Headline:     Palestinian Authority FM: Conclusions of Paris Summit to be non-binding

Foreign Affairs Minister of the Palestinian Authority, Riyad al-Maliki, said Saturday that some international nations interfered in the Paris summit peace talks to ensure that its final conclusions would be non-binding. Al-Maliki was quoted saying that, “countries interfered so that the final announcement of the Paris Conference would not include concrete stances regarding the peace process, the settlements, or an established  time-table.” According to one report, the United States was one of the nations involved in pushing this compromise. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was updated Friday night by French FM Jean-Marc Ayrault regarding progress made in the conference. Ayrault said that France inc tends to send a designated emissary to the Middle East in order to push forward the peace process and regional stability.

Headline: Israelis hold annual march through a tense Jerusalem

Thousands of Israelis marched through Jerusalem’s Old City amid high tensions on Sunday to commemorate the capture of the city’s eastern sector in the 1967 Mideast war. The marchers, waving Israeli flags and chanting, paraded through the ancient center, which is home to the city’s most sensitive holy sites. The march snaked through the heart of the Old City’s Muslim Quarter, where revelers danced and blew horns. The march comes amid a nearly nine month-long wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence. In a sign of the strain, Israel’s Supreme Court earlier Sunday limited the march’s duration in a bid to “cause minimum friction with Muslim residents,” and police beefed up security to ensure calm. But no incidents were reported by nightfall, police said, adding that more than 30,000 marchers participated. Police took extra precautions because the march may have coincided with the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins Monday.

Headline: Israel’s PM seeks role in Russian-US duo in Syria

During his 48-hour trip to Moscow (Monday and Tuesday June 6-7), Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will try and talk President Vladimir Putin into cutting Israel into the military teamwork evolving between Washington and Moscow for combating the Islamic State in Syria. As a quid pro quo, he will offer to elevate Moscow to senior broker in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, with Moscow or Geneva selected as the venue for direct Israeli-Palestinian talks, if they occur – and with US participation. Netanyahu is also keen on a role for Egypt’s Presidents Abdek-Fattah al-Sisi.
debkafile sources in Jerusalem and Moscow report exclusively that the floating of this deal was the reason why Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov abstained from attending the Mid East conference staged last weekend by France’s President Francois Hollande in Paris. The UK and German foreign ministers followed the Russian lead and stayed away.
And Friday, June 3, on the day of the Paris meeting, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikihail Bogdanov, who is in charge of Kremlin Middle East policy, offered a formula for resolving the problem of Israeli settlements on the West Bank.  That formula was very similar to the land swaps plan proposed by Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman a few years ago.
It consisted essentially of the transfer to the Palestinian state of parts of Israel with dense Arab populations, in return for Palestinian recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Israeli communities of Judea and Samaria.
In comments to Tass news service, Bogdanov said that Moscow is willing to host an Israeli-Palestinian peace conference, and also offered to mediate between the rival Palestinian factions, including Abu Mazen’s Fatah and the radical Hamas which rules the aza Strip.
While some Israeli politicians see the French initiative as offering President Barack Obama a handle for settling accounts with PM Netanyahu before he leaves the White House at the end of the year, Moscow and Jerusalem are concocting a parallel strategy – not merely to block the Franco-American move, but also to lift Washington’s drive for an Israeli-Palestinian accord from Paris to Moscow.

Headline: Jordan officers killed in attack at Baqaa camp near Amman

Five people have been killed in an attack on Jordanian intelligence officers at a Palestinian refugee camp near the capital, Amman, government officials say. They described the incident, rare in Jordan, as a “terrorist attack”. Three of the five people killed were intelligence officers, the officials said. The attack took place at the sprawling Baqaa camp north of Amman at about 07:00 local time (04:00 GMT). The Baqaa camp was one of six set up in 1968 for Palestinian refugees fleeing the West Bank and Gaza Strip as a result of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. No-one has yet said they carried out the Baqaa attack. He gave no details of the attack but said it was carried out by those with the “criminal behaviour of people who are outside of our religion”. Mr Momani said two of those killed were a guard and a telephone exchange operator. A security source later told AFP news agency that initial findings suggested the attack was carried out by a lone gunman with an automatic weapon.
The attack took place on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Eight civilians including five members of one family were killed in 24 hours of shelling by Iran-backed rebels on residential parts of Yemen’s third city Taez, local officials said Monday. Three children were among those killed in clashes that have continued despite a ceasefire and peace talks in Kuwait between Houthi rebel and loyalist delegates, the sources said. Another 13 civilians were wounded, the sources added, accusing the rebels of firing mortar and artillery rounds into the residential areas. Rebel shelling of the besieged government garrison in Taez killed 11 civilians on Saturday, drawing condemnation from UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed.

Syria Headline:      Another ISIS village captured as the Syrian Arab Army marches towards Raqqa
Starting at noon today, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) continued its operations against ISIS in western Raqqa following up on a string of advances in the past week. With heavy clashes ongoing, the SAA is pushing towards the Rasafeh crossroad after capturing the village of Bur Ambaj yesterday. Moments ago, a field correspondent revealed to al-Masdar that the SAA had liberated Khirbat-Zaydān; the latter village is located directly east of Bur Ambaj. The source also said government troops – spearheaded by brand new T-90 tanks – had cleared upwards of 10 kilometers formerly ISIS-held territory in the past 24 hours alone. Effectively, the SAA has advanced approximately 45 kilometers since beginning the offensive less than one week ago. Remarkably, government troops are now only 30 kilometers from Tabqa Airbase; this air field is symbolic for the Syrian military as hundreds of government soldiers were executed by ISIS in August 2014 shortly after the Islamic State captured the airbase.

Iraqi Headline: Fallujah Control of Terrain Map

Civilians fleeing Falluja, an Iraqi stronghold of the so-called Islamic State (IS), are being shot as they leave, an aid agency says. The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) said families it had interviewed described people being shot dead by IS as they crossed the Euphrates River. The NRC, that runs refugee camps near Falluja, said up to 50,000 people remained in the city. Iraq’s army began the fight to retake the city late last month. Falluja lies just 50km (30 miles) west of Baghdad and has been held by IS since 2014. It is one of two remaining IS strongholds in Iraq. Shakir al-Essawi, the head of Falluja’s regional council, told Reuters people were trying to cross the Euphrates in refrigerators, cupboards and barrels. “Our biggest fears are now tragically confirmed with civilians being directly targeted while trying to flee to safety,” said Nasr Muflahi, the Iraq country director of the NRC, in a statement which said “armed opposition groups” were behind the shooting. “This is the worst that we feared would happen to innocent men, women and children who have had to leave everything behind in order to save their lives.”

Kurdish Headline:      Turkey bombs Kurdish positions in Kobane

Turkey’s military on Sunday hit the Kurdish city of Kobane in northern Syria with four shells, bombing residential houses, local sources reported. The Turkish army forces, stationed on the border with Syria’s Kurdish region, targeted the districts of Khikhire and Tarmik in southeastern Kobane on Sunday evening. “Four artillery shells hit Kobane coming from the Turkish side of the border, causing destruction of several houses,” eyewitnesses told ARA News in Kobane. It was not immediately clear how many casualties fell in the Turkish bombardment. The city of Kobane and its countryside have been under the control of the Kurdish forces of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) since expelling militants of the Islamic State (ISIS) in February 2015. Since then, the YPG-held areas have been exposed to several mortar and artillery attacks by the Turkish army, according to Kurdish military sources. “As the Kurdish forces continue their advance against ISIS terrorists and other Turkey-backed jihadi groups, the Turkish authorities keep targeting the Kurdish positions in a direct support to those terror groups,” a YPG official told ARA News.

