WARN THE PEOPLE-WW3
EZEKIEL 33:1-6
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
DANIEL 11:40-45 (WW3 BREAKDOWN)
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south( EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) and the king of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIM HORDES OF EZEK 38+39) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east(CHINA 2ND WAVE OF WW3) and out of the north(RUSSIA, MUSLIMS WHATS LEFT FROM WAVE 1) shall trouble him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.( 1/3RD OF EARTHS POPULATION)
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

GENESIS 16:11-12
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael;(ARAB/MUSLIM) because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man;(RIOTS-BURNING-MURDEROUUS RAGE) his hand will be against every man,(ISLAM WANTS WORLD DOMINATION) and every man's hand against him;(DEFENDING THEMSELVES) and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.(ARAB/MUSLIMS LIVE WITH ISRAELIS)
ISAIAH 33:1,18-19 Woe to thee that spoilest,(destroys) and thou wast not spoiled;(destroyed) and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil,(destroy) thou shalt be spoiled;(destroyed) and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
JOHN 16:2
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.(ISLAM MURDERS IN THE NAME OF THEIR MOON GOD ALLAH)
ISAIAH 14:12-23
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, (SATAN) son of the morning! (HEBREW MEANS CRESCENT MOON ANGEL-ISLAM OVIOUSLY)(SATAN IS THE GOD OF ISLAM) how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
EZEKIEL 31:10-17
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.(HELL).
15Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
17They also went down into hell with him unto [them that be] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
EZEKIEL 32:17-32
17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, [even] her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
20 They shall fall in the midst of [them that are] slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
22 Asshur [is] there and all her company: his graves [are] about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
24 There [is] Elam (IRAN) and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of [them that be] slain.
26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal,(RUSSIA) (GERMANY, TURKEY) and all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27And they shall not lie with the mighty [that are] fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with [them that are] slain with the sword.
29 There [is] Edom,(JORDAN) her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by [them that were] slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
30 There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, [even] Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are] slain with the sword, [even] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I (GOD) will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say,(RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS) I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDI-ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(SPAIN) with all the young lions thereof,(ENGLAND,AND ALL ITS ASSOCIATES-CANADA,AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND, USA, AND WESTERN ENGLISH SPEAKING NATIONS) shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
EZEKIEL 39:11-22
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13 Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)(EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN THE JORDAN VALLEY)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl,(500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS THREW ISRAEL EVERY SPRING,FALL) and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.(OF THE RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ARMIES)
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
REVELATION 19:17-18
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;(AGAINST ALL NATIONS ARMIES THAT COME AGAINST JERUSALEM AND ISRAEL)
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse:(CHLORES GREEN) and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.(Christians have new bodies,this is the people against Jerusalem during the 7 yr treaty)(Christians bodies are not being eaten by the birds).THESE ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES-NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES.BECAUSE NOT HALF OF PEOPLE ON EARTH ARE CHRISTIANS.AND THE CONTEXT IN LUKE 17 IS THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION OR 7 YR TREATY PERIOD.WHICH IS JUDGEMENT ON THE EARTH.NOT 50% RAPTURED TO HEAVEN.
MATTHEW 24:37-42 (THESE ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES-SURE NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES)(50% OF EARTHS POPULATION DIE)
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.(ON EARTH)

EZEKIEL 32:18-29 (NOTICE ALL THE COUNTRIES LAND PROMISED ISRAEL BY GOD ARE IN THE JORDAN VALLEY BURIED)
18 “Son of man, wail for the multitudes of Egypt, and consign her and the daughters of the mighty nations to the depths of the earth with those who descend to the Pit:
19 Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised! (IN HELL FIRES)
20 They will fall among those slain by the sword. The sword is appointed! Let them drag her away along with all her multitudes.
21 Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of Sheol about Egypt and her allies: ‘They have come down and lie with the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.’
22 Assyria (SYRIA) is there with her whole company; her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.
23 Her graves are set in the depths of the Pit, and her company is all around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—those who once spread terror in the land of the living.
24 Elam (IRAN) is there with all her multitudes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—those who went down uncircumcised to the earth below, who once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.
25 Among the slain they prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.
26 Meshech and Tubal (RUSSIA) are there with all their multitudes, with their graves all around them. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
27 They do not lie down with the fallen warriors of old, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads, whose shields rested on their bones, although the terror of the mighty was once in the land of the living.
28 But you too will be shattered and lie down among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.
29 Edom (JORDAN) is there, and all her kings and princes, who despite their might are laid among those slain by the sword. They lie down with the uncircumcised, with those who descend to the Pit.THIS IS RIGHT FROM 93:
SECOND ANGEL: MIDDLE EAST
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.
PSALMS 83:1-8 (GODS LAND PROMISED TO ISRAEL)
1 O God, do not remain silent;do not turn a deaf ear,do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they (ARAB,MUSLIMS) conspire against your people;they plot against those you cherish.(ISRAELIS)
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;(TREATIES) they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom (JORDAN) and the Ishmaelites, (EGYPTIAN ARABS SO CALLED PALESTIANS) of Moab (JORDAN) and the Hagrites,(EGYPT)
7 Byblos,(HEZBOLLOH) Ammon (JORDAN) and Amalek,(SYRIAN ARABS IN THE SINAI) Philistia,(ARABS) with the people of Tyre (LEBANON).

GENESIS 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.(WORLD TERRORISM,MURDERS)(HAMAS IN HEBREW IS VIOLENCE)
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence (TERRORISM)(HAMAS) through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
1 OF 3 GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO
1-PROMISCUOUS SEX AMOUNG EACH OTHER.
ROMANS 1:24
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (THE 60S FREE SEX)
2 OF 3 GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO
2-SODOMITES - MEN LUSTING MEN, AND WOMEN LUSTING AFTER WOMEN.
ROMANS 1:26-27
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
3 OF 3 GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO
3-A DEPRAVED MIND-ANY SIN GOES.
ROMANS 1:28-31
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO THESE 3 DEPRAVED ABOMINATION SINS?
OH OH NOAHS DAY. WHAT HAPPENED IN NOAHS DAY. THE WHOLE WORLD WAS JUDGED BY WATER.
GENESIS 6:7,17
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
GENESIS 7:4
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
GENESIS 8:16
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
WELL THE SODOMITES PICKED THE RIGHT SIGN OF A RAINBOW FOR JUDGEMENT. THE SODOMITES TRYED TO STEAL GODS SIGN THAT THE WHOLE EARTH WILL NEVER DIE FROM FLOOD WATERS AGAIN. BUT THE JUDGEMENT THIS TIME IS GOING TO BE BY FIRE.NOT WATER.
2 PETER 3:7
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
EZIKIEL 38:12-13
13 Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDIA ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(ENGLAND) with all the young lions thereof,(USA,CANADA,AUSTRALIA,NEW ZEALAND,EU,ENGLAND,ENGLISH SPEAKING shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? (AGAINST ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, (RUSSIA AND HER MUSLIMS HORDES)Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
ISRAEL SATAN COMES AGAINST

1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
GENESIS 12:1-3
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I (GOD) will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee,(ISRAELIS) and curse (DESTROY) him that curseth thee:(DESTROY THEM) and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

How does Iron Dome work?
Iron Dome has become the most combat-tested air defence system in the world, because of the number of missiles in recent years fired into Israel by Hamas and other militant groups from Gaza, and by Hezbollah from Lebanon.There are Iron Dome batteries sited across Israel. Every battery comprises three or four launchers, each containing 20 interceptor missiles.Infographic showing how the Iron Dome missile defence system works-Iron Dome detects and tracks incoming rockets with radar and calculates which ones are likely to fall on populated areas. It then fires missiles at these rockets, while the others are left to fall on open ground.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has previously claimed that Iron Dome destroys 90% of the rockets it targets. Its "Tamir" missiles are thought to cost about $50,000 each.The system was developed after the 2006 "Summer War" between Israel and Hezbollah. The Lebanon-based armed group fired nearly 4,000 rockets into Israel, causing huge damage and killing dozens of citizens.Designed by Israeli firms Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries - with some US support - Iron Dome was deployed in 2011.It was first used in combat that year, intercepting a rocket fired from Gaza.Since October 2023, Iron Dome missiles have intercepted tens of thousands of rockets fired by Hamas and other militant groups from Gaza.
How does David's Sling work?
