“Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
Headline: Israel plans high tech fence along Jordan border to degrade ISIL infiltration
Israel has prioritized a project to build a high tech barrier along the border with Jordan. Officials said the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was seeking resources to complete a barrier of some 400 kilometers that would block infiltration from the Hashemite kingdom. They said the barrier, equipped with thermal cameras, motion detectors and unmanned aerial vehicles, would be established in stages. “The first thing we must do is build a fence in the east,” Netanyahu said. “While the fence doesn’t stop all infiltrations, gun and rocket fire though it or over it, or the digging of tunnels, it dramatically narrows down infiltration to Israel.” In an address to the Institute of National Security Studies on June 29, Netanyahu said the Jordan barrier was vital amid the advance of Islamic State of Iraq and Levant. The prime minister raised the prospect of ISIL infiltration from neighboring Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.

Headline: Israel fortifying northern border, Lebanese report
The Israel Defense Forces is fortifying positions along the border with Lebanon, according to a Lebanese news report. It “cemented and fortified the military posts along the border with Lebanon facing the Adaisseh-Kfarkila road,” the Lebanese National News Agency reported Friday, according to a translation by Lebanese news site Naharnet. “A crane placed cement blocks and walls on the makeshift military road separating the electronic fence and the groves of the Metulla settlement.” The NNA asserted that the IDF was erecting the fortifications in order to conceal troop movements. It also reported that Israel had stationed tanks and armored personnel carriers along Shebaa Farms and the Golan Heights overlooking the road leading from Syria and Lebanon. The report came just days after Major-General Luciano Portolano, the new head of mission at the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, said the northern border “is generally calm,” according to a UNIFIL statement. However, Portolano’s assessment appeared to run counter to that of a senior IDF officer who told Hebrew-language media that the situation could easily deteriorate.

Headline: Israel to re-authorize security barrier route near West Bank historical site
The government on Sunday is set to debate the re-authorization of 45 kilometers of the West Bank security barrier’s route in the Battir region of Gush Etzion, which is a World Heritage site. It is reviewing the barrier’s route at the request of the High Court of Justice, but the move forces the government to make a public stand on a contentious diplomatic issue that has been mostly dormant in the last few years: the West Bank security barrier. In 2004, the International Court of Justice at the Hague issued a non-binding advisory opinion, explaining that construction of the barrier over the pre-1967 lines was illegal. Israel designed the barrier to prevent the type of suicide bombings that killed around 1000 thousand people during the second intifada. It has refused to heed the ICJ opinion, which it believes is legally flawed and the result of a biased process. But the pace of construction has been slow and according to the United Nations, 12 years after the barrier’s inception, only 62% of its 712 kilometer route has been completed.

Headline: Hamas announcement confirm renewed tunnel operations against Israel
Less than a month after its 50-day war, Hamas acknowledged renewed tunnel operations against Israel. Hamas said it oversaw attack tunnel operations in the Gaza Strip. On Sept. 18, Hamas reported the death of a fighter in a tunnel accident. “The Izzedin Kassam Brigades of Hamas’ military wing announces the martyrdom of Ahmed Riyad Al Hadad on Thursday evening while working in a resistance tunnel,” Hamas said. Hamas provided no details of the death of the 21-year-old Hadad. The statement also did not identify Hadad’s position in Hamas. This marked the first Hamas statement to confirm the resumption of tunnel operations.

