EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will
bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them
clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and
shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6
Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of
the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with
thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and
prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto
thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be
visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is
brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against
the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of
them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a
cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with
thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that
at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think
an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of
unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell
safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor
gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand
upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people
that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and
goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and
the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say
unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company
to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and
goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY
RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man,
prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my
people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And
thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many
people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a
mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel,
as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I
will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I
shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my
servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many
years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to
pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,
saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in
my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken,
Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20
So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth,
and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my
presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places
shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will
call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord
GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will
plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with
blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many
people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones,
fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS

23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I
will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am
the LORD.
EZEKIEL 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man,
prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am
against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 And I
will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION
RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up
from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy
bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the
people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of
every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6
And I will send a fire (ATOMIC BOMB) on Magog, and among them that
dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and
I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen
shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9
And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall
set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the
bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall
burn them with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood
out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they
shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that
spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a
place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the
east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and
there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it
The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to
them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14
And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through
the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of
the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they
search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any
seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers
have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17
And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves,
and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do
sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel,
that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of
the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams,
of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall
see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon
them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity
for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I
my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so
fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity
of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be
jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame,
and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when
they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I
have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their
enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to
be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto
their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my
spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Liberal, NDP MPs to travel to West Bank to connect with Palestinians-Sun, January 14, 2024 at 6:00 a.m. EST
Five
Canadian MPs are set to begin a week-long visit to Jordan and the West
Bank today to meet with Palestinian refugees and progressive Israeli
groups.The group of MPs landing in Amman, Jordan's capital, includes
Liberal MPs Salma Zahid and Shafqat Ali and New Democrat MPs Heather
McPherson (the party's foreign affairs critic), Matthew Green and
Lindsay Mathyssen."What we have seen in the last three months is that it
is a humanitarian crisis, and the situation also in the West Bank has
been worsening," Zahid, chair of the Canada–Palestine Parliamentary
Friendship Group, told CBC News prior to the MPs' departure."I think it
is really good to be on the ground to see, and to talk to some of the
impacted families."The trip is sponsored travel paid for by Canadian
Muslim Vote, a registered non-profit Muslim charity.In October, Zahid
spearheaded an effort to get MPs across party lines to sign a letter
demanding that the Canadian government call for a ceasefire in the war
between Israel and Hamas.Twenty-two other Liberal MPs initially signed
the letter — the first sign of fracture in the government caucus over
Canada's position on the war.Canada voted for a ceasefire at the UN
General Assembly in December, just days after CBC News reported a group
representing Muslim donors had left the Liberal Party of Canada's
highest donor rank."I think it is important that Canada is known as a
peacemaker, a peace-builder. So Canada should be a strong voice for a
ceasefire in that region, to make sure that we put an end to the killing
of innocent Palestinian people," Zahid said."This region is in chaos
and Canada needs to play a role, working with our allies," said
McPherson."I think what this trip allows us to do is ... speak with some
authority, because we will be on the ground. We will speak with
progressive Israeli organizations who are calling for peace."A
preliminary itinerary the group released to CBC News mentions stops in
Jordan and Ramallah in the central West Bank to speak with "affected"
Palestinian communities, along with visits to refugee camps.The West
Bank has not seen the same volume of media coverage as Gaza, the main
theater of conflict since October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched an attack
that saw it kill 1,200 Israeli civilians and take 240 hostages.Since
then, the Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza has estimated Israel has
killed some 23,000 Palestinians in retaliatory military actions.The
Canadian government lists Hamas as a terrorist organization. Canada does
have a diplomatic presence in the West Bank, which is administered by
the Palestinian Authority, a different political entity that is
recognized by the United Nations as the only representative Palestinian
governing body.On Friday, Israel said it had killed three Palestinian
men who infiltrated a settlement in the West Bank.The news wire service
Reuters has reported that Israeli forces have killed hundreds of
Palestinians in the West Bank and have arrested thousands since Oct.
7.In December, the Canadian government joined 13 other countries,
including the United Kingdom, France and the European Union, in calling
on Israel to do more to stop "extremist settler violence" against
Palestinians.The United States has also imposed travel bans on extremist
settlers associated with acts of violence.Ali, the Liberal MP for
Brampton-Centre, and Mathyssen, the NDP MP for London-Fanshawe, said
they have heard from constituents alarmed by the humanitarian crisis on
the ground.Ali said he wants to "meet with those non-governmental
organization individuals who are working on the ground to have knowledge
and perspective on how we can assist Palestinians in basically
rebuilding. If you see it by yourself, you can talk about it with more
clarity."Mathyssen said she is going "to hear the stories, to see for
ourselves what's going on on the ground, to meet with key organizations
that are providing humanitarian aid."Second MP trip to Middle East since
conflict erupted-This trip is the second by a group of Canadian MPs to
the Middle East since Oct. 7.In November, two Liberal and three
Conservative MPs travelled to Israel to meet with survivors of Hamas's
deadly attack and family members of those killed. That trip was
sponsored by the Canadian group United Jewish Appeal.At the time, the
National Council of Canadian Muslims and Canadians for Justice and Peace
in the Middle East suggested it would have been fair for those MPs to
meet with Palestinians as well.The MPs visiting the West Bank this week
say they're not worried about appearing one-sided."I am going there to
that region as [a] member of Parliament and as the chair of the
Canada–Palestine Parliamentary Friendship Group. I think it is really
very important that I visit the region," said Zahid."It's very important
to me that I am hearing from Jewish organizations, that I am meeting
with Jewish representatives that can talk to us about their calls for
peace," McPherson said.
