SOMALI PIRATE Leader Sentenced: Justice for American Hostage

SOMALI PIRATE Leader Sentenced: Justice for American Hostage

Abdi Yusuf Hassan, a naturalized U.S. citizen, was arrested in Minneapolis in 2019 for his role in the 2012 kidnapping of journalist Michael Scott Moore. The Somali pirate gang, led by Hassan, held Moore captive for 977 days in Somalia. Hassan and Somali citizen Mohamed Tahil Mohamed were convicted and sentenced to 30 years each for hostage-taking and terrorism charges.

During Moore’s captivity, he suffered severe abuse including beatings and threats with firearms. His release came after his family paid a $1.6 million ransom in 2014. Prosecutors highlighted Hassan’s significant role as both a leader of the pirates and as Minister of Interior for Galmudug province during the crime.

Hassan exploited his government position to facilitate the criminal activities of the pirate gang from his own home. U.S Attorney Damian Williams emphasized that this case underscores America’s commitment to holding those accountable who harm American citizens abroad. The sentences reflect a strong stance against international hostage-taking crimes involving U.S citizens.

UK STABBING HORROR: Terror Charges Shock Nation

UK STABBING HORROR: Terror Charges Shock Nation

The Merseyside police in England have admitted they are “restricted” from sharing details about the Southport attack in July, which killed three young girls. Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, faces terror-related charges alongside murder and attempted murder charges. Authorities found ricin and al Qaeda training materials at his property.

Rudakubana allegedly carried out a stabbing spree on July 29 during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, killing Alice Dasilva Aguiar, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Bebe King. Despite finding terror-related materials, police have not declared the incident as terrorism due to an undetermined motive.

The Crown Prosecution Service has guided the police on public statements to protect court proceedings’ integrity. This has sparked criticism over perceived secrecy by authorities following the Southport attack north of Liverpool.

Toby Young from the Free Speech Union suggested that withholding information aims to avoid prejudicing Rudakubana’s trial. The motive is expected to be a significant issue during legal proceedings.

NASHVILLE TRAIL Horror: Witness Shares Chilling Encounter With Suspected Killer

NASHVILLE TRAIL Horror: Witness Shares Chilling Encounter With Suspected Killer

A woman who was on the Nashville trail when Alyssa Lokits was tragically killed spoke with Fox News Digital. Shannon Howard, a local resident, recounted her unsettling encounter with the alleged killer, Paul Park. She observed Park lingering and watching police work at the scene after the murder occurred.

Howard typically walks along the Mill Creek Greenway in the evenings but was delayed by 15 minutes on October 14, when Lokits lost her life. That day, she saw Lokits lying on the ground in a fetal position but didn’t realize she had been shot. Chaos ensued as people frantically called 911 for help.

Howard kept her distance from the chaos and eventually returned to her car as darkness fell. Her fiancé, now husband, preferred she avoid being alone on the trail at night for safety reasons.

Brazil environmental disaster victims take case against mining ...

BHP Faces COLOSSAL Lawsuit: Brazil DAM Disaster Victims Demand Justice

Victims of Brazil’s worst environmental disaster are seeking justice in a UK court, nearly nine years after a catastrophic dam failure. The lawsuit targets BHP, demanding $47 billion in damages for the 2015 incident that devastated communities and claimed 19 lives. If successful, this case could lead to the largest environmental payout ever.

BHP owns half of Samarco, the company operating the mine where the tailings dam ruptured, releasing toxic waste into Brazil’s Doce River. The spill was massive enough to fill 13,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. Plaintiffs argue BHP should be held accountable for polluting and damaging local ecosystems and communities.

Attorney Alain Choo Choy insists BHP must pay for its role as a polluter, while BHP’s lawyer Shaheed Fatima argues that the company neither owned nor operated the dam directly. Fatima claims BHP had limited knowledge about the dam’s stability issues at that time.

The disaster severely polluted a river sacred to Indigenous Krenak people and killed tons of freshwater fish over 410 miles. Despite years passing since this tragedy, recovery efforts have yet to restore full ecological balance to affected areas.

Who are Yemen’s Houthi rebels who are attacking Red Sea ships ...

RED SEA Shipping Under Attack: Houthi Rebels Escalate Danger

A series of suspected attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels targeted a ship in the Red Sea on Thursday, authorities report. This incident highlights ongoing threats to maritime traffic in this crucial waterway amid Middle Eastern conflicts. The British military stated that a projectile damaged the vessel but caused no fire or injuries.

At least two more projectiles fell near the ship, which was far from Hodeida, a port controlled by the Houthis. Although the rebels did not immediately claim responsibility, they have previously targeted over 80 merchant vessels since October’s Gaza conflict escalation. These attacks have resulted in seized ships and casualties among sailors.

The Houthis argue their targets are linked to Israel, the U.S., or the U.K., aiming to pressure an end to Israel’s actions against Hamas in Gaza. However, many affected ships have little connection to these nations or conflicts, including some bound for Iran. A U.S.-led coalition has intercepted several missiles and drones intended for Western military vessels as well.

