Pro-Hamas/Hezbollah and Jews rally and counter-rally in London

LONDON -- Pro-Hamas/Hezbollah demonstrators booed the Jews and patriots who stand in support of them at a downtown rally today. Many held signs supporting their side while the police allowed the terrorist supporters to march freely in the streets while the Jewish/Israel supporters were made to stand in a fenced off area.

Reporters are getting arrested in Britain for such things as calling Hamas a terrorist organization. Freedom of speech and expression is no longer a thing in Merry Old England. And those reporters who don't belong to a trade union will also be arrested, so podcasters or YouTube reporters need to be subtle in how they operate.

They get to march freely

And Niak Romani [not certain how to spell his name] held a sign that called Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists and was escorted away by police because they evidently don't agree with him.

Meanwhile, the Islamists were booing the Jews and the British patriots. In other words, the Islamists were booing their own country, while the Jewish demonstrators and patriots were calling for an end to hate.

Niak as he was escorted to the sideline

Chants of "Free free Palestine" were shouted while in the closed off area the Jews shouted, "Am Yisrael Chai." or 'The People of Israel Live." Then naturally, the Islamists chanted the handy-dandy "from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free." We all know that means they want the Jews out of Israel altogether. 

A two-state solution is out of the question with these terrorist supporters.

Am Yisrael ChaI!

Candace "Holocaust Schmolocaust" Owens barred from NZ over her anti-Semitic rhetoric

Owens

Formerly conservative commentator Candace Owens has been denied entry into New Zealand because they already have their share of Jew haters and they don't need her to add to the hatred. The ban is due to Australia's ban last month that cited some of the crap that she spewed against Jews and Muslims, showing that she's an equal opportunity hater.

Owens had been a member of The Daily Wire but was fired from the company as her anti-Semitism went public. One of the owners of The Daily Wire, of course, is Ben Shapiro, an orthodox Jew who basically had enough of her bile.

Anyway, the immigration authorities directly cited the provision in New Zealand law that individuals excluded from another country may not be granted a visa, without mentioning her hateful remarks.

Australian Immigration Minister Tony Burke had announced in late October that Owens was not welcome because "From downplaying the impact of the Holocaust with comments about German SS officer Josef Mengele through to claims that Muslims started slavery, Candace Owens has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction.

"Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else," Burke stated.

The move to ban Owens had been warmly applauded both by Jewish groups that had called for the ban and the government’s parliamentary Opposition.

In recent months, Owens denied that the infamous Nazi doctor had conducted medical experiments on Jews in Auschwitz, calling the proven facts “bizarre propaganda” that are too “absurd” to be believed.

What had previously been a level-headed conservative pundit has turned into a female version of David Duke and she has become too "absurd" to be believed.

There are Jews who have survived Auschwitz who have reported on the atrocities, including the experiments by Mengele, and there is photographic and first-hand proof beside the reporting of former captives, that these atrocities had taken place. Heck, even the Germans don't deny it.

But Owens has also used the old, worn out anti-Semitic tropes about Jewish power and also claimed that the U.S. is "being held hostage by Israel," and the preposterous notion that pro-Israel lobby AIPAC was behind the assassination of president John F. Kennedy, and that “secret Jewish gangs” control Hollywood.

Of course, she offers not a shred of evidence.

Owens has defended anti-Semitic rapper Kanye West and gave it a "like" on X, which claimed that pro-Israel Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is "drunk on Christian blood." There you go with the trusty old blood libel. Boteach should sue the crap out of her and West.

Owens had been selling tickets to events in several cities in both Australia and New Zealand that were to be held early next year, which was billed as a speaking tour about her Christian faith and her views on freedom of speech. 

She's about as Christian as Osama bin Laden.

The overpriced events she collected for have yet to be formally cancelled.

Syrian rebels launch major attack advance toward Aleppo in their civil war

Thousands of Syrian rebels continued on in their advance as they attack government-controlled areas of the country's northwest and they're threatening to reach Aleppo, Syria's second largest city. Meanwhile, the rebels are gaining control of several strategically important towns along the way.

Syria's state media reported that insurgents fired projectiles at the student dorms at Aleppo University, located in the city center, killing four people, including two students. Public buses and other transport to Aleppo have been rerouted from the main road connecting it to Damascus to steer clear of the fighting, according to the government's news outlets.

People living in Aleppo said they heard missiles being fired on the edges of the city.

Meanwhile, opposition fighters have pushed forward into Saraqab, a town in Idlib province to the northwest, which is crucial for controlling supply routes to Aleppo.

This week's military gains by the opposition groups, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), are some of the biggest in recent times after a period of relatively quiet conflict. This is the most significant fighting in northwest Syria since 2020, when government forces took back territories held by rebels. It's also the biggest push by opposition forces on Aleppo since they lost control of the city's eastern parts in 2016.

The Syrian Armed Forces stated that the insurgents are breaking a 2019 agreement that had calmed the fighting in the region, which has been the last area held by opposition forces for several years.
State media mentioned airstrikes targeting insurgents in the rural areas of Aleppo and Idlib.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group that tracks the war, reported that dozens of fighters on both sides have died since the fighting began on Wednesday. The insurgents have taken over more than 50 villages in their push forward, which appears to have surprised the government troops.

This offensive coincides with a time when Iran-linked groups, who have supported Syrian government forces since 2015, are dealing with conflicts back in Iran.

Israel and Hezbollah, the primary group in the Iran-backed coalition, have been engaged in an escalating conflict since September. A ceasefire was declared on Wednesday, the same day the Syrian opposition forces started their offensive. Over the last 70 days, Israel has ramped up its attacks on Hezbollah and other Iran-linked targets in Syria. “Hezbollah was the main force in the government’s control of the city,” said Rami Abdurrahman, the head of the Observatory, the war monitor.

The insurgents reported that fighters have taken control of the Scientific Research Center neighborhood, located about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from the western edge of Aleppo city. However, government-linked media claimed there are still ongoing clashes in that area, denying that the insurgents have captured it.

Insurgents posted videos online showing they were employing drones in their advance, a new tactic not seen in the earlier confrontations with government forces. It remains unclear how extensively these drones have been deployed on the battlefield.

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency, reporting from Idlib, estimated that the Syrian opposition fighters have gained control over approximately 400 square kilometers in Aleppo and Idlib province, coming within one kilometer (0.6 miles) of Aleppo City.

