Israeli forces kill at least 13 people in southern Syria raid, officials and residents say
DAMASCUS, Syria — Israeli forces raided a Syrian village and opened fire when they were confronted by residents on Friday, killing at least 13 people, Syrian officials said, in the deadliest Israeli attack since its troops seized a swath of southern Syria a year ago.
Syria’s Foreign Ministry called the attack a “horrific massacre” and said women and children were among those killed.
The Syrian state news agency SANA said Israeli forces entered the village of Beit Jin aiming to seize local men and opened heavy fire after being confronted by residents. Dozens of families fled the area.
Israel said Friday it conducted an operation to apprehend suspects from the Jamaa Islamiya group in Beit Jin who were planning IED and rocket attacks into Israel. It said other fighters opened fire at the troops, injuring six, and that troops returned fire, including bringing in air support. It said the operation had concluded, all of the suspects were apprehended and a number of fighters were killed.
A local official in the village, Walid Okasha, told The Associated Press that those killed were civilians. Among the dead were a man, his wife, his two children and his brother as well as another man who had gotten married the day before.
Firas Daher, a Beit Jin resident, told the AP that troops moved in around 3 a.m. and were met by “slight resistance, with light weapons.” Troops responded with drones and helicopters and fire from heavy machine guns. “Whenever anyone would move inside the village or any car would move, it would get hit. When we tried to take injured people to the hospital, they would hit the car carrying them,” he said.
Since the fall of former Syrian President Bashar Assad in December 2024, Israeli forces have held a slice of southern Syria that was previously a U.N.-patrolled buffer zone under a 1974 disengagement agreement.
Troops have regularly carried out operations in villages and towns inside and outside the zone, including raids snatching people it says are suspected fighters. Israel has also launched hundreds of airstrikes on Syrian military sites and pushed for a demilitarized zone south of Damascus.
Israeli raids have several times been met by armed local residents. In April, troops raided the town of Nawa, and when confronted by residents, the military carried out airstrikes in the town, killing nine people. A month earlier, Israeli forces killed six people in the village of Koayiah in similar clashes during a raid.
In a previous raid on Beit Jin in June, Israeli forces seized several people who they said were Hamas members — a characterization disputed by residents — and killed a man whose family said had a history of schizophrenia.
Israel says it seized the 155-square-mile demilitarized buffer zone in southern Syria in a pre-emptive move to prevent fighters from moving into the area after Islamist insurgents toppled Assad. It says the move is temporary, but critics accuse Israel of taking advantage of Syria’s turmoil for a land grab. Israel still controls the Golan Heights that it captured from Syria during the 1967 Mideast war and later annexed — a move not recognized by most of the international community.
Syrian officials have condemned the Israeli incursions as a violation of Syria’s sovereignty. On Friday the government called for the international community to take “urgent action” to halt Israeli incursions.
Israel has viewed Syria’s new government, headed by former insurgent leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, with suspicion. The two countries, which do not have diplomatic relations, have been negotiating a potential security agreement to de-escalate.
The deaths in Syria followed a series of strikes by Israel’s air force in parts of southern Lebanon on Thursday. Israel says its ongoing strikes are aimed at preventing Hezbollah from rebuilding after a devastating war last year ended with a ceasefire.
The United Nations on Tuesday said Israel had killed at least 127 civilians, including children, in its strikes on Lebanon since the ceasefire a year ago. Things escalated earlier this week with an Israeli strike in Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, killing a senior Hezbollah official whom Israel described as the group’s chief of staff.