Headline:   Turkey’s Unit International says agrees $4.2 billion deal to build Iran power plants

Turkish energy company Unit International has reached a $4.2 billion deal with Iran’s energy ministry to build seven natural gas power plants there, in what it said was the biggest investment in Iran since the lifting of sanctions. The power stations, to be built in seven separate regions of Iran, Turkey’s eastern neighbor, would have a combined installed capacity of 6,020 megawatts, the company said in a statement. The United States, European Union and United Nations lifted most sanctions on Iran in January under a deal with world powers whereby Tehran agreed to curbs on its nuclear program. Turkish companies have seen the move as a major trade and investment opportunity, with the car, clothing, textiles, machinery and chemicals sectors also seen offering potential. “Unit International has reached a deal with the Iranian Energy Ministry worth some $4.2 billion to build natural gas combined cycle power plants,” Unit said, adding the agreement was signed at a ceremony in Tehran on June 1.

An Afghan member of parliament was killed by a bomb planted near his residence in the capital Kabul, the interior ministry said. The device, hidden in an electrical box attached to a wall, exploded as Shir Wali Wardak left his house, ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said late on Sunday. “It could either have been a bomb on a timer or one that was remotely detonated,” Sediqqi said, adding that 11 people, including five of Wardak’s bodyguards, were wounded in the blast. No group immediately claimed responsibility. The attack came hours after Taliban fighters stormed a courthouse south of Kabul, killing at least seven people, including a newly appointed chief prosecutor. At least 21 other people were wounded in the attack in Puli Alim, the capital of southeastern Logar province, the head of security for provincial police force said.

Headline:      Libya PM rules out international military intervention

The prime minister of Libya’s UN-backed unity government has ruled out an international military intervention to fight the Daesh terror group, which has had a growing presence in the country since 2014. Some 25 nations including the United States and Russia agreed last month to help Libya arm itself against the extremists, but Prime Minister Fayez Al Sarraj told French newspaper Journal du Dimanche he would not allow foreign troops on the ground. “It’s true that we need help from the international community in our fight against terrorism and it’s true that this is something we have already received,” he said in the interview, published on Sunday. “But we are not talking about international intervention,” Sarraj said, adding that the presence of foreign ground troops would be “contrary to our principles”. “Rather we need satellite images, intelligence, technical help… not bombardments,” he said. The Government of National Accord (GNA), established in Tripoli more than two months ago, has been trying to unify violence-ridden Libya and exert its control over the entire North African country.

Headline: ISIS Forecast: Ramadan 2016

The next forty-five days constitute a high-risk period for a surge of attacks by ISIS during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. ISIS traditionally uses Ramadan – which begins on June 6 and ends on July 5, 2016 – as a justification for its attacks and as an occasion to reorient its strategy. This year, ISIS will likely take action to reverse serious losses in Iraq and Syria while expanding its attacks against the non-Muslim world in an attempt to spark an apocalyptic total war. ISIS is still operationally capable in its core terrain and stands poised to expand its operations over the next six weeks, particularly in Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan. This forecast will outline the most likely and most dangerous targets that ISIS may seek to operate against during Ramadan.

 Headline:  ISIS’s Regional Campaign: May 2016

ISIS continued to set conditions for Ramadan by launching attacks within and along the periphery of the Muslim world in order to foster regional disorder and push the boundaries of its caliphate contiguous to non-Muslim lands. The group is expanding its footprint to the edges of non-Muslim lands, as shown by arrests in Ingushetia, Russia and escalating attacks in majority-Muslim areas in Bangladesh and the Philippines and in Pakistan. ISIS is likely preparing to launch new affiliates in Bangladesh and the Philippines during the holy month of Ramadan, which begins on June 6. ISIS is also continuing its campaign to weaken regional power centers, as shown by an attack in the Egyptian capital and a thwarted attack in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, indicating ISIS may be planning to attack Mecca during Ramadan. ISIS continued operation “The Invasion of Abu Ali an-Anbari,” declared on April 30, 2016, by claiming attacks in Iraq, Libya, Yemen, and Egypt, indicating the ability to synchronize a single campaign across multiple wilayats before Ramadan. The group demonstrated its resiliency in its core terrain despite anti-ISIS offensives through continued attacks around Baghdad, Iraq and even launching the new Wilayat Sahel in Syria on May 23, 2016.

Headline:    Kenya opposition Cord protests turn deadly in Kisumu

At least two people have died and five have been injured after Kenyan police opened fire to disperse opposition protests in the western city of Kisumu, a local reporter has told the BBC. The police have not commented. The opposition has been holding weekly demonstrations against the electoral commission, which it says is biased. Nairobi’s police chief had warned opposition supporters not to take part in Monday’s protest in the Kenyan capital “if you value your life”. Officers shot dead three people in similar protests in May. They said they were acting in self-defense. Journalist Richard Omondi says he has confirmed the latest fatalities with the authorities at the Kisumu hospital where the injured were taken. A bullet has also been removed from the body of a five-year-old boy, who survived the injury. Omondi told the BBC that protesters had earlier blocked roads with burning tyres and were heading to the electoral commission’s offices when police intervened. They used tear gas followed by live bullets to disperse the demonstrators. Presidential spokesman Manoah Esipisu said those shot had been looting.

Chinese President Xi Jinping also delivered a speech, calling for an increase in “mutual trust” between China and the United States. “The vast Pacific should be a stage for cooperation, not an area for competition,” Xi said. Beijing’s race for legitimacy in the disputed Spratly Islands, however, has cast a long shadow over the South China Sea.

Lieberman, who has earned a reputation as a tough-talking hawk, described the Arab peace plan for two states as containing “positive elements” on Monday night in a press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after being sworn in as defense minister. “If he really means it, we’ll forget everything he said about us – that we’re diplomatic terrorists,” Abbas said, referring to harsh comments Lieberman has made about the Palestinian leadership. “We won’t judge him by the past but rather by what he does now and in the future.” The Israeli delegation of mayors arrived on the eve of an international peace conference in Paris on Friday – and as Israeli leaders turn to Egypt to spearhead new talks with the Palestinians – to discuss another peace conference to be held in, of all places, the small northern Israeli town of Ma’alot Tarshiha.

Headline:  Ahead of Paris Summit, Israel Sees Egypt’s Regional Initiative as Preferable to French Peace Plan

The foreign ministers of 29 countries will convene on Friday in Paris to debate the stalemate in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and will try to agree on a date for an international peace conference to take place by the end of the year. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held on Thursday night a political-informational consultation ahead of the event, at the end of which Foreign Ministry Director-General Dore Gold held a press conference in which he compared the French peace initiative to the Sykes-Picot agreement, which divided up the former territories of the Ottoman Empire. He stressed that any effort by the international community to impose a solution would fail. “One hundred years ago, two officials by the name of Mark Sykes and Francois-Georges Picot tried to dictate a new order in the Middle East,” Gold said. “It was at the apex of the era of colonialism in our area. It utterly failed then and will completely fail today. The only way to make peace is by means of direct negotiations without prior conditions with the full backing of the Arab states and not by means of a conference in Paris. If you have a conflict with your neighbor you don’t go all the way to France and bring Senegal over to solve it. You talk directly to your neighbor.”

