IDF: rocket fired from Lebanon at Israel lands harmlessly near town of Shlomi

The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) reported that a rocket fired from Lebanon at Israel landed harmlessly in an open area near the town of Shlomi. The Hezbollah-linked media also reported this incident.

No rocket warning sirens sounded in Israel nor did the mobile phone app warn of the launch and the military said that alert levels in the area remain “normal.”

Over the past several years, there have been a handful of rocket attacks emanating from Lebanon into Israel. Most of these attacks have been blamed on Palestinian Hamassholes in Lebanon, as opposed to Hezbollah terrorists.

Yet it unlikely that terrorists in southern Lebanon would fire rockets at Israel without the approval of the Iran-backed militia, as they have a tight grip over that area.

This latest incident during the Ramadan Bombathon comes during increasing tensions over Al-Aqsa mosque clashes on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as renewed and indiscriminate rocket attacks are coming from Gaza into Israel.

Hamassholes and other Gaza-based terror groups have repeatedly invoked the Temple Mount, a Jewish holy site, as a red line. Police actions to quell riots there last year were among the triggers of an 11-day war in Gaza last May.

Ginormous Chinese rocket crashes back to Earth

An enormous Chinese rocket with a length of about 100 feet came plunging back into the atmosphere on Monday. It was the largest piece of crap to crash back down to Terra Firma in decades, and that may be due to the fact that it was made in China.

Forbes reported that the 5B rocket was launched May 5. It carried a prototype of a newly-designed crew capsule.  After about a week in orbit, the core stage of the rocket re-entered the atmosphere at around 11 a.m., honking along at thousands of miles per hour.

“It is the most massive object to make an uncontrolled reentry since the 39-tonne Salyut-7 in 1991,” tweeted Jonathan McDowell, a Harvard astrophysicist who tracks objects in orbit and puts his pants on one leg at a time.

A piece of the spacecraft measuring about the size of a small school bus splashed down into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa, according to the US Space Command, which was tracking the re-entry, causing some to believe the gods must be crazy.

Pooped out satellites and used rocket stages often re-enter the earth's atmosphere, but they pale in size compared to this leviathan craft.

Is war in Gaza fast approaching? Strip may be evacuating

Israeli Defense Force (IDF) senior official warned that Israel was at the point of a full-scale military confrontation with Hamas in the Gaza Strip after the Hamasshole terror group launched hundreds of rockets overnight at civilian communities along the Gaza Strip. The IDF believes that the Strip may need to be evacuated to protect non-combatant families and prepare for battle.

The official spoke on condition on anonymity said, 'We have more capabilities in our arsenal. We are ready to continue attacking, attacking and attacking. Our strikes deeply affect Hamas, it would be better off returning to the understandings reached after Operation Protective Edge [in 2014]."

Over 150 rockets and mortar shells were launched at Israeli communities since Wednesday night and continued throughout the night into Thursday. A woman was seriously injured when a projectile hit a home in the Eshkol regional council.

According to IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, no less than seven people were injured in southern Israel by the Gaza rocket attacks. Israel responded by hitting over 140 Hamas targets overnight.

The IDF targeted training compounds, weapons manufacturing facilities and storage warehouses. The IAF [Israeli Air Force] targeted sites from which rockets were launched including a car the IDF said was being used by a cell of terrorists.

Hamas targeted civilian homes and anyone they could kill in Israel.

Only one Hamasshole was killed in the airstrike, but an unconfirmed report claimed he was the relative of a senior Hamas commander.

Hamas claimed a 23-year-old pregnant woman and her infant daughter were killed in an IDF strike, but it turned out to be a lie as a "journalist" posted a phony story and used a fake photo on 
Instagram detailing the "horrible atrocity".

The real irony is how the world expects Israel to be admonished for accidentally killing a civilian, but Hamas gets a free pass for actually targeting civilians and schools.

