A recent investigation by IMPACT-se has revealed alarming evidence of Hamas and Islamic Jihad infiltration within UNRWA’s educational system in Gaza, including school principals and deputy principals holding commanding positions in terror units. This investigation uncovered Hamas tunnels beneath two schools, raising concerns about the exploitation of educational facilities for military purposes. Furthermore, the analysis of school materials revealed deeply concerning educational practices that glorify terrorism, incite violence, and erase Israel’s existence. These findings contradict UNRWA’s claims of providing neutral and non-extremist education and highlight a systemic problem within the organization’s educational framework in Gaza, demanding urgent international attention to ensure humanitarian aid and educational support serve their intended purposes without being co-opted by militant groups.

Arshdeep Singh Gill, known as “Arsh Dalla,” a prominent figure in organized crime in Punjab, India, has been arrested in Canada and charged with firearm offenses following a shooting in Milton, Ontario. Dalla, who is also accused of ordering killings in India while residing in Canada, has been designated as a terrorist by the Indian government and was reportedly on their most wanted list. This arrest comes amidst heightened diplomatic tensions between Canada and India, with the Canadian government expelling Indian diplomats and consular officials over alleged targeted campaigns against Canadian citizens. Although India is claiming that they shared Dalla’s coordinates with Canadian authorities requesting his arrest, it remains unclear whether an extradition request was made or if Canada acted upon it.

The recent reports that Russia is suspected of plotting to send incendiary devices on U.S.-bound planes are as chilling as they are infuriating. It’s a grim reminder that we live in a world where state-sponsored terrorism is not just a historical footnote but a present-day threat. The audacity of this move, allegedly orchestrated by the GRU, is as unsettling as it is predictable. When I hear that these incendiary devices, designed to evade detection and cause catastrophic damage, were possibly test runs for more extensive acts of sabotage against civilian airliners, my mind races with the implications.
What kind of strategic thinking leads to a decision like this?… Continue reading
Dr. Hassan Diab, a convicted Lebanese terrorist, has accepted a teaching position at Carlton University in Ottawa, Canada. Diab was found guilty in absentia in a French court for his involvement in a deadly synagogue bombing in Paris in 1980 and sentenced to life imprisonment, but he continues to live freely in Canada. Diab, who denies involvement in the attack, briefly fought extradition in 2008 and fled to Canada following his release from house arrest in France. Diab’s hiring has drawn outrage and condemnation, with critics citing a violation of equality, justice, and dishonoring the victims. A petition calling for his immediate dismissal, led by Bnai Brith Canada, is currently circulating.

A UK court has sentenced a man, Piotr Kucharski, to two and a half years in prison for claiming to be part of the terrorist group, Wagner Group, and for his aggressive behaviour. Kucharski attended a Viking battle reenactment event in combat clothing with Wagner Group patches, where he behaved aggressively and claimed he was fighting for the group in Ukraine. He later stated that these claims were attempts to provoke reactions from other participants due to differing views on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. At a hearing, he pleaded guilty to wearing symbols associated with extreme right-wing ideology and white supremacy. The prosecutor’s office reiterated that it would always prosecute those who support terrorism.

The United Nations special rapporteur for the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has withdrawn from a Montreal conference that included the founder of a designated terror group, Samidoun. Charlotte Kates, founder of Samidoun, had been set to participate in the inaugural “Coordinating Council 4 Palestine” conference. Albanaese’s withdrawal followed outcry from Jewish leaders over her plans to speak at the event, given her alleged antisemitic remarks and planned involvement with a terror group leader. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs has asked for her dismissal from her UN role, and there have been calls to bar her from entering Canada. Kates, based in Vancouver, is a leader of Samidoun, which was designated a terror entity by Canadian and US authorities due to ties with another terror group.

Swedish migration minister, Johan Forssell, has said that individuals supporting terrorist organisations should be deported from the country. Forssell’s comments followed a demonstration supporting Gaza during which flags of known terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah were seen. In response to this, the minister plans to change the law to allow the deportation of those paying tribute to such organizations. Similarly, migration policy spokesperson, Annika Hirvonen, emphasised that supporting terrorism should be banned for all citizens regardless of their immigration status. Earlier, Sweden had introduced stricter regulations for citizenship applicants in a bid to enhance security.

The recent developments in Gaza, particularly the IDF’s operation that has led to the surrender of approximately 60 terrorists while isolating many others, has left me with a mixture of surprise and contemplation. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the realization that a military operation could unfold with such speed and decisiveness. The fact that three brigades, including the 460th Brigade, quickly encircled Jabalya, created an environment where escape was nearly impossible for those remaining militants. To see over fifty thousand civilians evacuating the area after their “fear barrier” was finally broken speaks volumes about the psychological weight that conflict bears on populations caught in the middle of warfare.… Continue reading
