Explosion in Gaza home used for weapons storage injures dozens
An explosion destroyed a home in Gaza Saturday morning as terrorists attempted to prepare explosives to purportedly attack Israel, according to an IDF tweet. The explosion took place in the home of a Hamas operative and at least 30 were injured in the explosion, according to Israeli media. Pictures posted on Twitter by the IDF showed the massive extent of damage to the house from the blast. Avichay Adraee, the IDF spokesperson for Arabic media, said on Twitter that the explosion was a result of storing weapons in the house. Adraee went on to say that “the story of the house is the story of many homes in the Gaza Strip,” that are being used for weapons storage. “They have turned [homes] into warehouses of weapons, military parts and missiles for terrorist organizations and the people who pay the price in the end are the innocent civilians,” Adraee said.

Anti-Israel rally attracting tens of thousands held in Pakistan
An anti-Israel “million man march” took place in the Pakistani capital of Karachi this week, according to video circulating on social media. The Algemeiner reported that the rally was put together by the right-wing Islamist party Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl. The JUI-F is against the notion of normalization between Pakistan and Israel. The thousands of participants could be seen donning the colors of the JUI-F, raising tall black and white striped flags as they marched down a Karachi street. The crowd itself was addressed by party leader Fazal-ur-Rehman, who also heads a coalition of parliament members that directly opposes the current Pakistani government.

Blast heard in Riyadh as Saudi Arabia intercepts ‘hostile target’
Mysterious Group Claims Responsibility For Recent Attack On Saudi Capital
Saudi Arabia intercepted an apparent missile or drone attack over Riyadh on Saturday, said state media in the kingdom, which has come under repeated attacks from Yemen’s Houthi rebels since 2015. Social media users posted videos of what appeared to be an explosion in the air over Riyadh. The incident came at about 11am (08:00 GMT). The Saudi Arabia-led coalition, which backs Yemen’s internationally recognised government against the Houthis, said it “intercepted and destroyed a hostile air target going towards Riyadh”, without elaborating, according to state-run Al Ekhbariya television station. The Houthis did not immediately acknowledge launching a missile or a drone towards Riyadh on Saturday. Riyadh’s King Khaled International Airport said there were a number of flight delays, but it was not immediately clear if they were linked to Saturday’s incident. The US embassy in Riyadh issued a warning to Americans calling on them to “stay alert in case of additional future attacks”. The rebels have yet to comment on the incident, which comes only days after Joe Biden was sworn-in as the US president, replacing Donald Trump. According to the new US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, the Biden administration will quickly revisit the designation of Yemen’s Houthi rebels as “terrorists”.

Syrian state media: Israeli warplanes strike Syria, kill 4
Syrian state media said Israeli warplanes fired several missiles toward central Syria early on Friday, killing a family of four — including two children — and wounding four other people. There was no immediate comment from Israel on the claim. Separately, the Israeli military said it downed a drone that had crossed into Israel from Lebanon. It did not say how the aircraft was brought down. There was no immediate word from the Lebanese side but the militant Hezbollah group has sent drones into Israel’s airspace in the past. Syria’s state-news agency SANA quoted an unnamed military official as saying the missile attack took place shortly before dawn when Israeli warplanes flew over neighboring Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office declined to comment on the reports Friday. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitoring group that tracks Syria’s civil war, said the strikes targeted five posts for Iran-backed fighters based within Syrian army positions. It said the posts were destroyed, adding that parts of one of the air defense missiles fell on a residential area, causing the casualties among civilians.

ISIS Terrorists Kill or Injure Soldiers in Another Ambush in Central Syria
On January 24, ISIS cells ambushed a bus carrying soldiers of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) on the Homs-Deir Ezzor highway in the central region. In an official statement, the SAA said the bus was attacked by a terrorist group that came from the southeastern area of al-Tanf, which is occupied by US forces. According to the army’s statement, three soldiers were killed and at least ten others were wounded as a result of the ambush. ISIS confirmed its responsibility for the attack in a statement released by its news agency, Amaq. The terrorist group claimed that 20 soldiers were injured or killed. Last month, a similar ambush by ISIS cells on the Homs-Deir Ezzor highway, known as the M20, claimed the lives of 25 people, including civilians. In response, Syrian government forces launched a large-scale operation to secure the highway last week. According to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, as of January 24 the operation is still ongoing. Russian forces allegedly provide support not only in the air, but also on the ground.

