Headline:  Two Israeli soldiers wounded in West Bank stabbing

Two Israeli soldiers were wounded on Wednesday morning in a stabbing attack at the Shiloh Junction in the northern West Bank. One of the victims was seriously wounded in his upper body and the other sustained light injuries to his back. The assailant was shot and killed on the spot. The soldiers, both around 20 years old, were attacked on Route 60, near the entrance to the Ma’ale Levona settlement and the Palestinian village of Sinjil, just after 10 A.M. They were initially treated by medics on site and then transferred to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem. The two soldiers both serve in the Tavor Battalion of the Home Front Command. They were sitting in an ambulance at the time of the attack, called to the area to reinforce the security guards manning the Shiloh area roads over the Passover holiday. The assailant approached the ambulance and stabbed one of the soldiers, a medic, lightly wounding him. The assailant then stabbed a paramedic in his neck, inflicting serious wounds.

Headline:  Qatar lends Palestinians $100 million to pay salaries: Palestinians

The Palestinian Authority said on Wednesday it had received a $100 million loan from Qatar to help pay civil servants salaries and alleviate an economic crisis triggered by a row with Israel over taxes. President Mahmoud Abbas, who is visiting the Gulf state, issued a statement thanking Qatar for the loan. There was no immediate confirmation or comment from Qatari officials.Israel collects taxes on behalf of Abbas’s Palestinian Authority but suspended payments of some $130 million a month in January to protest at moves by the Palestinians to join the International Criminal Court (ICC). Palestinian membership of the ICC started on April 1, opening the way for possible law suits against Israel for alleged war crimes tied to its lengthy occupation of territory the Palestinians want for an independent state. Following widespread criticism by Western allies, Israel earlier this month released some of the frozen tax revenue, but withheld a portion of the cash, saying it was money Palestinians owed for utilities and health care supplied by Israel. Abbas said the deductions amounted to a third of the total sum that Israel owed and refused to accept any of the money, threatening to go to the ICC over the issue.

Headline:  Lebanese army says it killed 3 militants in raid near border with Syria

The Lebanese army says it has killed three militants and wounded four others in a raid near the border with Syria. In a statement issued on Tuesday, the military says it carried out the raid in the hills of Mkhairmeh based on information that “terrorist groups” were preparing logistics for combat operations there. It says the army attack was in the context of “preventive military operations” to eradicate militant groups and prevent them from infiltrating Lebanon to target army outposts and civilians. The Lebanese military occasionally clashes with Syria-based militants from the Islamic State group and the Nusra Front.

The 356 AGM-114K/R3 Hellfire II Air-to-Ground missiles, together with associated equipment and support, would be worth an estimated $57 million, according to the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which notified Congress of the possible sale. “Egypt will use the enhanced capability as a deterrent to regional threats and to strengthen its homeland defense,” the agency said. “While this potential sale would be the first transfer of the R variant of this missile to Egypt, Egypt already has the F and K variants in its inventory and will have no difficulty absorbing these additional missiles.”

Headline:  Yemen war: Saudis prevented Russian evacuations by air, bombed Moscow’s spy center in Aden

Saudi Arabia has gone head to head with Russia as Iran’s ally in Yemen. Moscow claims to have evacuated hundreds of Russian nationals from Yemen by an air lift running out of Sanaa airport, but debkafile’s exclusive intelligence and military sources reveal that not a single Russian plane has taken off from any Yemeni airport since March 27, when Saudi Arabia launched its military offensive against the pro-Iranian Houthi rebels. The Saudiis warned Russia that they would not be responsible for the safety of any flights landing at a Yemeni airport or the passengers assembled there for evacuation, while their air force conducted strikes against the rebels. Having achieved control of Yemen’s skies in the early stages of their intervention, the Saudis declared its air space a no-fly zone. This warning gained substance when, on April 1, Saudi F-15 warplanes bombed the Russian consulate in the second largest Yemeni city, Aden. A Russian witness said that not a single window was left in the building and all Russian citizens would have to leave the town. According to debkafile’s sources, the building was in fact completely demolished in order to dismantle Russia’s regional intelligence-gathering center which operated out of the consulate building and fed Iranian intelligence with data on military movements in the neighborhood. It functioned according to the same system as Russian spy stations in Syria, which routinely keep their Iranian colleagues au fait with military activities, including Israeli army movements. The intelligence gathered by the Aden facility was no doubt passed on by Iranian agents to the Houthi commanders, certainly after Al Qods Brigades chief Gen. Qassem Soleimani arrived in Sanaa to direct the rebel offensive after the Saudi offensive was launched.

Headline:  Iranian ships ‘not allowed’ in Yemeni waters says Saudi General

A state-run broadcaster in Iran is reporting that the Islamic Republic has sent a navy destroyer and another vessel to waters near Yemen amid a Saudi-led airstrike campaign. Iran’s English-language Press TV on Wednesday quoted Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari saying that the vessels would be part of an anti-piracy campaign “safeguarding naval routes for vessels in the region.” However, the maneuver comes as a coalition of Saudi-led countries is launching airstrikes targeting Shiite rebels in Yemen known as Houthis. Critics say Shiite power Iran backs the Houthis, though both the Islamic Republic and the rebels deny any direct military assistance.

Headline:  WHO Revises Death Toll in Yemen Fighting to 643

Dozens of Yemeni Houthi fighters clashed with local militiamen in the central Aden district of Crater on Wednesday and mosques broadcast calls for jihad to combat the Houthi forces trying to take over the southern Yemeni port city, residents said. They said several houses were on fire after being hit by rockets, and families stayed indoors as fighting raged from street to street. The Houthis, who are allied to soldiers loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, advanced into Crater on Wednesday morning with a tank and two armoured vehicles, one resident said. Mosques in Crater called on the population to wage holy war against the Houthis, their loudspeakers, usually reserved for sermons and the call to prayer, broadcasting: “God is the greatest! Rise for jihad!” The battle in the old centre of Aden came a day after fighters from the city said they had pushed the Houthis and allied troops from positions in northern Aden neighbourhoods, which they said cut Houthi supply lines into the centre.

Headline:   U.S. expands military involvement in Yemen’s proxy war between Iran, Saudis

U.S. military officials said the Pentagon has expanded weapons shipments to the Saudi-led Arab coalition now conducting an air campaign against Iran-backed Shiite Houthi rebels in Yemen. By taking an active interest, the United States is deepening its involvement in the Yemen conflict which is being viewed in the region as a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The McClatchy news agency reported that the weapons are likely precision-guided weapons as the Saudi alliance has no troops on the ground to provide targeting coordinates. “It’s a combination of pre-existing orders to our partners and some new requirements,” said Army Col. Steve Warren, describing the arms shipments. In another indication of increased U.S. involvement, an American military team headed by Marine Maj. Gen. Sam Bundy, deputy commander of the Marines at the U.S. Central Command, has joined a “joint fusion center” in Saudi Arabia that is conducting the air strikes in Yemen.

Syria Headline:  2 deadly car bombs hit rebel bases in Syria

A pair of car bombs targeted two rebel bases north of the Syrian city of Aleppo on Tuesday, killing and wounding dozens, two activist groups said. The attacks targeted compounds belonging to Islamic opposition groups in the countryside north of Aleppo, a strategic stretch of territory because of its proximity to neighboring Turkey. Long a stronghold for Syrian rebels, the area has been a flash point since the Islamic State group advanced into the region several months ago. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the first bombing hit the town of Marea, killing at least seven people, including two rebel leaders, and wounding dozens more. It said a second explosion in the Hur Kilis area killed and wounded up to 40 people, although the Observatory did not have exact figures. The Aleppo Media Center activist group put the toll in the first blast at 12 killed and more than 15 wounded. It reported at least 30 casualties in the second attack in Hur Kilis.

Syria Headline:   Assad looses ISIS against Palestinians trapped in Yarmouk camp – a sinister new partnership

Syria Headline:   Syrian minister calls for military op in Yarmouk

Syria Headline:   Syria set to offer Palestinians firepower

Obama’s rapprochement with Iran and its Middle East allies has produced an incredibly sinister new twist in the Syrian war as it enters its fifth year. The atrocity-ridden conflict finds 16,000 Palestinians trapped in horrible conditions in the Yarmouk refugee camp of Damascus and beset by two enemies: the Islamic State and the President Bashar Assad’s army.
The world has been shown three players in the vicious Yarmouk contest: The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, whose jihadis are slashing through the refugee camp and massacring its Palestinian inmates, the second player, and the Syrian army, the third, which appears to be fighting to keep the Islamists from reaching central Damascus. The camp lies 8.5 km from Assad’s presidential palace. The Islamists are usually presented as fighting to settle a score with the camp’s inmates, because the Hamas majority is aligned with Iran and Hizballah, ISIS’s deadliest foes. But even this evil scenario is not crazy enough to cover the new patchwork of alliances revealed here by debkafile’s military and intelligence sources. Syrian troops were actually directed by Assad to open the roads to Damascus and give the Islamists a free path to their Palestinian victims. This saved ISIS the need to detach substantial strength from other fronts for its Yarmouk operation. ISIS is winning its cheapest victory yet as a result of a secret understanding reached by the Syrian president with the Islamists’ leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, which evolved from their covert partnership in the oil and gas fields of eastern Syria.

