Today, Syrian forces attacked the Druze in Syria. Hundreds killed and raped, including a 5-year-old child; a thousand injured. A ceasefire was reached at midnight, and then Syrian forces under command of Sharaa (the new leader in Syria) attacked the Druze people. (1)

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee had tried to attend a court session with Netanyahu’s trial today.  The court immediately became “closed door” to keep him out. Soon, the court was interrupted when Netanyahu received a visit from a top military commander, and that was regarding the Druze who had been attacked in Syria:

“Army Radio reported the interruption revolved around Israeli Druze leaders holding an emergency meeting following reports of renewed attacks by Syrian forces on the Druze city of Druze-majority city of Sweida. The report said there were fears that Druze living in Israel may start deserting the IDF and crossing into Syria en masse to try and help their brethren.” (2)

So yeah – the Houthis claimed that they aimed for the port city in Eilat, but they also claimed they aimed for Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv. Somehow, all the drones and missiles ended up near Eilat, 150 km from the national airport. Now why would that be?  Right now, thousands of Israelis, with kids on summer vacation from school, are taking to the hotels and beaches of Eilat in the southern tip of Israel for vacations.

No injuries reported.

“Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched 61 ballistic missiles and at least 15 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.” (1)

Pray for the families and loved ones of St.-Sgt. Shoham Menahem (21), Sgt. Shlomo Yakir Shrem (20), and Sgt. Yuliy Faktor (19):

 

“…The initial assessment by the IDF was that an anti-tank missile caused the explosion, Army Radio said. But, as of Monday evening, the IDF believes there is a high likelihood that it was an operational accident and that one of the tank’s shells exploded inside. It is unclear what caused the shell to explode…”

365 days ago in the USA, husband and father Tony Comperatore lost his life at a political rally when an assassin nearly killed the leading Presidential candidate. The Senate has discovered that agents knew about the threat from 10 days prior and did nothing. Was the assassination plan backed by Iran? Biden & Obama Democrat Party? CIA? Praying for Justice now, as much as possible, even though ultimate justice only arrives when Y’shua returns as The King.

I’ve timestamped this video to begin at the interview with Helen Comperatore, Corey’s widow:

The assassins tried again a few months later in September 2024, and once again failed.   First attempt was 13 July 2024.

Greetings from Israel.  Pray for us and Think about Support.

The IDF says it has identified a missile launch from Yemen, with air defense systems activated “to intercept the threat.” – Times of Israel

Yeah – but in my bed in Samaria (the West Bank) I heard HUNDREDS of interceptor explosions. I stopped counting after 50.  Hey, it was 5:19 am.

2 hours later I checked the Home Front Command alert app, and found that the entire main population center was under threat:

Since I heard so many explosions — whether they were direct hits or interceptions — I’d have to say that the IDF censors have strategically prevented the media from publicly stating any targets.

Our prayers for the healing and comfort of His people.

Update: an attack at a shopping center during the day today. The Arab attacker was neutralized.

Hebron, an ancient Biblical city (Abraham purchased land there to bury his wife) is around 75% Non-Israeli Arabs and 25% Jews; It holds more Non-Israeli Arabs than any other city in Judea and Samaria. Now the chief Arab clan leaders have expressed their desire to separate from the PA (PLO Palestinian Authority) and join with Israel in a special agreement:

Alternative opinions:  Clans changing course may only bring violence:

“That route will not bring peace, but likely violence. It will pit clans against clans and Palestinians against one another. In the fog of violence, Jews will be killed.” (2)

“Joining the Abraham Accords could be a game changer, but it has opposition from both the Israeli and Palestinian sides and may be torpedoed globally.” (3)

Disgusting behavior. They are accused of taking government funds intended to rehabilitate soldiers suffering from mental health issues after the battlefield.  They allegedly used forged documents to get the funds, and then did not offer care to soldiers.

The news went haywire over the IDF striking a “cafe” in Gaza last week, with no context given regarding who was present at the cafe. The public was left to presume that only innocent civilians were present – and the prevailing Jew-hatred would insure such an assumption.  The truth is out now that the strike was against the naval commander of Hamas for northern Gaza. It was a military assassination.

Attacks on the distribution of aid in Gaza? That was Hamas. Some of us knew that already.

What is a military target?

• A combatant

• Any civilian structure or area used for a military purpose

What is collateral damage?

• A civilian in close proximity to a combatant

• A civilian structure used for military

What is Israel’s military ratio of combatants to civilian deaths?

1:1, whereas Britain and the USA have 1:4 when operating in urban battle areas.  That’s four civilians killed for every combatant, when the USA or Britain are involved.

Pray for us and Send Support.
