(Worthy News) – Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the West that his country was technically ready for a nuclear war although he was not rushing to use nuclear weapons, however, his nuclear saber rattling was a warning to the West as NATO troops are being considered for deployment in Ukraine and Putin stated, “Weapons exist in order to use them.”
In a interview with state media Rossiya-1 television and news agency RIA, Putin declared, “From a military-technical point of view, we are, of course, ready,” adding, “Therefore, I don’t think that everything here is rushing to it [nuclear confrontation], but we are ready for this.”

AMSTERDAM/THE HAGUE (Worthy News) – The leader of the Dutch Anti-Islam Party for Freedom (PVV) said Wednesday he won’t become the next prime minister of the Netherlands despite his party’s election victory, but he didn’t rule out such a role in the future.

Geert Wilders, who is among Europe’s most pro-Israel politicians, said one or more political partners with whom he tries to form a government objected to him leading a cabinet.
“I can only become prime minister if all parties in the coalition support it. That was not the case,” Wilders wrote on social media platform X, previously known as Twitter.
“The love for my country and the voter is great and more important than my own position,” he stressed in comments seen by Worthy News.However, Wilders clarified that he and his party still want to be involved in a “right-wing cabinet” in some form.
He explained that such a government would seek “less asylum and immigration,” adding that the Dutch should be again “number one” on the political wishlists.
Large firms, including the Netherlands’ largest company, ASML, fear tougher migrant policies could further deteriorate the nation’s business climate. MORE https://www.worthynews.com/93904-wilders-wont-become-dutch-premier-despite-election-victory

(Worthy News) – On Wednesday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that an airstrike led to the death of a senior Hamas leader in Lebanon who was responsible for worldwide attacks against Jews.

Israel Defense Forces officials identified Hadi Ali Mustafa as a “significant operative” in Hamas’s organizational wing, responsible for coordinating international activities. Both the United States and Israel classify Hamas as a terrorist organization. It was disclosed that Mustafa played a central role in orchestrating global attacks targeting Jews.

Mustafa was killed in Tyre, near the Rashidieh Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, while traveling in a vehicle on Wednesday morning. Following the incident, Hamas confirmed his death, highlighting his significant role in the organization’s military operations in Lebanon.
A Hamas radio station recognized Mustafa as a vital leader of Lebanon’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
Following Wednesday’s airstrike, Israeli officials stated, “The IDF and Israeli security forces will continue to act against the Hamas terrorist organization in every arena where it is active.”

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – During a Wednesday visit to the Gaza Strip, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant suggested that a military operation by the Israel Defense Forces targeting Hamas units in Rafah will happen “soon.”On Wednesday morning, Gallant entered the Gaza Strip with forces from the IDF’s 162nd Division, warning, “those who think we are delaying [the invasion of Rafah] will soon see that there is no place we cannot reach. Our forces can reach any place, and the conclusion is that there is no safe haven for terrorists in Gaza,” he emphasized.
Furthermore, Gallant declared, “We will bring every single person involved in the October 7 massacre to justice – we will either kill them or try them in Israel. There is no safe space, not here, not outside Gaza, not across the entire Middle East.”
Over the weekend, U.S. President Joe Biden stated that an Israeli incursion into Rafah would constitute a ‘red line,’ however Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu countered by saying that not taking action in Rafah would be equivalent to insisting that Israel concede defeat to terrorists.

Iran Sending Missiles To Russia Adding Fears In Ukraine, Israel

TEHRAN/MOSCOW/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Iran is reportedly providing Russia with a massive number of highly accurate ballistic missiles, deepening the military cooperation between the two U.S.-sanctioned countries and raising concerns in wartorn Ukraine and Israel.
Already, some 400 “highly accurate” missiles were delivered, including many from the Fateh-110 family of short-range ballistic weapons, Iranian sources said.
Among them, the Zolfaghar, capable of hitting targets 186 miles (nearly 300 kilometers) to 435 miles (700 kilometers) away, Worthy News monitored.
The shipments began in early January after the deal was finalized in meetings late last year in Tehran and Moscow, Iranian sources told Reuters news agency.
An anonymous Iranian military official was quoted as saying there have been at least four shipments of missiles and that there would be more in the coming weeks. MORE https://www.worthynews.com/93378-iran-sending-missiles-to-russia-adding-fears-in-ukraine-israel

