Headline: 5.2 Magnitude Earthquake Felt Throughout Israel
Tremors from a 5.2 magnitude earthquake were felt throughout Israel Saturday, at around 6:30 p.m. The earthquake’s epicenter was some four kilometers southeast of Nuweiba, in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula which borders southern Israel. But the tremors were felt throughout Israel as well, from Be’er Sheva, Arad and Eilat in the south, to Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and Rehovot in central Israel, and even as far north as Nahariya, Acco and Afula. No damage or injuries were caused. Flights from Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport were halted for ten minutes, due to the tremors which were felt there as well. After a series of checks on runways and technical equipment, flights were quickly resumed.

Headline: IDF Ready to Use Force – If Need Be – Against Flotilla
Headline: Flotilla MK Ghattas: Don’t Try And Stop Us
The IDF is scrambling to face the threats of another “Freedom Flotilla” arriving in Gaza Sunday, security officials revealed – and may have to use force. As of Sunday morning, the ‘Freedom Flotilla III’ is comprised of 47 people on 4 boats – Marianne with 18 people, the Rachel with 12 people, Vagoliano with 12 people, and the Vitrio with 9 people. Tens of activists are rumored to be attempting to join; a fifth ship is due to join as well, but as of Sunday morning has not. A security official explained Saturday night to Walla! News that the IDF is prepared to act with this flotilla as they did in the past – and hinted to the Mavi Marmara incident of 2010, where Shayetet 13 stormed the vessel after the flotilla ignored several demands to stand down. Israeli authorities discovered the vessel to be carrying no humanitarian aid – in fact, no aid supplies at all – indicating how the true goal of the provocative move was to open Gaza to free naval access, which it has consistently used to smuggle in weapons to be targeted against Israel.

Headline: Israeli navy peacefully intercepts Gaza-bound vessel
Israel’s navy intercepted a vessel attempting to breach a naval blockade of Gaza early Monday and was redirecting it to an Israeli port, the military and the activists said. The military said that after exhausting all diplomatic efforts the government ordered it to block the Swedish vessel. Israeli naval forces visited the Marianne ship and searched it in international waters without needing to use any force, the military said. The ship was carrying about 20 activists, including Israeli Arab lawmaker Basel Ghattas and former Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki. The Freedom Flotilla group posted a photo on Twitter apparently showing a group of its activists onboard a ship. It said in the post that Israeli forces intercepted the Marianne and it was currently en route to Ashdod port. Calls to Ghattas and his assistant rang unanswered.

Headline: Islamic Jihad Threatens to End Gaza Ceasefire
Headline: Palestinian Arab Hunger Striker to be Released
Israel last August 26 ended Operation Protective Edge by sealing a ceasefire agreement with a confederation of terrorist organizations in Gaza, foremost among them Hamas and Islamic Jihad, but that deal now appears to be on the brink of collapse. Khaled Al-Batash, a senior leader of the Islamic Jihad terrorist group, announced his organization may soon breach the agreement, in statements made during a speech to Islamic Jihad members at an event showing support for Khader Adnan, a jailed Islamic Jihad leader hunger-striking in an Israeli prison. Al-Batash said that if Adnan dies as a result of his hunger-strike, the ceasefire with Israel will end, and “the enemy, the security of its settlers and cities, will be the target of the Islamic Jihad.” “Khader Adnan may suddenly die at any moment, doctors have confirmed to me,” Jawad Boulos, legal counsel for the Ramallah-based Prisoners Club of the Palestinian Authority (PA) told AFP on Saturday. In 2012 Adnan was released from prison after a 66-day hunger strike.

Headline: France Pushes New Plan for Israel-PA Talks
France wants a new international group made up of the United States, European powers and Arab countries to be set up to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Monday. “It could be a sort of Quartet-plus,” Fabius told reporters, according to AFP, referring to the foursome led by former British prime minister Tony Blair that included the United States, Russia, the European Union. Fabius said including Arab states “makes sense” because they have a role to play in the peace process and have put forward a plan in 2002 that the foreign minister described as “interesting.” The 2002 Arab Peace Initiative calls for an Israeli withdrawal from Judea and Samaria in exchange for full normalization of ties between Israel and the Arab world. “It will be necessary to have an international accompanying body,” Fabius told reporters in New York where he was to attend a United Nations meeting on climate change.