San Vicente y las Granadinas tiene un nuevo primer ministro tras 24 años
Por DÁNICA COTO
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — San Vicente y las Granadinas juramentó el viernes a un nuevo primer ministro por primera vez en 24 años, después de que Godwin Friday, del Nuevo Partido Democrático, venciera a Ralph Gonsalves del Partido de la Unidad Laborista.
Gonsalves fue elegido por primera vez en marzo de 2001, lo que lo convierte en uno de los líderes democráticos con más años de servicio en la historia reciente.
Fue un firme defensor del presidente venezolano Nicolás Maduro y del presidente cubano Miguel Díaz-Canel.
El partido de Gonsalves publicó una breve declaración en Facebook tras las elecciones del jueves: “Te amamos, SVG, y seguiremos trabajando y abogando por ti. Esto no es el final, es el comienzo”.
El partido moderado conservador de Friday ganó 14 de las 15 circunscripciones del archipiélago del Caribe oriental.
“La gente ha salido y ha dicho… ‘Queremos un futuro mejor para nosotros’”, afirmó Friday mientras cientos de personas se reunían en Kingstown, la capital, para apoyarlo, muchos de ellos, soplando vuvuzelas con entusiasmo.
”¡Friday! ¡Friday! ¡Friday!” coreaban mientras lo recibían al desembarcar en la isla principal de San Vicente.
Señaló que su campaña comenzó con reuniones en aldeas mientras el apoyo comenzaba a crecer.
“Se que hay muchos desafíos por delante”, dijo a la multitud.
Horas después, Friday fue juramentado en una breve y solemne ceremonia. Prometió mejorar los estándares de vida y ser un primer ministro para todos, independientemente de su tendencia política.
“Sabemos que somos un país pobre, pero podemos hacer mucho más con lo que tenemos de lo que estamos haciendo actualmente”, manifestó.
Friday prometió crear más empleos, aumentar los salarios, mejorar la seguridad e invertir en infraestructura clave en el país de más de 100.000 habitantes.
San Vicente y las Granadinas depende en gran medida del turismo, tiene una tasa de desempleo del 18%, un índice de pobreza del 26% y aún lucha por recuperarse de la erupción del volcán La Soufrière, ocurrida en abril de 2021.
El partido de Friday ha abogado anteriormente por un programa de ciudadanía por inversión y por establecer lazos más estrechos con China, mientras que el partido de Gonsalves había mantenido durante mucho tiempo fuertes relaciones con Taiwán.
Bajo el liderazgo de Gonsalves, San Vicente y las Granadinas firmó el mes pasado un acuerdo de libre movimiento que facilitaría que sus ciudadanos se trasladen a ciertos países del Caribe sin necesidad de visa o permiso de trabajo.
Gonsalves también ayudó a organizar una reunión de emergencia entre los líderes de Venezuela y Guyana, que llegaron a San Vicente en diciembre de 2023 para abordar una amarga disputa fronteriza.
El primer ministro jamaicano Andrew Holness escribió el viernes en las redes sociales que Gonsalves ha sido una voz fuerte dentro de Caricom, un bloque comercial regional, “al abogar constantemente por una cooperación regional más profunda y una comunidad caribeña más integrada”.
“Su pasión por el regionalismo y su inquebrantable creencia en el valor de la acción colectiva han ayudado a dar forma a muchas conversaciones importantes en nuestra Comunidad”, escribió Holness.
El político jamaicano también felicitó a Friday y dijo que esperaba trabajar con él: “Su elección significa un nuevo capítulo para el pueblo de San Vicente”.
El viernes, el gobierno de Maduro expresó su disposición a trabajar con Friday mientras agradecía a Gonsalves, llamándolo “un líder caribeño cuyo compromiso con la integración regional y la defensa de los intereses del Caribe ha sido ejemplar”.
Friday se postuló anteriormente contra Gonsalves en las elecciones de 2020 y perdió.
Cientos de seguidores vestidos de amarillo y azul pasaron la mayor parte del viernes en Kingstown para apoyar al nuevo primer ministro. Algunos se agolparon sobre un ataúd de cartón cubierto con carteles de campaña del partido de Gonsalves mientras soplaban vuvuzelas sobre él.
Más tarde, soltaron el ataúd al mar y se despidieron.

