Jordanian airstrike in Southern Syria targeting the ISIS cell responsible for the terrorist attack on the church in Kerak. Jordanian govt reports 20 militants killed, although the Syrian govt also reports women and children killed (incl images we won't post here).
The Jordanian govt did not coordinate with the Syrians ahead of time, likely because they don't believe they can trust the al-Sharaa gov't to not tip off the target. Al-Sharaa's HTS regime has a complicated, semi-competitive, also semi-cooperative relationship with ISIS (as elements of its "military" and wider, Sunni tribal base are former ISIS members, or sympathetic to ISIS, as we saw demonstrated earlier this year with over 1,200 ISIS detainees released from SDF detention centers).
🔴 Jordan’s Minister of Government Communication and Government Spokesperson, Mohammad al-Momani, says that Monday’s strikes on southern Syria targeted ISIS militants
🔴 Al-Momani says the strikes killed more than 20 militants
🔴 Jordan will form a joint committee with Syria after strikes on ISIS and expand counterterrorism coordination, al-Momani says
🔴 Jordan had refrained from targeting locations where information suggested the presence of civilians, he adds
Despite a devastated economy, Iran is still sending Hezbollah 100's of millions to rebuild. And despite a devastating string of losses over the last 3 years, Hezbollah continues to remain committed to jihad against Israel.
This doesn't end until the regime in Tehran ends.
Hezbollah has spent three months preparing for a possible resumption of hostilities with Israel, after receiving an infusion of cash from Iran, according to Lebanese security personnel briefed on its activities.
Its focus is on procuring explosives and producing drones that can be flown into Israeli positions, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters.
One of the sources, and another close to Hezbollah, said the group had received tens of millions of dollars from Iran to help boost its military capabilities. That is in addition to around $200 million that the group received from Tehran to aid displaced families in its Shi'ite heartlands, which Reuters reported earlier this month.
The group has been restoring command-and-control structures that broke down in key battles, according to one of those sources and three other security officials familiar with the group's operations.

"Israel and the US are preparing an operational plan aimed at toppling the Iranian regime...a devastating direct strike against the Iranian leadership, similar to operations carried out in the past, combined with additional military measures not previously undertaken, could set in motion a process that would ultimately bring down the regime." israelhayom.com/2026/10/26/n…
The electiona for all 120 seats of the 26th Israeli Knesset are underway. Let's pray for Israel today.

This as the attack claims a ninth victim who passed away yesterday after being critically wounded in the attack. 38 others were injured.
Where's the Syrian army to protect the rights of the Kurdish citizens which were guaranteed by signing an agreement to grant them protection and right of return to their homes in exchange for dissolving their militia?
Kurds attacked in the streets in both Hasakah and Tel Abyad in less than 30 days.
The YBS militia (and all-female YBJ) was organized in the wake of the attempted genocide perpetrated by ISIS against the Yezidi people, with assistance from the Kurdish PKK militia, which came to Iraq from Turkey in large numbers to fight ISIS. Now, after more than a decade of defending the Yezidi people of Iraq, they are being integrated into the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), specifically the auxillary militias of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, or in Arabic, Hashd al-Shaabi), which also includes many Iranian sponsored militias which have been antagonistic towards Kurdish forces in the region around Mount Sinjar, the Yezidi homeland.
Awkward... 😬