The agency also reported that early Friday, the insurgents used drones to attack a military airbase southeast of Aleppo city, destroying a helicopter.

It said the opposition groups captured heavy weapons, depots, and military vehicles from government forces during their advance.

Aid groups stated that the fighting has displaced thousands of families, leading to the suspension of some services. The opposition fighters claimed their offensive would enable the return of thousands of displaced people who had to flee due to recent government bombardments.

The 2016 battle for Aleppo was a pivotal moment in the war between Syrian government forces and rebel fighters since the 2011 protests against Bashar Assad’s rule escalated into full-blown conflict.

Russia and Iran, along with allied groups, aided Syrian government forces in recapturing all of Aleppo in that year, following a harsh military campaign and a siege that lasted for weeks.

Turkey has been a significant supporter of various opposition forces, establishing a military presence in parts of northwestern Syria. Separately, in eastern Syria, the United States has backed Syrian Kurdish forces in their fight against Islamic State militants.

This current situation is likely to cause even more migration to Western nations.Turkey, Understand, both sides are Islamists so we should not be taking any side in this civil war.

IDF eliminates Hamas commander found in former Gaza school

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) located and precisely targeted Mumin Al-Jabari, a high-ranking member of Hamas' Gaza City Brigade sniper unit, as confirmed by the IDF in a statement released late Wednesday night.

According to the IDF, Al-Jabari was operating from within a building that had previously functioned as the Al-Tabaeen school.

"Al-Jabari directed and carried out terror attacks against IDF troops in the Gaza Strip and stored a large amount of weapons in the room in which he operated," the statement detailed.

"In August, the IDF struck the structure, used as an active shelter, and eliminated over 30 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists."

"This is another example of the Islamic Jihad's systematic exploitation of civilian infrastructure and the civilian population as a human shield for its terrorist activities," the IDF stated, highlighting the misuse of civilian spaces.

The strike was executed with the guidance of IDF and ISA intelligence. The IDF emphasized that measures were taken to minimize civilian casualties, stating, "including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence."

The IDF concluded by reaffirming its commitment to continue targeting terrorists who use schools and other civilian structures as shelters.

Hezbollah violated the ceasefire on day one

On the first day of the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, IDF soldiers detained four Hezbollah terrorists, one of whom was a local leader, in southern Lebanon. These arrests happened because the suspects went into an area they weren't supposed to, breaking the ceasefire rules, as stated by Israel's Prime Minister's Office (PMO). It isn't known what they might have been planning but there seems to be no other reason for this breach of the agreement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz stressed the need to strictly follow the agreement, ordering the IDF to stop any unauthorized movement near the border. The PMO declared, "The IDF will keep taking strong action against any Hezbollah breach of the agreement."

The ceasefire, which began at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, is meant to stop the 14 months of fighting along the Israel-Lebanon border. Under the terms of the deal, the IDF will pull out of southern Lebanon over the next 60 days, and the Lebanese army, as opposed to Hezbollah, will then occupy those areas. U.S. and French representatives are monitoring to make sure everyone sticks to the deal.

An Israeli security official explained that the withdrawal would happen in stages, depending on whether all parties stick to the agreement, the AP reported. "It's a gradual withdrawal," the official noted, stressing that the speed of this process relies on having good enforcement measures in place.

The IDF reported the first violation of the ceasefire just a few hours after it began. Soldiers stopped a vehicle with several suspects in a no-go zone, firing to halt its progress. The people inside ran away, and the situation is still being looked into.

Defense Minister Katz reacted to the event, ordering the IDF to take strong action against any similar incidents. "Hezbollah terrorists must be hit if they enter prohibited areas and endanger Israeli troops," Katz stated.

Hezbollah has launched more than 16,000 rockets, missiles, and drones into Israel since October 2023, which forced nearly 70,000 people from northern Israel to leave their homes. During "Operation Northern Arrows," the IDF moved as far as the Litani River, the furthest they've gone into Lebanon since 2000.

As IDF forces slowly pull back, Lebanese government soldiers are supposed to take over the regions south of the Litani River and make sure Hezbollah pulls back too. The success of this peace deal will hinge on vigilant oversight by the U.S. and France, with ongoing reports from military and diplomatic leaders.

Hezbollah's criminal plan to use chemical weapons against IDF

Not loving death more than life, Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a speech from a hidden location
 (credit: Reuters TV/AL MANAR TV via REUTERS)

A report coming shortly after the ceasefire reveals that Hezbollah was planning to use chemical weapons against the IDF in Lebanon. 

Gas masks, chemical materials, and sedatives were uncovered by the IDF in the bloody hands of Hezbollah operatives two months ago, around the time the IDF went into Lebanon. This suggests the terrorists intended to use the supplies to abduct Israelis soldiers and civilians and use them as hostages. 

One has to wonder if it also suggests that the hostages they are still holding are alive.

This report comes shortly after the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon came into effect, on Wednesday, where the IDF and Hezbollah agree to hold their fire for the next 60 days, after which the ceasefire will become permanent, according to the agreement, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Since then, Hezbollah already broke the ceasefire, according to various sources, shortly after the agreement went into effect. Hezbollah terrorists were seen moving equipment and scumcrumpets into areas where they weren't allowed to go, as per the agreement. They reportedly moved missile launchers and terrorists toward border towns and also fired projectiles at Israel, which prompted Israel's response. While it's important to note that these claims were mostly made on X, and thus unverified, knowing what we know about Hezbollah, nobody should be surprised.

Since the fighting between Hezbollah and Israel began over a year ago when Iran's proxy fired rockets and missiles at Israel the day after Hamas attacked Israel and slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians, over 3,500 Lebanese were killed and 15,000 injured in the conflict, while about 150 Israelis were killed, soldiers and civilians, right up to the ceasefire.

One thing is certain: if Israel doesn't finish the job with Hamas and Hezbollah, the terrorists will continue on their religious quest to kill the Jews 'wherever they find them.' By finishing the job, at the very least Israel needs to destroy the leadership and secure Gaza and the Lebanon-Israeli border . . . at the very least.