Syria Headline:   Syrian rebels report new gains in Daraa

Subsequent to fierce battles with the Syrian regime’s forces, factions of the armed opposition forces reportedly seized control of the town of Kafr Shams in the northern countryside of Daraa, southern Syria, on Tuesday. According to military sources, the opposition fighters launched an offensive on a major checkpoint held by the regime’s forces in the vicinity of the town of Kafr Shams. Jassim Mutawe, a fighter in the ranks of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in Daraa’s countryside, stated to ARA News that the town of Kafr Shams has a great importance “as it opens the path for the rebels to control the strategic village of Qita”, which is the gateway to the city of Sanamayn, the second largest city in the countryside of Daraa after Nawa. Mutawe added that the Syrian regime brought in large military reinforcements “including Iraqi and Iranian Shiite militias” to Qita following the withdrawal of its soldiers from the town of Kafr Shams. Daraa witnesses fierce battles between pro-Assad army forces –Shiite militias– and the opposition forces, who were able last week to control the Nasib crossing, the last crossing held by the regime on the Jordanian border. Seizing control of Nasib border crossing and the city of Bosra Sham (in the eastern countryside of Daraa) are considered as the most prominent gains by the armed opposition forces in Southern Syria.

Activists in Deir ez-Zor reported that IS is trying to attract youngsters in Deir ez-Zor to join the newly opened camp, which is expected to provide qualitative training about tactical military operations as well as street fighting to its members and new recruits. Taim Ali, a civil rights activist based in Deir ez-Zor, told ARA News that the group transferred dozens of its fighters to the battlefront in northern Syria and Iraq, after suffering heavy losses during battles against the Kurdish forces and while under airstrikes by the U.S.-led international coalition. “IS pays salaries to the youth who recently enrolled in the camp in an attempt to attract more recruits to and encourage them to engage in battles,” Ali said.

Iraq Headline:  Iraqi forces move against Islamic State in Sunni heartland Anbar

Iraqi security forces launched a new offensive against Islamic State insurgents in the Sunni Muslim heartland of Anbar on Wednesday, seeking to build on a victory over the jihadist group last week in the city of Tikrit. Fighting began in the western province’s desert terrain as Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi was touring Anbar, visiting Iraqi army units and pro-government Sunnis, his office said. Abadi was expected to address the nation from Anbar later in the day. “Our next stand and battle will be from Anbar to liberate it entirely,” Abadi said in a post on his official Facebook page. “We will prevail in Anbar as we prevailed in Tikrit.” Army officers said Islamic State militants were driven back on Wednesday in the Sijariya area east of the Anbar capital Ramadi and Falluja — the region’s two key cities, where the ultra-radical Sunni group has been dominant. Islamic State was retreating from Sijariya, trading mortar fire with government forces, military sources said. A senior Iraqi officer in Ramadi said the purpose of clearing Sijariya was to secure supply routes to the nearby Habbaniya air base and to weaken the jihadists’ grip on territory connecting Ramadi and Falluja.

Eight Iranian border guards were killed by militants in a cross-border raid on the frontier with Pakistan on Monday, according to reports in the Iranian media. Sistan-Baluchistan province in southeast Iran has long been plagued by unrest from both drug smuggling gangs and separatist militants. “The armed terrorists entered Iranian soil from Pakistani soil and clashed with the guards,” Ali Asghar Mirshekari, the deputy governor of the province, told the IRNA news agency. “They killed eight members of the border guards and fled to Pakistani soil.” The attack happened only two days before Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was scheduled to visit Pakistan. Tasnim Aslam, a spokeswoman for the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs, condemned the attack and noted that a militant group called Jaish Al-Adl had claimed responsibility, according to Iranian state media. “It’s necessary that the two countries work together on this issue in order to maintain security in the border areas,” she said. Jaish Al-Adl is a Sunni militant group that has carried out attacks against Iranian security forces with the aim of highlighting what they say is discrimination against Sunni Muslims and the ethnic Baluch in the province.

Iran’s negotiator in the nuclear negotiations and its nuclear chief revealed on Tuesday that after a final deal is signed by a June 30 deadline on the framework reached last week, Iran will unleash its most advanced centrifuges for uranium enrichment, threatening a quick turnover in producing a nuclear weapon. Iran’s semi-official FARS news agency reported on a closed meeting held Tuesday by Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) chief Ali Akbar Salehi, in which they briefed members of Iran’s parliament on the deal being finalized. In their statements, they said Iran’s most advanced IR-8 centrifuges will be used as soon as the deal removing world sanctions against Iran begins. The report noted the two said the advanced centrifuges enrich uranium 20 times faster than the current IR-1 models, meaning they would radically reduce the breakout time needed for Iran to obtain a nuclear arsenal.

Soldiers from both sides were wounded in the shooting, which erupted shortly after the diplomat left the compound aboard a helicopter, according to U.S. and Afghan sources. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, estimated that around six American personnel were wounded, but the Pentagon said only that “several” were injured in the attack. “I can confirm that one American soldier was killed today,” Colonel Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters. Asked whether this was an insider attack by an Afghan soldier turning his weapon against NATO forces, Warren said: “It’s a little early to tell. Indications are leaning that way.”

The Islamic State’s “Tripoli province” released a new video calling for Tunisian supporters to help ISIS conquer Libya, as a strategic step towards conquering Tunisia. In the video, a masked ISIS gunman from Tripoli threatens to slaughter Tunisia’s leaders and avenge the imprisonment of ISIS supporters there. Local reports say that Tunisian prisons currently hold at least 150 jihadists who returned from fighting in Syria. “The Islamic State is only a few kilometers from you [Tunisia], we are coming”, he says. “Brothers, come to Libya. Don’t be humiliated by the [Tunisian] dictators. Muslims have their own state now.” The video ends with old footage from the ISIS attack against the Iranian embassy in Tripoli, which took place on Feb. 22, 2015. Tunisia is considered to be the largest exporter of ISIS fighters, and the group is also steadily gaining domestic influence there, with ISIS claiming responsibility for last month’s terrorist attack in Tunis. The Islamic State’s English propaganda magazine, Dabiq, dedicated their last issue to ISIS expansion across Africa, and the cover image was a picture of Tunisia’s landmark Mosque of Kairouan.

In a joint press conference with visiting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the war in Yemen was high on the agenda during his talks with the Turkish leader. “We talked about Iraq, Syria, Palestine … We had a long discussion about Yemen. We both think that war and bloodshed must stop in this area immediately, and a complete ceasefire must be established,” Rouhani said, adding that the Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen must halt. The Iranian president said he hoped that Turkey and Iran could end the Yemen war “with the help of other countries in the region” and bring “peace, stability” to the Middle Eastern country. Turkey has joined the Saudi-led coalition conducting airstrikes against Shiite Houthi rebels in Yemen, who have captured several key Yemeni cities including the capital Sanaa and the southern port city of Aden. Riyadh accuses Tehran of supporting Houthis in toppling President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi’s government. Iran denies the allegations. For his part, Erdogan chose not to comment directly on Yemen’s conflict in the press conference, but talked in detail about his country’s relations with Iran, and civil wars in Syria and Iraq. “We discussed Iraq. A hundred thousand people have been killed there. So far, more than 300 thousand have been killed in Syria. All were Muslims. We do not know who is killing who,” Erdogan said. “We have to get united and stop the killing and bloodshed. We have to bring together those who are fighting,” the Turkish leader added.

Headline: Fifteen Mexican police officers killed in deadly ambush in Jalisco state

Fifteen Mexican police officers have been killed and five seriously wounded in the deadliest single attack on the country’s security forces in recent memory. The officers’ convoy was ambushed as it drove along a winding mountain road in the western state of Jalisco on Monday afternoon. The gunmen, believed to belong to the New Generation Jalisco cartel, reportedly used burning vehicles to block the road while they openend fire with machine guns and grenade launchers from the mountainsides. Monday’s ambush produced the biggest death toll since 2010, when 12 federal officers were killed in the neighbouring state of Michoacán in an attack blamed on the La Familia cartel. It has also drawn attention to the security crisis in Jalisco, in which orchestrated attacks on the security forces and public officials have been escalating in recent months, mostly blamed on the New Generation Jalisco cartel.

Wars & Rumors of Wars Matthew 24:6 , Revelation 6:3-4 & Revelation 6:8 ^“ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Revelation 6:3-4 speaks of the fiery red horse given power to make men slay one another and Revelation 6:8 speaks again of this red horse in conjunction with the pale horse of Death and Hades, as the one that has the power to kill by sword.

Headline:  Northcom: China’s Three Missile Submarines a ‘Concern’

The Chinese Navy has deployed three ballistic missile submarines at sea capable of striking the United States with nuclear missiles, the commander of the U.S. Northern Command said Tuesday. Adm. William Gortney, the commander, said the submarines are a “concern” and will be able to strike the United States when fully deployed with missiles and warheads.
The missile submarines are deployed in the South China Sea at a base on Hainan Island, according to a defense official. They’ve not loaded their missiles or begun strategic patrols,” the official said. “But we believe they are likely to begin this year.” Gortney also stated explicitly that U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that North Korea is capable of mounting a small nuclear warhead on its new road-mobile KN-08 intercontinental missiles.

Headline:  US aerospace command moving comms gear back to Cold War bunker

The US military command that scans North America’s skies for enemy missiles and aircraft plans to move its communications gear to a Cold War-era mountain bunker, officers said. The shift to the Cheyenne Mountain base in Colorado is designed to safeguard the command’s sensitive sensors and servers from a potential electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack, military officers said. The Pentagon last week announced a $700 million contract with Raytheon Corporation to oversee the work for North American Aerospace Command (NORAD) and US Northern Command. Admiral William Gortney, head of NORAD and Northern Command, said that “because of the very nature of the way that Cheyenne Mountain’s built, it’s EMP-hardened.” “And so, there’s a lot of movement to put capability into Cheyenne Mountain and to be able to communicate in there,” Gortney told reporters. “My primary concern was… are we going to have the space inside the mountain for everybody who wants to move in there, and I’m not at liberty to discuss who’s moving in there,” he said.

