Islamic State frees 6 Syrian Druze women, children in deal with Assad regime-Monitor says IS to receive 60 of its prisoners, $27 million as part of swap for members of ethno-religious minority taken captive in the war’s deadliest attack on the community-By Bachir El Khoury-TOI-OCT 21,18
BEIRUT (AFP) — The Islamic State jihadist group has released two women and four children among 27 surviving Druze hostages it seized during a deadly July attack on the minority community’s heartland in southern Syria.State television broadcast footage of the six arriving in the city of Sweida on Saturday, joyful at being reunited with their families but haggard after their three-month ordeal.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group, said their release was the first part of a deal that would see at least 60 IS prisoners released in exchange and a $27 million ransom paid.The jihadists abducted around 30 people — mostly women and children — from Sweida province in late July during the deadliest attack on Syria’s Druze community of the seven-year civil war.As negotiations for their release dragged on, families led a series of protests outside government offices in Sweida to demand more be done.“I cannot describe my joy,” Rasmia Abu Amar told state television after being reunited with her husband.“But it is incomplete — my son has not yet been released,” she said, her hair covered by a white headscarf.A second woman appeared with her four children, their clothes still dirty from their long captivity and her sons with their heads shaved.Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP that the six were freed on Friday night and that further hostage releases were expected “in the next few days or hours.”Stiff price-He said that in return for the release of all of the hostages, the Syrian government had agreed to free 60 Islamic State prisoners and pay a ransom of $27 million.“Nine IS women prisoners held by the regime have already been handed over to the group along with seven children,” Abdel Rahman said.During the coordinated assaults on July 25, IS carried out suicide bombings, shootings and stabbings that left more than 250 people dead, most of them civilians.Sweida province is the heartland of the country’s Druze minority, which made up around three percent of Syria’s pre-war population — or around 700,000 people.Followers of a secretive offshoot of Islam, the Druze are considered heretics by the Sunni extremists of IS.The jihadists executed a 19-year-old male student among the hostages in August and then a 25-year-old woman in early October. IS said a 65-year-old woman being held by the group also died from illness.Negotiations between regime ally Russia and the jihadists for the release of the hostages had stalled. But the latest round of talks appeared to have paid off — albeit it with a stiff price.The Observatory said IS had also demanded the halting of an offensive against them in Sweida.-Jihadists killed-Government forces have battled its fighters in the volcanic plateau of Tulul al-Safa in the east of the province since the July attack.Abdel Rahman said the Syrian Democratic Forces, a Kurdish-led alliance that controls swaths of the north and northeast with the support of a US-led coalition, “should also release some IS detainees” but he did not specify the number.There was no immediate comment from the SDF, which has been taking heavy casualties fighting IS in its last pocket of control in eastern Syria, around the Euphrates valley town of Hajin.On September 10, the group launched a major assault on the pocket where they estimate some 3,000 jihadists are holed up.The battle has killed 414 jihadists and 227 SDF fighters in total since then, the Observatory says.On Saturday, coalition air strikes killed 28 IS fighters in and around Hajin, while another seven jihadists were killed in clashes with the SDF, the monitor said.Coalition air strikes on IS targets in another part of the eastern pocket killed at least 41 civilians, 10 of them children, on Thursday and Friday, it added.A coalition spokesman was not immediately available for comment.Syria’s grinding civil war has claimed more than 360,000 lives since it erupted with the the bloody repression of anti-government protests in 2011.A caliphate which the jihadists proclaimed across large swaths of Syria and neighboring Iraq in 2014 has crumbled in the face of multiple offensives against them but they remain a potent force.
Israeli aircraft fires toward incendiary balloon-launching cell in Gaza-Palestinian media report motorcycle destroyed in strike, which comes as incendiary devices launched from Strip spark 3 blazes in south-By TOI staff-OCT 21,18
A military aircraft fired toward a group of Palestinians on Saturday flying incendiary balloons from the Gaza Strip into Israel, the Israeli army said.There were no reports of injuries. Palestine media outlets said the strike destroyed a motorcycle in southern Gaza.The airstrike came as flaming balloons launched from the coastal enclave started two fires in southern Israel. Firefighters were working to extinguish the blazes, which broke out at the Be’eri and Shokeda forests.Another fire was later sparked in the Kissufim Forest by a burning balloon flown from Gaza, the Ynet news site reported.A spokesman for the Fire and Rescue Services said balloons launched from Gaza started a total of four fires Saturday in the south.Military forces also fired toward a group in Gaza on Friday launching incendiary balloons at Israeli territory as thousands of Palestinians took part in clashes along the border.Though the IDF said a number of explosives and grenades were set off during the clashes and that Palestinians broke through the fence in three locations before immediately returning to the coastal enclave, with soldiers opening fire at the suspects in one case, Israeli defense officials described the demonstrations as some of the quietest since the “March of Return” began on March 30.