IDF strikes Assad's strategic weapons depots to keep the rebels from capturing them

The IDF launched dozens of strikes across Syria on Sunday, using intelligence from the Military Intelligence Directorate, the Mossad, and Air Force Intelligence after the collapse of the Assad regime.

The IDF stated they were aiming to decrease the large stockpiles of ammunition held by the Syrian military.

This was one of the most significant days for the IAF since the war began.

According to foreign sources, the IAF conducted over a hundred attack sorties in Syria, hitting hundreds of targets in what were once the Syrian army's weapons depots. The operations were directed from the air force's bunker by Air Force Commander Maj.-Gen. Tomer Bar.

According to Syrian media, the Air Force first targeted the anti-aircraft batteries abandoned by Assad's forces, who were retreating from the rebels. The Air Force aimed to eliminate any threats to their aircraft right from the start of the operation, quickly gaining total control of the skies over Syria.

Their mission was to strike weapons depots that housed surface-to-surface missiles, anti-tank missiles, tanks, heavy artillery, and other significant weapon stores.

Israel is concerned that these weapons could fall into the hands of groups affiliated with ISIS or Hezbollah.

The Air Force also hit border crossings between Syria and Lebanon after spotting movements from Syria into Lebanon.

Simultaneously, according to reports from Lebanon and Syria, the air force attacked a convoy of about one hundred vehicles, some armored, moving from Syria into Lebanon. These reports suggest it was a convoy of Hezbollah forces retreating from Al Qusayr in Syria's Shiite region back to Lebanon after Homs and other local towns were taken by rebels.

It was also reported that Israel bombed the scientific research center in Damascus, known for developing chemical weapons and ballistic missiles.

Later in the day, Syria reported, "Israel carried out two attacks on the military airports in Al-Maza and Khalahla."

It seems "strategic" weapons were destroyed to prevent them from being captured by rebels. The Russian Sputnik news agency reported that "the Israeli air force attacked all military airports in Damascus and its suburbs and in the southern region."

Two hours later, Syrian reports mentioned another wave of Israeli attacks on Damascus. Reuters noted, "Israel bombed the scientific research center in Damascus where chemical weapons and ballistic missile programs are managed."

BLM leaders call for violence following Daniel Penny verdict

The New York subway hero who is white, went on trial for intervening to protect passengers on the city's F train [that I have taken literally hundreds of times] when a man, who is black, threatened to kill people on board the train. Daniel Penny, a former Marine put Jordan Neely in a headlock with help from several black passengers, and sadly Neely died. "I'm gonna kill a mother-effer today, and I don't care if I go to jail," Neely yelled when Penny stepped in.

Neely had 42 previous arrests in 7 years. His family was not involved in his life and he was homeless, but his father is hoping to cash in on his estranged son's death. 

What a dad.

Now the Daniel Penny verdict has been met with threats by at least one livid high-profile activist hoping he would be convicted of killing Jordan Neely, who was threatening people on a New York City subway train last year.

After Penny was found not guilty of the criminally negligent homicide of Neely, the founder of Black Lives Matter (BLM) of Greater New York, Hawk Newsome, called on black people to attack white people in the city--exactly the same thing that Neely was threatening to do when Penny stepped in to stop him.

“We need some black vigilantes,” Newsome said during a press conference. “People wanna jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud? How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us.”

The trial has also provided an excuse for vandalism.

Last week, law enforcement said that nine suspects who boarded the northbound F train at the Neptune Avenue station around 4:24 a.m. allegedly plastered the interior of the car with messages that said: “A man was lynched here,” according to AMNY. The statements are believed to be a reference to Neely, who died after Penny subdued him in a chokehold to keep him from hurting other passengers.

Despite Neely's official cause of death of asphyxiation, forensic pathologist Dr. Satish Chundru testified for the defense that Penny’s chokehold did not result in Neely’s death.

Chundru testified that Neely’s death was the result of “the combined effects of sickle cell crisis, the schizophrenia, the struggle and restraint, and the synthetic marijuana,” Fox News reported. 

