Videos showed thick black smoke billowing out from the facility, from where earlier this month armed men freed the prisoners.....comments from gang alliance head Jimmy "Barbeque" Cherizier were recorde and distributed via a rambling 7-minute audio message shared on messaging platform WhatsApp.
"Don't you have any shame?" said Cherizier, directing his remarks at politicians who he said were looking to join the council. "You have taken the country where it is today. You have no idea what will happen," he added.
"I'll know if your kids are in Haiti, if your wives are in Haiti ... if your husbands are in Haiti," he said in an apparent threat to their families.
In his remarks, Cherizier said the resignation of Henry was only "a first step in the battle." MS

Strikes on Ukraine's Most Prized Assets Raise Alarm
"As Russia appears to enjoy a run of success targeting some of Ukraine's most prized
equipment, Moscow is reaping the rewards of both evolving tactics among its soldiers and the bite of military aid shortages in Kyiv.
Within approximately the last two weeks, Russia has said its forces have destroyed a handful of Ukrainian-operated Abrams tanks and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and U.S.-donated HIMARS, or High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems. Russia's Defense Ministry published footage appearing to show a cluster munition strike on Ukrainian transport helicopters in eastern Ukraine. The apparently successful strikes on Ukrainian equipment Russia has doggedly targeted in quick succession likely reflects both an adapting Moscow and gaps in Ukraine's Western-dependent arsenal, experts have suggested."

Pentagon sends elite squad of anti-terror Marines into Haiti to rescue trapped Americans
"The Pentagon is sending further anti-terrorism Marines to Haiti to strengthen security at the
American embassy just 24 hours after the prime minister was forced to resign amid threats of a civil war.
The elite F.A.S.T team was sent to the region as gang violence continues to rage on the streets, with influential gang leader Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier calling for "bloody revolution". Ex-PM Ariel Henry had led the country supposedly on an interim basis since July 2021 after the country's President Jovenel Moïse's was assassinated, but provoked public anger by repeatedly pushing back elections, insisting security had to be restored first.
Heavily armed gangs have tightened their on the capital, and attacked the main prison to help release thousands of inmates, as they called for Henry to quit.
A Republican lawmaker who helped rescue Americans stranded during the violence accused the Biden administration of a "pattern of abandonment" of U.S. citizens, over his response of the crisis." AP

Poll: Netanyahu Tops Rivals as Biden Pressure Campaign Fails
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is far ahead of his political rivals, and right-wing parties would win another election if it were held today, according to a poll released.jpg)
Wednesday by Israel’s Channel 14.
The result led to speculation that pressure from the Biden administration has united Israelis behind Netanyahu as the only leader capable of standing up to the White House on issues such as a Palestinian state and defeating Hamas.
Biden has tried to press Israel to accept a Palestinian state after the war, which Netanyahu has said would be a massive reward to Hamas for terror. Biden has also pressured Israel not to attack Hamas in its last stronghold in the town of Rafah..... the poll found that Netanyahu is preferred to Blue and White Leader Benny Gantz by 47% to 37%, and that he is preferred over opposition leader Yair Lapid of the Yesh Atid Party by an even wider margin of 48% to 28%."
