Whenever Israel does anything, the media rants about how they are escalating the war. Meanwhile, Iran can send out their Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah terrorists and get rewarded by the U.S. Once again, after the killing of the Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, the media is ranting. However, Israel has not taken credit for the assassination […] The post Haniyeh Killed by a Bomb Planted Weeks Ago appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

After Italian boxer Angela Carini was powerfully punched twice by an Algerian boxer in the Paris Olympics who had previously been barred from fighting women, she stopped her bout 46 seconds in and broke down in tears, saying she had never been hit so hard. Carini, 25, was fighting Algerian Imane Khelif, who was disqualified from the women’s World Championship in 2023 after failing testosterone and gender eligibility tests. International Amateur Boxing President Umar Kremlev asserted that DNA tests had “proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded.” In Carini’s match against Khelif, one punch “dislodged her chinstrap and a second smashed against her chin and bloodied her shorts,” The Guardian reported.

I don’t know if you can hear; he’s my father,” Carini said in tears after the match, holding up a phone to show a photo of her father. “I did the ‘last kilometer’ because one day, I felt tired. Before Tokyo, I felt tired. I said, ‘Dad, I’m tired, the training is intense, but I won’t give up.’ He said to me, ‘Angelina, a champion is a bit like cycling; the champion, when they see the last kilometer, you know what they do? They pedal even harder. So you reach that last kilometer and pedal. Go all the way, because I’ll always be with you.’ And so I did. Until the end, I fought with blood in my eyes because I wanted this victory at all costs just for my father.” “I am heartbroken,” Carini said. “I went to the ring to honor my father. I was told a lot of times that I was a warrior but I preferred to stop for my health. I have never felt a punch like this. …  I got into the ring to fight. I didn’t give up, but one punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I’m going out with my head held high.” “I wanted this victory at all costs. Just for my father.” Italian boxer Angela Carini emotionally discusses winning for her late father after securing a spot at the Paris Olympics.

I said enough, because I didn’t want,” she continued. ”I couldn’t finish the fight after the punch to the nose. So it was better to put an end to it. I am in pieces because I am a fighter; they taught me to be a warrior. I have always tried to behave with honor; I have always represented my country with loyalty. This time I didn’t manage to because I couldn’t fight anymore. Regardless of the person I had in front, of me, which doesn’t interest me, regardless of all the row, I just wanted to win. I wanted to face the person that I had in front of me and to fight.” “I am not one that gives in easily,” Carini said when asked if she should have eschewed fighting the Algerian. “No, even if they had said that we wouldn’t fight, I would never have accepted it. I have a warrior’s mentality. This time I didn’t manage. I felt too much pain on my nose. I said enough. It’s not a defeat for me, for me if you go in the ring you have already won, regardless of everything else. I’m not here to judge. It’s not up to me to say if it’s fair or not fair. I just did my job. I managed to leave with my head held high. I’m a mature woman, when I feel I cannot continue, it’s not giving in, it’s having the dignity to say enough. I was convinced I would win, I was concentrated, serene. But these punches to the nose hurt, I said enough.” “I am here for gold,” Khelif told the BBC. “I will fight anybody. I will fight them all.” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reacted, “I think that athletes who have male genetic characteristics should not be admitted to women’s competitions. And not because you want to discriminate against someone, but to protect the right of female athletes to be able to compete on equal terms.  I was emotional yesterday when she wrote ‘I will fight’ because the dedication, the head, the character, surely also play a role in these things. But then it also matters to be able to compete on equal grounds and from my point of view it was not an even contest.”