He explained that a person high on synthetic marijuana with schizophrenia can die while involved in a struggle, even without a chokehold being used. Dr. Chundru added that even if Neely hadn’t had those other health factors, he still would not have died from Penny’s chokehold.

Chundru stated that he did not consider the chokehold as the cause of death because there were other factors involved. He also noted inconsistencies in Neely's medical records. Specifically, he mentioned that the records showed inconsistent bruising on Neely's neck and described the presence of "almost negligible" tiny bleeding spots on his eyelids. Chundru concluded that these inconsistencies did not match what would be expected from a fatal chokehold, according to a report by the New York Post at the time.

Jurors spent most of last week deliberating whether Penny was responsible for "recklessly" causing the death of Neely as part of a charge of manslaughter in the second degree. On Friday, they informed Judge Maxwell Wiley that they could not reach a unanimous decision on that count of the indictment, leading Wiley to permit Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran to drop the charge. This allowed the jury to consider the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide.

When the jury reconvened on Monday to deliberate on this lesser charge, it took them less than an hour to find Penny not guilty.

Insofar as Hawk Newsome's call for violence against white people, that is not protected by the First Amendment and he needs to be held accountable for his rhetoric.

BREAKING: Nabbed! CEO murder suspect caught in Altoona, PA

The man who is suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been captured in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The suspect is identified as Luigi Mangione and he was found with a 'ghost gun' on his person when captured. Apparently, he was identified by a McDonald's restaurant staff member who, if Mangione is successfully prosecuted, stands to make $50,000 and an additional $10,000 in reward money.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams held a presser Monday and said the suspect that “He matches the description of the identification we've been looking for” and that he is “in possession of several items that we believe will connect him to this incident.”

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, "The suspect was in a McDonalds and was recognized by an employee who then called local police.

"Responding officers questioned the suspect, who was acting suspiciously and was carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, as well as a U.S. passport. Upon further investigation, officers recovered a firearm on his person as well as a suppressor, both consistent with the weapon used in the murder," Tisch added.

"They also recovered clothing, including a mask consistent with those worn by our wanted individual. Also recovered was a fraudulent new Jersey ID matching the ID our suspect used to check into his New York City hostel before the shooting incident," she said. "Additionally, officers recovered a handwritten document that speaks to both his motivation and mindset."

This is a developing incident.

US strikes ISIS camps and scumcrumpets in Syria: guess who isn't dead

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) executed numerous airstrikes on Sunday targeting known ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria. The objective was to thwart the terrorist organization from capitalizing on the collapse of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad’s regime and kill as many scumcrumpet terrorists as possible.

After Assad's family had governed Syria for over half a century, Assad was compelled to flee like a coward to Russia, where he was granted asylum. [Brain Flushings had previously posted about the possibility that Assad's plane may have been shot down, but this was an unfounded rumor and has now been proven to be false.] 

Once Assad made book to Russia, a major offensive by a coalition of predominantly radical Islamist groups that captured Syria's capital city followed.

CENTCOM announced on Sunday that it had launched strikes against ISIS leaders, operatives, and encampments as part of an ongoing effort to "disrupt, degrade and defeat ISIS."

CENTCOM specifically aimed at stopping ISIS from conducting operations and to ensure the group doesn't use the current instability to rebuild its presence in central Syria, which would be a threat to the region and especially to Israel.

In this operation, CENTCOM forces targeted more than 75 sites, utilizing U.S. Air Force assets such as B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s.

CENTCOM is currently assessing the damage from these strikes and has reported no indications of civilian casualties.

Furthermore, CENTCOM stated that, in collaboration with regional allies and partners, it will persist in operations aimed at diminishing ISIS's operational capabilities during this "dynamic period in Syria."

"There should be no doubt - we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria," General Michael Erik Kurilla said. "All organizations in Syria should know that we will hold them accountable if they partner with or support ISIS in any way."

So who is calling the shots for the US? It's obvious our alleged President and Vice President certainly are not behind our response.

IDF terminates the employment of Hamas commander behind 10/7 massacre in Kibbutz Nahal Oz

On Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that Israeli fighter jets had successfully targeted and blew away several key Hamassholes during the week. Among those receiving their virgins were Majdi Aqilan, the deputy commander of the Hamas Shati Battalion. He had a pivotal role in the bloodthirsty massacre on Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7 last year.