Headline:  Southern California reportedly faces cut in water deliveries this summer

Headline:  Smart Meters: Enforcement Of Mandatory Water Restrictions Is Only Just The Beginning

Southern California’s water wholesaler reportedly is planning to cut deliveries of imported water to 26 cities and districts in response to the state’s ongoing drought. According to The Los Angeles Times, the rationing measure by the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) will take effect July 1 and was in the works before California Gov. Jerry Brown mandated a 25 percent cut in water use by the state’s cities and towns last week. The size of the cutback has not been revealed, but the Times reports that the MWD could reduce deliveries by between 10 and 20 percent, which would amount to between 200,000 and 400,000 fewer acre-feet of water. An acre-foot of water is enough to supply two households for one year. If a local agency needs more water than their allocation, they will be required to pay a surcharge of up to $2,690 per acre-foot for extra deliveries. That could raise the cost of water by roughly fourfold for agencies and, possibly, residents.

Headline:   Taiwan rations water amid drought

Taiwan has begun rationing water supplies to more than one million households as it tackles the island’s worst drought in years. Water supplies will be cut off entirely for two days each week, on a rotating basis, in several northern cities. The shortage is due to reduced rainfall, leaving water levels in reservoirs far below capacity. But a leaky delivery system, silt build-up in reservoirs and wastage are also being blamed. Late last month, the government said the dry spell was forecast to continue. “The water supply situation is urgent as Taiwan had the lowest rainfall last autumn and winter since 1947,” the economics affairs ministry said. “We may have delayed or no monsoon rains at all… We urge the public to co-operate during this difficult time.” The rationing is affecting New Taipei City, neighbouring Taoyuan City and Hsinchu County all in the north of the island. New Taipei surrounds the capital, Taipei, which remains unaffected.

Headline:   37 killed in Bangladesh storms

At least 37 people were killed when powerful storms swept Bangladesh at the weekend and left a trail of devastation in the northwest, officials said Monday. Rescuers and villagers recovered the bodies of victims after the storms flattened thousands of houses, uprooted trees and electricity poles and damaged paddy fields across a large area on Saturday night and Sunday. Nineteen people died in the northern district of Bogra, government administrator of the district Shafiqur Reza Biswas told AFP, adding that more than 100 people were injured. “They died mostly after they were hit by falling trees or collapsed houses and walls,” he said, adding that authorities have sent emergency relief to thousands of villagers. In neighbouring Rajshahi district, at least five people were killed and 27 injured as the storm hit a large stretch of low-lying land, another administrator said. “At least 6,960 mud and tin-built houses were completely damaged by the storm,” said Mejbah Uddin Chowdhury. In the western district of Kushtia two people died and around 100 houses were flattened on Sunday. Two died from lightning strikes as the storm hit the southern port city of Chittagong on Monday, government officials told AFP. There were also fatalities in at least nine other districts, officials told local media, bringing the death toll to 37.

Headline:   Palestinian Authority rejects Israel tax transfer

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas says he has refused to accept hundreds of millions of dollars of tax revenues unfrozen by Israel. Mr Abbas says he returned the money because Israel deducted a third to cover unpaid Palestinian utility debts. He has threatened to take Israel to the International Criminal Court (ICC) unless the full amount is released. Israel collects taxes on behalf of the Palestinian Authority (PA), but suspended payments in January. It froze the transfers in protest at the Palestinians joining the ICC. Palestinian membership began on 1 April, giving them the option to pursue Israel for alleged war crimes. Israel says it has deducted the cost of unpaid services provided to the Palestinian population, including electricity, water and hospital bills. The government made the decision to restart payments two weeks ago but warned at the time that it would make deductions from the transfer. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the time Israel would resume payments partly out of “humanitarian considerations”, adding the “deteriorating situation in the Middle East” and rise of extremists required him to “act responsibly and judiciously”. Speaking at a rally in Ramallah, President Abbas demanded the tax revenues in full. “We are returning the money. Either they give it to us in full or we go to arbitration or to the ICC. We will not accept anything else.”

The Lebanese Army killed one Islamist militant and arrested another overnight Sunday during a foiled infiltration attempt into Lebanese territory. One Syrian gunman, Khalil Ahmad, was gunned down by soldiers while another Syrian, Ahmad Hasan, was taken in to custody after a “militant group” attempted to cross into Lebanese territory via the northeastern border, the Army said in a statement Sunday. The militants encountered the Lebanese Army after entering Lebanon from the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal. The statement did not mention the number of militants in the group. The suspect in custody confessed to belonging to one of the terrorist groups stationed across the Lebanese-Syrian border, the statement added. But the Army did not disclose weather he was a member of ISIS or the Nusra Front.

Saudi Arabia

Headline: Pakistan says Saudi asked for warplanes, warships and soldiers

Saudi Arabia has asked Pakistan for military aircraft, warships and soldiers, Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said on Monday, at the start of a parliamentary debate on whether Pakistan should get involved in a Saudi-led campaign in Yemen. Saudi Arabia, the Gulf’s main Sunni Muslim power, has asked Sunni-majority Pakistan to join a Saudi-led military coalition that began conducting air strikes last month against largely Shi’ite Houthi forces in Yemen. Sharif has hedged his bets. He has repeatedly said he will defend any threat to Saudi Arabia’s “territorial integrity” without defining what threat, or what action. “Saudi Arabia has asked for combat planes, warships and soldiers,” Asif said, without specifying where Saudi wanted them deployed. Arif Rafiq, a Washington-based adjunct scholar with the Middle East Institute, said earlier Pakistan was hoping to satisfy Saudi expectations at a “minimal” level. “They’re unlikely to be part of any meaningful action inside Yemen,” he told Reuters. “Maybe they will reinforce the border.”

A Saudi policeman was shot dead and three were wounded during a raid which devolved into a gun battle in the eastern Saudi city of Awamiya on Sunday, state news agency SPA said. “An exchange of fire led to the injury of Corporal Majid bin Turki al-Qahtani, and his death after being taken to hospital – may God have mercy on him and accept him as a martyrs – and wounded three security men, a citizen, and a (foreign) resident,” with moderate wounds, SPA said. The agency said forces undertook the search against “terrorist elements” and retrieved automatic weapons, pistols and communication equipment. It added that four Saudis were arrested after the firefight for targeting the officers. Tension is growing in the country’s oil-rich Eastern province, one of the main centres of the Shiite community in majority Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia, as neighboring Yemen, Iraq and Syria contend with violent sectarian conflict.

Egypt

Headline:  Militants attack church and police in Egypt, one policeman dead

Islamist militants hit Egypt’s two largest cities on Sunday with a bombing in Cairo and an attack on a church in Alexandria, leaving one policeman dead and seven people wounded, security sources said. In a separate incident, the leader of a militant group that has targeted police and soldiers around the capital was killed in a firefight with security forces early on Sunday, the interior ministry said. A bomb explosion on a bridge leading to the upscale Cairo district of Zamalek, which hosts many embassies, killed one policeman, the interior ministry said. Two more officers and a civilian were injured. The force of the bomb, which the sources said was planted in or near a car, left a shallow crater and pools of blood on the 15 May Bridge. In Alexandria, militants in a micro bus shot at the Church of the Angel Rafael, wounding one police officer and three civilians before fleeing, security sources said. On Saturday, two bombs exploded near a police station in the residential Imbaba district across the Nile River from Zamalek, causing no casualties.

Headline: ‘Egypt is Preparing for War with Israel’

Noha Hashad (51), an Egyptian nuclear scientist who fled the Nile state in 2011 after her support of Israel made her a target for torture over many long years, has exposed troubling insights regarding Egypt’s military buildup in the Sinai Peninsula, as it fights terrorist organizations there. Speaking to Israel Hayom‘s Emily Amrousi from her new home in Haifa, Hashad was asked to give her take about Egypt’s actions in Sinai, where the Egyptian army has been fighting radical groups such as Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, a group that recently swore allegiance to Islamic State (ISIS). “That’s all for show,” appraised Hashad. “In the race for the presidency, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis supported (President Abdel Fattah) al-Sisi, who isn’t really fighting them.” The nuclear scientist warned “Egypt is preparing for war with Israel. It armed and trained Hamas in Gaza. Whoever knows Arabic can hear the heads of Egyptian military intelligence talk about wide canals that open up between Israel and Egypt that will be used at the appropriate time.” The warning echoes appraisals by Col. (res.) Dr. Shaul Shay, former deputy head of the Israel National Security Council, who wrote in Israel Defense last December that the “Badr 2014” military maneuver, its largest in decades, was meant to prepare for “a potential conflict with Israel.”

Yemen’s Shia Houthi rebels have made more gains in the city of Aden, despite air strikes by a Saudi-led coalition. Fighting in the southern city has intensified as rebels and forces loyal to President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi battle for control. On Sunday, the rebels advanced further into the city, bombarding residential areas and setting fire to several buildings, AFP reports. Many residents have become trapped in their homes because of the fighting. At least 185 people have been killed and 1,282 injured in Aden since 26 March, health department director Al-Kheder Lassouar said. The toll does not include rebel casualties or victims of air raids, he added. The UN says 500 have been killed over the past two weeks.

