Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting.The second angel said: "Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran."I saw those countries in a few split seconds."All of Turkey and those [inaudible] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill one another."I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction – men destroying one another. I heard these words:"Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God."I saw fires rising to heaven.The angel said: "This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries."The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.

sraeli FM claims without evidence Iran is behind vandalism-Coordinated sabotage paralyzes French railways hours before Olympic opening ceremony-Some 250,000 locals and travelers affected by apparent arson attack; no immediate sign of direct link to Olympics, police say; tens of thousands of officers deployed for ceremony-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 2:31 pm-JUL 26,24
France’s high-speed rail network was hit Friday with widespread and “criminal” acts of vandalism including arson attacks, paralyzing travel to Paris from across the rest of France and Europe only hours before the grand opening ceremony of the Olympics.As Paris authorities geared up for a parade of Olympians on and along the Seine River amid tightened security, three fires were reported near the tracks on the high-speed lines of Atlantique, Nord and Est.French officials described the fires as caused by “criminal actions” and said they were investigating whether they were linked to the Olympic Games, but that no direct link was immediately apparent.Foreign Minister Israel Katz asserted on X Friday that the fires were “planned and executed under the influence of Iran’s axis of evil,” but he did not provide any evidence for the claim besides a previous warning he has made of such a plot.French Transportation Minister Patrice Vergriete described people fleeing from the scene of fires and the discovery of incendiary devices. “Everything indicates that these are criminal fires,” he said.The incidents paralyzed several high-speed lines linking Paris to the rest of France and to neighboring countries, Vergriete said.The Paris police prefecture “concentrated its personnel in Parisian train stations” after the “massive attack” that paralyzed the TGV high-speed network, Laurent Nuñez, the Paris police chief, told France Info television.Travel to and from London beneath the English Channel, to neighboring Belgium, and across the west, north and east of France was affected by what the French national rail company SNCF called a series of coordinated overnight incidents.Government officials denounced the acts, though they said there was no immediate sign of a direct link to the Olympics. National police said authorities were investigating the incidents.French Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castera said authorities were working to “evaluate the impact on travelers, athletes, and ensure the transport of all delegations to the competition sites” for the Olympics.Speaking on the BMF television station, she added: “Playing against the Games is playing against France, against your own camp, against your country.” She did not identify who was behind the vandalism.SNCF said it did not know when traffic would resume and feared that disruptions would continue “at least all weekend.” SNCF teams “were already on site to carry out diagnostics and begin repairs,” but the “situation should last at least all weekend while the repairs are carried out,” the operator said.SNCF advised “all passengers to postpone their journey and not to go to the station,” specifying in its press release that all tickets were exchangeable and refundable.Valerie Pecresse, president of the regional council of the greater Paris region said “250,000 travelers will be affected today on all these lines.” Substitution plans were underway, but Pecresse advised travelers “not to go to stations.”The incidents come amid a heavy security presence throughout Paris in advance of the Games.A huge security perimeter has been erected along both banks of the Seine, guarded around the clock by some of the 45,000 police and paramilitary officers who will be on duty on Friday evening. Another 10,000 soldiers are set to add to the security blanket along with 22,000 private security guards.Police snipers are set to be positioned on every high point along the route of the river convoy, which is overlooked by hundreds of buildings. Armed officers will also be on the boats, a security source told AFP.The Israeli and Palestinian teams will be given extra protection, amid tension over the ongoing war in Gaza, which began on October 7 of last year, when thousands of terrorists invaded southern Israel from the Gaza Strip, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages.In a telephone briefing on Friday cited by the Ynet news site, President Isaac Herzog said he “has a lot of trust in the security infrastructure of the French and of the other states there, and also on the Olympic Committee, which has made an enormous effort.”“There were attempts by hostile elements to damage the offices of the International Olympic Committee. If you stand strong and rigid, you push back everyone who is trying to sabotage you,” the president added.Antisemitic and anti-Israel incidents have surged in France, as they have around the world, in the months since the attack that started the war. French police have also made several arrests on terrorism charges in recent months.Organizers will be on guard against fresh protests, after the Israeli soccer team’s first match on Wednesday was marked by the waving of Palestinian flags and the booing of the Israeli anthem.Israel has also dispatched Shin Bet agents to secure its athletes, who will work in cooperation with local French security and Parisian police forces, former Shin Bet official Lior Akerman said last week.Sports and Culture Minister Miki Zohar told the Telegraph newspaper that the budget for Israel’s security team has been doubled since the Tokyo Games in 2021, and that preparations for the Games have been in the works for “more than a year.”Israel’s National Security Council on Sunday told citizens traveling to Paris for the Olympics to exercise increased caution, warning that it believes that global jihadist and Iran-backed terror organizations “are seeking to carry out attacks on Israeli/Jewish targets around the Olympics.”