Visiting Egypt, China’s FM calls for
Palestinian state, Israel-Hamas ceasefire-Along with counterpart Sameh
Shoukry, Wang Yi urges international peace conference; discusses with
Sissi the need to immediately end fighting to prevent spillover to new
fronts-By AFP 14 January 2024, 11:39 pm 0
CAIRO, Egypt — China’s
Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Sunday called for the establishment of a
Palestinian state and a ceasefire in Gaza, where 100 days of the
Israel-Hamas war have killed thousands.In a press conference with his
Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry in Cairo, the top Chinese diplomat
said: “It is necessary to insist on the establishment of an independent,
fully sovereign state of Palestine on the 1967 borders, with East
Jerusalem as its capital.”A joint statement from the two ministers urged
an immediate end “to all acts of violence, killing, and targeting of
civilians and civilian establishments.”Wang additionally discussed the
conflict with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, according to
Chinese state media Xinhua, with both sides agreeing a ceasefire “should
be achieved as soon as possible to prevent the conflict from further
spilling over.”The war broke out when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists
invaded Israel on October 7, murdering some 1,200 people, mostly
civilians butchered in their homes and at a music festival, and
kidnapping over 240 to Gaza, prompting an Israeli military campaign
aimed at vanquishing Hamas and returning the hostages.The Hamas-run
health ministry has said at least 23,968 Palestinians have been killed
in Gaza, though the figure cannot be independently verified and is
believed to include both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza,
some as a consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires. The IDF
says it has killed over 9,000 operatives in Gaza, in addition to some
1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.Shoukry and Wang called for
“an international summit for peace to find a just, comprehensive, and
lasting solution to the Palestinian cause by ending the occupation and
establishing an independent, contiguous Palestinian state.”The Gaza
Strip has been ruled by Hamas since it took over in a bloody coup in
2007, while the West Bank is the seat of the Palestinian Authority,
Hamas’s rivals. Both were seized by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War,
although Israel unilaterally withdrew the last of its troops and
settlers from Gaza in 2005. It later imposed a blockade on the Strip,
aimed at isolating Hamas and preventing the terror group from
arming.Chinese President Xi Jinping has previously called for an
“international peace conference” to resolve the fighting.China has
historically been sympathetic to the Palestinian cause and supportive of
a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Wang is
currently on an African tour that will see him also visit Togo, Tunisia,
and Ivory Coast.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
2,000
projectiles fired from Lebanon, some 30 from Syria-The war in numbers:
9,000 Hamas members killed, 11,000+ rockets fired into Israel-After 100
days of war, IDF data says dozens of Hamas commanders slain, 30,000
targets struck in Gaza; more than 170 terrorists in Lebanon killed, over
750 Hezbollah posts hit-By Emanuel Fabian 14 January 2024, 10:08 pm 8
The
Israel Defense Forces on Sunday published a large data set with
information on its operations in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and
Lebanon, from the number of terror operatives killed to the number of
sites struck, as the country marked 100 days of war against Palestinian
terror group Hamas.According to the data, more than 9,000 Hamas
operatives and members of other terror groups have been killed by the
IDF in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war, in addition to
some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7, when gunmen rampaged
through southern communities massacring some 1,200 people, mostly
civilians, and abducting over 240 to Gaza.The Hamas-run health ministry
has said over 23,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, though the
figure cannot be independently verified and is believed to include both
civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza, including as a consequence
of terror groups’ own rocket misfires.The IDF’s data said the military
has killed two Hamas brigade commanders as well as 19 battalion
commanders and other senior officials with an equivalent rank. More than
50 Hamas company commanders and operatives with a similar rank have
also been killed, according to the data.In Lebanon, the IDF said it has
killed more than 170 terror operatives, mostly members of the
Iran-backed Hezbollah.Some 30,000 targets have been struck in the Gaza
Strip since the beginning of the war, including more than 3,400 that
were discovered as Hamas sites during the fighting. In Lebanon, some 750
Hezbollah positions have been hit, according to the IDF’s data.Since
the beginning of the war, some 9,000 projectiles fired from Gaza crossed
the border into Israel, alongside 2,000 from Lebanon, and around 30
from Syria. These figures do not include rockets — said by Israel to be
at least in the hundreds — launched by Gazan terror groups that misfired
and landed in the Strip.The IDF said the Military Intelligence
Directorate’s Unit 504 has interrogated some 2,300 Palestinian suspects
in the Gaza Strip, some of whom were arrested and brought to Israel for
further questioning.A total of 7,653 trucks ferrying humanitarian aid
entering the Gaza Strip have been inspected by Israeli authorities at
the Nitzana and Kerem Shalom crossings. The IDF said the trucks have
carried a total of 137,920 tons of aid.The IDF has also made 79,000
phone calls, dropped 7.2 million leaflets, and sent 13.7 million texts
and 15 million recorded calls to Palestinians in Gaza with evacuation
warnings.Since October 7, in the West Bank, the IDF said troops have
arrested more than 2,650 wanted Palestinians, including more than 1,300
affiliated with Hamas. It said 40 brigade-level raids have been carried
out, and 14 homes of Palestinians accused of terrorism have been
demolished.According to the IDF’s data, a total of 295,000 reservists
have been called up since the beginning of the war. Of them, around
45,000 are serving despite receiving an exemption from reserve duty.The
IDF said the nearly 300,000 reservists have been on duty for an average
of 61 days.Men make up 81 percent of the reservists, with the other 19%
women. 115,000 of the reservists are fathers, and some 3,000 are
mothers. Half of the reservists are between the ages of 20-29, with 31%
being between the ages of 30-39. Another 13% are aged 40-49, 5% aged
50-59, and 1% aged 60-69.A total of 522 soldiers, reservists and local
security officers have been killed and another 2,536 have been wounded
since October 7. Of them, 188 were killed and 1,113 were wounded during
the ground offensive in Gaza, the latest being Sgt. First Class (res.)
Andu’alem Kabeda, 21, who was killed fighting in the southern part of
the enclave Saturday.Kabeda was from the southern town of Kiryat Gat and
served in the Combat Engineering Corps’ 603rd Battalion.The IDF also
listed 19 soldiers killed due to friendly fire in Gaza, and another 36
by accidents during the war, including car crashes and military-related
incidents.

continue-By Agencies and ToI Staff 14 January 2024, 9:56 pm 2
All
of the violence in the Middle East is connected to Israel’s war against
Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah terror group leader Hassan Nasrallah
said on Sunday in comments directed at the United States.In a televised
address, Nasrallah charged that envoys sent to Lebanon have been
seeking to “extinguish” the front by delivering a warning that if the
group did not stop its attacks, “Israel would launch a war on
Lebanon.”He did not identify the envoys, and reiterated that the aim of
the Lebanon front is to “stop the aggression against Gaza.” Nasrallah,
whose group is a leading part of an Iran-aligned regional alliance which
includes the Houthi rebels, said the Yemeni-based group’s targeting of
ships belonging to Israel or heading to its ports would continue.“The
more dangerous thing is what the Americans did in the Red Sea,” he said,
saying this “will harm the security of all maritime navigation, even
the ships that are not going to Palestine, even the ships which are not
Israeli, even the ships that have nothing to do with the matter, because
the sea has become a theater of fighting, missiles, drones and
warships. Security has been disrupted.”US and British forces on Friday
launched dozens of airstrikes against Houthi forces in retaliation for
attacks on Red Sea shipping. The group says it took the action to
support Palestinians in Gaza. Washington launched another strike
overnight Friday-Saturday.The war in Gaza began on October 7, when some
3,000 Hamas terrorists burst across the border into Israel from the Gaza
Strip by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing over
240 hostages — mostly civilians — under the cover of a deluge of
thousands of rockets fired at Israeli towns and cities.The Houthis say
their strikes are in solidarity with the people of Gaza, where the
Hamas-run health ministry says nearly 24,000 people have been killed in
the conflict. These figures cannot be independently verified, and are
believed to include both Hamas terrorists and civilians, and people
killed as a consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires. Israel
says it has killed over 9,000 Hamas members, in addition to 1,000 killed
in Israel following the October 7 invasion.In December, the US
announced a multi-nation coalition to quell the Houthi missile and drone
attacks on ships transiting the Red Sea.Nasrallah said the US should
understand “that the security of the Red Sea and calm on Lebanon’s
front, the situation in Iraq, and all developments in the region are
tied to one thing: stopping the aggression against Gaza.”“You are trying
to deal with the consequences and the results, go fix the reason,” he
said.Nasrallah was speaking to commemorate the death of a top Hezbollah
commander, Wissam Tawil, who was killed in south Lebanon last week, the
most senior Hezbollah commander to die in three months of hostilities
with Israel.Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli
communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis,
with the group repeatedly saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the
war there.
So far, the skirmishes have resulted in six civilian
deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of nine IDF soldiers
and reservists.There have also been several attacks from Syria, without
any injuries.
Hezbollah has named 161 members who have been killed by
Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon, but also some
in Syria. In Lebanon, another 19 operatives from other terror groups, a
Lebanese soldier, and at least 19 civilians, three of whom were
journalists, have been killed.