ISRAEL ELIMINATES Hezbollah Leader: Justice for Marine Families

ISRAEL ELIMINATES Hezbollah Leader: Justice for Marine Families

Israel secured justice for American military families by eliminating Ibrahim Aqil, a senior Hezbollah leader involved in the 1983 Beirut bombings. The U.S. had placed a $7 million bounty on Aqil, who commanded Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force.

The Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers faced criticism for their lack of enthusiasm regarding the targeted killings of senior Hezbollah figures. Counter-terrorism experts expressed concern over this perceived indifference.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo praised Israel’s actions, stating, “I’m thankful Israel helped deliver it by taking out one of the world’s most vicious terrorists — Ibrahim Aqil.” Ryan Crocker, a survivor of the embassy bombing, also expressed satisfaction with Aqil’s death.

In July, Israel also assassinated Fuad Shukr, another key figure in the 1983 bombings. These actions send a strong message to Iran and its proxies about accountability for acts of terrorism against Americans.

FARAGE BLASTS ‘TWO-Tier’ Justice System Over Prisoner Release

FARAGE BLASTS ‘TWO-Tier’ Justice System Over Prisoner Release

Nigel Farage faced heckles as he criticized the early release of 1,700 criminals to make room in British prisons. Farage questioned the fairness of releasing serious offenders while targeting social media users. “Does the Prime Minister understand there is a growing feeling of anger in this country that we are living through two-tier policing and a two-tier justice system?” he asked.

New Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer blamed the previous Tory government for breaking the prison system. Starmer stated, “I’m angry to be put in a position of having to release people who should be in prison because the last government broke the prison system.” He defended his decision by highlighting warnings from former officials about overcrowding issues.

Farage has been critical of how the government handled anti-mass migration protests and riots after a mass stabbing at a “Taylor Swift” dance party left three children dead. The unrest led to over 1,280 arrests and 796 charges, including for social media comments, prompting public warnings to "think before you post.

NETANYAHU SLAMS Iran’s

NETANYAHU SLAMS Iran’s "Axis Of Evil" After Deadly Attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Iran’s “axis of evil” following a terrorist attack at the West Bank-Jordan border crossing that killed three Israelis. “It’s a hard day. A despicable terrorist murdered three of our citizens in cold blood at the Allenby Bridge,” Netanyahu stated, extending condolences to the victims’ families.

Netanyahu emphasized that Israel is surrounded by a murderous ideology led by Iran. He noted recent attacks where terrorists killed six hostages and three Israeli police officers, stressing that these killers aim to murder all Israelis indiscriminately.

The Israeli military reported that a gunman approached the Allenby Bridge Crossing from Jordan in a truck and opened fire before being killed in a shootout with Israeli security forces. The victims were identified as Israeli civilians, all men in their 50s, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service.

Jordan is investigating the incident, as reported by its state-run Petra News Agency. Meanwhile, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri celebrated the attack and linked it to Israel’s offensive in Gaza, stating they expect more similar actions.

NETANYAHU VOWS Swift Justice After Hezbollah Attack Kills Children

NETANYAHU VOWS Swift Justice After Hezbollah Attack Kills Children

The Israeli response to Hezbollah’s rocket attack in Lebanon is imminent after the group targeted a children’s soccer field, killing 12 young people. Early Monday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly executed a drone strike in southern Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of two Hezbollah terrorists. The IDF has not commented on the strike.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a three-hour cabinet meeting on Sunday, authorizing him and his defense minister to determine the “manner and timing” of a military response. Danny Danon, Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations, told “Fox and Friends” that Israel’s response will be “swift, harsh and painful,” but clarified there are no intentions for a full war.

Netanyahu visited Majdal Shams on Monday and announced that Israel’s response to the massacre “will come and it will be severe.” He expressed solidarity with the Druze Israeli community, emphasizing their shared grief. U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke with Israeli President Isaac Herzog about the situation on Monday as well.

LABOUR PARTY’S Economic Plan Under Fire: Will It Really Work?

Britain’s new Treasury chief, Rachel Reeves, vows to run the economy with “iron discipline.” She hinted at above-inflation pay raises for public sector workers to end ongoing strikes.

The Labour Party, elected two weeks ago, faces pressure to increase salaries and welfare without raising taxes or public borrowing. Reeves criticized the previous Conservative government for high taxes and debt.

Labour won a landslide victory on promises of economic growth, housebuilding, green energy projects, and improved public services. The electorate seeks relief from high living costs and past economic mismanagement.

Inflation has dropped to 2%, but strikes by hospital doctors strain the National Health Service. Other public-sector workers like nurses and teachers have also demanded higher pay through walkouts over the past year.

TERRORIST ATTACK Foiled: Southern Israel on High Alert

TERRORIST ATTACK Foiled: Southern Israel on High Alert

Security has been tightened in southern Israel since Hamas-led terrorists killed around 20 people on Oct. 7, sparking the Gaza war. On Monday, a suspect arrived at the entrance of Netiv HaAsara and threatened members of the community’s rapid response team with a knife. The team opened fire, stopping the attack.

Israeli Police are investigating the attempted terror attack near the Gaza border. The Israeli military confirmed one person was killed after trying to stab security forces. Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics reported that no one was physically injured, though a 61-year-old woman suffered from shock.

The terrorist was identified as a Canadian citizen who accused the IDF of killing civilians in Gaza. The IDF confirmed that he came from within Israel rather than crossing from Gaza. This incident highlights ongoing tensions and security challenges in the region.

