GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,(7X OR 7-DEGREES HOTTER) as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people,(ISRAEL) and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

EZEKIEL 32:6-9
6  I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
7  And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8  All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9  I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

REVELATION 16:3-7
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator and baby murderers by abortion) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

2 Peter 3:6-7 Amplified Bible (AMP) (HOT SUN, NUKES ETC)
6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

Hurricane Milton disrupts Yom Kippur plans for Florida Jews-Most rabbis and congregants heed evacuation orders, taking synagogues’ Torah scrolls with them; Chabad of Southwest Florida opts to stay open, serving as shelter for the displaced-By MARIAM FAM, GIOVANNA DELL'ORTO and holly meyer Today, 7:40 pm-OCT 10,24

WINTER PARK, Florida (AP) — Many Jews worldwide will mark Yom Kippur in fasting and prayer at their synagogues this weekend.But for the faithful in Florida, destructive Hurricane Milton has disrupted plans for observing the Day of Atonement — the holiest day of the year in the Jewish faith — that begins Friday evening and caps off the High Holy Days that began with Rosh Hashana on October 2.Across the storm-threatened areas, rabbis and their congregants spent part of the Days of Awe — the span between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur — protecting their homes and synagogues as Milton churned off the coast, spiraling into a Category 5 storm. Many — though not all — evacuated, heeding the voluntary and mandatory orders, and found safekeeping for their synagogues’ Torah scrolls and themselves.Milton hit Florida’s Gulf Coast on Wednesday as a Category 3 cyclone, with damaging winds, heavy rains and tornadoes. By Thursday, the storm has moved eastward into the Atlantic Ocean.Why this Chabad rabbi decided against evacuating before the storm-Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz evacuated most of his family ahead of the storm, but chose to ride it out with his son, also a rabbi, at Chabad Lubavitch of Southwest Florida near Fort Myers. The center is hosting people displaced by the storm, including doctors, first responders and elderly who cannot evacuate.It’s important to be “with the people and for the people,” and provide emotional and spiritual support, he said as the storm approached.Near midnight Thursday, the Chabad center and the rest of the neighborhood lost power, said Minkowicz, making them among the millions without it. The center was spared from the storm surge, but homes and other buildings in the area were not, he said.“Our pressing need is for power so that we can help our community & hold Yom Kippur services,” Minkowicz told The Associated Press via email Thursday. “We’re praying for this to be resolved asap.”The center planned to host Yom Kippur observances regardless of the storm. He said it was similar two years ago, when the holy day followed the major hurricane, Ian.“Yom Kippur is a day that you open up your soul to God and you totally connect with God,” Minkowicz said. “When you go through a hurricane, anything materialistic is not important. They’re already in that zone where they’re totally focused on God.”Milton disrupts Yom Kippur and October 7 commemoration-Like most of her congregants, Rabbi Nicole Luna had evacuated after helping secure Temple Beth El in Fort Myers and entrusting several Torah scrolls to congregants should the threatened surge devastate the synagogue.While the congregation braved Hurricanes Irma in 2017 and Ian in 2022, Milton’s timing hit especially hard, having already forced the postponement of a community-wide commemoration of Hamas attacking Israel on October 7, 2023. The Gaza war that followed is ongoing.“It just feels like too much for our hearts to carry right now,” Luna said from Miami ahead of the storm. “It’s all very heavy.”Should the damage be less catastrophic than expected and the roads passable, she hoped to hold a small in-person gathering on Yom Kippur on Saturday, when the holy day ends at sundown. If the power is on and it’s safe to return, she also might do a streamed service from the synagogue Friday evening.Luna said she is grateful for the “big outpouring of support” she received from fellow rabbis across the East Coast of Florida, who were opening their temples for the holidays to evacuees and have emphasized they can come as they are since few grabbed “holiday-appropriate clothing” in the rush to escape Milton’s fury.For the first time in its history, barrier island synagogue skips holding Yom Kippur services-Hundreds of Jewish families on Longboat Key, a barrier island off Sarasota Bay, won’t be able to observe Yom Kippur in their synagogue for the very first time in their 45-year history, said Shepard Englander, CEO of The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee.Access to the island, specifically the John Ringling Causeway, was closed ahead of the storm. The congregation decided it wasn’t worth risking Milton’s might for Day of Atonement services. They had celebrated Rosh Hashanah in their building despite a number of nearby homes being damaged by Hurricane Helene, which made landfall last month.Englander said he and his family evacuated from their home on a riverbank outside Sarasota and were hunkered down at a friend’s home inland. From there, he was trying to make sure community members from Longboat Key and other temples that won’t have services can say their prayers and break their daylong Yom Kippur fast at a newly constructed conference center in Sarasota with food items like blintzes, bagels, cream cheese and smoked salmon.Ahead of the storm, people were scattered in the region at emergency shelters or staying with family or friends, Englander said“It’s in difficult times that you really understand the power of community,” he said. “And this is a caring, tight-knit, generous Jewish community.”