Houthi capabilities dented but
largely left intact after US-led strikes — report-US officials tell New
York Times analysts are struggling to find targets to strike, with
Yemeni rebels having hidden much of their weaponry and still able to
threaten shipping-By ToI Staff and Agencies Today, 11:43 am-JAN 14,24
US
and British military strikes on Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen over
the weekend largely left intact most of the Iran-backed rebel group’s
ability to fire at maritime traffic in the Red Sea, according to a
report Saturday.Two waves of US-led strikes Friday hit more than 60
targets in 28 locations in response to weeks of attacks on commercial
vessels traversing a vital strait near the mouth of the Red Sea. Another
missile attack on Saturday was described as “follow-on action” by the
US Central Command.Citing two US officials, The New York Times reported
Saturday that the volleys had degraded some 20 to 30 percent of the
Houthi’s offensive capabilities, with much of the rest hidden and out of
danger.According to the officials, who were not named, some 90% of the
sites targeted were damaged or destroyed.
The attacks came after
weeks of threats by Washington and London that they could take action
against the Houthis in response to dozens of drone and missile attacks
on ships moving through the southern Red Sea, including assaults on
warships sent to protect commercial vessels. The rebel group began the
attacks in support of the Hamas terror group, which Israel is battling
in Gaza.While largely ineffective, according to Western officials, the
Houthi attacks led many of the world’s largest shippers to avoid the
waterway and instead sail around Africa, sending costs soaring and
disrupting global trade. It’s unclear if shipping firms will again feel
safe using the waterway with much of the Houthis’ capabilities
intact.Ahead of the attacks, Houthis moved or hid much of their
offensive capabilities, which are largely mounted on mobile carriers.US
Air Forces Central Command said the strikes focused on the Houthis’
command and control nodes, munition depots, launching systems,
production facilities and air defense radar systems. The strikes
involved more than 150 precision-guided munitions including air-launched
missiles by F/A-18 Super Hornets based on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower,
and Tomahawk missiles from the Navy destroyers USS Gravely and USS
Mason, the Navy cruiser USS Philippine Sea, and a US submarine.The
United Kingdom said strikes hit a site in Bani allegedly used by the
Houthis to launch drones and an airfield in Abbs used to launch cruise
missiles and drones.“I know we have degraded capability. I don’t
believe that they would be able to execute the same way they did the
other day,” Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims, director of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, said Saturday, referring to a complex missile and drone attack
carried out by the Houthis on January 9.White House spokesperson John
Kirby said the initial strikes had hit the Houthis’ ability to store,
launch and guide missiles or drones.The attacks killed at least five
people and wounded six, the Houthis said, vowing to retaliate.According
to the officials quoted by The New York Times, the US and other
intelligence agencies in the West have had a tougher time than predicted
finding sites to target, after years in which data collection on Yemen
was largely not a main priority.The officials said US analysts have been
scrambling to find sites to target.The US said the first wave of
strikes targeted 16 sites, and the second wave another 12 sites that
were identified during and immediately after those attacks.According to
the Times report, the site struck Saturday was a “reattack” of a site
hit early Friday morning.Saudi Arabia, which fought a years-long war in
Yemen in support of the government-in-exile that the Houthis are
fighting, has sought to distance itself from the attacks as it seeks to
maintain a delicate détente with Iran and a ceasefire it has in Yemen.
IDF:
Troops kill three-man terror cell infiltrating from Lebanon; 5 soldiers
hurt-Incident at Mount Dov comes amid repeated attacks led by Hezbollah
on northern Israel-By Emanuel Fabian Today, 9:48 am-JAN 14,24
Three
gunmen who infiltrated into Israeli territory from Lebanon before dawn
on Sunday were killed by Israeli troops, the military said. Medical
officials said five soldiers were wounded in the incident.In a
statement, the Israel Defense Forces said the terror cell was spotted by
troops carrying out a patrol in the contested Mount Dov region on the
border.The gunmen were thought to have managed to cross the border
initially undetected due to heavy fog covering the mountain. There is no
border fence in the Mount Dov area, also known as Shebaa Farms — an
area claimed by Lebanon — which houses several military positions and no
towns.The soldiers heard gunfire near them during their patrol and
engaged the suspects.An exchange of fire took place, during which
artillery and mortars were also launched to assist the Israeli troops,
the IDF said, adding that all three gunmen were killed.Rambam Hospital
in Haifa said five soldiers were admitted to the medical center
following the gun battle.It said two of the soldiers were listed in
good-to-moderate condition, and three were lightly hurt.There was no
immediate claim of responsibility, though the incident comes amid
repeated attacks by Lebanon’s Hezbollah and allied Palestinian terror
groups on the border in recent months.On Saturday, the IDF said it
carried out a wave of airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in southern
Lebanon in response to attacks on the border.The sites struck by fighter
jets in Meiss Ej Jabal and Yarine included various infrastructure used
by the terror group, according to the IDF.Several projectiles were fired
by Hezbollah at northern Israel on Saturday, including one missile that
hit a home in the border community of Shtula.On Friday night, the IDF
said, it struck three terror cells in southern Lebanon, which were
preparing to carry out attacks on northern Israel.An attack helicopter
targeted two cells in southern Lebanon’s Marwahin, and special forces
and artillery struck an anti-tank missile squad in Yaroun, the IDF
said.Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli
communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis,
with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid Israel’s war
with the Hamas terror group there.So far, the skirmishes on the border
have resulted in four civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as
the deaths of nine IDF soldiers. There have also been several attacks
from Syria, without any injuries.Hezbollah has named 161 members who
have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in
Lebanon but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 19 operatives from
other terror groups — including Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad —
along with a Lebanese soldier and at least 19 civilians, three of whom
were journalists, have been killed.