Lebanon

Headline:    Lebanon: Hezbollah Digging Tunnels Into Israel

In marking the 16th anniversary of Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon, the Lebanese newspaper Al-Safir reported that the Hezbollah terrorist militia is busy digging tunnels under the Israeli border in preparation for future conflict. According to the article, the tunnels enable Hezbollah terrorists to attack Israel at a moment’s notice, and include sophisticated ventilation and electricital systems and enough supplies to allow militants to remain in the tunnels for weeks at a time. Fully aware of the threat, Israel’s Home Front Command is busy training civil defense units in towns and villages across northern Israel. That effort includes a great many Arab communities, who after the last Lebanon war realized Hezbollah missiles do not differentiate between Arabs and Jews. “There is a big change in the Arab population in Israel in that they are much more willing to cooperate with us,” Col. Eren Makov, the Northern Regional Commander of the Homefront Command, said in a recent interview with The Media Line. “We give them training in what to do and they see it as a contribution.” Israeli officials stress that the next war with Hezbollah isn’t likely to happen anytime soon, given that the Lebanese group is so bogged down in the Syrian civil war, in which it has lost thousands of troops. On the other hand, Hezbollah operates at the whim of the Iranian regime. Should Tehran or the besieged regime of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad view it as beneficial to draw Israel into the conflict, they could order a Hezbollah assault on the Galilee or Golan Heights.

Headline:  OPEC fails to agree policy but Saudis pledge no shocks

OPEC failed to agree a clear oil-output strategy on Thursday as Iran insisted on steeply raising its own production, though Tehran’s arch-rival Saudi Arabia promised not to flood the market and sought to mend fences within the organization. Tensions between the Sunni-led kingdom and the Shi’ite Islamic Republic had blighted several previous OPEC meetings, including in December 2015 when the group fell short of agreeing a formal output target for the first time in years. Strains were less acute on Thursday, however, as new Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih showed Riyadh wanted to be more conciliatory and his Iranian peer Bijan Zanganeh kept his criticism of Riyadh to an unusual minimum. In a rare compromise, OPEC also decided unanimously to appoint Nigeria’s Mohammed Barkindo as its new secretary-general after years of friction over the issue. Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies had tried to propose OPEC set a new collective ceiling in an attempt to repair the group’s waning importance. But Thursday’s meeting ended with no new policy or ceiling amid resistance from Iran.

Headline:    Iran tells Saudi Arabia: ‘We’ll leave Iraq when Iraq asks’

Iran’s foreign minister said on Wednesday that Tehran had no intention of leaving Iraq and criticised “arrogant” Saudi Arabia for accusing it of stoking sectarian violence. “We will leave Iraq whenever Iraq asks us to. And we will help Iraq to confront terrorism, as long as Iraq wants us to,” Mohammad Javad Zarif said at a press conference in Stockholm during a European tour to attract investors. On Sunday, Saudi Arabia accused Iran of sowing “sedition and division” in Iraq and sending in Shiite militias, and urged Tehran to “stop intervening” in the affairs of its neighbours. But Zarif, whose Shiite-dominated country is an arch rival of Saudi Arabia, bristled at the remarks by the Sunni-led kingdom’s Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir. “It’s an absurd statement, it’s an arrogant statement. Nobody should arrogate themselves to talk on behalf of other countries,” he said in English. Tehran and Riyadh, a traditional ally of Washington, are at odds over a raft of regional issues, notably the conflicts in Syria and Yemen in which they support opposing sides.

Yemeni officials say the country’s Shiite rebels have retaken ground from forces loyal to the internationally recognized government in two central provinces, with at least 85 fighters killed on both sides over the past three days. The officials said Thursday the fighting has been taking place in Marib and Shabwa provinces. They say that in Shabwa’s region of Bihan, along with the 85 killed, about 100 fighters have been wounded on both sides. Security officials loyal to President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi say pro-government forces retreated due to lack of air support from the Saudi-led coalition.

Syria Headline:       US-backed fighters ‘advance on IS-held Manbij‘

US-backed Kurdish and Arab fighters have opened up a new front against so-called Islamic State (IS) in northern Syria, close to the Turkish border. The offensive by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) is reported to be directed at Manbij, a town under IS control. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said US-led pre-dawn air strikes on Manbij killed 15 civilians. The operation aims to cut IS off from an area it uses to move weapons and fighters across the border. Thousands of forces have been deployed in the offensive, which could take weeks, unnamed US officials told Reuters news agency. The SDF fighters are being supported by US special forces. US officials say the SDF force is mostly Arab with a small number of Kurds. However, the Syrian Observatory (SOHR) said most of the fighters were from the Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG) militia. Turkey considers the YPG a terrorist group and fiercely opposes any Kurdish advances near the border. The SOHR added the troops were about 15km (nine miles) from Manbij. The clashes were “fierce and intense”, SDF military adviser Nasser Haj Mansour told AFP news agency.

A Free Syrian Army-linked rebel group active in the remote stretches of central Syria has advanced against ISIS near the Damascus-Baghdad International Highway. The Ahmad al-Abdo Martyrs Forces announced Wednesday evening that its fighters seized the Zaza and Kabad checkpoints northeast of the Bir al-Qassab region in the country’s vast semi-desert following a “surprise operation.” “[We] expelled ISIS members from the region, killing 10 of their fighters while capturing two of them as the rest fled toward… the desert,” the group—which is reportedly supported by the US and Jordan—claimed in a statement posted on its Facebook page. A spokesperson for the Ahmad al-Abdo Martyrs Forces spoke with the activist Local Coordination Committees about the fighting, saying that a foreign ISIS commander had been killed in the battle. Saeed Saif claimed that ISIS had running an operations room at the captured checkpoints, adding that the Zaza point carried “strategic importance” since it was a linking point for ISIS fighters. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also covered the desert battle, reporting that a rebel group—which would not name—had killed a number of ISIS fighters during its fight to seize the Zaza and Kabad checkpoints.

Washington informed Ankara of the Manbij operation, but it was beyond the range of Turkish artillery and Turkey would not back a campaign in which Syrian Kurdish fighters played a role, another Turkish military source said Wednesday. Turkish border guards fired artillery at two ISIS positions near the Syrian town of Azaz on Wednesday, the Turkish military sources said, west of the U.S.-backed operation and directly south of the Turkish border town of Kilis, which has been repeatedly hit by ISIS rockets. Turkish jets struck PKK camps in northern Iraq early Thursday and destroyed seven rebel targets the Metina area, the military sources also said.

Headline:  Turkey slams Germany’s genocide vote, recalls envoy

Prime Minister Binali Yildirim says Turkey is recalling its ambassador to Germany for consultations after what he calls a “historic error” by the German parliament to recognize the killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks a century ago as genocide. The motion, which was put forward by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s governing coalition of right and left and the opposition Greens, passed with support from all the parties in Parliament. In a show of hands, there was one abstention and one vote against. The vote heightened tensions between Germany and Turkey at a time when Ankara is playing a key role in stemming the flow of migrants to Europe. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that “this decision will seriously impact Turkish-German relations.” Speaking during a visit to Kenya, Erdogan said recalling the ambassador for consultations was a “first step” and that the Turkish government would consider further steps to be taken in response to the vote.

