Headline: High Court orders release of hunger-striker from administrative detention
The High Court of Justice ordered the release of Palestinian prisoner and hunger-striker Muhammad Allan from his administrative detention Wednesday night due to his deteriorating medical condition, including the revelation Wednesday afternoon that his brain had been damaged. A spokeswoman for the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, where Allan is being treated, said he had returned to a coma late Wednesday evening following a deterioration in his condition. A lawyer for Allan told Reuters that the detainee had ended his 65-day hunger strike on Wednesday night following the High Court ruling. “The story is over, administrative detention is canceled, and therefore there is no strike,” said lawyer Jameel Khatib.

Headline: Islamic Jihad shot rockets at Israel’s north on Iran’s behalf, IDF says
Headline: First Iran-backed Golan rocket attack on Israel
Four rockets landed in northern Israel Thursday afternoon after being shot from Syria, sparking fires but causing no injuries. The rockets landed in the northern Galilee and Golan Heights, the Israeli military said in a statement. The army blamed Palestinian terror group Islamic Jihad for the rocket fire, saying it was done with “Iranian money and intention.” “We consider Syria to be responsible for the fire and it will also suffer the results,” the army said in a statement slightly after 8 p.m. The statement was followed by reports of Israeli shelling in Syria, according to Israel’s Army Radio. The rockets landed after sirens sounded in several communities around Israel’s north at about 5:45 p.m. The Israeli military confirmed in a statement that “four rockets were launched from the Syrian Golan Heights, landing in the upper Galilee and the Israeli Golan Heights.” No injuries were reported, the army said. Members of Islamic Jihad, which is known to have rockets in Gaza, had threatened to attack Israel earlier in the week over the fate of hunger striking Palestinian detainee Mohammed Allaan, who it says is part of the terror group. The army placed Iron Dome anti-missile batteries around the southern cities of Ashdod and Beersheba in response.

Headline: Israel to West: ‘Your Partner Iran Attacked Us; Your Response?’
Israel said it killed at least five Palestinian militants in an air strike on the Syrian Golan Heights on Friday, after cross-border rocket fire from Syria prompted the heaviest Israeli bombardment since the start of Syria’s four-year-old civil war. An Israeli defense official said the people killed in Friday’s air strike were Palestinian militants from the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad. “We now know of five or six Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists killed,” the official said. A Syrian army source said the strike, at 10.30 am, hit a car in a village in the Syrian Golan Heights, killing five civilians. State television quoted the source as saying it took place near Quneitra, close to the Israeli-occupied section of the Golan region. “I said it just this week– anyone who tries to harm us, we will harm them. And so we did,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “The IDF killed the forces responsible for the rocket attacks and the Syrians who allowed it to happen. We have no intention to escalate the situation but our policy remains the same,” he said.

Headline: Khaled Meshal: Hamas Talks With Israel Look ‘Very Positive’
Hamas’ political chief, Khaled Meshal, has confirmed that his organization and Israel are engaged in negotiations over a long-term truce via several mediators, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. In an excerpt from an interview with a London-based Qatari newspaper, Meshal said that while the talks have yet to produce an agreement, Hamas sees them as “very positive.” Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bureau vehemently denied that Israel and Hamas were engaged in any kind of negotiations – either directly or indirectly. Meshal confirmed in an interview to the newspaper Al-Arabi al-Jadeed, part of which was published on Friday that the Quartet’s former Middle East envoy Tony Blair and others had raised proposals for a cease-fire, but he didn’t explain whether the proposals were raised with Israel’s knowledge or are independent initiatives. In response to repeated reports in the Palestinian and Arab media about contacts between Israel and Hamas regarding a cease-fire agreement, the Prime Minister’s Office published a denial at the beginning of the week, to the effect that “there are no meetings with Hamas, nor are there contacts, whether direct or indirect, with the organization.” But an involved Israeli source said after the publication of the response that “Israel is not conducting cease-fire negotiations with Hamas, but it is definitely conducting a feasibility investigation.” Recently Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas claimed that Israel and Hamas have been conducting clandestine meetings for the past eight months in an African country. In response, an Egyptian security source told Haaretz that the cease-fire agreement that was drawn up at the conclusion of Operation Protective Edge is the only one on the table and that both sides recognize it. “If there’s any progress, it must be based on this agreement,” said the source.