No votes for Genocide Joe’:
Thousands demand ceasefire at DC pro-Palestinian protest-Progressive
participants split on whether they will support US president against
Trump in November election due to his support for Israel in war against
Hamas-By Agencies Today, 2:08 am-JAN 14,24
WASHINGTON — Thousands
of demonstrators converged opposite the White House on Saturday to call
for an end to Israeli military action against Hamas, as part of a
global day of action against the war in Gaza.People in the capital held
aloft signs questioning US President Joe Biden’s viability as a
presidential candidate because of his staunch support for Israel in the
nearly 100-day war against Hamas. Some of the signs read: “No votes for
Genocide Joe,” “Biden has blood on his hands” and “Let Gaza live.”The US
and Israel have rejected calls for a ceasefire, noting that it would
leave in place the Hamas leadership that presided over the October 7
terror onslaught and that has pledged to repeatedly carry out such
attacks until Israel is dismantled. Some 1,200 Israelis — mostly
civilians — were brutally murdered in the surprise October 7 assault and
another roughly 240 were taken hostage in the deadliest attack in the
country’s history and the deadliest for Jews since the Holocaust.Vendors
in Washington were also selling South African flags as protesters
chanted slogans in support of the country whose accusations of genocide
against Israel prompted the International Court of Justice in the Hague,
Netherlands, to take up the case.The US has dismissed the genocide
allegation as “meritless,” noting that Hamas is the side with genocidal
aims and that South Africa’s case distracts from serious efforts aimed
at both limiting civilian casualties while maintaining Israel’s right to
defend itself.Dan Devries, a New York resident, said he attended the
protest because he wants to see a free Gaza, but that he wouldn’t vote
for either Biden or possible Republican presidential nominee Donald
Trump.“I see this war as part of the US’s drive to offset its economic
decline by engaging in continual war,” claimed Devries.Washington
resident Phil Kline held up a sign calling for Pope Francis to
excommunicate Biden.“I know he’s a devout Catholic. Maybe he will take
this issue seriously when the pope removes him from the church. There’s
no justification for bombing civilians,” Kline said, though he added he
still intends to vote for Biden in the November elections.In DC, a
protester waved a picture of the spokesperson of the military wing of
Hamas. Why on earth would that happen? I often don't blame folks in the
arab world for supporting Hamas due to the lack of access to
information, but here in the US, we have no excuses.Not only did…

2024-Biden has previously described Israel’s bombing campaign as
“indiscriminate,” and said on Monday he had been working “quietly” with
the Israeli government to encourage it to reduce its attacks and
“significantly get out of Gaza.”Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of the
anti-war group CodePink, told The Associated Press that the moniker
“Genocide Joe” will stick with Biden for a certain segment of the
community because of his handling of the war in Gaza.“I think the
Democrats are playing with fire in many ways — playing with fire in that
they’re supporting a genocide in Gaza but also playing with fire in
terms of their own future,” Benjamin said.Jake and Ida Braford, a young
couple from Richmond, Virginia, who brought their two small children to
the protest, said they were unsure of whether to vote for Biden in
November.“We’re pretty disheartened,” Ida Braford said. “Seeing what is
happening in Gaza, and the government’s actions makes me wonder what is
our vote worth?”The plight of children in the Gaza Strip was the focus
of a huge march in London on Saturday, symbolized by the appearance of
Little Amal, a 3.5-meter (11.5-foot) puppet originally meant to
highlight the suffering of Syrian refugees.The puppet had become a human
rights emblem during an 8,000-kilometer (4,970-mile) journey from the
Turkish-Syrian border to Manchester in July 2001.Officers have located
the group distributing these leaflets.Three people have been arrested on
suspicion of showing support for a proscribed organisation which is an
offence under the Terrorism Act. https://t.co/UALNBVJpV4— Metropolitan
Police (@metpoliceuk) January 13, 2024-Nearly two-thirds of the 23,843
people killed during Israel’s campaign in Gaza have been women and
children, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory.
These figures cannot be independently verified, and are believed to
include both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza, including as a
consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires. The IDF says it has
killed over 8,500 operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000
terrorists inside Israel on October 7.Israeli says it makes efforts to
avoid civilian casualties, but that these are unavoidable in a war
against a terror group operating from within the civilian population,
using innocents as human shields.March organizers had said the
Palestinian children would accompany Little Amal through the streets of
central London.“On Saturday Amal walks for those most vulnerable and for
their bravery and resilience,“ said Amir Nizar Zuabi, artistic director
of The Walk Productions. “Amal is a child and a refugee and today in
Gaza childhood is under attack, with an unfathomable number of children
killed. Childhood itself is being targeted. That’s why we walk.”A
pro-Israel rally was set to take place in London on Sunday.The London
march was one of several others being held in European cities including
Paris, Rome, Milan and Dublin, where thousands also marched along the
Irish capital’s main thoroughfare to protest Israel’s military
operations against Hamas.Protesters waved Palestinian flags, held
placards critical of the Irish, US and Israeli governments and chanted,
“Free, free Palestine.″In Rome, hundreds of demonstrators descended on a
boulevard near the famous Colosseum, with some carrying signs reading,
“Stop Genocide.”At one point during the protest, amid the din of sound
effects mimicking exploding bombs, a number of demonstrators lied down
in the street and pulled white sheets over themselves as if they were
corpses, while others knelt beside them, their palms daubed in red
paint.Many hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Paris’ Republic Square
to set off on a march calling for an immediate cease-fire, an end to the
war, a lifting of the blockade on Gaza and to impose sanctions on
Israel.Marching protesters waved the Palestinian flag and held aloft
placards and banners reading, “From Gaza to Paris. Resistance.”Times of

Plotted to attack
Israel's embassy in Sweden-Israel says it uncovered Hamas terror network
planning attacks in Europe-Mossad and Shin Bet release details on
group’s attempts to attack Jewish and Israeli targets, say slain Hamas
leaders in Lebanon helmed the efforts-By Lazar Berman 13 January 2024,
8:33 pm 8
Hamas runs a network of operatives in Europe commanded
by terror leaders in Lebanon, Israel said Saturday as its intelligence
agencies released new details on the Gaza-based organization’s attempts
to attack Israeli and Jewish targets abroad.Most of the group’s
Lebanon-based commanders, including Saleh al-Arouri and Khalil Harraz,
were killed in airstrikes in recent weeks attributed to Israel, as
Jerusalem pursues Hamas in Gaza and beyond.Hamas cells in Denmark,
Germany and Holland were arrested in December on suspicion of plotting
to attack Jewish targets in Europe.According to a statement released
Saturday by the Prime Minister’s Office, Israel’s Mossad and Shin Bet
agencies in cooperation with foreign partners have been able to build a
“comprehensive and in-depth” picture of Hamas’s efforts to carry out
attacks in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.The PMO said Israel has
uncovered “details on theaters of operation, terror targets, and on
those involved in carrying out attacks — from Hamas commanders in
Lebanon to the last of the attackers in the operational
infrastructure.”It did not provide many further details on these
findings, but said the network had been planning to attack Israel’s
embassy in Sweden, buy UAVs and utilize criminal organizations in Europe
to support attacks.Arouri, wanted for years by Israel and seen as the
prime orchestrator of Hamas’s West Bank terrorism, was killed earlier
this month in a strike in the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh. Lebanon’s
state-run National News Agency said the blast was carried out by an
Israeli drone.Israeli officials declined to comment. Unnamed US
officials told The New York Times and Washington Post that Israel was
responsible.Israel has vowed to target all leaders of Hamas after the
terror group’s devastating October 7 attack on Israel that killed some
1,200 people, mostly civilians, and saw the abduction of over 240
others.In late October, in response to the massacres, Israel launched a
large-scale offensive in the Gaza Strip with the stated goal of
destroying Hamas. The fighting is ongoing, with the Strip’s north
largely under Israeli control, while intensive battles continue in the
south and center.Harraz, deputy commander of Hamas’s military wing in
Lebanon, was killed in a November strike in Lebanon also attributed to
Israel.On Friday, Danish police said that seven people suspected of
involvement in a planned terror attack foiled by authorities in December
had links to Hamas. Police said on December 14 that they had arrested
three people in Denmark suspected of planning a “terror” attack, but
provided no other details.The prosecutor’s statement appeared to back up
comments by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said on
December 14 that Denmark’s security forces had “thwarted an attack, the
goal of which was to kill innocent civilians on European soil.“The Hamas
terrorist organization has been working relentlessly and exhaustively
to expand its lethal operations to Europe, and thereby constitutes a
threat to the domestic security of these countries,” Netanyahu said then
of the apparent plot against Jewish or Israeli targets.Danish Justice
Minister Peter Hummelgaard said Friday that the alleged connection to
Hamas “confirms that the threat against Denmark is serious, but luckily
we have a strong police and intelligence service doing their best to
protect us every day.”In December, Israel updated travel warnings for
dozens of countries, amid rising antisemitism and threats of violence
against Israelis and Jews around the world as its war against Hamas in
Gaza continues, sparked by the terror group’s October 7 massacres.