“We Are Everywhere” – Fort Bragg Psychological Warfare Group Posts Chilling Video
“We Are Everywhere” – Fort Bragg Psychological Warfare Group Posts Chilling Video
Authored by Mark Price via Military.com,
A secretive Fort Bragg operation that specializes in influencing people’s thoughts has released a hypnotic recruitment video that is laced with hidden meanings and strange images.
Known as the 4th Psychological Operations-Airborne, or 4th PSYOP, the group specializes in “using the power of the mind to persuade opinion and discourse” among the nation’s enemies.
The 1:17-second clip, posted Nov. 19 on social media, is a string of baffling clips, including old cartoons, masked figures hiding in plain sight and a group of people staring blankly at the viewer over the phrase: “We are everywhere.”
“There is another force applied in combat that we generally don’t think of as a weapon of war. That weapon is words,” the video says.
“Words are weapons… This is psychological warfare.”
The video then beckons: “Join PSYOP.”
As of Nov. 26, the video has racked up more than 15,000 views on Facebook and hundreds of comments and reactions, many noting it “goes hard” with subliminal messages.
Among the surprises found, references to conspiracy theories, the “Ghost Army” that deceived the Nazi generals in WWII and the popular Pepe the Frog GIF shows up in a clown suit. At one point, the phrase “anything we touch is a weapon” flashes and fades.
“Watch it over and over again. Great little nuggets of information for us,” Nidia Law posted on Facebook.
“A lot of crumb drops in this one,” TheJason wrote on Instagram.
“I think y’all have so much fun at work! Would love to be on the other side of this ‘fog show’,” Leigh Eschew said on Instagram.
The U.S. Army noted in a 2024 article that the ideal candidate for psychological operations is “very cerebral and analytical,” which means different types of recruitment methods are required. The group’s recruitment videos are infrequent and tend to cause a stir due to the unusual content.
“The art of PSYOP relies on persuasion rather than physical force. The tools of the trade are logic, fear, desire and other mental factors used to evoke specific emotions, attitudes and behaviors,” according to a U.S. Army report. “The ultimate objective is to persuade enemy, neutral and friendly nations and forces to take favorable actions toward the U.S. and its allies.”
The 4th PSYOP is often referred to as “the ghost in the machine,” because its operations are seldom publicized.
It is based out of Fort Bragg – one of the largest military complexes in the world – and home of the 82nd Airborne and U.S. Army Special Operations Command. The fort covers about 251-square miles is about a 65-mile drive south from downtown Raleigh.
“PSYOP soldiers help ensure decision-makers, partners, and populations receive the right message at the right time. Quiet professionals. Global impact,” the 1st Special Forces Command-Airborne wrote in a post that shared the recruitment video.

Gol de Arambarri acerca a Getafe a pasajes europeos con victoria sobre Elche en La Liga
GETAFE, España (AP) — Un gol del uruguayo Mauro Arambarri en el complemento le dio el viernes a Getafe una victoria de 1-0 sobre Elche y lo llevó al borde de los seis primeros puestos en La Liga, que otorgan pasajes para los torneos europeos.
El resultado puso al conjunto Azulón de vuelta en la senda de la victoria después de derrotas consecutivas por 1-0 ante Atlético de Madrid y Mallorca. Getafe trepó al séptimo lugar, un punto detrás de Espanyol y Real Betis, ambos con un partido menos.
Con 56 minutos transcurridos, el centrocampista Arambarri tocó el balón impactado por Kiko Femenia para empujarlo al arco del Elche.
Aunque Elche tuvo dos tercios de la posesión, no amenazó tanto como esa cifra sugeriría y David Soria estuvo sólido bajo los palos para Getafe.
Fue un resultado decepcionante para un equipo que el fin de semana pasado cedió dos veces la ventaja ante el Real Madrid en un partido que terminó 2-2.
Fue el séptimo partido de liga consecutivo sin ganar para el club ilicitano, que se sitúa duodécimo.

Rennes vence 1-0 a Metz y sube al cuarto lugar en la Ligue 1
METZ, Francia (AP) — El primer gol de la temporada para Valentin Rongier le dio a Rennes una victoria de 1-0 sobre Metz, amenazado por el descenso, y lo colocó en el cuarto lugar de la Ligue 1 el viernes.
El cuarto triunfo consecutivo de Rennes lo llevó por encima de Estrasburgo y Lille.
El equipo de Beye Habib estaba solo detrás de Lens, Marsella y el líder de la liga francesa, Paris Saint-Germain, con quien jugará el próximo fin de semana.
El único gol llegó a mitad de la primera mitad cuando Rongier, quien había mandado un disparo al poste unos minutos antes, encontró la red con un disparo de pierna derecha.
Metz había ganado tres de sus cuatro partidos de liga anteriores y avanzó a medida que avanzaba el juego, pero no pudo conseguir un esquivo empate.
Se mantuvo en el penúltimo lugar con 11 puntos en 14 partidos.