With the threat of the Japanese Navy eliminated, General Smith and his Fifth Amphibious Corps on Saipan were free to continue the fight without fear of being stranded. For Saitō’s men on the island, however, Ozawa’s defeat made their own eventual annihilation a fait accompli. American strength would continue to build while the isolated Japanese force steadily weakened as it was ground down and destroyed. With no hope of reinforcements and resupply, the defenders resigned themselves to suffer the same end as would every Japanese island garrison across the Pacific unfortunate enough to have the weight of U.S. power come down on them with no line of retreat. All that remained was to fight as hard as they could and make the Americans pay for every inch of ground before selling their lives for their god-emperor. This suicidal mindset would set the tone for nineteen days of combat to follow. There were no easy victories on these Pacific islands against an enemy that had been raised to give his life for his emperor without question and never surrender. Said Marine Rick Spooner: “Our principle objective was to stay alive ourselves. Not day-to-day but from one minute to the next.” US Marines moving positions during battle in Garapan, during the Pacific Campaign of World War Two, Saipan, circa 1943-1945. (Photo by US Marine Corps/Getty Images) With the entirety of the Fifth Amphibious Corps ashore, and U.S. warships once again cruising the waters off Saipan to add their air power and big guns in support, the Marines and soldiers embarked on pushing Saitō’s determined defenders off the island. Even with the awesome fire support from offshore batteries and strafing and rocket-firing fighter-bombers, progress was agonizingly slow. The determined Japanese infantry contested every hill, every field, every little town, every ravine and cave using cover to mask machine gun nests, pillboxes, and snipers while their artillery lobbed in shells from protected positions on the other side of steep limestone ridges. And civilians caught in the cross-fire added another dimension of difficulties for the Americans. U.S. planners had originally scheduled the next phase of the Marianas campaign, the capture of Guam, for June 18. Because of the unexpected resistance on Saipan, however, that timetable was scrapped as the true nature of the bloodbath ashore was revealing itself. The Guam invasion was postponed until July 21.

(Photo by US Marine Corps/Getty Images) Throughout the rest of June and into July, under a baking sun and often short of water, the Americans on Saipan fought their way northward towards the neck and head of the dinosaur. While the 2nd and 4th Marine Divisions moved up the left and right side of the island respectively, the Army 7th Division pushed up the center. Progress was agonizingly slow. Fighting was especially brutal and prolonged around Mount Tapochau with artillery raining down from its slopes into the valleys where the Americans gave the surrounding battle sites names like “Death Valley” and “Purple Heart Ridge.” But the fighting continued. Said 2nd Marine Kenneth Killilea, “There was bayonets, there was K-knives, there was butts of rifles, it was fight and counter-fight all the way to the end.” Marines finally stormed the summit on June 25, D+9, and beat off repeated Japanese attempts to retake Saipan’s highest point.

Naval History and Heritage Command. By July the remaining Japanese resistance began to crumble as the defenders were being squeezed into the northern tip of the island. Saitō decided the situation was hopeless and sent out orders for the remainder of his forces to perform gyokusai, one final suicide attack to destroy as many of the enemy as possible before dying. He then committed ritual suicide. In the pre-dawn darkness of July 7, an estimated 4,000 Japanese shouting “Banzai!” wielding rifles, swords, bayonets and knives charged in waves towards an encampment of soldiers and Marines near Tanapag Harbor. They overran several positions, including the 105th Infantry Regiment command post, killing or wounding over 1,000 Americans in often hand-to-hand combat before being beaten back with point-blank machine gun fire and artillery. It was the largest Banzai charge of the war. The attackers were killed to a man. Spooner contemplated the grisly aftermath of the enemy corpses baking in the tropical heat: “There were places where they were piled three and four high as they tried to advance over their dead.” But as awful as the night of the 7th was, had the Japanese remained in their positions to be rooted out one by one, as would happen later on Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the final tally in U.S. casualties would have no doubt been much higher. This final desperate gesture of the Samurai spirit effectively ended organized resistance on Saipan. On July 9 the island was officially declared “secured.” First Lieutenant Robert B Sheeks, a combat Intelligence and Japanese Language Officer with the 2nd Marine Division of the United States Marine Corps talks with a Chamorro woman and her children.