U.S. News-Although Milton has moved on, at least 6 (10) are dead and millions remain in the dark-By  JULIO CORTEZ, KATE PAYNE and HAVEN DALEY-Updated 7:07 PM EDT, October 10, 2024

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Rescue teams plucked Florida residents from the flotsam of Hurricane Milton on Thursday after the storm smashed through coastal communities where it tore homes into pieces, filled streets with mud and spawned a barrage of deadly tornadoes. At least six people were dead.Arriving just two weeks after the misery wrought by Hurricane Helene, the system also knocked out power to more than 3 million customers, flooded barrier islands, tore the roof off a baseball stadium and toppled a construction crane.Among the most dramatic rescues, Hillsborough County officers found a a 14-year-old boy floating on a piece of fence and pulled him onto a boat. A Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued a man who was left clinging to an ice chest in the Gulf of Mexico after his fishing boat was stranded in waters roiled by Hurricane Milton. The agency estimated the man had survived winds of 75 to 90 mph (121 to 145 kph) and waves up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) high during his night on the water.“This man survived in a nightmare scenario for even the most experienced mariner,” Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Dana Grady said.Despite the destruction, many people expressed relief that Milton wasn’t worse. The hurricane spared Tampa a direct hit, and the lethal storm surge that scientists feared never materialized.Here’s what has made Hurricane Milton so fierce and unusual-The storm tracked to the south in the final hours and made landfall late Wednesday as a Category 3 hurricane in Siesta Key, about 70 miles (112 kilometers) south of Tampa. Damage was widespread, and water levels may continue to rise for days, but Gov. Ron DeSantis said it was not “the worst-case scenario.”“You face two hurricanes in a couple of weeks — not easy to go through — but I’ve seen a lot of resilience throughout this state,” the governor told a briefing in Sarasota. He said he was “very confident that this area is going to bounce back very, very quickly.”Five people were killed in tornadoes in the Spanish Lakes Country Club near Fort Pierce, on Florida’s Atlantic Coast, where homes were destroyed, authorities said. Police also found a woman dead under a fallen tree branch.Speaking at a White House briefing, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said there were reports of as many as 10 fatalities from tornadoes, but he cautioned that the number was tentative.At least 340 individuals and 49 pets have been rescued in ongoing efforts, DeSantis said Thursday afternoon.South of Tampa, Natasha Shannon and her husband, Terry, felt lucky to be alive after the hurricane peeled the tin roof off their cinder block home in Palmetto. They spent the night in a shelter with their three children and two grandchildren after she pushed them to leave.“I said, ‘Baby, we got to go. Because we’re not going to survive this,’” she said.They returned to find the roof torn into sheets across the street, shredded insulation hanging from exposed ceiling beams and their belongings soaked.