Passenger arrested at Tacloban Airport for carrying submachine gun replica amid election gun ban
A Manila-bound traveler was arrested at Tacloban City Airport after authorities discovered a replica of a submachine gun in his luggage, the Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group (PNP-AVSEG) reported. The passenger was stopped from boarding and taken into custody during routine screening, which revealed a replica of a Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun with a magazine in his bag. Authorities said the incident violated Republic Act No. 10591 or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act, in connection with Commission on Elections (Comelec) Resolution No. 11067. The nationwide gun ban, which started on January 12 and will run through June 11, 2025, prohibits the transport of firearms and deadly weapons—including toy guns and replicas—during the election period. The Department of Transportation's Office for Transportation Security also includes replicas and toy firearms in its list of banned items. Passengers may face arrest or offloading even outside the gun ban period if found carrying such items. 'This is part of our commitment to keep every passenger and flight safe. We remind the public to always inspect their baggage for prohibited items before traveling,' said PNP-AVSEG Director Police Brigadier General Christopher Abecia.

How did enemy media read scenes of Palestinian resistance handing over three occupation prisoners?
Gaza - Saba: The Palestinian resistance on Saturday succeeded professionally in sending strong messages to the occupation through the banners it hung on a platform to release the three occupation prisoners in Khan Yunis. The enemy media circulated pictures of the platform and interrogated its messages, which came at a level that confirms the extent of the resistance project's roots, its expansion and its ability to absorb its goals. Correspondent of the occupation army radio Doron Kadosh said on Saturday that the Hamas movement hung banners on a platform to release the three prisoners, during which messages were sent that read: "There is no migration except to al-Quds," which is Hamas's response to Trump's plan - "O al-Quds, we are your soldiers," and Hamas's goal is to write a message calling for al-Quds- at the bottom of the platform. He added that Hamas placed a banner reminding them of the events of October 7 that says: "We passed like a ray of sunshine," with pictures of the kibbutzim in the envelope, which were damaged in the attack when Hamas elements stormed them. The Hebrew newspaper "Maariv" reported that the propaganda provided by al-Qassam and al-Quds Brigades in the sixth batch of the exchange is considered a finger in the eye of "Israel". The Hebrew newspaper quoted a weapons expert as saying that "Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants appeared for the first time wearing Israeli army uniforms, noting that in some cases the militants appeared with Tavor (MP5) rifles in their possession, which are used by Israeli elite units." It added, "While US President Donald Trump continues to pressure Egypt and Jordan to accept refugees from the Gaza Strip, and hints at the possibility of using US aid as a means of pressure, Hamas was keen to announce its response to the platform for the release of prisoners in the Gaza Strip: "No immigration except to Jerusalem." The Hebrew website "Walla" indicated that Hamas raises a picture of the prisoner Matan and his mother, Einav Tsang-Oker, on the release platform in Khan Yunis, with the phrase "Time is running out," next to an hourglass. The enemy's media circulated scenes of the Palestinian resistance handing over the three occupation prisoners in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, on Saturday morning. The scenes showed the moment the three prisoners arrived, accompanied by al-Qassam fighters and al-Quds Brigades, and their ascent to the platform to deliver speeches in Hebrew. The pictures showed the spread of elements of al-Qassam Brigades and al-Quds Brigades in Khan Yunis, with security and organizational equipment in the area near the ruins of the house of the martyr Yahya Sinwar. According to "Palestine Online", The resistance displayed a display platform decorated with pictures of its martyred leaders, headed by Mohammed al-Deif and Rafeh Salama, and phrases in Arabic, English and Hebrew, with several phrases through which messages were sent to the "Israeli" occupation, most notably: "We are the soldiers, O al-Quds, bear witness", in addition to pictures of the Gaza envelope settlements that the resistance fighters entered on October 7 and were able to control and capture hundreds of Zionist soldiers, and the phrase "We crossed like a thread of the sun" was in the middle of the pictures. The phrase "No immigration except to al-Quds" also appeared, through which the resistance fighters sent a clear response to US President Donald Trump's statements and proposals to displace Palestinians from Gaza.