Regional officials in Afghanistan say Taliban abducted at least 17 passengers in the north of the country late Wednesday. Zabiullah Amani, the provincial governor’s spokesman, said the passengers, local residents of Balkhab district, were traveling by bus to the capital of Sar-e-Pul province when Taliban kidnapped them. He said local tribal elders were negotiating their release. This is the second mass kidnapping in a week by the Afghan Taliban. Some 200 passengers were abducted earlier this week by insurgents who set up illegal check points on a highway in northern Kunduz province. They later released some of those passengers but executed at least 17 of them. Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters gathered in Kabul Thursday for a demonstration against the Kunduz abductions and killings. The protest was organized by the Afghanistan Green Trend party led by former intelligence chief Amrullah Saleh. Demonstrators chanted anti-Taliban slogans. The protest ended after the organizers were allowed to enter the city and read out their resolution at Pashtoonistan square near the presidential palace gates.

Headline:       Libyan forces lose 10 men in clashes with ISIS near Sirte

Libyan brigades aligned with a new UN-backed government in Tripoli lost 10 men and had another 40 wounded in fighting close to the Islamic State stronghold of Sirte on Wednesday, a hospital spokesman said. The brigades, mostly composed of fighters from the western city of Misrata, have advanced to the outskirts of Sirte over the past week and say they intend to recapture the city. On Wednesday they had gained ground south of the city, and at a power station west of Sirte, according to statements posted on their social media accounts. They said they had faced four suicide car bombings, two of which had exploded before reaching their targets. Western states are hoping the United Nations-backed government, which arrived in Tripoli in March, can bring together Libya’s competing factions to defeat ISIS. The extremist group established a foothold in Libya amid political chaos and conflict in the North African state, gaining control over Sirte last year. Earlier this week a separate force that guards key oil terminals east of Sirte also advanced towards the city, taking control of two small towns previously controlled by ISIS. In Sirte itself, a resident told Reuters that a senior cleric had toured the streets on Tuesday urging people to stay in the city and fight. Most of Sirte’s population of about 80,000 is thought to have fled, and the government-backed brigades have said they want to give those residents who remain a chance to escape before advancing into residential areas. The brigades had already seen 75 of their fighters killed and more than 350 wounded before the latest casualties.

A throng of protesters demanding food made a run for the Venezuelan presidential palace on Thursday in a rare, apparently spontaneous outburst of anger at the socialist administration within the heart of Caracas. More than 100 people charged down the main thoroughfare in central Caracas chanting “No more talk. We want food.” They got within about a half dozen blocks of the presidential palace before police in riot gear headed them off and began firing tear gas. Police pushed the protesters back as some kicked their plastic shields. More officers ran toward the scene and filled in the streets between the protesters and the palace. Onlookers leaned out of windows banging pots and yelling insults at the officers. The economically struggling county has seen near-daily spontaneous protests in recent weeks over shortages of food and medicine, rolling blackouts, and poor access to running water.

A source close to China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) told the South China Morning Post daily that security conditions in the region, namely the US military presence, would define the timing of the ADIZ declaration. “If the US military keeps making provocative moves to challenge China’s sovereignty in the region, it will give Beijing a good opportunity to declare an ADIZ in the South China Sea,” the source told the newspaper. The country’s Defense Ministry told the South China Morning Post in a written statement that it was “the right of a sovereign state” to designate an ADIZ.

The last time, we heard about a “mysterious hemorrhagic fever” in a country, it was February 2014. The outbreak was in Guinea. And by the time doctors had pinpointed the culprit, Ebola was spiraling out of control in West Africa. The situation in South Sudan today is a far cry from that in West Africa a few years ago. But it’s still concerning, the World Health Organization said. So far, there have been 51 cases — including 10 deaths — from an unknown disease in the northern part of South Sudan. The main symptoms of the disease are similar to those seen with Ebola: unexplained bleeding, fever, fatigue, headache and vomiting. But the culprit definitely isn’t Ebola. First, the symptoms “rapidly resolve following supportive treatment,” WHO said. And the disease doesn’t seem to spread from person to person. In fact, scientists don’t know yet how the disease is transmitted. Scientists have tested 33 of the cases for Ebola, and all of them came back negative. The samples also tested negative for other viruses known to cause unexplained bleeding, such as Marburg virus and Crimean-Congo fever.

Several volcanos around the world were very active last week spewing enormous amounts of ash and gas into the atmosphere and forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. But it´s not all just about volcanic activity, there has also been quite a bit of earthquake activity along some the volcano impacted areas, especially in the Pacific Ring of Fire. During the last 10 days close to 40 volcanos worldwide have been showing signs of activity and great deal of them, 34, are located along the very active Ring Fire. Considering that in the 20th century the average number of volcanic eruptions was 35 per year, what we are seeing just this week is above last century´s average for an entire year. This increasing volcanic activity around the the Ring of Fire is not new, the region is home to 452 volcanoes, 75% of all earth’s, and geologists have been warning that this 25,000 mile stretch of active and dormant volcanoes is becoming more unstable in recent years.

Yair Golan, deputy chief-of-staff of the Israeli army, said that “if there is one thing which frightens me in remembering the Holocaust, it is the identification of the chilling processes that took place in Europe, particularly in Germany 70, 80 and 90 years ago, and finding evidence that they are taking place amongst us, here, today, in 2016.” This statement, and the support Golan received from Minister of Defense Moshe Ya’alon, has not only led to the resignation of the latter, it started an anti-government campaign in which leading journalists are now openly advocating a coups d’état. Peddling this idea are Nahum Barnea from the daily Yediot Aharonot and Zvi Bar’el from the daily Haaretz. Not surprisingly, those toying with this dangerous notion are leftists who cry endlessly about the dangers Israeli democracy faces from some vague “chilling processes” emanating from the Right. Ending democracy in order to save it is the logic behind this new fantasy. Interesting in this latest outcry is how, in a blink of an eye, the IDF that to date was treated by many leftists as criminal tool in the hands of the “occupation,” has become the darling of the Left by those perceiving that the deputy chief-of-staff has landed squarely in their camp. First to suggest that the cue for revolution had been given was Zvi Bar’el in his article “Toward Revolutionizing the Army” published earlier this month.

Headline:  Netanyahu says willing to discuss Arab initiative for peace with Palestinians

Headline:  Netanyahu’s call for a revised Saudi initiative may be too little, too late

Headline:  Israel’s new defense minister backs two-state solution

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held out the prospect on Monday of reviving a 2002 Arab peace initiative that offers Israel diplomatic recognition from Arab countries in return for a statehood deal with the Palestinians. Netanyahu’s comments were a formal response to a speech last week by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who promised Israel warmer ties if it accepted efforts to resume peace talks. “The Arab peace initiative includes positive elements that can help revive constructive negotiations with the Palestinians,” Netanyahu said, echoing comments he made a year ago to Israeli reporters. “We are willing to negotiate with the Arab states on revisions to that initiative so that it reflects the dramatic changes in the region since 2002 but maintains the agreed goal of two states for two peoples,” he added. His comments were also  made in English during a speech that was mostly in Hebrew. Netanyahu spoke moments after Avigdor Lieberman was sworn in as Israel’s new defense minister and Israel’s fragile right-wing coalition gained support in parliament. Netanyahu appeared to indicate that the new far-right defense minister’s inclusion in the government did not spell an end to peace efforts with the Palestinians.

