This my friends is why there can never be true peace in the Middle East. When one enemy is defeated (at least as far as the woke world will let), immediately another hater of Israel raises its demonic head! It’s Israel against the world. Praying that America never turns her back on Israel. God help us if we do. Rh

JERUSALEM, Israel – Israel has launched its largest attack on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon since the 2024 ceasefire began. Thursday’s escalation signals Israel’s determination to prevent the Iranian-backed terror group from rebuilding its arsenal of weapons.

The Israel Defense Forces announced they completed a series of strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure and weapons facilities. The military claims Iran’s proxy continues to reestablish its terrorist stronghold and poses a clear and present danger to the State of Israel.

Before the attack, the IDF issued an evacuation warning to the Lebanese, a measure to prevent civilian casualties since the weapons facilities are in the midst of populated areas.

Israel’s Knesset received a briefing reportedly warning that Hezbollah, with help from Iran, is rebuilding its military strength faster than Israeli strikes can stop it. The setback Israel dealt Hezbollah in the 2023-24 campaign is fading, the military believes, and Hezbollah is smuggling weapons through Syria and by sea, and it is also producing its own arms.

The IDF says its attacks on Thursday are “just a preview” of what is to come if the Lebanese army doesn’t fully disarm Hezbollah.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the bombings, but said that negotiations are the only way to end the near-daily Israeli attacks on his country.

The U.S.is pressuring the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah, as well. However, in an open letter, Hezbollah pledged to resist any attempts to take its weapons, and it criticized Aoun for considering any negotiations with Israel.

One member of a Lebanese Christian party stated, “Hezbollah insists on dragging us into another destructive war. It is unacceptable for a minority held hostage to dictate the fate of the free majority.”

Meanwhile, the IDF released documents showing evidence of an incestuous relationship between Hamas and UNRWA, the United Nations agency for the Palestinians. It uncovered details of Hamas operatives employed by UNRWA and documents revealing Hamas’s use of UNRWA facilities.

Israel’s military uncovered lists of UNRWA employees side by side with Hamas operatives, where the same individuals held both civilian and military IDs.

It’s just the latest evidence showing how the U.N. agency and Hamas worked together in the Gaza Strip. UNRWA is funded by many European nations, Australia, and Canada, among others. 

JNS poll: Israeli public believes now is the time to attack Iran’s nuclear installations

Israelis also say the Biden administration seeks to undermine Israel’s war effort, support Trump over Harris by more than 50 points.

Israelis are almost unanimous in their support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision not to coordinate the airstrike that targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah with the Biden administration in advance of its commission, a new JNS poll conducted by Direct Polls show.

JNS asked, “According to reports, Israel did not coordinate with the United States in advance of it carrying out its operation to assassinate Hassan Nasrallah. Do you think it was the right decision or the wrong decision?

Eighty-three percent of respondents responded that it was the right decision. Nine percent felt it was the wrong decision. Eight percent did not know.

For the past several decades, Hezbollah ground forces and missile arsenal in Lebanon have deterred Israel from attacking Iran. Fearing that Iran would order Hezbollah to attack Israel with daily barrages of thousands of missiles and order its ground forces to invade the Galilee, Israel delayed acting directly against Iran’s nuclear and missile installations.

Finally, JNS asked which candidate for U.S. president Israelis believe will be more sympathetic to Israel’s interests. Sixty-five percent of respondents said Republican candidate Donald Trump would be more sympathetic to Israel’s interests. Just 13% of Israelis believe that Democratic candidate Kamala Harris would be more supportive of Israel. Fifteen percent of respondents said that both would be equally sympathetic to Israeli interests and 7% said neither would be sympathetic to Israel’s interests.

The results of the JNS poll align with results of one commissioned by Channel 14and conducted last week by Direct Polls. That survey, carried out the day before Israel’s elimination of Nasrallah, asked the public whether they believed that the U.S. has weakened or strengthened Israel in its struggle to remove military threats to its national security from the south and the north of the country.

Fifty-seven percent of respondents said the U.S. has weakened Israel. Thirty-five percent responded that the U.S. has strengthened Israel. Eight percent didn’t know.

The thrust of both polls indicate that Israelis believe that the Biden administration does not share or support Israel’s war goals and are concerned that the administration will use the lame-duck period
between the Nov. 5 presidential election and the inauguration of the next president on Jan. 20, 2025, to undermine Israel’s capacity to win the war.

Direct Polls questioned a sample of 520 adults (aged 18 and older) representing Israel’s general population.

JNS asked the public whether Israel should now seize the momentum it has gained through its recent strikes on Hezbollah to attack Iran before the U.S. elections. Sixty-two percent of the public answered affirmatively. Twenty-six percent said that Israel should abstain from using its momentum to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities ahead of the U.S. elections. Twelve percent said they did not know.