Netanyahu:
Move is one possibility, no decision made-Israel said to tell Egypt of
plan to take control of border corridor with Gaza-According to Wall
Street Journal, Jerusalem plans to reassert control of Philadelphi
Route, which it has not controlled since 2005-By ToI Staff 13 January
2024, 7:06 pm 14
Israel has informed Egypt of plans to launch a
military operation to take control of the border between the Gaza Strip
and Egypt, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.Citing Israeli and
Egyptian officials, the report said such an operation was expected to
see Israel take the Rafah border crossing and station forces along the
so-called Philadelphi Corridor separating Egypt and Gaza.Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said last month that the Philadelphi Corridor, which
runs for 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) all along the Gaza-Egypt border, “has
to be in our hands” in order to ensure that Gaza is and remains
demilitarized, to prevent weapons from being smuggled through tunnels
into the coastal enclave.Israel controlled the Corridor until it
evacuated Gaza in 2005.The Wall Street Journal said the operation has
not yet gotten the all-clear from Israeli leaders, and the timing will
depend on talks with the Egyptian government as the latter works to
broker a new hostage deal between Israel and Hamas.Israeli officials
have reportedly sought to allay Egyptian concerns that such an operation
could result in an accidental spillover of fighting to Egypt, or that
it could breach the limits on positioning troops in the area that are
part of the 1979 peace treaty between the countries.The newspaper said
Egypt had rejected an Israeli proposal to have Israeli troops conduct
joint patrols on the Egyptian side of the border, but that Cairo had
said it was working to install barriers and increase surveillance in the
area to tackle Israeli security concerns.“Israel does not want to be
responsible for Gaza in the long term, but the question is how do you
make sure that Gaza stays demilitarized?” an unnamed senior Israeli
military official was quoted as saying. “It’s a real dilemma. The only
way to control a geographic area is to control what’s going in and
out.”“Right now in the near term, in the next few decades, Israel needs
to control the borders because of the security issues,” the official
added.Asked about the reports Saturday during a press conference, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu replied that this was “one possibility for
what I call a southern barrier.”“We will not end the war without closing
this breach. Otherwise we will not eliminate Hamas, we will not
demilitarize Gaza and then more weapons will enter through this southern
breach. Obviously we need to to close it. There are several options and
we have not yet made a decision,” he said.On Thursday, Channel 13
reported that a senior IDF officer had returned to Israel from Egypt
after holding talks relating to the ongoing war, and had asked Cairo to
agree to Israeli presence on the Philadelphi Corridor after the
war.Citing unnamed senior security figures, the network said that the
discussions in Egypt dealt with increasing the amount of humanitarian
aid that enters Gaza, as well as the future of the Corridor.Egyptian
lawmaker Mustafa Bakri roundly criticized Netanyahu’s comments on
controlling the Philadelphi Corridor as an attack on Egyptian
sovereignty and a violation of the peace treaty between Israel and
Egypt.After reports that Jerusalem and Cairo were cooperating on the
matter of the Philadelphi Route, an unnamed Egyptian government official
told Egyptian media outlets on Monday that the reports were
“categorically false.”During a summit in the Jordanian city of Aqaba on
Wednesday, Egypt’s President Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi, along with Jordan’s
King Abdullah and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, warned
against any Israeli reoccupation of the Gaza Strip after the war,
although he didn’t make any direct reference to the Philadelphi
Corridor.A statement released by the three leaders at the end of the
summit confirmed “a complete rejection of any attempt to reoccupy parts
of Gaza, and the need to enable its people to return to their homes.”

CBC-Maria, Que. declares state of emergency amid snow, floods-Sat, January 13, 2024 at 5:51 p.m. EST
The
municipality of Maria, Que., in the Gaspésie region declared a state of
emergency early Saturday afternoon due to strong winds and high tides
that could lead to coastal flooding.Residents of des Tournepierres and
des Pluviers streets, which are most at risk, were given voluntary
evacuation notices.Firefighters and police officers met with affected
citizens to inform them of the notice. The community centre is open to
citizens in need, and transportation is available.This is the second
state of emergency declared in Maria in less than a week. Almost a metre
of water accumulated on Rue des Tournepierres due to heavy coastal
surges Wednesday.Although people aren't being forced to depart, Maria's
mayor, Jean-Claude Landry, is urging residents at risk to leave their
properties."We're asking people to co-operate, because we wouldn't want
people not to get out," said Landry.As a precautionary measure, the
municipality cut off sewer services for 48 hours.'You have to be
realistic' The most vulnerable homes are built on a sand spit in the
delta of the Rivière Verte, northeast of the municipality.Coastal
flooding there is common during high tides."Having your coffee in front
of the Baie-des-Chaleurs, when it's calm, is wonderful. And I understand
people [wanting to stay], except that at some point there are risks and
you have to be realistic," said Landry.Landry said discussions with
public safety officials are ongoing.Last November, at an information
meeting attended by 70 people, the mayor estimated that a third of the
residents present were considering leaving the area and taking advantage
of financial assistance from Quebec City to relocate.Environment Canada
is forecasting up to 30 centimetres of snow for Baie-des-Chaleurs, the
tip of the Gaspé Peninsula and Murdochville on Saturday. Weather
conditions are expected to improve later tonight.Gusts of up to 90 km/h

emergency power alert underlines challenge of energy transition on
Prairies-Flexibility needed in regulations to decarbonize the country’s
electricity grids, says energy economist
Jim Brown · CBC News · Posted: Jan 14, 2024 4:52 PM EST |
Saturday
evening's emergency alert from the province of Alberta, warning of
rotating power outages because of pressure on the electrical grid caused
by the extreme cold, underlines just how difficult the energy
transition is going to be in the Prairie provinces, according to
economist Andrew Leach.It also demonstrates why more flexibility is
needed in Ottawa's Clean Energy Regulations to decarbonize the country's
electricity grids, he says.Alberta's electrical grid recovers after
extreme cold prompts threat of rolling power outages-The emergency alert
was issued at 6:44 p.m. Saturday. Residents were asked to immediately
reduce electricity use to essentials only. The Alberta Emergency
Management Agency (AEMA) urged Albertans to turn off unnecessary lights,
avoid cooking with a stove and delay charging electric vehicles.The
Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) ended the grid alert for the
system just before 9 p.m.Leach is an energy and environmental economist
and a professor of economics and law at the University of Alberta. In an
interview with CBC News on Sunday, he said the emergency alert was a
result of a confluence of extreme conditions. "You had, for much of
Alberta, the coldest night in 50 years, you had … a particularly acute
low wind event, and last night a lack of import availability because of a
lot of pressures on the Saskatchewan grid and on the B.C. grid at the
same time as we were facing pressures. Add to that the unexpected outage
of a gas plant. That alone puts you there," Leach said.The province's
energy grid had as little as 10 megawatts in reserve power at one point
on Saturday night, according to the AESO supply demand report.Shortly
after the alert was issued, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe put out a
tweet, saying his province was providing 153 megawatts of power to
Alberta to help them during the shortage. The tweet included a pointed
barb aimed at the prime minister."That power will be coming from natural
gas and coal-fired plants, the ones the Trudeau government is telling
us to shut down (which we won't)," Moe wrote.Leach says he understands
where that impulse to fight back against Ottawa's new Clean Energy
Regulations comes from.He says just because other markets in the U.S.