“Unlike past weeks, most of the rioters remained at a distance and did not try to reach the fence. Hamas acted for restraint on the ground,” the military said, referring to the terror group that rules Gaza.The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said 130 Palestinians were hurt in the clashes, including 77 by live fire.The IDF said some 10,000 people took part in the protests. It sent text messages on Friday to residents of the coastal enclave, warning them not to approach the fence, Palestinians said.The violence broke out despite one of the main organizers of the protests calling on participants on Thursday night to behave nonviolently in the demonstration, following a flareup between Israel and the Hamas that threatened to spark an all-out war.However, Israeli officials believe Hamas has changed its policies regarding the clashes and is working towards curbing violence at the rallies which have become a near-daily occurrence, Hadashot TV news reported Friday.Jerusalem believes the terror group is moderating the demonstrations in order to allow Egyptian mediators a chance to strike a deal between Hamas and Israel for a long-term truce in Gaza, the report said.Meanwhile Haaretz reported that Israeli defense officials wish to respond to the more limited rallies in Gaza on Friday by renewing fuel supplies to the Strip. The officials have said in closed deliberations that Hamas’s efforts to limit the violence should be taken advantage of to create positive momentum towards a calm.Last Friday, Israel halted the transfer of fuel to Gaza in response to heavy rioting and attacks at the border fence.According to the newspaper, security officials hope to renew supplies to Gaza as early as Sunday, to send a positive message to Hamas. It was not clear whether Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman supports such a move. Liberman said last week that Israel would not allow any more fuel into Gaza until violence against Israel was stopped “entirely.”Since March 30, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have participated in a series of protests and riots which have mostly involved the burning of tires and rock-throwing along the security fence, but have also seen shooting attacks and bombings as well as the sending of incendiary balloons and kites into Israel.Some 156 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more have been injured in the clashes with IDF troops, according to AP figures. Hamas, an Islamist terror group that seeks to destroy Israel, has acknowledged that dozens of the dead were its members. One Israeli soldier was shot dead by a sniper on the border earlier this year
Analysis-Both Israel, Hamas tout ‘accomplishments’ in Gaza — but is calm truly possible?-Scaled back border protests have each side claiming progress, but the key issues aren’t going away, and the threat of PA sanctions looms large-By Avi Issacharoff-OCT 21,18
It’s been a long time since both Hamas and Israel appeared satisfied with the outcome of the ongoing protests along the Gaza border, but both sides have been touting their “accomplishments” in Friday’s border events to their respective peoples.In Israel, security officials stressed that the turnout at Friday’s protests was relatively low, and that the demonstrations saw the lowest level of violence in recent months.Officials told Israeli media that in an effort to prevent violence, Hamas had taken measures to deter demonstrators on Friday, and had even stationed guards near the border to stop protesters from breaching the fence.Of course, they said, this didn’t work everywhere, but defense officials noted that it was the quietest protest since the “March of Return” events began earlier this year.This message apparently had two purposes: first, to calm spirits in the Israeli public, where there have been growing calls for a harsher military response to Gaza violence after two rockets were fired from the Strip towards central Israel and at Beersheba earlier this week; and second, and perhaps more importantly, to calm combative cabinet ministers led by Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman — who made sure the press was told he had urged a large-scale military campaign in Gaza, as well as Education Minister Naftali Bennett, whose Jewish Home party has turned the IDF into its punching bag on the way to the next election.On the Palestinian side, meanwhile, Hamas and other factions hailed participants in the protests for continuing the fight to end the Egyptian and Israeli blockade of the territory.Contrary to Israeli reports, media outlets in Gaza reported a relatively high turnout Friday, but Hamas did admit that it had issued instructions to reduce friction with the Israeli military near the border fence — this in accordance with understandings reached with Egyptian mediators working to broker a long-term peace agreement with Israel. (In recent months, Egyptian Intelligence chief Abbas Kamel and UN Middle East peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov have emerged as the key figures working to prevent another war.) In short, both sides are what might be called relatively satisfied. And in the Middle East, where you would be hard-pressed to find more bitter enemies than Israel and Hamas, that is something of a miracle in and of itself.But the problem is that Friday’s events are far from the end of this fight.Just Saturday morning, new attempts were made by Palestinian youths to breach the border in central Gaza. Friday’s “non-violent” protest was a stone’s throw away from potentially becoming another incident with major casualties on the Palestinian side — with all the ramifications that would entail.And had the two rockets fired at Beersheba and central Israel Wednesday morning — the first of which destroyed a home — resulted in casualties, we would, of course, be in a completely different place right now.The big questions remain. None of the reasons that led Hamas, an Islamist terror group that wants to destroy Israel, to launch the protests — the blockade, Palestinian Authority sanctions, rage against the Jewish state — have gone away.First, on the immediate tactical level, will Israel allow resumption of the transfer of Qatari-bought fuel into Gaza as early as Sunday, doubling power for the Strip’s residents from four to eight hours a day? And does Israel intend to take more steps to ease the humanitarian situation according to the UN’s plans? Gazans have understood from Egyptian mediators that the relative quiet of Friday will ensure such steps are taken.And next week an even bigger hurdle will emerge: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is set to convene the PLO’s Central Committee to make a series of major decisions, including the potential complete halt of all PA funds to the Gaza Strip. Such a move would not only have significant implications for the Strip’s economy, but for Israel’s security situation as well.But in the same spirit of cautious optimism that has prevailed over the last 24 hours, perhaps Egyptian pressure will succeed there as well, and Abbas will refrain from taking such drastic action.
