ISIS' West Africa Province (ISWAP) claimed an attack on Shi'ites in Nigeria, marking its first such attack against the sect in the country, SITE Intelligence Group reports. According to Nigerian outlets, the gunmen stormed the Fudiyyah Islamiyyah School in Yobe, killing three students and wounding one other. https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Jihadist-Threat-Statements/is-imports-war-on-shi-ites-to-nigeria-with-attack-on-boarding-school-in-yobe-state.html

After Telegram founder Pavel Durov's arrest in France, Kremlin-aligned outlets are rushing to his defense. These Telegram channels, which hold tens to hundreds of thousands of subscribers, are on bashing France and the West as anti-free speech governments set on “trampling of democracy.” (Ironic, I know.)

UPDATE: Shortly after, 'Amaq released a video containing three clips of the attacker, who identifies as a Syrian from Deir al-Zour, pledges to to IS leader Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurashi, and explains his motivation. He states in part: "...O Crusaders, you committed massacres in Bosnia, you committed massacres in Palestine, you committed massacres in Sham and Iraq, and you think you will escape?"

Breaking: ISIS claims credit for yesterday's knife attack at a festival in Solingen, Germany. ISIS' 'Amaq cites a "security source" in claiming that the attacker "is a soldier of the Islamic State" who attacked "in revenge for the Muslims in Palestine and elsewhere." Per the latest news reports, the suspect is still at large and German officials have not confirmed a motive. https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Jihadist-Threat-Statements/is-takes-credit-for-knife-attack-in-solingen-germany.html

As SITE Intelligence Group reported, one ISIS-aligned Russian unit shared footage recorded by the hostage-takers, in which one of them states their attack was mean "to avenge not only the brothers who attacked Crocus City but all Muslim brothers and also for the captive scholars, sisters, and children." https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Jihadist-Threat-Chatter/is-aligned-militant-inside-volgograd-prison-declares-strike-on-guards-revenge-for-crocus-city-hall-attackers.html

I also describe one such venue, and how it “serves as a comprehensive clearinghouse for official content from these [terrorist] groups.” Considering these overlaps, universities should be prepared, because there is no reason to think these groups won’t pick up right where they left off once fall semesters resume.

Mass-stabbing in Eskişehir, Turkey, results in numerous injuries, but no deaths as of yet. SITE Intelligence Group has obtained a manifesto, a livestreamed video, and other content shared by the alleged stabber. These items contain all the signals of today's neo-Nazi accelerationist terrorists: adoration for 2019 Christchurch shooter Brenton Tarrant, sharing of content by the Terrorgram collective, a livestreamed video of his attack, and so on.

Yahya Sinwar's new role as Hamas' political chief is telling of both where the group's power lies internally and how it will approach its war with Israel going forward.

Hamas neither confirms nor denies reports that Israel killed Mohammad Deif, its military leader and a key architect of the October 7 attacks, SITE reports. IDF confirmed Deif was killed in an airstrike on July 13. “Confirming or denying the martyrdom of any of the al-Qassam commanders is the business of the al-Qassam Brigades' commandership and the movement's leadership,” a Hamas spokesperson stated.

Hamas mourns the death of its political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, from a suspected Israeli airstrike in Tehran, SITE Intelligence Group reports. Hamas' first communique confirming his death came only minutes after news emerged of the airstrike in Iran. The group called the attack "cowardly" and vowed that its leaders' spilled blood will be a "beacon on the path to liberation."

In a rare attack in Benin, JNIM claims a raid on an army post, allegedly killing 13 soldiers, SITE reports. The group claims that two days ago, its fighters "were able to storm a Beninese army headquarters in Chaladotibi, in the Karimama area, which resulted in the death of 13 enemy elements and the seizure of 2 PKS, an RPG, 13 Kalashnikovs, and other military equipment."

Mustafa Hamid, father-in-law of al-Qaeda leader Saif al-Adel, praised attacks on Israel by Houthis "heroes" and Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq. "Yemen's bombing of Tel Aviv, even with a single drone, has opened a new door with a profound impact on a limited number of Muslims, who, while they hold burning embers, represent the oppressed majority in the Islamic Ummah."

More than a week after a prison break at the Koutoukale prison near Niamey, Niger, ISIS revealed its responsibility in an "exclusive" report in an-Naba 452, SITE Intelligence Group reports. https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Jihadist-Threat-Statements/is-takes-credit-for-prison-break-near-nigerien-capital-gives-details-of-bold-operation-in-an-naba-452.html

IS continues to promote its unprecedented attack near a Shi'a mosque in Muscat, Oman, with a new 'Amaq video showing the executors pledging allegiance to the "Caliph" and calling on Muslims to "wake up" as an incitement to conduct further violence, SITE Intelligence Group reports. https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Jihadist-Threat-Multimedia/executors-of-is-claimed-attack-in-oman-incite-muslims-wake-up-pledge-to-caliph-in-posthumous-amaq-video.html

Some users on 4chan are emphasizing his apparent firearms enthusiasm—alongside his Republican Party registration—to argue, “He clearly wasn’t a lefty." A self-described anarchist even chimed in, exclaiming how they were “just genuinely confused how it wasnt one of us.” https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Far-Right-Far-Left-Threat/he-clearly-wasn-t-a-lefty-far-right-users-point-to-thomas-crooks-gun-hobbyist-t-shirt-while-speculating-motives.html

As expected based on chatter collected by SITE Intelligence Group, ISIS has claimed responsibility for the last night's attack near a Shi'a mosque in the al-Wadi al-Kabir area of Muscat, the capital of Oman. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rita-katz_as-expected-based-on-chatter-collected-by-activity-7219073987807490048-3ofL?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
