ISIS has threatened terrorist attacks in Spain if Madrid continues resisting pressure over Ceuta, the Spanish territory in North Africa.
Imagine that. A muslim country let’s 70k mostly mid-20’s men flood another country and then a terrorist org says they will attack if you remove them.
The warning comes after more than 70,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta in late July, prompting Spain to declare the city a national security concern and deploy additional security forces. Spain is already under a heightened terrorism warning, while recent unrest in Ceuta has included attacks on military personnel and fresh calls for EU border assistance.
‘Our Military Is Helpless’: Migrant Ambush Targeting Military Vehicles In Ceuta Was Pre-Planned, Police Claim
…president of the Association of Spanish Troops and Sailors (ATME), stated the “very serious aggression” shows “our military is helpless”…
The attack targeting a military patrol in the Benzú area of Ceuta last night was a pre-planned ambush rather than a spontaneous clash, according to preliminary findings from the National Police. Now, military sources are speaking of soldiers who are unable to use physical force, have no weapons, and are vulnerable to such attacks in the future.
Regarding the ambush, police investigators at the scene discovered an abnormal accumulation of heavy stones that did not match the natural geology of the terrain. Police believe the projectiles were intentionally stockpiled at the location in advance, setting a trap for a vehicle or convoy passing through the area.
Images of damaged military vehicles have gone viral across social media. Multiple vehicles suffered smashed windshields and other damage in the attack.

Crime Up 1000% in Ceuta After Invasion
The ambush occurred while troops from the 54th Regular Group of Ceuta were conducting routine patrol duties. Dozens of illegal immigrants ambushed the patrol vehicle with a heavy barrage of rocks. The sudden intensity of the assault severely damaged the vehicle, shattering its windows and trapping the occupants inside.
Surrounded by a high volume of projectiles, the soldiers “feared for their lives,” according to statements later provided to investigators, as reported by Spanish newspaper El Debate. Four soldiers were left injured and officials told the press that sthe all-terrain logistical vehicles were not armored and not equipped to deal with such attacks.
Marco Antonio Gómez, president of the Association of Spanish Troops and Sailors (ATME), stated that the “very serious aggression” shows “our military is helpless.”
“They go without weapons. Our colleagues had to run away to save their own lives.”
Speaking to El Debate, military sources who are directly on the ground in Ceuta say that soldiers have their “hands and feet tied.”
Although the military is working with National Police, the situation remains dangerous.
The source said “they have done what is necessary and have intervened in situations in which the illegal immigrants bothered the inhabitants of Ceuta.”
However, these military sources complain that various legal frameworks have left soldiers without weapons, and these policies also restrict soldiers from carrying out arrests and using any type of force.
Migrants may even be aware of these restrictions, empowering them to conduct ambush strikes against soldiers with near impunity.
