On happenings in and around the Middle East .... June 30


Worst day of their lives for the families of  the three missing Israeli kids
From CBC:
....Missing Israelis: Bodies found near Hebron reportedly those of teens.
Teens disappeared in West Bank on June 12 while hitchhiking home from religious school.
Israeli TV stations say the bodies of three Israeli teens missing and believed kidnapped in the West Bank have been found near Hebron.

Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gil-Ad Shaer, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, 16, disappeared on the night of June 12 while hitchhiking home from the religious school they were attending, local media reported at the time............

Series of bomb blasts near presidential palace kills two police officers, some reports say the officers died while trying to defuse the bombs. I think I will go with the story below.
From LATimes:
....Bomb blasts near Egypt's presidential palace kill 2 police officers.  A series of bomb blasts near Egypt’s presidential palace killed two police officers and injured 10 other people on Monday, officials and media reports said, two days after another deadly explosion struck the capital.

The bombings occurred on a tensely symbolic day: the one-year anniversary of the start of massive protests that culminated in the Egyptian army removing Islamist president Mohamed Morsi from office. The palace, in Cairo’s affluent Heliopolis district, was to be the scene of anniversary commemorations later Monday......

8 people crucified in Aleppo, Syria by ISIS/ISIL:
From TheTimesUK:
....Isis crucified eight   fighters from rival rebel groups near Aleppo in northern Syria yesterday, ordering that their bodies should remain on display for three days as a warning to others.
The killings came as the Islamic extremists fought other Syrian rebel groups near Damascus. The eight were killed in Deir Hafer, in the east of ­Aleppo province, reportedly because they fought for rival rebel groups that had confronted Isis in the past....

Is Lebanon in the terrorist army's crosshairs?
....The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) militant jihadist group has announced that a man by the name Abdel Salam al-Ordoni is now the group’s Emir, or “prince,” in Lebanon. Lebanon is a country seen by many as ISIS’s next target in the effort to expand its newly created Sunni caliphate that spans Iraq and Syria.
Some suggest Ordoni was responsible for planning a recent suicide attack at a Beirut restaurant. According to NOW media, Ordoni gave orders to provide the two suicide bombers with explosives.
On Wednesday, a suicide bomber blew himself up in Beirut, injuring ten people. The plan was reportedly a botched attack. The initial plan of attack allegedly entailed opening fire on innocents at a restaurant. The suicide bomber would then detonate his vest after running out of ammo. The first bomber would then be complemented by a second, who would wait until police forces arrived to set off his suicide vest.........

ISIS/ISIL shoots people and then crucifies them as seen in Syria (vid below) and now  similar stuff is reported to be happening in Iraq.


From latest stuff on Twitter it looks like Lebanon's Sunnis have pledged their alliance to ISIS/ISIL and that would definitely mean that Jordan's Sunnis will do the same pretty soon.
This is getting more and more dangerous  as I am sure Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers will be viewing what's happening and wondering when they can make their move too.
Bad situation all around.
