ODU ROTC Cadets Stop Campus Shooter, 1 Dead and 2 Wounded

ROTC students at Old Dominion University subdued a former Army National Guard member who opened fire in a business-school classroom, leaving one person dead and two wounded; the shooter, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, died after being subdued. Jalloh had previously pleaded guilty to aiding the Islamic State and was on supervised release. The FBI is investigating the attack as terrorism, the campus canceled classes, and the slain ROTC member was Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, the son-in-law of a Voorhees trustee.

Australia declines to repatriate IS-linked families from Syria

Australia says it will not repatriate 34 women and children with alleged Islamic State connections from Syria after their flight was blocked by Syrian authorities; the government will not provide support for return and warns those who manage to return could face prosecution, noting only a handful of Australians have been repatriated from Syrian camps since IS’s defeat and framing the issue within national-security and moral-obligation debates.

US escalates airstrikes on ISIS targets in Syria after deadly ambush

CENTCOM said U.S. aircraft conducted 10 strikes against more than 30 ISIS targets in Syria from Feb. 3 through Thursday, hitting weapons storage facilities and other infrastructure; at least 50 ISIS members have been killed or captured and more than 100 targets have been struck since the campaign began after the Dec. 13 ambush that killed two U.S. soldiers and a civilian interpreter. Separately, Syria’s government said it captured a base east of the country that had been run by U.S. troops at Al-Tanf, while the U.S. completed transferring thousands of ISIS detainees from Syria to Iraq at Baghdad’s request.

SDF Pulls Back From al-Hol Camp as Syria Clashes Continue

The Kurdish-led SDF withdrew from al-Hol camp housing thousands linked to Islamic State amid ongoing clashes with government forces, citing international indifference to IS. The move follows a ceasefire deal that would transfer control of prisons and camps in northeast Syria to the government, with the SDF redeploying to Kurdish areas and potentially integrating into state security forces; the episode follows a prison breakout in Shaddadi and underscores tensions over custody and governance in the region.
