Day 618: Large ballistic missiles strike Israeli civilian areas

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.

Pray and Support.

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.

Operation Am Calevia: מבצע עם כלביא

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]

Day 616: 3AM Missile threats in Samaria, apparently soon after IDF strikes in Natanz, Iran

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:

Just Great: More escalations between Israel and Iran

  • 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.

“Selfie yacht” with less than half a truck of food aboard

Israel has sent in over 1,200 truckloads of aid into Gaza during the past two weeks.

This “selfie yacht” full of virtue-signaling attention-seekers carried about half a truckload of aid. Not very efficient.  Still, Israel took their aid and delivered it to Gazan civilians.

Captured on 2025-06-10 from the X/Twitter account of the Israel Foreign Ministry.

Just look at Greta Thunberg there: Reluctantly forced to smile and accept the kindness offered to her from the Israelis, given in the form of water bottles, sandwiches, and hospitable treatment, even though she and her sailors despise the Jews and sought to slander Israel.

 

Israel towed the “selfie ship” to port and showed the sailors 43-minutes of raw terrorist footage of the Gazans’ atrocities against women, children, men, and elderly, who were massacred in cold blood while sleeping in their beds on Shabbat morning, Simhat Torah on October 7, 2023.  That footage – from the Gazans’ own body cameras – is not for public consumption as it would cause trauma in the viewers. It is however offered to members of the media and leaders of nations, so that they know what really happened.

 

They refused to watch the video:

 

Text of the Israel Foreign Ministry tweet:

“Good morning to all our followers:   In case you missed it:  The ‘selfie yacht’ is safely making its way to the shores of Israel. The passengers are safe and were provided with sandwiches and water, and are expected to return to their home countries.  The tiny amount of aid that wasn’t consumed by the “celebrities” will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels.  More than 1,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza from Israel within the past two weeks, and close to 11 million meals were transferred by the GHF directly to civilians in Gaza. There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip — they do not involve provocations and selfies.”

In 2001, Malki Roth was killed in the Sbarro attack; US Parents still try to get justice

All that remains is her Nokia mobile phone, on which she had written “Speak ill of no one.”

Arab activist woman by the name of Ahlam Tamimi (yes, related to that Tamimi family) was tried in Israeli court and found guilty of planning the mass murder, selecting the day and the location, and directing the killer to the spot.  From 2001 until 2011 she was in Israeli prison, at which point she and 1000 other terrorists were released in a trade for one Israeli named Gilad Shalit, who had been taken captive by Hamas in Gaza.  She then relocated to Jordan and was received as an anti-zionist, antisemitic hero there.

The issue is – some Americans were killed as well at that shop on Ben Yehuda St in Jerusalem – such as 15 year old Malki Roth — and Ahlalm Tamimi never stood trial in the USA for the crime against Americans.  So, Malki Roth’s parents have been petitioning for years on this.  There are many signatures.  Now with the Trump Administration in office, which appointed Mike Huckabee as Ambassador, there’s new hope for justice in this case.

Will the USA successfully pressure the Kingdom of Jordan to give her up? Or will Jordan instead find a different nation to take her in?

BBC lied deliberately about Gaza in their false “documentary”

  • They portrayed this child as a random kid when he’s the son of a Hamas leader;
  • They portrayed him as an paramedic when he’s only 10;
  • They publicized it as a “one day production” when actors had many multiple wardrobe changes;
  • Why are actors involved at all? Isn’t this supposed to be a documentary rather than a work of art?
  • The BBC blamed the production company to avoid responsibility;
  • When the BBC made similar false claims via clever editing regarding the Queen of England, many people were sacked;
  • The BBC paid the boy’s family acting fees for his performance;

– Jonathan Sacerdoti made these points and more in the video below:
