,Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble.

Headline:  California’s largest lake is slipping away amid an epic drought

The Salton Sea is the largest lake in California, 360 square miles of unlikely liquid pooled in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. Now the sea is slipping away. The Salton Sea needs more water — but so does just about every other place in California. And what is happening here perfectly illustrates the fight over water in the West, where epic drought has revived decades-old battles and the simple solutions have all been tried. Allowing the Salton Sea to shrink unabated would be catastrophic, experts say. Dried lake bed, called playa, is lighter and flies farther than ordinary soil. Choking clouds of particulate matter driven by powerful desert winds could seed health problems for 650,000 people as far away as Los Angeles. The effects would be even worse along the lake, where communities already fail federal air-quality standards and suffer the highest asthma rates in the state. But the fate of the Salton Sea depends on a complicated series of deals that pit farms against cities, water rights against water needs, old ways of life against the new. The drought has forced a reconsideration of these agreements, with each side jealously guarding its claim to what little water is left.

Headline: Volcano erupts on southern Japanese island

A volcano erupted on a small island in southern Japan on Friday, spewing black clouds of ash and rock towering into the sky and prompting authorities to tell residents to evacuate the island. No injuries were reported after Mount Shindake erupted about 10 a.m. (0100 GMT) in spectacular fashion, sending dense pyroclastic flows of rock and hot gases seaward, the Japan Meteorological Agency reported. The agency raised the volcano alert level for Kuchinoerabu island, where Shindake is located, to five, the highest on its scale. Shindake also erupted in August last year for the first time since 1980.

Today I listened to a interview done on the Allen Colmes show between Billy Graham’s daughter evangelist Sister Anne Graham Lotz and Allen Colmes. The interview was about Anne Graham saying “‘We’re coming close to end of human history”.  Mr. Colmes asked her many questions about her beliefs and why it is  she thinks we are at the end of human history.  My heart was filled with gladness hearing her preach what is truth to Mr. Colmes.  If you are not a believer and you listened to the reasons why Anne Graham says we have reached the end as we know it, let me say this, there are a lot more to the end times signs that she did not give which show us we are at the end.  Watch the video first and then I will give you other important signs we are going to see Jesus return for all those who have put their trust in Him soon.  I am glad Anne did not give a date as no respectable Pastor or follower of Christ would come out and say on what day and hour Jesus will come from His Children.  We don’t need a date to know our time on Earth is drawing to a swift close. You will see why I said this when you see some of the other end time signs Anne Graham did not give in that interview.

  I want to give you all those specific end time signs to show you Jesus is not kidding around when He tells us to get ready to meet Him in the air! I was going to make a video giving you all these signs Anne left out but that video would take hours to make. Instead I want to ask all those who don’t know the signs to please download my prophecy book for free at the link below in red and read it. You are going to be blown away by all the information our Lord has given us concerning the end time signs. I repeat, the signs you will be reading about in my book are very specific not just general signs.  May Jesus’ Holy Spirit be with you as you read this information. If you have any questions feel free to email me at fjdimora@gmail.com.  The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth May 27, 2015 Edition written by Frank DiMora.

Beginning on page 322 of my latest book edition, I discuss new information regarding the identity of Magog and the Ezekiel 38 War- it is a must read!

I have to confess this is one time I agree with news coming from the Middle East.  I found myself laughing at the report below about Obama but the fact is it’s true what they say in the video.  In the book of Daniel God shows Daniel the world empires from Iran’s kingdom all the way to the revived Roman Empire. When you read Daniel you have to take note that there is no mention of the United States.  Now we know why. Since Obama has taken office he has weakened the U.S. like no other President and, is still tearing America apart piece by piece.  He has cut the military, fired most of the top brass in the military, and he has turned America’s back on Israel while cowing up to Iran who is still calling for the destruction of Israel and America.  Now I ask you why Daniel didn’t write anything about the nation who is suppose to be the mightiest nation in the world the good old USA?  The answer appears to be the because our leader has done so much damage that America is weakened to the point she won’t be much influence on the world stage in the last days.  You think it bad now?  Stay tuned with Obama at the helm you haven’t seen anything yet!

Headline:  IAF Strikes Terrorist Infrastructures in Gaza

IAF aircraft on Wednesday morning struck four terrorist infrastructures in southern Gaza the IDF Spokesperson said. Direct hits at the targets were identified, said the statement. The airstrike came in response to the rocket attack on southern Israel on Tuesday evening. “The IDF views the incident gravely, the Hamas terrorist organization is responsible” for any attacks on southern Israel, the statement added. Air raid sirens sounded in towns across southern Israel Tuesday evening at 9:02 p.m, as the IDF confirmed that at least one Grad rocket fired from Gaza struck near the community of Gan Yavneh, near Ashdod. Some residents of the south reported seeing Iron Dome missile defense batteries deploying to intercept at least one incoming rocket. Sirens were heard in Ashdod, Ashkelon and in numerous towns and villages in the Lachish and Hof Ashkelon regions close to Gaza. No injuries were reported. Following the attack there were reports that Hamas was evacuating its headquarters in Gaza in fear of an IDF airstrike response.

Headline: IDF Drill Prepares for Terror Surge in Judea and Samaria

The same day that Gaza terrorists fired rockets at Israel, with a Grad rocket striking near Ashdod, a wide-reaching logistical drill was held on Tuesday by the IDF’s Central Command to prepare for multiple security incidents occurring simultaneously. Lt. Col. Oren Asado, head of the Central Command’s logistic branch, spoke about the importance of the drill which was held by the Judea and Samaria division. “If in the large drill held by the IDF around two months ago the focus of the training was on mobilizing the forces and on an operational response, in the drill held yesterday, the entire logistical branch of the command was tested,” said Asdo. He explained that the drill involved “the mobility of thousands of fighters on roads which likely will be the focus of riots and breaches of public order.” Describing the challenge, he noted it involved “controlling hostile village spaces while providing a logistical response to transferring equipment, food, and water both to the population and to the fighters, all while under riots, gunfire, firebombs and more.” Both reserve forces, which are meant to provide the best and most immediate response to mass breaches of public order, as well as soldiers in mandatory and professional service took part in the drill.

Headline: Amnesty report: Hamas committed war crimes against Gaza civilians

Amnesty International said in a report on Wednesday that Gaza’s dominant Islamist Hamas committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians in the territory alleged to have collaborated with the enemy during last year’s war with Israel. A ceasefire last August ended 50 days of fighting between Gaza militants and Israel in which health officials said more than 2,100 Palestinians, mostly civilians, were killed. Israel put the number of its dead at 67 soldiers and six civilians. “Hamas forces carried out a brutal campaign of abductions, torture and unlawful killings against Palestinians accused of ‘collaborating’ with Israel and others during Israel’s military offensive against Gaza,” London-based Amnesty’s report said.
A statement by Hamas denied involvement in the actions described by Amnesty, saying that rival Gaza families had taken part in “revenge attacks”. Earlier, a Hamas spokesman criticised the report as being unfair, unprofessional and not credible.

Headline: Netanyahu calls for West Bank talks

For the first time, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called for peace negotiations over Jewish settlements in the West Bank. His focus would be on identifying which of the settlements in the Palestinian-occupied West Bank could be kept and expanded, an Israeli official said Tuesday. The settlements for Jewish residents are regarded as violations of international law by many countries. Since his re-election earlier this year Netanyahu has faced criticism from the United States and the European Union for his reluctance to renew peace talks with the Palestinians, as well as criticism for continuing to build settlements on disputed land. Arranging an understanding on the issue of settlements could maintain the pace of construction without angering Western allies or hard-liners within Netanyahu’s government. The Israeli official said Netanyahu, speaking Wednesday with EU foreign policy chief Frederica Mogherini in Jerusalem, offered to keep some West Bank territory captured in a 1967 war, and leave other parts under Palestinian control. A Western diplomat commented, “Up until now, Netanyahu has refused to put any maps on the table, so in that respect it (the offer to Mogherini) was quite substantial. He was talking about borders in one way or another, even if it was based around the acceptance of existing settlement blocs.”