Headline: Saudi Arabia set to raze empty villages on Yemen border

Saudi Arabia will raze 96 deserted border villages to prevent their use by infiltrators from neighboring Yemen, where the kingdom is leading air strikes on rebels, a report said Sunday. Ten villages have already been demolished since a Saudi-led military coalition began air strikes on Shiite Houthi rebels on March 26, the Saudi-owned Al-Hayat newspaper reported. It cited the border guard chief in the area, Hassan Aqili, as saying that the move was to prevent the empty houses from turning into “a safe haven for traffickers and infiltrators”. The 15,000 inhabitants were resettled following a 2009-2010 conflict that saw Houthi rebels cross into Saudi Arabia from their stronghold in northern Yemen. The same rebels forced Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi to flee the country to Saudi Arabia last month as they swept towards his southern refuge in Aden after seizing power in the capital. Three Saudi border guards have been shot dead by gunfire from within Yemen since Riyadh launched air raids against the Iran-backed rebels.

Al Qaeda’s Yemen affiliate is expanding its footprint amid the chaos in the country and now providing guidance to the Somalia terror group that claimed responsibility for last week’s deadly terror attack at a university, an intelligence source told Fox News. The warning underscores the growing threat posed by Al Qaeda in Yemen at a time when the advance of Shiite rebels has effectively created a power vacuum in the country, with the unrest stalling what had been a robust U.S. counterterrorism operation there. The intelligence source told Fox News that the affiliate is providing guidance to Somalia’s al-Shabaab on how major plots — like the attack at Garissa University College in Kenya that killed nearly 150 people — can support their regional ambitions. The intelligence source said Al Qaeda in Yemen is providing guidance and fighters, and sharing bomb-making techniques that account for the more sophisticated vehicle-borne explosive devices now being recovered in the region.

Syria Headline:   Islamic State Seizes Palestinian Refugee Camp in Syria

Syria Headline:   Hamas-linked group in Yarmouk to force out ISIL

Islamic State militants have seized most of a sprawling Palestinian refugee district in the southern part of the Syrian capital, Damascus, an area that has been under siege and bombardment for nearly two years already, according to Palestinian and United Nations officials and residents. The officials called for quick action by international organizations, the Syrian government and all armed groups to head off an unfolding catastrophe. Reports of killings and even beheadings were beginning to circulate on Saturday, worsening what is already a longstanding humanitarian nightmare for the 18,000 residents of the Yarmouk refugee camp. By seizing much of the camp, the Islamic State terrorist group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, made its greatest inroads yet into Damascus, a significant step for a group that rose largely in the northern and eastern provinces of Syria, far from the capital. Yet at the same time, the move suggests that as the Islamic State loses ground in Iraq and northeastern Syria, the most daring response it could muster on the ground was to attack one of the most vulnerable populations in Syria.

Terrorists from the Islamic State group have reportedly blown up a church in northeastern Syria on Easter Sunday. The 80-year-old Church of the Virgin Mary in Tel Nasri, an Assyrian village in Syria’s Hassaka province, was destroyed by the terror group, no deaths or injuries were reported, Reuters said, citing a report by the Syrian State News Agency (SANA). Assyrian Christian and Kurdish militia have been battling the Islamic State in the region. In February, the Islamic State abducted hundreds of Assyrian Christians from their villages in northeastern Syria. Meanwhile in Iraq, hundreds of thousands of Assyrian Christians and other minority groups have been persecuted and driven from their homes in northern Iraq as a result of the Islamic State. The terror group has also destroyed numerous churches and antiquities in Iraq as part of an effort to erase Iraq’s non-Islamic past. Assyrian Christian groups recently spearheaded an effort asking that UN missions from various countries call on the UN Security Council to issue a resolution against Islamic State’s persecution of minorities and to take tangible steps to save those vulnerable groups.

Idris Nassan, an official in the Kobani canton, said the men were taken on Sunday evening as they were travelling from the town of Afrin, which is under Kurdish control, to the cities of Aleppo and the capital Damascus. “They left women and children but they kidnapped 300 men and young people,” he said. “They captured them in Tuqad village, 20 kilometres west of Aleppo and then they moved them to al-Dana town in Idlib province,” he said. The Nusra Front has not claimed the kidnapping. Syrian state media did not report the incident. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group, which tracks the conflict from Britain, said Kurds were kidnapped but it was not clear how many.

Headline:  ISIS Sanctuary: April 3, 2015

ISIS lost control over central Tikrit following an offensive by the ISF and allied forces with the support of coalition airstrikes. Tikrit was announced captured by the government on April 1, 2015, and PM Abadi, ISF commanders, and local government officials have toured the city center. Since that time, clashes have not been reported in the city and reports that looting of homes is taking place further indicates that combat operations in Tikrit have ceased. The areas immediately surrounding Tikrit likely remain an ISIS attack zone, however. Meanwhile, ISIS intensified its military campaign in central and western Syria. Over the past month, ISIS launched a series of successful hit-and-run attacks against regime checkpoints, military facilities, and oil installations throughout eastern Homs and Hama Provinces, including several villages along the regime supply route to Aleppo city. ISIS counterbalanced these operations with consistent pressure along frontlines in Ayn al-Arab (Kobani) canton and Hasaka Province meant to dissuade further Kurdish advances into core ISIS terrain. ISIS also reasserted its presence in southern Damascus city, advancing into the Yarmouk Camp district after heavy clashes with rebel forces. The nature of these offensives suggests that ISIS seeks to shape conditions for future territorial gains in the Syrian central corridor while bolstering its narrative of victory following losses in northern Syria and Iraq.

Iran

Headline: Iran ‘is intensifying efforts to support Hamas in Gaza’

Iran has sent Hamas’s military wing tens of millions of dollars to help it rebuild the network of tunnels in Gaza destroyed by Israel’s invasion last summer, intelligence sources have told The Sunday Telegraph. It is also funding new missile supplies to replenish stocks used to bombard residential neighbourhoods in Israel during the war, code-named Operation Protective Edge by Israel. The renewed funding is a sign that the two old allies are putting behind them a rift caused by the conflict in Syria, where Shia Iran is backing President Bashar al-Assad against Hamas’s mainly Sunni allies. Iran has sponsored Hamas’s military operations for years, despite the contradiction that Hamas is part of the worldwide, Sunni-supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, while Iran is Shia. Hamas’s leader, Khaled Meshaal, who left Damascus for Qatar after falling out with the Assad regime, has often fought with Hamas’s military wing over the strength of the Iranian connection. However, with the Sunni Arab world joining forces against Iran, led by Saudi Arabia and President Abdelfattah el-Sisi of Egypt, who are both hostile to Hamas, the Palestinian militant group has been left little option but to accept the Iranian largesse. At the same time, Iran’s overseas operations arm, the Al-Quds force, led by its charismatic general Qassem Suleimani, has been consolidating a broad hold over the Middle East.

Headline: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said ‘preparing for war’ in case deal collapses

Headline: Outline of Iran Nuclear Deal Sounds Different From Each Side

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards “are preparing for war” in the event that negotiations to turn Thursday’s framework nuclear agreement into a binding deal by June 30 collapse, an Israeli TV report said Sunday night, citing Arab intelligence agencies. The Israeli Channel 10 report said Arab intelligence agencies have warned “France, the UK and the US” that the Revolutionary Guards fear Iran could face a military strike should the talks break down, and that the Guards are ready to close the Strait of Hormuz and take other unspecified measures. The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that the US was working as recently as January on improving its biggest bunker buster bombs in case they were needed for strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Sunday Israeli TV report highlighted the major discrepancies that have emerged between the US and Iran since the framework agreement was announced on Thursday, raising the concern that the non-binding understandings reached to date will fall apart and the negotiations collapse. A little over a month ago, the Revolutionary Guards held large-scale naval and air defense drills near the Strait of Hormuz — a strategic Gulf waterway, through which one fifth of the world’s oil passes — in which dozens of speedboats swarmed a replica of a US aircraft carrier. State TV showed footage of missiles fired from the coast and fast boats striking the mock US aircraft carrier. The late February drill also included shooting down a drone and planting undersea mines.

Afghanistan

Headline:   Today’s Afghanistan News April 5, 2015 ***clicking on the underlined section will take you to each news story

There is considerable confusion about the current state of the Taliban and the prospects for peace talks. Yesterday, NBC reported that Mullah Omar is preparing to enter peace talks, with an implication that Pakistan is sincere in saying that it will no longer harbor the Afghan Taliban and that this may have driven him to negotiations.

Today, however, Khaama reports that he may be dead,  or in any event has delegated authority to Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor; and that the Taliban may have split into three factions, perhaps because of his death. Another possibility is that Pakistan, which has obviously been harboring him, now has him in custody and has incapacitated him.

It is unclear whether all this bodes well or ill for the prospects for peace. Certainly the emergence of factions which no longer answer to Omar or his successors means that a comprehensive peace is not possible. Leaders who have adopted the Islamic State brand are apparently responsible for the kidnapping of 31 Hazaras in February. Meanwhile, a high level of violence continues.

Libya

Headline: Islamic State Claims Responsibility for Deadly Suicide Bombing in Libya

The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing Sunday that killed at least six people — including several women and children — at a security checkpoint near the Libyan city of Misrata. At least 21 people were injured in the attack, according to LANA News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Libyan government in Tripoli. According to AFP, the Islamic State’s Al-Bayan radio identified the bomber as a Sudanese man named Abu Dujana. Misrata, the site of the bombing Sunday, is located about 150 miles northwest of Sirte, a coastal city that has seen numerous skirmishes between Islamic State affiliates and Dawn of Libya forces. At least 11 oil fields in the area have been shut down due to Islamic State attacks. Groups pledging allegiance to Islamic State also took credit for a suicide bombing last month at a Tripoli police station, as well as a series of suicide bombings in Benghazi. Dawn of Libya’s Misrata-based 166 brigade is currently working to oust the Islamic State from positions in and around Sirte. Brigade commander Mohammed Hassan told VICE News his forces launched an attack Saturday night that killed a number of Islamic State fighters, including foreigners from Tunisia and Mauritania. The 166 brigade has imposed a curfew on the city and asked residents to stay away from areas where clashes have been taking place, Hassan added. On Sunday, the internationally recognized government launched airstrikes against Dawn of Libya sites near Tripoli, an air force defense official told Reuters, but no deaths or injuries were reported.

