The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces says Saudi Arabia has carried out 35 air strikes against civilian infrastructure and non-military installations across five Yemeni provinces over the past 24 hours, as intensified fighting and aerial attacks continue on several fronts.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a statement posted on Telegram messaging application on Tuesday evening that Saudi F-15 and Eurofighter Typhoon warplanes, operating from the Saudi air bases of King Khalid Air Base near Khamis Mushait and Taif, struck areas in the southwestern province of Ta’izz, northwestern provinces of al-Jawf, ‘Amran and Sa’ada, as well as the western province of Hudaydah.
He added that the strikes damaged a number of civilian facilities, telecommunications networks, schools, bridges and roads, without providing any information about possible casualties and the extent of damage caused. … Full article

Israeli Security Minister Israel Katz has threatened to assassinate Hamas leaders abroad, invoking “Israel’s” failed attempt to kill the movement’s political leadership in Qatar last year, The Times of Israel reported.
“The Hamas leaders abroad are also in the crosshairs,” Katz said in a video statement Tuesday. Referring to the Doha attack, he said the leaders had escaped “due to a malfunction” and threatened to target them again.
Al-Qassam commander martyred in Gaza City
Katz’s remarks followed an Israeli airstrike on an apartment in Gaza City’s al-Nasr neighborhood that killed Izz al-Din al-Beik, commander of the al-Qassam Brigades’ Northern Gaza Brigade.
Hamas confirmed his martyrdom earlier today. … Full article
Al Mayadeen | September 29, 2026More than 6,500 Palestinians have been displaced from their homes in the occupied West Bank since 2023 due to settler attacks and access restrictions, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has revealed.
An updated OCHA map tracks communities that have been displaced and locations where more than 6,000 settler attacks have been recorded since 2023, resulting in casualties, property damage, or both.
The UN agency said 49 Palestinian communities have been completely displaced and another 83 partially displaced. Settler attacks have also damaged around 88,000 trees and saplings, which provide livelihoods for many Palestinians, as well as more than 3,100 vehicles. … continue

Settler violence continues to escalate across the occupied West Bank, with Israeli settlers carrying out attacks against Palestinian communities under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.
In a related development, Israeli settlers set fire to two homes belonging to a Palestinian family in the village of Jalud, south of Nablus, early Tuesday, just hours after the family had been “allowed” to return home following nearly two months of forced displacement, the Wafa news agency reported.
The Palestinian family had been forced to leave their two homes last July, following months of repeated settler harassment and attacks.
Local sources confirmed that a large number of Israeli settlers attacked the village and set fire to the two homes, causing extensive damage to the buildings and the families’ belongings.
They added that residents attempted to confront the attack before Israeli occupation forces arrived in the area.
The sources stressed that the Israeli occupation forces did not stop the settler violence. Instead, they provided them with protection and deployed reinforcements to the area, while the Palestinian family was once again forced to evacuate its home at gunpoint.
Jalud and the surrounding villages south of Nablus have lately witnessed repeated settler attacks, including assaults on residents, land usurpation, and the destruction of property and agricultural crops.
MEMO | September 29, 2026Four Palestinians were killed and several others, including children, were injured in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday amid daily violations of a ceasefire agreement in effect since Oct. 10, 2025.
A medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital told Anadolu that the bodies of two Palestinians and several injured people, including children, were brought to the hospital after an Israeli airstrike targeted an apartment in the Al-Nasr neighborhood west of Gaza City.
According to an Anadolu correspondent, the strike targeted an apartment in the Al-Batoul building, killing two Palestinians and injuring several others, including children.

Rail freight from China to Iran has increased tenfold since the US imposed a maritime blockade on Iranian ports, as Tehran brings three rail corridors online and expands capacity at its northern ports, Iranian parliament member Meisam Zohourian revealed on 29 September.
Zohourian said the same land and rail network could allow Iran to ship between 300,000 and 400,000 barrels of oil abroad per day (bpd), bypassing sea routes entirely.
He said that launching overland crude exports by rail and truck could establish alternative non-maritime trade corridors and eventually lead to building pipelines if they prove financially practical, he added.
Zohourian acknowledged that rail cannot carry the full load once handled by sea, but said it offers Tehran a dependable fallback in times of crisis and strengthens the resilience of Iran’s foreign commerce in ordinary times as well. … Full article