Activists have organised a flotilla to Gaza in an ongoing bid to break the siege on the Strip, which will enter its ninth year next month. The Freedom Flotilla III, which will be made up of at least three ships, has planned its course to be in the Mediterranean waters in the second half of June. The Ship to Gaza organisation in Europe has teamed up with the international Freedom Flotilla and is calling for an immediate end to the naval blockade of Gaza, the opening of the Gaza Port, and for a secure passage for Palestinians between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. This is the third time a flotilla will embark on a journey to break the siege of Gaza. Around 50 people from 20 different countries will be on board the Freedom Flotilla. Meanwhile, “March For Free Quds” is going to happen in order to commemorate the 5th year of Israel’s attack on Mavi Marmara flagship of Gaza Freedom Flotilla. IHH is going to organize “March for Free Quds” on 31st May 2015 at 17.00 that will start from Fatih Mosque toward Edirnekapı Martyr’s Cemetery where those killed in Mavi Marmara are buried. Gaza Freedom Flotilla organizers and participants will voice out their message to the world in the march for free Quds where the families and loved ones, representatives from national and international NGOs as well as human rights groups, community leaders, artists, journalists, local and foreign activists, Palestinian orphans and their families as well as the friends of Palestine will be in attendance.

Lebanon

Headline:   Hezbollah strike Qalamoun jihadis with help of drone

A Hezbollah missile annihilated a group of at least three Islamist militants in Syria’s Qalamoun region along the border with Lebanon Wednesday after being spotted by a drone, Al-Manar reported. “All members of a group of Nusra takfiri [militants] were killed in an ambush by the resistance” between the outskirts of the Lebanese towns of Arsal and Nahleh on the Syrian side of the border, the Hezbollah-run channel said. It said the jihadi group was planning to carry out a “terrorist attack” from quarries south of Arsal. But the station later aired drone footage showing missiles striking a militant vehicle and operations room with pinpoint accuracy. The HiDef video showed three militants exiting a white SUV and running toward a nearby operations room. The video then cuts to show a missile striking the operations room with one militant standing just outside, and the other two believed to be inside. The blast obliterated the structure, sending its roof launching into the air. It was unclear if other militants were already in the room when it was bombed. The video also showed the group targeting a black military vehicle. The report did not say if anyone was inside the vehicle when it was targeted. After the operation, Hezbollah fighter engaged in “fierce clashes” with the jihadis and killed “all of them,” Al-Manar said, showing footage of the battle. The channel said the group belonged to Nusra’s Ghuraba Brigade, adding that a field commander was among those killed. The report comes one day after a security source revealed that six Hezbollah fighters were killed in Qalamoun as they attempted to take the Tallaja hilltop from Nusra militants earlier this week. The source said they were killed in sniper fire Monday.

Headline: Bomb blast kills senior police officer in Egypt’s Sinai, home to an Islamic State affiliate

Egypt’s Interior Ministry says a roadside bomb has killed a senior police officer in the northwestern region of the Sinai Peninsula, home of the country’s Islamic State affiliate. In a statement Wednesday, the ministry says Brig. Gen. Ahmed Ibrahim, who was deputy head of criminal investigations in Egypt’s North Sinai province, was killed on his way back from a joint police and army raid in el-Arish, the provincial capital. The ministry added that a second officer was wounded, without elaborating. The long-restive northwestern region of Sinai has seen a spike in attacks targeting security forces since the military overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013. A local Islamic militant group has pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State group’s leader, turning it into an affiliate of the group.

Syria Headline: Islamic State shoots dead 20 in Palmyra amphitheatre: monitor

Syrian regime strikes against ISIS in and around the ancient city of Palmyra have failed to halt their advance towards Damascus, a monitor said on Sunday. The intense strikes came after the fall of Palmyra, named Tadmor in Arabic, to the militants last week. But so far, the strikes had failed to halt the militants, who advanced towards the capital Damascus and overran major phosphate mines about 70 kilometers south of Palmyra. “ISIS has made further progress on the Tadmor-Damascus highway and grabbed the Khnaifess phosphate mines and nearby houses,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of sources on the group for its reports.

Syria Headline:   The Regime’s Military Capabilities

On May 24, the regime-appointed governor of Homs Province Talal Barazi claimed that regime forces are preparing for a counteroffensive targeting the strategic city of Palmyra after its fall to ISIS on May 20. However, clear indications of a military mobilization have yet to materialize and it remains unclear whether the Assad regime possesses sufficient combat reserves to significantly reverse ISIS’s recent gains. Regime forces are spread thin throughout the country, forcing Assad to rely upon a small number of trusted elite units and deployable paramilitary fighters – the same composition of forces allegedly participating in the operation to retake Palmyra – to react to emergent threats. The Assad regime suffers from several limitations which have had a severe impact upon its military strategy. Regime forces operated under shortages of quality manpower due to desertion, defection, and combat attrition. Consequently, the Assad regime relied upon a constellation of regular and irregular forces throughout 2014 in order to prosecute its offensive campaign and defend its core interests against the Syrian opposition and other threats, including ISIS.

Syria Headline:    Assad pulls air force out of Deir ez-Zour, the third Syrian air base surrendered to ISIS

Just a week after losing the big Palmyra air base to the Islamic State – and with it large stocks of ammo and military equipment – Syrian military and air units Wednesday, May 27, began pulling out of the big air base at Deir ez-Zour. This was Bashar Assad’s last military stronghold in eastern Syria and the last air facility for enabling fighter-bombers to strike ISIS forces in northeastern Syria and the western Iraqi province of Anbar. His surrender of the Deir ez-Zour base is evidence that the Syrian president has run out of fighting strength for defending both his front lines and his air bases. He is also too tied down to be able to transfer reinforcements from front to front. He is therefore pulling in the remnants of his army from across the country for the defense of the capital, Damascus. debkafile’s military sources report that the Islamic State now has in its sights the Syrian army’s biggest air facility, T4 Airbase, which is located on the fast highway linking Homs with Damascus 140 km away. It is home base for the bulk of the air force’s fighters and bombers. In its hangars are an estimated 32 MiG-25 fighters, as well as smaller numbers of MiG-25PDS interceptors, designed for combat with the Israeli air force, MiG-25RBT bombers-cum-surveillance planes; MiG-25PU trainers, which are routinely used to strike rebel forces in crowded built-up areas, and advanced MiG-29SM fighter jets. Stationed there too are 20 advanced Su-24M2 bombers, the strategic backbone of the Syrian air force. T4 Airbase also holds the largest Syrian stocks of guided bombs, air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. In the last few hours, air crews have been frantically removing these warplanes from T4 and distributing them among smaller bases in central Syria, at the cost of their operational effectiveness.

Iraq Headline: Fighting, airstrikes reported near Ramadi as Iraq launches operation to retake city

A major military operation in Iraq to retake the Islamic State-held city of Ramadi was under way Tuesday, as fighting and airstrikes were reported west and south of the city. “Shaping” operations ahead of the counteroffensive began Tuesday, in the form of air strikes, artillery and rocket barrages to rush ISIS out of Ramadi, the Pentagon confirmed. Pentagon Spokesman Col. Steve Warren said they welcomed the news of the counteroffensive. A spokesman for Iraq’s Shiite militias said Tuesday the operation would “not last for a long time” and that Iraqi forces have surrounded Ramadi from three sides, according to The Associated Press. The Pentagon could not confirm reports that Iraqi security forces had surrounded Ramadi. Warren said Iraqi security forces and Shia militias have staged 20 miles east of Ramadi in the town of Habbaniyah.

Iraq Headline: Islamic State launches wave of suicide attacks on Iraqi troops

Islamic State jihadists have unleashed a wave of suicide attacks targeting pro-government troops in western Anbar, a day after Baghdad launched a new offensive to drive them from the province. Up to 17 soldiers were killed in the explosions that took place outside of Fallujah, a town controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant inside the Sunni heartland Anbar. Brigadier General Saad Maan Ibrahim, the spokesman for the Joint Military Command said on Wednesday that the militants had struck near a water control station and a lock system on a canal between Lake Tharthar and the Euphrates River. The troops had been deployed there as part of a new push to try to take Anbar, after the Iraqi army suffered its biggest military defeat there this year in the loss of Ramadi city earlier this month. Brig Gen Ibrahim added that the Islamic State extremists used a sandstorm that engulfed most of Iraq on Tuesday night to launch the deadly wave of bombings. He said it was not clear how many suicide attackers were involved in the bombings but they hit the military from multiple directions. The attacks took place just hours after the ministry of defence announced the new mission.