David's Sling, called "Magic Wand" in Hebrew, can intercept missiles up to 300km away.Jointly developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems of Israel and Raytheon of the US, it started operating in 2017.A David's Sling launcher pictured during a military exercise-Its "Stunner" missiles are designed to shoot down short-range, mid-range and long-range ballistic missiles at low altitudes. Like Iron Dome, David's Sling only targets missiles which threaten built-up areas.Both David's Sling and Iron Dome are designed also to intercept aircraft, drones and cruise missiles.Each David's Sling missile costs about $1m.The system was used in September 2024 to shoot down a ballistic missile fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon.The IDF said this was an Iranian-made Qadr-1 - a medium-range ballistic missile that can carry a warhead of between 700kg and 1,000kg.Hezbollah said the missile was aimed at the headquarters of Mossad in Tel Aviv, but the IDF said it was heading towards a residential area.David's Sling was also used in May 2023 when Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a militant group in Gaza, launched over 1,100 missiles at Israel. Israel says it shot down 96% of the rockets which posed a threat.
How do Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 work?
Arrow 2 is designed to destroy short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles while they are flying through the upper atmosphere, about 50km above the Earth.Work started on the system after the First Gulf War in 1991, when Iraq fired dozens of Soviet-made Scud missiles into Israel. It entered service in 2000.It can detect missiles from 500km away. It intercepts them at comparatively short range - at distances of up to 100km from the launch site.Its missiles travel at nine times the speed of sound, and it can fire at up to 14 targets at once.Arrow 2 was reportedly used in combat for the first time in 2017, to shoot down a Syrian surface-to-air missile.The Arrow 2 system is designed to intercept ballistic missiles in Earth's upper atmosphereArrow 3 was first deployed in 2017, and is designed to intercept long-range ballistic missiles as they travel at the top of their arc, outside the Earth's atmosphere. It has a range of 2,400km.It was first used in combat in 2023, to intercept a ballistic missile which the Houthi rebels in Yemen fired at the coastal city of Eilat, in southern Israel.The system was developed by state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries, with help from the US company Boeing.
IRGC commander threatens strikes on Israeli energy sites-Khamenei says Iran ‘won’t back down, Israel won’t last long’; hails Hamas Oct. 7 massacre-Supreme leader, gun in hand at sermon, claims Israel will ‘never defeat Hamas and Hezbollah’ after terror chiefs killed, calls missile attack ‘minimum punishment for Zionist crimes’By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 5:27 pm-OCT 4,24
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a rare Friday sermon defending this week’s missile attack on Israel that deepened fears of a regional war, while praising the “logical and legal” Hamas-led October 7 invasion and massacre in southern Israel that sparked the war in Gaza and fueled violence throughout the Middle East.Speaking in front of tens of thousands at a mosque in the capital Tehran, Khamenei said Iran-backed armed groups in the Middle East “will not back down” even after Israel recently killed a spate of terrorist leaders.In his first public Friday sermon in nearly five years, Khamenei spoke in Arabic to discuss fighting against Israel by the Iran-aligned “axis of resistance,” including Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Palestinian terror group Hamas.“The resistance in the region will not back down with these martyrdoms, and will win,” Khamenei told the crowd at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla mosque, where supporters carried portraits of slain Hezbollah and Hamas leaders.“Israel will never defeat Hamas and Hezbollah,” he declared.He hailed the terror groups’ “fierce defense” against Israeli forces over the past year, referring to Hamas’s brutal October 7 onslaught against Israel and the subsequent solidarity attacks by Hezbollah, Yemen’s Houthi rebels and militia groups in Iraq and Syria.The Tehran-backed terrorists were engaged in “logical and legitimate” action against Israel, Khamenei claimed, and “no one has the right to criticize them.”Khamenei was pictured holding a rifle and spoke with it by his side.He claimed Tuesday’s missile barrage, which sent most of Isrsael’s populace into bomb shelters and killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank, was based on international law, Iranian law and Islamic beliefs.He urged nations from “Afghanistan to Yemen and from Iran to Gaza and Yemen” to be ready to take action against the enemy, and praised those who had died doing so.The speech was preceded by a commemoration ceremony for Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah who was killed in an Israeli strike on southern Beirut on September 27 alongside Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Abbas Nilforoushan.‘Minimum punishment’Khamenei’s sermon took place days before the first anniversary of the October 7 terror atrocities, and after Iran this week had fired barrages of some 200 missiles at Israel in what it said was retaliation for the killings of Nasrallah, Nilforoushan as well as Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July.“What our armed forces did was the minimum punishment for the crimes of the usurping Zionist regime,” said Khamenei of the missile fire, Iran’s second-ever direct attack on US-backed Israel.The Iranian leader charged that Israel was a “malicious regime” which has “only kept itself standing by the injection of American support.”It “will not last long,” he said.“The Palestinians were right” to launch the unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel, Khamenei stated, calling it “a logical and legal” action.Iran has hailed but denied any involvement in the Hamas attack, which was the deadliest on Jews since the Holocaust. Some 3,000 Hamas-led terrorists burst through the border from Gaza and killed 1,200 people — most of them civilians slaughtered in their homes and at a music festival, amid rapes and other monstrous acts of brutality. The terrorists also abducted 251 people, 97 of whom are still held captive.Tehran cut ties with Israel following the 1979 Islamic Revolution and has since made destruction of Israel and the championing of the Palestinian cause a centerpiece of its foreign policy.Khamenei last led Friday prayers in January 2020 after Iran fired missiles at a US army base in Iraq, in response to a strike that killed the IRGC Al-Quds force commander Qassem Soleimani.Hamas, Hezbollah and other armed groups in the Middle East, along with Syria’s Assad regime, are part of the Iran-aligned “axis of resistance” to Israel and its ally the United States.In April, Tehran launched missiles and drones against Israel in retaliation for a deadly Israeli strike that killed a Revolutionary Guards commander at the Iranian consulate in Damascus.In both attacks, nearly all missiles were intercepted by Israel or its allies.Also Friday, the semi-official Iranian news agency SNN quoted Revolutionary Guards deputy commander Ali Fadavi as saying that if Israel attacks, following this week’s missile barrage, Tehran would target Israeli energy and gas installations.“If the occupiers make such a mistake, we will target all their energy sources, installations and all refineries and gas fields,” Fadavi said.Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi arrived in Beirut for a visit hours after intensive Israeli airstrikes that reportedly targeted Nasrallah’s presumed successor. Araqchi met with top Lebanese officials, including caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and speaker of parliament Nabih Berri – a Hezbollah ally.Iran’s most senior diplomat also said his presence in Beirut “in these difficult circumstances” was the best evidence that Iran stood by Lebanon and supported the Shi’ites.Araqchi said Tehran supported efforts for a ceasefire in Lebanon on the condition it would be backed by Hezbollah and simultaneous with a ceasefire in Gaza, where the US and other mediators have been unsuccessfully pushing for a hostage-truce agreement to end the fighting between Israel and Hamas.