IDF volunteer soldier killed in south Gaza fighting; 100 gunmen killed in Khan Younis-Cpl. (res.) Moti Rave, 37, had license for heavy machinery from civilian construction work, joined army amid war to operate D9 bulldozer-By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 11:13 am-JUL 26,24
An Israeli soldier was killed during fighting against the Hamas terror group in southern Gaza’s Rafah on Thursday, the military announced Friday, as troops pressed on with operations across the Strip.The slain soldier was named by the Israel Defense Forces as Cpl. (res.) Moti Rave, 37, from the community of Shani, also known as Livne, which straddles the southern West Bank border.Rave served as an engineering vehicle operator in the Givati Infantry Brigade.He had volunteered in the military through the so-called Shlav Bet track, in which older people who didn’t previously serve have a shortened basic training before being sent to serve in specialized roles.Rave worked in construction and had a license for heavy machinery. He was therefore sent to operate an engineering vehicle in the military.According to an initial probe, Rave was killed by anti-tank fire that hit a D9 armored bulldozer he was operating in Rafah. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.He is survived by his wife and two young children.Eliram Azoulai, the head of the Har Hebron Regional Council, said Rave “always sought to volunteer, reach out and be where he was needed.”His death brought Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in other military operations along the border with the Strip to 330. The toll includes a police officer killed in a hostage rescue mission and a Defense Ministry civilian contractor.Meanwhile, the IDF said Friday that more than 100 terror operatives had been killed by troops with the 98th Division during a new operation in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.The offensive in Khan Younis was launched on Monday after the IDF said it had identified Hamas terrorists regrouping there, three months after the IDF withdrew from the city in southern Gaza. The offensive was also aimed at enabling an operation on Wednesday to recover the bodies of five slain hostages.The IDF said that Israeli Air Force drones directed by the 98th Division also struck seven mortar-launching cells in Khan Younis in the past day.Further south, in Rafah — where Rave was killed — the IDF said troops with the 162nd Division killed numerous terror operatives as well as located tunnels and weaponry, including long-range rocket launchers, in the previous 24 hours.Also in Rafah, the military said an IAF drone strike killed two gunmen spotted by troops of the 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit. A short while later, another terror operative was spotted trying to take a gun from one of the dead gunmen. The IDF said a second strike killed the additional operative along with another gunman.Meanwhile, IAF fighter jets, combat helicopters and drones struck some 45 targets across Gaza over the past day, the military said.The targets included cells of gunmen, tunnel shafts and buildings used by terror groups, as well as other infrastructure, including rocket launchers previously used to attack the southern city of Beersheba, according to the IDF.War erupted on October 7 when Hamas led a devastating cross-border attack on southern Israel that killed 1,200 people. The estimated 3,000 terrorists who burst through the boundary also abducted 251 people who were taken as hostages to Gaza.Israel responded with a military offensive to destroy Hamas, topple its Gaza regime, and free the hostages.The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 39,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed some 15,000 combatants in battle and some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel during the October 7 attack.

Top Israeli official insists Saudi normalization still possible before US elections-US, Israeli sources recently said window for deal before US elections has closed due to Congress schedule; PM said in Congress speech regional alliance is needed to counter Iran
By Jacob Magid-and ToI Staff Today, 1:21 pm-JUL 26,24
WASHINGTON — A normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia is still possible before the US presidential election, a top Israeli official told reporters Friday, adding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the matter with US President Joe Biden during their Thursday meeting at the White House.“If the costs are acceptable to us. It could develop there even before the elections. Israel and Saudi Arabia share a common interest,” the Israeli official said, ostensibly referring to efforts to curb Iran’s influence in the region.The official’s assessment ran counter to previous American and Israeli sources who suggested earlier this month that the deal was no longer achievable before the November 5 election.Netanyahu met separately on Thursday with Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House. The meetings came a day after Netanyahu, in a speech to Congress, laid out his vision for a regional anti-Iran axis comprising “America, Israel and our Arab friends.” The premier did not explicitly mention Saudi Arabia or the normalization efforts in the speech.Senior congressional sources told The Times of Israel earlier this month that there was no chance for a deal before the election because there wasn’t enough time left for Congress to authorize the security package that Riyadh is seeking with Washington as part of the broader initiative being advanced by the Biden administration.The sources didn’t completely rule out a deal between the election and the inauguration of the next US president, but they stressed that it was still very unlikely. An Israeli official agreed, saying Republican lawmakers were likely unwilling to give Biden a diplomatic achievement in an election year.A White House official didn’t go as far as the congressional sources, arguing that the window to secure a deal “hasn’t closed completely.”But they agreed that a deal isn’t possible without a ceasefire first being reached in Gaza — a point made publicly by top US and Saudi officials, who have recognized that Riyadh will not be able to sell a normalization deal domestically or in the region if the Israel-Hamas war is still ongoing.Relatives of Israeli hostages held by Hamas said Thursday, after meeting with Biden and Netanyahu, that the US president had made them more optimistic for a deal than they had been since November, when a weeklong ceasefire mediated by the US, Egypt and Qatar secured the release of 105 hostages.US Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina — one of the few Republicans to declare up front that he would be prepared to back a deal brokered by a Democratic White House — surmised upon meeting Netanyahu in January that the Biden administration had until June to finalize the normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia.In a July 15 interview, Biden said Saudi Arabia wants to normalize relations with Israel in exchange for security guarantees from the United States.Riyadh had not publicly gone that far, and its officials have reiterated that their country will not normalize relations with Israel unless Jerusalem agrees to establish a pathway to a future Palestinian state — a condition Netanyahu has flatly rejected.Netanyahu was set to also meet in Florida on Friday with Republican presidential nominee, former US president Donald Trump.Trump, who orchestrated the 2020 Abraham Accords normalization agreements between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, estimated at the time that Riyadh would follow in the two Arab countries’ footsteps.During his presidency, Trump also showed fealty to Netanyahu’s anti-Iran stance by withdrawing from predecessor Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear agreement with Tehran, which the premier campaigned against.Talks toward normalization picked up speed in 2023 but were cut short by the war in Gaza. Four days before Hamas’s October 7 — when thousands of terrorists stormed southern Israel to kill nearly 1,200 people and take 251 hostages, sparking the war — Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi led a delegation to Saudi Arabia. The visit came less than a week after Tourism Minister Haim Katz made the first-ever official visit to Saudi Arabia by an Israeli minister.