Headline: Hamas denies Qatar is pushing it to leave
Headline: Hamas-Backing Qatar Contracts Top Flight Public Relations Firm to Improve Ties With US
Qatar shocked many political circles on Sept. 12 when it asked several Muslim Brotherhood leaders to leave Doha in an effort to meet conditions for restoring ties with its Gulf neighbors. On Sept. 14, leaks emerged that Qatar might also apply the decision to leaders of Hamas — who have been residing in Doha since leaving Syria in mid-2012 — in response to international pressure. Speaking to Al-Monitor, Ismail Radwan, a senior Hamas leader and former Palestinian minister of Awqaf, who has been alternately residing in Beirut and Doha, denied that Doha has asked Hamas to leave its territory. He said, “The leaks [are] a desperate attempt to destabilize the ties between both sides, which are at their best.” Ahmed Yousef, a former political adviser to former Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, told Al-Monitor, “Hamas did not receive any request to reduce its presence in Doha, and has not been under any pressure in this regard, particularly since Hamas political leader Khaled Meshaal has had close ties and mutual understanding and respect with the ruling family in Qatar for more than 20 years. Hamas and Qatar have strong political relations and understandings on the policies toward the successive developments in the region. Qatar sought to promote its role in the region when it hosted Hamas. Its decision to dismiss the Brotherhood leaders does not apply to the Hamas leaders.”

A “solution to the conflict” between the Israelis and Palestinians will be put to the UN Security Council, French President Francois Hollande said Friday after meeting Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Paris. “We will have a resolution, to be presented to the Security Council, that will say very clearly what we expect from the (peace) process and what the solution to the conflict must be,” Hollande told reporters in a joint news conference with Abbas. The French president said that stop-start negotiations had gone on “too long” and “there is a perception that there will never be a solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, even though we know the outlines” of a possible deal.

Headline: Nusra Front executes captive Lebanese soldier: security source
Abducted Army soldier Mohammad Maarouf Hammieh was killed at the hands of Nusra Front militants Friday, a Lebanese security source and a source who is in indirect contact with the Nusra Front told The Daily Star. The execution marks the first killing of a Nusra Front captive after over 30 military and security hostages were captured during a militant attack on the northeastern town of Arsal last month. The sources confirmed that Hammieh, who hails from the Baalbek village of Taraya in the Bekaa Valley, was shot to death by the militants. “Mohammad Hamieh is the first victim of the intransigence of the Lebanese Army, which has become a puppet [in the hands of Hezbollah]” a Nusra-affiliated Twitter page said Friday. The Nusra Front and ISIS are still holding at least 22 policemen and soldiers captive. ISIS has so far beheaded two soldiers, while Nusra killed its first soldier Friday.

Anonymous perpetrators launched an Energe rifle grenade on an Army checkpoint in Tripoli Friday, security sources told The Daily Star. So far, the attack has caused no casualties or damages. The assault took place on an Army checkpoint stationed on the Omari road that separates the warring neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen. Fighters from the predominantly-Sunni Bab al-Tabbaneh, which backs the Syrian opposition, and the Alawite Jabal Mohsen, which enjoys close ties with the Syrian government, have engaged in over 20 rounds of fighting since the start of the crisis in Syria. The source said that the attack was likely a symbolic assault on the Army that was driven by unrest in the northeastern town of Arsal.

Egypt
Headline: Egypt militants behead man in restive Sinai
An al-Qaida-inspired militant group in Egypt beheaded a man in the restive Sinai Peninsula for allegedly conspiring with Israel, security officials said Friday. Militants from the Ansar Beit al-Maqdis group dumped the beheaded body on the road in the town of Sheikh Zuweyid, and continue to hold several other men for the same reason, according to the officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters. Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, whose name means Champions of Jerusalem in Arabic, posted an online video in August showing the beheading of four men in Sinai. The men in the video said they helped Israel target the group’s members with drone strikes in exchange for money. The group claimed most of the major militant attacks that have hit Egypt since the 2013 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

Headline: Protests spread across Egypt in commemoration of Sisi’s first 100 days
Dozens of protests spread across the country on the first Friday since the commemoration President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi’s first 100 days in power. “Protests began on Friday morning in most of Egypt’s towns and villages while larger demonstrations took off from mosques after Friday prayers,” said Islam Tawfiq, one of the demonstrators in Cairo. Demonstrators’ chants are coloured with a range of demands and condemnations: down with the military, freedom for political prisoners, a change in the deteriorating standards of living and increasing prices and an end to the regular power cuts, demonstrators in Egypt told MEE. “What’s becoming more popular now is that protesters make an oath at each demonstration promising to continue the revolution and achieve the 25 January revolutionary demands as well as take vengeance for all martyrs and political prisoners,” said Diaa Sawy, spokesperson for the coalition for Youth against the Coup. Several observers have seen the former field marshal to have brought economic and diplomatic development as well as hope to the Egyptians after a tumults three years since the ouster of Mubarak in 2011. They also reported deteriorating human rights and political freedoms however.