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a letter on 29 September addressing the US population – urging it to “force” Washington to “distance” itself from Israel, and expressing a readiness for “coexistence and peace,” while also vowing to continue fighting for Iran’s rights.
“Our purpose in sending a letter to the US people goes beyond media propaganda and creating familiarity with Iran’s reasoning. This is not a short-term or purely promotional move … Choosing a ‘letter’ as a tool to convey our message directly and clearly was a method selected based on the realities on the ground,” said IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi.
“The countries neighboring or located near the US, whether along its land or maritime borders, do not possess the military and security capabilities to pose a serious threat to the US,” he added following the letter’s release, urging US citizens to question Washington’s military expansionism and the presence of hundreds of its military bases across the globe.
Mohebbi went on to ask, “What is the purpose of deploying 800 US military bases around the world?” … continue

A senior Iranian military commander says enemies do not disclose their casualties, stressing that the enemies have failed to achieve their objectives in all imposed wars.
In a televised interview on Monday evening, Army Chief of Staff and Deputy Coordinator Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari stressed that “the enemy does not disclose their casualties, because that is one of their weak points. For example, they say, ‘We suffered eight fatalities.’ Who would believe that, in the face of all the missiles and drones that we sent, only eight people were affected at their bases? It is simply impossible.”
His remarks came after NBC News, citing three unnamed US officials, reported that eight American Marines sustained injuries two weeks earlier when an Iranian cruise missile attacked the ship on which they were operating in the Strait of Hormuz.
Since the war with Iran began, uncertainty has grown over the number of US troops who have been killed or wounded, unlike in many other overseas conflicts, where casualty figures are regularly reported.
The Pentagon recently reduced its reported death toll after changing how it classified the deaths of some service members, revealing last week that nine Marines and more than two dozen sailors were injured this month in the US war against Iran.
“It is clear that this is not the case. The number of their dead and the number of their wounded is higher than that—much higher. That is certain and clear,” Admiral Sayyari added. … Full article

Greek journalist and former European Parliament member Stelios Kouloglou filed a criminal complaint Monday against officials at Israeli spyware maker NSO Group, alleging that his phone was infected with Pegasus while he served on a parliamentary inquiry into surveillance software, Anadolu reports.
The complaint was submitted to the Athens prosecutor’s office, Greek public broadcaster ERT reported. Kouloglou said a forensic examination by the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab found that his phone had been infected around Oct. 21, 2022, and again on March 6 and 7, 2023.
At the time, he was a substitute member of the European Parliament committee investigating the use of Pegasus, Predator and similar spyware. The complaint said the infections coincided with significant phases of the committee’s work.
Kouloglou alleges the spyware could have given those responsible access to communications, contacts, documents, location information and data related to his political work. The complaint seeks an investigation into alleged breaches of communications privacy, unauthorized access to data and violations of personal data law.
Speaking after filing the complaint, Kouloglou said surveillance was an issue affecting all citizens and expressed hope that Greek prosecutors would investigate the case.
His lawyer, Zacharias Kesses, said no action had previously been taken despite the allegations being known.

There is no running away from the fact that there are extremely troubling ideas throughout the Torah, Talmud, Mishneh Torah and Tanya.
Ideas like “choseness”, “promised land”, “return to Zion”, “building the temple”, “tikkun olam”… etc come from no other than Torah itself, soaked in supremacy, dominance aspiration, deception and mass-killing.
We can no longer hide our heads in the sand, pretending not to know, pretending not to see.
Jewish anti-Zionists should move on now, and use all their activism outside the Palestine solidarity movement, direct their work towards their people where serious discussions happen, plans are drawn, funds are raised, weapons are shipped and is genocide plotted and enacted. They should work with their own Jewish communities to try to get them out of the mess of supremacy and genocide they got themselves into.
Instead of wasting their time denying any links between Judaism and Zionism, instead of throwing their energy on controlling the Palestinian discourse, and instead of relentlessly monitoring us, Semite Palestinians lest we slip and “conflate Zionism with Judaism”or say something “antisemitic”, that may offend a Jew, Anti-Zionist Jews should change course and adopt a different role to play. … continue

