IDF hits Houthi targets in Yemen after missile fired at central Israel

(Dec. 18, 2024 /from JNS Report)

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels have launched over 200 missiles and 170 drones at Israel in support of Hamas since the Gaza-based terrorist group’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in the northwestern Negev. The vast majority were intercepted outside of Israeli territory by Israel or the U.S.

The Israeli Air Force acted and struck Houthi targets in Yemen overnight Wednesday, after intercepting a missile over central Israel fired by the Iranian-backed terror group.

An elementary school in the Ramat Efal neighborhood of Ramat Gan, just east of Tel Aviv, suffered severe damage when shrapnel hit it following the interception. According to the city’s mayor, the impact caused a partial collapse of the school’s central building, prompting the cancellation of classes for the day. No injuries were reported.

According to the IDF, the IAF strikes were carried out in two waves by 14 fighter jets, refuelers, and spy planes.

The jets were already en route to Yemen when the Houthis launched the ballistic missile at around 2:35 a.m. The first wave of strikes occurred at 3:15 a.m., targeting the Ras Isa oil terminal on the Red Sea as well as the Hodeidah and Salif ports. Eight tugboats, used for guiding ships into the ports, were also destroyed.

At 4:30 a.m., the second wave targeted the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, hitting two power stations, the Haziz and D’Habban, according to reports in Yemen.

Houthi-affiliated media reported casualties.

“Over the past year, the Houthi terrorist regime has been operating with the direction and funding of Iran, and in cooperation with Iraqi militias, in order to attack the State of Israel and Israeli civilians,” the IDF stated following the strikes.

“The conducted strikes degrade the Houthi terrorist regime, preventing it from exploiting the targets for military and terrorist purposes, including the smuggling of Iranian weapons to the region,” the statement continued. “The IDF is determined to continue operating against all threats posed to the citizens of the State of Israel, wherever necessary.”

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Houthi leaders after the overnight operation that “the long arm of Israel will reach you. Whoever raises a hand [against us] will have it severed. Whoever harms [us], will be harmed many times over.”

International Court of Justice

 From Yoseph Haddad - The Hague Tribunal ran enough false campaigns and possesses enough distorted interests to issue arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister and Minister of Defense.

On the other hand, years of testimony about the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Assad regime and all the other evidence that’s come to light the past two weeks in Syria were apparently not enough for them to issue an arrest warrant for Assad.

If you look up the word "hypocrisy" in the dictionary, you‘ll find a large picture of the Hague Tribunal!

Wealth Galore but the General Population in Poverty

Former Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad may have lost his despot gig, but he has a very lavish "government pension" from years of treating the Syrian national treasury as his personal bank account.  That's why there is so much turmoil, factions fighting one another for control, not only in this region but all over Africa and Asia.  For a chance at the ultimate jackpot, the national treasury lavishly stuffed with foreign aid cash from international donors - in Syria's case, Russia and Iran, or oil and drug wealth. 

Ismail Haniyeh, former head thug of Hamas, was reported to have a net worth of $4 billion, the product of years of embezzling and extorting all that foreign aid from gullible international donors such as the US and the EU.  As well as  the 20% tax Hamas charged on all items entering through tunnels from Egypt to the Gaza Strip. Haniyeh's eldest son was arrested by Egyptian authorities at the Rafiah Border Crossing with several million dollars, which he intended to take into Gaza.  Yahye Sinwar, who replaced Haniiyeh as Hamas head thug, acquired his reported billion dollar wealth in a similar manner. While the rest of Gazans live on UN/UNRWA and NGO handouts.

Abu Mazen of the PA, King Abdullah of Jordan, the head thugs of Hezbullah in Lebanon, Sisi in Egypt all live lavish lifestyles thanks to their autocratic rule giving them sole access to the state treasury and donor billions. King Abdullah receives a yearly US aid stipend of $1.45 BILLION. While 25% of Jordanians live below the poverty line.  Whelp, his Majesty does need the money to keep his 7 palaces in tip-top condition, his wife Queen Rania in designer gear and to pay top dollar to keep his small army of Beduin fighters on side so that he doesn't end up like al-Assad. 

And Syria?  Different day, same despot.  The current winner in the power/control/wealth stakes will receive representatives of those countries looking to keep him on side, while he loots Syria's national treasury for what he can take.  Democracy? Freedom?  Unknown concepts used by despots to open international donor wallets a bit wider.   

