Iraqi forces retrieve two ISIS militants' bodies in Saladin after airstrikes
Shafaq News/ Iraqi security forces uncovered the remains of two ISIS militants during a search operation in eastern Saladin province, days after airstrikes targeted suspected hideouts, the Joint Operations Command (JOC) revealed on Thursday. In a statement, the JOC reported that troops from the 88th Brigade, supported by military intelligence and engineering units, conducted the follow-up sweep after F-16 jets hit militant positions in the Balkana mountain range near Tuz Khurmatu earlier this week. 'Forces retrieved weapons, communication gear, and materials linked to ISIS operations, along with the bodies.' Military footage also showed the destruction of what officials described as a 'functioning ISIS guesthouse,' deep in rugged terrain used by remnants of the group. Despite ISIS's territorial defeat in 2017, the group's remnants continue to launch sporadic attacks using suicide bombings, ambushes, and guerrilla warfare, particularly in rugged terrain and remote areas where they maintain hideouts. Iraq has ramped up pressure on the group's remaining elements in 2025, reportedly neutralizing over 50 militants in the first quarter alone.

Water supply restored to Knysna
CAPE TOWN - Knysna's Municipality has confirmed that water supply has been restored to the town. It's been two weeks since failed water pumps caused the taps to run dry.

Deputy mayor for Knysna, Morton Gericke, said that while the water may appear discoloured, samples tested remain fully compliant with the South African National Standards. "The joint operations centre (JOC) is pleased to report a notable improvement in our water infrastructure. System capacity is steadily stabilising, and targeted water carting efforts have successfully replenished key reservoirs. As a result, all areas should now have access to water." Gift of the Givers spokesperson in Knysna, Mario Ferreira, said that their teams had also since wrapped up their operations.

Spine-Tingling FBI Season 7 Finale Leaves [Spoiler]'s Life in Limbo
The following recap, by the very definition of the word 'recap,' contains spoilers from the Season 7 finale. FBI front man Zeeko Zaki had told us that the Season 7 finale was a 'very different' episode of the CBS procedural, and that it'd end with a 'cliffhanger' — and he told no lies. More from TVLine The Handmaid's Tale Kills Three Major Characters in Last Episode Before Series Finale - Read Recap Chicago Fire Boss Previews Severide's Pascal Doubts, Carver and Ritter's Goodbyes... and Future Returns? The Voice Recap: Did Season 27's Finale Just Set the Stage for an Underdog to Come Out on Top? 'A New Day' opened with Jubal (Jeremy Sisto) meeting with a whistleblower named Kevin (Big Bang Theory vet/upcoming spinoff star Kevin Sussman) at a secret FBI intake facility (that I'm 90% sure was used as a consulate in The Night Agent Season 2). Alas, before Kevin could say much more than Forefront (the terrorist group Jubal dealt with at midseason) was planning an attack on the FBI office, Forefront operatives stormed the building, guns a-blazing. The cold open left us thinking that Jubal had been shot dead as well, but after the credits we saw that he'd only been wounded, and now was darting down the street to find some bandaging. After ducking into a bodega, Jubal found himself face to face with an FBI agent claiming to offer help, but she turned out to be a Forefront mole — meaning, they have cunningly infiltrated the bureau. Jubal got into a struggle with this agent, and wound up shooting her dead. Afterwards, he was grilled back at the office by ADIC Reynolds (Ben Shenkman), who had to wonder if Jubal himself had been leveraged into joining Forefront. We in turn were led to suspect that Reynolds was actually the sus one. Ill-fated whistleblower Kevin left behind a USB drive that led Jubal's team to discover that any bureau cell phones issued in the past month were at risk of being rigged with an explosive. Soon enough, booms were heard within the building. Isobel (Alana de la Garza) was meeting with/confronting Reynolds when his phone blew up in their faces. Maggie (Missy Peregrym) arrived at Reynolds' office immediately after, then hid around a corner when Reynolds' boss, Keane (hey, it's Campbell Scott!), showed up with an FBI agent to survey the damage. Eavesdropping, Maggie confirmed that Keane is leading the Forefront operation there at their office! Both Reynolds and Castille were reported dead to JOC, but — after an agonizing few minutes where we too were asked to mourn Isobel — we saw that the latter in fact had survived. A bruised, bloodied Isobel revealed herself to the team in a defunct subway station meet-up location, after Keane ordered JOC to turn in their guns and badges and disband. With Maggie confirming Keane's complicity, it was decided that the JOC gang — Taylor, Lim and Moran included! — would arm themselves best they could and lie in wait. An alive Isobel in turn revealed herself to Keane, pretended to want in on Forefront, and snitched on JOC's whereabouts to prove her disloyalty. Keane dispatched agents to take out JOC at the subway station, but they got picked off one by one by OA (Zaki), Scola (John Boyd) et al. Afterwards, Isobel showed up at the JOC office with police to arrest Keane, having 1) secretly recorded their meeting from earlier, and 2) secured testimony from his lead henchman. Some time later, Jubal rallied and cheered the troops back inside HQ, then turned the floor over to Isobel to relay her own kudos. But early into her speech, Isobel began repeating herself, then scrambling her words. She then paused, clearly addled, and collapsed to the floor. Maggie raced to Isobel's side and found no pulse, beckoning the others to call 911…. Want scoop on , or for any other TV show?