Lebanon
Headline: Syria, Hizballah torpedo understanding between Druze and Syrian rebel Nusra Front near Israeli border
Syrian ruler Bashar Assad and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah have gone all out to stir up adversity between the Druze communities of the Golan and Israel, and the Syrian rebel Al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front. To torpedo the armistice deal brokered between them earlier this month by the US, Jordan and Israel, 200 Syrian and Hezbollah troops were pumped into the Druze village of Khader on the Syrian Golan, 3 km from the Israeli border. Since Friday, June 26, these troops have been attacking Nusra and the other Syrian rebel groups fighting to capture the Golan town of Quneitra. This has stalled the rebel operation for taking control of the highway to Damascus. Rockets from this battle strayed over to the Israeli side of Golan Sunday. debkafile’s military sources reveal that Nusra hit back over the weekend. They warned Druze leaders that if they don’t stop cooperating with Assad and Nasrallah, “their blood will be on their heads.” Fighters of this Islamist group then surrounded another, smaller Druze village, Skaska, on the western slopes of Jabal Druze and threatened to go in and massacre its inhabitants. The Nusra ultimatum, posted Saturday, June 28, made it clear that since Syrian and Hezbollah are firing against them from a Druze village, the Druze are held responsible for getting it stopped. Otherwise, they will be deemed collaborators of the Assad regime and in violation of the non-belligerence deal struck between them earlier this month. Our sources add that Syria and Hezbollah accompanied the 200-man force which infiltrated Khader, with Iranian and Syrian television crews and a group of Lebanese Druze members. The footage they showed was intended to demonstrate to the world that Lebanese Druze strongly challenged the Syrian rebel takeover of southern Syria including the Golan, and sided with Bashar Assad.

Headline: Car bomb attack kills Egypt’s top public prosecutor
Egypt’s top public prosecutor died of wounds sustained in a car bomb attack on his convoy as it was leaving his home on Monday, the most senior state official killed in militant violence since the toppling of an Islamist president two years ago. Monday’s attack stirred fears of yet more turmoil in Egypt, which has been struggling since the 2011 popular uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak to regain full-fledged stability and revive the economy of the Arab world’s most populous country. The bombing also showed the risk of militant Islam threatening the Egyptian state leadership as it did in the 1980s and 1990s.

Syria Headline: ISIS Suicide Bomb Kills 20 Syrian Regime Troops
Syria Headline: Islamic State uses US-made anti-tank missiles in Hasakah offensive
An Islamic State (ISIS) group suicide bomber killed at least 20 regime troops in Hasakeh city in northeast Syria on Friday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said, according to the AFP news agency. “The attack by a booby-trapped car targeted the criminal security service headquarters in the south of the city” where deadly clashes have been under way since Thursday, the Britain-based monitor said. The attack came hours after the Observatory said ISIS had killed 164 civilians in its offensive on the Kurdish town of Kobane, describing it as one of the jihadists’ “worst massacres” in Syria. The killing spree, which took place mostly inside Kobane itself, was widely seen as vengeance for a series of defeats inflicted on the jihadists by Kurdish militia in recent weeks. At least 120 civilians were killed in a 24-hour rampage on Kobane, and another 26 were executed in a nearby village, the Observatory said.

Syria Headline: ISIS raids kill 40 Syrian troops in central Syria: activists
ISIS militants have killed at least 40 Syrian government forces in consecutive attacks on three checkpoints in central Syria, activists said Saturday. In less than two hours of clashes on Friday, ISIS seized the checkpoints near Sheikh Hilal, a village in Syria’s Hama province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. “The clashes killed 40 government loyalists, including soldiers and members of the National Defense Forces,” a local pro-government militia, said Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman. He told AFP that the ISIS militants later withdrew from the checkpoints when it appeared that government forces in the region had called for reinforcements. “There’s fighting almost every day in this area, but usually the toll is two or three people. Forty is very high,” he told AFP. The checkpoints lie along a road used by government forces to dispatch reinforcements to Aleppo in the north, where the regime has been battling rebel groups since 2012. “If they seize control of this road, they’ll cut off the regime forces in Aleppo, since the government won’t be able to send reinforcements or supplies there,” Abdel Rahman said.

Syria Headline: Three killed in mortar attack on Damascus: Syrian state TV
A mortar bomb killed three people and wounded 12 more in a market place in northeast Damascus on Sunday, Syrian state television reported, after months of relative calm in the capital. The bomb exploded in a market in Saroujah district just northeast of the city center, the report said, citing a source in the capital’s police headquarters. It described it as a “terrorist attack” without giving further details. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but insurgents based in the Eastern Ghouta region near Damascus have carried out rocket and mortar bomb attacks on the capital in the past.