Iran-backed Houthis offer to free Saudis in exchange for Hamas ...

IRANIAN-BACKED Houthis Attack Ship in Gulf of Aden, Injure Mariner

The Iranian-backed Houthis launched two anti-ship cruise missiles, striking the M/V Verbena in the Gulf of Aden off Yemen. The attack set the ship on fire and severely injured one civilian mariner. U.S. Central Command reported that the mariner was flown to another ship for medical treatment by a U.S. helicopter based on the USS Philippine Sea.

The M/V Verbena, a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, and Polish-operated bulk cargo carrier, was en route from Malaysia to Italy carrying wood when it was attacked. Central Command confirmed that the crew is still fighting fires on board. This incident marks another escalation in the Houthis’ campaign amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Earlier reports from British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center and private security firm Ambrey indicated that a vessel had been attacked and caught fire after making a distress call about being struck by a missile. The Houthis typically delay claiming responsibility for such attacks by hours or even days.

This attack follows another incident where Houthis launched a boat-borne bomb against a commercial ship in the Red Sea on Wednesday. The rebels have been targeting shipping throughout this strategic corridor as part of their ongoing conflict with a Saudi-led coalition since seizing Yemen’s capital nearly ten years ago.

CYBER ATTACK Devastates London NHS Hospitals

CYBER ATTACK Devastates London NHS Hospitals

A ransomware attack by the group Qilin has crippled Synnovis, a key pathology lab service provider for several National Health Service hospitals. Ciaran Martin, former chief of the National Cyber Security Centre, called it one of the most serious attacks in the U.K. due to its disabling effect on operations.

The attack affected King’s College and Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospital trusts, impacting multiple hospitals and clinics across south London. A memo to staff labeled it a “critical incident,” noting significant disruptions to services like blood transfusions and leading to canceled or redirected procedures.

Synnovis Chief Executive Mark Dollar stated that they are still trying to understand what happened but offered no further comment. The incident has been reported to police as investigations continue into this severe disruption of healthcare services in London.

Ransomware attacks involve criminals using malware to paralyze computer systems and demanding money for their release. These attacks are highly disruptive and costly, affecting various sectors including healthcare, with most perpetrators operating from former Soviet states beyond Western legal reach.

HEARTBREAKING Gang Attack in Haiti Claims Lives of AMERICAN Missionaries

HEARTBREAKING Gang Attack in Haiti Claims Lives of AMERICAN Missionaries

Two American Christian missionaries, Davy and Natalie Lloyd, were killed by gang violence in Haiti on Thursday. Missouri State Rep. Ben Baker confirmed the tragic news, revealing that his daughter Natalie was among the victims. “My heart is broken in a thousand pieces,” Baker wrote on Facebook.

The couple had been serving with Missions In Haiti, Inc., a nonprofit founded by Davy’s parents, David and Alicia Lloyd. The organization has been active in Haiti since 2000. Davy and Natalie joined the mission after their marriage in June 2022.

According to Missions In Haiti, the attack occurred during a youth group gathering at church. The gang ambushed them with three trucks full of men. “Davy was taken to the house tied up and beat,” stated the nonprofit.

Rep. Baker urged for prayers for both his family and the Lloyd family during this devastating time. He expressed an overwhelming sense of loss and pain over social media, asking for strength from their community of supporters.

JUSTICE At LAST: Architect of Police Officer’S Murder Gets Life Sentence

JUSTICE At LAST: Architect of Police Officer’S Murder Gets Life Sentence

Piran Ditta Khan, aged 75, was handed a life sentence for masterminding the murder of a British police officer during a 2005 heist. He is required to serve at least 40 years. After the crime, Khan escaped to Pakistan but was extradited to the U.K. last year.

During sentencing, Judge Nicholas Hilliard stated that Khan will likely spend the rest of his life in prison given the gravity of his offenses. He noted that Khan had spent many years freely abroad, avoiding capture.

Khan did not directly kill Officer Sharon Beshenivsky but was found guilty as he orchestrated the robbery and provided the weapons used in her murder. The prosecution underscored his central role in this devastating incident in Bradford.

This case has highlighted the risks faced by Britain’s unarmed police force. As justice is served, there is a somber remembrance for Officer Beshenivsky’s family and their profound loss.

HORRIFIC London Sword Attack CLAIMS Young Life

HORRIFIC London Sword Attack CLAIMS Young Life

A 14-year-old boy has tragically died following a sword attack in East London. Chief Superintendent Stuart Bell announced the boy’s death, stating he was stabbed and passed away after urgent hospitalization. The family is currently being supported through this harrowing period.

In addition to the fatal attack on the young boy, two police officers and two civilians were also injured during the incident. Chief Superintendent Bell mentioned that while the officers sustained significant injuries, they were not life-threatening. The other victims are still in serious condition as they receive ongoing medical treatment.

An eyewitness described a disturbing scene where, after the assault, the suspect made a victory gesture by raising his arms, seemingly proud of his actions. This macabre detail highlights the brutality of the event. Authorities have detained a 36-year-old man in connection with this violent act.