Lebanon
Headline: Security Council extends UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon for another year
Determining that the situation in Lebanon continues to constitute a threat to international peace and security, the Security Council today decided to extend the present mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) for one year, until 31 August 2016. In a unanimously adopted resolution, the 15-member body “strongly” called upon all parties to respect the cessation of hostilities, to prevent any violation of the Blue Line and to respect it “in its entirety.” They urged further international support for the Lebanese Armed Forces, in areas where they are most critically in need of support, including counter-terrorism and border protection. Recognizing that UNIFIL deployment, together with the Lebanese Armed Forces, has helped to establish a “new strategic environment” in southern Lebanon, the Security Council calls for further cooperation between them, in particular regarding coordinated and adjacent patrols. The resolution adopted today also urged all parties to abide “scrupulously” by their obligation to respect the safety of UNIFIL and to ensure that the Mission’s freedom of movement is “fully respected and unimpeded.” The Government of Israel is urged to expedite the withdrawal of its army from northern Ghajar “without further delay” in coordination with UNIFIL.

Headline: Egyptian security building in Cairo rocked by bomb blast
Headline: Daesh (ISIS) claims Cairo courthouse bomb which wounded 30
A powerful car bomb has exploded outside a state security building in northern Cairo, Egyptian security officials say. The blast, which was felt across large parts of the Egyptian capital, injured 29 people, six of them police. The explosion happened in the early hours of Thursday morning. There were no reports of any deaths. The militant group Islamic State (IS) says it carried out the attack “to avenge Muslim martyrs”. The statement was not attributed to IS’s known branch in Egypt, Sinai Province, but simply had a logo reading “Islamic State, Egypt”. A BBC correspondent in Cairo reports a heavy police presence on the streets. Residents across Cairo reported hearing and feeling a large blast just before 02:00 local time (00:00 GMT). There have been several bomb attacks by Islamist militants in Cairo this year. “A man suddenly stopped his car in front of the state security building, jumped out of it and fled on a motorbike that followed the car,” a ministry statement said. “The car exploded wounding six policemen,” it added. The blast left a crater in the street and partially destroyed the building. Locals said glass from blown-out windows was strewn across several streets nearby.

Iraq Headline: Thousands rally in Iraq to demand reforms, better services
Thousands rallied in Iraq’s capital and a string of other cities to press demands for reforms, better services and an end to corruption. Friday’s rallies were the latest in a series of peaceful gatherings over the past month to demand change. Baghdad’s rally attracted up to 10,000, many waving Iraq’s red, white and black flags and chanting the national anthem. There were much smaller rallies in the southern city of Basra and the holy Shiite cities of Najaf and Karbala south of Baghdad. In Baghdad, hundreds of army and police cordoned off the rally, sealing off roads leading to the rally in the central Tahrir Square as army helicopters hovered above. In response to the rallies, Shiite Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has won parliamentary support to trim his bloated government and vowed to fight corruption.

Iraq Headline: Islamic State attacks Iraqi troops near Fallujah
The Islamic State killed more than a dozen Iraq of soldiers and policemen in an attack near Fallujah in Anbar province, where the government has been trying to dislodge the group for the past year. The Associated Press reported that the Islamic State attacked Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) positions outside of Fallujah on Aug 16. According to the AP, “four suicide attackers drove explosives-laden military vehicles into government forces’ barricades.” The assault coincided with the release of an Islamic State video that showcases its forces overrunning a military outpost in Saqlawiyah near Fallujah. The video, which is from 2014, shows jihadists attacking the base with armored personnel carriers packed with explosives and a ground assault team. The Islamic State seized tanks, armored personnel carriers, Humvees, and other vehicles. The bodies of dozens of dead Iraqi security personnel are displayed.

