WW3 Watch: British Fighter Jets Conduct NATO Mission over Poland After Russian Drone Incursion

"British Royal Air Force fighter jets conducted a NATO defense mission over the skies of Poland in response to Russian drone incursions, the Ministry of Defense has disclosed.

Earlier this month, Warsaw claimed that 19 Russian drones entered Polish airspace amid large-scale strikes throughout Ukraine, forcing the NATO ally to scramble its air forces and shoot down Russian drones since the start of the conflict in Eastern Europe. It was followed by Russian drones entering Romanian airspace and this week by three Russian fighters allegedly entering Estonian airspace.
In a show of force, two British Typhoon fighter jets were deployed for a defensive mission across the skies of Poland on Friday evening, the UK’s Ministry of Defense said on Saturday.
The MOD revealed that the two jets, supported by an RAF Voyager aircraft, patrolled Polish airspace to “deter and defend against aerial threats from Russia, including drones” before returning to the UK early Saturday morning."

ISIS Calls on Muslims to Kill ‘Christians and Jews’ in Europe by Any Means

"ISIS reportedly called upon Muslims to use any means necessary to kill “Christians and Jews” in the United States and Europe, with a specific focus on France, in an edition of its Arabic-language magazine.

Although the so-called Islamic State has lost its physical Caliphate after it was defeated under the first Trump administration, ISIS radicals continue to advocate for their strict interpretation of the Islamic religion and seek to influence impressionable young Muslims in the West to commit acts of terror in its name.
In a copy of its al-Naba obtained by the Centre for the Analysis of Terrorism (CAT) and shared with the French paper of record Le Figaro, ISIS wrote: “O monotheistic Muslims… Hit Jews and Christians, their crowds and convoys, in the streets and on the roads of America and Europe, and especially in France. Do not spare them, attack them, kill them by all means: by car, with a knife, a gun or by causing a fire.” Breitbart