AL-KHALIL – The Israeli occupation army has closed the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil City to Muslim worshipers until next Wednesday to allow Jewish settlers to hold Sukkot celebrations inside the Islamic holy site.
The Israeli army also tightened restrictions across al-Khalil City, deploying extra troops and closing military checkpoints and security gates around the Ibrahimi Mosque for the Sukkot holiday.
Moataz Abu Sneineh, director of the Ibrahimi Mosque, denounced the closure, saying that “using settler celebrations as a pretext infringes on the site’s Islamic sanctity and Muslims’ right to reach their place of worship.”
According to WAFA news, the Israeli army has also closed markets in al-Khalil’s Old City and imposed tight movement restrictions on Palestinian residents across the city.

The Hamas resistance movement has denounced so-called Israeli security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s threat to execute Palestinian abductee Hassan Salameh, warning that the remarks could pave the way for further crimes and atrocities against Palestinian inmates.
The Gaza-based resistance group, in a statement released on Sunday, said the video showing Ben-Gvir confronting Salameh and threatening to have him executed would not weaken the jailed Hamas leader’s resolve or that of other Palestinian inmates.
The movement, however, warned that the video signals the possibility of new killings targeting Salameh and other Palestinian inmates held illegally inside Israeli detention centers, stressing it represents a policy that has turned prisons into sites of direct physical liquidation and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law.
Hamas stated it had made, and continues to make, every possible attempt at all levels and through all available means to secure the release of Palestinian abductees held in Israeli prisons. … Full article

Finance minister of the Zionist regime, Bezalel Smotrich, has called for denying Palestinians in Gaza any hope of rebuilding the war-ravaged strip, saying that keeping the coastal region overcrowded and in ruins would push residents to leave the besieged territory.
Speaking to Israel’s Channel 14, Smotrich described the denial of hope for Gaza’s reconstruction as a key element in the displacement of the territory’s residents.
“The biggest key to displacing the residents of Gaza is to take away their hope, so they do not believe that one day Gaza will be rebuilt,” Smotrich said.
The Zionist minister said that if Israel were to annex the Palestinian territory up to the so-called “Yellow Line,” Gaza would remain “very small, overcrowded and destroyed,” adding that Palestinians would then understand that “there is no point in staying there.”
Smotrich also discussed the possibility of Palestinians leaving Gaza for other countries. He said that if European countries each accepted between 20,000 and 30,000 Palestinians from Gaza, it would, in his view, “end the problem.” … Full article

Nearly 466 days ago, just seven days into the unprovoked and illegal US-backed Israeli military aggression against Iran, The Economist provocatively placed a torn Iranian flag on its cover and asked: “How will this end?”
The image was widely interpreted as a metaphor for the possible collapse or fragmentation of the Islamic Republic in the face of overwhelming military force.
At the time, the narrative surrounding Iran was dominated by predictions of its imminent defeat, the weakening of its leadership, and even the possible collapse of the Islamic Republic under the weight of an aggression that came amid Iran-US indirect nuclear talks.
The article went on to ask whether what it described as Israel’s first war against Iran “will also be the last,” or whether it would “lead to a series of Iran-Israel wars that mire” West Asia in years, if not decades, of further violence.
Written before the United States directly joined the war of aggression by illegally bombing Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities on June 22, the article also suggested that Washington should move beyond “merely defending Israel and deterring Iran” and join the occupying regime in attacking Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.
Yet even then, The Economist warned that such a war could spiral into a broader regional war, sending energy prices soaring by targeting Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure or blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global energy supplies. … continue

The Iranian Embassy in London announced on 28 September its “categorical rejection” and strong condemnation of speculation regarding Tehran’s involvement in an alleged plot to attack a British military air base used by US forces.
In a post on X, the embassy criticized “recent baseless and malicious speculation circulated by certain individuals and British media outlets attempting to link Iran” to the incident, which occurred in the early hours of Sunday.
Gloucestershire Police had announced on Sunday that a “major incident” was taking place in the Welford area of western England, leading to the evacuation of several buildings near the RAF Fairford air base.
Police stated that army explosive ordnance disposal experts were examining several vehicles and that five men had been detained on suspicion of offenses under the Explosives Act.
Residents were evacuated from 85 homes in the area near the base on Sunday as army bomb-disposal experts used a robot to examine three white vans.
The five men detained in connection with the alleged bomb plot, all British citizens, were released on bail on Monday, suggesting the incident is not serious, in contrast to early claims. … continue