France gov't now says Netanyahu is "immune" from ICC prosecution and wouldn't arrest him

France has always been a wishy-washy country, especially when it comes to Israel. On the one hand, France was one of the first countries to recognize Israel and established diplomatic relationships with the Jewish State in 1949. In the 1950s and 60s, they were Israel's main weapons suppliers.

More recently, France tries to balance their support of Israel's right to security, while advocating for so called Palestine's statehood and rights. They naively support the two-state solution as the way to peace and believe in a viable, democratic Palestinian state alongside Israel--as if that would work out for both sides.

France has always condemned Israeli settlement activities in Israel, which the Arabs refer to as occupied territories. And now they criticize Israel's actions in Gaza after Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 which killed 1,200 Israelis on that day. And while Hamas uses civilians as human shields, and fires rockets at Israeli civilian populations from houses, schools and mosques in Gaza, France has been critical of Israel for defending itself by firing back at the sources of the attacks.

France usually positions itself as an advocate for international law in regards of the Israeli-Palestinian war and has supported UN resolutions that are critical of Israel's policies. They voted in favor of a UN resolution that demands an end to Israel's occupation in Gaza and Judea and Samaria thus giving Hamas a victory against the, you know, Jews. If you had to pick one Western nation with a seriously high level of anti-Semitism, you would have to look no further than France and the French people.

But Trump's coming soon after Christmas and perhaps for that reason, the French government will not carry out the arrest warrant issued by the Islamists of the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The ICC claims that Netanyahu directed the IDF to carry out crimes against humanity.

If fighting back those who would see every Israeli dead is a crime, then suicide is a virtue.

In a statement released by the country’s foreign office, French authorities wrote that the Rome Statute – which established the ICC – established that leaders of states which have not signed the treaty are immune from prosecution.

Israel, like the United States, did not sign up to the statute and has never been a member of the court.

The ICC seems to believe and asserts that it does have jurisdiction over the IDF’s actions in Gaza, because the make believe land called Palestine was allowed to join in 2015 after their delegation was admitted to the United Nations as an observer state.

France’s foreign office said it believes Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, Israel’s former defense minister who has also been accused of directing crimes against humanity, are immune from prosecution.

It said: “In accordance with the long-standing friendship between France and Israel, two democracies committed to the rule of law and to respect for a professional and independent justice system, France intends to continue working in close cooperation with Prime Minister Netanyahu and the other Israeli authorities to achieve peace and security for all in the Middle East.”

The ICC has no enforcement powers and relies on the 124 states that are its members to enact its arrest warrants.

The Netherlands, in which the court in based, Ireland and Canada have all said they will arrest Netanyahu and Gallant, proving that Ireland, the Netherlands, and Canada suck.

Britain, where Islamists have been running amok,  has refused to comment directly but has indicated that they would detain the Israeli prime minister were he to visit the UK.

In a statement last week, a government spokesperson said: “We respect the independence of the International Criminal Court which is the primary international institution for investigating and prosecuting the most serious crimes of international concern.

“This government has been clear that Israel has a right to defend itself, in accordance with international law. There is no moral equivalence between Israel, a democracy, and Hamas and Lebanese Hezbollah, which are terrorist organizations.”

The ICC is seeking to try Netanyahu and Gallant over claims that they deliberately blocked humanitarian aid and medical supplies from entering Gaza, that they used starvation as a method of warfare, and that they targeted Palestinians on the grounds of their identity.

The court claims the Israeli leaders "intentionally and knowingly" deprived Palestinian civilians of food, water and medicine from the start of their campaign in Gaza till at least May of this year. This claim is a lie as there is clear video evidence showing armed Hamas terrorists stealing the supplies and food for themselves.

Israeli officials have angrily, and rightfully denounced the ICC’s anti-Semitic, move.

Tom Cotton ridicules 'partisans and obstructionists' in DOD who reportedly plan to block Trump's plans

U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) strongly criticized any individuals [aka obstructionists] within the Department of Defense who are attempting to protect specific norms or policies that they anticipate will be challenged by the incoming Trump administration.

"It appears that partisans and obstructionists inside the Department of Defense are laying groundwork to defy or circumvent President Trump’s plans for both military and civil-service reform," Cotton wrote in a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in reference to reports of such strategizing among DOD employees.

"These actions undermine civilian control of the military and our constitutional structure of government."

[H/T Fox News Digital]

There were "informal discussions" earlier in the month among Pentagon officials regarding what the department would do if President Trump, as Commander in Chief, ordered the military for a domestic purpose or even if he simply fired a substantial number of useless employees.

One anonymous defense official was quoted in the report telling CNN, "Troops are compelled by law to disobey unlawful orders." 

"But the question is what happens then – do we see resignations from senior military leaders? Or would they view that as abandoning their people?" they reportedly asked.

But the other question is, if illegal aliens are flooding into the country posing a threat to America as it's known that some are terrorists, murderers and otherwise criminals, isn't the military supposed to protect the people? 

Israel and Ukraine know the answer to that question.

Trump promised during his campaign to shake up the federal government, whether it be through staffing changes or reorganization. Some reports have indicated specific people, those who are as useless as a monkey wrench for a trout, are being looked at for termination once he enters office again. 

In fact, the majority of Americans, those who voted for President-elect Trump, want to see the government shrunk in size, and Vivek Ramaswamy, who was tapped by Trump along with Elon Musk to do the job, agrees with the American people.

Ramaswamy and Musk will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in Trump's administration with the goal of reducing the size of our bloated government and cutting spending while increasing efficiency.

Senator Cotton criticized the progressive Defense Secretary in his letter for "promulgating false claims that the incoming administration plans to arbitrarily fire uniformed leaders."

He also slammed Lloyd for a message after the election that the military would specifically follow "lawful orders" from Trump. Cotton said this was "a thinly veiled and baseless insinuation that President Trump will issue unlawful orders."

Lloyd is that aforementioned monkey wrench, as he has made the military an experiment in woke ideology. He has supported gender dysphoric people in the military and has fully supported make-believe President Biden's directive allowing transgender people to serve openly. In fact there have been cases under Lloyd's tenure where the taxpayers footed the bill for several military members to have their members removed and dress as women soldiers and sailors.

"I have to observe that these actions and reports only prove the need for reform and fundamental change at the Department of Defense. And, of course, while inappropriate and annoying, these tactics are also useless because no action by the outgoing administration can limit the incoming president’s constitutional authority as commander-in-chief," Cotton wrote.