Saudi Arabia

Headline:     Houthis launch missile into Saudi

Headline:  Yemen clashes kill 38 rebels, loyalists

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have launched a missile over the border into Saudi Arabia in the latest violation of a shaky truce between the insurgents and the Yemeni government. Pro-Houthi television channel al-Masirah said Monday that the rebels had launched a long-range missile into Saudi territory. Saudi Arabia’s military said in a statement that several missiles had hit the Jizan border region, the first such strike in over a month, without wounding anyone. A truce between the warring parties that began April 10 has been deteriorating in recent days, with violations. The conflict in Yemen pits Shiite Houthi rebels and supporters of a former president against Yemen’s internationally recognized government, supported by a Saudi-led, U.S.-backed coalition. Al Arabiya news channel’s correspondent said Saudi Arabia’s army thwarted an attack on positions in Jazan. He added that skirmishes has erupted, and that Saudi forces repelled the attack by Houthi militias on Al Khubah and Tawal in Jazan. Days ago, the Saudi Interior Ministry said that one Saudi soldier was killed and three others were wounded when a landmine exploded on the border with Yemen. The blast hit a border patrol in the southwestern province of Jazan, the ministry said in a statement.

Egypt

Headline:     Roadside bombs kills 6 soldiers in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula

Egyptian security and hospital officials say a roadside bomb has struck a military armored vehicle in the restive northern part of the Sinai Peninsula, killing six soldiers. The officials say the attack on Tuesday also wounded six other soldiers. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which bore the hallmarks of the Islamic State group, which is fighting army and security forces in northern Sinai. Militants have been battling security forces in that area for years, but their attacks have grown much deadlier and more frequent since the ouster in July 2013 of the Islamist Mohammed Morsi, Egypt’s first freely elected president, following mass protests against his divisive, one-year rule.

Heavy air strikes in Syria’s rebel-held city of Idlib on Monday evening killed and injured more than 150 people, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The war monitor said it believed the planes were Russian. At least seven strikes hit the western Syrian city, it added. Some struck the area where the national hospital is located, the war monitor said, noting that it did not think the strikes hit the hospital itself.

Syria Headline:      Kurdish-led force seizes ground from ISIS in Syria

US-backed Kurdish-led fighters have seized ground from the Islamic State jihadist group in Syria, a monitor said Tuesday, as the jihadists come under attack in their Fallujah bastion in neighboring Iraq. The Syrian Democratic Forces, who control a swathe of territory along the Turkish border, launched a push south towards the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa last week, capturing a string of villages in the north of Raqqa province. “The SDF has captured 12 villages… northwest of Raqqa in the past 36 hours,” Syrian Observatory for Human Rights chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP. Abdel Rahman said that the villages lie 80 kilometers (50 miles) or more from Raqqa itself but that the jihadists’ de facto Syria capital was not the immediate goal. He said the target of the offensive was the town of Tabqa and its adjacent dam on the Euphrates River, which lie some 40 kilometers (25 miles) upstream. ISIS lost 18 fighters in the fighting on Monday, taking its losses since the start of offensive on May 24 to 79, he said. Among those killed were 24 child fighters from ISIS’s “Cubs of the Caliphate” recruitment program. The Observatory had no immediate word on SDF losses or any civilian deaths.

Iraqi Headline:  Iraqi forces thrust into Fallujah from 3 sides

Iraqi Headline: ISIS reportedly uses hundreds of families as human shields to protect Fallujah

Iraqi forces thrust into the city of Fallujah from three directions on Monday marking a new and perilous urban phase in the week-old operation to retake the terrorist bastion. The drive to recapture the first city to be lost from government control in 2014 came as fighting also raged in neighboring Syria, leaving huge numbers of civilians exposed. Led by the elite counter-terrorism service (CTS), Iraq’s best trained and most seasoned fighting unit, the forces pushed into Fallujah before dawn, commanders said. “Iraqi forces entered Fallujah under air cover from the international coalition, the Iraqi air force and army aviation, and supported by artillery and tanks,” said Lt. Gen. Abdelwahab Al-Saadi, the commander of the operation. “There is resistance from Daesh,” he added. The forces have not yet ventured into the city center but they recaptured some areas in a southern suburb after crossing a bridge, and took up positions on the eastern and northern fringes. The only families who were able to flee so far lived in outlying areas, with the biggest wave of displaced reaching camps on Saturday night. “Our resources in the camps are now very strained and with many more expected to flee we might not be able to provide enough drinking water for everyone,” said Nasr Muflahi, the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Iraq director. “We expect bigger waves of displacement the fiercer the fighting gets.”

Headline:  Taliban kill 9, abduct 35 in Afghan bus attacks

Taliban militants overran several checkpoints in southern Helmand province and killed at least 25 policemen over the past two days, officials said Monday, in the first major assaults in the province since the insurgents named a new leader last week. While the Taliban made major inroads in Helmand last year, the violence had seemed relatively contained in recent months, after broad changes by the Afghan Army there and an influx of U.S. troops and advisers. But the fighting has once again intensified, with an increased tempo of attacks in the districts of Nad Ali, Gereshk, Sangin and Marja, as well as in Babaji, a suburb of the provincial capital Lashkar Gah. Gul Agha, a commander of Afghan Local Police militia forces in Gereshk district, said Taliban fighters overran five checkpoints in the district bordering the provincial capital, killed 12 fighters and executed their unit commander. “A local commander named Safar Muhammad Akka was dragged and hanged in Yakhchal area of Gereshk by Taliban,” Agha said. “He was an old man, but very anti-Taliban.” A regional police commander, Esmatullah Dawlatzai, put the death toll at 25 members of the national police and Afghan Local Police militia fighters, with an additional 15 wounded, across three districts over the past two days. The head of the Helmand provincial council, Abdul Karim Attal, said Monday that as many as 35 to 40 policemen were killed or wounded in the past 24 hours of fighting across several districts. Also, seven police officers were missing, presumably abducted by the Taliban. The attacks in Gereshk were launched Sunday night and lasted for many hours, said Hismatullah Daulatzai, head of police for the greater Helmand zone. Attal said the government had repeatedly announced operations to clear Taliban threats, but little progress had been made.

Libya

Headline:      Libyan oil guard says captures coastal town from Islamic State after clashes

A force that controls oil terminals in eastern Libya said it had captured the town of Ben Jawad from Islamic State, pushing the militant group back along a coastal strip they control east of their stronghold of Sirte. Spokesman Ali al-Hassi said five Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG) fighters had been killed and 18 wounded in fierce clashes in the coastal town, and that fighting was continuing in the nearby town of Nawfiliyah. A Ben Jawad resident told Reuters that PFG forces had entered the town and were combing the area to secure it. If the PFG can hold Ben Jawad it could prove significant, signaling the start of a new front in the campaign against Islamic State. The PFG has declared its support for Libya’s U.N.-backed unity government. Other brigades that back the government advanced last week to the outskirts of Sirte from the west. “We launched today’s attack to purge and liberate the central region from Daesh (Islamic State), and secure this area under the umbrella of the ministry of defense and the Presidential Council, the Supreme Commander of the Libyan army,” Hassi said. The Presidential Council is the unity government’s leadership.