Israel delays planned demolition of West Bank Bedouin village-Sources in Netanyahu’s office say decision to push off razing Khan Al-Ahmar to allow more time for talks with residents; Liberman slams move-By Jacob Magid and Alexander Fulbright-TOI-OCT 21,18
Israel on Saturday pushed off the demolition of a Bedouin village in the West Bank whose slated razing has brought international condemnation.Sources in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the delay was to allow more time for talks with residents of Khan Al-Ahmar and to consider proposals regarding the village’s fate.“The intention is to try and exhaust the negotiations and the proposals received from various parties, including in recent days,” the sources said.No date was given on when a decision would be made whether to move ahead with the demolition.The announcement from the Prime Minister’s Office was met with a swift rebuke by Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman.“The decision to delay the clearance of Khan Al-Ahmar was made in complete opposition to the stance of the defense minister and despite his firm objection,” his office said in a statement.Reacting to the news, a Palestinian Authority official said protests at the village would continue until its planned demolition is scrapped altogether.“Our demand is that Israeli authorities cancel the decision to demolish Khan al-Ahmar and allow its residents to remain here. We will be continuing our struggle and sit-in until our demand is achieved,” Walid Assaf, head of the PA’s Commission Against the Wall and Settlements, told The Times of Israel.“We would consider any decision to not demolish the village as positive,” he added.Our demand is that Israeli authorities cancel the decision to demolish Khan al-Ahmar and allow its residents to remain here. We will be continuing are struggle and sit-in until our demand is achieved.”“We would consider any decision to not demolish the village as positive.The bulldozing of Khan Al-Ahmar appeared imminent earlier this week, as detectives called up activists to warn them against carrying out “illegal” activities during the razing of the Palestinian hamlet in the central West Bank.Late last month, the Civil Administration — the Defense Ministry body that regulates construction in the parts of the West Bank fully controlled by Israel — warned residents that if they did not pack up their things and demolish all structures by October 1, Israeli authorities would do so for them.More than two weeks have passed since then and Khan al-Ahmar still stands, but residents as well as a number of defense officials had told The Times of Israel that they expected the razing to take place this past week.In May, the High Court of Justice allowed the state to move forward with its plans to demolish Khan al-Ahmar, which was established illegally without building permits.Attorneys representing the villagers filed several appeals, attempting to cancel or at least delay the razing. Last month, the High Court rejected a final appeal from Khan al-Ahmar residents, and authorities have since been preparing to flatten the hamlet and transfer the residents several miles east near the Palestinian town of Abu Dis, in a move that has drawn international condemnation of Israel.The relocation site is hooked up to water, electricity and sewage and has a school to replace the current Italian-funded institution, which is made of falafel oil and mud-caked tires and has become a symbol for the village.But residents of Khan al-Ahmar — 180 in number, according to the United Nations — have vehemently opposed moving there, saying that they were never consulted, the location is unsuitable for their rural way of life and is next to a garbage dump, and residents of Abu Dis have warned them to stay away.They have similarly been uninterested in a second relocation site proposed to them by the state two months ago adjacent to the nearby settlement of Mitzpe Jericho as well as to a sewage treatment facility.The villagers have argued that they submitted a building plan outline to the Civil Administration, but that it was never considered by the Defense Ministry body nor the High Court before it green-lighted Khan al-Ahmar’s razing.Much of the international community has urged Israel to refrain from evicting the residents of Khan al-Ahmar, arguing that the forced transfer of populations in occupied territory violates international law.Israel argues that the village was built illegally and its homes are dangerously close to a highway, while noting the demolition has been approved by the country’s independent courts.
Australia government loses crucial vote, leaving Israel embassy move in doubt-Result in by-election snuffs out coalition’s one-seat majority, sends country into period of political instability, diminishes prospects of mission relocating to Jerusalem-By AFP and TOI staff-OCT 21,18
Australia’s embattled conservative coalition was dealt a spectacular defeat Saturday in a crucial by-election two months after it turfed out its latest prime minister, sending it into a minority government.The poll in the wealthy Sydney seat of Wentworth was triggered after former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull of the Liberal Party was ousted in the party coup in August — the sixth change of national leaders in the last decade.The result snuffs out the Liberal-National coalition’s one-seat majority and sends the country into yet another period of political instability ahead of national elections that have to be called by mid-May next year.The Australian Electoral Commission said with almost 40 percent of the vote in Wentworth counted, high-profile independent candidate Kerryn Phelps was leading 54.34% compared to 45.66% for the Liberals’ Dave Sharma under Australia’s system of preferential voting.“I think we can say that Kerryn Phelps will win the Wentworth by-election and this has been a pretty bad result for the Liberal Party,” respected veteran analyst Antony Green of national broadcaster ABC said.It is the biggest-ever swing in a by-election against a sitting government.At the heart of voter discontent in the traditional Liberal seat, which was held by Turnbull by an 18% margin, was widespread frustration about the leadership merry-go-round and constant infighting in Canberra.“What we have done is tapped into a sentiment in the Australian people, to talk about the issues that are important to them, not the issues about survival for a particular political party,” Phelps told supporters during her victory speech.“It was said if we won the seat of Wentworth, it would make history, and, my friends, we have made history today.”Turnbull’s successor Scott Morrison told supporters at an evening campaign event for Liberal candidate Dave Sharma as he conceded defeat that his party would keep fighting on.