This time it is different, there seems to be a resolve that was never in Israel before to do what they feel they must do to protect themselves. Next step could be the nuclear facilities in Iran. It will have to be done sooner or later. Later may be too late. God be with Israel. Protect and guide them according to your will. Amen Rh

Israeli General to CBN News: Israel Has No Choice but to ‘Attack with All Our Capabilities’

JERUSALEM, Israel – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Sunday that Israel stands ready to defend itself against any enemy attack. There is also the possibility that the Israel Defense Forces will go on the offensive.

Netanyahu sees the situation as a seven-front war where Iran and its proxies are trying to strangle the Jewish state.

“Their visible aggression is insatiable, but Israel is not helpless,” Netanyahu said. “We are determined to stand against them on every front, in every arena, far and near. Anyone who murders our citizens, anyone who harms our country, will be held accountable. He will pay a very heavy price.”

Some anticipate Iran will launch a bigger attack than April 13th, when some 350 missiles and drones rained down across Israel, resulting in only minor damage.

The Alma Research Center in northern Israel estimates a combination of “ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs from many sites in western Iran” could be launched.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has dispatched a fighter squadron to the Middle East, and the head of the Central Command, General Michael Kurilla, is already here in the region.

Retired IDF General Amir Avivi tells CBN News Kurilla is expected to play a valuable role in helping coordinate a similar coalition effort that protected Israel in April.   

“It enables to really assist Israel to deal with all the different threats – whether it’s ballistic missiles, a UAV, and any other capability Iran might shoot at Israel or Hezbollah – and it increases dramatically the chances of really being able to secure Israel in the best way possible,” Avivi explained.

He added, “There is no 100 percent, but it definitely improves a lot – the chances of really dealing very well with most of the capabilities Iran and Hezbollah have.”

We asked the general about Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah’s threat that he may hit Tel Aviv or other civilian centers in Israel, and how Israel would respond if it happened.

Avivi replied, “If Hezbollah will shoot Israeli centers? This is a full-scale war. We have no other choice but to attack with all our capabilities. And I can tell you that Israel can inflict huge, huge damage on Hezbollah and also Lebanon. Overall, if (they would fire on) Israeli cities and infrastructure. Israel would destroy all the infrastructure of Lebanon, and they need to take that into account.”

No One Wants the Palestinians

Palestine was Jordan and Israel

Jordan controlled the West Bank until 1967 and no asked them for a Palestinian state.

Egypt controlled Gaza until 1967 and no one asked them for a Palestinian state.

When Egypt signed the peace treat with Israel , they said they wanted Sinai back but keep the Gaza.

Even now Egypt has closed its borders to the plight of the Palestinians.

In fact no Arab or Islamic country in the Middle East has any desire to take in or give up land for the Palestinians. Wonder why?

This whole desire to take land from Israel for the Palestinians, it nothing more than a power grab to take land away from Israel to weaken and eventually dissolve the ancient land of Israel. God gave the land to them as an eternal covenant. In fact God said as long as the sun rises and the moon shines I will not forget my covenant with Israel. Do until the world stands, enemies of Israel deal with it! Israel will never leave or lose their land. Take it to the bank.

The Hebrew word Hamas, means violence. According to the Hebrew lexicon, the Arabic cognate of the Hebrew word hamas means warlike valor (noun form) or to be active, brave, constant (verb form).

Peace will never be established between Israel and its Muslim neighbors until the Prince of Peace arrives at the end of the tribulation period. Try as diplomats will, it will never happen. Biblical prophecy attests to this fact.

Israel War Update

Rebecca Koffler, a former US Department of Defense intelligence officer and Russia expert, said she has solid evidence of Moscow officials being involved in Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel. She said she is still working through all the details, but will release an official report on Fox News on Monday that will reveal all the details.

Also, Rebecca Koffler said that the Kremlin is satisfied with the results of the attacks. Just a few days ago, a senior Hamas official, Ali Baraka, told a Russian state TV channel that the attack had been secretly planned for two years. Only Hamas partners and high-ranking terrorists knew about it. It is the precise planning that succeeded in blinding Israel’s military and intelligence forces.

Shortly after the attack, officials in Moscow called their counterparts in the Hamas terror group and thanked them for an excellent operation that distracted the world from Ukraine.

This cooperation is a strong indication of the change in Putin’s operating patterns and support for Hamas.

This change in Putin’s behavior is dictated by the defeats in the war in Ukraine. This completely changes the course of the Kremlin and provides new data for intelligence work. Reported by Amir Tsarfati – Behold Israel