“It ain’t much but it was ours,” she said. “What little bit we did have is gone.”The worst storm surge appeared to be in Sarasota County, where it was 8 to 10 feet (2.5 to 3 meters) — lower than in the worst place during Helene. The storm also dumped up to 18 inches (45 centimeters) of rain in some areas.Officials in the hard-hit Florida counties of Hillsborough, Pinellas, Sarasota and Lee urged people to stay home, warning of downed power lines, trees in roads, blocked bridges and flooding.Among the dozens of tornadoes was a twister that hit the tiny barrier island of Matlacha, just off Fort Myers. The fishing-and-tourism village also endured a surge, with many of the colorful buildings sustaining serious damage. Tom Reynolds, 90, spent the morning sweeping out 4 feet of mud and water and collecting chunks of aluminum siding torn off by a twister that also picked up a car and threw it across the road.Elsewhere on the island, a house was blown into a street, temporarily blocking it. Some structures caught fire. Reynolds said he planned to repair the home he built three decades ago.“What else am I going to do?” he said.In contrast, city workers on Anna Maria Island were grateful not to be wading through floodwaters as they picked up debris Thursday morning, two weeks after Helene battered buildings and blew in piles of sand up to 6 feet (1.8 m) high. Those piles may have helped shield homes from further damage, said Jeremi Roberts of the State Emergency Response Team.“I’m shocked it’s not more,” city worker Kati Sands said as she cleared the streets of siding and broken lights. “We lost so much with Helene, there wasn’t much left.”Helene flooded streets and homes in western Florida and left at least 230 people dead across the South. In many places along the coast, municipalities raced to collect and dispose of debris before Milton’s winds and storm surge could toss it around and compound any damage.Power was knocked out across much of the state. More than 3.4 million homes and businesses were without electricity, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks utility reports.Houses lie in ruins after sustaining tornado and flood damage from Hurricane Milton, Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024, in Matlacha, Fla. (AP Photo/Marta Lavandier)-The fabric that serves as the roof of Tropicana Field — home of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team in St. Petersburg — was ripped to shreds by fierce winds. Debris littered the field.About 80,000 people spent the night in shelters, and thousands of others fled after authorities issued mandatory evacuation orders across 15 Florida counties with a total population of about 7.2 million people.In Punta Gorda, a 10-foot surge from the Peace River swept into the historic district, damaging homes and depositing six boats along one riverside street. It was the third surge to hit the neighborhood in three months.Josh Baldwin said he was leaning toward scrapping his 38-foot boat rather than pay $100,000 to fix it. He couldn’t get insurance because it was moored in Punta Gorda.“They don’t like to pay out, and this place always gets ruined in hurricanes,” he said.A half-block away, information technology workers Kent and Cathy Taylor and their son were using an SUV attached to a chain to pull waterlogged drywall out of the bottom floor of their three-story home, which they bought in July. The lower level is gutted, but the upper floors are still structurally sound.“It will be beautiful again — it’s just a nick,” Cathy Taylor said.By Thursday afternoon, Milton was headed into the Atlantic Ocean as a post-tropical cyclone with winds of 75 mph (120 kph) — just barely hurricane force.Crossing the bridge from the mainland to Anna Maria Island early Thursday, Police Chief John Cosby breathed a sigh of relief. Nearly all residents had evacuated. There were no injuries or deaths, and the projected storm surge never happened. After fearing that his police department would be underwater, it remained dry.“It’s nice to have a place to come back to,” he said.___This version removes an erroneous reference to 150 tornadoes.