At the cliffs of Marpi Point on the northern tip of the island the Americans witnessed a tragedy. The Japanese military had brainwashed the island’s inhabitants into believing that if taken by the American “devils” they would be raped, tortured, and murdered and their babies eaten. Over loudspeakers interpreters tried to assure the terrified civilians they’d be treated humanely. Some did come over to U.S. lines where food, medical attention and kindly treatment greeted them. But, sadly, many were not persuaded. The Americans, many still teenagers, watched helplessly as some 1,000 civilians chose to commit suicide by leaping to their deaths to the rocky shore 600 feet below. Some mothers first tossed their babies before taking the death plunge themselves. For many a Marine and soldier hardened by weeks of brutal combat, this was the nightmare that would stay with them for the rest of their lives. “Into The Sea.” USMC photo by Sgt. R. B. Opper. Courtesy: 1-24thmarines.com For the Americans, Operation Forager was an ominous harbinger of the battles to come. In 25 days of combat the U.S. lost some 3,200 killed and another 13,000 wounded. Of the 31,000 Japanese defenders, only 1,800 were taken prisoner (half of them Korean laborers). Thousands of civilians also lost their lives being cut down in the fighting itself or by suicide.  As noted, the invasion of Saipan had been the largest amphibious operation of the Pacific War to date. That it took place just nine days after the massive Normandy landings in France on the other side of the world was a testament to the growing might of a United States now fully mobilized for war. What this heralded for the Japanese war effort was not lost on Tokyo. Raising the flag at Marpi airfield, 9 July 1944. USMC photo by Sgt. Nick Ragus. Courtesy: 1-24thmarines.com As expected, the loss of Saipan, and the subsequent capture of Guam and Tinian after more bloody fighting, prompted Emperor Hirohito to withdraw his support for Tojo’s government which fell out of power. For the Japanese civilians on the home islands, the Marianas campaign initiated a new and much deadlier phase of the war. Once captured, USAAF and Navy engineers constructed six massive airfields on the newly acquired Marianas capable of fielding hundreds of massive B-29s. Two U.S. soldiers watching the takeoff of a B-29 bomber from the air base at Saipan, destination Tokyo. Saipan, 23rd November 1944 (Photo by Mondadori via Getty Images) On November 24, 1944, the first Superfortresses took off from the islands to raid Japan now just 1,200 miles away. Within a few months hundreds of bombers per mission were flying from the new bases to devastate the home islands. On the night of March 9-10, 1945, over 300 B-29s from Saipan firebombed Tokyo, killing an estimated 100,000 residents and burning out fourteen square miles of the city, earning it the gruesome distinction of being the single deadliest event in the history of warfare. By war’s end anywhere from 200,000 to 500,000 Japanese civilians would die in the unrelenting bombings, along with five million made homeless. At least 40% of over 60 of Japan’s cities were burned out; the nation’s capacity to wage war eventually ceased to exist. And finally as if to fully express what the loss of the Marianas signified, the B-29s Enola Gay and Bockscar which dropped the atomic bombs that obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively flew from Tinian island. Before the Americans took the Marianas, for the Japanese populace the war had been a distant spectacle. Afterwards, hell would come to their doorsteps, and an already brutal Pacific War would escalate to a new strata of violence. Due in large part to the rain of fire coming out of the Marianas, Japan’s nightmare finally came to a merciful end in September 1945 when a victorious American fleet, including many warships that participated in the epic Battle of the Philippine Sea, sailed into Tokyo Bay. Considering the violence and hatred expressed on battlefields like Saipan, one hopes that those who fought there 80 years ago did not do so in vain. Indeed, as per Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, Gen. Douglas MacArthur upon accepting Japan’s formal surrender: “It is my earnest hope, and indeed the hope of all mankind, that a better world shall emerge from the blood and carnage of the past.” Perhaps, in the end, this was what Saipan and all the bloody battles of the Pacific that marked the way to that moment were all about.  * * * RELATED: The Battle Of Saipan, Part One: Invasion RELATED: The Battle Of Saipan, Part Two: The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot RELATED: The Battle Of Saipan, Part Three: Mission Beyond Darkness * * * Brad Schaeffer is a commodities trader, columnist, and author of two acclaimed novels.