Forensic teams are actively investigating at Hainault, near a local tube station where this appalling crime took place. As inquiries proceed, both community members and officials are trying to come to terms with this shocking burst of violence so close to their daily lives.

Bloody Sunday (1905) - Wikipedia

JUSTICE DENIED: No Charges for British Soldiers in Bloody Sunday Case

Fifteen British soldiers linked to the 1972 Bloody Sunday killings in Northern Ireland will not face perjury charges. The Public Prosecution Service cited insufficient evidence for convictions related to their testimony about the events in Derry. Previously, an inquiry had labeled the soldiers’ actions as self-defense against IRA threats.

A more detailed inquiry concluded in 2010 that the soldiers had fired unjustifiably on unarmed civilians and misled investigators for decades. Despite these findings, only one soldier, known as Soldier F, is currently facing prosecution for his actions during the incident.

The decision has sparked outrage among victims’ families, who see it as a denial of justice. John Kelly, whose brother was killed on Bloody Sunday, criticized the lack of accountability and accused the British Army of deceit throughout the Northern Ireland conflict.

The legacy of “the Troubles,” which claimed over 3,600 lives and ended with the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, continues to impact Northern Ireland deeply. The recent prosecutorial decisions underscore ongoing tensions and unresolved grievances from this violent period in history.

ITALY’S Meloni Demands Justice Over Deepfake Porn Scandal

ITALY’S Meloni Demands Justice Over Deepfake Porn Scandal

Giorgia Meloni, the leader of Italy’s Brothers of Italy party, is seeking justice after falling victim to a degrading deepfake pornography scandal. She has demanded €100,000 ($108,250) in damages following the discovery of explicit videos featuring her likeness online.

These disturbing videos were reportedly crafted by a father-son duo from Sassari, Italy back in 2020 before Meloni ascended to the prime minister’s office. The two are now facing serious accusations of defamation and video manipulation — they allegedly replaced the face of a porn actress with that of Meloni and subsequently published this content on an American website.

The offensive material was recently unearthed by Meloni’s team leading to an immediate filing of a complaint. According to Italian law, defamation can be treated as a criminal offense and carries potential sentencing. The Italian Prime Minister is scheduled to testify in court on July 2nd about this shocking incident.

“The compensation I have requested will be donated to charity,” stated Meloni’s attorney as reported by la Repubblica.

War in Europe as Russia Attacks Ukraine Vanity Fair

RUSSIA UNLEASHES Devastating Attack on Ukrainian Energy Sector: The Shocking Aftermath

Russia has initiated a severe attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. This assault led to widespread power outages and claimed the lives of at least three individuals. The offensive, conducted under the cover of night using drones and rockets, targeted numerous power facilities, including Ukraine’s largest hydroelectric plant.

The Dnipro Hydroelectric Station was among those hit during the attacks. This station supplies electricity to Europe’s largest nuclear power plant — the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The main 750-kilovolt line connecting these two vital installations was cut off during the assault, according to International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi. However, a lower-power backup line is currently functioning.

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is under Russian control and has been an ongoing concern due to potential nuclear accidents amid continuous conflict. Despite this alarming situation, Ukraine’s hydroelectric authority assures that there is no immediate threat of dam breach at the Dnipro Hydroelectric Station.

A breach could not only disrupt supplies to the nuclear plant but also potentially trigger severe flooding similar to last year’s incident when a major dam at Kakhovka collapsed. Ivan Fedorov, Zaporizhzhia regional governor reported one death and at least eight injuries resulting from Russia’s aggressive actions.

RUSSIA’S Unprecedented Attack: Ukraine’s Energy Sector Devastated, Widespread Outages Ensue

In a shocking move, Russia launched a colossal strike on Ukraine’s electrical power infrastructure, targeting the country’s most significant hydroelectric plant among others. This assault led to sweeping power outages and claimed at least three lives, as confirmed by officials this Friday.

The Energy Minister of Ukraine, German Galushchenko painted a grim picture of the situation, describing the drone and rocket attacks as “the most severe onslaught on the Ukrainian energy sector in recent history.” He speculated that Russia aimed to inflict substantial disruption to Ukraine’s energy system akin to last year’s events.

The Dnipro Hydroelectric Station — a key electricity supplier to Europe’s largest nuclear power installation — Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was set ablaze due to these attacks. The primary 750-kilovolt power line was severed while a lower-power backup line remains functional. Despite Russian occupation and ongoing skirmishes around the plant, officials assure there is no immediate threat of a nuclear disaster.

Thankfully, the dam at the hydroelectric station held strong against these attacks averting potential catastrophic flooding reminiscent of last year when Kakhovka dam gave way. However, this Russian attack did not pass without human cost — one person lost their life and at least eight suffered injuries.

US NAVY SAVES the Day: Huthi Missile Attack on Oil Tanker Thwarted

US NAVY SAVES the Day: Huthi Missile Attack on Oil Tanker Thwarted

The Huthis, a rebel group based in Yemen, announced that they had targeted a British oil tanker, named the Pollux, in the Red Sea using missiles. The US Central Command (CENTCOM), however, clarified that this vessel is actually Danish-owned and registered in Panama.

CENTCOM confirmed that from areas of Yemen under Huthi control, four anti-ship ballistic missiles were launched. It was reported that at least three of these missiles were directed towards MT Pollux.