Luke 21:9 and Matthew 24:7 speak of nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom in the end times. Revelation 6:3-4 speaks of the fiery red horse given power to make men slay one another and Revelation 6:8 speaks again of this red horse in conjunction with the pale horse of Death and Hades, as the one that has the power to kill by sword.  Luke 21:9: wars & commotions; the Greek word here is Akatastasia, meaning instability, a state of disorder, disturbance, confusion (revolutions)   Matthew 24:7: the Greek word for nation is Ethnos & refers to various ethnic groups fighting among themselves, where the next sentence in the verse refers to kingdoms (basileiva) fighting one another (not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or authority to rule over a kingdom)

Headline: Kenya bombs Somalia al-Shabab bases after Garissa attack

Kenyan fighter jets have bombed positions of militant Islamist group al-Shabab in neighbouring Somalia, a military spokesman has told the BBC. The warplanes had targeted two camps in the Gedo region, used by al-Shabab to cross into Kenya, the spokesman added. This is Kenya’s first response to the al-Shabab assault which left 148 people dead at Garissa University last week. President Uhuru Kenyatta had vowed to respond to the attack “in the severest way possible”. Kenyan army spokesman David Obonyo told the BBC that the military had responded to “threats” by launching the air strikes on Sunday night in the remote region. Two camps had been destroyed, he said, adding: “The bombings are part of the continued process and engagement against al-Shabab, which will go on.”

Headline: Boko Haram militants kill 7 civilians in Chadian village

At least seven civilians have been killed when members of the Nigeria-based Boko Haram militant group launched an attack against a village in neighboring Chad. Dimouya Souapebe, the deputy prefect of Baga Solan region, said Boko Haram extremists on Friday ambushed people on their way to a market in Tchoukou Telia near Lake Chad, which borders Chad, Nigeria, Niger and Cameroon. He said some of the victims had their throats slit, while others had succumbed to fatal gunshot wounds. Improvised explosive devices were later discovered along the road between Tchoukou Telia and Ngouboua, which lies close to the border with Nigeria and has come under Boko Haram attacks in recent weeks. The report comes as the leaders of Central and West African countries plan to hold a summit in an effort to come up with a common strategy to counter the threat posed by Boko Haram.

Headline: Drug-resistant strain of infectious illness hits U.S.

A drug-resistant strain of the food-borne bacteria Shigella has made its way to the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reportreleased Friday. The bacteria causes Shigellosis, a diarrhea-inducing intestinal infection that can vary in severity and infects approximately 500,000 people in the U.S. every year. The disease comes with a host of unpleasant symptoms, including acute muscle cramping, nausea and vomiting. Typically, the disease resolves itself within a week for those in otherwise good health, and the antimicrobial drug ciprofloxacin is recommended to alleviate the symptoms and shorten the duration of illness. The multi-drug resistant bacteria has shown itself to be immune to ciprofloxacin, and has infected at least 243 people in the U.S. throughout the past year. Just over 20% of patients had to be hospitalized.

Headline: Fleas test positive for plague near Flagstaff

Coconino County officials are taking precautions after finding fleas collected in Picture Canyon northeast of Flagstaff have tested positive for plague. The Arizona Daily Sun reported Friday that the County Public Health Services District is conducting additional tests and disinfecting prairie dog burrows. Public health officials collected the fleas around trails in the popular hiking area after noticing some prairie dogs dying off. The positive test is the first sign of plague activity in the county since last September in Doney Park. Officials are advising residents to take precautions such as using insect repellent and to avoid handling sick or dead animals. Symptoms of plague appear within two to six days after initial exposure. They can include fever, chills, swollen lymph glands and muscle pain.

Since we are going to see another blood moon which does not take place that often on April 4, only 3 days away, I wanted to recap some information for all  of you who may have missed this information.  Concerning Iran’s threat to wipe out Israel, they have just moved close to the Israeli border and, the Middle East peace talks have come to a halt only the Lord knows if something major is going to happen around these next blood moons?  In any case we should always be on guard just in case.

Headline:   THE TEMPLE INSTITUTE CONDUCTS UNPRECEDENTED PASSOVER OFFERING PRACTICE DRILL

In preparation for the upcoming festival of Passover, this past Wednesday (5 Nisan – 25 March) the ‘Priestly Training Academy’ established by the Temple Institute held a Passover offering practice drill that was documented by professional photographers. This was the most accurate and authentic reenactment of this service to have taken place in nearly 2,000 years. The Temple Institute is currently producing an educational documentary film which will depict the various stages of the Passover offering. A DVD is also in the works for the benefit of yeshivot, seminaries and schools, and all who wish to study the details of this important subject. The Kohanim who participated in this drill, all true descendants of Aaron, all wore authentic Priestly garments and recited the appropriate ‘blessings’ ( in practice mode) which applied to each stage of the commandment’s fulfillment. The event was accompanied by blasts from silver trumpets, and the song of the Levitical choir. Other stages of the drill included: examination of the lamb for blemishes, the priests bringing the animal to the Temple courtyard, the shechita and receiving the blood which is brought to the corner of the altar, skinning and separation of the inner parts, and the roasting of the whole lamb as required by the Divine command, in a special Passover oven designed and built for this purpose.

Headline:   Palestinians join ICC with Israelis in sights

The Palestinians formally gain membership of the International Criminal Court on Wednesday with the aim of pursuing Israelis for war crimes, despite uncertainty over the move’s wider ramifications. The accession is another step in the Palestinian diplomatic and legal international campaign, which gained steam in 2014. It has uncertain consequences, not only because it is highly unlikely Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israelis will find themselves being tried at the ICC, but also because it constitutes a new deterioration in the strained relationship. But the Palestinians are beyond caring. Exasperated after decades of failed negotiations with Israel, with no perspective for the state they have been yearning, they have decided to take their case to the international arena. On January 2, the Palestinians moved to join The Hague-based court in a process that will be finalised on April 1, setting the scene for potential legal action against Israeli officials for alleged war crimes. “Palestine has and will continue to use all legitimate tools within its means in order to defend itself against Israeli colonisation and other violations of international law,” said senior Palestinian official Saeb Erakat.

Headline:   New Gaza-bound ‘Freedom Flotilla’ expected to sail this summer

A new “Freedom Flotilla” is scheduled to embark for Gaza in two months’ time, organisers said on Tuesday. The voyage is scheduled to begin in the first half of the year, which means the flotilla could set sail within weeks, Mazen Kahel, an organiser with the European Campaign to end the Siege on Gaza, told MEE. Like its 2010 predecessor, this year’s flotilla aims to challenge Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip which has been in place since 2007. Former Tunisian president Moncef Marzouki has given his “full support” to the mission. He is expected to take part and will be on one of the boats, several organisers have confirmed. “Marzouki has always been engaged with the cause and has openly supported the Palestinians in his time of power,” Kahel told MEE. Negotiations are currently underway with other political, religious and business figures, but their names have yet to be confirmed and will be announced at a later date, Kahel added. Activists from across Europe, the US and the Middle East will participate in the flotilla, organised by a string of civil society groups and NGOs working under the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. Three to four boats are currently undergoing preparation for the voyage, but several more could yet join. The boats are expected to depart from several European ports, including one in Greece and possibly Turkey, although no specific information is being released as yet.

Headline:  Yemeni rebels shell Aden as Saudi coalition launches more airstrikes

Yemen’s Shiite rebels and security forces loyal to the former president launched a fresh offensive Monday against the southern city of Aden, shelling it and battling local militias, but were pushed back by at least two airstrikes on the fifth day of a Saudi-led air campaign, security officials said. The rebels, known as Houthis, meanwhile accused the Saudi-led coalition of bombing a displaced persons camp in the northern rebel stronghold of Saada, killing 40 people, including women and children. The report was carried on the rebels’ TV network. However, witnesses told The Associated Press that the camp — used to house displaced people from an earlier conflict that ended five years ago — is now occupied by Houthi forces and that most of those killed were fighters. It was not immediately possible to resolve the conflicting accounts. Yemeni security officials say the combined force of Houthis and Saleh loyalists is positioned about 19 miles east of Aden, near the southern city of Zinjibar. The rebels have used artillery to target pro-Hadi militias known as the Popular Committees. Battles are also underway near the airport. At least two airstrikes targeted the rebels, forcing them to retreat, the officials said. There was no immediate word on casualties. The account of the fighting was confirmed by four military and security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters. Emboldened by the airstrikes, the Popular Committees have largely held their ground in Aden province and still control most of the city. The death toll since the airstrikes began Thursday has reached 86, with some 600 people wounded, according to Abdel-Nasser al-Wali, head of a local medical center in Aden. Meanwhile in Sanaa, a series of airstrikes shook the city overnight and early Monday morning. The strikes have targeted militants, jets, air defense systems and Scud missile launch pads that could threaten Saudi Arabia. Later in the day, the officials said aircraft struck areas near the presidential palace in Sanaa.