The United States women’s water polo team got a surprising response when Team USA Captain Maggie Steffens put out a call for sponsors to help the team — which has won three consecutive Olympic gold medals and is battling for a fourth in Paris. Flavor Flav, the American rapper born William Jonathan Drayton Jr., stepped up — and in addition to offering to financially support the whole team, appointed himself the team’s official hype man as well. The unlikely partnership began with an Instagram post in May, in which Steffens explained that because water polo was less visible than some other sports, even three-time gold medalists like herself were holding two or even three jobs in order to keep up their training. “Many of my teammates aren’t just badass champions, but also teachers, business owners, coaches, physicians assistants, and more. Some may not know this, but most Olympians need a 2nd (or 3rd) job to support chasing the dream (myself included!) and most teams rely on sponsors for travel, accommodations, nutritional support, rent/lodging, and simply affording to live in this day and age. Especially female sports and female athletes,” she said in part.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Maggie Steffens (@maggie.steffens) Flavor Flav responded: “AYYY YOOO,,, as a girl dad and supporter of all women’s sports – imma personally sponsor you my girl,,, whatever you need. And imma sponsor the whole team. My manager is in touch with your agent and imma use all my relationships and resources to help all y’all even more. That’s a FLAVOR FLAV promise.” In addition to sponsoring the team financially, he promised to be “the biggest hype man” and “the biggest cheerleader” that any on the team had ever seen.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Flavor Flav ⏰ (@flavorflavofficial) The rapper has been as good as his word, rocking a water polo cap and Team USA jersey in the stands at the Paris Olympics — with the signature clock around his neck declaring that it’s water polo time. He even went so far as to get in the water and play with the team prior to their appearance at the Olympics. “This ain’t easy,” he said with a laugh, but after some encouragement from the ladies, he added, “My crew says I did good.” Ahead of the 2024 Olympic games, @FlavorFlav tried his hand at a game of water polo with the US women’s team.

Michele Kang, owner of several women’s soccer clubs, pledged $4 million in donations to the team earlier this week. Flavor Flav cheered her support, and put out a call for even more sponsors to come forward and do the same. “This is the type of commitment and support ya boy has been pushing for,!!!

The bomb that killed Ismail Haniyeh, the top leader of Hamas, in Iran early Wednesday was planted several weeks ago, according to a new report. Haniyeh traveled to Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, and had been seen at the event in the hours before the attack. Sources told The New York Times that assassins placed the explosive roughly two months ago in a Tehran guesthouse protected by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps where Haniyeh had stayed before. Breaking News: Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader assassinated in Iran this week, was killed by a bomb smuggled into his guesthouse months ago, Middle Eastern officials said. https://t.co/O8sfQVjnNE — The New York Times (@nytimes) August 1, 2024 When it was confirmed that Haniyeh was in his room at the guesthouse, the explosive was detonated remotely early on Wednesday, killing him and a bodyguard, officials said. Photos showed that the explosion, which resulted in a loud noise, shook the building, shattered windows, and knocked down part of an exterior wall. The report said a team of medics rushed to the room and declared Haniyeh dead. They tried, unsuccessfully, to revive the bodyguard. Khalil al-Hayya, the deputy commander of Hamas in the Gaza Strip who was also in Tehran, arrived at the scene and saw Haniyeh’s corpse, officials said. Sources told the newspaper the room next door, where Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ziyad al-Nakhalah was staying, was not badly damaged in the blast. The report emphasized that it was not clear how the bomb made its way into the guesthouse. It also dismissed early speculation of a missile strike. Iranian and U.S. officials have pinned the assassination on Israel, which has not publicly claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the report. However, sources told the newspaper that Israeli intelligence officials briefed U.S. and other Western governments on the operation after it took place. A top Israeli intelligence official had vowed to “take out” Hamas, including in foreign countries, after the group’s October 7 terrorist attacks. In retaliation for the killing of Haniyeh this week, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered a direct strike on Israel. Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday that a July 13 strike in Gaza killed Mohammed Deif, the commander of the terrorist group Hamas’ military wing, who was second only to Yahya Sinwar in the strip.