Iraqi Fighters Killed, Injured in Large ISIS Attack in Saladin
Late on January 23, 11 fighters of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) were killed and 12 others were injured in a large ISIS attack in the northern province of Saladin. The attack took place in Jazzerat al-‘Aith in the eastern part of the province. In a statement, the PMU said ISIS terrorists were planning to attack civilians in the region. However, the attack was foiled by its fighters. All casualties were from the PMU’s 22th Brigade. Two of the casualties were Hussein Su’aidan Kati’a, the commander of the brigade’s 3rd regiment, and Saleh Majhul Ateh, the deputy-commander of the 6th regiment. Maj. Gen. Yehia Rasool, a spokesman for the Iraqi Commander-in-Chief, condemned the attack promising that the Iraqi military will respond. From its side, ISIS bragged about the attack in a statement shared by its news agency, Amaq. The group claimed that eight vehicles were damaged or destroyed in the attack. The deadly terrorist attack in Saladin came amid high tensions in Iraq between pro-Iran Shiite factions and the US-led coalition.

Dutch police detain 240 nationwide as anti-lockdown protests turn violent
Rioters looted stores, set fires and clashed with police in several Dutch cities on Sunday, resulting in more than 240 arrests, police and Dutch media reported. The unrest came on the second day of new, tougher coronavirus restrictions, including a night curfew, which had prompted demonstrations. Police used water cannon, dogs and mounted officers to disperse a protest in central Amsterdam on Sunday afternoon, witnesses said. Nearly 200 people, some of them throwing stones and fireworks, were detained in the city, police said. National broadcaster NOS said riot police had been deployed in at least 10 cities and towns after a curfew went into effect at 9 p.m. (2000 GMT). Vehicles were set alight, police were pelted with stones and public property was destroyed, it reported. Military police said on Twitter on Sunday night that they were supporting local police in at least two cities in the south. On Saturday night, police had arrested 25 people across the country and handed out 3,600 fines for curfew violations.

Dozens Detained Protesting Against Nepal Parliament’s Dissolution
Police used batons and water cannon Monday to disperse hundreds of people protesting in Kathmandu against the dissolution of Nepal’s parliament. Political tensions have been rising in the Himalayan nation since Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli dismissed the legislature in December, accusing members of his Communist Party of non-cooperation. Oli has called elections for April and May, but protests have spread across the country of 28 million people. Police said they arrested 26 demonstrators who gathered near the prime minister’s residence to call Oli’s move “unconstitutional” and demand the reinstatement of parliament. Police spokesman Basanta Bahadur Kunwar told AFP the 26 were detained after a clash as demonstrators moved towards a restricted area near the residence. Police used batons and water cannons to disperse the crowd of about 500, witnesses said. Several were injured.

Antifa, BLM Vandalize ICE Building, Burn Original Starbucks
Antifa rioters smash up Tacoma in rampage over cop driving through crowd
Latest Portland anti-ICE protest prompts federal law enforcement response
National Guard to keep 5,000 troops in DC until March
Across the U.S., left-wing groups ‘Antifa’ and ‘BLM’ are continuing to disrupt public order following the inauguration of Joe Biden. In a tweet on Sunday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said he expects Democrat lawmakers to condemn the latest looting and rioting in Oregon and Washington State. The senator referred to reports by law enforcement in those states. He said hundreds of far-left activists attacked federal buildings and burnt the original ‘Starbucks.’ Democrats have been quiet on those attacks while condemning Republicans for protests in Washington D.C. on January 6. At least 20 people were arrested during those riots. Meanwhile, An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Ore., was once again the target of protesters on Saturday night, according to news reports and posts on social media. Law enforcement officers from the Federal Protective Service were heard declaring an “unlawful assembly” around 10 p.m. local time and ordering the crowd to leave the area. The FPS is a unit of the Department of Homeland Security. The same ICE building was targeted Wednesday, hours after the inauguration of President Biden in Washington. That night, some members of a crowd of about 150 rioters caused damage to the ICE building and also marched against the state headquarters of the Democratic Party. One Portland business owner appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Friday morning, saying the nearly nightly protests in Oregon’s largest city over the past year have been “devastating” for businesses and residents. “They come out here and they just literally destroy whatever they can, throwing things around,” Stacey Gibson said. “They’re just going to pick it up and throw it wherever they can. The damage that happens to the businesses down there is just devastating.”