“Liberals are angry and they’ve expressed that,” Morrison said. “The Liberal Party has paid a big price tonight for the events of several months ago. But as a party, we will continue to rise again.”While the result is ominous for the ruling coalition, which is battling poor polls and strong competition from the main Labor opposition party, the wealth of Wentworth also makes the electorate unique.Analysts have told AFP next year’s elections would be more likely to fought in less moneyed marginal seats in outer city suburbs and regional areas, where the focus is on bread and butter issues such as tackling the high cost of living.Voting is compulsory in Australia but the buzz around the polling stations was unusual for Wentworth, with dozens of volunteers from different parties inundating voters with leaflets for their candidates earlier Saturday after polls opened.“I’ve done over 20 elections and this is the first time at [8 a.m.] we’ve had a queue,” Liberal Party volunteer Kevin Berry told national broadcaster ABC. “It’s quite extraordinary the level of interest in the election this time around.”Wentworth resident Roslyn Taylor said she was frustrated with politicians and the chaos that has plagued the main parties in recent years.“None of them have really got their mind on the job. None of them have got their mind on the people — the true needs of the people in terms of education, in terms of health,” she told AFP outside a polling booth at Bondi Beach.The sprawling Sydney constituency takes in the famous beach, as well as the haunts of stars like Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman.The defeat is hugely embarrassing to Morrison, who even floated the idea of moving the Australian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem — upending decades of Australian foreign policy — in an apparent bid to woo Wentworth’s Jewish voters.It was not clear what would become of that plan following the election’s results, but with Morrison now effectively a lame duck prime minister, its prospects appeared diminished.The Palestinian Authority delegation to Australia had lambasted Morrison’s announcement as “deeply disturbing.” In a statement to the Guardian, the delegation warned Canberra that its standing in the Arab Muslim world would be damaged, and urged the government “to seriously consider the consequences of any such move.”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had welcomed Morrison’s announcement, saying in a statement on Tuesday that he was “very thankful” the prime minister was considering the policy change.

Tropical Storm Willa could become hurricane off Mexico coast-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 21, 2018
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Two tropical storms are swirling in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico, and one is forecast to become a hurricane and approach the country's west coast in several days.Tropical Storm Willa is the 21st named storm of the eastern Pacific hurricane season. It was about 255 miles (415 kilometers) south-southwest of the port city of Manzanillo Saturday night with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph).The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Willa would likely become a hurricane on Sunday. It was expected to remain off the coast through late Tuesday, when it could approach Mexico's west-central mainland as a hurricane.Tropical Storm Vicente formed Friday off the coast of the southern state of Chiapas. Its core was about 100 miles (290 kilometers) southeast of Salina Cruz, Mexico late Saturday night. It had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph).The center said it could produce 3 to 6 inches of rain along Mexico's southern Pacific coast and parts of Guatemala.
Tropical Storms Willa, Vicente take aim at Mexican Pacific coast-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 21, 2018
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Willa gained strength on Saturday in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico and is forecast to become a hurricane by Sunday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.The storm was about 280 miles (451 km) southwest of the major port of Manzanillo, and had maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (97 kph). It is likely to reach the coast of western Mexico by Wednesday before it accelerates toward the northeast, the NHC saidAnother tropical storm, Vicente, formed in the Pacific off southern Mexico on Saturday, churning toward the coast but was only expected to strengthen slightly over the next couple of days, Vicente was about 125 miles (201 km) southeast of the port of Salina Cruz, where a major refinery owned by national oil company Pemex is located, with maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour (80 kph).The storm was moving at about 9 miles per hour (14 kph) toward the west and expected to turn northwest early next week and make landfall near the Mexican states of Guerrero and Michoacan as early as Tuesday."Some slight strengthening is possible today and Sunday," the hurricane center said.(Reporting by David Alire Garcia; Editing by Bill Trott and Alistair Bell)
Floods in Qatar as almost a year's rain falls in one day-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-October 21, 2018
Doha (AFP) - Qatar was hit by widespread flash flooding on Saturday as the desert state received almost a year's worth of rainfall in one day.Roads became impassable, air traffic was disrupted and homes were flooded, while shops and universities closed.Qatar broadcaster Al Jazeera's senior meteorologist, Steff Gaulter, tweeted that one part of the capital Doha had experienced almost a year's worth of rain on Saturday."Abu Hamor (a suburb) now reporting 59.8mm. (Doha average annual rainfall is 77mm.)," she wrote.By early evening it was estimated that 61mm of rain had fallen.Qatar Airways was forced to divert some flights, creating logistical headaches, as neighbours Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are among states that do not allow Doha to use their airspace, due to an ongoing diplomatic rift.Some Qatar-bound flights were forced to divert to Kuwait and Iran and the airline warned its passengers to expect further problems."Due to weather conditions over Doha, flights are subject to delays for departure and arrivals," Qatar Airways said on Twitter.Qatar's public works authority issued a warning to drivers to avoid tunnels because of the flooding.Social media in Qatar showed cars almost completely submerged under water, after thunderstorms over Doha.Other footage showed rainwater running downstairs inside buildings as workers desperately tried to mop up.Qatar's National Library, not yet a year old, was forced to close and said it would remain shut on Sunday to ensure the "safety of our users".The US embassy also said it would be closed on Sunday, "due to weather conditions".The extent of the flooding may cause concern for the authorities who have spent billions on major infrastructure projects ahead of hosting the World Cup in 2022.Some sought to downplay the disruption, joking online there was now no need for Saudi Arabia to dig a canal around Qatar -- an apparent threat made by Riyadh as part of the continuing political tensions -- because the flooding had done the neighbouring power's job for it.