Syria Headline: Jabhat al-Nusra Regroups after ISIS Success in Iraq
The successful ISIS advance in the wake of its June 2014 capture of the Iraqi city of Mosul has prompted a shift in rival al-Qaeda group JN’s disposition within Syria. JN has abandoned its former center of gravity in Deir ez-Zour province in favor of consolidating control in Idlib Province. This shift represents a transition by JN away from discreet influence within outwardly rebel-dominated structures that had characterized its activities in Deir ez-Zour. JN advances on the Syrian-Turkish border helps to replace revenue lost to ISIS from the oil fields in Deir ez-Zour. It also allows JN to regroup deep within the rebel center of gravity in northwestern Syria. A campaign to “counter corruption” in Idlib served as the pretext for JN’s seizure of control. Rebel participation in this anti-corruption activity has allowed JN to reaffirm its influence within rebel ranks. Despite abandoning its involvement in joint Shari’a courts alongside prominent rebel groups, JN is unlikely to divert from its desired end state of an Islamic State in a post-Assad Syria.

Iraq Headline: ISIS creates police force in northwest Iraq
ISIS militants in Iraq’s northwest Ninevah province have created a police force to “implement the orders of the religious judiciary,” according to a well-known militant Islamist website. Photos on the website showed armed men in black clothing with “Islamic Police Ninevah State” printed on the arm. The police forces were in freshly painted police cars and one photo showed militiamen on a river boat. It was not clear when the photos were posted or when the police force was established. The text on the website said the force would “maintain order and arrest culprits and the corrupt.” The text said it would be different from police forces in other states, which it described as “a tool to suppress dissent.” Residents in Ninevah told Reuters the police’s main duty appears to be to detain people they consider opposed to their cause, however.

Meanwhile, senior Iraqi Kurdish officials have expressed dismay over Turkey’s silence on the atrocities committed by the ISIL Takfiri terrorists.

Several thousand Syrian Kurds began crossing into Turkey on Friday fleeing Islamic State fighters who advanced into their villages, prompting warnings of massacres from Kurdish leaders. Islamic State (IS) fighters have seized villages in northern Syria over the past two days and are besieging the mainly Kurdish town of Ayn al-Arab, known as Kobani in Kurdish, on the Turkish border. Meanwhile, in a contradictory news report, Turkish police and troops fired tear gas and water cannon Friday at scores of people staging a protest near the Syrian border at Ankara’s refusal to take in Kurds fleeing clashes with ISIS jihadists, local media reported.

Borders which link up to territory occupied by Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants should be closed as part of international efforts to defeat the group, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in an interview with Al Arabiya News Channel on Friday.

Headline: Seven killed as Ugandans, South Sudanese clash at border
At least seven people were killed in a string of clashes either side of Uganda and South Sudan’s border, a remote area plagued by cattle rustling and conflicts over territory, Uganda’s military said. The fighting started on Thursday when South Sudanese gunmen detained Ugandan local government officials carrying out a census, accusing them of straying into South Sudanese territory, said Uganda’s military spokesman Paddy Ankunda. That triggered demonstrations in the Ugandan border town of Moyo, where Ugandans razed houses belonging to South Sudanese residents, Ankunda said.

In retaliation, South Sudanese militants entered Uganda and killed five people at around midnight,” Ankunda told Reuters. A local government official in Moyo, Jimmy Vukoni, told Reuters by telephone that he had received reports that South Sudanese youths on Friday also crossed into Uganda and stole cattle, burnt houses and raped women.

Amid the growing number of Moroccans who travel to Syria and Iraq in order to join the Islamic State’s ranks, the Moroccan government has passed a new law, on Thursday that criminalizes traveling to the tension areas.