and Canada can make this switch to largely renewable systems without
risking grid reliability, that doesn't mean that Alberta and
Saskatchewan are being too pro-fossil fuel when they push back."That
presents a really big challenge and I think people have been too quick
to wave that away," Leach said.Leif Sollid is the communications manager
for AESO. He says the last time the province was this close to
implementing rotating power outages was during another extreme weather
event."The last time we had rotating outages — which means we've run out
of our backup reserves — was back in July of 2013, during the flood. So
it's been 11 years since we've been in this tight of a supply
situation," he told CBC Radio's Daybreak Alberta on Sunday morning.If
rotating outages are required, they would occur simultaneously in small
pockets across the province and they would be approximately 30 minutes
in duration. "What the outages do is basically bring down overall system
demand, so we can balance supply and demand. Supply and demand balance
is absolutely critical," Sollid said.Pointing to the fact that the
province had a 12 per cent increase in power generating capacity last
year, and is expecting similar growth this year, Sollid said grid
alerts, like those issued over the past few days, should become less
necessary in the future."The supply picture is actually very positive,
and that will help us over the longer term," he said.But Leach says not
all additional capacity is created equal, especially on the Prairies."A
lot of that increase last year was solar power, so solar capacity
doesn't change anything at all for a 7 p.m. January spike," he said."You
could have had 50,000 megawatts, all the solar farms and wind farms in
the world located in Alberta, and it still wouldn't have come anywhere
close to closing that gap."That's why Leach says regulatory flexibility
is needed for the part of the country that is awash in cheap energy in
the summer, from wind and solar, but in the depths of winter, during
really cold conditions and really high energy loads, those resources do
not generate a lot of power."A solution relying exclusively on wind
power, solar power and trade isn't going to get you through a really
cold, dark night in Alberta," he said.AESO's Leif Sollid said
immediately after Saturday's emergency alert was issued, people in the
system control room could see a drop in power demand. "It immediately
fell by 100 megawatts and a couple of minutes later, it fell another 100
megawatts. So, a 200-megawatt drop, and that got us through what we
call the hump," he said.Until the cold snap ends, Albertans can continue
to help by reducing power and conserving electricity during the peak
period, Sollid said."It's simple things… things like not running your
dishwasher, not doing laundry, not plugging in your car, putting your
block heater on a timer so it's drawing power outside of that 4 to 7
p.m. window. Very small things like that, but when done across the
province, as we saw last night, things like that will make a difference
and will help us out."Leach agrees. Looking ahead to Sunday evening, he
says electricity reduction will remain important."It's really not
looking great. We're not at the crisis level that we had last night, but
5 and 9 p.m. the market's still going to be pretty tight," he said."We
need a small drop in demand. We don't need everybody to change
everything."With files from Brendan Coulter
Millions of Americans
face frigid temperatures as storms bring more Arctic air and snow-The
National Weather Service warned windy, subfreezing conditions in Montana
and the Dakotas could push wind chills as low as minus 56 degrees
Celsius.The Associated Press-Jan 14, 2024
Subfreezing
temperatures across much of the U.S. left millions of Americans facing
potentially dangerous cold Sunday as Arctic storms threatened
near-blizzard conditions in the northeast and several inches of snow in
portions of the South.The National Weather Service warned windy,
subfreezing conditions in Montana and the Dakotas could push wind chills
as low as minus 56 degrees Celsius.An estimated 95 million people were
under weather warnings or advisories for wind chills below minus 17 C,
according to the weather service. Forecasters said the severe cold was
expected to push as far south as northern Texas.Even parts of northern
Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia could also see snow. In Shreveport, La.,
Mary Trammel was among residents who stocked up on bottled water, food
and fuel for generators ahead of subfreezing weather forecast to bring
up an inch of snow and leave roads coated in ice.“It’s cold out here,”
said Tramel, who told KSLA-TV she bought bread and ingredients for
enough soup to last multiple days. “I can get what I need and make sure
the house is stored good.”Officials warned people to say off the roads
in Buffalo, where snowfall of 0.3 to 0.6 metres was forecast. The severe
storm forced the postponement of the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers
NFL playoff game from Sunday to Monday. Wind gusts as high as 80 km/h
were also possible, said Zack Taylor, a National Weather Service
meteorologist in College Park, Maryland.“They’re expected to see both
the intense snowfall, but also the extreme wind,” Taylor said. “That’s
why they’re expecting to see near-blizzard conditions at times.”Airports
across the country were effected. More than half of flights into and
out of Buffalo Niagara International Airport were cancelled. Scores of
flights were also cancelled or delayed at Chicago O’Hare International
Airport, Denver International Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport.Forecasters also warned Sunday intense bursts of heavy snow and
wind could cause drastic and sudden drops in visibility in eastern
Pennsylvania and parts of northern New Jersey and Delaware. The weather
service urged people to stay off the roads, saying such squalls could
bring “near whiteout conditions and a quick one-half inch of snow in
just 10 to 15 minutes.”Another Arctic storm that’s dumped heavy snowfall
in the Rockies was forecast to push farther south, potentially bringing
0.10 to 0.15 metres of snow to portions of Arkansas, northern
Mississippi and west Tennessee.Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders
declared a state of emergency ahead of the severe weather to give
utility trucks and trucks hauling essential supplies greater flexibility
to respond.More than 150,000 homes and businesses in Oregon were
without electricity Sunday following heavy snow and ice storms,
according to poweroutage.us. Widespread outages affecting tens of
thousands were also reported in Michigan and Wisconsin.The harsh weather
in Oregon played a role in three deaths.In Portland, medical examiners
were investigating a hypothermia death as freezing rain and heavy snow
fell in a city more accustomed to mild winter rains, and hundreds of
people took shelter overnight at warming centers.Portland Fire and
Rescue also reported the death of a woman in her early 30s on Saturday
afternoon. An RV caught fire when a small group of people used an open
flame stove to keep warm inside and a tree fell on the vehicle, causing
the fire to spread. Three other people escaped, including one with minor
injuries, but the woman was trapped inside, the fire department
said.Authorities in Lake Oswego, Oregon, said a large tree fell on a
home during high winds Saturday, killing an older man on the second
floor.Weather-related deaths already were reported earlier in the week
in California, Idaho, Illinois and Wisconsin.
