Headline: Israel targets Hamas base after gunfire from Gaza
The Israeli military has said on Thursday its air force had attacked a Hamas military position in the Gaza Strip overnight from which gunfire had hit homes in southern Israel. Shots from Gaza had on Wednesday hit a number of houses in Netiv Haasara, just north of the Palestinian enclave, causing damage but no casualties, it said in a statement. “In response to the shooting, an IAF (Israel air force) aircraft targeted a Hamas military post in the northern Gaza Strip, from where the shots were fired,” it read. The army could not say whether the shots from Gaza had been deliberate or stray fire from the Hamas position, identified in Israeli media as a training base. Palestinian security sources said two missiles fired from the plane hit a training facility in Beit Lahiya belonging to Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, causing damage but no casualties.

Headline: Palestinians attack US tourists mistaken as settlers
Palestinians attacked five US tourists driving in the flashpoint West Bank city of Hebron on Thursday, hurling a petrol bomb and rocks at their car, police said, apparently mistaking them for settlers. The visitors, said by Israel’s Channel 2 television to be students at a Jewish seminary in Brooklyn, were given refuge by a Palestinian man who sheltered them in his home until Israeli security forces arrived to escort them to safety, the police statement said. It added that two of the young men were lightly injured and given first aid on the spot. Channel 2 said the men’s vehicle was torched only after they had abandoned it.

Headline: UN expected to easily pass resolution allowing Palestinian flag to fly at New York HQ
A draft resolution on raising the Palestinian flag at the United Nations (UN) will be adopted next week in time for president Mahmud Abbas’s visit to New York, the Palestinian Authority (PA) envoy said Thursday. The UN General Assembly will vote on September 10 on the measure that is almost certain to garner a majority of votes in the 193-nation forum. “We have the votes and we are working to get as many votes as we can,” said Riyad Mansour, the PA representative to the UN. Once adopted, the UN will have 20 days to carry out the decision, which would be in time for Abbas’s visit on September 30. Mansour declined to say whether a formal flag-raising ceremony would be held during Abbas’s visit, an event that would highlight the Palestinians’ aspirations for statehood. “It is a symbolic thing but it is another step to solidify the pillars of the state of Palestine in the international arena and give our people a small hope that the international community is still supporting the independence of the state of Palestine,” Mansour told reporters, according to AFP. The draft resolution presented last week to the General Assembly would allow the flags of the PA and of the Holy See to be hoisted alongside those of the 193 member states.

Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” (Psalm 83)
Lebanon
Headline: Lebanon activists stage hunger strike, want minister to quit
Several Lebanese activists launched an open-ended hunger strike on Thursday, demanding the resignation of the environment minister at the center of the country’s trash crisis. The activists set up tents outside the Environment Ministry in downtown Beirut. Several supporters joined the 11 hunger strikers Thursday evening. “I want him to feel our pain,” 25-year-old protester Salah Jbeili said. “He is responsible for the trash problem. We will fight him, like we will fight all corrupt politicians.” The hunger strike comes two days after protesters walked into the ministry and staged a sit-in. That standoff with security forces lasted for hours. A protest movement that began with rallies against the garbage piling up in the streets of Beirut garnered much support among the many Lebanese angered by the government’s failure to find a solution after the main landfill was closed in July. Protests have grown beyond the garbage issue and now target the government and entire political class. Protesters say the minister, Mohammed Machnouk, has become a symbol of the government’s inefficiency and corruption. Machnouk said he will not resign.

Saudi Arabia
Headline: Obama Reassures Saudi King on Iran
U.S. President Barack Obama welcomed Saudi King Salman to the White House Friday for the Arab leader’s first visit to the United States since ascending the throne in January, following the death of King Abdullah. The talks between Obama and the king could not come at a more tumultuous time, as a U.S.-led coalition fights Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, and a Saudi-led coalition beats back Iranian-supported Houthi rebels in Yemen. Friday’s meeting is the first since a May 14 summit, during which Obama spent time with Gulf Cooperation Council leaders assuaging any concerns about brokering a nuclear agreement with Iran. “Many people in the Gulf, in fact the entire Arab world, are concerned about the U.S. position in the Gulf, about the Iran nuclear agreement, about what is happening in terms of Iran’s expanding influence in the Levant, in Iraq, in Yemen,” said Anthony Cordesman, a security analyst with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Cordesman said dialogue will be critical to building Saudi confidence, particularly in the recently negotiated Iran nuclear agreement. “They have to be firmly convinced the United States is going to enforce it, is not going to ignore any violations, they will take a hard stand on it,” he said. While noting Saudi Arabia has already expressed support for the deal, Rhodes acknowledged Saudi concerns about Iran getting its hands on some $56 billion in assets due to sanctions relief.