Is Trump’s Third World Immigration Ban A Precursor To The Insurrection Act?
Is Trump’s Third World Immigration Ban A Precursor To The Insurrection Act?
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping plans to tighten immigration rules, including a suspension on migration from “Third World Countries” and cancellation of all federal benefits and subsidies to “noncitizens” in the country.
The decision comes after a terror attack (the shooting of two National Guardsmen) involving an Afghan migrant, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, admitted to the US under a program for Afghan refugees launched by Joe Biden in 2021 (Operation Allies Welcome).
However, the Trump Admin approved the man’s asylum application in 2025 based on his aid to CIA operations in Afghanistan over a ten year period.
The smart move would have been to err on the side of caution, and this is a lesson Trump is apparently taking to heart.
In a pair of Truth Social posts late Thursday night, Trump said he would “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover.”
The president said he would also terminate “millions” of admissions under his predecessor Joe Biden and remove “anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our country.”

Trump added he plans to end all federal benefits and subsidies for noncitizens, “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility,” and deport any foreign national he described as a “public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”
Critics of Trump argue that he has limited power to implement these changes on a large scale.
Democrats are confident that their activist judges will be able to obstruct Trump’s efforts and many Islamic immigrant communities from have laughed off threats of deportations under the premise that they are protected by visa extensions, temporary protection status and naturalization status.
US House Representative Ilhan Omar claims Trump “doesn’t understand the laws” on TPS, for example, and argues that the vast majority of Somali migrants are safe from deportation.
The recent attack in Washington DC combined with mass interference from NGO funded activists and Democrat leaders calling for the military to “resist” Trump’s “illegal orders” (even though no illegal orders have been issued) is blazing a clear path to one conclusion: The Insurrection Act.
Third world migrant colonies in the US might not be as safe as they think they are. Trump’s focus has been on Somali enclaves in places like Minneapolis, MN, where over 25% of all Somalis in the US have congregated, but the problem of migrant colonies is far-reaching.
The surge of Haitian migrants in Springfield, OH took center stage during the presidential debates in 2024 and this tapped into a national conversation about limitations on lack of assimilation by third world asylum seekers. Muslim enclaves in places like Dearborn, MI are another hot topic, with Islamic fundamentalists now essentially running the city and many residents calling for Sharia Law.

Trump already has the ability to cancel TPS extensions, cancel extensions on visas, and expand the ban on immigrant and visa applications from any countries he chooses (19 nations are already on the ban list). However, under the Insurrection Act Trump can deploy the National Guard for direct deportations, rather than simply acting a a barrier between ICE agents and protesters. This would expedite deportations far beyond what is currently possible.
Of course, there will be accusations of constitutional violations, from both Democrats and Republicans. That said, many of these people may not realize how substantial the public support for deportations is. According to surveys, 66% of Americans agree with Trump’s deportation policies, even if a migrant has not committed a crime after entry into the country.
Furthermore, around 40% of Americans back the use of the military for deportations. That’s not a majority, but it’s a massive portion of the population. If Trump were to implement the Insurrection Act it is likely that he would receive groundswell of popular support.
In other words, lack of integration among third world asylum seekers is self sabotage. They have become comfortable with the idea that US laws prevent any real intervention against the process of cultural invasion, but this can change rather quickly. For naturalized citizens there are roadblocks in place, but for all other migrants, the breaking point just arrived.

Overcoming two knee injuries, Oak Forest’s Alex Sebek builds resolve for state title. ‘Really, really happy.’
Oak Forest’s Alex Sebek has all the motivation in the world to make the most of her senior season.
Sebek, who hopes to contend for the state title at 105 pounds, was a state runner-up her freshman season. The last two years, catastrophic knee injuries have caused early ends to her seasons.
The road back hasn’t been the smoothest.
“It was really, really tough,” Sebek said. “There were definitely times when I debated whether I should continue to do this because the process of the recovery was definitely hard on me mentally.
“But I really love wrestling and I just wanted to do everything I could to get back.”
On Nov. 20, Sebek was officially cleared by doctors to resume wrestling.