This new law aims at facing the growing number of ISIS-linked cells that brainwash the Moroccan youth into joining the Islamic State ranks for Jihad. The new law includes an article, which allows the arrest and the trial of any Moroccan in Morocco or abroad, for committing a terrorist crime, outside Morocco. “This new law criminalizes forming any all the organizations, inside Morocco or abroad which aims at carrying out terrorist operations, or the cells that trains Moroccan youth in order to send them to the terrorist ranks,” said Mustafa Ramid.

In his remarks during a joint press conference after a one-hour-long bilateral meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Davutoğlu said if Armenia shows respect to Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and peace is established between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Yerevan will benefit from regional cooperation projects. “As long as the Karabakh problem [exists] and Armenia’s hard-line stance continues, it will remain outside of all of the projects. … Turkey will stand by Azerbaijan’s struggle until every centimeter of Azerbaijani territories is disengaged [from by Armenia]. International law agrees with this. Until international law is fulfilled as required, Turkey will make efforts standing shoulder to shoulder with Azerbaijan to turn the region into a peaceful one,” he said, adding that any negative stance towards Azerbaijan from Armenia will receive a harsh reaction from Turkey.

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

Bello Adamu, an eyewitness, said Boko Haram gunmen stormed the market, located some 56 kilometers (34 miles) from the capital of the state, Maiduguri, at around 1:30 p.m. local time (1230 GMT) on Friday as buying and selling was in full swing. According to traders at the market, the attack lasted for about an hour. A security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said at least 21 people lost their lives in the assault, and attackers carted away some money and goods as they ransacked stores in the local market.

Headline: Shi’ite rebels shell Yemen state TV, residents flee fighting
International airlines have suspended flights to Yemen’s main airport for 24 hours due to weeks of clashes near the capital, authorities said. “Arab and foreign airlines have decided to suspend their flights to Sanaa for 24 hours because of developments in the capital,” the Civil Aviation Authority said overnight. The measure could be extended or reconsidered depending on the security situation, it said in a statement carried by the official Saba news agency. The move follows fighting between rebels, known as Huthis or Ansarullah, and fighters backed by troops. Nearly 40 people were killed in violence just outside the capital on Thursday. Meanwhile, Armed Shi’ite rebels shelled Yemen’s state-run television building on Friday as they advanced into Sanaa, sending hundreds fleeing their homes in a dramatic escalation of violence after weeks of fighting and protests, officials and residents said.

Headline: Catalonia to press ahead with referendum after Scottish No
Headline: Madrid opposed to Catalonia independence referendum
Catalan leader Artur Mas has said the Scottish referendum has reinforced his plan to hold a similar vote at home. Speaking in Barcelona on Friday (19 September), he noted that the devolved Catalan parliament is likely to pass a law on the referendum later the same day. “I will sign the decree on this consultation in Catalonia. In fact, I will call this consultation on 9 November as agreed some months ago with the majority of Catalan political forces”. He said he would have preferred it if Scotland had voted Yes. But he added: “I am happy, not because of the result of the referendum, but because there was one … I am very happy because we have a precedent in the European Union, a very powerful precedent, that these kind of differences can be resolved through a referendum”. “It’s a very powerful message that the UK is sending to the entire world”.

You have heaped up treasure in the last days.” (James)
Headline: Argentina’s Poverty Risks Quadrupling, World Bank Says
Argentina risks quadrupling its poverty level as the economy stalls, the World Bank says. Those living on $4-$10 per day, or 33 percent of Argentina’s population as of 2012, are vulnerable to falling into poverty in the case of an adverse shock, according to the World Bank’s 2015-2018 report on the South American nation. The poverty rate for the country’s 43 million people may increase to more than 40 percent from about 11 percent, it said. “Strengthening macroeconomic resilience, improving the business environment, and boosting investor confidence will be critical to fostering investment and expanding and sustaining the employment thereby generated,” the report said. Argentina defaulted on its international bonds July 30 after a U.S. judge blocked a $539 million interest payment until the government pays so-called holdouts from a 2001 default in full. South America’s second-largest economy contracted in the first quarter while the annual inflation rate is about 40 percent.