A Christian family camping in Florida was the target of false reports of child abuse, and now their accusers are being investigated by the state. JD and Britney Lott, two military veterans from Texas, and their eight kids were camping and posting to their social media following of more than 600,000 when they were contacted by Florida’s Department of Children and Families (DCF). The family explained the situation in a two–part Instagram series and included screenshots of the messages they received. Their story began just a few weeks after Britney gave birth to their eighth daughter, Florida’s Voice reported. Britney told the outlet she received a message online claiming her child was suffering from “severe jaundice, severe sunburn, and lethargy.” Britney deleted the message and blocked the sender. But, according to the family’s Instagram post, this “wasn’t just one person.” “Turns out it’s an entire group of anti-Christian group – working together – on Reddit who concocted this crazy story about us,” the Lotts said. At the end of April, the family had just left Florida after camping at the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park when they received a message from the DCF saying they were under investigation. The Lotts knew immediately where the allegations had come from: An anti-Christian Reddit group that had been targeting the family for years. The group had ramped up its accusations against the Lotts since their youngest child was born, with a “revolving door” of false accusations. “The level of infatuation required to research the various diseases and disorders our new baby might have is concerning. Does he have to have a serious health issue for them to feel justified? At what point do we admit it’s not about his health but their desire to harm us?” the Lotts said on Instagram. The Lotts said they believed a member of the Reddit group had figured out where they were staying and had called in the false report. The Reddit group, FundieSnarkUncensored, has more than 200,000 members and describes itself as a group dedicated to criticizing “fundamentalist Christianity and extreme Christian views.” In now-deleted screenshots provided to The Daily Wire, the group posts photos of screenshots from the family’s social media posts and claims they show child abuse. In one photo of the couple’s newborn baby, members of the Reddit group claim the newborn “has such a severely burnt face from being AT THE BEACH with no sun protection,” without any proof other than the photo of the newborn with a slightly red face. Another screenshot, taken days before the family was reported, showed a user saying they had “identified their current location and I’m reporting to FL abuse hotline,” with other members cheering their decision. Screenshot via Family Freedom Project A post from a month earlier showed members discussing how to report the family, including finding their location and saying that “a few” members had already reported the family. Numerous screenshots show members asking where the family is so they can be reported. Screenshot via Family Freedom Project When DCF contacted the family, it quoted verbatim a comment on one of the family’s photos as the basis for its investigation, even using the same terms of “jaundice, lethargy, and sunburn,” according to a synopsis of the case from the Family Freedom Project (FFP), which is assisting the Lotts. DCF contacted the family on April 30 – just after they left Florida – and demanded a welfare check on the children, otherwise they would “seek an Order To Take Into Custody which is enforceable nationwide.” Screenshot via Family Freedom Project JD spoke to the caseworker, according to FFP, and requested time to find an attorney. The caseworker allegedly told the father that if the children were not available for inspection by the end of the day, they would be removed from the family. The family contacted the Texas Home School Coalition and FFP, which found them an attorney who arranged for the children to go to a Georgia urgent care facility so that a doctor could inspect the children. That doctor, along with a Georgia police officer, found no issues with the children and reported back to DCF while also reportedly expressing indignation at the spurious allegation that had been treated as dire by DCF. DCF then informed the family that it had closed the case against them. Members of the Reddit group still discuss filing reports with children’s services and continue to post photos of the couple’s baby, claiming something is wrong. The family’s attorney, Lynn Salvatore, told Florida’s Voice that situations like these are “not uncommon.” “What amazes me is that the amount of time and energy that these people on Reddit spend to target this family and other families is mind boggling. If they could just channel that energy for something that is productive, it would be amazing, the world would be a better place,” Salvatore told the outlet. JD told the outlet that it was “sickening” that a group would make a “coordinated effort to harm our family by swatting us using the government.” “The question is, are we actually free? Are we, as Americans, free because if we can’t say online that ‘I believe in the Lord and I believe in Jesus Christ,’ then am I free? I would say no, if I can’t say that without my children being taken, that’s not a free country anymore,” Britney added. Florida’s DCF told The Daily Wire that it “is required to investigate all allegations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment to ensure the safety of children. Under section 39.202 of the Florida Statutes, any information about these investigations is strictly confidential, ensuring the privacy and safety of all involved.” “False reports are reported to law enforcement for criminal investigation and prosecution. Filing a false report is a felony with legal consequences, as outlined in 39.205, F.S., and is also a drain on Department resources dedicated to protecting children from abuse and exploitation,” it added. The DCF confirmed to The Daily Wire that the department referred the false reports to law enforcement and that law enforcement is investigating. Bryan Griffin, communications director for Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office, told The Daily Wire that “utilizing government entities to make false reports or harass others is unacceptable and will be referred to law enforcement for investigation and ultimately prosecution.”

