Hi John and Doves,
The huge explosion in Beirut, Lebanon happened on August 4th, 2020. Making today - Sunday August 4th, 2024 - the 4th anniversary of this atrocity. The very next day (August 5th, 2020) was the Jewish feast day of Tu B'Av. The Jewish equivalent of our Valentine's day. Remember all those videos of beautiful brides, posing for wedding photos? The shock of the explosion and the images of those brides running away?
A lot of Christians are watching the date of Tisha B'Av (9th of Av) which falls on August 12th/13th. A date which Hezbollah have threatened to attack Israel. I suggest that Tu B'Av is a high watch date too. This falls on August 19th, 2024. 7 days after Tisha B'Av.
Links 3 and 4, below hold short video clips of 2 of the brides as they pose for wedding photos. Still quite shocking to watch.
