Hello John and Doves,
Everything is
moving quickly - hard to keep up. It's been a busy
week....two top terrorists were assassinated (one in
Tehran and one in Beirut), many air line flights have been
cancelled to Israel and other Middle East countries,
countries have asked their citizens to leave Iran, Lebanon
and Israel as soon as possible, Israel's Knesset members were given
satellite phones, Israeli's told to prepare bomb shelters;
it's being reported that Iran has given Hezbollah
electromegnetic bombs - to disable communications and
radar and the electric grid in Israel.
And for those of us watching Tisha
B'Av - ""Western
intelligence sources told Sky News Arabia that they had
evidence Iran intends to attack Israel on Tisha B'Va,
which begins on August 12 and ends on August 13."
Interesting timing that many are
looking at Tisha B'Av as Acts Pentecost and Feast of New
Wine - high watch Rapture date.
It's certainly on my calendar.
Here are some interesting
developments with dates:
July 27: The
Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida reported that Iran has supplied
Hezbollah with electromagnetic bombs that can paralyze
communications and disable radars..." Pro-Iran groups
will attack the Golan if war breaks out. "Al-Jarida
claimed that the source says that Hezbollah already
"possesses bombs and missiles carrying explosive
'electromagnetic' warheads as that Revolutionary Guards
successfully delivers these qualitative weapons to it a few
days ago."
"Supposedly these weapons can be
"launched from fixed launchers and some of them can be
carried by drones to reach any point deep inside Israel."
"The report then goes on to
elaborate about how Iran wants to provide Hezbollah with the
know-how to target Israel's energy sector as well as water
resources." And that if Israel attacks Lebanon,
Israeli settlers in northern Israel will face "a disruption
in basic services including water, electricity and
communications..."
July 30: 'Israel said late Tuesday
that it had killed Shukr (a Hezbollah top commander), who
it said was behind the weekend rocket attack on the
Israeli occupied Golan Heights that killed 12
youths. The United States also blames Shukr for
staging and planning a bombing of a Marine Corps barrack
in Lebanon in 1983 that killed 241 American service
members."
Hezbollah
Confirms Top Leader Fouad Shukur Killed in Israeli
Strike in Beirut
July 31:
"Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated early on
Wednesday morning in Iran (Tehran) ...Haniyeh's residence
was hit by an airborne projectile."
July 31:
"Iranian military advisor Milad Bedi was killed yesterday in
the Beirut strike that killed Hezbollah's top military
commander Faud Shukr, according to the Islamic regime's
official Fars New Agency."
Iran and Hezbollah have vowed
retaliation. Along with Hamas, the Houthis, Qatar,
Turkey,
August 1:
"Thousands of people have gathered at Ben Gurion Airport in
Tel Aviv trying to leave Israel, following the latest
developments in the Middle East triggered by the murders of
Haniya, Shoukr and Daif. Information speaks of about
70,000 passengers...Due to the tense situation, the list of
airlines canceling passenger and commercial flights to and
from Tel Aviv for fear of reprisals is growing....According
to Israel's Channel 12, seven airlines have already
suspended flights to Ben Gurion Airport until further
notice. These are Delta, United Airlines, Lufthansa,
Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Fly Dubai and Air
India."

August 2:
In Israel - "Government ministers have been issued satellite
phones in preparation for possible retaliation for the
assassination of top Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr
and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, whose death has been widely
blamed on Israel. According to the report, the
satellite phones were distributed due to concerns that a
retaliatory attack by either Iran or Hezbollah could destroy
telephone lines and knock out cell service."

