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... 😬
After a rumor spread that Ethiopian Christians were organizing, jihadist militias went house to house in Christian neighborhoods, Oct 7th style, murdering entire families. After six hours, 48 men, women and children lay dead in different towns. The Oromia majority area of Ethiopia in the south is similar to Central Nigeria, where the religious demographics are split almost evenly between Muslim and Christians (both traditional Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo and modern evangelical churches).

Ethiopia: At least 47 Ethiopian Christians were killed, and another 18 hospitalized, in coordinated attacks targeting them in the Oromia region.
Surviving witnesses claimed regional authorities collaborated with Islamist militias to carry out the massacre.
Church leaders have repeatedly warned local authorities about armed groups entering the area, but received no serious response.
This is not an isolated incident, but rather part of a pattern of targeted attacks against Ethiopian Christians, who militants conflate with Amhara ethnicity.
This fusion of religious and ethnic violence against innocent Christians and their churches must not be tolerated.
We condemn these evil acts and call for the protection of Ethiopia’s Christians.
Jihadist attack on Syrian Kurds today near the Turkish border.
#DOCUMENTATION
Syrian General Security (HTS) vehicles were present before ISIS and Turkish-backed SNA mercenaries attacked Kurds in Girê spî (Tal Abyad) yet did nothing to protect them.
“The Lord sends forth *from Zion* your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies!”

Israel destroyed 2 warehouses in Iraq where Iranian sponsored militias were storing Chinese made MANPAD systems after receiving them from Iran.
The Iranian regime responded by attacking Iranian Kurdish positions inside Iraq.
Iraqi officials suspect Israel carried out airstrikes against two warehouses storing Chinese-made air defense systems recently transferred from Iran to Tehran-backed militias, destroying a large shipment, Asharq Al-Awsat reports.
The suspected strikes reportedly occurred shortly after the weapons arrived and followed a series of explosions targeting militia weapons depots around Baghdad since October 1, including facilities housing attack and reconnaissance drones.
Significant uptick in Israeli military activity in SW Syria over the past week, with IDF incursions reaching less than 30 km (20 miles) from the capital of Damascus.
Jordanian King Abdullah's statement on the terrorist attack yesterday on a Christian funeral service in Southern Jordan which killed 8 and wounded 40. The 4 gunmen are still at large. Greatly increased police an army presence at public locations around the country today. No word on the investigation yet, but ISIS cells in Jordan have plotted similar attacks in the past.
The king visited the wounded in a hospital earlier today.
The terrorist attack against Karak will be met with the harshest retaliation. Those who delude themselves into thinking that they can divide Jordanians with their bullets have no chance in the face of our unity. All Jordanians, from north to south, are partners in land and fate, and nothing stands between them. Our deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and we wish a speedy recovery to those injured.
Every Jordanian life is precious, and we will strike with an iron fist against those who dare to threaten our nation
CODEPINK (already exposed for ties with the CCP) is now reportedly working with sanctioned Iranian intelligence as an "asset."
New report just released by The Telegraph reveals that Putin's favorite activist, CODEPINK's Medea Benjamin, was in contact with sanctioned Iranian intelligence handlers who viewed her as an "asset" for pushing "Iran’s influence and narratives."