“I felt really, really happy,” Sebek said. “I was actually jumping around in the doctor’s office. In the back of my head, I’m just praying that this doesn’t happen again for a third time.”
Sebek first injured her right knee in January 2024 while competing with the Bengals’ boys team at the South Suburban Conference Tournament. She attempted to wrestle in the girls regional tournament and believes she may have made things worse.
She was diagnosed with a torn ACL and had surgery that April.
Her first comeback attempt didn’t go as planned.

“I got cleared to wrestle in January, only to re-tear it again a week later,” she said. “So, I had surgery again in February.”
The January injury was on the same right knee. This time, in addition to the ACL, she suffered a torn meniscus.
After the second surgery, Sebek spent most of the first month or so in bed, but she made it to wrestling competitions to support her teammates and her younger brother, Jacob, who placed fourth in Class 2A at 120 pounds as a sophomore last season.
“It was definitely a little rough because I want to be the one to be out there,” Sebek said. “I was like, ‘I wish that was me.’ But being there to help and watch and be around it, that all gave me a good feeling, too.”
Oak Forest coach Jamie Hubbard confirmed that Sebek became an unofficial assistant.
“She really took on a coaching role and she does really well with that,” Hubbard said. “I think our team has grown because of that. She has an ability to teach better than I do. I don’t know what she plans to do with the rest of her life, but she definitely could have a career in it.”
Fellow senior Iyobosa Odiase, a returning state qualifier, is confident Sebek will do big things this season.
“Once she comes back, she’ll be better than ever,” Odiase said. “We already know that. With everything she’s gone through, the motivation that she keeps as she goes through it all definitely inspires the rest of us.”

Now, the trick for Sebek is stay patient. As much as she wants to get out and compete in every tournament, the plan is to ease her back into wrestling.
“I’m definitely going to watch and be very cautious,” she said. “I’m going to do everything I can to make sure I’m OK for the state series. I won’t compete in every tournament or dual, but I’ll always be there to support my team.”
Sebek plans to wrestle in college, although she isn’t sure where yet. But she definitely has some unfinished business to take care of on the high school level first.
“My biggest goal is winning that state title because I fell short of it my freshman year and I missed my opportunities the last two years,” she said. “Now it’s just making sure I can get there.”

Como amplía su racha invicta a 11 partidos tras victoria sobre Sassuolo
COMO, Italia (AP) — Como venció el viernes 2-0 a Sassuolo y extendió su racha invicta a 11 partidos en Italia.
El equipo de Cesc Fàbregas no ha perdido desde finales de agosto cuando cayeron 1-0 de visita ante Bolonia.
La racha incluye victorias de visita ante la Fiorentina y en casa contra la Juventus. La victoria del viernes fue su segundo triunfo en la Serie A en cinco días, tras la goleada 5-1 del lunes sobre Torino.
Como tomó la delantera después de 13 minutos con una jugada de táctica fija.
El practicado tiro de esquina no salió tan perfectamente como se planeó, pero sí resultó en un balón suelto en el área que Anastasios Douvikas empujó a la red desde corta distancia.
El defensor español Alberto Moreno, en apenas su segundo partido como titular en la liga, hizo el 2-0 ocho minutos después del inicio del segundo tiempo cuando conectó de cabeza un delicioso pase de Nico Paz por encima de la defensa de Sassuolo.
El centrocampista argentino cedido por el Real Madrid fue una vez más un destacado para Como y una de las razones por las que el club está a solo tres puntos del líder de la Serie A, Roma.
El club de la capital tiene 27 puntos, dos más que Milán y Nápoles y tres por delante de Inter, Bolonia y Como. Sassuolo es noveno.

