The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have launched nearly 500 strikes across Syria over the last two days to prevent military weaponry from falling into the hands of terrorists who have overthrown Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s brutal dictatorship. On Monday night, Israeli Navy missile ships struck two Syrian Navy facilities — the Al-Bayda port and the Latakia port — destroying approximately 15 Syrian naval vessels. “Dozens of sea-to-sea missiles with ranges of 80–190 kilometers were destroyed,” the IDF said in a statement. “Each missile carried significant explosive payloads, posing threats to civilian and military maritime vessels in the area.” Fighter pilots in the Israel Air Force (IAF) flew hundreds of hours over Syrian airspace this week, carrying out more than 350 strikes against targets. “A wide range of targets were struck, including anti-aircraft batteries, Syrian Air Force airfields, and dozens of weapons production sites in Damascus, Homs, Tartus, Latakia, and Palmyra,” the IDF said. “Numerous strategic weapons were neutralized, including Scud missiles, cruise missiles, surface-to-sea, surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles, UAVs, fighter jets, attack helicopters, radars, tanks, hangars, and more.” ⭕ In 48 hours, the IDF struck most of the strategic weapons stockpiles in Syria to prevent them from falling into the hands of terrorist elements. ????’? ??? ?????????: ⚓ Naval Operations: Israeli Navy missile ships struck 2 Syrian Navy facilities… pic.twitter.com/6N1fz7BiMF — Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) December 10, 2024 Retired British colonel Richard Kemp, who was a top intelligence official, said that the strikes were perhaps the most intense in Israel’s history and were a brilliant strategic move.

President Joe Biden reportedly waived sanctions following the Democrats’ election losses last month that gave the Islamic Republic of Iran — the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — access to billions of dollars of frozen assets. The Free Beacon obtained a copy of the non-public order transmitted to Congress from the State Department that claimed it was “in the national security interest of the United States” to allow Iran to access the $10 billion that had been frozen. The report said: The Biden State Department tweaked the waiver last year to allow Tehran to convert the funds from Iraqi dinars to euros, then hold those euros in bank accounts based in Oman. Access to a widely traded currency like the euro enables Iran to more easily spend the cash in international markets. Under the first Trump administration, Iran had to keep the cash in an escrow account in Baghdad, making it more difficult to access. The Biden administration claims that the money is not going to be used for terrorism because the funds can only be used for humanitarian purposes. However, money is fungible, meaning it can be easily moved around, hidden, and used for different purposes. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Many have raised concerns about the administration waiving sanctions against the regime after it has funded the majority of terrorism in the Middle East for years, which came to a head last year when Hamas launched an unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel on October 7. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in May, said in an interview last year that Iran would spend the money however it wanted to. “What is your expectation of its [the money’s] use?” asked NBC News host Lester Holt. “We’re told that it’s for humanitarian purposes — food and medicine. Do you believe you have the right to use that money in any way that you see fit?” “This money belongs to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and naturally, we will decide, the Islamic Republic of Iran will decide to spend it wherever we need it,” Raisi answered. “How to spend our money of course, it is under the authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” Holt responded by asked, “So if I hear you clearly that it will be used for more than humanitarian purposes in your view?” “Humanitarian means whatever the Iranian people need, so this money will be budgeted for those needs,” Raisi said. “And the needs of the Iranian people will be decided and determined by the Iranian government.” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says they’ll use the $6 billion from the Biden Admin “wherever we need it … as determined by the Iranian government” pic.twitter.com/KMLUfk2xhl — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) September 12, 2023 Related: Iran Has Made Nearly $200 Billion In Illegal Oil Sales Under Biden-Harris

The most recent season of Dancing With The Stars crowned Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson the winners. The pair wowed the judges and America week after week with their clean dance moves and positive attitudes. Before the November 26 finale, teams competed in dances according to a theme. This season, we enjoyed Oscar Night, Disney Night, Halloween Nightmare Night, and Dedication Night. The show ended just four days after Wicked premiered in movie theaters. We didn’t see a Wicked-themed dance this year, but we wouldn’t be surprised if we will in future seasons. The movie is a box office smash, and fans are learning all the music and choreography. The cafeteria scene where students dance to What Is This Feeling, in particular, created quite a bit of hype. Choreographer Christopher Scott shared the moves on Instagram and people keyed in, including DWTS winner Jenna Johnson. She posted a video of herself trying the dance moves with a little something extra. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy (@jennajohnson) Jenna Johnson Did Something A Bit “Wicked” During Her Dance Well, not really. But the DWTS season 33 champ did perform Christopher’s choreography while holding the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy. The choreography on its own is tricky but carrying a gigantic trophy while you dance is downright impressive. Fans were obsessed with Jenna’s hot take on the What Is This Feeling moves. A long-time fan wrote, “I’ve been watching you since so you think you can dance and I was always memorized by your dancing then you have continue to grow more and more every year so very proud of you and love watching you dance.” We are 100% behind this idea. “‘DWTS ‘needs a musical theatre night or a night dedicated to ‘Wicked.'” The Wicked movie comment from its official Insta, “Nailed it.” Enough said.

Jewish UM Regent's Home Vandalized: 'This is Terrorism'

Europe Finally Puts the Brakes on Immigration

Jay-Z has joined Diddy in the spotlight, as the rapper is now facing allegations that both he and Diddy raped a woman when she was only 13 years old. According to the woman’s story, she was raped by the rappers while a third female celebrity watched. “My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle,” Jay-Z wrote in a statement responding to the allegations. “No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!! These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?” the rapper continued. He went on to praise his own honor and accuse the lawyer of having a “pattern of these theatrics,” calling him a “deplorable human.” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” finds Jay-Z’s statement “laughable.” “The man has spent his entire rap career bragging about being a drug dealer, and he’s now claiming, ‘We protected children, we had a strict code of honor, don’t you understand that drug dealers we have a strict code of honor and I’m an honorable person?’” Whitlock mocks. “‘And my music lyrics, even though I know kids are rapping along to the profanity, the debauchery, the degeneracy, the immorality of my music, I’m really looking out and protecting these kids by preparing them for this satanic world that I’m a part of building,’” he adds, joking. “The man’s statement is laughable,” he continues. “His whole career, his whole life seems to be dedicated towards the exploitation of young people, the stealing of innocence, the promotion of nihilism, and now he wants to run back.” Whitlock also notes that Jay-Z dated Aaliyah when she was a teenager and met Beyonce, his wife, when she was a teenager. “‘Those of us in the music industry in general, rap, rock, whatever, have a history of screwing teenage girls, but how could you believe it about me? I’m Jay-Z. Haven’t you listened to my music? Haven’t you listened to all this positive energy that I spread?’” Whitlock says, mocking the rapper again. “Jay-Z’s a joke to me,” he adds.