Yassin added that the war that has plagued Yemen is the doing of the Houthi rebels. For six days, a Saudi-led coalition of ten regional countries has bombed Iran-allied Houthi fighters and army units linked to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Supporters of ISIS have condemned the Saudi-led airstrikes on rebel Houthi fighters in Yemen, claiming in online forums and Twitter that the actions were a veiled attempt by the United States to interfere in the Middle East and propagate an American agenda. “We will not allow America to interfere in the Arab world by using an Arab proxy. Arabs will only succeed when they leave the control of the Americans and move outside their circle of influence and control,” a well known radical user, whose pen name is translated as “What hour?” wrote. The same user continued, arguing that the U.S. shouldn’t be involved in Middle Eastern affairs at all, that the ancient schism between Sunnis and Shiites was a conflict that ought to be fought without western influence. “The ongoing war in the area is mostly an internal one, one that is fought between people who follow the rules and justice of Allah in its most basic form, and between the traitorous and corrupted ruler,” the user wrote. “The revenge is not only against the evil Shiites, and not only against the tyrants, but against those who provide them with the weapons and the missiles they use to draw out blood.”

Headline:  Khamenei sends Iranian navy to Bab el-Mandeb Straits

Control of the Red Sea Bab el-Mandeb Straits passed Tuesday, March 31 to pro-Iranian Yemeni forces when the Yemeni Army’s 117th Brigade loyal to the former Yemeni President Ali Saleh handed positions guarding the waterway to two Houthi commando battalions trained by Iranian Revolutionary Guards. This is revealed by debkafile’s military and intelligence sources. In another development Tuesday involving Iran’s spreading tentacles, debkafile’s military sources reveal that unidentified aircraft bombed Burak, a small military base in the Fezzan province of southwestern Libya, which serves Iran as a transit store for arms purchased in Sudan for the Palestinian Hamas. The weapons, which recently reached the Libyan base through Chad, were destroyed. They were scheduled to be smuggled through Egypt and Sinai and onto Gaza. Western military sources attributed responsibility for the bombardment to the Egyptian or Israeli air forces. Both Israel and Egypt have declined to comment on the report. To strengthen Iran’s grip on the key Red Sea gateway, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered two naval task forces to sail to the Red Sea. They are to fend off a Saudi-Egyptian offensive to dislodge the Houthi battalions now holding a point linking the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf. The naval task forces are being sent to draw a sea shield around the Houthi forces to defend them against Saudi-Egyptian assaults. This maneuver was orchestrated by the Al Qods Brigades chief Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Our sources report that the 33rd task force set out on its mission Tuesday night from the Gulf port of Bandar Abbas.

Syria Headline:     Assad Regime Loses Idlib to Jabhat al-Nusra and Rebel Offensive

Rebel forces led by al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) wrested control of Idlib City from the Assad regime on March 28, 2015. Removing the regime from a second provincial capital is arguably the biggest rebel victory since the fall of al-Raqqa to JN and rebel forces in March 2013. It represents a turning point in the Syrian civil war that is likely to alter the trajectory of the conflict in coming months, with implications for how rebels wage war in 2015. JN and Islamist rebel forces have achieved shocking success in reinvigorating the rebel campaign with the seizure of Idlib City. This is likely to provide momentum to the JN-Islamist axis in Syria at the expense of moderate rebel forces, and hinder efforts to foster a political solution to the conflict.  JN and rebel forces seized the northern provincial capital during a swift four-day assault, preceded by days of indirect fire bombardment. The assault exhibited highly effective command and control, which was made possible by a newly formed “operations room” named Jaysh al-Fatah. The operations room had participation from JN; Islamist groups Jund al-Aqsa, Harakat Ahrar al-Sham al-Islamiya (HASI), Faylaq al-Sham, and Ajnad al-Sham; and a few other local groups. By evening on March 27, JN claimed the fall of half of the city and shortly after noon the following day, the Jaysh al-Fatah operations room declared the complete “liberation” of the city. JN immediately raised a JN flag above the governorate building, and tweeted videos purporting to show Idlib civilians celebrating the capture of the city by JN and rebel forces.

Iraqi forces battled Islamic State militants holed up in downtown Tikrit, going house to house Tuesday in search of snipers and booby traps, and the prime minister said security forces had reached the heart of the city. In a statement on Twitter, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the “liberation of Tikrit” and congratulated Iraqi security forces on their “historic milestone.” But an official statement from his office said the troops “hoisted the Iraqi flag” over the Salahuddin provincial headquarters in Tikrit and are moving to control the entire city. Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi, the commander of the Salahuddin operation, said his forces fighting from the west were still 300 meters (325 yards) from the center of Tikrit.

Iraq Headline: Bomb attack kills 6 people north of Iraq capital

At least six people, including four Iranians, have reportedly been killed after a bomber targeted a bus carrying Shia pilgrims north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. Police on Tuesday confirmed six people were among the dead in a terrorist attack that took place in the Iraqi town of Taji, located 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Baghdad. The bus of Shia pilgrims was returning from the holy city of Samarra when it came under attack by a bomber, who detonated his explosives as the pilgrims were getting off the vehicle at a gas station. Samarra lies 110 kilometers north of Baghdad and is home to the shrines of the tenth and eleventh Shia Imams, Ali al-Hadi and Hassan al-Askari.

Headline:  Putin says Russia will fight for the right of Palestinians to their own state

Vladimir Putin has said Russia will fight for an independent Palestinian state, and called for the issues of the Middle East to be resolved through peaceful means. Despite international criticism over Russia’s own role in the Ukrainian crisis, Mr Putin was hailed last week by a St Petersburg Cossack group for his ability to “bring order and stop wars”. In an address to the Arab League summit in Egypt on Saturday, Mr Putin spoke against foreign intervention in countries’ internal disputes and spoke of the role Russia can play in diplomatic channels. While Russia openly opposes the stance of US-backed Israel on the Gaza crisis, its position in the Middle East is complicated. Mr Putin is one of Iran’s key allies, but as he spoke on Saturday the core nations of the Arab League engaged in air strikes on the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. He told the summit this weekend: “Palestinians have the right to establish an independent and habitable state with a capital in East Jerusalem. “Russia will continue to contribute to achieving this goal through bilateral and multilateral channels,” he said.

Headline:   Russian analyst urges nuclear attack on Yellowstone National Park and San Andreas fault line

A Russian geopolitical analyst says the best way to attack the United States is to detonate nuclear weapons to trigger a supervolcano at Yellowstone National Park or along the San Andreas fault line on California’s coast. The president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems based in Moscow, Konstantin Sivkov said in an article for a Russian trade newspaper on Wednesday, VPK News, that Russia needed to increase its military weapons and strategies against the “West” which was “moving to the borders or Russia”. He has a conspiracy theory that NATO – a political and military alliance which counts the US, UK, Canada and many countries in western Europe as members – was amassing strength against Russia and the only way to combat that problem was to attack America’s vulnerabilities to ensure a “complete destruction of the enemy”.

Iran

Headline: Iran levels drone strike charge as nuke deal deadline looms, US denies claim

Headline:   US says enough progress made in Iran nuclear talks to extend talks to Wednesday

Headline:   Iranian aircraft buzzes Navy helicopter in Persian Gulf

In a curiously timed allegation coming on the eve of a key deadline for nuclear talks, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard on Monday claimed a U.S. drone strike killed two of its advisers in Iraq — an allegation the U.S. disputed. “We are looking into this, like we do all claims, but we don’t think we did it,” a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition based in Kuwait told Fox News, as Pentagon officials pushed back on Iran’s claims. The Guard said on its sepahnews.ir website the strike happened March 23. This would appear to be after the U.S.-led coalition began providing intelligence and surveillance assistance for the Iraqis in their campaign to retake the Islamic State-held city of Tikrit — but before the U.S., on March 25, began launching airstrikes at the Iraqi government’s request. The Guard identified the dead as Ali Yazdani and Hadi Jafari, saying they were buried Sunday. It called them advisers, without elaborating on whether Iran contacted Iraqi or U.S. forces after the strike. Officials in the Pentagon would not speculate if the claims made by Iran are linked to the Tuesday deadline over nuclear negotiations in Switzerland between Iran and six other nations including the U.S. Iran reportedly has been making new demands for concessions in the run-up to that deadline.

Headline:     Jund al-Khilafah in Tunisia” Declares Itself Part of IS, Claims Bardo Attack and Threatens More

Tunisian security forces decimated the leadership of a Tunisian jihadi group linked to al-Qaida’s North African branch, including the man identified as the “operational chief” of the attack this month on the National Bardo Museum that killed 22 people, mostly foreign tourists, the interior minister said Sunday. Najem Gharsalli said Khaled Ben Hamadi Chaieb, also known as Lokman Abou Sakhr, an Algerian, handled the operational end of the March 18 attack. Two gunmen were killed in the attack. Dozens of arrests have been made, five security officials fired and an officer charged with surveying the museum jailed. Gharsalli proclaimed the “beginning of the war against terrorism,” and revealed that Tunisia has acquired new equipment, “including drones.” The announcement came as tens of thousands of Tunisians marched, joined by a handful of foreign leaders for a ceremony after the march to the National Bardo Museum. Among those present were French President Francois Hollande and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

Headline:  Turkey helped Islamists take over Idlib, Syrian military source accuses

A Syrian military source accused Turkey on Monday of helping Islamist rebels to stage an assault on Idlib, a provincial capital which fighters seized at the weekend. The source declined to comment on the situation in Idlib, citing security considerations, but a monitoring group has confirmed the Al-Qaida linked Nusra Front and allies now control Idlib and said the Syrian air force bombed the city on Monday. The fall of Idlib, 30 km (20 miles) from the Turkish border, marks only the second time in the Syrian civil war that Damascus has lost control of a provincial capital. The first was Raqqa, which the ultra-radical Islamic State group has turned into the de facto capital of its self-declared caliphate. Echoing more general comments by President Bashar al-Assad, the military source accused both Turkey and Jordan of supporting the insurgents in their Idlib offensive, saying they were “leading operations and planning them”. The insurgents were using advanced communication apparatus that had been supplied to them via Turkey, the source added. The Turkish foreign ministry declined to comment.