In reaction to this looming threat, CENTCOM successfully executed two self-defence strikes against one mobile anti-ship cruise missile and one mobile unmanned surface vessel located in Yemen. This incident happened just as Washington’s reclassification of the Huthis as a terrorist group became official along with related sanctions.

This event underscores the importance of vigilance and quick action in maintaining security on international waters. It also highlights Washington’s commitment to combating terrorism globally.

Is Biden’s DRONE ATTACK Response Just a ‘Checklist’ Strategy? Waltz Slams Administration

Is Biden’s DRONE ATTACK Response Just a ‘Checklist’ Strategy? Waltz Slams Administration

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Rep. Mike Waltz openly criticized the Biden administration’s handling of a recent drone attack in Jordan. This devastating event led to the loss of three American lives and left 25 others injured. Waltz, who holds positions on several House committees and has a background as a Special Forces commander, voiced his concerns about Biden’s strategy.

Waltz accused the administration of prematurely revealing its intended response to Iran, thus eliminating any potential element of surprise. His comments were in reference to Biden’s announcement on Tuesday where he assured that he does not seek a broader conflict in the Middle East. According to Waltz, simply telling Iran “don’t” is not an effective strategy.

The Florida congressman suggested a three-pronged approach: targeting IRGC operatives instead of just proxies, enforcing sanctions to cut off Iran’s funding sources, and supporting Iranian citizens demanding change. He expressed concern that Biden is merely ticking off boxes with ineffective strikes that target warehouses rather than directly punishing the Iranian regime.

Waltz called for a return to Trump’s policy of maximum pressure on Iran’s economy coupled with robust military action. He reminded readers that under President Trump’s leadership, attacks ceased when Iran-backed terrorists dared kill an American.

US Troops UNDER ATTACK: Iran-Backed Militias Blamed for Deadly Drone Strike

A devastating drone attack in Jordan, which tragically claimed the lives of three U.S. service members, has been attributed to the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an organization supported by Iran. The assault also resulted in injuries for at least 40 troops stationed at Tower 22, a covert base vital to American operations in Syria. This alarming incident unfolds as President Joe Biden weighs his retaliatory options.

In a stern warning, Iran vowed to “respond decisively” if the U.S. takes action against Tehran for the attack. John Kirby, spokesman for the National Security Council, confirmed that this premeditated strike was orchestrated by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq and included involvement from militant group Kataib Hezbollah.

Kirby dismissed an announcement from Kataib Hezbollah about halting military operations against occupation forces as untrustworthy. He stressed that they are not alone in launching attacks on U.S forces. Amid this escalating situation, President Biden is set to attend a solemn ceremony honoring fallen troops at Dover Air Force Base this Friday.

Additional American strikes could potentially intensify tensions within an already unstable region struggling with Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza since

CHEMICAL ATTACK Accusations at Columbia: Israeli Soldiers in the Eye of Storm

CHEMICAL ATTACK Accusations at Columbia: Israeli Soldiers in the Eye of Storm

Columbia University finds itself in a storm after two student groups, “Students for Justice in Palestine” and “Jewish Voice for Peace”, levelled accusations against Israeli soldiers. The soldiers, who are also students at the university, were accused of using a “chemical weapon” known as “skunk spray” during a protest. Pending an investigation into these allegations, the accused individuals have been temporarily barred from campus.

The accusing student groups had previously faced suspension by the university due to repeated violations of protest policies. Critics argue that Columbia has not been stringent enough when it comes to enforcing these suspensions. An unnamed student voiced their disappointment to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency saying: “The university is turning a blind eye...it’s just disappointing.”

Despite no arrests being made following a police report on the alleged chemical attack, protests continued on campus. Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David M Friedman expressed his dismay on Twitter: “Permitting a protest right in the middle of your campus advocating for Israel’s destruction by violent revolution? I am sickened by this!”

This incident has ignited heated discussions about balancing free speech rights with safety concerns on college campuses across America.

GAZA CONFLICT Escalates: 21 Israeli Soldiers Dead, Calls for Cease-Fire Intensify

In a devastating turn of events, Palestinian militants in Gaza have orchestrated the deadliest single attack on Israeli forces since the war began. This assault, resulting in the death of 21 soldiers, has amplified calls for an immediate cease-fire.

The Israeli military confirmed that their ground forces have encircled Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest city. Additionally, reports suggest that Israeli tanks and troops have infiltrated Muwasi – an area previously considered safe for Palestinians.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed deep sorrow over the loss of the soldiers but remained resolute in his commitment to achieving “absolute victory.” This includes defeating Hamas and liberating over 100 Israeli hostages held captive by militants. However, these ambitious war objectives are now being scrutinized by Israelis who question their feasibility.

An unidentified senior Egyptian official disclosed that Israel proposed a two-month cease-fire plan. The proposal included freeing hostages in exchange for releasing imprisoned Palestinians and allowing top Hamas leaders in Gaza to relocate. Despite this offer, Hamas remains steadfast in its refusal to release any more hostages until Israel ceases its offensive and withdraws from Gaza.