Headline: Military official: Early tests show traces of mustard gas agent in ISIS attack
Concerns flared Friday that the Islamic State has its hands on chemical weapons, after a senior military official confirmed preliminary tests show traces of sulfur mustard on mortars fired by ISIS militants. U.S. Brig. Gen. Kevin Killea, chief of staff for the military operations in Iraq and Syria, said the field testing into whether mustard gas was used is not conclusive, so final tests are underway to get the full make-up of the chemicals. But he said the early tests showed the chemical agent on fragments from mortar rounds fired on Aug. 11 against Kurdish Peshmerga forces in Iraq. The attack was the first reported incident of ISIS using chemical weapons since the terror group came to prominence last year. Suspicions were first raised last week, as U.S. officials pointed to evidence of possible mustard gas in the attack. One official who had seen the latest intelligence reports from the region told Fox News last Thursday that the victims had “blisters” matching the symptoms of other victims of mustard gas. Killea told Pentagon reporters on Friday that Kurdish forces brought the mortar fragments to U.S. forces for testing, so there may be questions about the chain of custody of the evidence. But senior U.S. officials earlier told The Wall Street Journal that ISIS may have obtained the mustard gas in Syria, where the Damascus government admitted to having large stockpiles of the chemical when it agreed to give up its chemical weapons arsenal in 2013.

Headline: ISIS AIDS-bombs: Plans to send 16 HIV-positive fighters on suicide missions – report
The Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorist group plans to send 16 of its fighters on suicide missions after they were tested positive for AIDS, a Syrian source claimed. The fighters are currently in quarantine in a hospital in the city of Mayadeen in the eastern Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor, the Kurdish Syrian ARA news reported. “Most of those infected are foreign militants who had sexual intercourse with two Moroccan women. The women passed on the disease to the militants before their infection was revealed. We were ordered by the group’s local leadership to transfer the infected militants to a quarantine center in the city,” the agency cited a local Syrian doctor as saying. The leaders of the group ordered screen tests for AIDS for their troops in the province and are planning to get rid of those who are infected, the report said. “IS leadership is planning to assign suicide attacks for its militants who are tested positive with AIDS,” a civil rights activist in al-Mayadeen told the agency. The report said a similar outbreak of AIDS happened in the IS-controlled city of Shaddadi in Hasakah province in the spring, after an Indonesian fighter passed the disease to a sex slave who was later sold on. The man, who also donated blood for transfusion, was reportedly executed in June.

Headline: Islamic State’s path of destruction through Syria and Iraq
The Islamic State group’s demolition of the Saint Elian Monastery in the central Syrian province of Homs is the latest in a long campaign that has destroyed or extensively damaged some of the Middle East’s most spectacular archaeological and cultural sites. Some of the world’s most precious cultural treasures, including ancient sites in the cradle of civilisation, are in areas controlled by the group and at the mercy of extremists bent on wiping out all non-Islamic culture and history. In addition to pre-Islamic sites, the militants have also targeted churches, mosques and museums. The rampage, targeting priceless cultural artefacts often spanning thousands of years, has sparked global outrage and accusations of war crimes. The militants are also believed to be selling ancient artefacts on the black market in order to finance their bloody campaign across the region. In May, the extremists captured the central Syrian town of Palmyra raising fears they would demolish the 2,000-year-old Roman-era city at the edge of the town – a Unesco world heritage site and one of the Middle East’s most iconic archaeological sites. Here’s a look at some of the major sites destroyed by Isil in Iraq and Syria, and others under their control: (please click link below to see photos)

Turkey
Headline: Turkey to Return to Elections in November
Turkey will go to snap elections, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Friday, after Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu returned the mandate to form a government earlier this week. Elections are expected to be held on November 1, 2015. Davutoglu, who is also the chairman of the Islamist Justice and Development (AK) Party, told Erdogan that despite his best efforts he could not find any possibility to form a coalition government. The ruling party came first in elections in June but lost its parliamentary majority for the first time in more than a decade, forcing it to seek a coalition partnership. Coalition-building efforts with Turkey’s pro-secular party had collapsed last week. AKP was given the option of allowing another party – main opposition party the Republican People’s Party (CHP) – the chance to form a government, but Erdogan has apparently decided to favor another chance to regain AKP’s former power. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wanted to change the constitution to grant him greater powers than he currently wields – a chance that was lost after the June elections.