Egypt
Headline: Six Peacekeepers Injured in Egypt Bombings
Six international peacekeepers, including four Americans, were wounded Thursday in two roadside bombings in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula where Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists are active, Egyptian and US security officials said. The peacekeepers, part of a force that monitors a 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, are based in the north of the peninsula, where ISIS has killed scores of soldiers in attacks. “We are aware that four US and two Multinational Force and Observer (MFO) peacekeepers were injured today (Thursday) in two IED explosions in northeast Sinai,” US Defense Department spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said in a statement. “The MFO evacuated the soldiers by air to a medical facility where all are receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.” There was no immediate word on the nationalities of the other two peacekeepers. Twelve countries contribute troops to the mission, including Australia, Britain and Canada, as well as the United States. Egyptian security officials said the peacekeepers were hit by a roadside bomb planted on a road leading from their base. The officials said ISIS terrorists had placed bombs there aimed at passing Egyptian troops.

Syria Headline: 8 killed in twin bombings in Syria’s Swaida suwayda
Two explosions rocked the predominantly-Druze city of Swaida (As-Suwayda on map) in southern Syria on Friday, leaving at least eight people killed, the state-run TV reported. The first blast took place at the Daher al-Jabal area in Swiada, in which four people were killed and 11 others wounded, said the TV. Meanwhile, Sheikh Hammoud Hinnawi, one of the most prominent Druze Sheikh in Swaida, told Xinhua that the Daher al-Jabal blast was caused by an explosive device that tore through the car of Sheikh Wahid al-Balous, a Druze spiritual leader and outspoken critic of the Syrian regime. The Lebanese al-Bina’a newspaper said Balous and his assistance were killed in the blast. Meanwhile, the second explosion was caused by a booby-trapped car that went off near the National Hospital of Swaida, amid information of high number of casualties, including doctors, the TV and sources said. The Druze minority, along with other minority groups in Syria, has emerged as supporters of President Bashar al-Assad, fearing the expansion of radical jihadist groups that showed no tolerance of minority groups in Syria. However, the Druze support of the Syrian regime didn’t stop them from criticizing the government’s conduct in that city near the Jordanian borders. Last week, several dozens of people staged protests before government institutions in Swaida, urging for reforms.

Syria Headline: Islamic State executes 40 of its militants as internal conflict intensifies
The radical group of Islamic State (ISIS) has executed 40 of its militants, including prominent Saudi leading members, in the eastern Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor on charges of refusing to follow military orders, activists reported on Thursday. The ISIS-linked Sharia Court in al-Mayadin city of Deir ez-Zor province has issued a decision to execute every member of the group who refuses to abide by the regulations of the ISIS general leadership. “ISIS has executed more than 40 militants in the Musbaq al-Suney district of al-Mayadin, saying they have refused to join the battles in Aleppo province,” media activist Mujahid al-Shami told ARA News in al-Mayadin. The group has been transferring militants to join the fighting fronts in Aleppo and northern Raqqa after losing ground to Kurdish forces and Syrian rebel battalions. “Among those executed were several Saudi leading members who refused to leave Deir ez-Zor province. ISIS considers every member who refuses to follow military orders a traitor and deserves death,” al-Shami reported. This comes after violent rifts hit the ranks of the Islamic State over money and power. On Monday, an internal clash claimed lives of 17 ISIS militants in the Iraqi region of Baaj.

Syria Headline: Kerry stresses need for Syria ground invasion
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said there will be ground troops in Syria, emphasizing that he is convinced of the need to launch ground operations in the war-torn country but “at the appropriate moment”. The U.S. has tried to avoid sending any ground troops to the Syrian soil. However, Kerry expressed his belief that such operations seem necessary but without a direct American involvement. He believed the moment would arrive for Middle Eastern countries to send soldiers to Syria. “We are talking about very specific ways to do that with other countries in the region,” Kerry said. “There will need to be people on the ground. I am convinced there will be at the appropriate moment.” “The president has made it very clear that American troops are not part of that equation,” he told the CNN. “But I do know that there are others who are talking about it. There are people in the region who are capable of that.” Kerry declined to say which countries might partake in the ground operation.