LEBANON STRIKES: Hezbollah’s Deadly Missile Attack Rattles Israel Amidst Gaza Conflict

A lethal anti-tank missile, launched from Lebanon, claimed the lives of two civilians in northern Israel this past Sunday. This alarming incident has ignited concerns over a potential second front emerging amidst the ongoing clash between Israel and Hamas.

This strike marks a grim milestone — the 100th day of a war that has tragically taken nearly 24,000 Palestinian lives and forced approximately 85% of Gaza’s population from their homes. The conflict was sparked by an unexpected Hamas incursion into southern Israel last October, leading to around 1,200 fatalities and roughly 250 hostages.

The region remains on edge as daily fire exchanges persist between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah group. Meanwhile, Iranian-backed militias target U.S. interests in Syria and Iraq as Yemen’s Houthi rebels threaten international shipping lanes.

Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, remains defiant vowing to persist until a Gaza cease-fire is established. His declaration comes as countless Israelis evacuate northern border regions due to escalating aggression.

POLICE: Arrest made related to Perry High School shooting rumors ...

IOWA SCHOOL Shooting: Innocent Lives Lost in Heart-Wrenching Attack, Community in Shock

A day of learning turned into a nightmare when a 17-year-old student unleashed gunfire at Perry High School in Iowa. The first day back from winter break was marred by the death of a sixth-grader and injuries to five others, including the school’s principal, Dan Marburger. The shooter, Dylan Butler, also died due to what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The tranquil town of Perry, home to approximately 8,000 people and situated about 40 miles northwest of Des Moines, was plunged into turmoil by the shocking incident. Families were reunited at the McCreary Community Building after the shooting that has left this close-knit community devastated.

Authorities disclosed that during his assault Butler was armed with both a pump-action shotgun and a small-caliber handgun. A crude homemade explosive device was also discovered on-site but was safely deactivated by authorities.

This latest episode of gun violence once again puts America’s gun ownership rights under the microscope. As such events persistently occur nationwide, they cast an ever-growing shadow over other fundamental rights.

Tokyo Haneda Airport: Two planes 'likely collided' | CNN

HANEDA HORROR: Five Perish in Explosive Runway Collision Between Passenger Plane and Coast Guard Aircraft

A devastating collision at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on Tuesday has left five dead. A passenger plane and a Japanese coast guard aircraft clashed on the runway, resulting in a fiery explosion that claimed the lives of the smaller aircraft’s crew.

All 379 passengers aboard Japan Airlines flight JAL-516 were able to escape unscathed before fire consumed the plane. The Airbus A350 involved, one of the industry’s most recent large passenger planes, suffered its first serious damage since entering commercial service in 2015.

The coast guard’s Bombardier Dash-8 aircraft was en route to deliver relief goods to earthquake victims in Niigata when it met with this fatal accident.

The disaster unfolded as the JAL plane touched down on one of Haneda’s four runways where the coast guard aircraft was preparing for takeoff. Investigations are underway to uncover what communication failures between aviation control officials and both planes led to this catastrophic event.

UKRAINE’S Crushing Blow: Russian Warship Decimated by Air-Launched Missile Attack

On Christmas Day, Ukraine demonstrated its formidable military might. The country claimed a significant victory, saying it had annihilated another Russian warship, the Ropucha-class Novocherkassk, using an air-launched cruise missile. Russia confirmed the assault on their landing ship from the 1980s, which is comparable in size to the U.S.-made Freedom-class warship. They reported one casualty from this attack.

Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk of the Ukrainian Air Force praised his pilots’ exceptional performance. He observed that Russia’s naval fleet continues to dwindle in size.

Yurii Ihnat, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian armed forces, disclosed further details about this strike. He revealed that fighter jets unleashed a volley of Anglo-French Storm Shadow / SCALP cruise missiles at their target. Their goal was for at least one missile to bypass Russian air defenses successfully. The magnitude of the resulting explosion indicated that onboard ammunition likely detonated.

Ukrainian state media circulated footage allegedly showing a massive explosion and towering fire column following the initial hit — evidence suggesting onboard ammunition

Joe Biden: The President | The White House

US-Israeli Citizen’s TRAGIC Death: BIDEN’S Heartfelt Response to Hamas Attack

On Friday, President Joe Biden extended his condolences following the death of Gad Haggai, a dual US-Israeli citizen. It is believed that Haggai fell victim to Hamas during their initial terrorist attack on October 7.

Biden expressed deep sadness over the incident, stating, “Jill and I are heartbroken... We continue to pray for the well-being and safe return of his wife, Judy.” He further revealed that the couple’s daughter was part of a recent conference call with families of hostages.

Referring to their experiences as a “harrowing ordeal”, Biden reassured these families and other loved ones. He pledged that efforts to rescue those still held hostage would persist. This story is still unfolding.

AMERICAN Hostages TRAPPED: 71 Days into Hamas’s Horrific Attack on Israel

AMERICAN Hostages TRAPPED: 71 Days into Hamas’s Horrific Attack on Israel

It’s now been 71 days since the devastating attack by Hamas on Israel. This brutal onslaught led to an immediate death toll of around 1,200 and roughly 240 abductions. Among those still unaccounted for are eight Americans, believed to be held captive by the terrorist group since the early October incident.

