🇺🇸 U.S. Expands Extrajudicial Killings to Pacific Waters

The U.S. military launched two more strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats in the eastern Pacific, killing at least five people in 48 hours — the eighth and ninth such attacks since September. The operations mark a shift from the Caribbean to South American waters off Colombia and Ecuador.

Trump said he doesn’t “feel badly” about the killings because each destroyed boat “saves 25,000 American lives,” boasting of U.S. weapon accuracy and insisting the strikes are legal. “We have legal authority, right?” he asked, before answering himself: “We’re allowed to do that.”

He claimed “there are no more boats in the water,” including fishing vessels, and said future hits will target smugglers “on land.”

🎥 Videos released by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth show boats exploding mid-ocean in the eastern Pacific. Below, Donald Trump seated beside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte addresses the strikes.Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out yet another lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO). Yet again, the now-deceased terrorists were engaged in narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.

The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and was carrying narcotics. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.

These strikes will continue, day after day. These are not simply drug runners—these are narco-terrorists bringing death and destruction to our cities. These DTOs are the “Al Qaeda” of our hemisphere and will not escape justice. We will find them and kill them, until the threat to the American people is extinguished.

Drop Site’s Abdel Qader Sabbah reports on Gaza’s olive harvest season: x.com/translatingp...
🫒The olive harvest season is the most beautiful time of year for Palestinians a moment when we feel deeply connected to ourland, surrounded by the scent of olives and fresh olive oil, the essence of Palestine itself. But this year, that joy has been crushed. The Israeli occupation deliberately destroyed olive presses and agricultural lands across Gaza, including one of the most advanced olive oil presses in the Strip, known for its modern machinery and high-quality production.

The occupation knew exactly what it was doing: destroying the olive harvest means destroying Palestinians’ bond with their land, our traditions, and our sense of life. Yet even amid the devastation, people in Gaza hold onto one truth, that the land will rise again. They will rebuild, replant, and press olives once more, tasting from their soil the purest reminder of endurance and belonging.

⭕️ Report | Israel launches 20+ airstrikes across Gaza claiming Hamas breached ceasefire

Israeli warplanes carried out more than 20 strikes across multiple areas of Gaza on Sunday, including regions far from the “yellow line” marking Israeli control, after the army claimed Hamas fighters emerged from a tunnel in Rafah and fired an anti-tank missile at an Israeli vehicle. The IDF called it a “blatant violation of the ceasefire,” saying it had begun “a series of strikes to eliminate the threat.”

But Hamas and its armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, denied any role, stressing they remain fully committed to the ceasefire and have “no knowledge of any incidents or clashes in Rafah,” which they described as a “red zone under full Israeli control.” Contact with any remaining fighters there, they said, has been severed since the return of Israel’s genocidal war in March.
In a detailed statement, Hamas also accused Israel of systematically violating the Sharm el-Sheikh ceasefire agreement signed on October 9. The group said Israel has killed at least 46 civilians and wounded 132 since the deal took effect, fired on returning residents near the “yellow line,” blocked aid and reconstruction materials, and withheld detainees and the bodies of prisoners who died in custody. It called these violations “deliberate attempts to sabotage the agreement” and “crimes against humanity.”

Axios reported that U.S. officials were alerted to Israel’s planned strikes through the American command center overseeing the deal. A senior Trump administration official told Axios that “we knew this was brewing,” adding that the U.S. urged Israel to “respond proportionately but show restraint.” Envoy Steve Witkoff and advisor Jared Kushner are expected in Israel this week to prevent further escalation and advance Trump’s “New Rafah” reconstruction plan.
The Trump administration have not publicly commented, while Palestinians on the ground say Israel has used minor security incidents as pretexts to resume attacks and block all aid deliveries.

As of Sunday night, Gaza’s Health Ministry and Civil Defense were still assessing casualties from the new Israeli airstrikes, with at least 15 people killed and dozens injured, according to hospital sources.

🚨⭕️ Press Statement - Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas): 
—
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s remarks and his threat to delay the reopening of the Rafah crossing and to restrict the entry of humanitarian aid reflect his fascist government’s policy of punishing our people in Gaza and exploiting humanitarian issues for political gain.

The return of the bodies of the Israeli captives may take some time, as some were buried in tunnels destroyed by the occupation, while others remain under the rubble of buildings it bombed and demolished.

The same Nazi occupation army that killed these captives is the one that caused them to be buried beneath the debris.

The bodies of the Israeli captives that the Resistance was able to retrieve have already been handed over. Extracting the remaining bodies requires equipment and machinery to remove the rubble — which are currently unavailable because the occupation prevents their entry. Therefore, any delay in handing over the bodies is the sole responsibility of Netanyahu’s government, which obstructs and prevents the provision of the necessary means for recovery.The Hamas Movement reaffirms its commitment to the agreement and its keenness to implement it, as well as its determination to hand over all remaining bodies. Netanyahu, meanwhile, continues to stall, evade his obligations, and obstruct the Resistance’s humanitarian efforts to retrieve the rest of the bodies.

ProPublica found that over 170 U.S. citizens have been detained by immigration agents during Trump’s second term — some beaten, tased, or held for days without contact. Most were Latino, including nearly 20 children and several pregnant women.

Agents often ignored proof of citizenship, even detaining people with REAL IDs. The Supreme Court recently allowed agents to consider race during sweeps, a ruling observers say has fueled racial profiling and unlawful arrests of Americans nationwide.

After signing up for self-deportation, Emily and Deybis sold their car and moved to an unfinished basement. But DHS never sent them the promised plane tickets. Now they worry about surviving winter. Weeks ago, they sold their daughter’s bed to pay rent. ➡️ Read more: propub.li/4ohnDm6
Article excerpt: Emily said she made clear the family didn’t have Venezuelan passports but was told that wouldn’t be a problem; the U.S. government would procure any necessary documents for them. They said the operator gave them an Aug. 1 departure date and told them to expect their plane tickets by email.

Emily and Deybis sold their car and moved with their children to Columbus, Ohio, where Deybis’ nephew let them stay in his unfinished basement apartment until their departure. The plane tickets never came.

Then the nephew was detained in a traffic stop and deported. Panicked, Emily and Deybis said they called the toll-free number again and again, leaving messages that went unanswered. Emily submitted a new application and sent more emails.Article excerpt: ...They found travel agencies that offer to procure travel documents at a cost but said they were told the Venezuelan government requires an arrival date and proof that plane tickets have been purchased. Emily and Deybis can’t afford them.

“Thank you so much for your patience and we understand your frustration,” they heard back in another email. “Wait for new instructions from DHS.”

As they wait, they worry about how they’ll survive when winter comes. Most days, Deybis visits local food pantries and looks for discarded items in alleys and on street corners that they can resell. A few weeks ago, they sold their daughter’s bed to help pay the rent.

“We’d rather be in Venezuela with our family than suffer here,” he said.