Headline: Turkey looking to construct more walls on Syrian border – officials
Headline: Erdogan Vows Turkey Will ‘Never Allow’ Kurdish State in Syria
Headline: Turkey readies Syria ground incursion
Turkey wants to construct more walls along its border with Syria to strengthen security against Islamic State militants and crack down on illegal border crossings, senior officials told Reuters on Saturday. Turkey shares a more than 900 km (560 mile) border with Syria, and much recent fighting has taken place on its doorstep. On Saturday Syrian Kurdish fighters secured the town of Kobani near the Turkish border, two days after Islamic State launched a deadly attack in the area. Turkey has already erected more than 10 km of walls along its borders, supported by additional measures such as thermal cameras. Now, the government wants to add to that and is considering adding portable concrete walls in some locations, two officials told Reuters. The portable walls, which are made up of concrete slabs, can be taken down and reassembled in different locations. Ankara decided that constructing a wall along the length of the border would be too costly. The officials declined to say how long a wall the government was looking to build, or where it would put it.

Headline: On eve of Iran deal, US retreats on inspections of nuclear past, speeds up sanctions relief
Former CIA Director Michael Hayden said Sunday that the United States has lost its edge going into the final days of a nuclear negotiation with Iran. “I would actually fear that the Iranians have the upper hand right now,” Hayden said on “Fox News Sunday.” “I actually fear we have painted ourselves into a corner where we believe that any deal is better than no deal at the present time.” Hayden said the framework of the deal doesn’t go far enough in preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear arsenal in the future. On Sunday, U.S. officials confirmed to Fox News that world powers meeting in Vienna to hammer out the nuclear deal will miss their June 30 deadline. Iran’s foreign minister Mohammed Javad Zarif’s returned home for consultations on Sunday. Zarif is expected to return to Vienna to join counterparts from other countries at the negotiating table to push for a breakthrough on the talks. U.S. officials said they are “unconcerned” about the pace of talks and that Zarif’s trip home had been scheduled in advance.

The United States supported the secret supply of weapons to Libyan rebels while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State according to federal court documents obtained by Fox News. In a sworn declaration to the District Court of Arizona May 5th 2015, a career CIA officer David Manners said, “It was then, and remains now, my opinion that the United States did participate, directly or indirectly, in the supply of weapons to the Libyan Transitional National Council.” The timing matters because in the Spring of 2011 the Libyan opposition was not formally recognized, and the direct supply of arms was not authorized. At that time, the CIA Director was David Petraeus.

Headline: Armenians continue protest despite suspension of power price rise
Thousands of Armenians launched a second week of protests on Monday against a hike in electricity prices, rejecting the government’s concession to suspend the increase temporarily. The government decided on Saturday to cover the price rise out of state funds, rather than increase customers’ bills, until an independent audit of the electricity supply company is completed. But thousands of protesters remained at their sit-in on an avenue near the presidential palace in the capital Yerevan, while hundreds moved to nearby Freedom Square. “We will stay here until our demand is fulfilled … Electricity tariff rises will lead to rises in all other prices,” activist Hmayk Mkrtchyan told Reuters. The crowd, which has tended to dwindle during the day but swell again at night, has made barricades of rubbish bins and carries posters with slogans like “I’m not going to pay! Will you?” and “Stop robbing people!” The rally has been peaceful since last Tuesday, when police used water cannon against demonstrators and detained about 200 but were unable to break up the rally.

Two suicide bombers killed at least three people and injured 16 in the capital of the northeastern Nigerian state of Borno on Saturday, the latest in a string of deadly attacks by suspected Islamist militants. The two women tried to get into a hospital but were stopped by security guards at the gate and blew themselves up, witnesses said. “We evacuated the charred bodies of the two security guards, another civilian and the two bombers,” said Auwal Mohammed, a member of the community in Molai, where the hospital is situated. Muhammadu Buhari, the new president of Africa’s most populous nation and biggest economy, made Maiduguri the command center for the military campaign against Islamist militant group Boko Haram after being inaugurated last month. More than 100 people have been killed in northeast Nigeria in the past few weeks in a spate of bombings, mostly in Maiduguri.