Among the missing are Judith Weinstein and Gad Haggai, a senior couple from Kibbutz Nir Oz near Gaza. They were enjoying a peaceful morning walk when disaster struck on October 7th. Their daughter, Iris Weinstein Haggai has shared her painful experience since her parents vanished without a trace.

Weinstein Haggai is relentlessly coordinating with various governments in an effort to secure the release of the hostages. She describes her situation as having a “split heart,” struggling to maintain normalcy for her children while grappling with anxiety over her parents’ unknown fate.

Why Biden is keeping Trump's China tariffs in place | CNN Politics

US-CHINA Economic Reset PROPOSED: Will Higher Tariffs Be the New Norm?

A bipartisan committee in the House has put forth a proposal for a complete overhaul of US economic ties with China. This includes the suggestion of implementing higher tariffs. The pivotal recommendations were released in an extensive report by the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and Chinese Communist Party, chaired by Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL).

The report posits that since its induction into the World Trade Organization in 2001, Beijing has been engaged in an economic conflict against both the US and its allies. It outlines three key strategies: revamping America’s economic relationship with China, limiting U.S. capital and technological inflow into China, and strengthening U.S. economic resilience with allied support.

One notable recommendation is to shift China to a new tariff column to enforce more robust tariffs.

This move aims to prevent Chinese domination in this sector from granting Beijing undue control over global economy.

USS MASON Bravely Defends Against Pirate Attack and Dodges Yemeni Missiles: A New Threat on the Horizon?

USS MASON Bravely Defends Against Pirate Attack and Dodges Yemeni Missiles: A New Threat on the Horizon?

In a daring act of valor, the USS Mason responded to a distress call from commercial vessel M/V Central Park. The Mason successfully defended against an attack by five armed pirates. After attempting to flee, the pirates were pursued and apprehended by the Mason’s crew. The Pentagon has suggested that these pirates are likely of Somali origin, not Houthi.

As the rescue operation was winding down, two ballistic missiles were launched from areas in Yemen under Houthi control. These missiles landed approximately 10 nautical miles away from both the USS Mason and M/V Central Park. Fortunately, no damage or injuries have been reported.

This missile attack could signify an escalation of aggression by Iran-backed forces towards U.S. assets in this region. While there has been a recent increase in drone and missile attacks on U.S bases and troops stationed in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed groups, this marks a new development with ballistic missiles being directed at U.S ships.

UNSPOKEN HORROR: Sudan’s Silent Genocide Ignored Despite Massive Displacement and Death Toll

UNSPOKEN HORROR: Sudan’s Silent Genocide Ignored Despite Massive Displacement and Death Toll

A shocking 5.6 million people have been forced from their homes in Sudan, with a death toll reaching an estimated 9,000. This crisis has been unfolding since the start of the year, according to United Nations reports. The situation worsens each day as ethnic attacks and sexual violence against women and children escalate. Yet, global media largely overlooks Sudan’s war.

Richard Goldberg of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told Fox News Digital about an Arab paramilitary group committing genocide in Sudan. They are systematically killing minorities on a massive scale. Relief agencies are fighting this crisis but struggle to draw worldwide attention or secure necessary funding. Despite the challenges, The World Food Program (WFP) has succeeded in delivering food to over 3 million people in Sudan.

The WFP spokesperson voiced concern over their stretched resources saying, “Our humanitarian dollar is being stretched to the breaking point.” In contrast to large-scale protests seen across Europe and parts of the U.S over international conflicts like Gaza, only around 600 people have reportedly protested against these atrocities despite more than 6 million being displaced due to this conflict.

IRAN’S Death March: Over 100 Lives Silenced Since Hamas Attack

IRAN’S Death March: Over 100 Lives Silenced Since Hamas Attack

Since the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, Iran has silenced over a hundred lives, drawing global scrutiny. This alarming surge in executions, referred to as Tehran’s “execution spree,” was spotlighted by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on November 15, 2023.

The NCRI revealed this disturbing trend while the United Nations General Assembly’s Third Committee was contemplating a resolution to condemn Iran’s human rights abuses. Despite numerous UN rebukes for their “systematic and widespread violation of human rights,” the Iranian regime remains undeterred in its brutal execution campaign.

The council implored the international community to isolate Iran as a response to these heinous actions. The NCRI denounced any form of appeasement with Iran, notorious for its record-breaking executions and warmongering activities. They argued that such tolerance clearly contradicts international human rights standards.

Independent news outlet Al-Monitor reported that since October 7, Iran has executed 114 people for “fabricated crimes,” including vague charges like “corruption on Earth” and “enmity against God.” While the NCRI estimates slightly fewer executions at around 107 so far, they anticipate this number will continue to escalate in the coming days and weeks. This grim situation emphasizes an urgent call-to-action against Iran’s ongoing human rights

GAZA’S HOSPITAL Horror: Israel Reveals Shocking Hamas Hideouts

Israeli military officials have leveled grave accusations against Hamas, alleging the group uses Shifa Hospital in Gaza City as a cover for its terrorist operations. The spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, asserts that Hamas operates from several underground complexes beneath the hospital to orchestrate attacks on Israel.

Hagari suggests that Hamas is manipulating humanitarian issues in Gaza to their advantage. The IDF has released aerial images which they claim identify different sections of the hospital and pinpoint locations of Hamas’s underground bases. These pictures allegedly reveal how command posts and tunnel entrances are hidden within the hospital by Hamas.

