Israeli Air Strike Into Gaza Injures Ten

Israel launched an air strike into Gaza injured ten, Sunday.

Jihadists Talat Jarbi and Mohammed Makawi, the targets of the strike, were riding a motor cycle when the missile struck.

Normally, Israeli air strikes kill their targets, without other injuries.

It is unclear why this strike was deemed important enough to take the risk, or why it was rushed enough to apparently miss being deadly.

Hamas, nor any of the other organizations that run the Gaza strip, have made any comment on the strike, yet.

South Korea to Build Longer Range Missiles

South Korea has gained permission, from the US, to build missiles with a range of eight hundred miles.

They had previously been limited to three hundred mile range, as part of the alliance agreement with the US.

The new range would allow for missiles anywhere in South Korea to strike anywhere in North Korea.

It would also put Beijing, a strong supporter of the North, in range of South Korean weapons.

North Korea is thought to have missiles that could reach nearly two thousand miles, giving them a definite advantage should they decide to make the war active, once again.

Cat Used For Target Practice

Ozzy the cat went missing from his Langford, British Columbia home, on September 30.

Friday he was found with blue duct tape binding his paws together and his tail to his neck.

Apparently the cat was bound and then used for target practice.

Vets were able to perform surgery and safely remove the arrow from Ozzy, who is now home recovering.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.

If an arrest is made, the police and SPCA plan to charge the suspect with animal cruelty and fine them for the cost of Ozzy's medical bills.

French Police Aiming at Homegrown Terrorists

French police killed one and arrested ten others during an anti terror sweep on Saturday.

Jeremy Sidney was killed opened fire upon police when they came to arrest him.

None of the officers involved were injured.

Police had linked the suspects to being part of a terrorist cell which had launched an attack in September.

Sidney's DNA had been found on the remnants of a grenade that had been used in the September attack.

The others are being questioned under suspicion of terrorism, but have not been fully charged yet.

Authorities are looking for a few more people, in relation to the cell, but feel they have shut it down by taking out all the key players.

President Hollande recently pledged to end all homegrown terrorist organizations and signed laws allowing police to do more towards locating such groups.

Turkey Ready For War With Syria if Necessary

Turkey fired artillery into Syria, for the fifth straight day, after yet another Syrian mortar strike crossed the border.

Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey does not wish for a war, but they will not hesitate to bring one if this continues.

Some Turkish military forces have been seen heading towards the border, and stationing in case of need.

On Thursday, the Turkish parliament overwhelmingly approved a decision that will allow Turkish military forces to cross the border, to safeguard the nation.

That decision came after five Turkish civilians were killed by errant Syrian fire, on Wednesday.

Israel has not responded to requests for information or a response to the accusations.

The accusation comes after Israel shot down a drone which had crossed over it's borders.

Iran Withdrawing Troops From Syria

Iran will be withdrawing three hundred members of the Revolutionary Guard, from Syria.

They had been aiding President Bashar al-Assad, in the civil war which seeks to end his rule.

Recent economic turbulence at home has troubled the Iranian government enough that they apparently feel the troops are more needed there.

Officially, Iran has no presence in Syria, but it has long been clear that they actually do.

As many as two thousand of the Revolutionary Guard are thought to be in Syria, and Iran has been feeding weapons and supplies to national forces.

Remembering: The Start of Operation Enduring Freedom

On October 7, 2011, President George W. Bush announced that US troops were actively engaging in war in Afghanistan.

Troops were sent there to combat the Taliban, the terrorist organization that, combined with Al Qaeda, had led operations of 9-11.

More than forty nations participated in Operation Enduring Freedom, the goal of which was to end Taliban rule of Afghanistan.

The Afghanistan war is still ongoing, with fewer and fewer countries are participating in the war, with most of the rest planning and staging their withdrawals.

Whilst the Taliban has been removed from power, their remnants wage guerrilla and terror campaigns, that have been bolstered by Al Qaeda.

2,003 US troops have lost their lives in Afghanistan, over the eleven years, with thousands of others from around the world, losing theirs as well.
