The occupation of Minneapolis is an outrageous, criminal assault on an American city. @ryanlcooper.com goes through the origins of this in the mendacious hyping of unproven day care fraud, which immigration authorities don't police.

⭕️ BREAKING: At least three Palestinians have been killed after part of a destroyed hall and another structure collapsed on displaced people sheltering inside, amid a severe storm and winds in Gaza. Another young man was seriously injured when his tent was blown off a four-story roof. Meanwhile, new Israeli airstrikes and demolitions continued, even as the storm worsens. Al Araby journalist @islambader_1988 writes: “A million and a quarter Gazans have been living for hours in a nightmare called the "atmospheric depression" that visits them at least once a week or every two weeks... with its winds that uproot the tents... and its rains that drown them and its cold that ravages their bones. “ Read his full report below. ⬇️ Quote Islam bader @islambader_1988 See new posts Conversation Islam bader @islambader_1988 Translated from Arabic A million and a quarter Gazans have been living for hours in a nightmare called the "atmospheric depression" that visits them at least once a week or every two weeks .. with its winds that uproot the tents .. and its rains that drown them and its cold that ravages their bones ..

🟢 Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned Israel on Monday for arresting the wife of slain Palestinian resistance leader Yahya Ayyash and for the continued detention of Palestinian women. Ayyash was the chief bombmaker of Hamas and a leader in the West Bank battalion of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, earning the nickname “the Engineer.” He was assassinated by Israel’s Shin Bet on January 5, 1996. The head of Hamas in the West Bank, Zaher Jabarin, said that “the criminal Zionist enemy army’s boasting about arresting the wife of the martyr leader Engineer Yahya Ayyash, and continuing to detain Palestinian women, is a new folly of the criminal Ben Gvir and his gangs.” He said that this crime “will not break the resolve of Umm Al-Baraa nor the image of our engineer who humiliated the Zionist enemy with his heroic operations and shattered the prestige of the criminal occupier.” Jabarin warned that “the continuation of the criminal terrorist enemy’s detention of women, foremost among them the wives and mothers of martyrs and prisoners, will backfire and invoke the wrath of our revolutionary youth and heroic resistance fighters upon the occupier and its settlers in the occupied West Bank.” He added that “the arrogance of the occupier and the increasing brutality of its aggression will not break the will of our Palestinian people. Rather, these crimes will constitute additional fuel for the continuation of heroic resistance operations and for igniting confrontation with the Zionist enemy everywhere.” See new posts Conversation Quds News Network @QudsNen Israeli occupation soldiers brazenly pose for photos while detaining the wife of Yahya Ayyash, who they killed about thirty years ago.

🔴 NEW | Sudan’s army is preparing a major offensive to retake the Kordofan and Darfur regions from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, a campaign it says would surpass last year’s recapture of Khartoum in scale and planning, according to Al Jazeera. The Sudanese Armed Forces say they have reorganised and redeployed troops, assessed RSF capabilities, and begun what officials describe as the opening stages of a broader campaign, including air and drone strikes across both regions. Al Jazeera reports the army has already retaken some territory in Kordofan and carried out combined air and ground operations in Darfur and Kordofan. The military claims these strikes destroyed around 240 RSF vehicles and killed hundreds of fighters, while pushing RSF forces out of wide areas, though fighting continues. Darfur Governor Minni Arko Minnawi said recent advances helped prevent an RSF siege of el-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan. Residents on the ground remain sceptical, telling Al Jazeera they want to see the RSF fully withdraw before they can return home. Video from @AJEnglish