Headline: ISIS Shows Off A New Potential Source Of Funding

ISIS is touting its newfound control of giant phosphate mines in Syria as the latest multi-million dollar funding source for its activities around the world. The Khnaifess mines, which sit along the main highway between Damascus and Palymra, the ancient city overrun by ISIS last week, are the second largest phosphate mines in the country. Syria has some of the largest reserves in the world, in normal times they produced around $60 million in revenue a year. The Damascus propaganda branch of the Islamic State has published a series of photos of the phosphate mines as the latest example of its growing power. It is unclear if ISIS has the required logistics and expertise to operate the mines, let alone export the phosphate, given that a significant percentage of Syria’s phosphates is bought by the EU. Syria is among the world’s largest exporters of the rock, but the war has marred its ability to mine and market its supply. ISIS has sold oil and antiquities on the black market and relies on those sales, along with protection money and local taxes to fund its system. ISIS has in the past advertized for engineers to come work on the refineries it has captured, in some cases offering salaries starting at $200,000.

A recent survey conducted in Turkey revealed that Turks believe Israel and the U.S. pose the biggest threats to their country, Turkish publication Today’s Zaman reported on Wednesday. İstanbul’s Kadir Has University polled 1,000 people in April across Turkish cities. When asked which country they see as the biggest threat to Turkey, 42.6 percent of respondents said Israel while 35.3 percent said the U.S. The same countries received 37.1 and 41.7 disapproval rates, respectively, during the same survey in 2013. Following Israel and the U.S. was Syria with 22.1 percent and Armenia with 20.3 percent. Although Turkey is a candidate for membership to the European Union, 10.2 percent of respondents said EU countries are a threat to Turkey, Today’s Zaman reported. which was slightly less than 12.8 percent in 2013. When respondents were asked whether they want Turkey to become an EU member, 42.4 percent said yes and over 20 percent were undecided, a decline from the 47.5 percent who supported EU membership in the 2013.

Headline:  France warns Iran over nuclear deal as deadline nears

France warned on Wednesday it was ready to block a final deal between Iran and the six major powers on Iran’s nuclear program unless Tehran provided inspectors access to all installations, including military sites. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, last week ruled out international inspection of Iran’s military sites or access to nuclear scientists under any agreement. Iran’s military leaders echoed his remarks. “France will not accept (a deal) if it is not clear that inspections can be done at all Iranian installations, including military sites,” French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told lawmakers in Paris. As talks resumed in Vienna on Wednesday to bridge gaps in negotiating positions before a June 30 deadline, the United States said it was not considering an extension, despite comments from France and Iran indicating wiggle room. “We’re not contemplating any extension beyond June 30,” State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke told reporters in Washington, saying the United States believed it was possible to meet the self-imposed deadline.

Four Taliban insurgents armed with assault rifles and a grenade launcher stormed a guesthouse in the diplomatic quarter of the Afghan capital overnight and held out for hours until they were killed by government forces early on Wednesday, officials said. No casualties other than the attackers were reported, Afghanistan’s deputy interior minister General Ayoub Salangi said. Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi said the guesthouse was owned by a prominent Afghan political family that includes Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani. The Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack after it ended and said numerous “invaders” had been killed, although it often makes exaggerated claims about casualties in attacks against Afghan government and foreign targets.

Gunmen tried to assassinate Libya’s internationally recognized prime minister on his way to the airport in the eastern city of Tobruk on Tuesday, a spokesman for his government said. Arish Said, head of the government’s media department, said that Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni’s motorcade was attacked and one of his guards was lightly wounded but that there were no fatalities. “They managed to escape,” Said said. Prior to the attack, he said armed men who had been protesting outside a session of the Tobruk government’s House of Representatives tried to storm the building, firing shots into the air and demanding al-Thinni be removed from office. They were “threatening to kill the prime minister and force the House to sack him,” Said said. He identified the men as being funded by “corrupted political financiers” linked to powerful Tobruk tribal leaders, without elaborating.

Headline: Al Shabaab militants injure 5 Kenyan police officers in attack

Al Shabaab gunmen attacked Kenyan police vehicles near Somalia’s border, injuring at least five officers and burning five cars, police said on Tuesday. Two officers were critically injured and three others sustained minor injuries in the attack in Garissa County, national Police Chief J.K. Boinnet said in a statement. Garissa police commander Shadrack Maithya said at least 13 police officers who went missing during the attack have been accounted for. Two of the attackers were killed, he said. The interior ministry said no police officials were killed, dismissing earlier accounts by two officials that several missing colleagues were believed to have been killed. Kenya’s Daily Nation newspaper reported that at least 20 police officers were feared dead. Police later said that in the confusion of the attacks that the worst was feared. The injured officers were part of team of more than 20 officers traveling in three pick-up trucks to recover a firearm lost by one officer whose car had hit a land mine. Boinnet said there was a heavy exchange of gunfire with the Islamic militants. Al Shabaab, a Somali extremist group with links to Al Qaeda, said on its radio station that it carried out the attack.

Headline: Russia masses heavy firepower on border with Ukraine – witness

Headline: Ukraine Crisis Update: Institute for the Study of War

Russia’s army is massing troops and hundreds of pieces of weaponry including mobile rocket launchers, tanks and artillery at a makeshift base near the border with Ukraine, a Reuters reporter saw this week. Many of the vehicles have number plates and identifying marks removed while many of the servicemen had taken insignia off their fatigues. As such, they match the appearance of some of the forces spotted in eastern Ukraine, which Kiev and its Western allies allege are covert Russian detachments. The scene at the base on the Kuzminsky firing range, around 50 km (30 miles) from the border, offers some of the clearest evidence to date of what appeared to be a concerted Russian military build-up in the area. Earlier this month, NATO military commander General Philip Breedlove said he believed the separatists were taking advantage of a ceasefire that came into force in February to re-arm and prepare for a new offensive. However, he gave no specifics. Russia denies that its military is involved in the conflict in Ukraine’s east, where Moscow-backed separatists have been fighting forces loyal to the pro-Western government in Kiev.

Headline: Report: Iran Summons Saudi Envoy Over Yemen Strike

Headline: The ISIS Regional Strategy for Yemen and Saudi Arabia

Iran’s semi-official ISNA news agency says the Foreign Ministry has summoned Saudi Arabia’s envoy over an airstrike near Tehran’s embassy in Yemen. It says Iran warned the Saudi charge d’affaires late Monday against any violations of the diplomatic immunity of embassy staff and facilities. Meanwhile, The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham conducted two major bombings on Shia mosques in the Arabian Peninsula today through its affiliates in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. ISIS Claimed responsibility for an IED explosion that injured at least 13 Shia worshippers during Friday prayers in the al Sayyah Mosque in Sana’a, Yemen. ISIS also claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing on the Shia Imam Ali mosque in al-Qadeeh in the Shi’a Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. This latter attack killed at least 20 individuals and wounding dozens more. In statements circulated by ISIS’s supporters on Twitter after the attacks, ISIS reportedly asserted that it would “expel all the unbelievers from the Arabian Peninsula.” ISIS’s threat to Saudi Arabia is not new. ISIS declared its intent to attack both Saudi Arabia and Yemen in late 2014. Over the course of this year, I SIS has escalated its activities in both countries in order to increase regional disorder and undermine the Saudi-led Arab coalition. Today’s two attacks were possibly coordinated, reflecting an acceleration in an ongoing campaign by ISIS to destabilize Saudi Arabia and gain power in Yemen.

Headline: Yemen Fighters Loyal to Government Take Dhale

Fighters backing Yemen’s exiled government captured a city on the road to the port city of Aden, officials said Tuesday, their first significant victory since a Saudi-led coalition began targeting Shiite rebels in airstrikes. The fighters took Dhale, a significant gain as the city is home to the command center of the 33rd Armored Brigade, the country’s largest army unit that had been loyal to former Yemeni leader Ali Abdullah Saleh. Saleh has backed the Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, in their campaign across Yemen that began in September. Government-allied fighters seized tanks, rocket launchers and ammunition caches from the base at Dhale, some 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Aden, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to journalists. Footage from Dhale aired on the Saudi-funded Al-Arabiya satellite news network showed fighters in one armored vehicle flying the flag of once-independent South Yemen.