Iran
Headline: Iran welcomes U.N. peace plan for Syria
Iran Thursday welcomed a U.N. peace plan aimed at ending the four-year war in its ally Syria, saying President Bashar Assad’s regime needed to be directly involved. “This new plan is seen as a step by regional and international players toward a better understanding of the reality on the ground and on the political level,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham was quoted as saying by news agency ISNA. “The people and government of Syria have the key role in this process,” she said. Iran is Assad’s key regional ally, providing him with financial and military support. On Monday the U.N. Security Council adopted a new push for peace talks in Syria, which was also endorsed by Russia, another key ally of the Damascus regime, and the other 14 member states. The peace initiative, set to begin in September, would set up four working groups to address safety and protection, counterterrorism, political and legal issues and reconstruction. The council demanded all sides work for an end to the war by “launching a Syrian-led political process leading to a political transition that meets the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people.” It also mentions the creation of “an inclusive transitional governing body.” The adoption came amid a flurry of diplomatic activity by Russia, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Iran to try to advance prospects for ending the war that has left at least 240,000 dead. Representatives of the Syrian domestic opposition tolerated by Damascus will jet in to Moscow for talks Sunday.

Headline: Afghanistan’s strongman vice-president fights off Taliban ambush
The new leader of the Taliban has met influential clerics seeking to heal a rift after the death of founder Mullah Omar, in the latest gathering to anger the Afghan government, which accuses Pakistan of allowing militants to meet on its territory. Several key Taliban commanders pledged allegiance to Mullah Akhtar Mansour after his swift appointment to lead the armed Islamist movement in July, but other senior figures, including Omar’s son, reject the way he was selected. “These clerics tried to remove differences between Mansour and other Taliban members,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told Reuters, referring to Thursday’s meeting. “They listened to each other’s viewpoint, but didn’t reach a conclusion.” Combined with a chill between the neighbors after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani indirectly blamed Pakistan for a spate of deadly bombings in Kabul, the leadership tussle has dashed short-term hopes of a new round of Taliban peace talks. The council of clerics will rule in the next few days on whether Mansour should remain the Taliban’s chief, said sources in the movement, who declined to be identified as the topic is sensitive.

Headline: Sudan’s Bashir offers rebels two-month ceasefire, sets date for dialogue
Media organizations in Sudan imposed a 24-hour news blackout on Friday to demand a full investigation into the killing of a newspaper reporter and assurances of safety for journalists working in the war-torn nation, officials from media associations said. Peter Julius Moi Moi is the seventh journalist to be killed in South Sudan this year. He was shot twice in the back Wednesday by unknown gunmen just days after President Salva Kiir reportedly threatened to kill journalists working “against the country.” Alfred Taban, the head of the Association for Media Development in South Sudan, said the blackout— from noon Friday to Saturday— should raise awareness among the public that the government is not safeguarding journalists and their rights. Edward Terso Loku, general secretary of the Union of Journalists of South Sudan, said journalists want their own representative to take part in the investigation into Moi’s murder, noting that results of official investigations into previous killings of reporters have not been released. Earlier this month, two newspapers said the government stopped their operations in an apparent crackdown on the independent media. Moi was shot dead in the Jebel area of the capital, Juba. Otieno Ogeda, chief executive officer of Corporate Weekly whom Moi reported for, said Thursday. The media house had not received threats over recent articles Moi wrote, including two that focused on the scaling back of operations of South Sudan’s only brewery. The body was found near the brewery, but Moi also lived in the same area.

Headline: Migrants clash with Macedonian police on border with Greece
Macedonian police fired stun grenades Friday to disperse thousands of migrants stuck in a no man’s land with Greece, a day after Macedonia’s government declared a state of emergency on the border to halt a human tide heading north to the European Union. About 3,000 migrants who spent the night in the open made several attempts to charge the police — and some hurled stones at the Macedonian forces. At least eight people were injured in the melee, according to Greek police. Machine-gun toting police backed by armored vehicles spread coils of razor wire over rail tracks used by migrants to cross on foot from Greece to Macedonia. On Thursday, Macedonia shut the border to crossings. Hours after Friday’s clashes, however, Macedonian police started letting small groups of families with children cross the border by walking along railway tracks to a station in the Macedonian town of Gevgelija, where most take trains to the border with Serbia.

