The threat of spreading terrorism is what Israel is fighting to stop.
The terrorism that infiltrated Israel’s borders on October 7, 2023, still threatens to not only cross their borders, but the borders of other countries as well.
The threat not only looms large, but it has manifested well beyond Israel’s neighborhood.
In fact, it’s believed that the truck attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day was inspired by ISIS.
14 people were killed and 35 injured in the attack, people who had gone to Bourbon Street in New Orleans to ring in the New Year. They never expected it, nor should they have.
Iowa couple Jim and Nicole Mowrer, were there to celebrate like other people and had the misfortune to witness the attack.
The Mowrers escaped the rampaging vehicle’s path, but not before checking on a few of the victims who were “clearly deceased.”
Mowrer, an Iraq War veteran, said, “The thing that I know is to stop bleeding, you know, as quickly as possible. That was really the only thing going through my mind.”
Mowrer, who had previously ran for Congress as well as Iowa Secretary of State, said that he saw the truck and the multiple victims, then heard the gunshots. He had remained in a building, and only left the scene when emergency responders came.
It was later learned that Shamsud-Din Jabbar was behind the wheel of the murderous truck.
Another truck attack also took place in front of Trump’s International Las Vegas hotel.
In that case, a Tesla Cybertruck, packed with fireworks and driven by a highly decorated U.S Army soldier, 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, exploded – after he shot himself in the head.
The explosion caused minor injuries to seven people and no damage to the hotel.
FBI investigations began immediately after both truck attacks; the New Orleans rampage was deemed a terrorist attack, the Las Vegas bombing was labeled a tragic suicide.
The clear evidence of the New Orleans declaration?
An ISIS flag was on Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s truck/murder-weapon.
Additionally, two more guns and multiple improvised explosive devices were found in the vehicle and also the French Quarter.
He was a U.S. Army veteran too.
Not only had Shamsud-Din Jabbar visited New Orleans twice before the attack, using Meta smart glasses to plan his attack as he bicycled through the French Quarter, but he’d also traveled internationally to Egypt and Canada in 2023.
Investigators believe he was radicalized (aka joined ISIS) in Egypt. CNN reports that he may have been plotting the attack for years.
The New Year’s attack in New Orleans was the deadliest ISIS-inspired assault in the United States in years, coming just as Federal officials have warned against international terrorism.
The Nameless One isn’t surprised; he says, “We are fighting jihadism.”
Of course, Hamas has ISIS connections, and he has earlier given insight into the region by saying, “Hamas’ ultimate goal is to be part of the Muslim world/caliphate. In Islam you’re supposed to have one power – one country (as much as you can conquer, just conquer”).
The Nameless One has said further, “ISIS wants to get rid of the Sykes-Picot Agreement (May 1916).” The agreement was one in which divided the Turkish-held Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine into French and British-administered regions.
“Jihadists want the whole land and they want it by force,” he has said.
Indeed, Jabbar had posted on facebook that the point of his attack was to accentuate the, “war between the believers and the disbelievers.”
Christopher Raia, the deputy assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division, said, “This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act.” He said that Jabbar was, “100% inspired” by the Islamic State.