Army: Head of Hezbollah comms division killed in Beirut strike-IDF says over 250 Hezbollah operatives killed in southern Lebanon ground offensive-Military sources report signs of ‘exhaustion’ among terror group’s fighters; Gallant warns Israel has ‘more surprises in store’; over 180 rockets fired at north on Friday-By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 9:19 pm-OCT 4,24
More than 250 Hezbollah operatives have been killed during Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon since troops began a ground offensive there earlier this week, the Israel Defense Forces said Friday, as Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned Israel has “more surprises in store” and the Lebanese terror group bombarded the north with rocket salvos.The Israeli ground operations in southern Lebanon have been described by the IDF as “limited, localized, and targeted raids,” with the goal of demolishing Hezbollah’s infrastructure in the border area, especially in the villages adjacent to Israel, to enable residents of the north to return home.Military officials have said that the Israel Defense Forces intends for the operations to end as quickly as possible, even within a few weeks.Among the 250 Hezbollah fighters killed since the ground offensive started late Monday are at least 21 field commanders, according to the IDF, including five brigade-level commanders, 10 company commanders, and six platoon commanders.The Israeli toll in the ground offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon stands at nine.The IDF’s 98th and 36th divisions were operating in several Lebanese villages close to the Israeli border, where the military said troops had located a large amount of weapons and infrastructure that Hezbollah left behind.More than half a million Lebanese civilians have fled southern Lebanon following IDF evacuation warnings, according to military assessments, including residents of 37 towns and villages who were told Friday morning to immediately leave flee the area and head north of the Awali River. The IDF has said it would update the civilians when it is safe to return.Troops have mostly come under anti-tank missile fire and mortar attacks amid the operations, though there have also been several close-quarters engagements.In one incident Thursday, IDF paratroopers killed some 15 Hezbollah operatives who were spotted in buildings and tunnel shafts in a village in southern Lebanon. Only one soldier was wounded in the engagement.The ground operations were launched as Israel continued to carry out strikes on the terror group’s top commanders in the capital Beirut, capabilities across the country, and weapon shipments from Iran.In southern Lebanon, amid the ground operations, more than 2,000 Hezbollah sites have been struck from the air, the IDF added.Military sources said the IDF has seen signs of “exhaustion” among Hezbollah’s fighters in southern Lebanon, but did not offer further details on how this was manifesting.The military attributed Hezbollah forces’ weariness to the killing of many of the terror group’s commanders, including numerous field officers.“Hezbollah is receiving very severe blows, one after the other. We eliminated [Hezbollah chief Hassan] Nasrallah and we have more surprises in store, some of which have already been carried out and some of which will be carried out,” Gallant said Friday during a visit to the 36th Division’s headquarters in northern Israel. The division’s troops are operating in southern Lebanon.“[Hezbollah’s] missile and rocket division suffered a very heavy blow. A significant part was destroyed as a result of a high-quality and precise operation. Command and control headquarters, communications, the entire leadership of [the elite Radwan Force], and in fact the entire second and third tiers of command below Nasrallah were eliminated,” he continued.Gallant added that the IDF was “carrying out an operation today in several villages, and this process will continue wherever necessary to destroy all the infrastructure from which Hezbollah planned to carry out attacks.”Rocket attacks on north and strikes in Lebanon-Meanwhile, some 180 rockets were fired from Lebanon in barrages targeting northern Israel throughout the day, including over 70 rockets in a two-hour span on Friday evening.According to the IDF, many of the rockets were shot down by air defenses, and the remainder struck open areas.Separately, two suspected drones that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon a short while ago were shot down by the Israeli Air Force, the military said.Earlier, some two dozen rockets were fired from Lebanon at the Haifa area in a pair of salvos Friday morning, setting off sirens in the northern coastal city and surrounding communities.The military said most of the projectiles were intercepted while others struck open ground.Additionally, rockets were fired toward the Galilee area. Those too were either intercepted or hit non-populated areas.There were no reports of injuries or major damage in the attacks.On the opposite side of the border, the IDF said fighter jets and drones struck dozens of Hezbollah sites across Lebanon in the past day.The military said targets in Beirut included weapon depots, command rooms, intelligence sites, surveillance equipment, and other infrastructure.In southern Lebanon, the IDF said dozens of Hezbollah weapon depots, cells of operatives, rocket launchers, and buildings used by the terror group were struck.The Israeli strikes and rocket fire from Lebanon came after Israel carried out intensive strikes in Beirut late Thursday that reportedly targeted Hashem Safieddine, Hezbollah’s next projected leader following the assassination last week of the terror group’s chief Hassan Nasrallah.There has been no word on his fate and neither the IDF or Hezbollah have yet to comment on the attack.On Friday, the military announced it killed the commander of Hezbollah’s communications division in a separate airstrike in Beirut late Thursday.According to the IDF, Muhammad Rashid Sakafi headed Hezbollah’s communications since 2000 and was considered close to the terror group’s leadership.“Sakafi invested significant efforts to develop communication capabilities between all of Hezbollah’s units in all periods of operation, to maintain the flow of information throughout the terrorist organization,” the military added.Israel has in the past two weeks stepped up its attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon, all but decimating the terror group’s top command in a series of massive airstrikes on Beirut and southern Lebanon.The escalation followed Israel’s decision last month to make the return home of northern residents an official war aim.Some 60,000 residents were evacuated from northern towns on the Lebanon border shortly after Hamas’s onslaught on October 7, out of fear Hezbollah would carry out a similar attack.The onslaught saw thousands of Hamas-led terrorists storm southern Israel to kill nearly 1,200 people and take 251 hostages, sparking the war in Gaza.Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war there.So far, the skirmishes have resulted in 26 civilian deaths on the Israeli side, and — excluding the soldiers killed in the ground operation — the deaths of 22 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.Hezbollah has named 516 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. Another 92 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and dozens of civilians have also been killed. These numbers have not been consistently updated since Israel began the new offensive against Hezbollah, in which Lebanon’s health ministry says over 1,100 people have been killed.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
US and British militaries strike over a dozen Houthi targets across Yemen-American officials confirm aircraft and warships bombed strongholds of the Iran-backed rebels, who have threatened ‘escalating military operations’ against Israel-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 8:59 pm-OCT 4,24
The US and British militaries struck more than a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen on Friday, going after weapons systems, bases and other equipment belonging to the Iranian-backed rebels, US officials confirmed.Military aircraft and warships bombed Houthi strongholds at roughly five locations, according to the officials.Houthi media said seven strikes hit the airport in Hodeida, a major port city, and the Katheib area, which has a Houthi-controlled military base. Four more strikes hit the Seiyana area in Sanaa, the capital, and two strikes hit the Dhamar province. The Houthi media office also reported three air raids in Bayda province, southeast of Sanaa.There was no immediate comment from the United States or Britain and the Houthi-run outlets did not elaborate on any damage or casualties.The strikes come just days after the Houthis threatened “escalating military operations” targeting Israel since apparently shooting down a US military drone flying over Yemen. And just last week, the group claimed responsibility for an attack targeting American warships.The rebels fired more than a half dozen ballistic missiles and anti-ship cruise missiles and two drones at three US ships that were traveling through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, all of which were intercepted by the Navy destroyers, according to several US officials.The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details not yet publicly released.Houthis have targeted more than 80 merchant vessels with missiles and drones since the Hamas onslaught on Israel last October started the war in Gaza, saying the attacks are a show of support for Palestinians. They have seized one vessel and sunk two in the campaign that has also killed four sailors.Other missiles and drones have either been intercepted by a US-led coalition in the Red Sea or failed to reach their targets, which have included Western military vessels.The group has maintained that they target ships linked to Israel, the US or the United Kingdom to force an end to Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza. However, many of the ships attacked have little or no connection to the conflict, including some bound for Iran.In addition to attacking ships, the Houthis have targeted Israel directly with missiles and drones, including a drone attack early Thursday targeting the center of the country.In response to the latest ballistic missile attacks, the Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes on infrastructure in western Yemen earlier this week that the military said was used by the Houthis.
Nasrallah temporarily buried amid fears Israel will strike public funeral — source-Source close to Lebanese group says remains of slain terror leader being kept at secret site ‘until circumstances allow’ for public burial-By AFP and ToI Staff Today, 5:47 pm-OCT 4,24
A source close to Hezbollah said Friday that the Lebanese terror group’s slain chief Hassan Nasrallah has been temporarily buried in a secret location for fear Israel would target a large funeral.“Hassan Nasrallah has been temporarily buried until the circumstances allow for a public funeral,” the source said after an Israeli strike killed the leader last week.The source said a public funeral had been impossible to hold “for fear of Israeli threats they would target mourners and the place of his burial.”Shiite Muslim rites provide for such a temporary burial when circumstances prevent a proper funeral or the deceased cannot be buried where they wished.A Lebanese official who spoke on condition of anonymity said Hezbollah had, through top Lebanese officials, sought but failed to obtain “guarantees” from the United States, a key ally of Israel, that Israel would not target a public funeral.Amid intensifying Israeli bombardment of Hezbollah-controlled areas, a massive strike on its south Beirut stronghold on September 27 killed Nasrallah alongside an an Iranian general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.Israel said it killed around 20 members of the Iran-backed terror group.Nasrallah still does not have a successor a week after he was killed.His cousin Hashem Safieddine, a prominent Hezbollah figure touted as a possible successor, was reportedly the target of an Israeli airstrike late Thursday on south Beirut. There is still no word on his fate.
IDF says it destroyed tunnel used to smuggle Iranian weapons from Syria to Lebanon-Two-mile cross-border passage targeted in airstrike; military also hits ‘infrastructure’ at Masnaa border crossing used by Lebanese civilians; minister says border sealed by craterBy Emanuel Fabian, ToI Staff and Reuters Today, 1:30 pm-OCT 4,24
The Israel Defense Forces said Friday that fighter jets struck a two-mile-long tunnel overnight that crossed between Lebanon and Syria, and which the military said was used by Hezbollah to smuggle Iranian weapons.According to the IDF, the tunnel was operated by Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is tasked with delivering weapons from Iran and its proxies to Lebanon.The strike destroyed the tunnel where weapons were transported through and stored, as well as buildings, weapon depots and other infrastructure in the vicinity, the military said.It was the first time the military has announced the destruction of a tunnel between Lebanon and Syria.The IDF also said Friday it had conducted a separate overnight airstrike on “infrastructure” at Lebanon’s main border crossing with Syria, after identifying an attempted delivery of Iranian weapons to Hezbollah via the civilian crossing.Lebanese Transport Minister Ali Hamieh, a Hezbollah member, told Reuters the strike had created a 12-foot (four-meter) crater next to the Masnaa Border Crossing, sealing off Lebanon’s main route to Syria.Last night Israel cut off the main Highway linking Lebanon with #Syria, bombing it near the Yafour border crossing (W. Damascus)Traffic is temporarily stopped. pic.twitter.com/QTY668kgEJ— Qalaat Al Mudiq (@QalaatAlMudiq) October 4, 2024-The Lebanese government said that some 310,000 people — mostly Syrians — have used the road to flee to Syria in the past ten days, amid the escalation in fighting.The IDF has said it has stepped up efforts to prevent any weapons being delivered from Iran to Hezbollah via Syria. On Tuesday, the commander of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400 was killed in a strike on Beirut.Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF Arabic spokesperson, on Thursday accused Hezbollah of using the border crossing to smuggle Iranian arms into Lebanon.“The IDF will not allow the smuggling of these weapons and will not hesitate to act if forced to do so,” he wrote on X.Hamieh responded to the Israeli allegations at a press conference on Thursday, saying the crossing was subject to the authority of the Lebanese state and was being secured “in accordance with international law.”The border crossing strike came hours after a massive Israeli airstrike on Beirut — said to have targeted Hashem Safieddine, the apparent successor to longtime Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah — at the terror group’s intelligence headquarters.The strikes came as the IDF broadened its ground operation in south Lebanon on Thursday and Hezbollah fired over 240 rockets into northern Israel.The heavy rocket fire into northern Israel continued Friday.The past two weeks have seen Israel step up its strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon, all but decimating the terror group’s top command in a series of massive airstrikes on Beirut and southern Lebanon.The escalation followed Israel’s decision last month to make the return home of northern residents an official war aim. Some 60,000 residents were evacuated from northern towns on the Lebanon border shortly after Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, out of fear Hezbollah would carry out a similar attack.Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war there.So far, the skirmishes have resulted in 26 civilian deaths on the Israeli side, and — excluding the soldiers killed in the ground operation — the deaths of 22 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.The IDF has announced the deaths of nine soldiers in the ground offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.The military has described the operations as “limited, localized and targeted raids,” with the goal of demolishing Hezbollah’s infrastructure in the border area. Officials have said that the military intends for the operations to end as quickly as possible.Since Israel escalated its airstrikes on the Hezbollah terror group on Monday, more than 630 people have been killed in Lebanon, according to the country’s health ministry.At least a quarter of those killed have been women and children, according to Lebanese health officials. More than 2,000 were wounded. Israel has said that many Hezbollah operatives are among the dead.
Security Council backs Guterres after Israeli move to label UN chief ‘persona non grata’Members release statement emphasizing need for all states in international body ‘to have a productive and effective relationship with the secretary-general’By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 12:15 pm-OCT 4,24
The United Nations Security Council on Thursday offered its full support to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, after Israel said he was “persona non grata” for not initially condemning Iran’s massive ballistic missile attack.Without naming Israel, the council’s five permanent members — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — and the 10 non-permanent members “underscored the need for all member states to have a productive and effective relationship with the secretary-general.”The Council also asked member states to “refrain from any actions that undermine his work and that of his office.”“Any decision not to engage with the UN secretary-general or the United Nations is counterproductive, especially in the context of escalating tensions in the Middle East,” it said.Israel on Wednesday declared the UN leader persona non grata for failing to specifically condemn Iran’s missile attack on Israel. In an initial statement on Tuesday, soon after the ballistic barrage, Guterres deplored the “broadening conflict in the Middle East” without mentioning the Iranian assault.Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced Guterres was barred from Israel, and accused the UN chief of kowtowing to “Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and now Iran — the mothership of global terror,” of failing to denounce the October 7 attacks and of neglecting to brand Hamas a terrorist organization. It was not clear whether Katz had the authority to ban Guterres from Israel.Guterres did later condemn Iran’s missile barrage, telling the Security Council on Thursday: “As should have been obvious yesterday in the context of the condemnation I expressed, I again strongly condemn yesterday’s massive missile attack by Iran on Israel.” Despite his use of “again,” this was in fact his first such condemnation.Israel has long had strained relations with the United Nations, with ties between the state and the international body souring even more after the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.France on Thursday condemned Israel’s decision, saying it was “unjustified.”“France regrets the unjustified, serious and counterproductive decision taken by Israel to declare the secretary-general of the United Nations, Mr. Antonio Guterres, persona non grata,” the French foreign ministry said in a statement.Paris said it had “full support for and confidence” in Guterres, adding that the United Nations played “a fundamental role in the stability of the region.”The United States has already criticized the move by its ally. And EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell also defended Guterres in a speech in Pontevedra in his native Spain, saying that “attacks on the UN secretary-general” must be rejected.“Yes, everything started with the terrorist attacks by Hamas that we condemn, but these attacks, as the UN secretary-general has said, didn’t come from nowhere,” Borrell declared, echoing remarks Guterres made weeks after the October 7 terror onslaught that prompted Israeli calls for his resignation.The attacks were “the umpteenth chapter of, a long story that started before,” Borrell went on.“To say that should not mean someone being called or given the insult of being antisemitic,” he said. “This word should not be trivialized… it is too serious, too painful to be applied to someone who expresses an opinion different from that of a government.”Borrell said Israel has the right to defend itself “but this right, like all rights, has limits.”“The question that we, Europeans, do not want to ask ourselves, or at least do not want to answer, is whether these limits have been reached. My answer is yes, unfortunately,” he said.