Israel maintains it has solid proof that hundreds of terrorists sought refuge in the hospital after a brutal attack on Oct. 7, which resulted in approximately 1,400 deaths in southern Israel at the hands of Hamas terrorists. A majority of those killed were civilians, including many women and children.

Hamas reportedly builds tunnels under populated areas in Gaza to move without fear of Israeli airstrikes and to conceal their weapons stockpiles. This strategy also aims to increase civilian casualties during Israel’s counter-terrorism operations, further inciting international condemnation.

FINAL FAREWELL: French-Israeli Woman’s Joyful Dance at Festival Turns into Horrific Terror Attack

Karin Journo, a 24-year-old French-Israeli airport worker, had initially planned to skip the Tribe of Nova music festival due to a broken leg. But when she learned her friends were going to celebrate a farewell party for one of them moving stateside, she couldn’t resist joining in.

Despite her injury and protective boot, Journo was captured on video dancing with joy at the festival. The mood shifted dramatically as Hamas militants launched their deadly assault on the festival grounds. Subsequent footage revealed a worried Journo seeking shelter behind a vehicle.

GAZA Hospital HORROR: Biden Stands With Israel Amid Rising Tensions

In the aftermath of a catastrophic explosion in Gaza City, doctors find themselves performing surgeries on hospital floors. This dire scenario is due to an acute lack of medical supplies. The Israeli military and the Hamas militant group are locked in a blame game for this incident, which has reportedly claimed at least 500 lives according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry.

U.S. President Joe Biden landed in Israel as tensions continue to escalate. His mission is to stem the tide of conflict that erupted after Hamas militants launched attacks on southern Israeli towns on October 7. Upon setting foot in Israel, Biden publicly sided with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asserting that based on his assessment, Israel did not trigger the recent explosion.

Palestinian rocket assaults resumed just before Biden’s arrival following a temporary lull. Despite designating certain areas as “safe zones”, Israeli strikes continued into Wednesday against south Gaza.

During his visit, President Biden intends to meet with first responders and families impacted by the Hamas attack. The situation remains tense as both factions maintain their aggressive actions.

BRUTAL HAMAS Attack on Israeli Music Festival: An Unprecedented Horror Revealed

This past weekend, the Supernova music festival in southern Israel fell victim to a savage attack by Hamas militants. This brutal assault marked one of the first targets and resulted in widespread devastation across several towns. The attack led to at least 260 deaths, making it one of the most deadly civilian incidents in Israel’s history.

ABC News collected accounts from survivors and relatives of the missing to reconstruct this chilling event. They scrutinized and authenticated witness videos as well as security footage. Numerous festival attendees also contributed their experiences and original cell phone videos.

One witness reported close-range fire from Hamas militants while fleeing via the main road north—a claim backed up by images of their bullet-riddled vehicle.

ABC News has confirmed video evidence that emphasizes the intentional nature of this attack on Supernova. This episode marks a bleak moment in Israel’s history, spotlighting an escalating conflict with potentially wide-ranging implications.

REVEALED: Hamas SHOCKING Deception — Secret Attack Plans on Israel While ‘Governing’ Gaza

REVEALED: Hamas SHOCKING Deception — Secret Attack Plans on Israel While ‘Governing’ Gaza

In a recent Russian TV interview, senior Hamas official, Ali Baraka, dropped a bombshell. He revealed that while the group projected an image of governance and concern for the welfare of 2.5 million Palestinians in Gaza, they were secretly planning attacks on Israel for years.

Baraka confirmed their deceptive tactics. While appearing to be engrossed in governance, they were covertly preparing for a large-scale assault. He boasted that their rockets could target all parts of Palestine and even bragged about bombing Tel Aviv on the first day of their attack.

This startling admission has put Israeli intelligence under intense scrutiny for failing to foresee this surprise attack. Baraka’s statements have exposed Hamas’ duplicitous strategies and underscored their readiness to sacrifice themselves in what they believe is a defense of their land.

NETANYAHU WARNS Iran: "Big Mistake" Will Have Consequences

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Iran made a “big mistake” and will face consequences for its actions. This follows a series of missile attacks by Iran on Israeli targets, marking significant military confrontations between the two nations. Netanyahu delivered this warning during a news conference in Jerusalem, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to defending itself and retaliating against Iranian aggression.

The Iranian offensive involved over 300 airborne weapons, including missiles and drones, aimed at various locations within Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), with help from U.S. and allied forces, neutralized many of the attacks before they could cause massive destruction. Despite these defensive successes, the assaults have heightened military alertness within Israel and raised fears of further escalations in the region.

Netanyahu’s stern message underscores Israel’s readiness to escalate its military response if necessary. “Iran’s actions have crossed a red line, and they will pay a heavy price,” he asserted. This statement aims to deter Iran and its proxy groups from future attempts to target Israel while garnering international support for Israel’s right to defend itself.

As tensions rise, uncertainty looms over the Middle East with potential for broader conflict increasing daily. Ongoing military actions have drawn in global powers, making resolution an international concern. The coming days are critical in determining whether diplomacy can prevail or if further