Florida Gov. Ron -DeSantis gives update on recovery updates after Hurricane Milton-Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gave an update on Hurricane Milton Thursday afternoon after it made landfall the night before as a Category 3 Storm.By Thursday afternoon, the governor said, at least 340 individuals and 49 pets had been rescued. Florida National Guard, Florida law enforcement, and urban search and rescue teams were continuing to work through the day. Hundreds of rescuers were engaged in more than 125 missions in 26 counties.“The northern side of the storm had a lot of precipitation. They were just getting water dumped on them. So, whereas [Hurricane] Helene created a lot of storm surge in that part of the state, this one didn’t do that here, but it create inland flooding,” DeSantis said.Around 4 million were left without power. As of the 3 p.m. update, around 880,000 had been restored, with 3.2 million accounts still without power.DeSantis said that while Hurricane Milton did inflict damage, “I think in some areas that in terms of what was being predicted, some of the worst case scenarios did not come to pass, certainly in terms of some of the storm surge people were predicting.”Hurricane Milton has exited Florida’s east coast, but major flooding continues along Hillsborough, Saint John’s and the Little rivers. Water levels are forecasted to continue rising.“Residents in these areas should continue to shelter in place until officials deem it safe to go outside,” Florida Emergency Management Kevin Guthrie said.Gov. DeSantis warned people against taking advantage of a dire situation.“I’m warning you, don’t do that. If you loot, you will be held accountable. If you’re doing things that violate the law, if you’re gonna try to take advantage of vulnerable people, we’re going to throw the book at you,” DeSantis said.  “We even had some jackass, chain a dog to a pole. As the storm was coming Florida Highway Patrol rescued the dog.”

'This is something that people are seeking and need' One year after Oct. 7, a Yom Kippur ritual of communal mourning takes on fresh meaning-Leaders try to find ways to ritualize grief, with some putting out supplements to the usual prayers that focus on the tragedy and 12 months of conflict with no end in sight-By Andrew Silow-Carroll Today, 2:23 am-OCT 11,24