Cotton was elected to serve as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference in the new Congress. He is also expected to take Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-FL) place as the head of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

BREAKING: Ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah tonight but there's an UPDATE

With the impending Trump presidency on January 20th, an agreement has been reached between Israel and Hezbollah for a ceasefire. The details will be announced tonight, but we know that it calls for a 60 day truce--you know, like when Donald Trump is sworn into office.

Naturally, Kamala Harris will take credit for the ceasefire after her return from vacation in Hawaii, and Joe Biden will announce it from where he may have wandered off to.

The deal was brokered by the United States and France, a country that has been proudly showing their anti-Semitic bona fides. 

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati is scheduled to deliver a statement welcoming the agreement, while Israel’s government is expected to give final approval during a cabinet meeting. 

Defense Minister Yisrael Katz has vowed to respond forcefully to any violations, warning Hezbollah against exploiting the truce to rebuild its military presence. In other words, if Hezbollah tries to regroup, especially by the border, Israel will react.

“We will act against any threat, anytime and anywhere,” Katz told UN Special Envoy for Lebanon Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert. 

The IDF will withdraw from southern Lebanon, thus allowing the Lebanese army to deploy 5,000 troops in the region. Hezbollah is also required to cease its armed activities south of the Litani River, aligning with the long-standing but weakly enforced UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Nobody should be surprised that the UN is not doing its job.

Defense Minister Katz warned that Israel would monitor the truce very closely. “Every house in southern Lebanon that is rebuilt and in which a terrorist base is established will be demolished,” Katz said. “Every rearming and regrouping by terrorists will be attacked.”

Responsibility for maintaining the ceasefire lies with the Lebanese army and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). UNIFIL, which is as useless as a soft rubber crutch for its inability to enforce demilitarization, will work alongside the Lebanese government to implement the agreement. Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib naively expressed optimism, highlighting U.S. aid as critical for rebuilding infrastructure destroyed during recent Israeli strikes.

Israeli officials insist that strict oversight is essential to prevent arms smuggling and domestic weapons production by Hezbollah. “If you don’t do it, we will,” Katz warned UN officials.

As I am writing this, it has been reported that Hezbollah has already attacked Israeli locations, including central Israel. The time in Israel is about 0100 and there is three hours to go before the ceasefire is official. There have been no Israeli casualties reported at this time.

The Lebanese army has moved toward the southern part of the country, but the IDF will remain in Lebanon to monitor.

The world is watching to see what happens next--stay tuned.

AZ Dem. Gov. Katie Hobbs celebrates the proposition to kill babies

Katie Hobbs celebrates amendment to kill babies

On Monday, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs (D) says she "celebrates" Proposition 139 passing which amends the AZ Constitution to enshrine the fundamental right to an abortion. Safe, legal and rare is now a distant memory. Now it's a religion of sorts where women celebrate their abortions, some as many as 40 or more, and wear tee shirts to shout their abortion.

But it's a coverup.

I'm not a woman nor do I dress as one and claim to be, yet I believe intuitively that a woman who kills her unborn baby, will suffer for it in the future because of their motherly instinct. And yes, that's a real thing.

It is not time to celebrate Proposition 139, Governor Hobbs, it's a time to bow our heads at the legal action taken against the most vulnerable and the harm it will render to the mothers who had their babies killed.

Yes, as simply put as that.

The real reason Proposition 139 was penned is to overturn Arizona's common sense safety standards that protect both the unborn children and the well-being and lives of their mothers. Now it not only legalizes abortion until birth, but it puts safety procedures and standards at risk.

And simply put: it's wrong and not to be celebrated.

Illegal alien charged with town's first "stranger rape" in a dozen years, days after his release from jail

Herndon, Virginia -- Officers arrested Denis Humberto Navarette Romero, 31, Monday on charges of intent to defile and rape. Romero is an illegal alien from Honduras. He was charged with raping a woman on a hiking trail outside the nation's capital merely days after being released from jail ON ANOTHER SEX CRIME CHARGE! 

This is the first sexual assault by a stranger in the town for more than 12 years, authorities say.

“This is the only stranger rape that we have had in the town in my more than 12 years as chief of police,” said Herndon, Virginia, police chief Maggie DeBoard in a press conference Tuesday.

Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin blasted local officials for letting this garbage of a human being, a serial sexual scumquat, be released back into the community rather than turning him over to ICE for deportation.

“I am heartsick for this victim and outraged that local Fairfax County officials recklessly release violent illegal immigrants who should have been prosecuted and deported,” the Governor told The New York Post.

“This is a dereliction of their most basic duty to keep people safe. Prioritizing violent illegal immigrants over the safety of Fairfax residents is unacceptable,” he continued — adding that Virginia is not a sanctuary state.

The illegal alien is a Honduran national residing in the US illegally, with a rap sheet dates back years, according to Herndon police. He was released from jail just four days prior to his arrest Monday at the Washington and Old Dominion Trail about 25 miles west of the capital.

He was freed on Nov. 14 after serving just half his 50-day indecent exposure sentence due to “good behavior,” authorities said. In other words, while in jail, he didn't expose himself to Bubba and the gang, nor did he attempt to rape an inmate--he simply bided his time. 

The victim, who cops say didn’t know her attacker before the assault, was on the busy walking trail when he allegedly grabbed her arm, forced her to the ground and raped her just before 9 p.m. Monday.

After a bystander called for help, police arrived to the scene and arrested Romero within minutes.

DeBoard, the police chief, told reporters Romero has a history of sexual assaults in town and the surrounding area, but hey, that's no big deal. After all, he's a guest in our country and we need to treat him with respect and give him another chance. After all, what are the chances that he'll sexually assault someone DeBoard knows?

DeBoard told reporters this is the first incident of stranger rape she’s seen in her 12 years as the town’s top cop. "What is disturbing is the number of times this individual has been arrested and released," she told reporters. "He has continued to reoffend and his behavior has escalated to a rape in a very public area."

Yes, Romero set a new record in the town and his sex crime spree only began in 2018 when the very same Herndon PD received a report that he fondled a 14-year-old child. That triggered a Fairfax County sex crimes investigation, which uncovered that he’d also exposed himself to a 10-year-old and 13-year-old the year prior, per police records obtained by the Washington Post.

