Israeli news sources say people in northern Israel are reporting the sounds of explosions. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are investigating.
“Certainly, freedom of Haifa and Tel Aviv is much easier for us than the 33-day and 22-day wars….The Zionist army….is much weaker in defense than offence; the Zionist army has so far failed 4 times in its invasions, and it will certainly have more humiliating defeats and failures in defense…..Martyrdom of Allahdadi meant an order to set the holy Quds [Jerusalem] free and a permission for giving a proper response to the Zionist regime. His martyrdom again proved that the Takfiris are the military wing of the Zionist regime and displayed the U.S. asymmetric warfare against the Islamic Ummah.”-Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, Iran’s Basij (volunteer) Force
In Gaza (Palestine), Hamas has revealed it has conducted a one week crash course training up 17-thousand males between the ages of 16 and 21: “The training course focused on preparing the teenagers and the young men on how to defend themselves and their people and to be the future soldiers who will fight for Jerusalem, the refugees, the prisoners and the West Bank.”-Khalil al-Hayya
Al-Waqt news reports that Islamic State is getting high tech weapons made only in United States, their latest shipment was the biggest yet: “These weapons were given to the ISIL inside Syria and only kilometers away from the Turkish border.”-unnamed source quoted by Al-Waqt
In Pakistan, a captured Islamic State recruiter told police he was being paid with money routed through the United States. He was getting $600 USD for every Pakistani that he recruited to go fight against the government of Syria.
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee has approved new sanctions against Iran, despite that fact that nuclear power negotiations are still ongoing: “The timing may be an issue, but I think, if the essence of the legislation is brought up at the right time, it would have broad bipartisan support, which I think is essential at the end of the day to send the world and to send Iran the messages that we have sent in the past so that as they calibrate their decision making they understand that we are very closely unified in our goal.”-Robert Menendez
“I believe that the other side should understand this reality that if it wants to reach an agreement with Iran, it won’t be possible through keeping pressure, as Iranians don’t strike agreements under pressure!”-Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iranian Foreign Minister
Lebanon’s Hezbollah Mujahideen say yesterday’s attack on an IDF convoy in Syrian territory killed 15 IDF soldiers. The IDF says four of the wounded have been released from the hospital.
The IDF discharged 43 male and female reservists for refusing to serve. In Israel military service is mandatory. There are some exceptions like being a pacifist, but these reservists aren’t pacifists they actually accuse their government of being a terrorist organization! The reservists sent the Israeli government a letter, which was made public in September 2014, stating that Israeli actions against Palestinians are basically war crimes.
The full of shit, I mean Fair and Balanced Fox News reported that Iran was publishing assassination plots against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Fox News says the plots were published by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) and Fars News Agency. I checked Fars and found no such publication. I have yet to find it on the IRGC website basirat.ir.
Israeli news source Haaretz revealed the possible real reason for the sudden racketing up of Israeli war mongering: In November 2013, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed a secrecy order banning the publication of the results of oil arbitration between Israel and the National Iranian Oil Company.