Islamic State frees 6 Syrian Druze women, children in deal with Assad regime-Monitor says IS to receive 60 of its prisoners, $27 million as part of swap for members of ethno-religious minority taken captive in the war’s deadliest attack on the community-By Bachir El Khoury-TOI-OCT 21,18
BEIRUT (AFP) — The Islamic State jihadist group has released two women and four children among 27 surviving Druze hostages it seized during a deadly July attack on the minority community’s heartland in southern Syria.State television broadcast footage of the six arriving in the city of Sweida on Saturday, joyful at being reunited with their families but haggard after their three-month ordeal.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group, said their release was the first part of a deal that would see at least 60 IS prisoners released in exchange and a $27 million ransom paid.The jihadists abducted around 30 people — mostly women and children — from Sweida province in late July during the deadliest attack on Syria’s Druze community of the seven-year civil war.As negotiations for their release dragged on, families led a series of protests outside government offices in Sweida to demand more be done.“I cannot describe my joy,” Rasmia Abu Amar told state television after being reunited with her husband.“But it is incomplete — my son has not yet been released,” she said, her hair covered by a white headscarf.A second woman appeared with her four children, their clothes still dirty from their long captivity and her sons with their heads shaved.Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP that the six were freed on Friday night and that further hostage releases were expected “in the next few days or hours.”Stiff price-He said that in return for the release of all of the hostages, the Syrian government had agreed to free 60 Islamic State prisoners and pay a ransom of $27 million.“Nine IS women prisoners held by the regime have already been handed over to the group along with seven children,” Abdel Rahman said.During the coordinated assaults on July 25, IS carried out suicide bombings, shootings and stabbings that left more than 250 people dead, most of them civilians.Sweida province is the heartland of the country’s Druze minority, which made up around three percent of Syria’s pre-war population — or around 700,000 people.Followers of a secretive offshoot of Islam, the Druze are considered heretics by the Sunni extremists of IS.The jihadists executed a 19-year-old male student among the hostages in August and then a 25-year-old woman in early October. IS said a 65-year-old woman being held by the group also died from illness.Negotiations between regime ally Russia and the jihadists for the release of the hostages had stalled. But the latest round of talks appeared to have paid off — albeit it with a stiff price.The Observatory said IS had also demanded the halting of an offensive against them in Sweida.-Jihadists killed-Government forces have battled its fighters in the volcanic plateau of Tulul al-Safa in the east of the province since the July attack.Abdel Rahman said the Syrian Democratic Forces, a Kurdish-led alliance that controls swaths of the north and northeast with the support of a US-led coalition, “should also release some IS detainees” but he did not specify the number.There was no immediate comment from the SDF, which has been taking heavy casualties fighting IS in its last pocket of control in eastern Syria, around the Euphrates valley town of Hajin.On September 10, the group launched a major assault on the pocket where they estimate some 3,000 jihadists are holed up.The battle has killed 414 jihadists and 227 SDF fighters in total since then, the Observatory says.On Saturday, coalition air strikes killed 28 IS fighters in and around Hajin, while another seven jihadists were killed in clashes with the SDF, the monitor said.Coalition air strikes on IS targets in another part of the eastern pocket killed at least 41 civilians, 10 of them children, on Thursday and Friday, it added.A coalition spokesman was not immediately available for comment.Syria’s grinding civil war has claimed more than 360,000 lives since it erupted with the the bloody repression of anti-government protests in 2011.A caliphate which the jihadists proclaimed across large swaths of Syria and neighboring Iraq in 2014 has crumbled in the face of multiple offensives against them but they remain a potent force.
Israeli aircraft fires toward incendiary balloon-launching cell in Gaza-Palestinian media report motorcycle destroyed in strike, which comes as incendiary devices launched from Strip spark 3 blazes in south-By TOI staff-OCT 21,18
A military aircraft fired toward a group of Palestinians on Saturday flying incendiary balloons from the Gaza Strip into Israel, the Israeli army said.There were no reports of injuries. Palestine media outlets said the strike destroyed a motorcycle in southern Gaza.The airstrike came as flaming balloons launched from the coastal enclave started two fires in southern Israel. Firefighters were working to extinguish the blazes, which broke out at the Be’eri and Shokeda forests.Another fire was later sparked in the Kissufim Forest by a burning balloon flown from Gaza, the Ynet news site reported.A spokesman for the Fire and Rescue Services said balloons launched from Gaza started a total of four fires Saturday in the south.Military forces also fired toward a group in Gaza on Friday launching incendiary balloons at Israeli territory as thousands of Palestinians took part in clashes along the border.Though the IDF said a number of explosives and grenades were set off during the clashes and that Palestinians broke through the fence in three locations before immediately returning to the coastal enclave, with soldiers opening fire at the suspects in one case, Israeli defense officials described the demonstrations as some of the quietest since the “March of Return” began on March 30.