August 2:
"Airlines are avoiding Iranian and Lebanese airspace and
cancelling flights to Israel and Lebanon, as concerns grow
over a possible conflict in the region after the killing of
senior members of militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah this
week. Singapore Airlines stopped flying through
Iranian airspace from early Friday morning and is using
alternative routes...Taiwan's EVA Air and China Airlines
also appeared to be avoiding Iran airspace for flights to
Amesterdam on Friday which had previously flown over
Iran...Many airlines, including U.S. and European airlines,
already avoid flying over Iran."
"Over the past two days, Air India,
Germany's Lufthansa Group, U.S. carriers United Airlines and
Delta Air and Italy's ITA Airways said they have suspended
flights to Tel Aviv. Airlines this week have also been
cancelling and delaying flights to the Lebanese capital
Beirut....Canada on Thursday issued a notice to Canadian
aircraft to avoid Lebanese airspace for one month due to the
risk to aviation from military activity."
"Should an all-out war break out in
the Middle East, Ops Group said civil aviation will likely
face the risk of drones and missiles crossing the airways,
as well as the increased risk of GPS spoofing - a growing
phenomena around Lebanon and Israel where militaries and
other actors broadcast signals that trick a plane's GPS
system into thinking it is somewhere it is not."

August 2:
"The leader of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, Hassan
Nasrallah, said today that the war with Israel has entered a
new phase, warning that the group will surely respond to the
killing of a top Hezbollah commander by an Israeli strike."
August 2:
"France also called on its citizens to leave Iran
"immediately" amid fears the Islamic Republic was preparing
to attack Israel...Israeli ministers have been given
satellite phones in preparation for an attack that could
strike the country's communication system...Residents in
Jerusalem were told to prepare bomb shelters."
"The United States was on Friday
preparing to sent back-up warplanes to help defend Israel
from a possible missile or drone attacks and deal with any
major escalations."
August 2: "France, Poland
urge citizens to leave Iran, Israel and Lebanon as soon as
possible....The unstable security situation makes it
possible to believe that it will be more and more difficult
to leave the three countries..."
"Earlier on August 2, Polish
airlines LOT announced the cancellation of eight flights to
Lebanon and Israel due to the security situation. The
announcement from Poland follows several cancellations in
other European countries, including Czechia, where several
flights back to Israel were cancelled."
The War Starts on Tisha
B'Av?"
This is in numerous news sites -
including the Jerusalem Post:
August 3: "Iran reportedly
plans to attack Israel on the day of Tisha B'Av, when Jews
mourn the loss of the first and second Temples...The report
indicates that there is an emotional and psychological
impact in targeting Israel on the holy day of
mourning. The report claimed that Jewish Israelis may
feel particularly vulnerable on this day - adding an
additional layer of psychological torment. Enemy
states and entities have focused their attack son Jewish
holiday in the past, as was the case on October 7, which
fell on Simchat Torah and Shabbat, and the Yom Kippur War in
1973."
"There is also reportedly a
symbolic reason for attacking this date, reviving historical
traumas and replaying the images of destruction.
Finally, Iran allegedly hopes that attacking on this day
would bring an element of surprise...they may be unprepared
for a military attack."
"Sky New Arabia also claimed that
the media coverage on the attack would transmit a message to
the Islamic world - that "Israel is vulnerable to
destruction as the Jews have historically been...The report
also claimed that attacking on this day may restore morale
of terror groups attacking Israel, reinvigorating them for
future attacks and showing that Iran will continue to back
terror leaders in the regions."

plans attack on Israel over Haniyeh death on Jewish day of
tragedy - The Jerusalem Post
The U.S. Senate adjourns for a
break on August 3 and will return to D.C. on September 9 - unless
they call an emergency session due to deterioration of the
'situation' in the Middle East.
Numerous letters to Doves have been
written about the day Tisha B'Av - and the possibility of
the Rapture occurring on this particular day. To many,
this day is also Acts Pentecost and The Feast of New
Wine. Both Temples were destroyed on this day - will
this day have yet another reason for great mourning across
the Jewish nation? A devastating attack from Iran and
other enemies?
A Rapture on this day will
certainly fulfill Micah's prophecy of great distress for the
Jewish people at the time of the grape harvest (Feast of New
Wine) - all the good men of the Earth have
'vanished'. The day of the watchmen has come.
There is no good men left - just evil all around.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