Headline: Saudi Arabia Plans to Expand Yemen Offensive
The latest heavy fighting in a key southern Yemeni city has killed 58 civilians and wounded at least 50, medical officials said Friday, reporting the casualties from the previous day.
According to the officials, rebel shelling in the city of Taiz first killed 23 civilians, which provoked airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition that has been targeting the Shiite rebels, also known as Houthis, since March. The subsequent airstrikes killed 35 people and demolished five houses in the eastern neighborhood of Sala, from where the rebels launched their attacks. Of those killed, at least 10 were children, they added, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters. Meanwhile, in the port city of Aden, witnesses on the Gold Mohur beach said a masked group of armed men led six men in orange jumpsuits with their hands tied behind their backs onto a boat on Wednesday. The booby-trapped boat, they said, was dragged out to sea by another boat, before it was detonated remotely. The explosion killed the six captives, whose identities were not known, said the witnesses, speaking on condition of anonymity fearing for their own safety. Also Wednesday, Daesh-affiliated militants claimed an attack that killed a Yemeni soldier at a checkpoint in Hadramawt province. The Associated Press could not independently verify the claim, which was posted by Daesh sympathizers on Twitter on Thursday.

Headline: Far-left Greek politicians announce split from PM’s party as new election looms
Greece’s Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has announced he is resigning and has called an early election. Mr Tsipras, who was only elected in January, said he had a moral duty to go to the polls now a third bailout had been secured with European creditors. The election date is yet to be set but earlier reports suggested 20 September. Mr Tsipras will lead his leftist Syriza party into the polls, but he has faced a rebellion by some members angry at the bailout’s austerity measures. He had to agree to painful state sector cuts, including far-reaching pension reforms, in exchange for the bailout – and keeping Greece in the eurozone. Greece received the first €13bn ($14.5bn) tranche of the bailout on Thursday after it was approved by relevant European parliaments. It allowed Greece to repay a €3.2bn debt to the European Central Bank and avoid a messy default. The overall bailout package is worth about €86bn over three years. Alexis Tsipras made the announcement in a televised state address on Thursday. “The political mandate of the 25 January elections has exhausted its limits and now the Greek people have to have their say,” he said. “I want to be honest with you. We did not achieve the agreement we expected before the January elections.”

Headline: We Have Already Witnessed The First 1300 Points Of The Stock Market Crash Of 2015
The U.S. stock market endured its worst performance in 18 months on Thursday, driven lower by another slump in Chinese shares and heavy selling by technical traders. The global rout started in China, where sharp declines in energy and property stocks pushed the Shanghai Composite down more than 3 percent. That selling soon spread to European and U.S. markets, where the Standard & Poor’s 500 index moved further below a closely watched trading level. Investors, facing screens full of red, retreated to their usual places of safety: bonds, gold and cash. “The emerging markets really got slammed overnight and that quickly spread to the rest of the world,” said J.J. Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade. The Dow plunged 358.04 points, or 2.1 percent, to 16,990.69. The S&P 500 lost 43.88 points, or 2.1 percent, to 2,035.73 and the Nasdaq composite lost 141.56 points, or 2.8 percent, to 4,877.49. It was the biggest percentage decline for the Dow and S&P 500 since February 2014. The blue-chip average is now at its lowest level since October 2014.

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: Antibiotic-resistant ‘superbug’ found at California hospital
A Los Angeles-area hospital said Wednesday that some of its patients contracted an antibiotic-resistant “superbug” that has been linked to a type of medical scope and infected dozens of people around the country. Huntington Memorial Hospital said in a statement that it notified public health authorities after several patients who had procedures using Olympus Corp. duodenoscopes were found to have the resistant pseudomonas bacteria. The hospital said it has quarantined the scopes while it investigates whether they may be linked to the infections. The statement made no mention of the total number of infected patients or their conditions. However, the Los Angeles Times said ( http://lat.ms/1J5p3pl ) the problem was discovered in June and three patient infections have been reported to health officials. Drug-resistant bacterial infections around the country have been linked to contamination of the reusable scopes, which are used for a procedure known as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The fiber-optic scopes are placed down a patient’s throat and used to diagnose and treat gallstones, blockages and cancers of the digestive tract. “The patients who experienced the bacterial growth were very ill before they underwent the scope procedure, and the risk of the procedure was explained to each patient and family,” Huntington Memorial’s statement said. A dozen infections were reported earlier this year at Cedars-Sinai and UCLA’s Ronald Reagan medical centers in Los Angeles. Three patients died.