Headline:     Cutaneous leishmaniasis: Disfiguring tropical disease sweeps across Middle East

A disfiguring tropical disease is sweeping across the Middle East as a combination of heavy conflict and a breakdown of health care facilities in Isis-occupied areas leaves swathes of people vulnerable to the illness. Cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused by a parasite in the blood stream transmitted through sand fly bites. The disease can result in horrible open sores as well as disfiguring skin lesions, nodules or papules. Leishmaniasis has been endemic in Syria for centuries and was once commonly known as the “Aleppo evil”. However, as Syria’s civil war continues the resulting refugee crisis has triggered a catastrophic outbreak of the disease. Research published on Thursday in the scientific journal PLOS has found the disease is now affecting hundreds of thousands of people living in refugee camps or trapped in conflict zones. A similar situation may also be unfolding in eastern Libya and Yemen. “We’re seeing lots of diseases, including leishmaniasis in these conflict zones and we need to ring-fence them or risk another situation like Ebola out of the conflict zones in West Africa in 2014,” Peter Hotez, dean of the US National School of Tropical Medicine, US Science Envoy to the Middle East, and lead author of the PLOS research told the Digital Journal.

Headline:    Conflicting reports over rocket strikes in Gaza

Sirens sounded in the Gaza Belt and Eshkol Regional council areas Wednesday night, shortly before 8:30 pm. Residents told Channel 2 that they heard explosions. After a short search by IDF sources in the area, two hits were confirmed, in open fields between two Gaza Belt communities, Channel 2 reported. But half an hour later, the IDF stated that there were no hits, and that the siren was a “false alarm.” This is the latest in a spate of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel over the past month. Two weeks ago, Hamas terrorists lobbed rockets at Israeli civilians no fewer than eleven times in a three-day period.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday welcomed Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi’s bid for new peace talks, while the Hamas terror group hailed his call for internal Palestinian reconciliation. In a rare direct appeal to Palestinians and Israelis, Sissi had urged the two peoples to draw hope from the “real and stable peace” between Israel and Egypt. In a live televised statement, Sissi said he saw a “real opportunity” for an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement that would also lead to warmer ties between Egypt and the Jewish state. In response, Abbas praised “Egypt’s historic role in supporting Palestinian affairs,” the Hebrew-language Walla news site reported.

Headline:    Lebanese central bank prepares to close Hizballah accounts

Following the US imposition of economic sanctions on Hizballah, the central bank of Lebanon is preparing to comply with a US finance law and close accounts linked to the organization. Central bank governor Riad Salameh issued a statement in which he ordered banks subordinate to him “to consult with the central bank in Beirut before closing accounts suspected of being ones violating the American sanctions on the organization.” He said “The U.S. law has to be implemented worldwide and in Lebanon”, adding that “It is not possible to guarantee credit stability if (the central bank) does not implement the U.S. law.”

Saudi Arabia

Headline:   U.S. Senate passes bill allowing September 11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia

The U.S. Senate passed legislation on Tuesday that would allow victims of the Sept. 11 attacks to file lawsuits seeking damages from Saudi Arabia, setting up a potential showdown with the White House, which has threatened a veto. The Saudis, who deny responsibility for the 2001 attacks, strongly object to the bill and have threatened to sell up to $750 billion in U.S. securities and other American assets in retaliation if it becomes law. The “Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act,” or JASTA, passed the Senate by unanimous voice vote. It must next be taken up by the U.S. House of Representatives, where no vote has yet been scheduled. If it became law, JASTA would remove the sovereign immunity, preventing lawsuits against governments, for countries found to be involved in terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. It would allow survivors of the attacks, and relatives of those killed in the attacks, to seek damages from other countries. In this case, it would allow lawsuits to proceed in federal court in New York as lawyers try to prove that the Saudis were involved in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York, a co-sponsor, said the bill is overdue and that, because it only applies to attacks on U.S. soil, does not risk lawsuits against the United States. “Today the Senate has spoken loudly and unanimously that the families of victims of terrorist attacks should be able to hold the perpetrators, even if it’s a country, a nation, accountable,” Schumer told a news conference.

Headline:    Yemen conflict: Houthis ‘carry out wave of detentions’

Headline: Yemen govt suspends participation in peace talks

Headline: Yemen’s south to announce independence on Saturday

Houthi rebels in Yemen have carried out a wave of arrests of their opponents, seizing them at gunpoint and torturing some, Amnesty International says. An examination of 60 cases revealed a pattern of arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances, according to a new report by the human rights group. Politicians, journalists, academics and activists have been among those held. Amnesty’s report documented what it described as a “chilling campaign to quash dissent” in areas of Yemen under the control of the Houthis and allied security forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh since December 2014. Those held had frequently been tortured and denied access to a lawyer or their family, with some detentions lasting for up to 18 months, it said. Many had been kept in secret, makeshift detention centres, including private homes, and then transferred multiple times between locations, it added. In the vast majority of cases no reason for arrests were given.

Egypt

Headline:   Senior Hamas official accuses Fatah of plotting to kill Egypt’s Sisi

A Gazan terror cell forged by Tawfik Tirawi, a senior Fatah official and the former head of the Palestinian Authority General Intelligence Services, was plotting to assassinate Egypt’s President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, a senior Hamas official has claimed. In a press statement on Monday, Hamas representative Salah al-Bardawil said that the recently-arrested members of the alleged Fatah terror cell provided Hamas with information and documents that indicate that they had planned to assassinate Sisi and other senior Egyptian officials. According to Bardawil, the terrorist cell conspired to put the blame for Sisi’s assassination on Hamas, thereby wreaking havoc on Hamas’s relations with Egypt, which have recently grown warmer. “We will convey these documents to Egypt and to other regional parties to show them the grave conspiracy created by Tirawi,” Bardawil stated, adding that Hamas will not allow anyone to damage Egypt’s national security.

Syria Headline:     Exclusive: US warplanes intervene in Syrian war

On Tuesday, May 17, the US expanded its involvement in the war in Syria, and for the first time since the war began in 2011, US F-16 fighter-bombers bombed radical Syrian rebels fighting Iranian, Syrian and Hizballah forces near Aleppo, debkafile’s military and intelligence sources say in an exclusive report. According to the sources, the targets were mainly troops, positions, and transportation routes of rebel groups such as ISIS and the Nusra Front that also threaten moderate Syrian rebel groups in the area. But there is no doubt that the American airstrikes will help Syrian President Bashar Assad, just like the Russian bombings have done. The US warplanes took off from Incirlik airbase in southern Turkey and entered Syrian airspace over Idlib province in northern Syria.
Our sources said that the airstrikes were coordinated with the Russian air force command at Hmeymim airbase next to Latakia, and via American and Russian officers operating from the Jordanian capital Amman. There is no doubt that the intervention was a turnaround by the administration of President Barack Obama that until now had opposed any US air force operation inside Syria due to concern over tipping the balance in favor of one of the warring sides. There are now no less than ten air forces engaged in the Syrian war: those of the US, Russia, Israel, Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Syria, Turkey and Jordan. Last week, ahead of the US air force’s entry, the Pentagon reinforced the American special forces troops at Remalan airbase, located in northern Syria next to the Kurdish city of Hassakeh. Obama previously announced that 250 troops had been deployed to reinforce the 50 already on the ground. But debkafile’s military sources report that the actual number of US soldiers at the base is much higher, and that the troops have attack and transport helicopters that can deliver them within a short period of time to any of the fronts in Syria.  The US air force attacks on the Aleppo and Idlib fronts are expected to continue in the coming days.