“Unlike past weeks, most of the rioters remained at a distance and did not try to reach the fence. Hamas acted for restraint on the ground,” the military said, referring to the terror group that rules Gaza.The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said 130 Palestinians were hurt in the clashes, including 77 by live fire.The IDF said some 10,000 people took part in the protests. It sent text messages on Friday to residents of the coastal enclave, warning them not to approach the fence, Palestinians said.The violence broke out despite one of the main organizers of the protests calling on participants on Thursday night to behave nonviolently in the demonstration, following a flareup between Israel and the Hamas that threatened to spark an all-out war.However, Israeli officials believe Hamas has changed its policies regarding the clashes and is working towards curbing violence at the rallies which have become a near-daily occurrence, Hadashot TV news reported Friday.Jerusalem believes the terror group is moderating the demonstrations in order to allow Egyptian mediators a chance to strike a deal between Hamas and Israel for a long-term truce in Gaza, the report said.Meanwhile Haaretz reported that Israeli defense officials wish to respond to the more limited rallies in Gaza on Friday by renewing fuel supplies to the Strip. The officials have said in closed deliberations that Hamas’s efforts to limit the violence should be taken advantage of to create positive momentum towards a calm.Last Friday, Israel halted the transfer of fuel to Gaza in response to heavy rioting and attacks at the border fence.According to the newspaper, security officials hope to renew supplies to Gaza as early as Sunday, to send a positive message to Hamas. It was not clear whether Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman supports such a move. Liberman said last week that Israel would not allow any more fuel into Gaza until violence against Israel was stopped “entirely.”Since March 30, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have participated in a series of protests and riots which have mostly involved the burning of tires and rock-throwing along the security fence, but have also seen shooting attacks and bombings as well as the sending of incendiary balloons and kites into Israel.Some 156 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more have been injured in the clashes with IDF troops, according to AP figures. Hamas, an Islamist terror group that seeks to destroy Israel, has acknowledged that dozens of the dead were its members. One Israeli soldier was shot dead by a sniper on the border earlier this year
Analysis-Both Israel, Hamas tout ‘accomplishments’ in Gaza — but is calm truly possible?-Scaled back border protests have each side claiming progress, but the key issues aren’t going away, and the threat of PA sanctions looms large-By Avi Issacharoff-OCT 21,18
It’s been a long time since both Hamas and Israel appeared satisfied with the outcome of the ongoing protests along the Gaza border, but both sides have been touting their “accomplishments” in Friday’s border events to their respective peoples.In Israel, security officials stressed that the turnout at Friday’s protests was relatively low, and that the demonstrations saw the lowest level of violence in recent months.Officials told Israeli media that in an effort to prevent violence, Hamas had taken measures to deter demonstrators on Friday, and had even stationed guards near the border to stop protesters from breaching the fence.Of course, they said, this didn’t work everywhere, but defense officials noted that it was the quietest protest since the “March of Return” events began earlier this year.This message apparently had two purposes: first, to calm spirits in the Israeli public, where there have been growing calls for a harsher military response to Gaza violence after two rockets were fired from the Strip towards central Israel and at Beersheba earlier this week; and second, and perhaps more importantly, to calm combative cabinet ministers led by Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman — who made sure the press was told he had urged a large-scale military campaign in Gaza, as well as Education Minister Naftali Bennett, whose Jewish Home party has turned the IDF into its punching bag on the way to the next election.On the Palestinian side, meanwhile, Hamas and other factions hailed participants in the protests for continuing the fight to end the Egyptian and Israeli blockade of the territory.Contrary to Israeli reports, media outlets in Gaza reported a relatively high turnout Friday, but Hamas did admit that it had issued instructions to reduce friction with the Israeli military near the border fence — this in accordance with understandings reached with Egyptian mediators working to broker a long-term peace agreement with Israel. (In recent months, Egyptian Intelligence chief Abbas Kamel and UN Middle East peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov have emerged as the key figures working to prevent another war.) In short, both sides are what might be called relatively satisfied. And in the Middle East, where you would be hard-pressed to find more bitter enemies than Israel and Hamas, that is something of a miracle in and of itself.But the problem is that Friday’s events are far from the end of this fight.Just Saturday morning, new attempts were made by Palestinian youths to breach the border in central Gaza. Friday’s “non-violent” protest was a stone’s throw away from potentially becoming another incident with major casualties on the Palestinian side — with all the ramifications that would entail.And had the two rockets fired at Beersheba and central Israel Wednesday morning — the first of which destroyed a home — resulted in casualties, we would, of course, be in a completely different place right now.The big questions remain. None of the reasons that led Hamas, an Islamist terror group that wants to destroy Israel, to launch the protests — the blockade, Palestinian Authority sanctions, rage against the Jewish state — have gone away.First, on the immediate tactical level, will Israel allow resumption of the transfer of Qatari-bought fuel into Gaza as early as Sunday, doubling power for the Strip’s residents from four to eight hours a day? And does Israel intend to take more steps to ease the humanitarian situation according to the UN’s plans? Gazans have understood from Egyptian mediators that the relative quiet of Friday will ensure such steps are taken.And next week an even bigger hurdle will emerge: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is set to convene the PLO’s Central Committee to make a series of major decisions, including the potential complete halt of all PA funds to the Gaza Strip. Such a move would not only have significant implications for the Strip’s economy, but for Israel’s security situation as well.But in the same spirit of cautious optimism that has prevailed over the last 24 hours, perhaps Egyptian pressure will succeed there as well, and Abbas will refrain from taking such drastic action.