It’s rather forgotten today how Washington’s post-9/11 imperial adventurism was not restricted to military intervention. A core component of the Bush administration’s “Freedom Agenda” – under the auspices of which calamitous wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere were waged – was overt sponsorship of civil society-led coups throughout the former Soviet Union, Warsaw Pact and Yugoslavia. Citizens of these regions, and the world, live with this meddling’s destructive consequences to this day. The seemingly never-ending – and ever-escalating – Ukraine proxy war is a particularly visceral legacy.
The 1983 creation of the National Endowment for Democracy, a US state entity avowedly concerned with executing overtly what the CIA once did covertly, ushered in a new era of “spyless coups”. Working in close conjunction with USAID and George Soros’ Open Society Institute, NED ever after provided funding, training and material assistance to NGOs, ‘independent’ media outlets, opposition groups, and other initiatives in service of regime change, across every corner of the world. … continue

Here in New York, our very-light-weight Governor Kathy Hochul is running for re-election. To her slight credit, she has noticed that New York is a high cost state, not the least for cost of energy, and that New Yorkers are upset about that.
New Yorkers are right to be upset about the cost of energy. According to this chart from the federal EIA containing most recent data for July 2026, the average price of electricity to the ultimate consumer in New York for that month was 29.9¢/kWh, compared to a national average of 18.31¢/kWh; and New York’s cost had increased more than 14% from 26.22¢/kWh in July 2025, versus a 4.9% increase in the national average over last year’s 17.45¢/kWh. New Yorkers are also right to be upset because the premium they pay for electricity is mostly to entirely the consequence of intentional government policies that drive up the cost.
What’s crazy is that Governor Hochul has decided to make “energy affordability” a theme of her campaign. The reason that is crazy is that at the same time that Hochul claims she favors more “affordability,” she also brags about maintaining and expanding the very policies that have caused the excess costs. The person most responsible for New York’s high energy cost is Kathy Hochul. But hey, this “energy affordability” theme seems to have worked in somewhat comparable circumstances for Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill, running respectively in Virginia and New Jersey last year. If the Virginia and New Jersey voters fell for it, maybe the New York voters will too. … continue

The Arctic sea ice should have melted away years ago, according to the “experts”.
In 2007, for instance, Professor Wieslaw Maslowski told us that northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years. In December that year, Jay Zwally of NASA agreed, giving the ice till 2012.
A year later, Professor David Barber went one step further, saying the ice would all be gone that very summer. Then we had Al Gore confidently predicting it would all disappear by 2016.
For sheer persistence in getting it wrong, however, first prize must go to Professor Peter Wadhams, Professor of Ocean Physics, and Head of the Polar Ocean Physics Group in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge:
· In 2012, he predicted that the Arctic would be ice free by 2015/16
· In 2014, he thought it might last till 2020
· In 2016, he confidently predicted the Arctic would be ice free that summer (though curiously he now defined “ice free” as less than 1 million square kilometers!)
Strangely, all these “experts” have been pretty quiet lately. Little wonder, because Arctic sea ice extent is just as large now as it was when all of those fatuous claims were made.
To be fair, they were only talking about summer sea ice. Even they were not daft enough to think that there would be no ice in winter either.
As is always the case in mid-September, the sea ice has just provisionally hit its minimum extent for the year, at 4.574 million sq km. Much of it is still over a meter thick. … continue

Euronews claims climate change has evolved into a “meta-crisis” threatening food security, energy supplies, economies, water resources, and international security. This is misleading because the article largely substitutes predictions and assertions for measurements of what is actually happening. The data show global crop production and yields reaching record levels, deaths from extreme weather collapsing over the long term, and many of today’s energy and economic problems arising from political choices and geopolitical conflicts rather than changes in climate.
Euronews builds its case primarily around an interview with Emmanuella Doussis, UNESCO Chair on Climate Diplomacy at the University of Athens. Doussis declares climate change an economic, social, political, and geopolitical problem, linking it to competition for resources, migration, water shortages, food insecurity, and the energy transition.
Those are sweeping claims. Curiously, Euronews provides remarkably little observational evidence demonstrating that climate change is actually causing the worldwide “meta-crisis” its headline announces. … continue