Headline: Boko Haram kills 41, prevents hundreds voting in Nigeria

Boko Haram extremists killed 41 people, including a legislator, and scared hundreds of people from polling stations in the northeast, but millions voted across Nigeria Saturday in the most closely contested presidential race in the nation’s history. In electoral violence elsewhere, three people including a soldier were shot and killed in political thuggery in southern Rivers state, and two car bombs exploded at polling stations in the southeast but no one was injured, according to police. All the Boko Haram attacks took place in northeastern Nigeria, where the military Friday announced it had cleared the Islamic extremists from all major centers, including the headquarters of their so-called Islamic caliphate. Earlier, before dawn, Boko Haram extremists invaded the town of Miringa in Borno state, torching people’s homes and then shooting them as they tried to escape the smoke. Twenty-five people died in the attack, Borno state Gov. Kashim Shettima told a news conference in the city of Maiduguri. “They had sent messages earlier warning us not to encourage democracy by participating in today’s election,” said Mallam Garba Buratai, a Miringa resident who witnessed the attack. Another 14 people were killed in extremist attacks on the town of Biri and Dukku, in Gombe state, according to police and local chief Garkuwan Dukku.

Headline:   Guinea declares Ebola ‘health emergency’ in five regions

Guinean President Alpha Conde has declared a 45-day “health emergency” in five regions in the west and south-west of the country over Ebola. The restrictions include the quarantining of hospitals and clinics where new cases are detected, new rules on burials and possible lockdowns. The Ebola outbreak began in Guinea in December 2013. In January, the World Health Organization reported a steady drop in cases in the three epicentre countries. But renewed concern has been triggered by fresh setbacks in these countries – Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Mr Conde said he was declaring “a reinforced health emergency for a period of 45 days in the prefectures of Forecariah, Coyah, Dubreka, Boffa and Kindia” in a statement published in national media. The focus of the virus “has shifted to our country’s coastal areas,” he said. He added: “Wherever the need may be, throughout this period, measures of restriction and confinement will be taken.” It is a first for the country since the outbreak began, Reuters reported. On Friday, Sierra Leone began a three-day nationwide lockdown sparked by fears the virus was making a comeback in some parts of the country.

Headline:    Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria From American Cattle Become Airborne, But Is It Life-Threatening?

Airborne particulate matter wafting off American cattle yards contains antibiotics, bacteria, and antibiotic-resistant DNA, a new study finds. Environmental tests on the spread of antibiotics have been performed in the past, but this is the first time researchers have examined aerial dispersion. The work suggests airborne transmission may be contributing to an emerging global health problem, where doctors find it increasingly difficult to treat life-threatening infections. For some time now, scientists have worried that we may be entering a “post-antibiotic era,” when the drugs that once defeated potentially fatal infections are no longer effective. Simply put, the bacteria causing infections in many cases are now immune to (or “resisting”) the drugs. Since antibiotic-resistant bacterial DNA, if imbibed in water or consumed in meat, can be transferred to humans, many researchers say misuse and overuse of veterinary pharmaceuticals may be responsible, in part, for this global health threat. Large, commercial food operations rely on veterinary drugs, including antibiotics, to promote bigger growth of the animals. However, after the animals excrete the drugs, these antibiotics enter the environment via runoff, leaching, and the spread of manure.

Headline:     Muslim groups attack Egyptian Copts over church honoring Christians killed by ISIS

Relatives of the Coptic Christians beheaded last month by jihadists in Libya – their deaths immortalized in a gory video set against the backdrop of a Mediterranean beach – are facing new extremist-Muslim violence as they seek to build a church to honor their murdered loved ones. An angry mob in the Upper Egyptian village of Al Our – the proposed site of the church because it was home to 13 of the 21 Christians murdered in the mass “beachfront” decapitation – descended on the community’s current church after the midday Islamic prayer Friday and chanted that they’d never allow construction of the new place of worship to begin, witnesses told Egyptian activists in the U.S. Things turned far uglier after nightfall, the witnesses said, as a smaller number of individuals threw Molotov cocktails and stones at the church, injuring several people, and setting cars ablaze, including one that belonged to a relative of one of the victims of the Libyan massacre. “The police came, but after the attack,” said Mina Abdelmalak, a Coptic Christian living in Washington who is in close contact with the witnesses to the events in Al Our. “There were already cars on fire. People had been bloodied. Stones and bricks had been thrown.” Some protesters also appeared at the family home of massacre victim Samuel Alham Wilson, but, in a gesture that provided some hope, were chased off by Muslim neighbors when the protesters started throwing stones.

Widespread damage, including roofs torn from homes and the destruction of houses made of tin, was also reported. The Yap Islands, with a population of 12,000, were expected to receive sustained winds of 119 mph, the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane, late Tuesday and early Wednesday, the U.S. National Weather Service in Guam said.

Amnesty International said Thursday Palestinian rocket fire during the 2014 summer war in Gaza had killed more civilians in the Gaza Strip than in Israel. Such deadly attacks on civilians on both sides constituted “a war crime,” it said. The damning report urged armed Palestinian groups to end attacks on civilians in Israel and to protect those in the Gaza Strip from the effects of such attacks. Amnesty said rocket attacks had killed six civilians in Israel, including a child, but that other rockets aimed at the Jewish state had fallen short and killed at least 13 civilians, 11 of them children, in Gaza.

Headline:  Israel to stop withholding Palestinian tax revenues

Headline:  Washington welcomes Israeli release of PA tax revenue

In a conciliatory move towards warming relations with Palestinians and the U.S., Israel announced Friday it will resume transferring millions of dollars in tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority. Three months ago, Israel suspended the payments after the Palestinians referred Israel to the International Criminal Court in The Hague for possible war crimes. But newly re-elected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the transfer of withheld funds Friday based on “humanitarian concerns and in overall consideration of Israel’s interests at this time,” a statement from Netanyahu’s office said, the New York Times reported. Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, the Israeli military, and Shin Bet—Israel’s internal security agency—made the recommendation to Netanyahu to continue transferring tax money to the Palestinian Authority—which adds up to more than $100 million per month. The Jewish state will release to the interim government in Ramallah the frozen funds that have accumulated since February, less payments for services provided by Israeli entities, including the Israel Electricity Corporation, the water authority and hospitals, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.

Headline:  France to Push for New UN Resolution on Israel-PA Peace

France plans to begin talks at the United Nations on a new Security Council resolution to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace prospects, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Friday, according to the AFP news agency. Fabius told reporters at UN headquarters in New York that discussions on a text would start “in the coming days.” The Security Council in December rejected a resolution that would have set a deadline for reaching a final peace deal and pave the way to the creation of a Palestinian state. The United States had voted against the measure but was spared from resorting to its veto after eight council members including France voted yes, one vote short of the nine needed for adoption. “I hope the partners that were reluctant will be less reluctant,” Fabius said Friday, according to AFP. “It is necessary to move forward to have a solution to this problem,” he added.

The Syrian military, backed by fighters from Hezbollah, used heavy artillery to close in on the city of Zabadani near the border with Lebanon on Friday, Lebanese Hezbollah-run al-Manar television reported. It showed footage of fighters in a mountainous area using heavy weapons around the city and showed the body of at least one enemy combatant. The channel said the operation, which was coordinated with Syrian air force bombardments, was aimed at recapturing the whole area. Syrian forces backed by pro-government fighters have regularly clashed with insurgents in the mountainous area north of the capital Damascus. Armed groups in the area include al Qaeda’s Syria wing Nusra Front as well as insurgent brigades.

Headline: Hezbollah leader slams Saudi intervention in Yemen

The leader of Lebanon’s Shiite Hezbollah group has slammed Saudi Arabia’s intervention in Yemen, calling it “surprising and painful.” Hassan Nasrallah rejected Riyadh’s claim that it had assembled a coalition to conduct airstrikes against Shiite rebels in order to save Yemen, and accused it of ignoring the Palestinians in their decades-long struggle with Israel. Hezbollah, like Yemen’s Houthi rebels, is supported by Iran, which Saudi Arabia views as its main regional rival. In some of his harshest comments to date, Nasrallah accused Saudi Arabia of sending suicide attackers to Iraq and of creating the Islamic State group. Addressing Saudi Arabia, he said Iran had expanded its influence in the region because “you are lazy, losers, and you don’t take responsibility.”

Headline: Hezbollah would join Saudi coalition if it fought Israel: Nasrallah

If the Saudi-led coalition bombing Yemen directed its warplanes towards Israel, Hezbollah would join it, party chief Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah declared Friday night, accusing Riyadh of seeking to “regain control” of Yemen. Nasrallah, speaking a day after Saudi Arabia launched a surprise military operation against rebel Houthis in Yemen, also rejected claims that Iran posed a threat to the Gulf. “The real reason the Saudi-led coalition is [attacking Yemen] is that Saudi Arabia has failed. It has lost control over Yemen… and fears that Yemen now belongs to the people.” “If the war was against Israel, we would have been partners in the war, but not if it’s against an Arab peoples,” Nasrallah said. “The Palestinian people are still calling on you,” he said, noting that a large portion of the population are Sunnis and yet their calls for assistance were not met by unified force like the one organized against the Houthis.