Headline: Arab forces strike Houthi-held Yemen military port Arab warplanes and ships bombed Yemen’s largest military port in the Red Sea city of Hodaida on Wednesday, a local official said, in the most serious attack on the country’s navy in over two months of war. The city and its military bases are aligned with the Iran-allied Houthi militia, Yemen’s dominant force, which a Saudi-led coalition has bombed since March 26 to try to reverse an expansion of Houthi power across the country in recent months. “The naval base was bombed by aircraft and ships. Large parts of it were destroyed and two warships were hit, and one of them, named Bilqis, was destroyed and sank onto its side, and five gunboats shelled the administrative buildings of the base,” the official told Reuters by telephone from the city. Residents of the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa reported air strikes on military camps loyal to the group on Wednesday. Houthi forces shelled the southern city of Aden, a bastion of resistance against their advances into Yemen’s south, and local fighters built on gains against the Houthis in recent days by seizing their last military post in the nearby city of Dalea.

China’s Prime Minister Li Keqiang and Chilean President Michelle Bachelet signed a currency swap deal on Monday seeking to deepen economic ties by boosting trade and investment. The currency swap agreement between Chile’s central bank and the People’s Bank of China eases the exchange of up to 2.2 trillion pesos (about $3.6 billion) for the next three years. China has signed currency swap deals with several countries and has worked with financial centers to develop international hubs for offshore trading of the currency. “We want to strengthen our financial cooperation with Chile during this visit, and we have both signed this swap deal,” the Chinese premier said during his visit to Chile, the last stop in his four-nation tour of South America, which also included Brazil, Colombia and Peru. “I hope the Chinese-Chilean cooperation can allow for services and guarantees that can firmly support our cooperation with all of Latin America.

Headline: HSBC fears world recession with no lifeboats left

The world is sinking under too much debt and an ageing global population means countries’ debt piles are in danger of growing out of control, the European chief executive of Goldman Sachs Asset Management has warned. Andrew Wilson, head of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), said growing debt piles around the world posed one of the biggest threats to the global economy. “There is too much debt and this represents a risk to economies. Consequently, there is a clear need to generate growth to work that debt off but, as demographics change, new ways of thinking at a policy level are required to do this,” he said. “The demographics in most major economies – including the US, in Europe and Japan – are a major issue – and present us with the question of how we are going to pay down the huge debt burden. With life expectancy increasing rapidly, we no longer have the young, working populations required to sustain a debt-driven economic model in the same way as we’ve managed to do in the past.”

Headline: Chinese navy to focus on ‘open seas’, paper says

Japan will join a major U.S.-Australian military exercise for the first time in a sign of growing security links between the three countries as tensions fester over China’s island building in the South China Sea. While only 40 Japanese officers and soldiers will take part in drills involving 30,000 U.S. and Australian troops in early July, experts said the move showed how Washington wanted to foster cooperation among its security allies in Asia. The Talisman Sabre biennial exercises, to be held in locations around Australia, will encompass maritime operations, amphibious landings, special forces tactics and urban warfare. “I think the U.S. is trying to get its allies to do more,” said Euan Graham, director of the International Security Program at the Lowy Institute in Sydney. “There is an obvious symmetry between Japan as the upper anchor of the Western Pacific alliance and … Australia as the southern anchor.” All three nations have said they were concerned about freedom of movement through the seas and air in the disputed South China Sea, where China is creating seven artificial islands in the Spratly archipelago, a vital shipping corridor. Meanwhile, China is to focus on projecting its military presence beyond its borders at sea, according to a strategy document. The navy will shift its focus to “open seas protection”, rather than “offshore waters defence” alone.

Two Christian pastors from South Sudan who traveled north to Sudan and were arrested on charges of spying could face the death penalty when their trial begins next week, according to their attorneys. Yat Michael Ruot and Peter Yein Reith, both Presbyterian pastors from the breakaway Christian nation of South Sudan, are being held by Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Services on charges of undermining the constitution and espionage. Their supporters say their arrest and pending trial is just the latest effort by the militant Islamist government in Khartoum to stamp out Christianity. “I’m fearful that they will execute these pastors for practicing their faith,” said David Curry, CEO of Open Doors USA, a group dedicated to advocating for the victims of Christian persecution. The pair also was charged with “inciting organized groups” and “offending Islamic beliefs,” which call for imprisonment. The trial was set to begin Tuesday, but was postponed to May 31.

She was found guilty of failing to go to her appointed place of duty, disrespect toward a superior commissioned officer, and four specifications of disobeying the lawful order of a noncommissioned officer. Both lower court and the appellate court ruled that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act did not apply to her case because displaying a Bible verse does not constitute religious exercise.

The island holds the world’s only population of pink iguanas but authorities say that they are not in immediate danger. The Galapagos National park said that the lava was flowing in a south-westerly direction. The volcano lies on the northern tip of Isabela Island, the archipelago’s largest. It is 115km (70 miles) from Puerto Villamil, the only population centre on the island. “The eruption generated a very large column of smoke that rose more than 10km (six miles) into the air, and later drifted toward the south-west part of the volcano,” Sandro Vaca of Ecuador’s Geophysics Institute told the AFP news agency.

Headline:   Hamas Declares Jerusalem ‘Eternal Capital’ of Islamic World

Hamas has declared that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Islamic world,” the Saudi Arabia-backed Al-Resalah reported. The terrorist organization that rules Gaza and has cells in Judea and Samaria “warned of the repercussions of Israeli decisions to transfer government ministers to Occupied Jerusalem, dubbing the move a flagrant violation of international resolutions,” according to the website. Hamas official, Ezzet Resheq wrote: Jerusalem will remain as intrinsically Palestinian and indivisible as it has always been. It will oust all Judaization schemes. Hamas has decided to convince its followers that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s recent appointment of government ministers is some kind of unprecedented move, as if the Jews all of a sudden have woken up.

Headline:  The battle for Qalamoun- a Timeline

Hezbollah fighters captured more territory in Syria’s Qalamoun mountains Monday, three weeks into an offensive to oust jihadis from the rugged border region, Al-Manar said. The report said Hezbollah fighters captured several highlands northeast of the outskirts of Nahleh along Lebanon’s eastern mountain range shortly before midday. The Hezbollah-run Al-Manar said the advancing fighters destroyed a military vehicle belonging to Nusra Front jihadis, “killing and wounding several militants.” Hezbollah chief Hasan Nasrallah vowed in a speech Sunday night that the Qalamoun offensive would push on until Lebanon’s border is secure. Three Hezbollah fighters were killed fighting in Qalamoun last week, bringing the party’s death toll since the launch of the Qalamoun offensive to at least 16, according to a security source. Meanwhile, clashes broke out between Nusra and ISIS fighters on the outskirts of Arsal, on Lebanon’s northeast border, a rebel source said. The source said the fighting was sparked after ISIS kidnapped Syrian national Ahmad Saifeddine, a Nusra militant.

Headline:  Egypt says it has discovered 521 tunnels into Gaza Strip

The Egyptian army says it has destroyed the openings of more than 500 underground tunnels during a six-month military operation on its eastern borders with the Gaza Strip. The spokesperson for Egypt’s army spoke to the state-owned daily al-Ahram in an interview published on Monday, saying that the military has discovered the openings of 521 underground tunnels connecting Egypt with the Gaza Strip. Egypt’s armed forces began a large-scale military crackdown in the restive eastern province of North Sinai last October when a huge and highly co-ordinated militant attack killed more than 30 soldiers. Egypt’s military spokesperson, General Mohammed Samir, said tunnels had been discovered with openings up to 2.8 kilometres from the border. Samir also said authorities had confiscated 6,097 weapons, as well as 2,350 kilogrammes of high explosives. With chaos reigning in Sinai, and reports that locals accused of “collaborating” with the government are frequently executed by powerful militia groups, Egypt’s President Sisi has vowed to do more to stamp out militancy in the area. In the third of a series of monthly televised speeches on 12 May, Sisi promised that the fight against militancy in Sinai will be “comprehensive,” and will extend beyond the current military campaign.