"We are nearing a confrontation in no small steps," an anonymous IDF senior officer said. "Hamas is making serious mistakes, and we may have to make it clear after four years that this path doesn't yield any results fo it and isn't worth it."

So far no additional units have been called up, but additional forces were deployed to the Gaza area. If war breaks out, the military will evacuate communities in southern Israel.

Most of Hamas' rockets did little more than till the soil. The Iron Dome defense system lets those rockets fall into those open areas and only targets those rockets projected to strike communities. They shot down 25 of those suckers.

Conricus said the system was operating as well as expected but that it isn't perfect. He added that the current round of violence "is definitely not over."

The anonymous official said of the current situation: "We are in the midst of a new round, the end of which I cannot see yet. We struc a range of targets, including tunnel shafts and many military compounds belonging to Hamas. What we wanted to destroy was done very well.

"Meanwhile, there are talks on calming the situation down and reaching an agreement. This morning, I understand, Hamas is distancing itself from an agreement, and nearing a conflict in which it will suffer a hard blow. Its two million hostages will be the ones suffering," he said, referring to those Palestinians who aren't directly involved in the fighting and merely hate Israel.

After the attacks ended, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman met with other senior IDF officers and security services in Tel Aviv to discuss the situation and talk about the next course of action.

Israel's security cabinet was due to hold a special session on Thursday afternoon to talk about the ongoing violence.

Mossad responsible for protecting Israel by killing Syrian weapons-maker

It was evidently the Mossad that was responsible for the assassination of Syrian's top rocket scientist, Aziz Esber according to the far left newspaper the New York Times.

Esber was blown into little bite-size pieces by a car bomb planted by a Mossad agent, so says a "senior official from a Middle Eastern intelligence agency and quoted by the Times' David Halbfinger and Ronen Bergman.

Of course it's possible this so-called 'senior official' from a Middle Eastern intelligence agency was merely trying to implicate those 'pesky Israelis', but it's also probable the official was telling the truth. With Middle Eastern officials, it's hard to tell.

The blowing up of Esber is the fourth assassination undertaking [no pun intended] by Israel against an enemy weapons engineer in a foreign country in the past three years, said the same anonymous official to the Times.

According to the Gray Lady, Esber "was said to have free access to the presidential palace in Damascus and he also collaborated with Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani [the very model of a modern major general], commander of Iran's Quds Force. He also spoke with other jihadi Iranians to start production of precision-guided missiles in Syria by retrofitting heavy Syrian SM600 Tishreen rockets.

Tishreens are said to be capable of hitting Israeli cities from Lebanon and Syria.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [aka: Bibi] has made it clear on many occasions that Israel would not allow Syria to deploy these missiles and would take military action if necessary to defend his country by stopping such activity.

Like nearly all Middle East countries, Syria has made no secret of wanting to kill all the Jews in Israel and then move on into the rest of the world where they dwell.

N. Korea successfully ground tests new rocket engine

Haircut by Anthony of Pyongyang

North Korea had a "successful" ground test of a new rocket engine capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The state media claims the purpose of such a rocket engine is to launch satellites.

Corpulent leader Kim Jong-un asked his country's scientist to prepare a satellite launch ASAP, reported KCNA.

This latest underground test conducted at the start of September,  is believed to be their most powerful thus far.

The US and China have agreed to step-up cooperation at the UN to deal with North's fifth nuclear test. Both nations have begun discussions on a possible UN sanctions resolution in response to the blatant disregard to past agreements against nuclear proliferation and pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Beijing has not responded directly on UN sanctions, however, according to anonymous diplomats, and haven't said whether it will support tougher sanctions against Pyongyang.

Although China is North Korea's main ally and trading partner, they are not happy about its military actions and Butterball Kim's aggressive rhetoric.

It was Lard-Belly Kim Jong-un who supervised the test at Sohae, the country's satellite-launching site. Armed with strong binoculars and a stopwatch Fat Kim began the count: "One, two, three, go!" he said in Korean, following up with a big "Wheee!"