Israel delays planned demolition of West Bank Bedouin village-Sources in Netanyahu’s office say decision to push off razing Khan Al-Ahmar to allow more time for talks with residents; Liberman slams move-By Jacob Magid and Alexander Fulbright-TOI-OCT 21,18
Israel on Saturday pushed off the demolition of a Bedouin village in the West Bank whose slated razing has brought international condemnation.Sources in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the delay was to allow more time for talks with residents of Khan Al-Ahmar and to consider proposals regarding the village’s fate.“The intention is to try and exhaust the negotiations and the proposals received from various parties, including in recent days,” the sources said.No date was given on when a decision would be made whether to move ahead with the demolition.The announcement from the Prime Minister’s Office was met with a swift rebuke by Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman.“The decision to delay the clearance of Khan Al-Ahmar was made in complete opposition to the stance of the defense minister and despite his firm objection,” his office said in a statement.Reacting to the news, a Palestinian Authority official said protests at the village would continue until its planned demolition is scrapped altogether.“Our demand is that Israeli authorities cancel the decision to demolish Khan al-Ahmar and allow its residents to remain here. We will be continuing our struggle and sit-in until our demand is achieved,” Walid Assaf, head of the PA’s Commission Against the Wall and Settlements, told The Times of Israel.“We would consider any decision to not demolish the village as positive,” he added.Our demand is that Israeli authorities cancel the decision to demolish Khan al-Ahmar and allow its residents to remain here. We will be continuing are struggle and sit-in until our demand is achieved.”“We would consider any decision to not demolish the village as positive.The bulldozing of Khan Al-Ahmar appeared imminent earlier this week, as detectives called up activists to warn them against carrying out “illegal” activities during the razing of the Palestinian hamlet in the central West Bank.Late last month, the Civil Administration — the Defense Ministry body that regulates construction in the parts of the West Bank fully controlled by Israel — warned residents that if they did not pack up their things and demolish all structures by October 1, Israeli authorities would do so for them.More than two weeks have passed since then and Khan al-Ahmar still stands, but residents as well as a number of defense officials had told The Times of Israel that they expected the razing to take place this past week.In May, the High Court of Justice allowed the state to move forward with its plans to demolish Khan al-Ahmar, which was established illegally without building permits.Attorneys representing the villagers filed several appeals, attempting to cancel or at least delay the razing. Last month, the High Court rejected a final appeal from Khan al-Ahmar residents, and authorities have since been preparing to flatten the hamlet and transfer the residents several miles east near the Palestinian town of Abu Dis, in a move that has drawn international condemnation of Israel.The relocation site is hooked up to water, electricity and sewage and has a school to replace the current Italian-funded institution, which is made of falafel oil and mud-caked tires and has become a symbol for the village.But residents of Khan al-Ahmar — 180 in number, according to the United Nations — have vehemently opposed moving there, saying that they were never consulted, the location is unsuitable for their rural way of life and is next to a garbage dump, and residents of Abu Dis have warned them to stay away.They have similarly been uninterested in a second relocation site proposed to them by the state two months ago adjacent to the nearby settlement of Mitzpe Jericho as well as to a sewage treatment facility.The villagers have argued that they submitted a building plan outline to the Civil Administration, but that it was never considered by the Defense Ministry body nor the High Court before it green-lighted Khan al-Ahmar’s razing.Much of the international community has urged Israel to refrain from evicting the residents of Khan al-Ahmar, arguing that the forced transfer of populations in occupied territory violates international law.Israel argues that the village was built illegally and its homes are dangerously close to a highway, while noting the demolition has been approved by the country’s independent courts.
Australia government loses crucial vote, leaving Israel embassy move in doubt-Result in by-election snuffs out coalition’s one-seat majority, sends country into period of political instability, diminishes prospects of mission relocating to Jerusalem-By AFP and TOI staff-OCT 21,18
Australia’s embattled conservative coalition was dealt a spectacular defeat Saturday in a crucial by-election two months after it turfed out its latest prime minister, sending it into a minority government.The poll in the wealthy Sydney seat of Wentworth was triggered after former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull of the Liberal Party was ousted in the party coup in August — the sixth change of national leaders in the last decade.The result snuffs out the Liberal-National coalition’s one-seat majority and sends the country into yet another period of political instability ahead of national elections that have to be called by mid-May next year.The Australian Electoral Commission said with almost 40 percent of the vote in Wentworth counted, high-profile independent candidate Kerryn Phelps was leading 54.34% compared to 45.66% for the Liberals’ Dave Sharma under Australia’s system of preferential voting.“I think we can say that Kerryn Phelps will win the Wentworth by-election and this has been a pretty bad result for the Liberal Party,” respected veteran analyst Antony Green of national broadcaster ABC said.It is the biggest-ever swing in a by-election against a sitting government.At the heart of voter discontent in the traditional Liberal seat, which was held by Turnbull by an 18% margin, was widespread frustration about the leadership merry-go-round and constant infighting in Canberra.“What we have done is tapped into a sentiment in the Australian people, to talk about the issues that are important to them, not the issues about survival for a particular political party,” Phelps told supporters during her victory speech.“It was said if we won the seat of Wentworth, it would make history, and, my friends, we have made history today.”Turnbull’s successor Scott Morrison told supporters at an evening campaign event for Liberal candidate Dave Sharma as he conceded defeat that his party would keep fighting on.