Hello John and Doves,
What are the odds?? Israeli High-Level Security Cabinet Meets As The 9th of Av Fast BeginsSeems a perfect storm is forming...hopefully these 'birth pains' take us right to Jesus coming back for His Believers!!As bad luck would have it....for the 9th of Av....August 5, 2022, on the day before the 9th of Av, Major General Hossein Salami of the Islamic Revolution Guards "warned the Israeli regime that more than 100,000 missiles are prepared in Lebanon to create an inferno for the Zionists."
Over 100,000 Missiles in Lebanon Ready to Rain on Zionists: IRGC Chief - Politics news - Tasnim News AgencyWhile the IDF continues to take out top Palestinian jihadis, Hezbollah is threatening to strike Israel with 100,000 rockets.The situation could get ugly quick - the Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz called the US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, with an update "on the objectives and progress of the ongoing military offensive in Gaza, dubbed 'Operation Breaking Dawn". The IDF claims taking out senior terrorists in the strikes, while Palestinians claim civilians killed and injured.(I have absolutely no trust in the Biden Administration concerning Israeli affairs - he's been following in Obama's footsteps. And Biden and Austin are just puppets of the enemies of Israel.)'Operation Breaking Dawn" used Israeli jets to strike an apartment building in Gaza early Friday - taking out the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) commander Taysir al-Jabari along with a few other 'targets'. Previously, on Monday, the IDF arrested PIJ's West Bank leader Bassem Saadi in Jenin - a Palestinians teenager was killed in the raid. This triggered outrage in the Palestinian territories and revenge attacks on Israel.

There will be no truce following this attack...All resistance groups must struggle under one flag in this fight...the Israeli enemy "committed a new crime" and must "pay a price."

The system is programmed to ignore rockets that are not deemed a threat.""Earlier Saturday, the IDF said it was prepared for a potential week of fighting against the PIJ, and later announced that it had struck numerous observation posts and weapon storage sites belonging to the terror group across the Gaza Strip."Egypt has been trying to mediate a cease-fire, but the Islamic Jihad has rejected this."The IDF has begun to call us reservists to bolster its Southern Command, Home Front Command, air defense array and combat troops in the event of further escalation. Gantz approved calling up as many as 25,000 reservist troops, his office said."