Also in line to get their virgin goats was Ahmad Suwaidan, a company commander within Hamas. This scumcrumpet was directly linked to the abduction of Israeli civilians during the same October 7 attack.

Kibbutz Nahal Oz, located near the Gaza border, suffered significantly during the Hamas-led incursion into southern Israel. The attack on this small agricultural community and its nearby military base led to the tragic loss of over 60 Israeli soldiers and 15 civilians. 

Moreover, several soldiers and eight civilians were kidnapped and taken into Gaza. Of the total 250 hostages taken by the terrorists, many have been murdered and today we believe that 101 remain in captivity. 

Whether they remain alive is unknown.

Concurrently, Palestinian sources said that on Friday Israeli tanks had encircled Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya, in northern Gaza. According to these accounts, Israeli forces infiltrated the hospital, evacuated medical staff and patients, and detained numerous individuals. The IDF has yet to provide an official statement regarding these claims.

IDF assisting UN forces in "repelling attack" in Syria

On Saturday, the Israeli army announced that its troops were helping UN peacekeepers in the Golan Heights to fend off an attack "by armed individuals," making the notion that war creates strange bedfellows very meaningful.

 Meanwhile, Israel's Foreign Minister stated that "armed forces" had entered the UN-patrolled buffer zone.

The UN force, UNDOF, reported that its personnel had seen "unidentified armed individuals in the area of separation, including approximately 20 who went into one of the mission's positions in the northern part of the area of separation," according to a UN Peacekeeping spokesperson who spoke to AFP.

"The inviolability of UN premises must be respected at all times," the spokesperson said.

In its statement, the IDF described the incident, saying, "an attack was carried out by armed individuals at a UN post in the Hader area in Syria," which is near the buffer zone.

"The (Israeli Army) is currently assisting the UN forces in repelling the attack."

Late on Saturday, Foreign Minister Gideon Saar posted on X: "During the last day, armed forces entered the buffer zone on the Syrian side of the border with Israel. Among other things, attacks were carried out on the (peacekeepers) in the area."

Saar expressed concern about the violations of the 1974 armistice agreement with Syria, stating, "Israel does not intervene in the internal conflict in Syria."

Earlier that day, Syrian rebels had captured the provincial capital of Quneitra, which is about 8 miles (12 kilometers) south of Hader, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights based in Britain.

The Syrian civil war, which had been at a standstill, saw significant rebel advances late last month, with numerous major cities being taken over.

The Israeli military also noted that its army chief, Herzi Halevi, visited the Syrian border that day. He reiterated Israel's non-intervention policy in Syria, saying, "Israel's primary focus is on observing Iran's movements and interests" while also focusing on Syrian factions to "ensure they do not mistakenly direct their actions towards us."

The military did not provide Brain Flushings nor the legacy media with any updates regarding whether the attack was still happening later in the evening.

Israel took control of most of the Golan Heights during the Six-Day War in 1967 and later annexed it, a move which has not been recognized by the international community.

UNDOF has been overseeing the buffer zone between the territories controlled by Israel and Syria since 1974.

In a notable past incident in August 2014, Islamist rebels attacked UNDOF, capturing over 40 Fijian peacekeepers and holding them hostage for nearly two weeks.

Bashar Assad cuts and runs into exile as the other Islamists conquer Syria

Syrian dictator Bashar Assad is on the run as Islamist rebels have stormed the capital city of Damascus.

One rumor has it that Assad "got out of Dodge" on an airline that made a U-turn in flight but had since disappeared from radar. Again, this is a rumor and it's early in the siege so take it with a grain of kosher salt. It is possible his plane was shot down but that is not substantiated.

Assad is best known for killing his own people to the tune of about 300,000 civilians by the use of chemical weapons, it is widely believed and had been reported by organizations such as the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). Such chemicals in the approximate 300 chemical attacks include sarin and chlorine gas against his own civilian population.

So if his plane was shot down, the world has become a better place.