Headline: The Dow And S&P 500 Soar To Irrational Heights – Meanwhile The Ultra-Wealthy Rush To Buy Gold Bars
Did you know that the number of gold bars being purchased by ultra-wealthy individuals has increased by 243 percent so far this year? If stocks are just going to keep soaring, why are they doing this? On Thursday, the Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 both closed at record highs once again. It is a party that never seems to end, and there are a lot of really happy people on Wall Street these days. But those that are discerning realize that we witnessed the exact same kind of bubble behavior during the dotcom boom and during the run up to the last financial crash in 2007. The irrational exuberance that we are witnessing right now cannot go on forever. And the bigger that this bubble gets, the more painful that it is going to be when it finally bursts. Those that get out at the peaks of the market are the ones that usually end up making lots of money. Those that ride stocks all the way up and all the way down are the ones that usually end up getting totally wiped out.

Eight members of a team trying to raise awareness about Ebola have been killed by villagers using machetes and clubs in Guinea, officials say. Some of the bodies – of health workers, local officials and journalists – were found in a septic tank in a village school near the city of Nzerekore. Correspondents say many villagers are suspicious of official attempts to combat the disease. More than 2,600 people have now died from the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. It is the world’s worst outbreak of Ebola, with officials warning that more than 20,000 people could ultimately be infected. Neighbouring Sierra Leone has begun a controversial three-day curfew to try to stop the spread of the disease.

Headline: Enterovirus Cases Confirmed in Southern California Are State’s First Diagnoses
California’s first cases of a virus that has been spreading across the country were confirmed Thursday by the state’s chief health official. Four cases of enterovirus D68 have been confirmed, all in Southern California. One was in Ventura County; three others were in San Diego County. The patients ages ranged from 2 to 13 years old. More instances of the disease were expected as results from lab tests come back, the California Department of Public Health said in announcing the cases. The virus can cause severe respiratory illness in young children and has sent dozens to the hospital across the country. The spread of the disease to California was expected, state health officer Dr. Ron Chapman said. As of Wednesday, 18 other states had confirmed 153 cases total cases of the virus, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “There will definitely be more. It’s just a matter of time. This will spread across the entire country,” Dr. Pia Pannaraj, an infectious diseases specialist at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, told KTLA. California joins Montana and Colorado as being the only states in the Western U.S. to have confirmed cases.

Headline: Tiny Implants Could Give Humans Self-Healing Superpowers
Wolverine, Ghost Rider, the Incredible Hulk — all of these characters have at least one awesome trait in common: the ability to heal themselves. And now, the Pentagon wants to give ordinary people this superhuman capability. A new military-sponsored program aims to develop a tiny device that can be implanted in the body, where it will use electrical impulses to monitor the body’s organs, healing these crucial parts when they become infected or injured. Known as Electrical Prescriptions, or ElectRx, the program could reduce dependence on pharmaceutical drugs and offer a new way to treat illnesses, according to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the branch of the U.S. Department of Defense responsible for developing the program.

Headline: Heavy Rain Floods Manila
Tropical storm Fung-Wong has dumped heavy rain on the Philippine capital of Manila, forcing the closure of government offices, schools and government offices. Thousands of residents in low-lying areas were moved to higher ground, officials said, as flood waters rose quickly after the equivalent of half a month’s usual rain fell in six hours. More than 20,000 people were evacuated in the city of Marikina in eastern metropolitan Manila, where the river swelled and reached a critical level, the city government said. “We could be trapped in our homes, so we needed to evacuate,” said Catherine Otares, mother of three. Local authorities sent rubber boats and amphibious vehicles to rescue residents from their waterlogged homes, as floods were past head-deep in some areas. “A lot of people were asking for help, since last night. It was raining hard, and the water levels were going up, so we needed to respond,” rescuer Jeremy Gatchang said. The Philippine Stock Exchange suspended trade after the government cancelled work and classes in the capital.