Taiwan reports large incursion by Chinese warplanes for second day
Taiwan has reported a large incursion by Chinese warplanes for the second day running, a show of force that coincides with the first days of US President Joe Biden’s term of office. Sunday’s operation involved 15 aircraft and followed a similar drill that led to a warning from Washington. China has carried out regular flights over the international waters between the southern part of Taiwan and the Taiwanese-controlled Pratas Islands in the South China Sea in recent months. But they are usually conducted by one to three reconnaissance or anti-submarine warfare aircraft, according to Taiwan. Taiwan’s defence ministry said eight Chinese bomber planes capable of carrying nuclear weapons, four fighter jets and one anti-submarine aircraft entered its self-declared south-western air defence identification zone on Saturday. Sunday’s operation involved 12 fighters, two anti-submarine aircraft and a reconnaissance plane, the ministry said. On both occasions, Taiwan’s air force warned away the aircraft and deployed air defence missile systems to monitor the planes.

The Dollar’s Crash Is Only Just Beginning
Major COVID Related Supply Chain Shocks Incoming
After an initial spike higher, the dollar has been falling steadily since the Covid-19 pandemic took hold in the U.S. last March. It is down about 10% to 12% relative to America’s major trading partners, dropping to its weakest levels since early 2018 as measured by several of the broad dollar indexes. There is more to come. Based on a wildly unpopular forecast that I made in June of a 35% decline in the value of the dollar by the end of 2021, we are only in the third inning of a nine-inning baseball game. There were three main reasons why I argued the dollar would fall: 1) a sharp widening in the U.S. current-account deficit, 2) the rise of the euro, and 3) a Federal Reserve that would do little in response to any weakness in the greenback. On each of these counts, I have greater conviction on the weak-dollar call today than I did six months ago.

Biden to issue executive order reversing Pentagon’s transgender ban
President Joe Biden is set to issue an executive order to reverse a Pentagon policy that largely bars transgender individuals from joining the military, dumping a ban ordered by President Donald Trump in a tweet during his first year in office, a person briefed on the decision tells The Associated Press. Biden has been widely expected to overturn the Trump policy in his early days in office. The White House could announce the move as early as Monday, according to the person briefed on the decision who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the order. The move to reverse the policy has the support of Biden’s newly confirmed defense secretary, retired Army Gen. Lloyd Austin, who spoke of the need to overturn it during his Senate confirmation hearing last week.

Massive locust swarms attack Saudi Arabia, bigger invasion ongoing in the Horn of Africa
Massive locust swarms have invaded Saudi Arabia while a bigger and deadlier attack is ongoing in the Horn of Africa, which is set to descend on large parts of Ethiopia and Kenya, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warned Sunday, January 24, 2021. In Saudi Arabia, locust swarms hit areas along the coast from Jizan to Lith, extending nearly to Duba on the north coast. Control operations are in progress, particularly against second instar hopper groups and a few bands. Footages on social media show the insects blanketing the skies, highways, and wide fields. Meanwhile, FAO warned Sunday that dry weather conditions across the Horn of Africa region are expected to facilitate locust swarms, making the invasion in Kenya bigger and deadlier. About 15 out of 47 counties in Kenya have been affected so far. “As conditions remain dry in some areas, the swarms are expected to disperse throughout southern and northern Ethiopia as well as north-central Kenya,” FAO wrote in its latest report. “Any rainfall that occurs in the coming weeks will cause swarms to mature and lay eggs that will hatch and give rise to hopper bands during February and March.”

480,000 Killed By Extreme Weather in the Last 20 Years: Analysis
Almost half a million people have died in natural disasters linked to extreme weather events in the last 20 years, according to a new assessment of the direct threat posed to humanity by climate change. The mortality burden of climate-related catastrophes such as storms, flooding and heatwaves is overwhelmingly borne by developing countries. At the start of the Climate Adaptation Summit, held virtually this year due to the pandemic, the think tank Germanwatch calculated that these disasters have cost the global economy a staggering $2.56 trillion this century. An analysis of more than 11,000 extreme weather events showed nearly 480,000 fatalities since 2000, with Puerto Rico, Myanmar and Haiti the worst hit countries, it said.