Headline: Suicide blast in Chad capital kills 11 during police raid
Suspected Boko Haram fighters blew themselves up during a police raid in Chad’s capital early on Monday, killing five officers and six militants, police and government officials said.
The raid of an illegal arms cache was part of a security operation aimed at dismantling a network of Boko Haram militants blamed for twin suicide bombings in N’Djamena on June 15.
The apparently synchronised attacks were the most deadly that Western ally Chad has known and killed 34 people. “After an interrogation, a suspect showed us a house for building bombs,” said interior minister Abderahim Bireme Hamid. “When we arrived on the scene at 5 a.m. our forces came across the…terrorists who blew themselves up.” A police officer who participated in the raid said one of the militants was wearing an explosive belt and detonated it as police arrived. A Reuters witness outside the house in N’Djamena’s eastern neighbourhood of Diguel saw Red Cross workers load at least four white bodybags onto a truck. The torso of one of the dead lay in the sand outside the house. Prosecutor Alghassim Khamiss said the house was an arms cache and that authorities had seized a large number of home-made explosives and eight mortars there.

The attack marks the second time in a month that jihadists in Mali have attacked close to the West African country. It is also the second jihadist assault in two days in the lower half of the country. The Associated Press, quoting a local Malian official, said “armed individuals identifying as jihadists today attacked the village of Fakola. They came on motorcycles.” A Malian military police official said that the attackers carried the “black jihadist flag” and exclaimed “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is the Greatest,” during the attack. The AP also reported that the jihadists burned down many administrative buildings, and a building being used as a headquarters for the military police in the area. However, no military police personnel were in the city when the attack began. No casualty numbers have been given at the time of this writing, however, the AP notes that the Malian army was able to regain control of the town after arriving on scene and driving the jihadists out. This is the second attack this month to have taken place near Ivory Coast.

Yemen’s Houthi fighters fired missiles at storage tanks at an Aden refinery on Saturday, starting a large fire, and 14 people were killed in clashes between the Houthis and Saudi-led forces near the southern port city, witnesses and residents said. The attack on the refinery in the Buraiqah area sent black smoke billowing into the sky. After months of conflict, Yemen is suffering from severe fuel shortages and its oil and gas industry has all but ground to a halt. Industry sources said in April that the 150,000 barrels per day refinery had shut its operations and declared force majeure on its imports and exports due to the war. In northern Aden, medical sources reported eight civilians were killed, including a woman and her three children, in random shelling by Houthi fighters on residential areas in the al Mansoura and Sheikh Othman districts. Four people from the Yemen’s southern resistance movement and 10 Houthis were killed in clashes early on Saturday near Aden, sources from the resistance movement and residents said. The fighting took place in Ja’wala and Bir Ahmed, north of Aden.

The number of government troops deployed in the conflict in eastern Ukraine has reached 60,000 troops, according to President Petro Poroshenko. The statement comes as the total of Ukrainian refugees has exceeded 900,000 people, according to UN. On Thursday, the Ukrainian president signed amendments allowing the presence of foreign troops in Ukraine, as part of an international peacekeeping force. The law also has the provision to let the country have weapons of mass destruction stationed there. At present, 380 American and 75 British troopers are training Ukrainian soldiers, but in the autumn members of the Canadian military could join their ranks. The two-year agreement was reached at a meeting of Ukraine’s Minister of Defense Stepan Poltorak and his Canadian counterpart Jason Kenney on Saturday, RIA Novosti reported. British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said on Wednesday: “We are doubling up our training of Ukrainian forces. We’ve already trained around 650. By this autumn we will have trained nearly 1,000,” as cited by Reuters. “We’ve already been training in battlefield medicine, infantry skills, logistics, in tactical intelligence,” Fallon added.

Headline: Austrians launch petition to quit EU
Austrians have launched a petition to quit the EU, arguing that the nation will be better off economically if it leaves the union. To force the national parliament to consider the initiative activists need to have gathered 100,000 signatures by July 1. The petition was started by a retired 66-year-old translator, Inge Rauscher, who has collected enough signatures to launch an official campaign. The plea seeks to request that the national parliament debate the idea of a referendum on quitting the EU. However, to get that issue even discussed, the petition must gather 100,000 signatures. “We want to go back to a neutral and peace-loving Austria,” Rauscher said at the start of the campaign this week. Austrians have until July 1 to sign the petition which they can do in municipal or district offices.