Syria Headline:  Blast in Syria pro-government bastion Latakia kills 4

At least four people were killed in a blast in the Syrian government stronghold of Latakia on Monday, but there were conflicting reports about what caused the explosion. It comes amid heightened fears of attacks in the coastal region after a rebel alliance that includes the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front last month seized Jisr al-Shughur in neighboring Idlib province. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and sources on the ground both reported the blast in the city of Latakia in the coastal province of the same name. An AFP correspondent in the city saw flames and a column of smoke rising after hearing what appeared to be an explosion in the Mar Taqla neighborhood. At the scene of the blast, residents said those killed were a father and his son and daughter, along with their female neighbor. The explosion set fire to the family’s apartment and partially collapsed the building’s roof. The Britain-based Observatory also reported that the blast had killed four people, among them two children. But there were differing accounts of what caused with the blast, with officials in the city refusing to comment and residents saying the cause was unclear. The Observatory said the blast was the result of a drone that crashed into the city after being hit by a rocket fired from a ship offshore in the Mediterranean.

On Sunday, the pro-Syrian regime helicopters dropped several barrel bombs on the city of Deir ez-Zor, northeastern Syria, resulted in the death of at least 30 civilians, including women and children, local sources reported. In the meantime, the radial group of the Islamic State (IS/ISIL) executed 27 civilians in the province. The victims were beheaded on charges of apostasy and leaking confidential information about the group to the regime. Activists told ARA News that the province witnessed a campaign of executions for three consecutive days in the Kharita town and the villages of al-Masrab, Hawyej Shamiya, and Muhamida in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor. The village of Hatla and the town of Khasham in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor have also seen the beheading of at least 6 civilians by the radical group on Sunday.

Iraq Headline: Iraqi Parliament Speaker: Mosul Operation Will Be Coordinated with Turkey

Iraqi Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jabouri has said that it’s important for the Iraqi government to have strong coordination with Turkey for any Mosul operation to free the city from Islamic State (IS). In a meeting in Iraqi capital Baghdad on Monday, al-Jabouri held talks with Turkish Ambassador to Iraq Faruk Kaymakçı. The Iraqi Parliament Speaker asked for Turkish military support and training for the Iraqi army. Al-Jabouri said that Iraqi soldiers are preparing for the expected Mosul operation. The second largest city in Iraq, Mosul has been under the control of IS militants since June last year. “The Iraqi forces and volunteer groups are ready for the operation, but they need more help, especially from a neighboring country like Turkey,” added al-Jabouri.

Kurdish  Headline: Kurdish rebels attack Turkish base

Turkey’s military says suspected Kurdish militants have fired two mortar rounds at a military base in the country’s southeast region, prompting the military to fire back in retaliation. A statement posted Monday on the military’s website says no one was injured in Sunday’s attack on the base in Hakkari province, close to Turkey’s borders with Iraq and Iran. The exchange of fire comes despite a peace process between Turkey and the rebel group, PKK, aimed at ending a conflict which has killed tens of thousands of people since 1984. Turkey’s president and prime minister are scheduled to inaugurate a new airport in Hakkari on Tuesday.

Headline: Former UK Army Chief Calls for Ground Invasion Against ISIS

Headline:  No army in Mid East is challenging ISIS

Headline:  SHOCK POLL: 81% Of Al Jazeera Arabic Poll Respondents Support Islamic State

Former UK Chief of Staff Lord Dannatt has called for a ground invasion against Islamic State (ISIS) on Monday, claiming that the cultural and security impact of the group calls for an international armed effort to expand beyond the current airstrike campaign. “The capture and likely destruction of the 2,000-year-old Roman colonnades at Palmyra, Syria, by Islamic State constitutes a potential cultural crime on a gigantic scale,” Dannatt wrote in the Daily Mail. “These majestic ruins represent thousands of years of human civilisation and there is now surely no doubting just how great a threat IS [ISIS – ed.] poses to civilization in the region and beyond.” Dannatt continues that ISIS could spread across Europe and the Middle East, returning to the “height of Islam” and Islamic conquest in Medieval times – and further. “Although the United States might think it enjoys the security of the Atlantic between itself and where ISIS wants to expand, it cannot forget the domestic terrorist threat,” he stated. “In light of this terrifying scenario, how much longer can Britain and the US continue to show such a lack of commitment to defeating ISIS militarily?” Dannatt insists that the airstrike campaign, codenamed Operation Inherent Resolve, has failed so far to prevent ISIS spreading. He proposes an international fighting force of about 5,000 soldiers, and notes that ISIS – unlike the Taliban or other “insurgents,” as he calls them – is using “conventional” military tactics not unlike a regular Army. The force would include “a fully fledged brigade with infantry troops, attack helicopters, artillery, mortars, reconnaissance and surveillance assets,” he adds, noting that a UN Security Council resolution would be necessary to facilitate such a move.

Headline:    Turkey and US ‘agree in principle’ to provide air support for Syrian rebels

Turkey and the US have agreed in “principle” to provide air protection to Syrian rebels being trained and equipped to fight Islamic State militants, once they enter Syrian territory for battle, Turkey’s foreign minister said. The two countries agreed in February to train and equip up to 15,000 Syrians under the $500m US programme designed to add a credible ground force to an air bombing campaign against the militant group. The program suffered unexplained delays as the US resisted Turkish calls for the force to be also prepared to fight the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad, and the sides tried to reach agreement on who to train. The US has also refused a Turkish proposal for enforcing a safe area and a no-fly zone in Syria, prompting questions on how trained rebels would be protected when they entered the country. “They have to be supported via air,” Mevlut Cavusoglu, the Turkish foreign minister told the pro-government Daily Sabah newspaper in comments published on Monday. “If you do not protect them or provide air support, what is the point?”

Iran

Headline:  Iranian General Suleimani Blames US For Fall of Ramadi

The US has done “nothing” to help Iraq`s army battle Islamic State (IS) militants in Ramadi, according to a senior Iranian general involved in the fight against the jihadist group. Qassem Suleimani, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards` commander of foreign operations, hit out at Washington after Pentagon chief Ashton Carter said Iraqi forces “failed to fight” in Ramadi, which has fallen to IS. “Mr. (Barack) Obama, what is the distance between Ramadi and Al-Asad base where US planes are based?” Suleimani said in a speech late Sunday in the southern province of Kerman carried by state news agency IRNA. How can you be in that country under the pretext of protecting the Iraqis and do nothing? This is no more than being an accomplice in a plot,” said Suleimani. According to media reports, Iran has military advisers in Iraq and Syria and provides financial and military support to the governments of both countries in their battle against Sunni extremists. Iranian media says Suleimani has been active in Iraq, particularly at the end of March when Iran-backed Shi’ite militias helped to recapture the city of Tikrit. In his remarks on Sunday, Carter said that the US-led air campaign against IS, which controls large swathes of Iraq and Syria, was still working. He said Iraqi forces had “showed no will to fight” even though they outnumbered their opponents, leading to Baghdad`s worst defeat in almost a year. But Suleimani argued that the US had “no will to fight Daesh,” using an Arabic acronym for IS. He said the jihadists, who control several oil zones in Iraq and Syria, “export their oil via countries belonging to the international coalition” led by Washington.

Taliban insurgents attacked police checkpoints Sunday in volatile southern Afghanistan, killing at least 10 officers in the ongoing assault, authorities said. Mohammad Ismail Hotaki, the director of Helmand province’s Joint Coordination Office, said that Taliban fighters attacked 10 police checkpoints in the province’s Sangin district. Hotaki said Taliban fighters captured three checkpoints and continued to surge forward in their assault. Hotaki said the violence killed at least 10 officers and wounded 16. Later, Sangin’s deputy police chief, Haji Bari, said authorities recovered the corpses of at least 13 slain police officers, while 15 had been wounded. Such contradictory casualty figures are common amid an ongoing attack. “We are in control of 80 percent of the checkpoints and are currently fighting with Taliban at two checkpoints,” Bari said. “The Taliban numbers are high and they are attacking with full force. This level of force shows they are in a strong position to fight back.”