Part of what makes the Olympics special is the gathering of so many cultures. Each country has their own ways of celebrating their wins, but New Zealand’s tradition of the Haka may be one of the very best. The Haka started off as a war dance, originating from the country’s Indigenous Māori people. Nowadays, however, you’ll see this dance performed for a variety of occasions, including in sports. It’s fitting, then, that the Haka would be performed at the Paris Olympics. This amazing moment took place after the New Zealand women’s rugby team took home the gold after a match with Canada. This 19-12 victory marked their first gold medal at the Paris Olympics. It’s also their second straight win in Olympic competition. In other words, this incredible group of women had a lot to celebrate! To do so in a way that represents their country, they performed the Haka right after winning the gold. Watch their chilling performance in the video below. At first, the women’s chants start off on the quieter side. But then, their voices quickly raise, making the overall performance that much more emotional. This, combined with their movements, never fails to stir up a variety of emotions in viewers. This is true matter if you’re from New Zealand or somewhere on the other side of the world. New Zealand Rugby Team Delivers Chilling Haka Dance After Winning Gold Medal at the Paris Olympics “This remains, in my opinion, one of the coolest things to exist in any culture, anywhere,” someone says in the comment section of the performance, with another adding, “Goosebumps every time.” “I love that the whole world stops for the Haka performances,” a third person shares. “No matter the occasion or location on earth, we all give the respect and space for this beautiful tradition.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

When this stray dog first found himself on a stranger’s farm, he had no way of knowing he’d just wandered into the most loving home. Mark Farmer (yes, that’s his name!) was heartbroken when he saw the starving pooch walking around the property. His own dog, Luna, immediately rushed over to greet the newcomer. However, her enthusiasm may have proved a bit much for the stray, who ran off. Mark was determined to help the emaciated canine. He followed the stray dog around the farm with food and water until the hungry pup finally worked up the courage to dig in. The farmer shared some footage of the frightened animal on social media. “He won the lottery he just doesn’t know it yet,” he wrote in his caption. @markontheranch He won the lottery he just doesnt know it yet. ♬ Miracles (feat. Tina Stachowiak) – Axel Johansson In an update, Mark revealed that he eventually got the animal to come inside the house. There, he rewarded the pooch with more food. Before he could give the stray dog a permanent home on the farm, though, he needed to know more about what kind of shape he was in. So, he took him to the vet for a check-up. As he had guessed, the dog was severely underweight. He was also suffering from parasites. “We found out it wasn’t going to be easy, but I knew I couldn’t turn my back on this pup,” said Mark. @markontheranch 3 weeks into forever #rescuedog #goodboy #recovery ♬ original sound – Mark After just three weeks of living on the farm, this stray dog was starting to look much better. Not only had he put on a little weight, but he’d also been learning to make himself at home. Mark’s footage shows the dog playing, napping, and hanging out with the other pets as though he’d always lived there! According to Today, the farmer decided to name the new pup Roman. He explained that this was a clever play on words, since he’d discovered the stray dog “roaming around on my farm.” Mark is happy to report that, so far, that the pooch is having no trouble fitting in with the other critters on the property. “He has done so well with all of my other animals,” he said. “I have footage of him interacting with my baby goats, sniffing them through the fence and just acting totally fine.” We’re so glad this lucky pup stumbled upon such a wonderful new home!