Informed with Aaron Siri | September 24, 2026
On the topic of splitting up the MMR vaccine into 3 separate vaccines, everyone should know that in 2012, two Merck virologists came forward and explained that when Merck sought to change the label on its MMR vaccine and approval for ProQuad (a combination MMR and varicella vaccine), it “falsely certified as having an efficacy rate that is significantly higher than it actually is.” (See Complaint ¶ 1.)
As detailed in the whistleblower lawsuit, Merck obtained a license for its mumps vaccine in 1967. (Comp. ¶ 16.) In the late 1990s, to obtain approval for ProQuad and change the label on its MMR vaccine, Merck needed to reconfirm its claims of efficacy for its mumps vaccine made thirty years prior. (Comp. ¶ 22.) Two of Merck’s virologists working on testing the efficacy of the mumps vaccine revealed that after Merck could not demonstrate a 95% efficacy for its mumps vaccine, the results were simply fraudulently falsified to achieve this result.

The change in the law to enable this came as an amendment, SI2024/1162, to the Bread and Flour Regulations 1998. As a Statutory Instrument, there was no parliamentary debate. There was no full scientific Impact Assessment; just a de minimis financial assessment by DEFRA and limited DHSC input. The stated aim is to increase blood folate levels in pregnant women in order to reduce the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs). The Government estimates a reduction of about 200 Neural Tube Defect (NTD)-affected pregnancies annually, approximately 20% of UK cases. Most of these would have ended in a termination of pregnancy or a neonatal death but a small number of births of children with spina bifida may be avoided.
No proper assessment of the harms of folic acid has been carried out, yet it is proposed to give it to every man, woman and child in this country indefinitely, rather than just giving supplements for a few months to those women wishing to take them. Most notably there are several groups of people whom the NHS currently advises to avoid folic acid medication. This includes patients with cancer, Vitamin B12 deficiency and cardiac stent procedures (patients on haemodialysis were also included in the list until recently). Analysis of long term outcomes from 10 randomised trials has shown a worrying 23% increase in cancers, 24% for prostate cancer.
What is not at all clear, is how people will avoid folic acid once it is in virtually all flour. … continue

Mauritius on Saturday refused landing clearance for a scheduled flight from Israel, forcing its cancellation after efforts to secure approval failed, Israeli media reported, Anadolu reports.
The Ynet news website said the Air Seychelles flight was due to depart Israel for Mauritius but was called off after authorities did not grant permission for it to land.
Spirit World Productions, the Israeli tour operator behind the trip, said the flight had received approvals several months earlier.
The company said it had been informed that the refusal was based on “political and diplomatic considerations.”
Mauritian authorities have yet to comment on the decision.
Separately, sources familiar with the matter told Israel’s Channel 12 that the refusal was linked to absence of the Mauritius delegation during this week’s address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly.

Two Palestinians were killed, and seven others injured Sunday in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, amid Tel Aviv’s daily violations of a ceasefire agreement in place since October 2025, medical sources said, Anadolu reports.
The sources told Anadolu that 28-year-old Palestinian Uday Adli al-Assar was killed in an Israeli drone strike on the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
The body of another Palestinian and an unspecified number of injured people were brought to Al-Shifa Hospital after an Israeli drone strike hit a civilian vehicle in the industrial area south of Gaza City, the sources said.
Two Palestinians were injured, including one critically, when an Israeli drone shelled a gathering of people near the White Mosque in the Al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City, they added.
In a separate attack, five Palestinians were injured when an Israeli drone struck near tents housing displaced people around the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood market in northern Gaza City, the sources added.
Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that Israeli forces opened heavy fire toward western and eastern parts of Gaza City, west of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, and areas east of Khan Younis and northwest of Rafah in the south.
The strikes come amid Israel’s continuing violations of the truce that has been in place since Oct. 10, 2025.
The truce was intended to end Israel’s genocidal war that has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and injured over 175,000 others in Gaza since October 2023.
