Nigeria Air Strike: America has carried out a massive air strike on ISIS terrorist bases in the north-western regions of Nigeria. The Nigerian government has issued its official statement regarding this attack.

The government said that it is continuously conducting security and intelligence cooperation with other international partners including the US to combat terrorism and violent extremism. Under this cooperation, terrorist targets in North West Nigeria were precisely targeted through air strikes.

Foreign Ministry issued statement

The Foreign Ministry said that this cooperation is taking place under international rules and bilateral agreements. This includes exchange of intelligence, strategic coordination and other necessary support. All these activities are being carried out in accordance with international law, respect for sovereignty and shared commitments to regional and global security.

The Government of Nigeria reiterated that the main objective of all counter-terrorism efforts is to protect civilians, protect national unity and protect the rights and dignity of all citizens. Terrorist violence against any community, regardless of one’s faith or ethnicity, is an affront to Nigerian values ​​and international peace.

Efforts to weaken terrorist networks

The Federal Government, along with its partners, is making sustained efforts to disrupt terrorist networks, disrupt their financing and logistics, and counter threats emanating from across the border. At the same time, Nigeria is strengthening its security institutions and intelligence capabilities. The Ministry of External Affairs said that this security and intelligence cooperation will continue and the public will be regularly informed through appropriate official channels.

It is noteworthy that Nigeria has been facing terrorist violence for a long time. The activities of groups linked to ISIS and organizations like Boko Haram continue in the northern and north-eastern parts of the country.

He wrote that the hideouts of ISIS terrorists operating in northwestern Nigeria were targeted. Trump said, ‘Tonight the Commander in Chief, on my instructions, targeted ISIS terrorists in northwest Nigeria.

Accused of targeting Christians

President Trump alleged that these terrorists were targeting and brutally killing innocent Christians. He said that such level of violence has not been seen in many years or even centuries. According to Trump, he had already warned these terrorists that if the killing of Christians did not stop, they would have to face serious consequences.

‘Warned’

Trump wrote in his message, ‘I had already warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the massacre of Christians, they would have to pay a heavy price and the same happened tonight.’

American army did a perfect strike

According to the President, America carried out many precise air strikes in this military operation. He said that the US Defense Department carried out this action. Trump wrote, ‘The Department of War delivered many perfect strikes, something only the United States can do.’

Strict stance against terrorism

Trump said that this action reflects his tough stance against terrorism. He wrote, ‘Under my leadership our country will not allow radical Islamic terrorism to flourish.’ Along with this, he praised the American Army and while wishing a Merry Christmas, he said, ‘God bless our army and Merry Christmas to everyone, even the dead terrorists, Merry Christmas.’ At the same time, the US Africa Command (US AFRICOM) has said that the action taken against ISIS in Sokoto, Nigeria (called ‘Soboto’ in the AFRICOM statement) was taken at the request of the Nigerian authorities.

Israel launched a major air attack on Gaza City on Thursday (9 October) night. The attack took place when Israel’s cabinet was meeting to vote on US President Donald Trump’s ‘Gaza Peace Plan’, which aims to permanently end the Gaza war.

According to American media CNN, the security agency controlled by Hamas said that due to this attack in Sabra area of ​​Gaza City, a multi-storey building collapsed, due to which about 40 people were buried under the debris. The Israeli Army (IDF) confirmed the attack and said that the target was Hamas terrorists.

IDF statement- ‘Attack on Hamas hideout’

Gaza’s Civil Defense Agency said that four bodies have been recovered so far, while dozens of people are still trapped under the debris. Meanwhile, Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Hospital, informed that 30 Palestinians have been killed since Wednesday evening. According to the IDF statement, “We targeted Hamas terrorists who were located close to Israeli soldiers and posed an immediate threat to them.”

According to AFP, a team of about 200 American soldiers will be deployed to monitor the ceasefire in Gaza. This step has been taken to make the recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas successful and to assist in the release process of hostages.

Trump announced ceasefire agreement

Just hours before the attack, US President Donald Trump had announced that Israel and Hamas had agreed on the first phase of ceasefire. According to him, “As soon as the Israeli government approves this agreement, the war will end immediately.” Trump said that this agreement will also pave the way for the release of the hostages and expressed hope that all the hostages will be released in 1-2 days.

What did Trump say?

President Trump described this agreement as a historic and important step, which will bring major progress towards ending the two-year-long conflict. He said that this agreement is the first phase of his 20-point peace plan, under which Hamas will release all the hostages and Israel will withdraw its forces to the agreed limit.

Prime Minister Modi spoke to Netanyahu

Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During this, Prime Minister Modi congratulated Netanyahu on the agreement to release all the hostages.

A tweet issued by the Prime Minister’s Office said, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. Prime Minister Modi expressed his good wishes to Prime Minister Netanyahu on the agreement for the release of all hostages.”

Despite the peace proposal of Donald Trump regarding the ceasefire in Gaza, Israel has continued to attack strongly. On Saturday (October 04), at least 70 Palestinians died in the Israeli air strikes, including 7 children. The age of children is said to be between 2 months to 8 years.

US President Donald Trump said that Hamas has accepted certain conditions, so bombing should be stopped with immediate effect. However, according to Al-Jazeera, 45 people have been officially confirmed. In recent weeks, Gaza’s population has been affected due to Israeli’s aggression and a large number of people were forced to migrate from their homes.

Attacks in these areas

A residential building in Tufah was specially attacked, in which at least 18 people died. The Al-Masi camp in Southern Gaza was also attacked, in which two children were killed and 8 people were injured. Donald Trump warned that if Hamas does not release the hostages soon, the attacks will start again. Trump also said that Israel has announced to recall his army from Gaza.

He further said that as soon as Hamas Accepted the Agreement, the ceasefire will apply and the exchange of hostages and prisoners will start. Hamas has said that Israel will have to release 2000 Palestinian prisoners instead of hostages. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hamas will have to leave weapons.

The death toll has exceeded 67,000

The number of Palestinians who died in the conflict continued for two years has exceeded 67,000. Gaza’s Health Ministry said that more than 700 new names have been added to the list of the dead and the data has been verified. At the same time, the Israeli army said that it is preparing for the first phase of the plan to end the war in Gaza and return all the remaining hostages. An official said that the army will no longer attack aggressively.