Hezbullah continued firing missiles and mortars into northern Israel for 9 days after the "ceasefire" went into effect. Their bombardment of Israel's northern civilian population finally stopped 6 days ago.  But with no clear government directives/policies, Israel's displaced population are in no rush to return to what's left their homes in the north.  

IDF heroes continue to fall in Gaza, in Lebanon and the West Bank fighting to protect Am Yisrael in this 75th year of its War of Liberation. 

And 100 hostages are still scattered around Gaza (and beyond?), captives of various terror thugs using human lives as bargaining tools.  

When will the world start to recognise the emperor has no clothes?

Israel is communicating with rebels

From  World Israel News

An Israeli source says Israel is carrying out indirect talks with Syrian rebels, Israel National News reported.

The source said communication is occurring through the Druze community in Israel and Syria, the Kurdish population, intelligence organizations, and US officials.

“There is someone to speak to on the other side, and messages were passed,” the source said, indicating Israel will continue operations to eliminate weapons held by the Assad regime.

The source says the United States fully approves Israel’s indirect communication with Syrian rebels.

Defense Minister Israel Katz has encouraged the IDF to capture more areas in the buffer zone close to Syria’s border with Israel.

According to TPS, Israeli security officials are recruiting prominent Israeli Druze leaders to assist in fostering connections with Syrian Druze communities.

On Sunday, Maj.-Gen. Shlomi Bender, head of the Israeli army’s Intelligence Directorate, met with Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif, the spiritual leader of Israel’s Druze community, according to Lt.-Col. Avichay Adraee, spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces in Arabic.

“The head of the Intelligence Directorate and His Eminence Sheikh Tarif discussed recent developments in Syria and their impact on the Druze community,” Adraee tweeted.

The initiative follows instructions from Defense Minister Israel Katz, who directed the IDF on Sunday to establish contact with the Syrian Druze and other local communities.

There are an estimated 700,000 to 800,000 Druze in Syria, primarily in the southwestern regions near Israel and Jordan. They make up about four percent of Syria’s population.

Israel’s Druze community, numbering around 152,000, traces its ancestry to Jethro, the Biblical figure and father-in-law of Moses.

Israeli Druze hold prominent positions in both public and military life, and the deep bond between Jewish and Druze soldiers is often referred to as the “covenant of blood.”

During Israel’s War of Independence in 1948, the Druze living in the Galilee and Mount Carmel regions chose to align with the Jewish community. They decided to integrate into Israeli society and have since established themselves across all sectors of public life.

Not long ago, members of the UN General Assembly, 157 of them, voted again for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Arab conflict. The international anti-Semites are ‘uncomfortable’ with the existence of the Jewish state, and are determine to create another Islamic terrorist state on the Jewish land. 

- Occupation of the independent state of Tibet by China is long forgotten. 

- The question of independence of Kashmir does not exist anymore. 

- Nobody cares about the self-determination of Kurdish people, up to 45 million of them world-wide. 

The members of the 'Ugly Nazi' are only preoccupied with the independence of the fake people of the never existing country or kingdom on the Jewish land. There are 57 Muslim countries, including 22 Arab states. They could welcome and provide a secure prosperous future for their ‘Palestinian brothers and sisters’. Why don't they?

Europe Is Turning Into One Big No-Go Zone

Giulio Meotti November 22, 2024

Eight years ago Donald Trump scandalized the right-thinking people by stating that “no-go zones” were being created in Europe. No-go zones? It must have been another fake by Trump, it was said.

David Ignatius in the New York Times had used the expression, explaining that some areas of Paris had become “no-go zones at night”. Then Michael Nazir-Ali, bishop of Rochester, spoke of no-go zones in England.

Since then, it has become an open secret, and while even Angela Merkel has admitted the existence of these areas in Europe, the former French socialist president François Hollande said: “How can we avoid secession? Because that is what is happening: secession”.

Now, just over a week after the incredible events in Amsterdam (40 no-go areas have been mapped out in the Netherlands), Barbara Slowik, the head of the Berlin police, admits: “There are neighborhoods where the majority of the population is of Arab origin who also have sympathies for terrorist groups.” Slowik advised Jews and homosexuals to be careful in “certain areas” of the German capital in an interview with the Berliner Zeitung newspaper “There is open anti-Semitism against people of Jewish faith and origin”.

If I were the police chief of Berlin, I would have resigned a moment after admitting that the state had lost control of its territory. The Welt went to one of these neighborhoods of Berlin to get reactions on Slowik: “The population calls for the caliphate.” The incredible admission by Berlin’s police chief is just one piece of the puzzle. In Bonn, Potsdam, Bochum and elsewhere, Jews are hiding.