Lebanon news agency: One of the strongest raids in past year-Nasrallah’s presumed successor said to be target of heavy Israeli strike in Beirut-Unclear if Hashem Safieddine hurt; NYT says he was meeting other Hezbollah leaders in underground bunker; IDF says strike targeted Hezbollah’s intelligence HQ; drone from east shot down over Beit She’an valley-By Emanuel Fabian,Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 9:51 amOCT 4,24
Israel reportedly targeted the presumed successor to Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a heavy airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs around midnight Thursday, just under a week after the head of the Iran-backed terror group was killed in an Israeli attack.Both the Axios news site and The New York Times identified Hashem Safieddine as the target of the strike, with the latter outlet citing three Israeli officials saying he was attending a meeting with other senior Hezbollah leaders in an underground bunker.It was unclear if Safieddine was harmed in the strike.The IDF said Friday morning that the airstrike in Beirut targeted Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters. The military did not disclose who was at the underground bunker.There was no immediate reaction from Hezbollah.As head of the executive council, Safieddine oversees Hezbollah’s political affairs. He also sits on the Jihad Council, which manages the group’s military operations.Safieddine, whom the US State Department designated as a terrorist in 2017, is a cousin of Nasrallah and like him is a cleric who wears the black turban denoting ostensible descent from Islam’s Prophet Mohammed. Safieddine’s family ties and physical resemblance to Nasrallah, as well as his religious status as a descendant of Mohammed, would all count in his favor to succeed the slain arch-terrorist.He was reportedly targeted amid renewed air raids in Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold known as Dahiyeh after Israel ordered people to leave their homes in parts of the district.“Israel struck the southern suburbs 11 consecutive times,” a source close to Hezbollah said on condition of anonymity.AFP correspondents in the capital and beyond heard loud bangs that made car alarms go off and buildings shake. About an hour later, AFP journalists heard several explosions coming from the direction of the southern suburbs after the IDF ordered residents of the Hadath neighborhood to evacuate.AFP footage showed giant balls of flame rising from the targeted site with thick smoke billowing and flares shooting out.Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) said “more than 10 consecutive strikes have been recorded so far, in one of the strongest raids on the southern suburbs of Beirut since the start of the Israeli war on Lebanon.”The strikes echoed to mountain regions outside Beirut, the NNA said.Earlier Thursday, IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee had issued an “urgent warning” for residents of the south Beirut area of Burj al-Barajneh to evacuate along with maps of the area. He later issued the evacuation order for Hadath.“You are located near facilities and interests belonging to Hezbollah, and the IDF will work against them in the near future,” he said in a statement on X.Earlier in the evening, a source close to Hezbollah said another Israeli strike had targeted a warehouse next to Beirut airport, which borders Dahiyeh.“An Israeli airstrike targeted a warehouse adjacent to the airport,” the source told AFP, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. It was unclear what the warehouse contained.And early Friday, the IDF said it had intercepted “a hostile aircraft” that set off alarms in the Beit She’an valley in northeast Israel.According to the IDF, the aircraft had entered the territory from “the east” — a term the army has previously used to refer to attacks by Iraq-based militias which, like Hezbollah, belong to the “Axis of Resistance” network of Iran’s regional proxies.The strike said to target Safieddine came as the army broadened its ground operation in south Lebanon on Thursday and also conducted waves of airstrikes at Hezbollah targets, including eliminating a top commander responsible for killing 12 children in a rocket strike on Israel earlier in the year.Meanwhile, the Iran-backed group fired more than 200 rockets into northern Israel.Israel has in the past two weeks stepped up its attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon.Amid the escalation, Israel has all but decimated the terror group’s top command in a series of massive airstrikes on Beirut and southern Lebanon.The escalation followed Israel’s decision last month to make the return home of northern residents an official war aim.Some 60,000 residents were evacuated from northern towns on the Lebanon border shortly after Hamas’s onslaught on October 7, out of fear Hezbollah would carry out a similar attack.The onslaught saw thousands of Hamas-led terrorists storm southern Israel to kill nearly 1,200 people and take 251 hostages, sparking the war in Gaza.Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war there.So far, the skirmishes have resulted in 26 civilian deaths on the Israeli side, and — excluding the soldiers killed in the ground operation — the deaths of 22 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.The IDF has announced the deaths of nine soldiers in the ground offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The military has described the operations as “limited, localized and targeted raids,” with the goal of demolishing Hezbollah’s infrastructure in the border area. Officials have said that the military intends for the operations to end as quickly as possible.Since Israel escalated its airstrikes on the Hezbollah terror group on Monday, more than 630 people have been killed in Lebanon, according to the country’s health ministry.At least a quarter of those killed have been women and children, according to Lebanese health officials. More than 2,000 were wounded. Israel has said that many Hezbollah operatives are among the dead.
Kushner has held talks with MBS on US-Saudi diplomacy, Israel normalization-Source close to Trump’s son-in-law doesn’t specify when the discussions took place and declines to give further details, saying ‘it wouldn’t be appropriate to share that’By Reuters and ToI Staff Today, 6:48 pm-OCT 4,24
WASHINGTON — Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former US president Donald Trump, has discussed US-Saudi diplomatic negotiations involving Israel with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman multiple times since leaving the Trump White House, said a source familiar with the discussions.The source did not identify when the talks took place and whether they occurred before or after the Gaza conflict began with Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel. But they included discussions on the process of normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, a key diplomatic objective of both the Biden and Trump administrations, the source said.Kushner, 43, has a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, which congressional investigators say has invested $2 billion in his private equity fund, Affinity Partners, which Kushner set up after leaving the White House.The news that Kushner and Saudi Arabia’s de-facto leader discussed a peace accord that US President Joe Biden also has tried to broker illustrates the importance both Republicans and Democrats place on the increasingly unstable Middle East amid a razor-close presidential election. The talks also signal how Trump might manage the crisis in the region if voters return him to power – and renew questions about whether Kushner’s financial ties with Riyadh could influence US policy under his father-in-law.Saudi Arabia’s investments in Kushner’s fund have been criticized by ethics experts, Democrats in Congress and even some Republicans, who have expressed concern that Saudi Arabia’s stake can look like a payoff since Kushner worked on Saudi issues before leaving Trump’s White House.In a September 24 letter to Affinity, Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, wrote that investments by Saudi Arabia in Kushner’s fund raise “obvious conflicts of interest concerns.”Affinity and Kushner have denied that Saudi Arabia’s investments are a payoff or a conflict of interest. Affinity said Wyden and his Senate staff do not understand the realities of private equity. “The reason so many people go to Jared for his insights and his opinions is that he’s had such a record of successes,” said a spokesperson for Kushner.The source close to Kushner declined to provide more details of the discussions with the crown prince, also known as “MBS,” saying he did not want to violate the friendship between the two. “It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to share that,” the source said.A spokesperson for the Saudi Embassy in Washington did not answer questions about Kushner’s discussions with MBS.In a September 18 speech, MBS said the kingdom would not recognize Israel without the creation a Palestinian state, suggesting a deal may be near impossible for the foreseeable future. That’s a shift from February when three sources told Reuters that Saudi Arabia was willing to accept a political commitment from Israel to create a Palestinian state, rather than anything more binding, in a bid to get a defense pact with Washington approved before the US presidential election.To encourage Saudi Arabia to recognize Israel, the Biden administration has offered Riyadh security guarantees, assistance with a civilian nuclear program and a renewed push for a Palestinian state. The deal could reshape the Middle East by uniting two long-time foes and binding the world’s biggest oil exporter to Washington at a time when China is making inroads in the region.But the Gaza conflict has thrown the talks into uncertainty. The war and humanitarian crisis have strengthened Arab and Muslim support for the Palestinians in their decades-long conflict with Israel over land and statehood, making it difficult for Riyadh to discuss recognizing Israel without addressing Palestinian aspirations.The US election is also a factor as Trump, a Republican, vies with Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, in a historically tight race for the White House.The Saudi relationship with Trump was notably close. Trump’s first foreign trip as president in 2017 was to Riyadh, accompanied by Kushner. After Saudi expatriate opposition journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Trump stood by the crown prince in spite of a US intelligence assessment that he had authorized the killing. MBS denied involvement.Two sources familiar with Saudi strategy said that if Trump returns to the White House, the crown prince would welcome making a deal with Israel under his leadership. If Harris were to win, the agreement would still move forward, the sources said. Either way, the sources see it as a win-win for MBS, even if it requires a few more months of patience.On September 27, Prime Benjamin Netanyahu referred to the prospect of an agreement in positive terms. “What blessing such a peace with Saudi Arabia would bring,” he said in a speech to the UN General Assembly.Normalizing Israeli-Saudi relations would mark an expansion of the “Abraham Accords” sealed when Trump was in office. The accords led to the normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan. Kushner, who is close to Israel, led the negotiations as a senior adviser in Trump’s White House.Three sources close to Kushner said that if Trump wins November’s presidential election, they expect Kushner to be involved in the Saudi talks, albeit in an unofficial capacity. A spokesperson for Kushner denied that he is seeking such a role.If Kushner were to be involved in diplomatic talks as a private citizen in a second Trump term, it could pose a significant conflict of interest, ethics experts say, putting Kushner in the extraordinary position of conducting government-level negotiations with one of his major financial investors.While Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, have largely stayed away from Trump’s campaign events, they were present at the Republican National Convention in July, sitting and clapping in the family box behind Trump.