Headline:     Sudanese Government Denies Supporting Rebels in South Sudan

The Sudanese government denied on Monday it was supporting rebels in South Sudan after it accused Khartoum of supplying arms to the insurgents threatening its oil fields. Sudanese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ali al-Sadiq told the official SUNA news agency that his country has “no interest in such an intervention.” He said instability in South Sudan would send more refugees into Sudan and create of hotspots along its border. South Sudan military officials have alleged that Khartoum provides weapons and ammunition to a defected army leader in its Upper Nile state. Rebels are threatening South Sudan’s remaining functional oil fields. South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in 2011 after the region was engulfed in years of bloody civil war with Sudanese government troops. Also Monday, the country’s journalists’ union said that authorities had confiscated at least 14 newspapers without giving any notice or justification. In a statement protesting the move against press freedom, it said that four of the papers were ordered shut down entirely. A similar incident occurred last February, when 14 daily newspapers were confiscated in a single day. The union said it would be following the case and urging authorities to rescind the order.

Libya

Headline: Libyan government warplanes attack ship near port: officials

Warplanes from Libya’s official government attacked an oil tanker docked outside the city of Sirte on Sunday, wounding three people and setting the ship on fire, officials said. It was the third confirmed strike by the internationally recognized government on oil tankers, part of a conflict between competing administrations and parliaments allied to armed factions fighting for control of the country four years after the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi. The recognized premier Abdullah al-Thinni has been working out of the east since losing the capital Tripoli in August last year to a rival faction. Both sides have been attacking each other with warplanes and thanks to loose alliances with former anti-Gaddafi rebels have also been fighting on several fronts on the land. “Our jets warned an unflagged ship off Sirte city, but it ignored the warning,” the eastern air force commander Saqer al-Joroushi told Reuters. “We gave it a chance to evaluate the situation, then our fighting jets attacked the ship because it was unloading fighters and weapons,” he added. “The ship now is on fire. We are in war and we do not accept any security breaches, whether by land, air or sea,” Jourushi added.

Police in riot gear made 71 arrests Saturday as protesters stormed the streets of Cleveland after a judge found a white city police officer not guilty in the deaths of two unarmed black suspects killed in a barrage of police gunfire. The protesters gathered in downtown Cleveland and west side neighborhoods after the acquittal of patrolmen Michael Brelo. In a news conference Sunday morning, Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said people were arrested after a day of mostly peaceful protests turned more aggressive. Officials said some protesters became violent and turned on bystanders, including some who pepper-sprayed patrons sitting at outdoor cafes downtown. Williams said that another protester threw a restaurant sign at a patron, striking him in the head. He says bystanders were also accosted in at least one other instance.

Headline:  Boko Haram hacks to death 10 in Nigeria

Boko Haram fighters have hacked to death 10 people in a remote village in northeastern Nigeria. The attack happened in the early hours of Friday as residents were sleeping, officials say. Local government chairman Maina Ularumu said the rebels used machetes. News of the attack only emerged on Monday because of the remote location of the village in northern Adamawa state, and communications difficulties. The attack is the latest by Boko Haram in the region, which was declared “clear” of insurgents in March by the military. A number of villages in the area have been hit as troops try to flush out militants from their Sambisa Forest stronghold, just across the border in neighbouring Borno state. Soldiers have in recent weeks rescued hundreds of women and children from the forest after they were kidnapped during raids. On Sunday, 31 people – most children under 12 – who were freed last week were brought to the Malkohi camp outside the northeastern city of Yola, relief officials said. On Monday, defence spokesman Chris Olukolade said troops had thwarted an attack on Mafa, 50 kilometres east of the Borno state capital, Maiduguri. About 30 Boko Haram fighters were killed and “many others” wounded, he added.

Police and anti-government protesters clashed again Monday in Burundi as the United States and United Nations urged all parties to get back to peace talks. The opposition quit the talks after the leader of the UPD party, Zedi Feruzi, and his bodyguard were killed in a shooting in Bujumbura on Saturday. The United States condemned the killings and urged Burundian authorities to arrest the perpetrators and protect other politicians. At least one demonstrator in the capital, Bujumbura, was wounded Monday when police opened fire. The French news agency reports police also shot dead a protester in the town of Muyange, 60 kilometers to the south. The Burundi crisis began last month when President Pierre Nkurunziza announced he will run for a controversial third term. The United States has also called for authorities to lift a ban on further protests, allow independent radio stations to resume broadcasting and stop using the term “insurgents” to refer to peaceful protesters. An opposition leader, Frederick Bamvuginyumvira, said Sunday that his party can no longer hold talks with the government.

Headline: Yemeni Politicians Say UN Peace Talks Indefinitely Postponed

A United Nations-sponsored Yemeni peace conference that was to start Thursday in Geneva has been indefinitely postponed, officials said, as battles raged across the country. The talks were meant to end weeks of heavy fighting and Saudi-led airstrikes against an Iran-backed rebel group amid a humanitarian crisis that has left millions in the Arab world’s poorest country short of food and fuel. Three officials from the Houthi, socialist and unionist parties said late Sunday they were notified the talks had been postponed and that no new date had been set. All the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists. A U.N. official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and therefore also spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the talks would be postponed. The setback came as Saudi-led warplanes on Monday pounded Shiite Houthi rebel positions in the capital and across the country. Heavy fighting continued in the city of Dhale, where witnesses and military officials said that fighters loyal to the exiled president managed to seize several military sites from the rebels, surrounding them in some areas and demanding they surrender. The officials, along with hospital workers, said that dozens were killed and some 70 were wounded. In the city of Taiz, the officials said 13 civilians died and some 200 others were wounded after a truck carrying oil was hit by crossfire and caused a raging fire. They added that in the capital, Sanaa, warplanes from the Saudi-led coalition struck a house owned by Ahmed Saleh, son of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, who is allied with the Houthi rebels, leaving it destroyed and in flames. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief journalists.

Headline:  Greece to miss IMF payments amid fears of ‘catastrophic’ eurozone rupture

Greece will be unable to find the €1.6bn (£1.1bn) sum it is due to hand the International Monetary Fund (IMF) next month, one of the country’s ministers has admitted. Nikos Voutsis, the Greek minister of the interior, said that “this money will not be given and is not there to be given”, speaking on Mega TV. The Greek state is due to hand over the money in four installments in June, as part of its obligations for its 2011 bail-out. Mr Voutsis’ comments came as Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek finance minister, told The Andrew Marr Show that if progress was not made, it would be the beginning of the end for the euro project. The finance minister said that the Syriza-led Greek government has now “made enormous strides at reaching a deal”, and that it is now up to the ECB, IMF and EU “to do their bit” and “meet us one-quarter of the way”. One possible alternative if talks do not progress is that Greece would leave the common currency and return to the drachma. This would be “catastrophic”, Mr Varoufakis warned, and not just for Greece itself. “It would be a disaster for everyone involved, it would be a disaster primarily for the Greek social economy, but it would also be the beginning of the end for the common currency project in Europe,” he said.

He suffered sun stroke while going to work yesterday morning. His condition became serious. People said that the temperature touched 45 degree Celsius yesterday. It was extremely hot. I have never experienced such intense heat in Vizag before. The government needs to take precautions to help people in this situation,” caretaker Rajesh said. Meanwhile, Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) officials in Hyderabad said that despite some rain predicted, the acute heat could continue for the next two weeks.

Headline: Twister kills 10 in Mexico; 12 missing in Central Texas flooding

A tornado ripped through a city on the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday, killing at least 10 people as first responders in Central Texas searched for a dozen people believed to be missing after the vacation home they were staying in was swept away in torrential flooding. The Texas cities of San Marcos and Wimberley suffered extensive damage as severe storms displaced more than 2,000 residents throughout the state, leaving 12 missing in Hays County. The search for the missing came as the Mexican city of Ciudad Acuna was devastated by a twister at daybreak Monday. Officials in Mexico said at least 10 were killed in the tornado, the Associated Press reported. The city, population 100,000, is across the border from Del Rio, Texas. The grim toll comes as a line of storms this weekend have wreaked havoc from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes.