And London has also become a “no-go zone for Jews,” the government’s anti-extremism tsar, Robin Simcox, has just denounced. And it’s not just a problem for Jews and gays.

Berlin’s Greens want “women-only” train carriages. The request was made by Berlin Green Party MP Antje Kapek, who said that “terrible attacks on women” occur “even when there are large crowds.”

Even neighborhoods in Duisburg are “no-go zones,” according to a report leaked to the weekly Der Spiegel. The report speaks of “44 no-go zones” and warns that the government is losing control of entire neighborhoods and warns that the police “will no longer be able to guarantee public order in the long term.” Duisburg, which has a population of 500,000, is estimated to be home to 60,000 mostly Turkish Muslims, making it one of the most Islamized cities in Germany (Muslims have outnumbered Christians in Duisburg schools).

Police union chairman Rainer Wendt told Spiegel: “In the north of Duisburg, there are neighborhoods where colleagues can barely stop a car, they will be surrounded by 40 or 50 men.”

Wendt, president of Europe’s largest police union, also said: “We are facing a challenge that is unprecedented in post-war history.” The risk of collapse is “very real,” Wendt warned, and the police are losing control of the situation. “Radical Islamists are questioning the power on our streets. If no action is taken, Sharia law will prevail instead of the constitution. It is time to return to the fundamental values of our societies. Otherwise, the country will collapse and the law of the strongest will prevail.”

We have seen mass sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve and the mayor of Cologne, Henriette Reker, advise women to “keep foreigners at arm’s length.” Perhaps Jews and homosexuals should also keep them at arm’s length?

But it is not just about Germany. There is an infinite multitude of small and large enclaves, true parallel states, that threaten both the stability and the integrity of Europe.

The Migration Research Institute in Budapest, linked to the prestigious Matthias Corvinus College, estimates 900 uncontrolled areas throughout Europe.

What are they like? In these territories, the police, social workers and ambulances do not enter or must be protected. The high birth rates guarantee longevity and expansion. They are places where a woman can be openly harassed during the day. These areas constitute threats to security through crime, riots and terrorism. But the triad is not a matter of debate. In the end, Sharia law is de facto respected by the inhabitants, not de iure: over time, butchers are only halal, mixed hairdressers disappear, and women are pressured to conform to Islamic law. It goes without saying that Jews must not be seen.

With the numbers of Islamic immigration, positive law in Europe is powerless over social and cultural norms.

“There are 60 ‘risk areas’ in Sweden,” Swedish journalist Paulina Neuding writes in the Spectator. “Sweden’s immigrant integration policy has failed, leading to parallel societies and gang violence,” left-wing Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson had already said. And again: “Society is simply too weak to break the segregation and reject parallel societies.”

Violence against health workers in many areas of Sweden is so endemic that they want to set up a “protection system” in no-go zones with large populations of migrants hostile to the authorities. Postal services have also stopped sending workers to areas of Stockholm with a high number of immigrants because it is too dangerous. Firefighters were forced to abandon efforts to put out a blaze in a burning building after locals attacked them.

The DGSI, the French directorate general of internal counterintelligence, has mapped 150 districts “in possession” of the Islamists. Districts, neighborhoods, enclaves now in the hands of fundamentalists and who shape them according to their ideology of submission. According to the former number two of the French DGSE, Alain Chouet, who published the book “Sept pas vers l’enfer”, “these districts are in 859 cities and 4 million people live there, or 6 percent of the total population of France”.

To carry out arrests in the lost territories of Marseille, the police dress up as Muslims. Like in Fauda, the Netflix series on Israeli anti-terrorism.

The French newspaper Le Parisien revealed that the “no-go zones” are now located in the heart of the capital. Like the Chapelle-Pajol neighborhood, in the eastern part of Paris.

When there were violent uprisings in the banlieues two summers ago, “Nicolas,” a member of the “Bac de nuit” (criminal police) sent to Nanterre, confessed: “We no longer have the impression of being in France. We were quickly overwhelmed; the firefighters were attacked every time we moved”.

The Europe of open borders has ended up with no-go zones.

The problem is that European governments, and this is what Barbara Slowik’s shocking admission tells us, seem to have concluded that it is too late to prevent an Islamized Europe and that all that can be done is to cushion its effects, at least in the immediate future, and hope that the destruction is limited to a few areas, hopefully not theirs. (Remember what Winston Churchill said about appeasers and crocodiles.)

We are turning into a gigantic no-go zone where the clash of civilizations is taking place.