JTA — In 2001, Yom Kippur fell on September 26, two weeks after the terror attacks that brought down the World Trade Center. By then, the major denominations had already written special prayers to be said during Yizkor, a prayer service in memory of the dead. The Reform movement posted a prayer in the style of the liturgy said for Jewish “martyrs” and Holocaust victims during the traditional service. “Remember all those who were lost in the terror of that day,” it read. “Grant their families peace and comfort for Your name’s sake.”Yom Kippur begins this year on October 11, four days after the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas massacre in Israel, and once again rabbis and liturgists are trying to find ways to ritualize raw communal grief on the holy day. A number of groups have put out supplements to the High Holiday prayer book, known as the mahzor, containing reflections, prayers and whole services addressing the mourning and anguish around the day and subsequent 12 months of a crisis that shows few signs of fading.The entire cycle of this year’s High Holidays is haunted by October 7, especially Simhat Torah, the season’s climax: Hamas breached Israel’s southern fence on the holiday last year, and congregations have been struggling with how to celebrate what is supposed to be a joyous holiday on what is essentially the yahrzeit, or death anniversary, of some 1,200 victims of the attack and the anniversary of the abduction of 251.But Yom Kippur too presents challenges after a traumatic year for Jews. The Yizkor service, said during various holidays throughout the year, is often seen as an opportunity for people to commune personally with their own close losses: a parent, a spouse, a child. How do you balance the personal nature of what is supposed to be a day of introspection with the communal grief over a devastating attack?Rabbi Karen Reiss Medwed said she had that balance — others might say contradiction — in mind when she wrote a “Yizkor for the Victims Of October 7th” for the Conservative movement.“You never want to overshadow and make people feel like their personal loss is not being measured in the context of the communal struggles we have,” said Reiss Medwed, a teaching professor emerita of Northeastern University. And yet Yizkor, she added, “is not a static experience. It transforms itself over your lifetime and across your losses. And it can go from being anything from intensely dramatic and challenging to something that is a sweet opportunity to lovingly recall grandparents who passed at a ripe old age.”Her five-page service includes a call-and-response catalog of victims of October 7 — including “peace-loving youngsters” and “foreign workers” — that echoes the “Eleh Ezkerah,” or Martyrology, recited on Yom Kippur. There is a recitation of the kibbutzim and villages that were attacked and an adaptation of the traditional “El Maleh Rachamim” memorial prayer that refers to those who “were cruelly slaughtered on that fateful Simchat Torah.”Rabbi Joel Pitkowsky of Congregation Beth Sholom in Teaneck, New Jersey (where, full disclosure, I am a member), said he will use parts of Reiss Medwed’s liturgy on Yom Kippur. Pitkowsky also saw a challenge in observing Yom Kippur as a day of personal introspection and repentance,  and acknowledging “where we are as a Jewish people right now.”“How do I focus on making myself a better person — all of that work that goes into Yom Kippur,” he said, “and how do I hold on to the incredible, powerful, meaningful and unbelievably sad place where we find ourselves in Jewish history?”The answer, he suggested, is found in the traditional Yom Kippur liturgy itself, where even personal sins are confessed in the plural, and historical tragedies are recalled in the Martyrology. “Judaism embraces the creative tension between the individual and the group,” he said.Rabbi Naomi Levy, who wrote a Yizkor meditation for October 7, doesn’t see balancing personal mourning and communal grief over the attacks and the war as a “challenge.”“It’s a responsibility,” said Levy, who leads the independent Nashuva congregation in Los Angeles. Mourning October 7 “is something people are seeking and need.”Services at Nashuva will include private time for worshipers to remember a loved one, followed by prayers for the victims of October 7.The prayer she wrote asks God to remember the victims, and to give strength to those who mourn them. “God of the broken-hearted, God of the living, God of the dead, send comfort and strength to the grieving, send hope to the children, send healing to Israel,” it reads.Other supplements written for the first Yom Kippur Yizkor since the attacks hit similar notes, with perhaps different emphasis. Binyamin Holzman’s prayer for the Shalom Hartman Institute’s Ritual Center includes a reference to the biblical character Job, who prayed that the earth would not “cover his blood” and let the injustice of his suffering be forgotten. In a supplement from Svivah, the Jewish women’s empowerment group, Rabbi Melanie Levav writes that Yizkor is necessary because it gives words for mourning a tragedy like October 7 for which “there are no words.”At Beth David, a Reform congregation in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, a Yom Kippur afternoon “Yizkor/Memorial Service for 10/7 Victims” will “shift from personal mourning to our communal mourning.”And some groups will take the rituals of Yizkor to mark October 7 to make a pointed political statement. A coalition of left-wing Jewish groups deeply critical of Israel’s prosecution of the war in Gaza — including Rabbis for Ceasefire, IfNotNow, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice and the anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace — are holding “a mass public ritual of remembrance, refusal, and recommitment” in Brooklyn on Yom Kippur. “This Yom Kippur, let us turn our most holy of holy days into a mass mourning and collective atonement,” reads the announcement of the event, called “Yizkor.”Such politicization of Yizkor will be rare in United States synagogues, however. Rabbi Joel Levenson of Midway Jewish Center in Syosset, Long Island, is typical of many rabbis when he said he doesn’t think his congregants are coming to Yom Kippur services “for the political analysis.”“As a rabbi I am looking to lead and speak to a congregation of 1,500 and illuminate the power of Torah, which has spoken to our people over our centuries,” he said.Levenson is adding an innovation to remember October 7: Yizkor is also said on Shemini Atzeret, the penultimate holiday in the High Holiday cycle, and one that coincides with the celebration in Israel of Simchat Torah. Levenson said his synagogue will hold a special Yizkor service on the evening before, to emphasize the discord between the usually joyous holiday and the massacres that took place on it in 2023.“That evening of Shemini Atzeret will be a space for traditional prayers of Yizkor, but more truly dedicated to a space within a ritual framework to remember and honor those who lost their lives,” he said.And for his congregation, the anniversary is both communal and personal: Omer Neutra, who was taken hostage on October 7 while serving as a tank commander near Gaza, grew up in the synagogue starting in preschool.