Syria Headline:    Activists: Airstrike in central Syria kills at least 12 people

Two opposition activist groups are reporting that an air raid on a central Syrian town has killed at least 12 people, including children. The Local Coordination Committees said Wednesday’s air raid on the town of Rastan killed 12 people, while the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that 13 were killed, including a family of parents, their two sons and four daughters. An amateur video posted by activists online showed several bodies, including those of three children, placed on the floor and covered with a sheet. The video appeared genuine and corresponded to other Associated Press reporting of the events.

Syria Headline:    Syrian army exposes rebels’ supply lines between Latakia, Idlib

The Syrian government forces have advanced in the mountains of the northwestern province of Latakia, exposing supply lines connecting Latakia with the rebel-held nearby Idlib province, a monitor group reported. The Syrian army advanced on Wednesday in northern Latakia, capturing the key hilltop of Hidadeh, near the administrative borders of Idlib, large swathes of which have fallen to the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front and the so-called Conquer Army. By capturing Hidadeh, the Syrian army has exposed the roads connecting the al-Akrad Mountains in Latakia with the Jisr al-Shughour area in Idlib.

Meanwhile, battles continued between the Syrian army and the IS militants in the al-Shaer gas field in the eastern countryside of the central province of Homs, reports said. The Syrian army is fighting hard to recapture the field, which has fallen to the IS, when its militants unleashed a wide-scale offensive earlier this week in their quest to control gas and oil fields in Syria. The Syrian forces’ push toward the gas field was taking place on Wednesday under Russian air cover amid reports that the military forces are working to cut the IS supply lines east of the field.

Iraqi Headline:  Bombs hit markets in Baghdad, killing at least 36

Iraqi Headline:  ISIS’s Explosive Attacks in the Greater Baghdad Area: April 4-May 11, 2016

A wave of bombings struck outdoor markets in Shiite-dominated neighborhoods of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least 69 people, officials said — the latest in deadly militant attacks far from the front lines in the country’s north and west where Iraqi forces are battling the Daesh group. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, though it bore the hallmarks of the extremist Daesh group, which has been behind recent deadly attacks in the Iraqi capital and beyond. Since its blitz in the summer of 2014, Daesh has controlled significant areas in northern and western Iraq, including the country’s second-largest city of Mosul. Scores have also been wounded in the wave of attacks. The death toll rose after a bombing in the northeastern Baghdad neighborhood of Habibiyah killed nine people and wounded 18 early on Tuesday afternoon. Police officials say the attack targeted a restaurant. In the largest attack of the day, a car bomb struck a crowded market in Baghdad’s northeastern Shaab neighborhood, killing 34 people there and wounded 75. Elsewhere in the Iraqi capital, at least 26 were killed. The deadliest bombing on Tuesday took place in Baghdad’s northeastern Shaab neighborhood, where at least 28 people died and 65 others were wounded.

Iraqi Headline: Iraqi forces report recapturing city in western Anbar

The Iraqi military has claimed that it, along with “tribal forces,” have recaptured the western city of Ar Rutbah. Rutbah sits within the desert and has long been an Islamic State stronghold. After officially launching the operation yesterday, the military has reported its forces have entered the city and “liberated the city’s northern entrance.” Reuters has also reported that the military was able to penetrate the city from the south and take control of a district. The wire news service also quoteed an Iraqi military official as saying, “We expect we will be able to reach the center of Rutbah tomorrow morning.” The official says that the military “faced little resistance” in the town, but the Islamic State has claimed otherwise. The Islamic State, via its Amaq News Agency, claims to have utilized two suicide bombers in recent days on Iraqi troops near Rutbah. The Iraqi military said that Sunni tribal fighters have assisted in the effort to recapture the town. According to Ahl al Bayt News Agency, a Shia news site, the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU’s) are also involved. However, as of publishing, it is unclear if the PMU forces taking part are Sunni units or the larger Shia militias which dominate the force. In the last four days, the US has launched at least six airstrikes against Islamic State positions in or near Rutbah. On May 14, US CENTCOM reported that “four strikes struck an ISIL [an acronym for the Islamic State] tactical unit, an ISIL headquarters, an ISIL vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED or suicide car bomb) facility, and an ISIL staging facility.” In the last two days, two airstrikes hit 10 fighting positions and another VBIED.

Kurdish Headline:    Kurds clash with regime troops in Hasakeh

Fighting has erupted between Kurdish security forces and pro-regime troops in the city of Hasakeh, where both sides maintain an uneasy power-sharing agreement. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Wednesday morning that “heavy gunfire was heard” in the provincial capital as Kurdish Asayesh internal security members battled regime troops and loyalist militias. Local activists told the NGO tracking developments in war-torn Syria that “explosions were heard reverberating in the city” amid confirmed reports of injuries among the ranks of both sides. Meanwhile, the ANHA news agency, which is close to Syria’s Kurdish fighting forces, reported that “Syrian regime troops attacked an Asayesh checkpoint and civilians in Qamishli Street in the Hasakeh city center at 9:00 a.m.” One civilian was “shot in the chest” amid the clashes, the outlet added, without mentioning any other casualties. An Asayesh official told the outlet that “our forces… were able to repel the attack, and brought the situation under control.” He added that initial reports indicate that five pro-regime fighters were killed in the fighting, while dozens others were injured.

Kurdish Headline:      Turkey hit Kurdish city with internationally-banned Phosphorus bombs: activists

The Turkish army forces have reportedly used the internationally-banned Phosphorus bombs in its military campaign on the Kurdish city of Nusaybin, southeast Turkey, activists and eyewitnesses reported on Tuesday. This comes amid continuous military operations by the Turkish troops against the Kurdish city of Nusaybin, that have not stopped since 14 March. Medical sources in the war-torn city confirmed the army’s use of Phosphorus bombs against civilians. Nusaybin has been exposed to daily bombardment by the Turkish military for the past two months, using heavy artillery and tanks in its operations, where hundreds of houses have been burned and destroyed, amid the displacement of thousands of Kurdish civilians from their hometown. According to reports, many civilians are still stranded in war-torn neighbourhoods of Nusaybin. Speaking to ARA News, media activists Akram Baraka reported that the Turkish army used Phosphorus bombs in its attack on Nusaybin on Tuesday. “After launching the bombs, we saw white smoke followed by increasingly black smoke and then the targeted buildings were exposed to huge fires,” he said.

Headline: Turkish warplanes hit PKK targets in Turkey, Iraq

Turkish warplanes hit Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) targets in southeast Turkey and northern Iraq, killing at least ten fighters, security sources said on Wednesday. The military has been carrying out regular air strikes against positions of the outlawed group in the mountainous regions of northern Iraq, where it has camps near the Turkish border, after the collapse of ceasefire last year. Meanwhile, four Turkish soldiers were killed and nine others were wounded on Wednesday in an attack on a military convoy blamed on PKK militants, the army said. The military convoy was travelling on the road between Semdinli and Aktutun in the southeastern Hakkari province when it was hit by the roadside bomb left by the “separatist terror group,” the army said, using its customary phrase for the PKK. The nine injured soldiers were taken to hospital, four of them in serious condition.

Texas will not lift its sanctions on Iran and will take no part in the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with the Islamic republic, which has made the world a “more dangerous and compromised” place, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott told Jewish media at a meeting in New York on Monday afternoon. The governor formally responded on Monday to a letter by President Barack Obama on April 8 requesting that Texas “review” its economic sanctions against Iran as part of the deal concluded last year. In his response to the president, Abbott wrote: “Because the Iran deal is fundamentally flawed and does not permanently dismantle Iran’s nuclear capability, Texas will maintain its sanctions against Iran. “Further, because your administration has recklessly and unilaterally removed critical sanctions, I have called on the Texas Legislature to strengthen the Iran sanctions that Texas already has in place,” he added.