Syria has been tied up in a bloody, 13-year civil war by Islamist rebels who looked to overthrow the Assad dynasty. The apparent collapse of more than 50 years of Assad family rule over the Syrian Arabian Republic would be an incredible turn of events in the Middle East power.

A coalition dominated by radical Islamist factions managed to overthrow Assad's regime, which was supported by Iran. The terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), previously linked to Al-Qaeda and now part of the rebel forces, was pivotal in removing Assad from power. Assad took over the presidency in 2000 after his father, Hafez Assad, passed away.

Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the head of HTS, who has a $10 million bounty placed by the U.S., is attempting to soften the image of the radical Islamism that characterized his combat against American forces in both Syria and Iraq. Al-Golani was once detained by the U.S. military in the early 2000s.

Experts on Syria have informed Fox News Digital that HTS is intent on establishing a totalitarian Islamist state. Phillip Smyth, an authority on Iranian proxy groups and Syria associated with the Atlantic Council, noted to Fox News Digital, "HTS is a group that is an outgrowth of Al-Qaeda and has connections to Turkey. Their endgame is to create a Talibanesque society with a few tweaks."

Assad's choice in 2011 to violently suppress pro-democracy activists during the Arab Spring, which also swept across Egypt and Tunisia, triggered a prolonged civil war. His strategy of using extreme force against his own people led to the deaths of more than 500,000 individuals. Recently, the UN has ceased updating the casualty figures, acknowledging the overwhelming nature of the conflict.

Anyway, it looks like there's going to be a new Islamist regime in Syria and it's anyone's guess what problems they will bring.

Reuters screwed up: accidentally outed fake Gaza "famine" claims

The Reuters "special investigation" published this week looked into how the world tries to prevent famine, but it ended up revealing more than just the problems with the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) system.

While the article tried to show that the IPC isn't to blame for not stopping hunger, it accidentally pointed out big flaws in how we measure famines, especially in Gaza.

The piece talked about different famines around the world, including one supposedly in Gaza, where the IPC had warned of an "imminent famine" in the north. That famine never actually happened, and HonestReporting had already shown how the IPC backed off from their initial warning.

Reuters suggests that this wrong prediction wasn't because of bad data or overblown statements but rather because of Israel. They blame "Israeli bombing and restrictions on movement" for making it hard to gather info on malnutrition and deaths not caused by violence, but they leave out some important details.

For instance, Israel has allowed nearly half a million aid trucks into Gaza since the war began, which Reuters doesn't mention. Also, there's no talk about how Hamas has been known to steal and hoard aid.

Actually, the term "Hamas" only shows up twice in the entire 4,000-word article, and both times it's just in photo captions about the "Israel-Hamas war."

🧵 @Reuters’ “special investigation” accidentally exposes more than it intended about the so-called famine in Gaza. Spoiler: There isn’t one. https://t.co/NmFd7oHVBd

— HonestReporting (@HonestReporting)

Reuters acknowledges that the IPC’s data collection in Gaza is flawed, as the organization cannot use its “preferred methods” for assessing malnutrition, allegedly due to Israel’s destruction of hospitals and clinics. This apparently includes the obliteration of all of Gaza’s scales and height boards — tools it says are critical for measuring famine.

They never mention that Hamas turned hospitals into command centers and weapons storage depots.

Humanitarian groups have reportedly trained health workers to measure children's upper arms, and this is the data used to claim there's a famine.

However, the IPC won't say who trained these workers or even who the workers are, claiming they "could be targeted by Israel."

Yes, Reuters genuinely suggests that the IDF might hunt down health workers just for reporting a famine. If this sounds like a conspiracy, that's because it is.

A more believable reason for all this secrecy might be that naming names could show that these "health workers" are also Hamas operatives.

What's even more confusing is that, despite these supposed safety worries, the IPC didn't work with Israeli officials — which they've done with other governments in similar situations. Reuters tries to explain this by saying the IPC thought Israel didn't want aid to reach the starving Palestinians.

The reality? Half a million aid trucks have made it into Gaza — even while Hamas keeps Israeli civilians as hostages.

This is the story Reuters doesn't want to tell. Instead, they go out of their way to explain why Gaza's "imminent famine" is always just about to happen but never actually does.