A volcano erupts in
southwestern Iceland, sending lava flowing toward nearby settlement"We
just watch it on the cameras and there's really nothing else we can do,"
said resident Reynir Berg Jonsson.-The Associated Press-Marco Di
Marco-Jan 14, 2024
REYKJAVIK, Iceland — A volcano in southwestern
Iceland erupted for the second time in less than a month on Sunday,
sending lava snaking toward a nearby community and setting at least one
home on fire.The eruption, which began just before 8 a.m. local time,
came after authorities evacuated the town of Grindavik following a swarm
of small earthquakes, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said. Hours
later, a second fissure opened near the edge of town and lava crept
toward the homes.“We just watch it on the cameras and there’s really
nothing else we can do,” resident Reynir Berg Jonsson, told Iceland’s
RUV television.Grindavik is a town of 3,800 people about 50 kilometres
southwest of Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital. The community was previously
evacuated in November following a series of earthquakes that opened
large cracks in the earth between the town and Sýlingarfell, a small
mountain to the north. The nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa — one of
Iceland’s biggest tourist attractions — also closed temporarily.The
volcano eventually erupted on Dec. 18, and residents were allowed to
return to their homes on Dec. 22.In the weeks since then, defensive
walls had been built around the volcano in hopes of directing lava away
from the community. But the walls of the barriers built north of
Grindavik have been breached and lava is moving toward the community,
the meteorological office said.Iceland, which sits above a volcanic hot
spot in the North Atlantic, averages one eruption every four to five
years.The most disruptive in recent times was the 2010 eruption of the
Eyjafjallajokull volcano, which spewed clouds of ash into the atmosphere
and disrupted transatlantic air travel for months.But Sunday’s eruption
on the Reykjanes Peninsula isn’t expected to release large amounts of
ash into the air. Operations at Keflavik Airport are continuing as
normal, said Gudjon Helgason, airport operator Isavia’s press
officer.Before last month’s eruption, the area known broadly as
Svartsengi volcano had been dormant for around 780 years. The volcano is
just a few kilometres west of Fagradalsfjall, which was dormant for
6,000 years before flaring to life in March 2021. The latest eruption
was more powerful than those in recent years.

Biometrics implementations around the world undermined by lack of consent-Jan 13, 2024, 11:04 am EST | Chris Burt
Biometrics
issues related to consent were a theme running through many of the
most-read articles of the week on Biometric Update. Digi Yatra sign-ups
and DNA research tainted by a lack of consent, like surreptitious
searches of passport data with facial recognition by UK police, fuel
popular anxieties about biometrics. The industry is well aware. This
week’s example is Google turning to a cash incentive in an attempt to
build up an ethically-sourced dataset for age verification development.
Meanwhile, CES again demonstrates the increasing value consumers place
on biometrics. Automotive biometrics featured at the Vegas show include
offerings from trinamiX, Precise Biometrics and Cerence.Top biometrics
news of the week-NADRA’s technology development arm NTL has struck a
deal with public telecom and IT equipment company NRTC to jointly
support the domestic development of biometrics and digital
identity-related technologies. NADRA will contribute its expertise
gained in the implementation of digital ID solutions based on the
Pakistan ID Stack, while NRTC contributes expertise in electronics and
software development.Reports are emerging from India that air travellers
were enrolled in the ostensibly voluntary Digi Yatra program without
giving their consent or being properly informed. People at multiple
airports say travellers were registered en masse for the program, which
promises paperless airport experiences through biometrics. Government
and airport officials disagreed about who is responsible.DNA samples
were collected from members of two of China’s ethnic minorities on a
mandatory basis and then used in academic research, prompting multiple
papers to be withdrawn. European researchers blamed the Chinese
government for the ethical failing. DNA equipment-maker Thermo Fisher
has halted sales in Tibet in response to rights concerns, though the
research samples were taken from Uyghur and Kazakh people.UK police have
searched the nation’s database of passport photos with facial
recognition algorithms in attempts to identify violent criminals,
hundreds of times since at least 2019. The public was never informed,
and the practice was first raised as a policy suggestion just months
ago. The revelations are raising uncomfortable questions for the
government as facial recognition is increasingly adopted for law
enforcement and public security, even as oversight is arguably being
reduced.The LAPD is planning a real-time surveillance center, and wants
to hook up ten thousand cameras operated by private businesses and
individuals to its network. The center and its surveillance camera
network are related to a plan to reduce organized retail theft called
Project Blue Light.Google is working with a subsidiary of Canadian telco
Telus to build up a dataset to use in developing facial age
verification. TIAI is paying $50 for short videos of children and the
consent of their parents.Joy Buolamwini makes the case in a Wired
editorial that this year identity theft and anti-surveillance innovation
will each get a boost from increased adoption of biometrics. Buolamwini
also sees “the rise of the faceless” and the bifurcation between places
where mass surveillance is normalized and “free-face territories.”AI
was the dominant theme of this year’s CES in Las Vegas, and biometrics
developers took a prominent part in the massive trade show. Automotive
biometrics technologies were showed off by Precise Biometrics and
Cerence, among others. New cameras and sensors from Orbbec and other
developers were on display, and smart locks provided a range of options
for biometric modalities.TrinamiX unveiled its face biometrics system
for both outside the vehicle to unlock doors and inside to start the
engine at CES. The Face Authentication Display system has been
integrated by Continental, and even Lamborghini is getting in on the
automotive biometrics trend.TSA’s priorities for this year include
adding pilots for accepting mobile driver’s licenses and digital IDs at
airports to two more states. The agency also wants to double the number
of airports where PreCheck members can quickly complete security checks
with their face biometrics, according to its 2024 action plan.Sierra
Leone is running a campaign to increase public adoption of its biometric
ID cards, made with X Infotech technology. The NCRA has opened
facilities across the country for in-person registration, and says
obtaining the card is each citizen’s civic responsibility.Indonesia now
says its digital ID will launch in the second half of the year along
with a digital payments service and a data exchange platform. Public
corporation Peruri is in charge of the countries efforts to upgrade
public services with investments in DPI.Please tell us about any thought
leadership or opinion pieces we should share with the people who work
in biometrics and the broader digital identity industry, either in the
comments below or through social media.

LOW Wireless charger implanted under your SKIN that uses human body to
top batteries being developed by scientists-The charger is biodegradable
and can dissolve in the body-Aiya Zhussupova-Published: 13:23, 4 Jan
2024
SCIENTISTS have created a wireless charger that could be
inserted under the skin and could harvest energy from the body
itself.Patients with medical implants might ditch clunky batteries and
wiring that comes with them if a follow-up research proves
successful.Chinese scientists developed a wireless charger that can be
implanted under the skin-It could use the body to produce more energy
and dissolves over time-The new technology has been tested in rodents
only but the implications for human use could be groundbreaking.The
scientists at Lanzhou University in China have developed a prototype
wireless charging chip that can be implanted under the skin.The
prototype can wirelessly transfer energy through the body or use the
body to top up batteries.The flexible and soft chip is also adaptable to
the shape of tissue during a procedure and it's biodegradable.Most
bioelectronic devices are powered by onboard batteries with limited
capacity.Often these medical devices are hooked up to an external power
supply which can risk causing infection in a patient, especially if a
surgery is needed to replace parts.Biodegradable charger would allow the
patients to avoid this problem as it dissolves in the body without a
need for surgical removal.In rats, the prototype worked up to ten days
and dissolved completely within two months.It could last longer than
that if the team thickened the protective polymer and wax layers
enclosing the battery.Wei Lan, study co-author, told Live Science: "Our
prototyped power supply system represents an important step forward in
advancing a wide range of biodegradable implantable medical devices with
its potential to provide effective and reliable energy solutions."The
prototype power supply uses a magnesium coil that charges when a second
coil is placed above the skin.Power passes through a circuit and then
enters an energy-storage module made of zinc-ion hybrid
capacitors.Despite storing less energy per unit than batteries do, the
implant can discharge a large amount of energy at once.When the
prototype is attached to a medical implant, it ensures a constant power
supply into the device.But there is still a long way until the wireless
charger can be tested on humans.The research team has to overcome
multiple hurdles, including finding a way to turn the device on or
off.As of now, it stops working only when it runs out of power."At
present, the size of the system is still relatively large and contains a
small rectifier module [which converts between AC and DC], and
stability needs to be further improved," Lan said.