But hey, at least he didn't do it to any child of the town officials.

One woman, Jennifer DePugh, told Fox 5 DC that this illegal alien exposed himself to her while she was walking her dog in Northern Virginia last month.

Jennifer DePugh

"He kept coming trying to grab my dog. Then he was trying to come after me he was saying stuff. He didn’t speak English and then all of a sudden he started pulling his stuff [most likely his penis] out," Pugh told the local outlet. "I said ‘there’s Ring cameras all around, you know’ and he didn’t care."

The human excrement is now being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center as he awaits a preliminary hearing.

“It’s frustrating because I tell the community you should feel safe here and I do believe they are safe here, I truly do, but when you have cases like this, I look at this and see some part of the system… if it was all working together, if there was a way to make it work, this never would have happened,” DeBoard said, adding that no single party to the process is to blame.

Gov. Youngkin reminded the public that Romero and his ilk aren't going to get out of jail so easily once Trump is in office in 2025.

“When President Trump takes office, the political posturing will end and localities will cooperate with ICE to protect Virginians,” Youngkin said.

Once politicians are directly affected by the policies they support, the policies will change. Trump will directly affect these leftists.

Target says sorry after firing woman over what was on her name tag

Fargo, ND -- A woman was fired from Target for wearing "Men Can Have Babies Too" on her name tag.

Just kidding--she was fired for having the words "trust in Jesus" below her name. If she had the former saying, I would likely not be writing this because she would have likely kept her job.

But now Target has issued an apology to Denise Kendrick, who was initially fired for "violating the company's dress code, according to KVLY. She said the firing came after a manager approached her about the tag.

“I replied, ‘Well, I’ve seen people with rainbows on theirs. I’m going to continue to wear this name tag,’ and then they said, ‘Well, you can’t work here anymore,’” she told the news outlet.

Ms. Kendrick said the manager refused to provide documentation explaining the reason for her firing. She also asked for a written statement as to why she was terminated, but she said the manager refused to provide it.

However, Kendrick said she was given a paper with a list of contact information regarding Target’s dress code policy.

“They gave me this paper with all these phone numbers on it and said, ‘If you have any questions about the violation of the dress code, just call one of these numbers.’ And he just kept repeating it, and we just kept going back and forth, and it was going nowhere,” she said.

Kendrick said on the day of her firing, she was wearing a plain red sweatshirt, jeans and her name tag...

However, after reviewing the incident, Target apologized and offered Kendrick her job back.

Kendrick said she didn't understand the manager’s actions because she had worn other religion-themed items previously with no issues. “I’ve worn Christian-themed shirts before to work for months and have never had an issue. I’m wondering why the name tag was any different,” she explained.

Upon reviewing the incident, Target issued a statement with the apology:

“Upon learning of the situation, we conducted a review and determined that the team member should not have been terminated. We apologized to her and offered to reinstate her immediately. We are taking the appropriate steps to address the actions taken by the individual leader involved in this situation and are working with the store to ensure our policies are appropriately followed moving forward.”

Kendrick has not indicated whether she will return to Target, who apparently have more respect for men who think they're women than for many who believe Jesus is the son of God. 

For now, there are no further details about the incident, but it seems as if Kendrick did not violate Target's dress code policy. Rather it was the manager who took it upon himself to make up a dress code violation because he is not a fan of Jesus and may, in fact, be a fan of people with gender dysphoria and perhaps other mental disorders since he did not have issues with people who expressed their support of this mentally ill community since he didn't show the same treatment to the LGBTQ+1XYZ-42&/ community.

Unfortunately, Kendrick's case is all too common as the "woke" often try to coerce others into abiding by their radical ideology. Imagine, a manager was willing to take away a person's income for wearing a name tag that would obviously not threaten normal customers.

Although Target did the right thing with an apology, it isn't known what the fate of the woke manager was or whether Ms. Kendrick returned to her job.

Would you?

"Allahu Akbar!" he shouted after shooting a Jewish man in Chicago--had plans for future attacks on Jews

An illegal alien allegedly shot a Jewish man who was on his way to a Chicago synagogue last month. He then shot at police and paramedics. He had previously mapped out synagogues, Jewish schools and community centers in the area of West Rogers Park, a predominantly Jewish area, before the attack.

Guess the alleged shooter's name.

There was a detention hearing on Friday with Sidi Mohamed [yes, I said Mohamed] Abdallahi. He used his cellphone to find potential targets in the area before the shooting on October 26th. His target was a 39-year-old Jewish man who was guilty of walking to his synagogue to worship on the Sabbath, according to Yeshiva News World. In addition, he also searched for a gun store and a firing range in the area. 

Assistant State’s Attorney Anne McCord Rodgers said, "This was not anything but a planned attack … an attempted assassination of these people. This was a calculated plan, on a public street… and an attempted slaughter of that person and law enforcement officers."

Abdallahi, a Muslim, has been in the US illegally for two years. He appeared in court on Friday for the first time since being hospitalized due to gunshot wounds he earned in a shootout with the police.

Law enforcement said that there was data on Abdallahi's phone of saved locations and synagogues. He also conducted internet searches for “Jewish Community Center” days before the attack. Prosecutors also stated that the phone contained hundreds of anti-Semitic and pro-Hamasshole videos. 

After the attack, local officials failed to report it as a hate crime or terrorism because, after all, it was planned against, you know, Jews, despite Abdallahi yelling "Allahu Akbar," as the viral video of the shooting shows.

McCord Rodgers added, “This was a targeted attack against the Jewish community.”

The video [above] does not report that hate crime charges have been filed but as of today, they have.

The visibly Jewish victim [he wore a kippah or yarmulke and looked intelligent] was walking in the 2900 block of West Farwell Avenue when Abdallahi opened fire from behind him. The Jewish victim told investigators that he heard the gunshot and felt pain in his shoulder but didn’t realize he had been shot until noticing a hole in his jacket.

The shooting was captured on surveillance footage. Abdallahi was heard screaming “Allahu Akbar” and was seen running away while attempting to clear his semi-automatic pistol, which jammed because he probably didn't clean it. He returned to the scene on foot for his car and, according to prosecutors, Abdallahi fired two shots at police officers and paramedics who were tending to the victim at the scene. He then got into a firefight with officers and hit an ambulance twice before being shot by police.