Headline: Gov’t Official: Default Tomorrow…
Long lines formed at ATMs and bank branches across Greece Monday as the nation’s financial crisis worsened, limiting cash withdrawals and causing global markets to plunge. Senior citizens looking to collect their monthly government benefits swarmed closed bank branches Monday in the hope of getting their checks, and lines formed at ATMs as bankers gradually began dispensing cash again following the imposition of strict controls on capital. Greece has imposed restrictions on money withdrawals and banking transactions to keep its financial system from collapsing due to a run on the banks. The government has imposed a stringent daily limit of 60 euros ($67) on cash withdrawals from ATMs this week. The banks and the country’s stock market have been closed for the week after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ surprise call for a referendum next Sunday on creditor proposals for reforms Greece should take to gain access to blocked bailout funds. Tsipras is advocating Greeks reject the creditor proposals, in the popular vote, which increasingly has the look of a vote on euro membership itself.

U.S. stocks retreated, with the biggest drop in two months, amid mounting concern about fallout from a potential Greece exit from the euro area. Financial shares in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index fell 1.8 percent as Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. slipped at least 1.8 percent. The KBW Bank Index declined the most in more than three months. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, which makes about a quarter of its sales in the region that includes Europe, retreated 6.7 percent. National Bank of Greece ADRs plummeted 23 percent, and the Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF tumbled 17 percent. The S&P 500 Index sank 1.4 percent to 2,071.63 at 1:44 p.m. in New York, the biggest drop since April 17. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 240.22 points, or 1.3 percent, to 17,706.46 and erased its gain for the year. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 1.6 percent. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index surged 26 percent to 17.71, its biggest increase of 2015. “We finally reached the breaking point,” said Michael James, a managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities Inc. in Los Angeles. “With so much uncertainty around a potentially negative outcome, the knee-jerk reaction will be to reduce risk assets. You have a potentially very ugly situation this week.”

Headline: North Korea on missile cruiser deployment to Japan: U.S. ‘will burn’
North Korea threatened the United States on Monday after a guided missile cruiser arrived at Yokosuka Naval Base. Pyongyang’s state-controlled media outlet KCNA said the Aegis cruiser USS Chancellorsville was being deployed in Japan in response to North Korea’s nuclear threat, Yonhap reported. The move was not welcomed by North Korea, and KCNA said in a statement the United States had “better heed past warnings.” “The cloud of flames of a nuclear war is finally gathering en masse,” KCNA stated. “But the U.S. should heed the truth: We already have strategy and tactical missiles capable of a strong offense.” South Korean news network YTN reported KCNA also denounced U.S. plans to dispatch four drones to Misawa Air Base in Japan in July. “The U.S. imperial invasion has undoubtedly revealed its true colors,” North Korea said in statement. “From the fire they start, they themselves will burn as a result…and their ruin would only be accelerated,” Pyongyang said in reference to the “U.S. nuclear fanatics” fanning “nuclear war’s flames” on the Korean peninsula.

Headline: Week-long heat wave kills 1,233 people in southern Pakistan
A devastating weeklong heat wave in Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi killed 1,233 people, an official said. Nazar Mohammad Bozdar, operations director at the Provincial Disaster Management Authority, said about 65,000 heatstroke patients were treated by doctors at all of Karachi’s hospitals since June 20 when the heat wave struck Sindh province, where Karachi is the provincial capital. He told The Associated Press that 1,923 patients with heat-related ailments were still being treated. “The government quickly responded by making arrangements for the treatment of heatstroke patients and the situation has improved now,” he said. Pakistan’s deadliest heat wave on record coincided with the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, when Pakistan’s Muslim majority observed a dawn-to-dusk fast. The temperatures in Karachi came down to 93 degrees Fahrenheit after reaching 113 degrees Fahrenheit a week ago amid chronic power outages, which forced many residents to spend nights outdoors. The heat wave shocked many Pakistanis just weeks after soaring temperatures caused nearly 2,200 deaths in neighboring India.

Headline: Egypt sees sandstorm and earthquake on the same day
Egypt faces treacherous weather conditions as a sandstorm blanketed the north of the country and a 5.2 magnitude earthquake centered in the Sinai peninsula shook buildings more than 200 miles away in the capital, Cairo. Airports near Alexandria and Marsa Matrouh, along the Mediterranean coast, closed and diverted flights to Cairo due to poor visibility from the day’s sandstorm, Civil Aviation Minister Hossam Kamel said. In the Red Sea town of Dahab, near the epicenter of the quake in the Sinai peninsula, the tremor shook loose clouds of dust that enveloped nearby mountains, according to a witness. The quake appeared to startle local residents and tourists. Fierce winds whipped through the capital as many residents took cover from the sand by staying indoors.
