Netanyahu gave a half hour interview on USA news on 15 Jun 2025:

3 years after The Shah was overthrown- Netanyahu predicted then (40 years ago) that Iran would seek to develop nukes and use them against Israel:

In the barrage around 4 AM in the morning of June 16, the interceptor explosions in the sky above my bomb shelter sounded much closer than the Tel Aviv ones had in previous days. Turns out that’s because the target was Petach Tikvah – a large city in Central Israel. A residential building was struck.

It’s the kind of hit where being in a bomb shelter may not have helped at all.

Excerpt from the Jerusalem Post report:

Zaki Heller, MDA spokesman, told Udi Segal and Anat Davidov on 103FM radio that it is possible that being in a safe room would not have prevented the victim’s deaths, although would being in a protected space significantly improves the chance of survival.

“When a missile hits a structure directly, it is possible that even the protected room here will not withstand such a missile,” he shared. “We are going apartment by apartment and making sure that there are no casualties, the main event – two buildings with 20 floors, the scans in each of the apartments. We treated 43 casualties.”

After the second consecutive night of missile barrages from Iran:

10 confirmed dead including baby;

Hundreds injured;

7 missing;

There are zero Israeli military fatalities in Bat Yam, Rishon LeZion, Rehovot, or the Arab city Tamra.

These are 100% civilian cities.

Bat Yam Mayor Tzvika Brot said in a statement that “61 buildings were damaged in one way or another — six of them will need to be completely demolished.”

In Rehovot, at least 42 people were wounded, including two seriously and 13 moderately, MDA reported. One man was alive for hours under the rubble at the site of the strike, until rescuers managed to extract him.

Translation: Operation “A People Rises Like a Lioness.”

Do not trust the online translations saying “Operation With a Dog” – those translators do not know the difference between modern and Biblical Hebrew.

Numbers 23:22-24:

God brings them out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox. 23 “For [there is] no sorcery against Jacob, Nor any divination against Israel. It now must be said of Jacob And of Israel, ‘Oh, what God has done!’ 24 Look, a people rises like a lioness, And lifts itself up like a lion; It shall not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of the slain.” [Num 23:22-24 NKJV]

Pray for Us and Send Support to Assist Our Work.

At 3 am, I thought it was Houthi missiles, but it was a wave of Iranian drones.

Apparently the battle is on, and so here in Samaria we can expect a lot more from Yemen, Iran, and who knows who else very soon.  About 40 minutes after my two cats and I emerged from our bomb shelter, these alerts came through, signaling a general state of lockdown and alert for now – which could be days or weeks, depending.

Requesting Your Prayer and Practical Support.

US Envoy Steve Witkoff has warned Congress that Israel’s defenses could be overwhelmed by Iran unless a multinational defense coalition is formed.

Israeli President Herzog has said that Israel’s Iran strikes intend to ‘neutralize an immediate, existential threat to our people’

Missiles, drones, whatever, this is gearing up to be a dangerous battle between Iran and Israel – with many potential casualties. The USA does not want to get involved offensively – so – will assist with Israel’s defense. Domestically the Israeli police are gearing up to defend against the enemy within.

Requesting Your Prayer and Practical Support.

The whole nation is on lockdown, and Level 4 (the highest) alert.

Here’s what Israel’s attack on nuclear facilities looked like:

• No hint of USA involvement.
• Israel government probably does not want to take chances that Iran will fake out the USA with insincere diplomacy.
• Iran plans the counterattack against Israel.
• Israel may have to consider how much time Iran has left to rebuild their air defenses which Israel destroyed previously after the big Iranian missile attack.