WASHINGTON/MOSCOW/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – U.S. officials have reportedly warned allies that Moscow will launch an anti-satellite nuclear weapon into orbit this year, a potentially devastating move threatening the West’s military and communications capabilities.
Moscow quickly denied the information reported by Bloomberg News agency and other U.S. media.
Yet, Russia’s apparent pursuit of a nuclear space-based weapon stirred a frenzy in Washington — and raised questions among a world of scientists and experts.
It remained unclear Tuesday whether this is a space-based nuclear weapon involving nuclear warheads, atomic reactions, and mushroom clouds.
However, several experts suggested that if the nuclear-powered satellite carries electronic weapons, it could cause havoc on Earth.
The weapon could cripple satellites that carry anything from the Global Positioning System (GPS) to weather forecasting and phone calls to wars and the global economy, experts say.
Yet it remained unclear Tuesday what sort of weapons the Kremlin may use.
However, nations remain concerned, saying the West is ill-prepared if President Vladimir Putin does deploy its nuclear weapon in space.

https://www.worthynews.com/93338-israel-to-restrict-visitors-to-temple-mount-families-concerned
Tensions rose in Jerusalem on Wednesday after Israel’s government said it would impose restrictions on the access of Palestinians to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Old City of East Jerusalem during the Muslim month of Ramadan amid “security needs.”

The Al-Aqsa compound, seen as the third “holiest” site in the world for Muslims, sits atop a hill in the Old City. The site is also revered by Jews, who call it the Temple Mount.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed the planned restrictions on access to the site despite expected frictions, especially around religious holidays such as Ramadan, which will begin about March 10 this year.

Government ministers said the policy would include limiting the access of Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria to the Temple Mount during Ramadan.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) foreign affairs department condemned the proposal.
It added that the world is “leading towards the declaration of a religious war.”
Israel cites “security concerns” as the main reason behind the move after it was attacked on October 7 by Hamas, which it views as a terrorist organization.
Some 1,200 people died, and about 250 others were kidnapped in the worst recorded atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust, also known as the Shoah.

https://www.worthynews.com/93325-british-cargo-sinking-after-attack
A British cargo ship was sinking in the Gulf of Aden after Houthi rebels attacked it and two other U.S. vessels in the region, Israeli and British sources said Tuesday.

The UK-registered Rubymar, whose cargo is unknown, was sailing from the United Arab Emirates to Bulgaria when it was struck, explained Ambrey, a British maritime intelligence firm.

The security firm in charge of safety on the ship said the crew evacuated after two missiles hit. They were picked up by another commercial ship, which took them to Djibouti, officials said.

“We know she was taking in water,” the security firm LSS-SAPU said. “There is nobody on board now. The owners and managers are considering options for towage.”

Yemen’s Houthi militants also said Monday they attacked two U.S. ships, Sea Champion and Navis Fortuna, in the Gulf of Aden.

“The targeting operation was carried out with a number of appropriate naval missiles, and the casualties were accurate and direct, thanks to Allah,” the group’s military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, said in a statement.

There were no immediate independent reports of casualties in these attacks.

UNDERWATER VESSELS

However, the decision by the Houthis to use unmanned “underwater vessels” presents a new danger, according to observers familiar with the situation.

The Iran-backed group already used ballistic missiles and small watercraft as well as helicopters in its attacks on ships, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) says.

It says its “actions will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy and merchant vessels.”

However, there were questions about whether the Houthis can and will be deterred.

Iran pressed the group in October to join the Hezbollah and Hamas groups in initiating attacks on Israel, according to Israeli sources.
In addition, Iran operationalized militias in Iraq and Syria to attack U.S. forces who have made clear they will attack ships of Israel and its allies, officials explained.

UK: Antisemitism record high reveals support of Hamas atrocities, not just anger at Israel’s response
"Hamas’s actions of 7th October gave new breath and legitimacy to the antisemite to express their hatred against Israel and against Jews."

Reports of antisemitic incidents in the UK reached a record high in 2023, with 4,103 anti-Jewish hate crimes, almost double the previous record of 2,233 incidents in 2021.

The Community Security Trust (CST) reports that two-thirds of incidents happened on or after the Hamas attacks on 7th October, with 416 incidents occurring in the week following the attacks – the largest number than any subsequent week.

The CST explains that this suggests that the increase “was a celebration of the Hamas attack on Israel, rather than anger at Israel’s military response in Gaza.”