Archaeology-The taxman cometh: Jerusalem dig shows tribute system after biblical revolt against Assyria-Remains of buildings and a collection of stamped jar handles for the first time offer clues to how agricultural produce in the Jerusalem area was distributed to the empire-By Gavriel Fiske-10 October 2024, 4:12 pm

The Assyrian Empire’s siege of Jerusalem in 701 BCE is mentioned in the Bible, in Assyrian records and later, by ancient historians such as Herodotus. By scholarly consensus, the siege is one of the most well-known biblical episodes and is considered to have definitely, historically occurred.As part of unifying the empire under its new ruler King Sennacherib, the Assyrians moved to quash rebellions by states in the region, including the Kingdom of Judah then ruled by King Hezekiah. According to the biblical account, the Assyrians ravaged the country surrounding Jerusalem and laid siege to the city, but his army was disrupted by a plague that caused thousands of deaths among his troops.Both the Bible and Assyrian records agree that the Assyrians did not conquer Jerusalem. They returned home after Hezekiah agreed to continue to pay tribute to the empire while maintaining nominal independence.Now, recent excavations near the Jerusalem neighborhood of Arnona have shown, for the first time, clues to how the Assyrian campaign impacted the economy in the Jerusalem area and how these Judean tributes were organized, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) said Wednesday.The dig was undertaken ahead of the construction of Mordot Arnona, a new neighborhood in southern Jerusalem being built near Kibbutz Ramat Rachel. The excavation revealed two large 8th-century BCE agricultural administrative buildings, one destroyed and the other built on its ruins shortly after, along with 180 ceramic jar handles engraved with Hebrew inscriptions indicating ownership of the contents.“We discovered remains of a significant royal administrative center from the days of King Hezekiah, and perhaps even from the reign of his father, King Ahaz,” excavation directors Neria Sapir, Natan Ben-Ari and Benyamin Storchan said in an IAA statement.This center “functioned in the last third of the 8th century BCE but was destroyed down to its foundations and buried under a massive heap of stones,” the archaeologists said. “The stone pile formed a platform upon which a subsequent structure was erected… Large building stones originating from the early structure were deliberately incorporated into the heap.”The destruction of the first and the subsequent construction of the second is interpreted “as a statement by the Assyrian imperial government intended to convey a political-diplomatic message to the surrounding region and make it clear ‘who is really in charge’ by overhauling the administrative structure and its function,” the archaeologists said.“As the Assyrians were still interested in the agricultural produce and taxes Judah could provide, they did allow for the existence of an independent Judahite administration… but intensified its heavy economic demands,” the archaeologists said.Both structures were “monumental public buildings” that were used to consolidate agricultural production in the area before it was sent to Jerusalem or elsewhere, and the inscribed jar handles offer a clue as to how this agricultural production was reorganized after the rebellion, Ben-Ari, a PhD student at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, told The Times of Israel.In total, 180 handles were discovered, most of them engraved with a stamp saying “Belonging to the king.” This was common practice at the time, as the Kingdom of Judah administered the “concentration and management of the agricultural produce farmers used to pay taxes to the kingdom,” produce that was “transported and delivered in large ceramic storage jars,” the IAA said.However, 17 of the handles were inscribed with individual names such as Menachem Yubna, Peqach Tavra and Tzophen Azaryahu. These kinds of handles were only found in the early building that was destroyed by the Assyrians, Ben-Ari explained.It’s likely that the disappearance of the handles with private names is “connected to the rebellion” and the “redistribution of agriculture” that occurred after, he said.These “private stamp impressions” were probably part of an administrative system that operated before the Assyrian military campaign, “as part of the Kingdom of Judah’s preparations, led by King Hezekiah, to rebel against Assyria, at which time taxation to the Assyrian Empire ceased,” the archaeologists explained.After the rebellion, the private impressions disappeared and the general jug handle impressions “differ from the earlier types and mark the return of Assyrian taxation” after the campaign, they said.“The amount of these handles and the names are important, it seems they were government officials or administrators in senior positions” who were receiving some of the agricultural production, likely olive oil or wine, which was then diverted to the Assyrians after the invasion, Ben-Ari said.The jug handles are currently on display to the public at the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel, the IAA’s newly opened headquarters in Jerusalem.The latest findings are connected to other recent work in the area, including in Ramat Rachel, Arnona and Armon Hanatziv, which “has changed the archaeological picture” of the region by giving deeper insights into how “the Judean Kingdom controlled the area and the redistribution of products,” Ben-Ari noted.King Hezekiah ruled the Kingdom of Judah from around 716 to 687 BCE and is said to have witnessed, in 722 BCE, the Assyrian Empire’s conquest of the northern Kingdom of Israel and subsequent consolidation of the empire’s control of the region.  At the time, the Assyrians were a major empire, the equivalent of a superpower that controlled areas from what is now Iran to Egypt. The Kingdom of Judah was one of several much smaller states that paid tribute to the empire in exchange for autonomy.Portrayed as a righteous religious reformer in the Bible, Hezekiah, after joining regional efforts to contest Assyrian control after a regime change in the empire, stopped paying the required tribute and then faced an invasion. Several archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem, especially the Broad Wall, or Hezekiah’s Wall, have been understood as part of the king’s preparations for an Assyrian siege, although recent research has called into question the chronology of the wall’s construction.In 2021, a team of Israeli and US researchers published an investigation into the Assyrian siege and destruction of Lachish, which also took place in 701 BCE during the conflict. Lachish at the time was the second-largest city in Judah. The efficient Assyrian army constructed a huge stone siege ramp to access the fortified hilltop city and breached the gate in just a few weeks, the researchers said.