Swedish intelligence says Iran may have had role in Israeli embassy attacks in Nordics-There were explosions, gunfire near Israel’s embassies in Stockholm, Copenhagen this week; Sweden has previously accused Iran of recruiting criminals to attack Israeli targets-By Agencies Today, 7:22 pm
The Swedish intelligence agency Sapo said Thursday that Iran may have been involved in explosions and gunfire around Israeli embassies in Sweden and Denmark this week.In Denmark, police said they arrested three Swedish nationals on Wednesday after two blasts, likely caused by hand grenades, close to the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen.On Tuesday, the Israeli embassy in Stockholm was targeted in a shooting, according to Swedish police.Asked about reports of links to Iran, Fredrik Hallstrom, head of operations at the Sapo agency, told a press conference that “there are some things that could point in that direction.”“In part due to the choice of targets and modus operandi, but that is an assumption rather than pure knowledge,” Hallstrom said.In May, Sapo said that Iran was recruiting members of Swedish criminal gangs to commit “acts of violence” against Israeli and other interests in Sweden — a claim Iran denied.Swedish broadcaster SVT on Wednesday reported that it had received information that the two latest embassy attacks had been ordered by the Swedish criminal network Foxtrot — at the behest of Iran.Today, three men from Sweden were arrested after throwing hand grenades near the Israeli Embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark.Stay tuned.pic.twitter.com/DHOagpD4Ix— Steve Hanke (@steve_hanke) October 2, 2024-A Danish court on Thursday remanded two of the arrested Swedes — aged 16 and 19 — in custody for 27 days.Copenhagen police said that the third Swede, arrested near the crime scene, had been released.Thursday’s hearing was held behind closed doors after the preliminary charges were read. Reporting from inside the court room, Danish broadcaster DR said the teenagers, aged 16 and 19, are suspected of acting “in association and together with prior agreement with one or more perpetrators.”Both denied the charges, local media reported.The two suspects were arrested Wednesday shortly before noon on a train at Copenhagen’s central station. Danish media ran photos of a man in a white hazmat suit being taken away by police on a train platform at the station.In Denmark, the charges are one step short of formal charges and allow authorities to keep criminal suspects in custody during an investigation.The Danish domestic security service, known by its acronym PET, said that “Swedish authorities have assessed that at least one specific act directed at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm, which was carried out by young criminals in Sweden, has links to Iran.”In a statement, PET said, “if we have a state actor who gets young criminals to carry out actions aimed at Jewish targets in our neighboring country, then we can be concerned that this will also happen in Denmark.”Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, when Hamas stormed into Israeli, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, several incidents apparently targeting Israeli interests in Sweden have been reported.In February, police found a grenade on the grounds of the Israeli embassy compound, which the ambassador said was an attempted attack.In May, gunshots were fired outside the Israeli embassy, which prompted the country to boost security measures around Israeli interests and Jewish community institutions.
IDF says it killed Hamas de facto PM – Sinwar’s right-hand man – in strike 3 months ago-Military says Rawhi Mushtaha was killed along with top officials Sameh al-Siraj and Sami Odeh in a strike on a fortified underground compound for Hamas leaders-By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 5:42 pm-OCT 3,24
Senior Hamas official Rawhi Mushtaha, the de facto prime minister of the Gaza Strip, was killed in an Israeli strike several months ago, the IDF and Shin Bet said Thursday, announcing that they had confirmed his death.The IDF described Mushtaha as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s “right-hand man and one of his closest associates.” Channel 12 news reported that he was a long-time cellmate of Sinwar’s in Israeli prison, was freed with Sinwar in the 2011 Shalit deal, and was one of the five key architects of the October 7 Hamas invasion and slaughter in southern Israel.According to the military and Shin Bet, Mushtaha was targeted in a strike in the Gaza Strip three months ago, along with Hamas officials Sameh al-Siraj, who held the security portfolio in Hamas’s political bureau, and Sami Odeh, the head of Hamas’s “general security mechanism.”The strike, carried out by fighter jets, targeted the officials while they were hiding in a tunnel in the northern Gaza Strip. The IDF says it had “precise intelligence” indicating the officials were in the tunnel.But until now, they had not been able to confirm that they were killed.The military described the tunnel as “a fortified and equipped underground compound” that “served as a Hamas command and control center and enabled senior operatives to remain inside of it for extended periods of time.”Hamas has not confirmed the deaths of the senior officials. The IDF said that Hamas is hiding its losses “to prevent loss of morale and functioning of its terror operatives.”Mushtaha and Sinwar served a prison sentence together in an Israeli jail, and later together established Hamas’s general security mechanism, according to the IDF.“Mushtaha was considered to be the most senior figure in the Hamas political bureau in the Gaza Strip, and during the war maintained civil control of the Hamas regime, while simultaneously engaging in terror activity against Israel,” the military said.The IDF says he was also “one of Hamas’s most senior operatives, and had a direct impact on decisions relating to Hamas’s force deployment.”“Mushtaha was involved in military decisions while also acting as the head of Hamas civil governance in the Gaza Strip and holding the prisoners affairs portfolio. He also formerly held the finance portfolio,” the military added.Israel launched an assault on Hamas in the Gaza Strip following the October 7th massacre, when some 3,000 terrorists breached the border and killed some 1,200 people, most of them civilians.Israel’s campaign to destroy Hamas and return the hostages has seen the military target many of Hamas’s leaders including the shadowy head of their military wing Muhammad Deif and Rafa’a Salameh, the commander of Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade, in a strike in July.Deif’s deputy, Marwan Issa, was killed in an airstrike in March.Hamas’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated, allegedly by Israel, in Tehran in late July, and the terror group’s deputy political leader, Salah al-Arouri, was killed by Israel in an airstrike in Lebanon’s capital Beirut in January.Hamas leader Sinwar has been incommunicado for a relatively long time, and Israel has been investigating the possibility — currently unlikely speculation not backed by any hard evidence — that he is dead.More than half of Hamas’s military wing leadership in Gaza has been confirmed killed by the IDF so far amid the fighting.The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 40,000 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 more than 17,000 combatants in battle and another 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7. Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.
I stay awake all night wondering what will happen' Israel’s 68,000 evacuees mark the Jewish new year wondering when they will return home-In the year since the Oct. 7 massacre, near-daily attacks by Hezbollah have left the lives of displaced northern residents in limbo. And now the conflict is intensifying-By Deborah Danan Today, 4:04 pm-OCT 3,24
JTA — At this point, Gabi Hasin had grown used to fleeing his home ahead of missile fire from Lebanon. A resident of the northern border city of Kiryat Shmona, Hasin has spent the past year on the move, relocating seven times to keep himself and his family out of harm’s way.So when he packed his bags and moved south again over the past couple weeks — this time from the northern city of Tiberias to Jerusalem — it was the least of his problems. He’s taking sleeping pills for the first time in his life. Last month, his daughter was hospitalized with panic attacks because she was due to get married on the day thousands of Hezbollah operatives’ pagers exploded simultaneously in Lebanon.Now, for the first time in decades, he and his 10 siblings are apart for Rosh Hashanah, which began Wednesday evening.Every year, they all gather at their late parents’ home in Kiryat Shmona for the holiday, setting up a large makeshift tent to accommodate dozens of children and grandchildren. Instead, the 11 siblings are scattered across six cities. Hasin will be with his in-laws in Jerusalem.“It’s very depressing,” he said. “I don’t care about what’s going on in Jerusalem, Tiberias or anywhere else. My only concern is Kiryat Shmona. It’s a town, but it feels like a village and is the most family-oriented place there is. Everyone knows everyone there. When I walk down the street, I can’t stop saying hello.”Hasin is one of more than 68,000 Israelis, mostly from the north, who have lived as evacuees for nearly a year since Hamas launched its terror onslaught last October 7, butchering 1,200 people in southern Israel and kidnapping 251 to the Gaza Strip. Hezbollah began attacking Israel soon afterward, and that conflict has escalated into another front in the war, as Israel has pummeled Hezbollah leaders and infrastructure in Lebanon and the terror group and its sponsor, Iran, have shot hundreds of missiles at Israel.Many residents of the north hope that when the war is over, they will be able to again live in their houses and apartments. But for many who have been displaced over the past year, their only wish is to celebrate the holidays at home — a near-impossibility at a time when the conflict is only escalating.