Iraq Headline: Iraqi army raids militia headquarters, suspecting link to Turkish abductees
Iraqi security forces investigating the abduction of 18 Turkish construction workers raided the Baghdad headquarters of a powerful Iranian-backed Shi’ite militia overnight, security sources and officials said on Friday. Gunmen in military uniform had seized the Turks on Wednesday from a sports stadium they were building in northeastern Baghdad, in what Ankara said appeared to have been a targeted kidnapping. The militia, Kataib Hezbollah, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Saad al-Hadithi, a spokesman for Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, said security forces had come under fire on Thursday night when they tried to raid a house on Palestine Street in Baghdad’s eastern district of Mohandessen. Intelligence had indicated the presence there of a member of the group involved in the Turks’ abduction, he said. Hadithi would not confirm or deny that the suspect had been apprehended, and would not comment on his possible affiliation with Kataib or any other group. A spokesman for the Hashid Shaabi, a government body overseeing armed groups fighting Islamic State including Kataib, denied the militia had any connection to the missing Turks. Karim al-Nuri said a “routine search” had escalated into a quarrel that left one soldier dead and two militia members wounded.

Iraq Headline: ISIS militants killed in clashes with Iraqi tribal forces in Nineveh
Clashes broke out between militants of the Islamic State (ISIS) and Iraqi tribal forces in Nineveh province on Thursday. At least 15 ISIS militants were killed during clashes with tribal forces from al-Jabour clan in the Qiyara district west of Mosul in Nineveh province, local sources reported. Speaking to ARA News, member of the al-Jabour clan Amed al-Luhaibi said: “The clashes broke out when ISIS terrorists tried to force young men from our clan to join their ranks. We prevented the group from taking any of our men. We killed more than 15 terrorists in the clashes and we will continue defending ourselves.” “We have always refused the presence of this radical group in Mosul. We will fight ISIS until the last man of our clan,” al-Luhaibi said. The source added that al-Jabour clan has been supporting the Kurdish Peshmerga army and the Popular Mobilization Force in the fight against ISIS for months. “Our youth have participated in anti-ISIS battles in the Farraj and Kharbaniyah areas south of Mosul,” he said.

Headline: Eight policemen killed in Tajikistan, U.S. embassy shut
Tajik officials say eight police officers and nine alleged assailants have been killed in attacks in and around the capital, prompting the U.S. Embassy to close and sparking fears of further violence in the Central Asian country. The Interior Ministry website said a “terrorist group” led by Deputy Defense Minister Abduhalim Nazarzoda, also known as Hoji Halim, launched a predawn attack on September 4 on the Vahdat district police headquarters and later clashed with security forces near the Dushanbe International Airport. Police say nine attackers were killed by security forces and six others were detained. Authorities say a search operation is under way to arrest Nazarzoda, who escaped from the scene. Nazarzoda, a former Islamic opposition commander and member of the recently banned Islamic Renaissance Party, had joined the security forces in June 1997 when the government and the opposition signed a peace accord to end the five-year civil war.

Headline: Uzbekistan: Bomb Blast Rocks Tashkent
A bomb exploded in Tashkent, close to the city’s main bazaar, in one of the most crowded areas of Uzbekistan’s capital, RFE/RL has reported. No-one was injured in the blast on September 4, which was confirmed to RFE/RL by Tashkent police. It was caused by an explosive device left at a bus stop, said the police, who said they were searching for a suspect witnessed dumping it there before making a getaway. The device blew up near the Tokhtaboy Mosque, one of Uzbekistan’s largest and best-known places of worship, where Obidkhon Qori Nazarov — a religious leader whose preaching displeased the authoritarian regime of President Islam Karimov — was once the imam. The blast — extremely rare in a country with a stifling security force presence — took place one week after Washington asked Uzbekistan to join the US-led international coalition against IS. The explosion, which was not immediately reported by the tightly controlled state media, also came less than a month after the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan terrorist group swore allegiance to Islamic State.

Headline: Senators Supporting Iran Deal Now Number 36
Iran’s supreme leader said Thursday “there will be no deal” if world powers insist on suspending rather than lifting sanctions as part of a landmark nuclear agreement, and said it is up to Iran’s parliament, and not him, to approve or reject it. His remarks, read aloud by a state TV anchorman, mark the first official comment on the deal since US President Barack Obama secured enough support to prevent the Republican-led Congress from blocking it. Khamenei has yet to express a clear opinion on the deal clinched in July, which would curb Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for relief from crippling sanctions. Khamenei said some US officials have spoken of the “suspension” of sanctions, which he said is unacceptable.
“If the sanctions are going to be suspended, then we will also fulfil our obligations on the ground at the level of suspension and not in a fundamental way,” he said.