Afghanistan

Headline:   Afghanistan signs draft accord with militant leader

Afghanistan signed a draft agreement with the Hezb-e-Islami militant group on Wednesday in a move the government hopes could lead to a full peace accord with one of the most notorious warlords in the insurgency. Hezb-e-Islami leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar is a veteran of decades of Afghan war and rights groups have accused his group of widespread abuses, particularly during the civil war of the early 1990s, when he briefly served as prime minister. The United States has also linked the group to al Qaeda and the Taliban and put Hekmatyar on its designated terrorist list. Hezb-e-Islami has played only a minor role in the Taliban-led insurgency in recent years and the deal is unlikely to have any immediate practical impact on security. But with little sign that the Taliban are ready to join peace talks, the deal offers President Ashraf Ghani’s government a concrete sign that it is making headway in drawing insurgent groups away from the battlefield and into the political process. Mohammad Khan, deputy to government Chief Executive Abdullah, said the draft accord was a positive step but more work would be needed for a final deal. “We are optimistic about this agreement and we strongly support it,” he told reporters in Kabul before the accord was signed by a delegation from Hekmatyar’s party and officials from Afghanistan’s High Peace Council. But he added: “This doesn’t mean it’s finalised.”

Headline: Libyan forces retake checkpoint south of Misrata

A leading international rights group on Wednesday released a report documenting atrocities by Libya’s Islamic State affiliate — including instances of “crucifixions” and shooting a man to death for “cursing God” — in the coastal city of Sirte, a stronghold of the militants. Human Rights Watch recounts “scenes of horror” that followed the city’s seizure by ISIS militants in February 2015, with beheadings of dozens of residents accused of being spies or sorcerers. Men were flogged for acts such as smoking or listening to music, and fathers were ordered to “marry off their daughters” to the group’s fighters as ISIS spread a wave of terror among the townspeople. The 41-page HRW report entitled “‘We Feel We Are Cursed’: Life under ISIS in Sirte, Libya,” is based on interviews with 45 Sirte residents conducted by the New York-based group in March. The residents were among the two thirds of the city’s 80,000-strong population that fled after Islamic State overran Sirte.

The Venezuelan opposition was quickly greeted with obstruction and tear gas on Wednesday after launching a march in Caracas over a referendum seeking to oust President Nicolas Maduro. The march was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. local time in Caracas’ Venezuela Plaza and within half an hour there were widespread reports of security officials, mainly the Venezuelan National Guard, using tear gas against demonstrators and obstructing protesters’ paths. Several marches were held nationwide aimed to descend on the regional headquarters of Venezuela’s National Electoral Council, or CNE. “CNE rectors, high military commanders and government officials: Do not be complicit in human rights violations that Maduro advances to cling to power,” opposition leader and National Assembly member Freddy Guevara said in a statement. Meanwhile, under the state of emergency imposed by President Nicolas Maduro, the military, along with government-organized civilian committees, ensures that food packets are delivered door-to-door in order to — as officials say — cut out black market operators.Haydee Teran, a 48-year-old housewife who had been lining up for hours at the supermarket hoping to buy some scarce essentials, said Guarenas officials ordered that half of the food deliveries heading to shops and markets be instead diverted for local distribution.

The first roadside bomb exploded as a police patrol vehicle was passing in the neighborhood of Aslam Dheri in the southern outskirts of Peshawar, the capital of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province. Twenty minutes later, a second explosion targeted police, rescuers and others who had gathered at the site of the first blast to help the casualties. “A policeman embraced martyrdom and three others were wounded in two bomb blasts,” said senior police official, Sajjad Khan. A hospital official, Zulfiqar Ali Babakhel, also said that one dead and ten injured, including three policemen and seven civilians, were transferred to hospital. He added that a driver of private AAJ television was among the injured, adding that he had come to the site after the first explosion. No group has claimed responsibility for the twin blasts yet but pro-Taliban militants often target military men and civilians.

That represents 101 percent of the country’s annual GDP — 1.08 trillion euros — in 2015. The government estimates the debt ratio will be 99.1 percent of GDP at the end of 2016.

The April 2016 edition of the Refugee Health Quarterly, published by the Minnesota Department of Health reports that: Minnesota had 150 cases of TB in 2015, compared to 147 cases in 2014 (a 2 percent increase). The most common risk factor for TB cases in Minnesota is being from a country where TB is common. TB screening is offered to all refugees during the domestic refugee health exam. In 2014, 22 percent of refugees screened tested positive for LTBI (latent tuberculosis infection). 26 percent of all foreign born cases of tuberculosis in Minnesota were from people born in Somalia. Somalians almost exclusively enter the state through the refugee resettlement program. More than 70,000 refugees have been resettled in the United States annually for the past three decades by the federal government. It’s not just tuberculosis being brought in by these resettled refugees. Measles, whooping cough, diptheria, and other diseases that were on their way to eradication are also coming in across the borders of the United States.

Headline:  Over 200 families feared buried by landslides in Sri Lanka

Massive landslides triggered by torrential rains crashed down onto three villages in the central hills of Sri Lanka, and more than 200 families were missing Wednesday and feared buried under the mud and debris, the Sri Lankan Red Cross said. Sixteen bodies have already been recovered and about 180 people have been rescued from the enormous piles of mud unleashed at around 5 p.m. Tuesday, according to military spokesman Brig. Jayanath Jayaweera. Villagers recalled hearing and seeing the torrents of muddy water, tree branches and debris crashing down around their homes.
“I heard a huge sound like a plane crashing into the earth,” said 52-year-old A.G. Kamala, who had just returned to her house in Siripura village when the landslides hit. “I opened my door. I could not believe my eyes, as I saw something like a huge fireball rolling down the mountain and again a huge sound.” More than 300 soldiers were joined by local residents digging through the mud with their hands, sticks and shovels to search for survivors in the farming villages of Siripura, Pallebage and Elagipitya in Kegalle District, about 72 kilometers (45 miles) north of Colombo, Jayaweera said. Heavy fog and continuing rain, along with electricity outages and the instability of the ground, were complicating rescue efforts. Some 220 families were reported missing, the Sri Lankan Red Cross said in a statement. Officials could not give the village populations, but such villages typically include about 1,000-1,500 residents each. As anxious family members waited for news about missing loved ones, officials said the full extent of the tragedy was still unclear.

Headline: ‘Volcano of Fire’ erupts in Guatemala, prompting evacuations – PHOTOS

A volcanic eruption at Guatemala’s Volcan de Fuego, one of the most active volcanoes in Central America, has sparked the evacuation of the area surrounding the peak. Guatemala’s National Institute for Seismology and Vulcanology are reporting that an ash column reaching 5,500 meters (18,000 feet) above sea level has emerged, while “moderate” lava flow is pouring out of the mountain. “This pyroclastic flow was accompanied by moderate rumble of the volcano [and] fallen ash is reported in the villages of El Rodeo, La Rochelle, Osuna, Panimache, Morelia, Sangre de Cristo and Yepocapa,” a statement by the government agency confirmed. The alert also recommends that people steer clear of the canyon near the volcano. Bombero de Antigua, a disaster relief team in the area, has tweeted that at least one school has been evacuated in the municipality of Alotenango.
