Trump Issues Stern Warning After Airstrikes on ISIS in Somalia
Donald Trump has sent a strong message to America’s enemies following precision military airstrikes on senior Islamic State (ISIS) operatives in Somalia. “We will find you, and we will kill you,” the former president declared in a statement released on social media. Trump announced that he had personally ordered the strikes against a senior ISIS attack planner and other terrorists under his command. “This morning I ordered precision military air strikes on the senior Isis attack planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia,” he stated. In his statement, Trump took aim at President Joe Biden and his administration, claiming that they had failed to act decisively in eliminating this particular threat. “Our military has targeted this Isis attack planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did!” Trump closed his remarks with a final warning to terrorist organizations: “The message to Isis and all others who would attack Americans is that ‘we will find you and we will kill you!’” His words echoed a famous line from the 2008 action film *Taken*, in which Liam Neeson’s character delivers a similar warning to his enemies. Despite Trump's criticism of Biden, the recent strikes align with U.S. counterterrorism efforts under the current administration. In December, the U.S. launched airstrikes against ISIS targets in Syria, responding to concerns that the terror group might regain strength as the situation in the region remains unstable. Biden addressed these operations by reaffirming the U.S. commitment to preventing ISIS from regaining a foothold. “We’re clear-eyed about the fact that Isis will try to take advantage of any vacuum to re-establish its capabilities to create a safe haven,” Biden said. “We will not let that happen.” Those strikes, which involved B-52 bombers, F-15 fighter jets, and A-10 ground attack aircraft, successfully targeted ISIS leaders, operatives, and training camps, according to CNN. The U.S. military remains active in the fight against the group, ensuring that ISIS is unable to rebuild its networks or threaten global security. As Trump and Biden exchange words over their approaches to combating ISIS, the U.S. continues to employ precision military tactics to prevent the resurgence of terrorist organizations.

Released Hostage Emily Damari Tells Keir Starmer she was held in UN Facilities
Emily Damari, British-Israeli who was held hostage by Hamas for 15 months in Gaza, has revealed to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer that she was detained in a United Nations facility and denied medical treatment throughout her captivity. The 28-year-old was kidnapped from her home on October 7, 2023, by Hamas gunmen, who shot her in the hand and leg and killed her pet dog. During a phone call with her mother, Damari disclosed that she had been held for a period in facilities belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) but was never given access to medical care. She explained that the only medical aid provided to her was a single bottle of expired iodine, despite her severe injuries, including the loss of two fingers on her left hand and an unhealed wound in her leg. Following the conversation, her mother, Mandy Damari, took to X to share the harrowing details. "Hamas held Emily in UNRWA facilities and denied her access to medical treatment after shooting her twice. It's a miracle that she survived, and we need to get aid to remaining hostages now," she wrote. Rihards Kols MEP: UNRWA's complicity in Hamas' crimes is undeniable. Israeli hostages were held captive on its premises—funded in part by the EU budget. Along with colleagues, I urge @antonioguterres to shut down UNRWA. The UN must uphold its own values, not enable terrorism. In response to the allegations, UNRWA issued a statement to Sky News, expressing relief over the release of the hostages. "We at UNRWA are relieved that hostages have been released. We hope all others will be released too. It is also a relief that Ms. Damari has finally been reunited with her family," the agency said. Addressing the claims that hostages were held in their premises, the agency added, "Claims that hostages have been held in UNRWA premises, even if previously vacated, are very serious. We have repeatedly called for independent investigations into claims of misuse and disregard of UN premises by Palestinian armed groups, including Hamas." The revelation about Damari’s captivity comes as a new Israeli law goes into effect, banning UNRWA operations on Israeli land, including in East Jerusalem, and cutting off contact with Israeli authorities. Israel has long been critical of the agency, arguing that it perpetuates the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by conferring refugee status to the descendants of refugees—a classification not given to any other group of refugees worldwide. Additionally, Israeli authorities have accused UNRWA of fostering anti-Israel sentiment in its schools and of enabling Palestinian dependence on aid for decades. Furthermore, Israel has alleged that some UNRWA employees have been involved in acts of terror, including participating in the October 7 attacks, while hundreds more have ties to terrorist organizations.