Headline: New cases of MERS reported in Saudi capital
Saudi authorities have shut off the emergency ward of one of the country’s largest hospitals after new cases of the deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) emerged in the capital, Riyadh. Saudi media quoted a Health Ministry official as saying that 46 new cases of MERS have been detected this week at a hospital located in Riyadh’s King Abdulaziz Medical City. The hospital has postponed all non-urgent operations and quarantined three wards for total isolation of new patients, as part of measures to contain the disease. The fresh emergence of MERS has raised serious concerns in some circles, both inside the country and abroad, that the virus could become endemic, threatening the more than two million visitors expected next month for the annual hajj pilgrimage.

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: North Korea orders troops on war footing after exchanging fire with South
South Korea has ordered the evacuation of residents from an area of its western border after an exchange of fire with North Korea, reports say. North Korea fired a shell at a South Korean military unit on Thursday, prompting the south to retaliate with several artillery rounds, the South’s defence ministry said. South Korea’s National Security Council is due to hold an emergency session. The western sea border has long been a flashpoint between the two Koreas. North Korea fired a projectile towards Yeoncheon, a town north-west of Seoul, at 15:52 local time (06:52 GMT), the defence ministry said. Reports suggest the target could have been a loudspeaker broadcasting anti-Pyongyang messages. The South then fired “dozens of rounds of 155mm shells” towards where they thought the rocket was launched from, the ministry added in a statement. There were no immediate reports of any injuries or damage on either side.

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. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,” Says the Lord of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch” (Malachi 4:1) Prophecy Sign: Drought Jeremiah 50:38 & Isaiah 42:15 “A drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up.

Headline: Thousands battle blazes across west
Three firefighters killed battling raging wildfires in Washington state were being mourned Friday across the state and the country, even as thinly stretched crews were joined by private citizens as they battled more than 100 fires in five states across the west. The fatalities came as some 29,000 firefighters, including responders from as far away as New Zealand, joined local crews in their struggles against fires that have consumed 11,000 square miles so far. Most of the ravaged land has been in Alaska, but an increase in fires in the Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington and California has caused competition for firefighting resources with some requests going unmet. Some fires have simply been unstoppable. Steve Ellis, deputy director of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, earlier this week flew over a 443-square-mile rangeland fire in southwest Idaho and said he could see where retardant bombers put in lines that the fire easily crossed. “What we’re getting now are much more intense fires because of all those years of suppression,” said John Freemuth, a Boise State University professor and a public lands expert. “Those kinds of intense fires are usually not allowed to burn.” Authorities issued a mandatory evacuation order for the north-central Washington town of Tonasket Thursday evening as wildfires fanned by high winds raged out of control. The Okanogan County Emergency Management department issued the order for the town of 1,000. Residents were told a shelter was open at Brewster High School.

Headline: Hurricane Danny strengthens to Category 3
Landslides and floods triggered by heavy rains from a powerful typhoon pummeling the northern Philippines left at least four dead Friday, including a 10-year-old boy, officials said.
Government forecaster Adzar Aurelio said Typhoon Goni was still at sea on Friday afternoon about 100 kilometers (62 miles) east of northern Calayan Island, with maximum sustained winds of 170 kilometers per hour (105 mph) and gusts of up to 205 kph (127 mph). The typhoon may pass over the tiny islands at the country’s northern tip. A landslide in northern Mountain province killed a 10-year-old boy and injured his 9-year-old brother, said civil defense official Andrew Alex Uy. In the adjacent province of Benguet, two brothers died in another landslide while seeking temporary shelter in Bakun town, he added. Other deaths included a man who was pinned by a tree, while two are missing in strong river currents.