Headline: Afghan forces “yet to regain control” of symbolic southern district
Afghan forces are still battling for control of a symbolic district of southern Helmand province, the NATO forces commander told reporters, contradicting the defence ministry, after more than a week of intense fighting supported by U.S. air strikes. Helmand has been among the most fiercely contested regions of Afghanistan since the war began. British forces lost more than 400 men trying to defeat the Taliban and some 350 U.S. Marines were also killed there. Musa Qala, which straddles smuggling routes, fell late last month to the insurgents for the first time since 2007. “The city centre and other places really don’t belong to either force now,” U.S. Air Force General Philip Breedlove, NATO’s supreme allied commander in Europe, said. The statement contradicted earlier claims by the Afghan defence ministry that it had regained control of Musa Qala. “ANSF (Afghan National Security Forces) are preparing now to retake that part of the city and I have great confidence that they will do that,” Breedlove said.

The attack has been blamed on the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram. Cameroon’s government spokesman and communication minister, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, said the wounded have been moved to hospitals in neighboring towns as the lone hospital in Kerawa is not large enough. Issa Tchiroma said the attacks at the Kerawa market were carried out by Boko Haram fighters. He said the first bomb was detonated by a young girl in the section of the market where women sell millet and groundnuts, and the second was detonated by a man near the military base where people had taken those wounded in the first explosion for treatment. He said about 20 of the victims are in critical condition.

In Ukraine the ceasefire that was supposed to go into effect September 1 has since been broken by a number of small arms attacks by Ukrainian and Russian-backed separatist forces in the east, according to a report issued by the Ukrainian government. The attacks involved at least one use of heavy mortars. Early Wednesday two civilians were killed and six Ukrainian soldiers were wounded when an anti-smuggling operation was ambushed near Luhansk in eastern Ukraine. Later in the night, both Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed separatists traded fire near the Donetsk airport. The attacks come just days after protests in Kiev Monday sparked the worst violence the city has seen since the Euromaidan protests last year. The turmoil was in direct response to a vote by the Ukrainian parliament to give separatist controlled areas more autonomy. The protests turned bloody when a disenfranchised ultranationalist solider threw a grenade into the crowd gathered outside of the parliament building downtown. The initial blast killed one national guard soldier. Two additional police officers died in the hours following and more than 90 people were wounded.

U.S. military satellites have been tracking the Russian spy ship since it was spotted in the north Atlantic last month and slowly began transiting toward its next destination — Cuba. A senior military official said the ship is now about 300 miles off the coast of the U.S., as it heads toward the island. Another senior defense official told Fox News that while the Pentagon is tracking the Russian intel ship, the Russian ship “remains in international waters.” When asked if the U.S. had similar spy ships off the coast of Russia, he answered, “Of course we do, what do you think all those ‘oceanographic ships’ are doing, studying whales?”

The troubles in China have sent the prices of commodities such as oil and copper sliding. The falls have hit exporters of commodities, such as Brazil and Russia, particularly hard. The IMF’s warning comes ahead of a meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bankers in Ankara on Friday and Saturday. The IMF said that the problems could lead to “much weaker outlook” for global growth. However, the fund still expects the global economy to expand by 3.3% this year, slightly lower than 3.4% in 2014. The US is forecast to grow by 2.5%, up from 2.4% in 2014, the eurozone should expand by 1.5%, nearly double the 0.8% seen last year, while China should expand by 6.8%, down from 7.4%. The IMF called on China to keep reforming its economy despite the recent falls in the stock markets on the mainland.

Headline: U.S. Stocks Decline as Jobs Report Brings Little Clarity on Fed
Headline: Record 94,031,000 Americans Not in Labor Force
August payrolls data gave little comfort to U.S. stock investors seeking direction on interest rates amid volatile global markets and growing concern about the economy’s strength. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index lost 1.6 percent to 1,920.76 at 12:35 p.m. in New York. The benchmark index is poised for a 3.4 percent decline for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 282.54 points, or 1.7 percent, to 16,092.22. Equity markets will be closed Monday for Labor Day. In the U.S. stock market, the S&P 500 is poised for its sixth decline exceeding 1 percent in 12 days. Prior to that there’d been 10 such declines since January. The benchmark gauge has moved up or down by an average of more than 2 percent a day since falling out of its 2015 trading range on Aug. 20 — almost four times as much as in the prior nine months. September is historically the worst month of the year for the S&P 500, with the equity gauge falling 1.1 percent on average based on data going back to 1927, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “There’s a risk-off mentality rather than a risk-on one going into a three-day weekend for the U.S. and after the Chinese markets have been closed for four days,” Mark Spellman, a fund manager who helps oversee $4.2 billion at
Alpine Funds in Purchase, New York, said by phone. “The weakness in the market is due primarily to continued global growth concerns.” Financial markets have been unable to shake off volatility that’s jolted markets amid concern China’s slowdown will spread. The Dow yesterday erased a rally of nearly 200 points as optimism over the European Central Bank’s revamp of quantitative easing faded. The gauge surged 1.8 percent Wednesday after tumbling 2.8 percent the day before.

