17th MQ-9 downed over Yemen bhai......This is just getting sick for General Atomics. Very bad publicity and the Iranian mystery 358 missile/ LM doing huge damage.

That F-18 downed over the redsea also allegedly fell victim to an Iranian 358 mystery munition.

At $32 million a pop, this is just not sustainable at all:

Hota hai, fog of war.. I think destroyers and other ships don't have an IFF (info friend/foe) Those are only air to air communications between their manned air assets iinw

300 arrested in Syria

Syria's new authorities have arrested nearly 300 people, including informants, pro-regime fighters and former soldiers, in a crackdown on loyalists to ousted former president Bashar al-Assad, a monitor said yesterday.

Since rebels led by the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group toppled Assad three weeks ago, ending more than five decades of family rule, the new authorities in Syria have intensified efforts to consolidate control.

The security forces of the new administration launched a large-scale operation on Thursday against Assad's militias.

"In less than a week, nearly 300 people have been detained in Damascus and its suburbs, as well as in Homs, Hama, Tartus, Latakia and even Deir Ezzor," said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor.

The official Syrian news agency SANA, also reported arrests this week targeting "Assad militia members" in Hama and Latakia provinces, where weapons and ammunition were seized. It did not provide any figures.

Among those arrested, according to the Observatory, were former regime informants, pro-Iranian fighters and lower-ranking military officers accused of killings and torture, Abdel Rahman said.

The Observatory, which is based in Britain, relies on a network of sources across Syria.

Abdel Rahman said that "the campaign is ongoing, but no prominent figures have been arrested" except for General Mohammed Kanjo Hassan, the former head of military justice under Assad, who reportedly oversaw thousands of death sentences following summary trials at Saydnaya prison.

Referring to social media videos showing armed men abusing detainees and even carrying out summary executions, Abdel Rahman said: "Some individuals, including informants, were immediately executed after being detained", he added.​

More than half of Syrian children out of school

About half of school-age children in Syria are missing out on education after nearly 14 years of civil war, Save the Children said on Monday, calling for ‘immediate action’.

About half of school-age children in Syria are missing out on education after nearly 14 years of civil war, Save the Children said on Monday, calling for ‘immediate action’.

The overwhelming majority of Syrian children are also in need of immediate humanitarian assistance including food, the charity said, with at least half of them requiring psychological help to overcome war trauma.

‘Around 3.7 million children are out of school and they require immediate action to reintegrate them in school,’ Rasha Muhrez, the charity’s Syria director, said in an interview from the capital Damascus, adding ‘this is more than half of the children at school age’.

While Syrians have endured more than a decade of conflict, the rapid rebel offensive that toppled president Bashar al-Assad on December 8 caused further disruption, with the UN reporting more than 7,00,000 people newly displaced.

‘Some of the schools were used as shelters again due to the new wave of displaced people,’ Muhrez said.

The war, which began in 2011 after Assad’s brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters, has devastated Syria’s economy and public infrastructure leaving many children vulnerable.

Muhrez said ‘about 7.5 million children are in need of immediate humanitarian assistance’.

‘We need to make sure the children can come back to education, to make sure that they have access again to health, to food and that they are protected,’ Muhrez said.

‘Children were deprived of their basic rights including access to education, to healthcare, to protection, to shelter,’ by the civil war, but also natural disasters and economic crises, she said.

Syria’s war spiralled rapidly from 2011 into a major civil conflict that has killed more than 5,00,000 people and displaced millions.

More than one in four Syrians now live in extreme poverty according to the World Bank, with the deadly February 2023 earthquake bringing more misery.

Many children who grew up during the war have been traumatised by the violence, said Muhrez.

‘This had a huge impact, a huge traumatic impact on them, for various reasons, for losses: a parent, a sibling, a friend, a house,’ she said.

According to Save the Children, around 6.4 million children are in need of psychological help.

Muhrez also warned that ‘continued coercive measures and sanctions on Syria have the largest impact on the Syrian people themselves’.

Syria has been under strict Western sanctions aimed at Assad’s government, including from the United States and European Union, since early in the war.

On Sunday, Syria’s de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa expressed hope that the incoming administration of US president-elect Donald Trump would lift sanctions.

‘It’s very difficult for us to continue responding to the needs and to reach people in need with limited resources with these restrictive measures,’ she said.​

How sad it is particularly to read about the conditions of children. Behind all such ruining of nations, there is only one nation and that is America. Biggest evil of planet.

America's foreign policy makes it an evil.