Headline:  New Zealand hit by biggest storm on Earth

A storm blasting Antarctic weather over New Zealand is currently the biggest storm on earth according to WeatherWatch. The low stretches from just south of Fiji to Antarctica’s ice shelf, but only 20 per cent of the storm is affecting New Zealand. WeatherWatch.co.nz said the forecast air pressure at its centre over the next 24 hours would be greater than that of Hurricane Katrina when it made landfall in 2005. “The depth of this storm south of New Zealand is up there with some of the biggest hurricanes we’ve seen. It’s a really big storm.” However, WeatherWatch.co.nz said only the storm’s edges were affecting New Zealand – its centre lay around 1000 to 1500kms to our south east. Southland, Otago and Banks Peninsula woke this morning to the heaviest dumping of snow so far this year. Overnight, areas of Central Otago and Southland saw up to 30 cm of snow, according to Metservice.

Headline:  Iran: If Israel attacks, Hezbollah will ‘destroy Tel Aviv’

A senior Iranian military official warned on Thursday that any Israeli attack would unleash a firestorm of missiles on its cities fired by the Islamic Republic’s Hezbollah allies in Lebanon. The Shiite militia has more than 80,000 rockets ready to fire at Tel Aviv and Haifa, said General Yahya Rahim Safavi, military adviser to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “Iran, with the help of Hezbollah and its friends, is capable of destroying Tel Aviv and Haifa in case of military aggression on the part of the Zionists,” he said, quoted on state television. “I don’t think the Zionists would be so unintelligent as to create a military problem with Iran,” the general said. “They know the strength of Iran and Hezbollah.”

Headline: Palestinians have right to freedom, Obama says at DC synagogue

President Barack Obama on Friday called for the establishment of a free Palestinian state alongside Israel, saying it was necessary for the preservation of Israeli democracy, security and integral to Jewish values. Wearing a white kippah, Obama spoke to a crowd of about 1,000 at Washington DC’s Adas Israel Congregation, one of the largest in the capital, marking Jewish American History Month. He touted his pro-Israel policies and sported his close ties with Jewish advisors, wishing the audience a “slightly early Shabbat Shalom” and peppering his speech with Hebrew terms such as “tikkun olam” — repairing the world. He said his personal philosophy was inspired by Jewish values and the Israeli pioneer spirit, and “forcefully” objected to claims that disagreements over policies belied a lack of support for the Jewish state. Obama was greeted by ringing applause when he affirmed a vision of “Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security.” “Just as Israelis built a state in their homeland, Palestinians have a right to be a free people in their land as well. That’s not easy,” Obama drew lines between his pursuit of equality of opportunity in America and his support for Israel and for combatting anti-Semitism, adding that “the rights of the Jewish people compel me to think about the rights of a Palestinian child in Ramallah who feels trapped without opportunity.” “That’s what Jewish values teach me,” he added.

Headline:  Saudi Arabia attack: Islamic State claims Shia mosque bombing

The Islamic State (IS) group says it was behind a suicide bombing on a Shia mosque in Saudi Arabia that killed at least 10 people. The attack in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province is the first to be claimed by the Saudi branch of IS, which was formally established last November. The claim was posted on Twitter with an image of the bomber by an account that is a reliable source on the group. IS has previously threatened to attack Shia Muslims in Saudi Arabia. Witnesses reported a huge blast at the Imam Ali mosque in the village of al-Qadeeh, in Qatif governorate during Friday prayers. A doctor at the hospital told the BBC that at least 10 people were killed and about 70 injured, “some very critically”.

Syria Headline:   Islamic State seizes more than half of Syria

The Islamic State has seized more than half of Syria after taking full control of the town of Palmyra and its ancient ruins, activists said Thursday. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the extremists had seized more than 36,000 square miles of the country and had also taken control of “the vast majority” of its gas and oil fields. USA TODAY could not independently confirm the information. Bebars al-Talawy, an activist in the central province of Homs, told the AP the militants now control the ruins at Palmyra, a UNESCO world heritage site famous for its 2,000-year-old Roman-era colonnades and priceless artifacts. Both activists said Thursday that the Islamic State has not damaged the ruins so far. Al-Talawy said the government had recently transferred thousands of inmates from the town’s prison to a jail near the capital of Damascus, but added the extremists had freed some of the prisoners who remained inside. Syrian state television said late Wednesday that pro-government forces had withdrawn from Palmyra after evacuating most civilians there, Reuters reported.

Iraq Headline: The US and Iraqi and Syrian armies go to pieces against ISIS drive. Israel, Jordan, Saudis alarmed

The fall of Damascus and Baghdad, or large slices thereof, into the rapacious hands of the Islamic State, is no longer a debatable subject of strategic forecasts. Today, the capital cities of Syria and Iraq are within the Islamists’ grasp. The Middle East is about to pay the price for President Barack Obama’s single-minded obsession with a US détente with Tehran and a nuclear accord. It is the end product of Washington’s insistence on playing down ISIS as a formidable opponent and contention that the meager US-led coalition air campaign destroyed much of its operational capabilities, which proved to be an illusion. Equally fallacious was Obama’s trust in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps and its terrorist arm, the Al Qods Brigades, to curtail the Islamist momentum. The Islamists have until now held back from an all-out offensive to capture Baghdad for a variety of tactical considerations. A city of this size is a bit too large for the Islamists to swallow, hold and administer. It suits the jihadists better to hold the town to siege and under constant terrorist harassment. The most knowledgeable sources in the region can’t explain what part the US Central Command is playing as a military factor in any of these conflicts – in particular, Gen. John Allen, whom Obama last year named Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIS. Some account for their low-to-vanishing profile by their having been preoccupied in preparing a grand campaign for the recovery of Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, which is under ISIS rule. Today, this plan looks like a pipe dream. ISIS has caused a Middle East earthquake after another by capturing Ramadi in Iraq and Palmyra in Syria in a matter of days. Their alarmed neighbors in Jerusalem, Amman and Riyadh have been forced to conclude that their borders are in danger – not just from Iran, but also from ISIS, and they will have to confront these perils on their own.

Iraq Headline: ISIS seizes town in Iraq’s Anbar

A tribal leader says ISIS militants have seized another town in Iraq’s western Anbar province, less than a week after capturing the provincial capital, Ramadi. Sheikh Rafie al-Fahdawi said Friday that the small town of Husseiba fell overnight. He says police and tribal fighters withdrew after running out of ammunition. Husseiba is about seven kilometers east of Ramadi, where ISIS militants routed Iraqi forces in their most significant advance in nearly a year. The Iraqi government plans to launch a counteroffensive in Anbar involving Iranian-backed Shiite militias, which have played a key role in rolling back ISIS elsewhere in the country. The presence of the militias could however fuel sectarian tensions in the Sunni province, where anger at the Shiite-led government runs deep.

Headline: Isis claims it could buy its first nuclear weapon from Pakistan within 12 months

Isis has used the latest issue of its propaganda magazine Dabiq to suggest the group is expanding so rapidly it could buy its first nuclear weapon within a year. The hyperbolic article, which the group attributes to the British hostage John Cantlie, claims Isis has transcended its roots as “the most explosive Islamic ‘group’ in the modern world” to evolve into “the most explosive Islamic movement the modern world has ever seen” in less than twelve months. Photojournalist John Cantlie is regularly used in the terror group’s propaganda and has appeared in a number of videos, including a YouTube series called “Lend Me Your Ears”. He has been held a hostage by Isis for more than two years. It admits that such a scenario is “far-fetched” but warns: “It’s the sum of all fears for Western intelligence agencies and it’s infinitely more possible today than it was just one year ago. “And if not a nuke, what about a few thousand tons of ammonium nitrate explosive? That’s easy enough to make.”

Turkish police launched an operation on Friday to detain dozens of people including businessmen seen as supporters of U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ally-turned-foe, a provincial governor’s office said. Moves against what Erdogan calls a parallel structure or terrorist group within the state had until now focused on suspected Gulen sympathisers in the police, judiciary, media and a bank founded by his followers. Erdogan, seeking overwhelming support for the AK Party he founded at June elections which he hopes will pave the way for broader presidential powers, accuses Gulen of among other things engineering a graft scandal to discredit and unseat him. Friday’s police operation focused on the central city of Konya but included 19 provinces. It targeted 66 people, including businessmen and former police officers, the Konya governor’s office said. It said in a statement that the investigation related to allegations including membership of what it termed the “Fethullahist Terror Group” and violating the secrecy of an investigation, without giving details. The raids were triggered by the arrest of a Konya-based lawyer and his secretary as they sought to leave Turkey earlier this month, it said.

