We all recall that Hamas launched their surprise, and broke the longstanding ceasefire between Gaza and Israel, on the 7th of October 2023. Hamas attempted to celebrate the one-year anniversary yesterday with a barrage of missiles, which the IDF blocked and prevented.
To the north, last year Hez began their war on the 8th of October 2023, and thus today, on the 8th in 2024 they have tried to celebrate the anniversary of their war against us with over 100 missiles fired simultaneously at the civilian city of Haifa:
More than 100 rockets fired in largest assault yet on port city, 1 hurt by shrapnel, several homes hit; in first, terror leader says group could consider truce not linked to Gaza; (ToI)
Yesterday was the Hamas anniversary, today is the Hez anniversary. Israel committed the crime of being attacked by Hamas, and before Israel even responded, Hez fired missiles immediately the very next day and has continued daily for 367 days since.
Then, the antisemitic college students began to protest against the Jews back on Oct 11, 2023. That was weeks before any Israeli response.
Funny how death cults think: murder and mayhem must be followed up with more of the same.
In Israel, Iranian missiles resulted in only one fatality: An Arab in Jericho who is a non-citizen of Israel. Note: Jericho is in Area A of Judea/Samaria, Arabs do not want Jews to live there and because of kidnapping risk, Israelis are generally forbidden; thus, its Arab residents are subject to Palestinian Authority government and IDF military court. Some refer to it as “disputed territory,” or “future palestinian state,” or “not Israel proper.” Many Jericho residents carry Jordanian passports.
Besides that, two Israeli citizens suffered minor injuries in Tel Aviv:
One missile struck ground near a school in Gadera, injuring no one since no one was there, but left this crater next to the building:
Israeli security forces at the scene where a missile fired from Iran hit a school in the town of Gedera, October 1, 2024. (Liron Moldovan/Flash90)
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest YHWH see [it], and it displease Him, and he turn away his wrath from him. (Pro 24:17-18 KJV)

At the same time that Iran rained down 181 ballistic missiles on Israel on Tuesday evening, Oct 1, 2024, two Arabs from Hebron attacked innocent pedestrians on the light rail trolley train in Jaffa, Tel Aviv.
More info has been released about the lost lives of 6 of the 7 deaths at the Jaffa light rail:
Top (L-R): Inbar Segev Vigder, Ilia Nozadze, Revital Bronstein; Bottom (L-R): Shahar Goldman, Nadia Sokolenco, Jonas Chrosis; All six were killed in a shooting-and-stabbing terror attack in Jaffa on October 1, 2024. (TOI: Photos used in accordance with Clause 27a of the Copyright Law)
And now let us review the terrorist strategies in this case:
• These two terrorists wore a “yellow ribbon” pin to appear to be in solidarity with releasing the hostages from Gaza;
• Wearing plain clothes, same as IDF reservists;
• One carrying an M16 rifle which is used by IDF reservists, the other with a knife;
• They traveled to Tel Aviv Jaffa using large backpacks to hide their weapons;
• When they arrived they went into the neighborhood mosque thru the women’s entrance to stash their bags and remove their weapons;
• they instructed the worshipers to stay inside or they would be dead; (thus, the mosque attendees would be safe as long as they stayed inside the mosque);
• They left, and someone in the mosque called the police;
• Outside, a witness on the street said that they appeared like normal Israelis, wearing a pin on the shirt, and smiled at her in passing.
• After they boarded the light rail they began shooting and stabbing (impossible to run away).

As the IDF interrogated Hamas captives from Gaza, Israel learned how the United Nations agency in charge of Gaza has colluded with Hamas to build and hide server communications equipment, in attempts to keep the IDF from ever discovering it. From Feb 2024:
“…The revelation of the server farm comes amid other accusations of UNRWA collusion with the Gaza-ruling terror group and the entanglement of the UN body that provides welfare and humanitarian services for Palestinian refugees from the 1948 and 1967 wars and their descendants…”
In 2014l, ISIS captured this Yazidi woman at age 11 and sold her to a Gazan for marriage. Now, ten years later, a Jewish philanthropist worked with the US Embassy and the IDF to rescue her from Gaza and return her to her family in Iraq:
“The military said the incident provided further proof of the ‘connection between the Hamas terror group and the Islamic State and further evidence of the crimes against humanity that the murderous terror group was carrying out in Gaza.’” [Times of Israel]
Fawzia, a Yazidi girl kidnapped by ISIS from Iraq and brought to Gaza at just 11 years old, has finally been rescued by the Israeli security forces.
For years, she was held captive by a Palestinian Hamas-ISIS member.
Since October 7, troops have arrested some 5,250 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,050 affiliated with Hamas.

🚀 After 8,000 missiles that Hez has fired at Israeli civilians–although Israel did nothing to harm Hez or Lebanon–now–after nearly 12 months of illegal attacks, suddenly now when Israel has exhausted all diplomatic efforts and begins to attack the Hez and Hamas leaders – and not the civilians of Lebanon – this is when the Biden/Kamala administration wants a ceasefire.
Let them target Israeli civilians, let Israel do defense operations, no ceasefire demanded. Israel never responded in kind by targeting Lebanese civilians. But the minute Israel says enough, and targets the Hez and Hamas leadership, then the Democrat party – in power in the USA – calls for ceasefire.
The hypocrisy is astounding.
The USA prevented Israel from engaging Hezbollah in the North, and also demanded that Israel delay or cancel the ground op in Rafah, Gaza.
All that pressure on Israel – where was the pressure on Hez or Hamas?
Pray for the leaders of nations that they would follow YAH’s will.
In 2013, Iran tricked the West into believing that the regime had reformed. This led to relief from economic sanctions and a nuclear deal that allows Iran to achieve nuclear weapons within one generation. Iran did not actually reform, though. That much ought to be clear.
“Charm Offensive,” by Editors; Jerusalem Post, 26 Sept 2024, pg 9.
Israel’s Prime Minister warned the world about all this in 2013, and the West in large part, under Obama & Biden’s leadership, did not listen.
What will be the situation this time? Let’s pray for the nations to have wisdom.
Hezbollah launched missiles at Tel Aviv and Central Israel. Oh so now you want diplomacy? Hezbollah fired missiles at civilians for 11 months and the world was silent, never asking for diplomacy; never noticing that Israel has done nothing to hurt Lebanon; the world never attempted to ask Lebanon or Hezbollah what is their problem with Israel, and how does Lebanon and Syria justify firing missiles at Israelis for 11 months when Israel has not hurt Lebanon at all.
Now all of a sudden when Israel finally decides to make efforts to make Hezbollah stop, suddenly the world demands diplomatic verbal discussions after eleven months of silence while Hezbollah launched missiles at Israelis, and twenty years of building cruise missile launch pads into southern Lebanese homes.