España empata 0-0 con Alemania en la ida de la final de la Liga de Naciones Femenina
KAISERSLAUTERN, Alemania (AP) — España escapó de Alemania con un empate sin goles el viernes en el partido de ida de la final de la Liga de Naciones Femenina.
El título se decidirá el martes en Madrid en el Wanda Metropolitano del Atlético de Madrid.
Solo las paradas de Cata Coll —y el poste— mantuvieron a Alemania a raya.
“El resultado es positivo y las veremos de nuevo en el Metropolitano (Estadio). Esto es Alemania”, afirmó Coll. “Sabíamos que serían peligrosas y tendrían sus oportunidades. Afortunadamente, no las concretaron”.
Alemania dominó la primera mitad en Kaiserslautern frente a los 40.000 espectadores mientras que la campeona del mundo, España, estaba irreconocible.
Normalmente maestras de la posesión, las españolas perdieron continuamente el balón bajo la presión de Alemania. La tres veces ganadora del Balón de Oro, Aitana Bonmatí, estuvo ausente mientras España se replegaba en su área.
Coll desvió disparos de Franziska Kett y Klara Bühl, y la defensora Irene Paredes despejó un tiro a puerta de Jule Brand en rápida sucesión alrededor de la media hora cuando las anfitrionas estaban en su mejor momento.
España mejoró en la segunda mitad, pero el equipo de Sara Bermúdez aún tuvo suerte de no quedar atrás en su intento de defender su título de la Liga de Naciones.
Alexia Putellas curvó un disparo justo al lado del poste y luego Esther González voleó un centro de Mariano Caldentey contra el poste en el minuto 53.
Pero Alemania siguió siendo peligrosa mientras el juego se convertía en un intercambio de golpes sin que ningún mediocampo pudiera controlar el ritmo. Bühl envió un disparo bajo al fondo del poste en el minuto 70 y un centro de Brand rozó el travesaño momentos después.
La defensora de Alemania, Janina Minge, comentó: “Todos los que vieron el partido de hoy saben que no solo mantuvimos el ritmo, sino que jugamos muy bien. Si podemos convertir nuestras oportunidades y seguir defendiendo como lo hicimos, podemos conseguir la victoria el martes.”
La primera victoria de España sobre Alemania llegó en las semifinales del Campeonato Europeo 2025, donde Bonmatí anotó en tiempo extra.
España ha llegado a las finales de los últimos cuatro torneos importantes. Venció a Inglaterra en la Copa Mundial Femenina 2023 y superó a Francia en la Liga de Naciones Femenina 2024. Cayó ante Inglaterra en penales en la final de la Eurocopa 2025.

Bolivia: fiscalía ordena detener a hijo del expresidente Arce por supuesto enriquecimiento ilícito
Associated Press
LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — La fiscalía boliviana ordenó el viernes la detención del hijo menor del expresidente Luis Arce contra quien presentó cargos por supuesto enriquecimiento ilícito.
El fiscal general Roger Mariaca dijo en rueda de prensa que imputó a Rafael Arce Mosqueira el presunto delito de “enriquecimiento de terceros con afectación al Estado”. Agregó que el imputado era buscado por la policía para ser llevado ante un juez de medidas cautelares.
La fiscalía refirió que había comenzado una investigación contra Arce Mosqueira por la supuesta compra millonaria de una hacienda denominada “Adán y Eva” por un valor de entre dos y tres millones de dólares. Las indagaciones se paralizaron pero volvieron a activarse en julio. La hacienda de más de 2.000 hectáreas está en la región oriental de Santa Cruz, el motor agroindustrial de Bolivia.
Otro hijo de Arce, Luis Marcelo Arce Mosqueira, fue denunciado el mes pasado por violencia doméstica y una jueza le obligó recibir terapia psicológica. El exmandatario también fue obligado a pagar asistencia familiar a un hijo que presuntamente tuvo con una exfuncionaria pública.
Arce dejó el poder el 8 de noviembre tras la asunción del centroderechista Rodrigo Paz.
Paz denunció que en su primera semana en el gobierno se detectaron presuntos casos de corrupción por unos 15.000 millones de dólares cometidos durante el gobierno de Evo Morales (2006-2019) y su sucesor Arce (2020-2025) y dijo que en las siguientes semanas presentará denuncias concretas.
El viernes era buscado un exfuncionario de menor rango por presunta corrupción en la subvención estatal destinada al pan casero.
El mandatario acusó a su antecesor de dejar sin recursos financieros al Estado y en medio de la peor crisis económica en cuatro décadas.