“Liberals are angry and they’ve expressed that,” Morrison said. “The Liberal Party has paid a big price tonight for the events of several months ago. But as a party, we will continue to rise again.”While the result is ominous for the ruling coalition, which is battling poor polls and strong competition from the main Labor opposition party, the wealth of Wentworth also makes the electorate unique.Analysts have told AFP next year’s elections would be more likely to fought in less moneyed marginal seats in outer city suburbs and regional areas, where the focus is on bread and butter issues such as tackling the high cost of living.Voting is compulsory in Australia but the buzz around the polling stations was unusual for Wentworth, with dozens of volunteers from different parties inundating voters with leaflets for their candidates earlier Saturday after polls opened.“I’ve done over 20 elections and this is the first time at [8 a.m.] we’ve had a queue,” Liberal Party volunteer Kevin Berry told national broadcaster ABC. “It’s quite extraordinary the level of interest in the election this time around.”Wentworth resident Roslyn Taylor said she was frustrated with politicians and the chaos that has plagued the main parties in recent years.“None of them have really got their mind on the job. None of them have got their mind on the people — the true needs of the people in terms of education, in terms of health,” she told AFP outside a polling booth at Bondi Beach.The sprawling Sydney constituency takes in the famous beach, as well as the haunts of stars like Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman.The defeat is hugely embarrassing to Morrison, who even floated the idea of moving the Australian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem — upending decades of Australian foreign policy — in an apparent bid to woo Wentworth’s Jewish voters.It was not clear what would become of that plan following the election’s results, but with Morrison now effectively a lame duck prime minister, its prospects appeared diminished.The Palestinian Authority delegation to Australia had lambasted Morrison’s announcement as “deeply disturbing.” In a statement to the Guardian, the delegation warned Canberra that its standing in the Arab Muslim world would be damaged, and urged the government “to seriously consider the consequences of any such move.”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had welcomed Morrison’s announcement, saying in a statement on Tuesday that he was “very thankful” the prime minister was considering the policy change.

Tropical Storm Willa could become hurricane off Mexico coast-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 21, 2018
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Two tropical storms are swirling in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico, and one is forecast to become a hurricane and approach the country's west coast in several days.Tropical Storm Willa is the 21st named storm of the eastern Pacific hurricane season. It was about 255 miles (415 kilometers) south-southwest of the port city of Manzanillo Saturday night with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph).The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Willa would likely become a hurricane on Sunday. It was expected to remain off the coast through late Tuesday, when it could approach Mexico's west-central mainland as a hurricane.Tropical Storm Vicente formed Friday off the coast of the southern state of Chiapas. Its core was about 100 miles (290 kilometers) southeast of Salina Cruz, Mexico late Saturday night. It had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph).The center said it could produce 3 to 6 inches of rain along Mexico's southern Pacific coast and parts of Guatemala.
Tropical Storms Willa, Vicente take aim at Mexican Pacific coast-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 21, 2018
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Willa gained strength on Saturday in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico and is forecast to become a hurricane by Sunday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.The storm was about 280 miles (451 km) southwest of the major port of Manzanillo, and had maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (97 kph). It is likely to reach the coast of western Mexico by Wednesday before it accelerates toward the northeast, the NHC saidAnother tropical storm, Vicente, formed in the Pacific off southern Mexico on Saturday, churning toward the coast but was only expected to strengthen slightly over the next couple of days, Vicente was about 125 miles (201 km) southeast of the port of Salina Cruz, where a major refinery owned by national oil company Pemex is located, with maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour (80 kph).The storm was moving at about 9 miles per hour (14 kph) toward the west and expected to turn northwest early next week and make landfall near the Mexican states of Guerrero and Michoacan as early as Tuesday."Some slight strengthening is possible today and Sunday," the hurricane center said.(Reporting by David Alire Garcia; Editing by Bill Trott and Alistair Bell)
Floods in Qatar as almost a year's rain falls in one day-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-October 21, 2018
Doha (AFP) - Qatar was hit by widespread flash flooding on Saturday as the desert state received almost a year's worth of rainfall in one day.Roads became impassable, air traffic was disrupted and homes were flooded, while shops and universities closed.Qatar broadcaster Al Jazeera's senior meteorologist, Steff Gaulter, tweeted that one part of the capital Doha had experienced almost a year's worth of rain on Saturday."Abu Hamor (a suburb) now reporting 59.8mm. (Doha average annual rainfall is 77mm.)," she wrote.By early evening it was estimated that 61mm of rain had fallen.Qatar Airways was forced to divert some flights, creating logistical headaches, as neighbours Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are among states that do not allow Doha to use their airspace, due to an ongoing diplomatic rift.Some Qatar-bound flights were forced to divert to Kuwait and Iran and the airline warned its passengers to expect further problems."Due to weather conditions over Doha, flights are subject to delays for departure and arrivals," Qatar Airways said on Twitter.Qatar's public works authority issued a warning to drivers to avoid tunnels because of the flooding.Social media in Qatar showed cars almost completely submerged under water, after thunderstorms over Doha.Other footage showed rainwater running downstairs inside buildings as workers desperately tried to mop up.Qatar's National Library, not yet a year old, was forced to close and said it would remain shut on Sunday to ensure the "safety of our users".The US embassy also said it would be closed on Sunday, "due to weather conditions".The extent of the flooding may cause concern for the authorities who have spent billions on major infrastructure projects ahead of hosting the World Cup in 2022.Some sought to downplay the disruption, joking online there was now no need for Saudi Arabia to dig a canal around Qatar -- an apparent threat made by Riyadh as part of the continuing political tensions -- because the flooding had done the neighbouring power's job for it.