Egypt

Headline:  Egypt’s ruling of Hamas as terror group possibly annulled

A lawyer who successfully petitioned an Egyptian court to brand Hamas a terror organization has withdrawn the claim, leading to some reports in Arab media Friday that the move annulled the ruling. But others claimed it still stood, at least for now. According to various Arab media reports, attorney Samir Sabry, who had originally argued that Hamas was involved in attacks against Egyptians and should thus be dubbed a terror group, pulled the motion after the state appealed the court’s decision Sabry explained that he didn’t want the court ruling to interfere with Cairo’s role as a mediator between Hamas and Fatah in Palestinian reconciliation efforts, according to the Cairo Post. While the Cairo Post said Sabry’s withdrawal effectively annulled the court’s ruling, it’s status remained unclear on Friday. Jordan-based Al Bawaba News stated that the move did not automatically invalidate the decision, and that the court would need to decide on its fate. Further court deliberations would reportedly be held on Saturday.

Headline:  Jordan defends participation in Yemen operation as legitimate

Saudi jets pounded neighboring Yemen on Thursday and Egyptian warships steamed toward its coast in the start of an Arab-led offensive against Shiite rebels that has become a showdown between the major powers in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies plunged into the Yemen crisis after Shiite insurgents, known as Houthis, pushed from their power base in the north into the south, forcing the country’s pro-Saudi, Western-backed president to flee. The move inflamed the already tense relationship between Shiite power Iran, which has increased its support for the Houthis as their rebellion has expanded, and Saudi Arabia and other Sunni-dominated nations. Some officials warned that the fight could escalate further. Saudi state TV said Thursday that a ground offensive was being studied but gave no further details. Egypt’s minister of foreign affairs, Sameh Shoukri, said in a speech to Arab foreign ministers that his country was willing “to send ground forces if necessary” to back the anti-Houthi fight.

Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies presented powerful members of the U.N. Security Council with suggested elements for a resolution that would impose an arms embargo on the Shiite rebels who have thrown Yemen into turmoil and caused its Western-backed president to flee. Diplomats said after a meeting Thursday evening with ambassadors from the United States, Britain and France that members of the Gulf Coordination Council want the resolution to be militarily enforceable under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter. The GCC members also presented the Security Council president with a letter explaining that their airstrikes targeting military installations held by the Houthi rebels are in response to President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi’s request this week for immediate aid as the rebels closed in. The current president of the Security Council, French Ambassador Francois Delattre, did not comment on his way out of the meeting. Another permanent council member, Russia, met with the Gulf members earlier Thursday.

Headline:  Iranian press warns of Yemen escalation

Headline:  Iraqi Government Against Saudi-led Yemen Operation

As the Saudi-led coalition presses its military campaign against the Tehran-backed Houthis in Yemen, Iranian press outlets have published reports on the Houthis’ purported ability to dramatically escalate the conflict. Fars News Agency reported Friday that the Houthis were preparing to shut the key Bab al-Mandeb strait linking the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea. “There are confirmed reports showing that preparations [by Houthi forces] are underway to close Bab al-Mandeb Strait by using ground-to-sea missiles,” the Iranian news agency cited informed sources as saying. “This defensive scenario has been under study for several months now.” Fars added that the “takeover of [Mokha] port facilitated [Houthis’] access to Bab al-Mandeb,” in reference to reports earlier in the week that the Iranian-backed fighters had entered the western port town, which is located approximately 70 kilometers north of the strait. A top US military official stressed Thursday after Saudi Arabia launched its air strikes on Houthi military positions in Yemen that Washington would work to ensure the security of the Bab al-Mandeb strait. “We would work in conjunction with our GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) partners to ensure that those straits remain open,” US Central Command chief General Lloyd Austin told a US Senate hearing. “It is one of our core interests to ensure that we have free flow of commerce through [Bab al-Mandeb and Hormuz].” As part of the Saudi-led “Operation Decisive Storm,” Egypt has dispatched warships southward to Bab al-Mandeb while two US destroyers have reportedly deployed to the area.

Headline:  Egyptian, Saudi Vessels Approach Yemen Coast

Warplanes struck near the presidential compound in the Houthi-controlled Yemeni capital of Sanaa around dawn on Friday, residents reported. Earlier air strikes south of Sanaa in the early hours of Friday appeared to target military installations affiliated with former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, a powerful Houthi ally. Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi rebels made broad gains in the country’s south and east on Friday despite a second day of Saudi-led air strikes meant to check the Iranian-backed militia’s efforts to overthrow President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. Shi’ite Muslim Houthi fighters and allied army units gained their first foothold on Yemen’s Arabian Sea coast by seizing the port of Shaqra 100km (60 miles) east of Aden, residents told Reuters. The advances threaten Hadi’s last refuge in Yemen and potentially undermine the air campaign to support him. The losses came as the spokesman for the Saudi-led operation, Brigadier General Ahmed Asseri, told a press conference in Riyadh that defending the Aden government was the campaign’s “main objective.” “I want to confirm that the operation itself has as its main objective to protect the government in Aden,” Asseri said. “The operation will continue as long as there is a need for it to continue,” he said.

Syrian government airstrikes and shelling in the country’s south killed at least 18 people on Thursday, including three children, opposition activists said. The attacks come amid heightened clashes in southern Syria between government forces and rebels who seized the nearby ancient town of Busra Sham the previous day. Thursday’s shelling struck an area known as Daraa al-Balad in the city of Daraa. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 18 people were killed while an activist in Daraa province, Ahmad Masalma, put the number at 21. The activists said the death toll is likely to rise because many of the wounded were in critical condition.

Islamist rebels made fresh advances Friday on the edges of Idlib city in northwest Syria, after fierce clashes that have left dozens of dead, a monitoring group said. “The fighters have advanced on the northwestern and southeastern sides of the city,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. “There are very violent clashes, and last night 26 militants and four regime soldiers were killed,” he told AFP. An activist from the area said civilians were trapped in their homes. “The humanitarian situation is very difficult. There are refugees from other parts of the country who are in Idlib,” said Ibrahim al-Idlibi. On Tuesday, a new coalition of Islamist rebels launched a coordinated attack against Idlib city, which is held by Assad regime forces. Calling itself “The Army of Conquest,” the coalition is led by Al Qaeda affiliate the Al-Nusra Front and includes several other Islamist groups.

Iraq Headline:  Intel official: Iran ‘pissed’ at Iraq for joining with US in Tikrit fight

By Day 2 of the American airstrike campaign against militants holed up in Tikrit, the mission appeared beleaguered on several fronts on Thursday: Thousands of Shiite militiamen boycotted the fight, others threatened to attack any Americans they found, and Iraqi officials said nine of their fighters had been accidentally killed in an airstrike. In Washington, American military leaders insisted that things were going according to plan. They said that they were stepping into the Tikrit fight only after the Iranian- and militia-led advance on the city had stalled after three weeks, and that they welcomed working solely with Iraqi government forces. Gen. Lloyd Austin, the head of the United States Central Command, told a Senate hearing on Thursday that no Shiite militias remained in Tikrit. While the withdrawal of Iranian-led Shiite militias was one of the preconditions for the Americans to join the fight against the Islamic State in Tikrit, the sudden departure of three of the major groups risked leaving the Iraqi ground forces short-handed, especially if other Shiite militiamen also abandoned the fight.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin has said “the West” is encroaching on Russia and fomenting internal unrest, in his first foreign policy speech in a month. He told a meeting of his internal intelligence service, the FSB, on Thursday (26 March), that “they are using their entire arsenal of means for the so-called deterrence of Russia: from attempts at political isolation and economic pressure, to large-scale information war and special services operations”. He noted that Nato is “building up its infrastructure near our borders” and said the alliance’s creation of an anti-ballistic missile shield is designed “to violate the existing nuclear parity”. “The situation … will not change for the better if we succumb and yield at every step. It will only change for the better if we become stronger”, he added. He also said “Western special services continue their attempts at using public, non-governmental and politicised organisations to … discredit the authorities and destabilise the internal situation in Russia”. Meanwhile, The head of the legislature in Russia’s Chechnya region says that Russia will provide arms to Mexico if Washington supplies weapons to Ukraine. Chechen Parliament Speaker Dukvakha Abdurakhmanov said the arms would be aimed at reigniting U.S.-Mexican disputes over “territories annexed by the United States in the American states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and part of Wyoming.” “We will perceive arms shipments to Ukraine as a signal to respond in kind,” Abdurakhmanov said in a March 24 statement posted on the Chechen parliament’s website. Abdurakhmanov is a close associate of Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed strongman who rules Chechnya.

Headline: U.S. Caves to Key Iranian Demands as Nuke Deal Comes Together

The Obama administration is giving in to Iranian demands about the scope of its nuclear program as negotiators work to finalize a framework agreement in the coming days, according to sources familiar with the administration’s position in the negotiations. U.S. negotiators are said to have given up ground on demands that Iran be forced to disclose the full range of its nuclear activities at the outset of a nuclear deal, a concession experts say would gut the verification the Obama administration has vowed would stand as the crux of a deal with Iran. Until recently, the Obama administration had maintained that it would guarantee oversight on Tehran’s program well into the future, and that it would take the necessary steps to ensure that oversight would be effective. The issue has now emerged as a key sticking point in the talks. Concern from sources familiar with U.S. concessions in the talks comes amid reports that Iran could be permitted to continue running nuclear centrifuges at an underground site once suspected of housing illicit activities.

Somali special forces stormed a Mogadishu hotel where Muslim extremists from Al-Shabaab had mounted a deadly attack Friday, first exploding a car bomb at the gate and then mounting a siege of the compound frequented by government officials. The elite soldiers poured into the Maka-Mukarramah Hotel, where as many as four members of the terrorist group were holed up and several civilians were trapped after the attack that left at least nine people dead, local police said. Sporadic gunfire could be heard inside the compound, and police said terrorists were holding off police until the special forces went in. Al-Shabaab claimed credit for the attack, in which at least a dozen were injured and the death toll was expected to rise. An unknown number of people were trapped in the hotel, although authorities did not characterize them as hostages.