“I stay up all night thinking about the future, wondering what will happen, how we’ll return to Kiryat Shmona, and if my kids will ever come back. We would have been home ages ago if [the government] had done earlier what they’re doing the last two weeks in Lebanon,” said Hasin.No matter what happens in the war, Kiryat Shmona may not be able to return to the way things were. According to a poll conducted in June, 43 percent of the city’s approximately 30,000 residents are considering not returning to their homes, while 13% have already decided they will not go back.Other residents of the north are facing tough judgment calls ahead of the holiday. Shani Tzililm has spent much of the past week sheltering with her four kids in their home in the Haifa suburb of Kiryat Bialik from rockets fired by Iran and Hezbollah. Their city has not yet been evacuated. But this week, she won’t be celebrating Rosh Hashanah with her mother in the nearby city of Acre — because it’s 10 miles further north, and even more unsafe.Her mother’s home in the ancient mixed Arab-Jewish city lacks a safe room, and the nearest bomb shelter is in a school several minutes away. Tzililm’s apartment building, at least, has a bomb shelter, though, during a barrage of successive sirens on Sunday, she fell and tumbled down the stairs with her three-year-old in her arms.“I prefer to sit at home where I feel safer. But who knows anymore what’s safe?” Tzililm said. “I can’t cope with it anymore. My eight-year-old is full of anxiety, she cries all day. I’m scared to death myself. How much longer can we live like this? I pray every day for this war to end. I don’t care how, it needs to be over.”Daniel Ohana, a municipal coordinator for the thousands of evacuees living in hotels throughout Tel Aviv, said that his team conducted hotel visits ahead of the holiday to ensure that evacuees had everything they needed.“It’s difficult. We’ve moved a whole city — which has a certain culture and pace of life — to another city with an entirely different culture,” Ohana said. “But we’re trying to do everything we can to make sure we preserve a sense of community and family. Little gestures like pre-holiday toasts.”He emphasized that the work wasn’t only a one-way effort; evacuees from Kiryat Shmona were also volunteering to help by packing food parcels for needy Tel Aviv families.In Haifa’s Rambam Medical Center, Rosh Hashanah preparations were underway at the Sammy Ofer Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital — the world’s largest underground medical facility, built to remain functional during a rocket barrage.Now, the subterranean hospital has sprung into action: 600 patients were transferred there last week amid rocket fire, though around 200 ambulatory patients will be moved back to the regular hospital for the holiday, hospital spokesperson David Ratner told JTA on Monday.Rabbi Shmuel Turkov, director of Lev Chabad in Haifa, was organizing prayers and meals in cooperation with Rambam’s onsite rabbi. “People are concerned about how they will celebrate the holiday in the hospital. We’re making sure they will hear the shofar, and have a proper festive meal with all the simanim,” he said, referring to Rosh Hashanah foods symbolizing wishes for the new year.The widening war is affecting people throughout the country. Several nonprofits ramped up their activity this week to meet the sharp rise in demand for aid, addressing the new waves of needy people affected by the war, or what celebrity chef Jamie Geller referred to as the “new poor.” Geller is working with emergency relief organization Yad Ezra V’Shulamit.“We have so many new poor this holiday season. They were givers last year and now need to be on the receiving end of charitable donations and food rations,” Geller said.The organization had been asked by the Home Front Command to feed an extra 16,000 families impacted by the war, bringing the total up to 66,000 holiday food baskets.“There are wartorn widows and orphans who not only have to prepare for the first holiday season without their loved ones, they also have to be concerned about putting food on the table,” she said.Moshe Cohen, CEO of the nonprofit Chasdei Naomi, highlighted that the food baskets his organization would give out this year included extra staples and holiday-specific items because Rosh Hashanah immediately precedes Shabbat, extending the festival into a three-day holiday, a rarity in Israel. He also expressed gratitude for the many foreign volunteers, primarily from the US, who arrived to assist with packaging the increased number of food parcelsMeanwhile, in Kiryat Bialik, Tzililm, who earns minimum wage as a kindergarten assistant, received holiday food vouchers from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. This year, the group increased its annual holiday aid campaign allowance to $10 million, also extending its support beyond its usual roster of needy families to include those impacted by the war, including residents of border towns and displaced families, hostage families, survivors of the October 7 massacre and IDF reservists in financial need.But Tzililm said she wasn’t even sure she had the strength to cook the food she had been given.“I’ll be honest with you, I’m just not in the mood to make the holiday this year,” she said.In Jaffa, single mother Karina Zilbersher’s Rosh Hashanah plans were upended over the weekend when her only son, Liam, a soldier in the Israeli Air Defense Command, was deployed alongside approximately 10,000 other soldiers.With the growing threat of ballistic missiles and large-caliber rocket launches from Iran and its proxies like Hezbollah, soldiers in Liam’s unit, responsible for operating David’s Sling, an Israeli air-defense system, will be on duty throughout the holidays.“They’re the most needed soldiers right now, and I get that, but it’s still so frustrating,” Zilbersher said. “I have no other family in Israel. He’s all I have, and they took him.”
Israel rescues Yazidi woman from Gaza after her kidnapping by ISIS at age 11-Fawzia Amin Sido was sold by the terror group to a Gazan man in 2014; now 21, she has been reunited with her family in Iraq-By ToI Staff and Agencies Today, 4:16 pm-OCT 3,24
A Yazidi woman who was kidnapped from Iraq by ISIS in 2014 at the age of 11 and trafficked to the Gaza Strip has been rescued and reunited with her family.The rescue and return home of Fawzi Amin Sido was announced separately by the foreign ministries of Israel and Iraq.Israel’s foreign ministry said Sido was taken from her family in 2014 amid ISIS attacks on Yazidi communities in Iraq, as the terror organization known for its brutalities took control of vast swaths of the country. She was then sold off to a Gazan man who was visiting Iraq at the time. Israeli security forces recently extracted Sido and returned her home.In a later statement, the Israel Defense Forces, said that Sido was rescued in a complex operation in that was coordinated by the IDF’s COGAT and the US Embassy in Jerusalem, together with “other members of the international community.”The IDF said that the “terrorist who had been holding her” was recently killed, apparently in an Israeli strike during the fighting in Gaza, allowing her to flee to a hiding place in Gaza.“The young girl was extracted from the Gaza Strip in recent days in a secret operation through the Kerem Shalom crossing. After crossing into Israel, she was taken to Jordan via the Allenby Crossing and then on to her family in Iraq,” the IDF said.The military said the incident provided further proof of the “connection between the Hamas terror group and the Islamic State and further evidence of the crimes against humanity that the murderous terror group was carrying out in Gaza.”In a statement, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry said Sido had been released through joint efforts “in high coordination” with the US embassies in Baghdad and Amman along with Jordanian authorities. It made no mention of Israeli involvement.A US State Department spokesperson said the US on October 1 “helped to safely evacuate from Gaza a young Yazidi woman to be reunited with her family in Iraq.”The spokesperson said she was kidnapped from her home in Iraq at the age of 11 and sold and trafficked to Gaza. Her captor was recently killed, allowing her to escape and seek repatriation, the spokesperson said.Jewish philanthropist Steve Maman, dubbed by some as the “Jewish Schindler,” shared a video of her reuniting with her family Wednesday night, and alluded to his involvement in her release.“I made a promise to Fawzia the Yazidi who was hostage of Hamas in Gaza that I would bring her back home to her mother in Sinjar,” Maman wrote on X. “To her, it seemed surreal and impossible but not to me, my only enemy was time. Our team reunited her moments ago with her mother and family in Sinjar.”Fawzia, a Yazidi girl kidnapped by ISIS from Iraq and brought to Gaza at just 11 years old, has finally been rescued by the Israeli security forces.For years, she was held captive by a Palestinian Hamas-ISIS member.She has now been reunited with her family. Her story is a… pic.twitter.com/nkVotqYdov — David Saranga (@DavidSaranga) October 3, 2024-David Saranga, Director of the Foreign Ministry’s Digital Diplomacy Bureau, commented on her release, saying: “For years, she was held captive by a Palestinian Hamas-ISIS member. Her story is a reminder of the brutality faced by Yazidi children, taken without a choice.”The woman is a member of the ancient Yazidi religious minority mostly found in Iraq and Syria which saw more than 5,000 members killed and thousands more kidnapped in a 2014 campaign that the UN has said constituted genocide.The Yazidis are a Kurdish-speaking group hailing from northern Iraq.More than 6,000 Yazidis were captured by Islamic State terrorists from their native Sinjar region in Iraq in 2014, with many of the women and girls sold into sexual slavery and boys indoctrinated in jihadi ideology and trained as child soldiers and taken across borders, including to Turkey and Syria.Over the years, more than 3,500 have been rescued or freed, according to Iraqi authorities, with some 2,600 still missing.Many are feared dead but Yazidi activists say they believe hundreds are still alive.