Iceland declares state of emergency while preparing for volcanic eruption
Amid fears of a potentially deadly volcanic eruption, Iceland has declared a state of emergency and has evacuated thousands of people from the fishing village of Grindavik, Sky News reports.
Authorities are especially concerned about Katla in southern Iceland: this volcano has been active historically and could cause widespread flooding if it erupts now.
Iceland is one of the most volcanic regions on earth and has seen catastrophic eruptions over the centuries.
Most recently, in 2010 the Eyjafjallajokull eruption caused widespread disruption to flights across Europe.
The Icelandic government decided to evacuate 4,000 inhabitants from Grindavik in the early hours of Saturday morning after the region experienced over 1,000 tremors in a few hours, Sky News reports.
“ The molten rock that now sits 800 meters below the fishing village of Grindavik is expected to reach the surface within days, the latest in a long history of eruptions,” Sky’s science correspondent Thomas Moore explained in his report.
“It’s possible the eruption will be just off-shore, in which case the contact between super-heated rock and water would be explosive and almost certainly produce an ash cloud,” Moore said. “That’s unlikely to be as large as the plume caused by the Eyjafjallajokull eruption in 2010, which caused widespread disruption to flights across Europe – though it can’t be completely ruled out.”

by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Two Israeli researchers reported on Wednesday that Iran appears to be helping Syria to build an arsenal of chemical and advanced weapons for use not only by Tehran but also by Russia and, especially, by Hezbollah, its Lebanese proxy and arch enemy of Israel, i24NEWS reports.

Intelligence expert Teddy Sapir and Tal Beeri, head of the Alma Center Research Department, gave their assessment in a report published Wednesday and titled ‘The Risk of Chemical or Advanced Weapons Ending up in the Hands of the Iranian Axis Proxies,’ i24NEWS said.

According to the two researchers’ report, Iran wants to use Syria’s Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC) to develop and manufacture precision missiles and rockets, cruise missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles, i24NEWS said. The SSRC serves as Syria’s national military industry and is accountable for the research, development, and military production of advanced, chemical, biological, and potentially nuclear weapons.

In their report, Beeri and Sapir said Iran views the SSRC as a “growth engine for the development and production of modern conventional weapons based on Iranian technology on Syrian soil,” i24NEWS said.

“We assess that the Syrian regime now possesses extensive chemical capabilities,” Beeri and Sapir said in their report. “The Syrian regime considers the stockpiles of chemical weapons in its possession and the threat they pose, as a guarantee of its survival. At will, this capability may benefit the radical Shiite axis led by Iran in general and Hezbollah in particular. Hezbollah’s use of chemical weapons in the next confrontation with Israel cannot be ruled out.”

However, it meant that “the 4-year-old child was seized from his loving parents’ arms—to cries of “mamma, papa!”—and sent to an orphanage,” in Cairo, the capital, the group added.
“Baby Shenouda” was abandoned as a newborn inside a Coptic Church, according to Christians familiar sigh the case.
“The priest who found him entrusted the baby to a childless couple who had prayed for a baby for many years. Amal Ibrahim and Farouk Fawsi Boulous raised Shenouda as their own child for four years,” Coptic Solidarity added.
After a police report claiming that Amal and Farouk had “kidnapped” Shenouda, Egyptian authorities forcibly “removed him from the only parents and home he’d ever known,” Christians said.

NATO
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – The United States and NATO countries are in the midst of a “mad scramble” to restock their own weapons arsenals while continuing to give phenomenal amounts of military aid to Ukraine to fight Russia, the New York Times reported Saturday,

According to the NYT report, US and NATO countries were not prepared for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and their weapons supplies have been emptied by sending arms to Ukraine at a rate not seen since World War II.

“A day in Ukraine is a month or more in Afghanistan,” Camille Grand, a defense expert at the European Council on Foreign Relations, told the NYT.

NATO forces in Afghanistan NATO forces possibly fired some 300 artillery rounds, whereas Ukraine fires thousands of rounds a day – while still remaining vulnerable to aerial bombardment from Russia.

The NYT noted that the challenge facing NATO countries of keeping up with Ukraine’s demand for a massive and constant flow of weapons could be a decisive factor in the war, which has raged for nine months already.

“In Ukraine, the kind of European war thought inconceivable is chewing up the modest stockpiles of artillery, ammunition and air defenses of what some in NATO call Europe’s “bonsai armies,” after the tiny Japanese trees,” the NYT said in its report.

“Even the mighty United States has only limited stocks of the weapons the Ukrainians want and need, and Washington is unwilling to divert key weapons from delicate regions like Taiwan and Korea, where China and North Korea are constantly testing the limits.”