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: Sierra Leone village in quarantine after Ebola death
Nearly 1,000 people in Sierra Leone have been put under quarantine following the death of a 67-year-old woman who tested positive for Ebola. It comes five days into a six-week countdown for the country to be officially declared Ebola-free. The quarantine will last for three weeks, provided no new cases are recorded. More than 11,000 people have died since the start of the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia. The BBC’s Umaru Fofana in the capital, Freetown, says the authorities had been optimistic after a long period without any new Ebola cases and this caught them off-guard. Our correspondent says the quarantine is stricter than previous ones. It includes a curfew in which people will not be allowed to move from one house to another. Soldiers and police have been deployed to keep the quarantine in Sellakaffta, a village in Kambia on the northern border with Guinea.

Headline: IS forces Syrian Christians to pledge to abide by Islamic rules, pay special tax
The Islamic State group is forcing Christians in the Syrian territory it controls to sign a contract for dhimma (non-Muslims), restricting external expressions of their faith and agreeing to pay a jizya tax levied on those who do not follow Islam. The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which monitors the Arab media, says that the Islamic State’s media office in the Damascus province on Thursday published a photo report showing Christians in the town of Al-Qaryatayn in central Syria signing the contract, which it says requires signatories “to pay the jizya poll tax, abide by Islamic rules and refrain from certain activities.” In exchange, MEMRI says, the contract offers certain protections for Christians, including a guarantee that they will come to no harm and will not be forced to convert. The contract adds that anyone found to be in violation of any of the articles in the 11-point contract will be “treated as a combatant.” The clauses in the contract include a ban on Christians building churches, monasteries, or hermitages in the town or the environs; a ban on displaying the cross or any books in the Muslims’ streets or markets; and a prohibition against ringing church bells outside of their churches. The contract also warns against “any act of aggression against ISIS, such as giving refuge to spies and wanted men,” and demands that signatories report “any plot against Muslims.” In addition, the contract states that “wealthy Christians must pay an annual jizya of four gold dinars; middle-class Christians must pay two gold dinars, and the poor must pay one.” The jizya can be divided into two payments, the contract says.

Increase in Drugs Revelation 9:21 “And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.”
In Revelation 9:21 we see Jesus speaking to us about drug’s. The words “sorceries” in Revelation 9:21 is the Greek word pharmakia from which comes our word “pharmacy”. It signifies the use of medicine, drugs, spells, such as those used in witchcraft and those used today by those who are seeking a greater “high”. This generation was to be labeled a drug generation and we are.
Headline: The danger of Devil’s Breath
Walking through the cosmopolitan streets of Paris’s 20th arrondissement, not far from rock star Jim Morrison’s tomb, a respectable, elderly lady is approached by a Chinese woman asking for directions. As the pair bend over a map, the Chinese woman blows a tiny dust cloud of white powder into the face of the helpful Parisian. What happens next is like something from a horror film. For, unbeknown to the victim, this white powder is Devil’s Breath, a substance so toxic and powerful that it turns everyone who ingests it into what investigators call ‘zombies’, devoid of their own free will. Indeed, so suggestible does it make its victims that South American tribes used to administer the drug to the wives of dead chiefs, who, under tribal tradition, had to be buried alive with their husbands after they died. Taken from the seeds of a plant which grows wild in Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela — related to deadly nightshade — the drug meant these women could be persuaded to walk happily into the graves to their gruesome deaths. Now, in a series of cases that have horrified police, the drug is being used by criminal gangs in Europe to drug unsuspecting victims who are then easily persuaded to hand over their most valuable possessions.

Headline: Lawmaker: Synthetic weed leaving streets full of ‘zombies’
State and city legislators joined forces on Thursday to demand that online retailers such as eBay and Craigslist stop selling the dangerous synthetic marijuana known as K2 (and Spice). “The Internet has become a virtual bodega and a chemist’s warehouse,” state Sen. Jeff Klein, a Bronx Democrat, said at a Manhattan press conference. “These are things that we can find in grocery stores and bodegas around our city, and now you can actually get them delivered to your front door.” Klein and other lawmakers sent letters to the CEOs of several Internet retailers, asking that they take down ads for the potent substances and “better monitor the classifieds.” The move comes as the state plans to increase penalties for those selling the items in stores. “It is a dangerous, unpredictable and illegal substance and for too long unscrupulous stores and online marketplaces have profited,” said City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, who has led the fight to rid K2 from her East Harlem community.