InterviewBBC Arabic allegedly among most slanted global media outlets-BBC coverage of Hamas conflict ‘profoundly biased,’ says former pro-Iran commentator-Once a vocal supporter of the Islamic Republic, Catherine Perez-Shakdam recently stepped up to head We Believe In Israel – and now has Britain’s top broadcaster in her sights-By Robert Philpot-Today, 3:08 pm-OCT 3,24
LONDON — When Catherine Perez-Shakdam took the helm of Britain’s biggest grassroots pro-Israel campaign group this summer, she inherited a bulging inbox .Aside from the continuing domestic fallout from the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the UK’s new Labour government has made a string of decisions that have dismayed and infuriated large elements of the country’s Jewish community and supporters of Israel.Since taking the helm in July, Labour has restored funding for the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA; pulled out of a legal case opposing the International Criminal Court application for arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant; and partially suspended arms exports to Israel.Add to that the simmering controversy over the BBC’s coverage of the conflict between Hamas and Israel. It boiled over at the beginning of September with the release of a report finding the corporation had displayed a “deeply worrying pattern of bias” against the Jewish state, and had breached its own editorial guidelines more than 1,500 times in its reporting at the height of the Israel-Hamas war.But Perez-Shakdam is hardly a stranger to tough challenges. In March 2022, having written a series of blog posts for The Times of Israel, Perez-Shakdam revealed to the paper her incredible journey from pro-Tehran talking head to arch-critic of the Iranian regime.Born to Jewish parents in Paris whose own parents had fled Nazi persecution, Perez-Shakdam lived as a Muslim while studying in the UK after marrying a Muslim man from Yemen. She later spent years as a journalist and commentator in the Middle East and began appearing on Iranian state media. Increasingly trusted and valued by the regime, Perez-Shakdam was granted an audience with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei; interviewed the late Ebrahim Raisi during his initial, unsuccessful 2017 bid for the presidency (he would succeed in 2021 and serve as president until his death this year); and was invited to a pro-Palestinian conference in Tehran attended by Hamas terror chief Khaled Mashaal.However, thanks to her teenage daughter — who had come to embrace Zionist views — Perez-Shakdam began to question her own outlook and reconnect with her Jewish heritage.“For years, I was motivated by a kind of self-hate. But you realize that you can’t deny who you are,” Perez-Shakdam told The Times of Israel at the time.Perez-Shakdam’s journey was capped by her appointment last month as director of We Believe In Israel. She replaces Luke Akehurst, who was elected as a Labour MP in the July general election. The campaign group seeks to counter the well-organized pro-Palestinian lobby by mobilizing grassroots support for the Jewish state.For years, I was motivated by a kind of self-hate. But you realize that you can’t deny who you are.The group’s latest campaign has the BBC firmly in its crosshairs.The new report into the BBC led by British-Israeli lawyer Trevor Asserson says the public service broadcaster’s coverage associated Israel with war crimes, genocide, and international law violations far more often than it did Hamas. It claims that the BBC downplayed Hamas terrorism, and finds that the BBC’s Arabic service was among the most biased global media outlets in covering the Israel-Hamas conflict.Perhaps unsurprisingly, Perez isn’t one to pull her punches during an interview with The Times of Israel.“It’s appalling, it’s profoundly biased,” Perez-Shakdam says of the BBC coverage. “It is portraying Israel as this pariah state that has no right to self-defense, almost challenging its right to exist by characterizing Hamas’s action as that of a resistance group. For me, that is very devious, it’s very nefarious and it’s insidious.”“You have to pay for the BBC,” she says. “I think that they have an obligation to the British public to really inform them… and unfortunately, [that] hasn’t been the case.” (The BBC is funded by a license fee which all Britons with a television are legally obliged to pay.)-In Britain, she says, this approach has contributed to a surge in antisemitism and the fact that “anti-Zionism has become the new norm.” Perez-Shakdam is unapologetic about her approach. “People may disagree with me, but I think that we need to be quite strong,” she says. “After October 7, I don’t think that we can hide behind polite talk.”After October 7, I don’t think that we can hide behind polite talk-We Believe In Israel’s campaign — which attracted more than 2,000 emails to the BBC’s director-general, Tim Davie, within 48 hours of its launch — calls on the BBC to open an independent investigation into its handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. It also urges the BBC to “publicly recognize that the disinformation broadcast by the BBC has harmed Jewish communities and Israel,” and requires the broadcaster to set new standards to root out bias.Perez-Shakdam says her organization’s campaigning is not driven by hostility to the BBC, which is prevalent in the opposition Conservative party and its media allies, as well as on the far left. “It’s not a witch hunt. This is not an effort to bring down the BBC,” she says. “It’s just to elevate the level of journalism and to make sure that ethic [of impartiality] is at the forefront of it all.”The corporation itself has questioned the report’s methodology and Davie defended coverage when he appeared before the House of Lords’ Communications and Digital Committee this week.“Broadly, I think we are doing a very good job and the research that we have into the overall public response is good,” he told peers. “But that doesn’t mean we are perfect.” But, appearing alongside the director-general, the BBC’s chair, Samir Shah, indicated that he believed its coverage of the conflict between Israel and Hamas should be the subject of the next “thematic review” conducted by the BBC.Perez-Shakdam is dissatisfied with the broadcaster’s response so far.“The BBC has a lot of answering to do and I don’t think that it’s willing to do that; it [has] already doubled down,” she says. She believes the government may have to take action. “Taxpayers’ money is being used, through the vehicle of the TV license. The government needs to do something about it. This is not a case of free speech. It’s a case of holding the BBC accountable for a service that it is not providing in violation of its own [guidelines].”Perez-Shakdam returns often to the theme of “accountability.” There is a constant call from the media and international community for Israel to be held accountable for its behavior, she notes. It’s now time for others to be held accountable and take responsibility for theirs.Perez-Shakdam is angered by the government’s decision to restrict arms sales to Israel and accuses ministers of “abandoning” an ally of the UK in its hour of need. But she is also incensed by the timing of Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s critical statement on the topic, which came as Israelis were burying six hostages murdered by Hamas. “It is appalling. I have no words, no words at all,” she says.Perez-Shakdam dismisses Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s argument that the government was simply following the legal process. “This is… a very typical political answer,” she responds. “He’s trying to run away from accountability.”She accuses Labour of being motivated by a desire to “make a point.”“This is an issue when politicians are peddling not the interests of the country, but that of their base. I feel that it was a very political decision,” she says.Perez-Shakdam notes too that Labour’s decision was not made in a vacuum but followed swiftly on the heels of its decisions on UNRWA (the subject of another We Believe In Israel campaign) and the ICC arrest warrant bid. She believes the decisions collectively reflect pressure from within the Labour Party and calls for a “greater conversation” within the country about them.But Perez-Shakdam is also concerned that the threat posed by Israel’s enemies to Britain and other Western democracies is not well enough appreciated.“I wish that the government and the media were spending half of the time they spent on Israel, trying to cover Iran and raise public awareness,” she says. She believes the Islamic Republic operates a “very powerful underground lobby group” in the West “through a series of outposts.”Iran, she says, is “abusing and using our charity laws and NGOs.” She also accuses the regime’s supporters of “infiltrating… academia.” The result, she notes, is apparent in the anti-Israel protests on campuses in the UK and Western Europe, the US and Canada.Perez-Shakdam believes there’s too little focus on the military support Iran is providing to Russia in its invasion of Ukraine (although Britain, Germany, France and the US imposed new sanctions on Tehran in September after it transferred more than 200 ballistic missiles to Russia), as well as the “death squads” deployed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to target regime critics.As a high-profile supporter of Israel and staunch opponent of Tehran, how much does Perez-Shakdam worry about her own safety?“If you’re Jewish, the threat is there. The threat is real,” she responds. The plight of French Jews is much on her mind and serves as a warning: “In France, people are dying. People are being attacked. Synagogues are being targeted… How can I stay silent?” she says. “I think that we have a collective duty as Jews to care for each other and look after each other and defend each other.”Her assessment of the regime with which she once had close ties is scathing.“They don’t scare me because I know what they are,” Perez-Shakdam says. “They are bullies, they are fascists, they are the worst kind. I will fight them and I will denounce them at every corner, come what may.”Perez-Shakdam says she is inspired by the example of teenagers serving in the IDF. “If kids can fight for our freedom and our survival, then I will do that too with the tools that I have.”I will fight them and I will denounce them at every corner, come what may She is keenly aware that pro-Israel groups in Britain lack the impact of those opposed to the Jewish state. This isn’t simply a question of money, numbers or organization, but also the manner in which the pro-Palestinian lobby has “managed to weave a narrative by claiming to be the underdog and the great liberator of the world and to be standing for truth and freedom.” But, she says, anyone who knows anything about the grim existence of Palestinians under Hamas rule in Gaza knows there is “nothing liberating” about it.“I don’t think that they understand the reality of it. I don’t think they actually are doing anything for Palestinians,” Perez-Shakdam says.Her prescription is to trust in the good intentions of the public.“You have a lot of good people in good conscience who are making the most terrible decision on the basis of a lie,” Perez-Shakdam says. “We Believe is perfectly positioned to tell people the truth. If I make my case clear enough and well enough, then I believe that they will have no choice but to join us.”“Israel is defending freedom and Zionism is the biggest exercise in decolonization in modern-day history and we should treasure it,” she says. “We’re going to fix it. I have hope.”