This engine test gives North Korea "sufficient carrier capability for launching various kinds of satellites, including Earth observation satellites at a world level," the report added.

Bulbous Kim, KCNA said, called for more rocket launches in order to turn North Korea into a "possessor of geostationary satellites in a couple of years to come."

The lying North Koreans claim its space program is purely scientific and there are indications that they plan to launch another long-range rocket. But the US, South Korea and China say the North is aiming to develop inter-continental ballistic missiles.

UN Security Council resolutions ban North Korea from performing any nuclear or ballistic missile tests.

And all our president does is make speeches that make Jumbo Kim and Putin laugh.

"You no can escape our rockets, America"

Korean banner reads: "Place Quarter in Slot"

According to claims made by North Korea, it has successfully tested a solid-fuel rocket engine more powerful than a locomotive and able to boost its attack capability against the U.S. and South Korea.

In response to this new possible threat, President Obama called Secretary of State John Kerry and asked if there was any way we could bring illegal North Koreans in through Mexico. The president believes that if we can show the North Koreans how much we embrace multiculturalism, they would be our friends.

North Korea typically uses liquid rocket propellants for their main ballistic missiles that target the South and our bases in the Asia-Pacific region. They also target the west coast of our mainland, but we don't seem to be worried about it or the threat of ISIS, Russia and China.

Before launching, liquid-fuel missiles need to be fueled just before launch, and this takes precious time in military terms. Solid fuel propellants greatly cut that time and can be used to attack us with a flip of the proverbial switch. The missiles are also more portable, making them difficult to locate and blow up.

North Korean Leader for Life Kim Jong Un showed mirth and glee after watching the successful testing of a "large-output solid fuel rocket engine," by a country not known for its rocket scientists.

The first kiss

Kim, standing below his funny hairdo said at the testing: "Wow, that shakes things up a rot." He said that the test will increase their missile capability that will "mercilessly" strike enemies of the state. He was obviously referring to us and the South Koreans.

Whether or not any of this is true cannot be verified because "they say this crap all the time," Hillary Clinton uttered under her breath.

Kim gave Dennis Rodman a sealed message to deliver to President Obama which read: "Be scared, American dog. Be very scared."

President Obama was not available for comment; he was attending an exhibition baseball game and was having fun doing "the wave" with the communist fans and unshackled prisoners of Cuba.

North Korea's tantrum leads to klush

North Korea threw a temper tantrum Thursday by firing several short-range thingamabobs into the sea off its east coast, South Korean officials said. This tantrum comes just hours after the U.N. Security Council approved the toughest sanctions in 20 years against Pyongyang for continuing its nuclear testing and long-range rocket launch.

Dennis Rodman is quite upset over the entire ordeal and told the media that "Kim's a good guy, and guess what, he's not going to do anything bad with rockets and stuff. He's like a brother to me, or something."

Defense spokesman Moon Sang Gyun said the thingamabobs were fired from Wonsan on the east coast, a small town noted for creative misfortune cookies.

Gyun surmised the thingamabobs could be anything from projectiles to missiles to klushes (a high-level projectile made of exotic metals and goes "KLUSH!" when it hits the water.)

The Yonhap news agency's anonymous South Korean source said that eight or nine thingamabobs or klushes flew about 160 miles before landing in the sea with a big klush. The Defense Ministry could not confirm nor deny the report.


North Korea tends to test-fire projectiles and rockets, but they especially test them when they are angered at world condemnation. This latest test can be seen as a symbolic bird-flipping at the U.N.  Security Council.

The latest U.N. sanctions include mandatory inspections of cargo imports and exports with North Korea, in the air, on land and sea. When President Obama was asked by Dennis Rodman "Yo, why don't we do that sanction s**t with Iran?" Mr. Obama just laughed and walked away.