Intersec 2024:
new solutions from RecFaces, Princeton Identity, Suprema, Iris ID and
more-Jan 12, 2024, 5:34 pm EST | Masha Borak
Intersec is
celebrating its 25th birthday this year at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Biometrics firms including RecFaces, Princeton Identity, Invixium,
Suprema and Iris ID will show off their products at the safety, security
and fire protection expo from January 16 to 18, 2024.Dubai-native
facial biometrics startup RecFaces plans to demonstrate its facial
recognition software Id-Guard which is integrated with XProtect VMS, a
video management platform created by Denmark-headquartered video
technology firm Milestone.RecFaces experts will also conduct two
presentations within the Thought Leadership Pavilion on biometrics
implementation in the field of security and access control. The company
has recently opened a new office in India while at Intersec it plans to
explore new markets, according to Head of Presale for the MENA region
Mohammed Bajarsh.Princeton Identity, a U.S. identity management company
focusing on iris and facial recognition, will be unveiling a new product
at the expo, according to its LinkedIn announcement. The solution will
be an addition to its Iris-on-the-Move ID authentication technology
which was adopted this year by the electrical power firm Consolidated
Edison Inc (Con Edison).Access control company Invixium is also
unveiling a new addition to its software offerings: Biometric access
control and workforce management platform IXM WEB will get a 3.0 version
with a new user-friendly interface while visitor management platform
IXM VISITOR will receive an advanced version introducing a streamlined
visitor registration.Invixium CEO and President Shiraz Kapadia will
participate as a speaker at The Thought Leadership Pavilion. In a
statement, Kapadia says that the Canadian firm is dedicated to the
Middle East Market.Another biometric access control company Suprema will
participate in Intersec 2024 Dubai with its newly upgraded security
platform BioStar 2, according to its social media post.The South Korean
company was recently named one of the “Global Top 5” providers of access
control technology by A&S International. Its CEO Hanchul Kim said
that the company is planning to grow its presence in Asia, Europe, North
America and the Middle East.Canadian security firm Genetec is betting
on a large increase of cloud-based technology in the physical security
industry among medium and large enterprises across the Middle East over
the next year. This is why it plans to demonstrate the latest version of
its security platform, Security Center, as well as a range of
cloud-ready solutions at Intersec. Among them is Axis Powered by
Genetec, an access control offering that combines Genetec access control

Next Biometrics’ fingerprint sensor receives Chinese security certification-Jan 12, 2024, 12:51 pm EST-| Masha Borak
Next
Biometrics has a significant step towards expanding its footprint in
the second most populous nation in the world. The Norwegian fingerprint
sensor maker has received the China ID certification for its popular
FAP20 sensor, allowing it to access more market segments in the
country.Marcus Laurén, chief product officer at Next, says that the
certification will open doors to high-end markets. Only a few original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) globally hold the China ID
certificate.The certification was obtained through a local Chinese
partner.“Achieving the China ID is a key milestone in our entry into
[the] biometric market in China,” says Laurén. “The certification is the
result of a rigorous testing process, where the partner, and all its
hardware and software integrations, must prove to be compliant with
strict security requirements.”The FAP20 sensor is already certified by
both the FBI and the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI),
according to the firm. Obtaining the Chinese security requirement, which
is similar to that of India’s biometric identity program Aadhaar, means
that Next’s sensor is ready to be used for on-device authentication and
verification in industries such as government and banking.The news
comes as the company continues on a steady growth trajectory in the
Asian market.At the beginning of January, Next sealed a deal to deliver
another batch of FAP20 fingerprint sensors to a Singapore-based customer
by the end of Q1 2024, following a similar order the previous month for
the Chinese market. At the time, Next Biometrics CEO Ulf Ritsvall said
that the China ID certification would mean more orders for the firm.The
company has also made deals in India last year for Aadhaar L1-certified
authentication devices.In September 2024, the Oslo-based company
announced it raised about NOK 60 million (US$5.4million) to boost its
operations and prepare for future orders.
IUSSP launches initiative to address ethics in biometric population registration-Jan 12, 2024, 12:21 pm EST-| Bianca Gonzalez
The
International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) has
announced an initiative to establish interdisciplinary dialogues and
policy research to consider human rights in the population register
systems field as more incorporate biometric identification.Digital ID
systems like India’s Aadhaar, the GhanaCard, and South Africa’s Home
Affairs National Identification System each leverage biometrics in their
digital registration systems. The systems are often shaped by each
nation’s individual capacities and weaknesses, but have already altered
the foundation for economic growth in various countries, despite
setbacks in implementation.Stakeholders are concerned that implementing
digital CRVS systems can create new challenges for obtaining accurate
population data – a problem that should ideally be minimized by the
digitalization of such systems.Vulnerable subpopulations could
potentially be excluded from the systems, while young scholars in the
global South may be excluded from discourse that addresses issues in
biometric registration systems. A major risk of the implementation of
such systems is the destruction of the right to privacy.The IUSSP is a
global organization made up mostly of academic and government bodies
concerned with demography and the scientific study of population. It is
partnering with the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research in
South Africa, the Initiative for Social and Economic Rights in Uganda,
and the USC Institute on Inequalities on Global Health in the U.S. to
launch a year-long research collaboration and fellowship program. The
program is intended to facilitate interdisciplinary research from young
scholars and practitioners on human rights considerations to inform
policy on population register systems.The collaboration would help
position institutions in the global North to support the development of
research and policy guidance from early career researchers in the global
South. The initiative would nurture the development of the next
generation of scholars through mentorship and immersion, networking, and
visibility, also giving them the opportunity to collaborate with all
partner organizations and other fellows in the program.The intention of
the program is to include new perspectives into discourse to challenge
current frameworks for digitizing registration systems. Population
scientists have been able to document instances where population data
systems of the past were leveraged in instances of mass human rights
abuses. There is less discourse on contemporary national identity
systems that rely on biometrics and digitally link to other registries,
and the initiative seeks to facilitate this discourse.The initiative
will support research projects of three IUSSP Population, Ethics and
Human Rights Fellows. It will produce interdisciplinary materials that
inform stakeholders on ethics and human rights opportunities and
challenges that the use of biometrics in registry systems
creates.Lastly, the initiative will share essays and podcasts that
highlight new research and debates from population researchers.
US wants freer hand searching Norway biometric databases when visitors show up-Jan 12, 2024, 12:14 pm EST-| Jim Nash
The
U.S. is making a new data-access demand of Norway in return for
visa-free travel between them.There are reports that Washington’s
Homeland Security Department wants to move from having to ask for
biometric and criminal data about Norwegian visitors and instead doing
searches itself.No agreement has been announced.In an existing agreement
similar to one the U.S. has signed with other favored nations,
Washington relaxes visa requirements of Norwegians wanting to travel to
the country. The U.S. and EU have struggled to come to a similar
agreement.To get that deal – considered very attractive for visiting
nations – Norway began sharing results of fingerprint match requests
last summer. A DNA component of the arrangement has not been
implemented.U.S. officials get some identity, background and advance
itinerary information reportedly useful in spotting terrorists from
Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) applications.Now the
U.S. wants Norway to share police databases so that American border
officials can get information about its residents seeking entry through
automated searches.Norwegian officials get access to Homeland Security
data. And leisure and business travelers escape getting a visa for stays
of up to 90 days.There are concerns among privacy advocates that the
new terms give the U.S. unfettered access to multiple national databases
which include sensitive personal data.