Despite his injuries, Abdallahi fired at officers again before collapsing, but the cops didn't kill him because jihads only work one way.

According to Fox 32, Judge Susana Ortiz ordered Abdallahi to remain in custody on multiple counts of attempted murder, hate crime, and terrorism.

Special Counsel Jack Smith moves to drop all cases against President-elect Trump

Special Counsel Jack Smith knows his days at the Justice Department are numbered. It's pretty clear that President-elect Donald Trump plans to let him go, and there's no chance his two current cases against the new administration will continue. Today, he asked to dismiss the charges related to election interference, which many see as a sign that the Democrat-led legal attacks against Mr. Trump have completely failed. He also decided to drop his appeal in the case about classified documents. This whole situation is wrapping up, according to the Washington Post:

"Special Counsel Jack Smith asked a judge on Monday to dismiss the federal election interference charges against incoming president Donald Trump, putting an end to a lengthy investigation that never made it trial.

Smith asked U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan to dismiss the case without prejudice, acknowledging that Justice Department policy prohibits prosecuting a sitting president. If she does that, it leaves open the possibility that prosecutors could again bring charges once Trump leaves office after his second White House term."

Legal experts have mentioned that once in office, Trump might do something that's never been tried before: He could pardon himself to prevent any future legal trouble.

Trump is currently facing four charges linked to trying to interfere with the 2020 election results.

Since there's no upcoming election for him, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump thought about pardoning himself, but his close advisors might talk him out of it, not wanting to pull his focus from important legislative goals. However, this could also serve as a useful distraction for the media, who would likely become extremely upset over such a move, allowing Trump to push through a bunch of executive orders and laws aimed at securing the border and boosting the economy. Alternatively, Mr. Trump could decide to pardon himself in the very last moments of his presidency in 2029.

"The American People re-elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate to Make America Great Again. Today’s decision by the DOJ ends the unconstitutional federal cases against President Trump and is a major victory for the rule of law," said Steven Cheung, Trump's incoming White House Communications Director. "The American People and President Trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system, and we look forward to uniting our country.”

Trump won, they lost and now they're trying to CYA.

NYC Democrat wants firings after violent criminal takes advantage of liberal policy slashing three New Yorkers

Democrat New York Governor, Kathy Hochul, stepped into the New York State Executive Mansion when then Governor Andrew Cuomo left office in shame. Due to the fact that she is on the left, she was voted into office and has since made the state a joke when it comes to illegal aliens.

U.S. Representative Richie Torres from the Bronx, a Democrat, criticized New York's leaders this past weekend for their criminal justice reforms, which he believes allowed for "a homicidal rampage" in broad daylight last week. This resulted in the tragic deaths of three innocent people, killed by a violent man with mental health issues who was let out of jail too soon.

"The bureaucrat in DOC [Department of Correction] who authorized the early release of Ramon should be fired," Torres wrote in an intense letter to Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, both Democrats. "Those who cannot be entrusted with public safety should no longer be employed by the people of New York."

He went on to say that "layers upon layers of government failure" made it possible for Ramon Rivera, a repeat offender with eight prior crimes, to be free. His most recent time in jail included a move to the psychiatric unit at Bellevue Hospital, where he assaulted a corrections officer.

Last week, police arrested the 51-year-old homeless man for allegedly stabbing three people to death in separate incidents in Manhattan on November 18.

Torres criticized the city's Department of Correction, calling it "the worst offender" in Rivera's case. Rivera was let out of jail four months early for "good behavior," even though he had attacked someone at Bellevue and faced no consequences for it, according to Torres.

In the letter, Torres points out that these crimes committed by illegal aliens is "preventable," but the city and state don't have the will to prevent them. He said that the state refuses to allow the mayor the legal authority to prevent the illegal aliens that commit crimes from roaming the streets. He also mentioned, as an example, the homeless illegal alien who went on a stabbing spree.

Torres also blamed Hochul for the stabbing spree, and called on the governor to give New York City police greater power to "institutionalize people," as violent recidivism, homelessness, and mental illness run rampant in NY City. 

Just another example of how the leaders the people vote into office, get what they voted for, good and hard.

Second Cup terminates franchisee anti-Semite who gave Nazi salute and called for "final solution"

Mai Abdulhadi gives Nazi salute and loses her franchise

The Hitler fans are crawling out of the woodwork in the West. 

On Thursday anti-Semites protested at Concordia University acting like full-fledged Nazi thugs and this has sparked an outcry  in Montreal and all across Canada and the globe.

The Nazi-ish rallies took place as part of a two-day strike by hundreds of students from Concordia and McGill Universities, and Dawson College. Dawson and Concordia’s Hall Building closed for the day citing safety concerns because you know how Nazis can get violent, especially against Jews and glass windows. 

In fact, the entire event was reminiscent of Kristallnacht, often called "Night of Broken Glass." It was a pivotal event in Nazi Germany that happened on November 9 to 10 in 1938 after Hitler had implemented many anti-Semitic policies, such as the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, which stripped Jews of their citizenship and civil rights.

More than 7,500 Jewish-owned business were vandalized or destroyed. Over 1,400 synagogues were burned or damaged, and many Jewish homes and community centers were ransacked. 

Approximately 91 Jews were murdered and about 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps such as Dachau, Sachsenahausen, and Buchenwald. Many died there but evidently the scumbags of today don't think that was enough.

The entire Hall Building at Concordia was broken into and occupied by a mob who were seen on video breaking down doors, destroying glass and lights, and spraying graffiti on walls.

Concordia security attempted to stop the rioters, but they flooded the main floor of the Hall building, where they overturned garbage cans and flooded in. Police are looking into an alleged assault on a security guard and alleged acts of mischief. As far as we know, police are not looking into the people who may have organized the riot, but this may be happening covertly.

One of the anti-Semitic, Hitler-loving, scumcrumpet protester, Mai Abdulhadi, owned [past tense] and operated a franchise the Second Cup, located at the Jewish General Hospital [really, no pun intended]. She was videoed yelling,  "the final solution is coming your way," to pro-Israel counter protesters, and giving the Nazi salute with several others.  Of course, the term "final solution," (in German, Endlösung) originated in Nazi Germany and used as a euphemism for the planned genocide of the Jewish people during the Second World War. 

