Escaping the war in Ukraine with 9 children
The city the Lubov family was in wasn’t safe anymore because the front was slowly approaching them and was less than two hundred kilometers away.
Gaza
The Gaza conflict began July 8 when Hamas launched rockets into dozens of Israeli cities. Since then, there have been 12 cease-fire agreements, 11 of them broken by Hamas and Islamic Jihad; terrorist organizations dedicated to the destruction of Israel. The twelfth cease-fire started on August 26, some 50 days later.
A Line Is Drawn. Where Do You Stand?
There’s something very spiritual going on in our world. In recent times nations, denominations and even individuals are being challenged to make a decision regarding Israel’s place as God’s chosen people. Shockingly, some prominent long-time supporters of Israel in the Evangelical ranks have now reversed their pro-Israel position?
Tunnels – The Greatest Threat Of All
The major thrust of the IDF, at this point, is the destruction of the terrorist tunnel system Hamas is using to infiltrate into Israel territory from Gaza. According to a recent Satellite image from the US, there are 60 of these tunnels. Israel has taken 36 so far, destroying 16 with more scheduled. IDF soldiers are going building to building in Gaza searching for entrances and have found many in private homes, mosques, schools and so on.
Hamas is to Blame!
I’ve been in the US now for 6 days, I’ve watched the constant media presentations blaming Israel for just about everything happening in Gaza, including the death and destruction taking place there. There are pictures flooding the world of dead children and screaming parents followed by a finger pointing at Israel as the offender, the uncaring demonized infiltrator. Anyone watching is incensed by what they see and rightfully angered at the suffering of the innocent. But it must be reiterated again and again HAMAS IS TO BLAME not Israel!
Gaza conflict not the cause of Europe’s anti-semitism, it just reveals it
In the past few days there have been numerous riots and protests across Europe. The hatred for Israel and Jews in general, spewing out in Berlin, Paris and other communities across Europe is alarming.
More IDF soldiers were killed
As we reported yesterday, 13 soldiers from the Golani brigade where killed. It was the highest one-day death toll since the 2006 second Lebanon War against Hezbollah.
Israel continues it’s defense as the world rages
“As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, “Where is your God?” When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me” Psalm 42
Israel is not fighting the people of Gaza
Contrary to never-ending media reports, Israel’s actions are not that of an aggressor, especially towards the civilian population of Gaza. To the contrary it’s about defense.
Israeli troops are infiltrating Gaza
The time has come. Israel has waited as long as possible, knowing that world opinion will be against them no matter what they do. There is no choice.
Operation “Enduring Rock” continues
Today we are planning more trips down to Gaza with aid for other units.
Aid for IDF soldiers in Gaza
I returned to Jerusalem late evening from the Gaza border. We took a lot of items from the Jerusalem Support Center to Israeli soldiers at the border and purchased many boxes of goodies in Ashkelon and Sderot to boost the morale of these young warriors who had been in the field many days in sweltering heat reaching into the mid 90s.
Israel helping Gaza
Israel Defense Force provided the passage about 260 trucks have delivering more than 4,400 tons of food, 900 tons of liquefied natural gas, about 3.2 million liters of diesel fuel, about 500,000 gallons of gasoline, into Gaza.
Iron Dome
You are hearing that name often in these reports and other sources. Some probably wonder what it is. The Iron Dome came into existence in March 2011 after extensive development since 2006. Because of the overwhelming numbers of rockets being fired into Israel (over 12,000 since 2006) by Islamic terrorist organizations.
Rockets in Tel Aviv area
Forty rockets from Gaza were fired at Israel by early afternoon Wednesday, with Iron Dome intercepting eight. Sirens were heard throughout southern Israel and in the center of the country, including in Tel Aviv, Rishon Lezion, Modiin and Raanana.
