🏴 ❌️ 🇴🇲 9 killed, including 3 suspects, in rare shooting near mosque in Oman's capital

🔶️ At least nine people were killed, including three suspects, and dozens of others injured in a shooting near a mosque in Oman's capital, Muscat, in a rare flare of violence in the Middle Eastern Sultanate.

🔶️ The shooting took place near a mosque in the al-Wadi al-Kabir neighborhood in the east of the city, the Royal Oman Police said in a post on X in the early hours of Tuesday morning, local time.

🔶️ The State Department has a level 2 travel advisory in place to exercise increased caution while traveling in Oman “due to terrorism and armed conflict,” specifically warning U.S. citizens not to travel to the area near the border with Yemen, the poorest country in the region that has been wracked by civil war since August 2014.

🔶️ Such violence is rare in Oman, which is situated on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula.

🏴❌🇱🇧 — A recent, very aggressive ISIS offensive in the desert against Lebanese Hezbollah…

Over the past two days, the desert of the eastern countryside of Homs has witnessed successive attacks by ISIS against military points belonging to Lebanese Hezbollah.

The attacks resulted in material losses, many deaths, injuries, and a number of party members, including leaders, being captured.

ISIS attacked, on Monday evening, 3 military posts close to each other within the Palmyra desert in the eastern countryside of Homs, using machine guns, medium weapons, and anti-aircraft weapons in large numbers.

The three targeted points, which had an area of one kilometre, were attacked within just one hour of eachother, causing confusion within Regime ranks without the capability of military reinforcements arriving to assist and support the defending military posts.

During the first attack, the initial outpost was infiltrated and stormed, with a soldier and a leader being captured, and the the rest of the soldiers being shot.

The leader who was captured is named Jamil Weizani, a Lebanese national, and one of the field commanders of Hezbollah, responsible for the establishment of several forward operating bases inside the Palmyra Desert.

The storming and clash at the initial post resulted in the killing of 4 members and the wounding of 3 others with various injuries, in addition to the capture of the leader and a member with him.

Within less than 20 minutes, the ISIS members attacked a second military post approximately 800 meters away from the first one, with machine guns and anti-aircraft weapons, sparking violent clashes between the two sides, as the members of the post also used machine guns and anti-aircraft guns installed on the point for defensive measures.

The second attack resulted in the death of 3 defending soldiers and the wounding of 3 others with various injuries, in addition to the damage to two cars equipped with two 14.5 mm machine guns, and the almost complete destruction of the post.

As for the third point, ISIS attacked it 30 minutes after the second attack, using machine guns, and RPG shells. This attack was considered the most violent due to the third post's fortification and the presence of more than 14 soldiers defending it. The clash of the third post lasted for approximately 20 minutes, resulting in the injury of 3 ISIS terrorists and the killing of one, with 6 members of Hezbollah being killed and 8 others being injured with various injuries.

No military reinforcements from Hezbollah arrived in the area until yesterday afternoon, Tuesday, as they transported the damaged equipment and cars, disbanded the first and second pists, and worked to re-reinforce and fortify the third post, with dozens of members, heavy machinery, and armored vehicles now deployed in the area.