The full term "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" (Endlösung der Judenfrage) was officially adopted by top Nazi leadership to describe their policy of the systematic extermination of Jews all across Europe. It was the result of years of anti-Semitic measures that began as discrimination and expulsion, and ended with mass murder.

Once evidence came to light about Mai Abdulhadi, Second Cup terminated her franchise agreement on Friday.

 Second Cup stated that it "has zero tolerance for hate speech. In coordination with the hospital, we shut down the franchisee's café and are terminating their franchise agreement. This franchisee's actions are not only a breach of our franchise agreement, they also violate the values of inclusion and community we stand for at Second Cup."

And let's face it: Nazis suck.

ICE warns Gov. Hochul after illegal alien is arrested in upstate NY

Democratic-run states may be aiding and abetting illegal aliens under the current failed administration, but as President-elect Trump is ready to get back into the White House, immigration and border officials made it clear that they will be following orders from Trump, not from governors who want to destroy the country.

Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) criticized Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) while announcing the arrest of a wanted illegal immigrant in upstate New York. The Brazilian national had numerous charges against him in the U.S. and Brazil. 

“The men and women of ERO [Enforcement and Removal Operations] will continue to protect our communities from dangerous offenders, regardless of what the governor of New York state says,” Buffalo Field Office Director Thomas Brophy said in a statement. “We will not be deterred by politicians putting votes over protecting the citizens of this nation.”

Well said.

The illegal alien was wanted for strangulation and endangering the welfare of a child in the U.S. and is under investigation in Brazil for several crimes, including murder. The arrest of the scumcrumpet came within days of one another and had a final order of removal.

“These cases highlight the dangers of ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions and state policies that obstruct law enforcement from cooperating with ERO,” Brophy said.

The question now is whether the Democrat governors will go along with ICE officials who will do their job in which Trump had promised mass deportation before he was elected. The ball is in their court: the governors can either help with the removal and deportations of illegal aliens, get out of the way, or make it difficult to carry out Trump's plans.

Although Hochul called Trump just days after he won the election to “reaffirm” their cooperation, we have yet to learn whether she will cooperate with the incoming administration's plans.

On the other hand, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) spoke out of both sides of his mouth as he begged Trump to “fix the border” while also saying he does not support mass deportations. He will obviously say anything to stay in office.

Nearly 500,000 illegal immigrants are in New York City, with over 220,000 of them who have arrived in New York City since spring 2022.

Trump's pick for border czar, Tom Homan, is the former heado of Immigration and Customs Enforcement during Trump's first administration. Homan has promised to close the border and it's very probable that he will be successful, as he warned those who refuse to cooperate with the incoming administration that there will be consequences.

Planned Parenthood busted for selling 23-week old aborted babies to University

America's biggest baby-killer business has done it again: the got caught selling baby body parts to a university for shady research.

There are documents released under a California public records request showing that the abortion factory was selling 23-week-old aborted babies.

The documents that have been recently exposed demonstrate that Planned Parenthood, an organization that doesn't plan parenthood but ends it, has been providing the University of California, San Diego with fetal tissue from fetuses aborted in elective procedures, up to the 23-week mark, where these fetuses might have been viable outside the womb. These contracts hint at a trade where fetal material is used in research, with the possibility of gaining intellectual property rights in return.

David Daleiden from the Center for Medical Progress, among other critics, argues that these arrangements could breach laws by potentially engaging in illegal partial-birth abortions and showing racial bias in the consent process. There's been an upsurge in demands for a federal investigation, asserting that there might be a breach of regulations concerning the sale of human tissue for monetary gain.

The transactions involving the sale of aborted fetuses and their parts were detailed in agreements where UCSD was to acquire “proprietary” fetal material from Planned Parenthood. In return, Planned Parenthood would receive "valuable consideration," meaning they would own any patents or intellectual property resulting from research using this material.

This troubling revelation starts with a heavily-censored research plan that the UCSD Institutional Review Board (IRB) accepted in 2018. Specifically on page 3, it's noted that the research lab at UCSD intended to "collect tissues from fetuses with gestational ages of 4 to 23 weeks from individuals having elective abortions at Planned Parenthood in San Diego." The document also specifies that fetuses deemed "viable and nonanomalous" were included in the study. It's crucial to note that at 23 weeks, most healthy fetuses can now survive with the aid of advanced medical technology.

The IRB submission elaborates that part of the clinical data for each subject will involve “evidence of fetal heart activity by ultrasound immediately prior to the dilation and evacuation procedure.” The research project aimed to procure fetal material from as many as 2,500 patients.

In related communications at the time of the plan's creation, an individual involved in the harvesting process mentions, “[A]ny sample greater than about 12.5w[eeks] requires the use of a dilating medication which is given to the patients 3 hours ahead of their procedure (these are called “cyto” patients).” “Cyto” refers to Cytotec, or Misoprostol, which is commonly utilized in medical abortions to induce labor contractions.

Research indicates that a dose of 50 micrograms of Misoprostol can typically initiate labor within 4 hours. However, Planned Parenthood's guidelines suggest using between 400 to 800 micrograms for later-stage "dilation and evacuation" abortions, which is significantly more, and they advise against letting patients depart from the facility after receiving the medication.

“Planned Parenthood’s use of heavy doses of a labor contraction drug to dilate pregnant women targeted for a viable fetus harvesting project means these are likely not standard ‘dismemberment’ abortions, but either intact partial-birth abortions or full delivery of live preemies,” notes David Daleiden, founder and president of CMP.

Further email correspondence supports this assertion. When discussing the collection of fetal hearts, a UCSD researcher asked the harvesting lab, “Is there someone that we can coordinate with in your lab? We were unclear as to whether you bring the fetuses back to your lab for dissections or if the dissections will be done in clinic. I can have my folks who are cc’d coordinate with whomever is doing the collection.”

Documentation from earlier this year, obtained through a public records request, revealed that there were transfers of aborted fetuses from Planned Parenthood to UC San Diego facilitated by a “Biological Materials Transfer Agreement” contract. This contract, exchanged for “valuable consideration,” allows UCSD “access” to “fetal and placental tissue, which are proprietary materials of PPSD”. It stipulates that “PPSD shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Material, including but not limited to all right, title, and interest in patents and patent applications and other intellectual property rights relating to the Material”.

