Qassam Brigades Targets Zionist Engineering Baqer
Gaza - (Saba): The Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced today, Friday, that it had targeted a Zionist engineering Baqer with a Yassin 105 missile east of Khan Yunis. In a brief statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Brigades explained that "the Qassam Brigades targeted a Zionist engineering Baqer with a Yassin 105 missile in the town of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip." This comes in the context of the Palestinian factions' response to the genocidal crime committed by the Zionist enemy in the Gaza Strip, with American support, since October 7, 2023. This crime includes killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Kuwaiti man acquitted in drug use, DUI after appeal
KUWAIT CITY, June 19: The Court of Appeals overturned the two-year prison sentence imposed on a Kuwaiti citizen with a criminal record, and then acquitted him of drug use and driving under the influence due to invalid procedures. Earlier, the Public Prosecution charged the defendant with the possession of psychotropic substances for personal consumption, as he allegedly failed to prove that he obtained a permit to do so. He was found to be a repeat offender and was sentenced to three years and four months in prison with hard labor for another felony. He also drove under the influence of amphetamine -- a psychotropic substance -- despite being a repeat offender, as described in the charge sheet. Attorney Mohammad Jaber Baqer, the lawyer of the defendant, appeared before the Court of Appeals, where he argued that the search of his client was invalid because it was conducted outside the legally prescribed circumstances, and that the defendant had denied the incident from the beginning of the investigation. The court accepted the arguments of Baqer and based its ruling on the legality of the initial arrest and the limits of the subsequent search, which were intended to strip the arrested person of any weapons or tools that might aid him in escaping or harming himself or others under Article 51 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The court found that the search of a small box in the defendant's possession exceeded the limits; as such a box could not contain a weapon or a means of escape or harm. It then ruled that this search is invalid due to exceeding the legal purpose and the invalidity of the evidence derived from it. The court declared that all the narcotics seized from the defendant, which were purportedly inside the small box, are considered inconclusive. It added that such evidence cannot be used as basis for a conviction ruling as it was a direct result of an invalid procedure. It added that the case documents lacked any other legitimate evidence that could prove the first and second charges after excluding the invalid evidence.

Qassam Brigades successfully target "Israeli" engineering unit in Gaza
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, reported a successful engagement with an Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) engineering unit east of the Shuja'iyya neighborhood in Gaza. According to a statement published on Telegram, the brigades clashed with the unit using light weapons, resulting in the elimination of the driver of an IOF military vehicle, identified as a "Baqer." The incident occurred shortly after the fighters had returned from the frontlines, marking another episode in the ongoing aggression in Gaza. The Qassam Brigades have frequently carried out such operations against the IOF, continuing their resistance efforts amidst the ongoing violence. The specifics of the operation, including any potential "Israeli" casualties, have not been confirmed.

Oman gearing up for energy transition and maritime sector decarbonisation
MUSCAT: The Sultanate of Oman is positioning itself as a key player in the global energy transition, as well as the decarbonisation of the maritime sector, according to a senior official. Speaking during the first edition of the Oman Maritime, Ports and Energy Forum held here on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, Muhanna Moosa Baqer, Director General of Ports and Marine Affairs at the Ministry of Transport, Communication and Information Technology, said: 'The world is on the cusp of a profound energy revolution, and Oman is intent on realizing its potential to catalyze the changes required.' According to Baqer, the maritime logistics sector plays a dual role in both facilitating and driving the energy transition. 'Shipping and ports are both the drivers and facilitators of the energy transition across the globe. Shipping will increasingly transport cargo such as LNG, hydrogen, ammonia, and CO2 to all corners of the world, and the industry is a lynchpin in the development of this new and exciting global supply chain infrastructure,' he said. In addition to transporting new energy resources, the sector will also become a consumer of alternative low and zero carbon marine fuels, said Baqer. 'As well as transporting new energy sources, shipping will be consumers of this energy, using alternative low and zero-carbon marine fuels to propel the global merchant fleet. Additionally, he shared that ports will become vital energy hubs and 'gateways for the import, export, and storage of low-carbon and renewable energy', while also supporting a developing bunkering sector for alternative marine fuels. This evolving role of the maritime sector comes amid increasing global pressure to decarbonise the sector. 'Shipping and ports have a huge responsibility for the successful delivery of decarbonization on a national and global basis. To facilitate this, we are seeing the introduction of a raft of national, regional, and global environmental regulations, which together set out ambitious targets for the decarbonization of shipping and ports, which will also accelerate the pace of the energy transition.' A major example, according to Baqer, is the International Maritime Organization's proposed Net Zero Framework, which aims to set mandatory emissions limits and introduce carbon pricing across the shipping sector. 'If adopted, they would enter into force in 2027, and the IMO's Net Zero Framework will be the first in the world to combine mandatory emissions limits and GHG pricing across an entire industry sector. So, the world is on the cusp of a profound energy revolution, and Oman is intent on realizing its potential to catalyze the changes required.' Consequently, Oman's port and maritime sectors are actively evolving to meet future demands, he said. 'The country's maritime and port sectors are focused on developing cutting-edge logistics excellence in tandem with meeting the requirements of environmental sustainability and stewardship.' Additionally, he shed light on the intersecting role Oman plays in both maritime trade and the energy transition. 'Oman also has a leading and proactive role to play as a key producer of renewable energy. A very recent example of this is the agreement to establish the world's first liquid hydrogen import corridor, which will connect the Port of Duqm, the Port of Amsterdam, and key logistics hubs in Germany.' Concluding his remarks, Baqer noted that the Oman's maritime sector is ready for the change. 'Oman's maritime, boats, and bunkering sectors are building on their heritage and preparing to catalyze the change.'