The United Nations Friday accused South Sudan’s rebel and government forces of targeting one of its bases sheltering civilians during a flareup of fighting, and demanded that those responsible face justice. Senior peacekeeping official Edmond Mulet told reporters that 22 shells had hit the base in Melut, in Upper Nile State, over the past two days, killing eight civilians, in what could amount to a war crime. Mulet said he had been in touch with both the government and the rebel sides to urge them to “stop targeting U.N. premises and our protection sites” and stressed that the field commanders “know where the protection site is.” A formal note has been sent to the U.N. Security Council over the violence targeting the U.N. base at Melut, which is sheltering 1,600 civilians. A U.N. investigation is under way to determine who fired at the compound, said Mulet, the assistant secretary-general for peacekeeping.

Headline: Ten killed as Libya’s rival governments take on Islamist fighters

Standing guard at his frontline post, Libyan soldier Mohammed Abu Shager can see where Islamic State militants are holed up with their heavy weaponry less than a kilometre away. The militants have effectively taken over former dictator Muammar Gaddafi’s home city of Sirte as they exploit a civil war between two rival governments to expand in North Africa. “Every night they open fire on us,” said Abu Shebar, who with comrades on Sirte’s western outskirts holds the last position of troops belonging to one of the two warring Libyan governments, the General National Congress, which controls the capital Tripoli and most of the west of the country. “They are only active at night,” he said, pointing to the militants’ position in a house just down the road blocked by sandbags. He sleeps in a shed next to his firing positions where used tank shells litter the ground. Libya, which has descended into near anarchy since NATO warplanes helped rebels overthrow Gaddafi in a 2011 civil war, is now the third big stronghold for the Sunni Islamist group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, which declared a Caliphate to rule over all Muslims from territory it holds in Syria and Iraq. Islamic State fighters became a major force last year in Derna, a jihadi bastion in Libya’s east, and quickly spread to the biggest eastern city Benghazi, where they have conducted suicide bombings on streets divided among armed factions.

Three Ukrainian servicemen have been killed and 12 wounded in the latest clashes between government forces and Russian-backed separatists, further eroding a three-month-old ceasefire, Kiev’s military said on Friday. Military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said government forces had come under attack from separatists using large-caliber guns and mortar in several parts of the east and southeast, including near the rebel-controlled city of Donetsk. “In the past 24 hours we have lost three Ukrainian heroes, and another 12 have been wounded,” Lysenko told a briefing. There was no word on casualties among the separatists, who Kiev, NATO and Western countries say are being provided with arms and men by Russia, something Moscow denies. Ukraine’s largest steel company, Metinvest, said one worker had been killed and two wounded when its Avdiyivka coke plant, which is on government-controlled territory, was been hit by heavy shelling on Thursday.

Pestilence & Plagues Luke 21:11 & Revelation 6:8 “And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.” (Luke) “So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death (Thanatos in Greek meaning the death of the body whether natural or violent), and by the beasts of the earth” (Revelation)

Headline: 27 dead in cholera outbreak at Burundi refugee camp in Tanzania

At least 27 people have died in an outbreak of cholera at a Burundian refugee camp in Tanzania, humanitarian workers said Thursday. An estimated 50,000 refugees from Burundi live at a camp in the village of Kagunga, where cholera is suspected of sickening another 15 people, UNICEF said. The World Health Organization says up to 90,000 people live at the camp in the village. More than 112,000 have fled Burundi in recent weeks during an attempted military overthrow of the government. Many are living in camps along the shores of Lake Tanganyika, where conditions are poor. Between 500 and 2,000 people arrive each day, overwhelming the health system infrastructure where there is already limited camping space, poor hygiene, and inadequate sanitation and drinking water. WHO says non-cholera-related cases of diarrhea have climbed to more than 1,000.

Wars & Rumors of Wars Matthew 24:6 , Revelation 6:3-4 & Revelation 6:8 ^“ 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.” Revelation 6:3-4 speaks of the fiery red horse given power to make men slay one another and Revelation 6:8 speaks again of this red horse in conjunction with the pale horse of Death and Hades, as the one that has the power to kill by sword. Prophecy Sign: Weapons of Mass Destruction Zechariah 14:12 “And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.”

Headline: US warns China not to challenge military flights over South China Sea

The U.S. military has begun to carefully but publicly challenge Chinese island-building on disputed reefs and shoals in the South China Sea, creating fresh tension in a potential global tinderbox as both countries shift forces into the area. In the latest incident, a Chinese military dispatcher demanded repeatedly that a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon surveillance aircraft leave as it flew near Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratly Islands, where China has dredged hundreds of yards of coral and sand and built an airstrip on what it claims is sovereign territory. “Foreign military aircraft, this is Chinese navy. You are approaching our military alert zone. Leave immediately,” the Chinese dispatcher said in a radio transmission, the Navy recounted Thursday. When the U.S. crew responded that it was flying in international airspace, the Chinese dispatcher answered, “This is the Chinese navy…. You go!” The U.S. plane, which was operating from an air base in the Philippines, received eight warnings from the Chinese during the mission. Verbal sparring is common between the two militaries, but the Pentagon decision to release two videos and audio recordings from the dust-up a day earlier — less than a week after it disclosed that a U.S. warship also had sailed through the Spratlys — shows a new willingness to publicly confront Beijing for expanding construction projects in waters believed to be rich in oil and gas, and close to vital shipping lanes.

Apostasy & Alternative Lifestyles Amos 8:11, 1 Timothy 4:1-3 & Romans1:26-27  “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, ² speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, ³ 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) “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) “For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due”(Romans)

Headline: Same-sex referendum: Polls open in Ireland

Voters in the Republic of Ireland are taking part in a referendum on legalising same-sex marriage on Friday. More than 3.2m people are being asked whether they want to amend the country’s constitution to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry. Polling stations opened at 07:00 BST with voting continuing until 22:00 BST and counting due to start on Saturday morning. Same-sex marriage is currently legal in 19 countries worldwide. Votes have already been cast in some islands as well as hospitals, hospices and nursing homes. Irish citizens who are registered are allowed to vote, but there is no postal voting. Many people returned to Ireland to cast their votes. They will be asked whether they agree with the statement: “Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to their sex”. The referendum is being held 22 years after homosexual acts were decriminalised in Ireland.

Headline:   Priest kidnapped in Homs region of Syria: NGO

A priest of the Syriac Catholic Church in the western Syrian city of Homs was kidnapped Thursday along with one of his colleagues, the NGO l’Oeuvre d’Orient told AFP Friday. Father Jacques Mourad was seized with another Christian originating from Aleppo, who was helping the priest. “The priest was kidnapped by three masked people in the early afternoon at his Mar Elian Monastery in Qaryatayn, while he was preparing to welcome an expected influx of refugees from Palmyra,” said the NGO. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group, confirmed that “two men, at least one of them a priest,” were kidnapped by armed men “near Qaryatayn, in the Homs province”. Mourad succeeded the Italian Jesuit Priest Paolo Dall’Oglio as the head of the Mar Moussa Monastery, which is linked to Mar Elian. Dall’Oglio has been missing for nearly two years after being kidnapped in Syria’s northern Aleppo province. The NGO said that Mourad worked to foster inter-religious dialogue, and worked with both Christians and Muslims.

Headline: UK rocked as earthquake hits near London

A “DRAMATIC, violent, jarring and jolting” earthquake has struck the UK near Kent, waking residents in the middle of the night with the shock of their lives. The unexpected tremor was felt across Britain. The British Geological Survey confirmed the quake struck at 2:52am British Standard Time with an epicentre 7km south of Ramsgate near Kent. It measured 4.2 on the Richter scale. Residents woke in shock as windows rattled, furniture shook and some reported that the quake sounded like a ‘door was being kicked in’. The site of the quake was near another quake that hit the region in 2007 as a 4.3.