In March, Sen. Marco Rubio requested an investigation from the U.S. DOJ and HHS. The transfer of any aborted human fetal tissue for “valuable consideration” is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).

Disturbingly, the documents released today also show racial discrimination in what consent forms for the harvesting program tell pregnant women at Planned Parenthood. The English-language forms include 15 bullet-pointed disclosures, the thirteenth of which states: “I understand that the donated blood, tissue, or their derivatives may have significant therapeutic or commercial value. I consent to such uses.” However, this disclosure about the “commercial value” of the patient’s aborted baby is missing from the Spanish-language forms. The documents show UCSD’s IRB approved the racially-disparate translations in at least four consecutive years, from 2017 to 2020.

“The University of California’s documents show Planned Parenthood using labor-inducing chemical abortion drugs to deliver viable, healthy preemies with ultrasound-documented heartbeats in their taxpayer-funded abortion factories—and rather than rushing those preemies to the University hospital NICU, they cut out their hearts and other body parts to sell for patent royalty-generating experiments,” states Daleiden. “These are not just the federal crimes of partial-birth abortion and selling body parts, but also of murder for hire—disparately targeted to Spanish-speaking minorities. State and federal authorities should act to protect the civil rights of mothers and infants immediately.”

Today’s revelation comes just one day after alleged President Joe Biden gave a Presidential Medal of Freedom to former Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards, who oversaw the aborted baby part sales.

If that doesn't disgust you, I have no words.

Texas imam arrested and charged in child pornography case

Wisam Sharieff

A Texas imam, Wisam Sharieff is in custody in Talladega County, Texas, and is facing federal charges of conspiracy to produce child pornography. Court documents accuses him of soliciting disgustingly explicit videos of a child from a Shelby County resident.

Sharieff is considered a flight risk and is being held without bond.

The mother of the child, Blake Miller Barakat, was arrested in Chelsea last month on child sexual abuse charges and is being held on nearly $2 million bond. 

Court documents indicate Barakat identified Sharieff as her online teacher who taught her about the Quran and used religion to discuss sexual topics as Islam is wont to do, and children are not out of bounds as the prophet of Islam, Mohammed, set the example as he was married to Ayisha when she was 6-years-old, and consummated the marriage when she was 9. 

Sharieff eventually expressed interest to Barakat about a child and court documents allege that Barakat and the imam began making pornographic videos of her and the child which she sent to Sharieff.

The Shelby County Sheriff's Office said the county DHR office informed deputies it received as anonymous tip from a resident in Euless, Texas who reported Sharieff was receiving videos of a minor. It is my belief that it was the wife of Sharieff who discovered the videos sent to her imam husband, and reported it to authorities.

The sheriff's office said investigators were led to Barakat and they requested help from Birmingham FBI with identifying and locating Sharieff.

BREAKING: Trump Sentencing Delayed in Hush Money Case

NEW YORK CITY -- Professor Alan Dershowitz coined the term "lawfare," and it's appropriate to use it in the case[s] brought against President-elect Donald Trump. The case in question here is the one brought up about pornography performer Stormy Daniels [whose real name is Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford] in which Trump was found guilty but sentencing has been delayed indefinitely.

Prosecutors appear to be leaning toward freezing the case for four years while Trump is in office so that it hangs over his head while he heads the country. See, it's more important for the lunatic left to make him look bad and perhaps fail as president, than it is to want the US to be successful and the world to be safe. If that wasn't true, the borders would have been closed, walls built, when Joe Biden came into power.

That is why Trump won the election--people are fed up with the left and their actions that seem to show they care more about the illegal aliens coming into the country, than our citizens, which is why Hurricane Milton's victims received a paltry $750 while illegal aliens got $10,000 dollars, luxury hotel housing, and free medical benefits.

Judge Juan Merchan, in a one-page court filing, granted a request to postpone Trump's scheduled sentencing on Nov. 26 as defense lawyers continue to work to dismiss the case, according to multiple media reports. 

Merchan's daughter, Loren Merchan, has been involved with Authentic Campaigns, a consulting firm that works with Democratic clients, including some who've criticized Trump or fundraised based upon his legal issues.

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts related to hush money payments made years ago to Stormy Daniels.

Earlier this week, District Attorney Alvin Bragg in a letter to Merchan filed on Tuesday wrote that his office acknowledges that Trump is not likely to be sentenced “until after the end or after the end of Defendant’s upcoming presidential term.”

Bragg also told Merchan not to dismiss Trump’s conviction because Bragg hates Trump and also happens to be an incompetent attorney with a chip on his shoulder.

This story is still developing.

Massive airstrike in Syria neutralizes 68

Palmyra, Syria -- On Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike in Syria struck three positions used by Hezbollah and other pro-Iranian terrorist organizations.

A series of Israeli airstrikes in eastern Syria resulted in the deaths of at least 68 individuals, according to a Syrian opposition group, marking it as one of the most lethal attacks attributed to Israel in the region in recent years.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), an anti-regime watchdog based in London, reported that the strikes involved three separate attacks by Israeli warplanes on Wednesday. These attacks targeted positions held by Hezbollah and other groups allied with Iran near Palmyra, in the Homs district.

The SOHR updated their casualty figures on Thursday, stating that all 68 victims were combatants. This included 42 Syrian fighters linked to pro-Iranian militias, among them five officers collaborating with Hezbollah. Additionally, the casualties comprised four Lebanese Hezbollah members and 22 fighters from the Nujaba Movement who were not Syrian.

The strikes also wounded 43 people, with seven of those being civilians, as per the SOHR's report.

The Syrian government's news agency, SANA, corroborated the event, reporting that at least 36 Syrians were killed and over 50 were wounded in the attacks.

“The Zionist entity committed a horrific crime in Palmyra today, which claimed the lives of 36 citizens and injured dozens of others in the air aggression carried out by Israeli aircraft, targeting a number of residential buildings and causing material damage to the buildings and surrounding area.” Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced in a statement to SANA Wednesday.

The Syrian defense ministry reported that among the Syrian nationals killed in the airstrikes, ten were soldiers of the Syrian army.

The Israeli military chose not to comment on the matter when approached regarding the airstrikes.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), the attacks consisted of two bombings within the Al-Jam’iya neighborhood of Palmyra. These strikes hit a weapons storage facility and a building where leaders of pro-Iranian militias were stationed.