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.

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.

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:

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:

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.

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.

20 They will fall among those slain by the sword. The sword is appointed! Let them drag her away along with all her multitudes.

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.

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.

Gulf countries lobbying US to prevent Israeli strike on Iran’s oil facilities-Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar refusing to let Jerusalem use their airspace for response to Tehran’s ballistic missile attack, fearing Iran could take aim at their own energy sites-By Samia Nakhoul, Parisa Hafezi and Pesha Magid Today, 5:32 pm-OCT 10,24

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (Reuters) — Gulf states are lobbying Washington to stop Israel from attacking Iran’s oil sites because they are concerned their own oil facilities could come under fire from Tehran’s proxies if the conflict escalates, three Gulf sources told Reuters.As part of their attempts to avoid being caught in the crossfire, Gulf states including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar are also refusing to let Israel fly over their airspace for any attack on Iran and have conveyed this to Washington, the three sources close to government circles said.Israel has promised Iran will pay for its ballistic missile attack last week while Tehran has said any retaliation would be met with vast destruction, raising fears of a wider war in the region that could suck in the United States.The moves by the Gulf states come after a diplomatic push by non-Arab Shiite Iran to persuade its Sunni Gulf neighbors to use their influence with Washington amid rising concerns Israel could target Iran’s oil production facilities.During meetings this week, Iran warned Saudi Arabia it could not guarantee the safety of the Gulf kingdom’s oil facilities if Israel were given any assistance in carrying out an attack, a senior Iranian official and an Iranian diplomat told Reuters.Ali Shihabi, a Saudi analyst close to the Saudi royal court, said: “The Iranians have stated: ‘If the Gulf states open up their airspace to Israel, that would be an act of war.'”The diplomat said Tehran had sent a clear message to Riyadh that its allies in countries such as Iraq or Yemen might respond if there was any regional support for Israel against Iran.A potential Israeli strike was the focus of talks on Wednesday between Saudi de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who was on a Gulf tour to rally support, Gulf and Iranian sources said.The Iranian minister’s visit, along with Saudi-American communications at the defense ministry level, are part of a coordinated effort to address the crisis, a Gulf source close to government circles told Reuters.A person in Washington familiar with the discussions confirmed that Gulf officials had been in touch with US counterparts to express concern about the potential scope of Israel’s expected retaliation.The White House declined to comment when asked whether Gulf governments had asked Washington to ensure Israel’s response was measured. US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Wednesday about the Israeli retaliation in a call both sides described as positive.Jonathan Panikoff, former deputy US national intelligence officer on the Middle East and now at the Atlantic Council think  tank in Washington said: “Gulf states’ anxiety is likely to be a key talking point with Israeli counterparts in trying to convince Israel to undertake a carefully calibrated response.”Oil at risk-The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, which is de facto led by Saudi Arabia, has enough spare oil capacity to make up for any loss of Iranian supply if an Israeli retaliation knocked out some of the country’s facilities.But much of that spare capacity is in the Gulf region so if oil facilities in Saudi Arabia or the UAE, for example, were targeted too, the world could face an oil supply problem.Saudi Arabia has been wary of an Iranian strike on its oil plants since a 2019 attack on its Aramco oilfield shut down over 5 percent of global oil supply. Iran denied involvement.Riyadh has had a rapprochement with Tehran in recent years, but trust remains an issue. Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE all host US military facilities or troops.Concerns over oil facilities and the potential for a wider regional conflict were also central to talks between Emirati officials and their US counterparts, said another Gulf source.In 2022, the Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen fired missiles and drones at oil refueling trucks near an oil refinery owned by UAE’s state oil firm ADNOC and claimed the attack.“The Gulf states aren’t letting Israel use their airspace. They won’t allow Israeli missiles to pass through, and there’s also a hope that they won’t strike the oil facilities,” the Gulf source said.The three Gulf sources emphasized that Israel could route strikes through Jordan or Iraq, but using Saudi, UAE, or Qatari airspace was off the table and strategically unnecessary.Analysts also pointed out that Israel has other options, including mid-air refueling capabilities that would enable its jets to fly down the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean, proceed to the Gulf, and then fly back.‘Middle of a missile war’According to two senior Israeli officials, Israel is going to calibrate its response and, as of Wednesday, it had not yet decided whether it would strike Iran’s oilfields.The option was one of a number presented by the defense establishment to Israeli leaders, according to the officials.Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Wednesday: “Our strike will be lethal, precise, and above all — surprising. They will not understand what happened and how it happened. They will see the results.”The three Gulf sources stated that Saudi Arabia, as a leading oil exporter along with oil-producing neighbors — the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain — had keen a interest in de-escalating the situation.“We will be in the middle of a missile war. There is serious concern, especially if the Israeli strike targets Iran’s oil installations,” a second Gulf source said.The three Gulf sources said an Israeli strike on Iran’s oil infrastructure would have a global impact, particularly for China — Iran’s top oil customer — as well as for Kamala Harris ahead of the November 5 presidential election in which she is running against Donald Trump.“If oil prices surge to $120 per barrel, it would harm both the US economy and Harris’s chances in the election. So they (Americans) won’t allow the oil war to expand,” the first Gulf source said.Gulf sources said safeguarding all oil installations remained a challenge, despite having advanced missile and Patriot defense systems, so the primary approach remained diplomatic: signaling to Iran that Gulf states pose no threat.Bernard Haykel, professor of Near East Studies at Princeton University, noted that Riyadh was vulnerable “because the Iranians can swarm those installations given the short distance from the mainland.”

Iran-backed Houthis attack chemical tanker in Red Sea; no injuries or fire reported-Yemen rebels claim they fired multiple ballistic missiles at Liberian-flagged Olympic Spirit; one projectile hits ship, causing some damage, as at least three more fall into water-By AP Today, 11:42 pm-OCT 10,24

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Yemen’s Houthi rebels attacked a Liberian-flagged chemical tanker on Thursday in the Red Sea, authorities said.The attack comes as the rebels continue to threaten ships moving through the Red Sea, a waterway that once saw $1 trillion in goods move through it a year, over the ongoing conflicts in the Mideast stemming from the Gaza war, which began when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.The Olympic Spirit tanker in the Red Sea had been skirting the coast of East Africa when it found itself struck first by a projectile that damaged the vessel, but sparked no fire and caused no injuries, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said.At least three more projectiles later fell in the waters around the vessel, which was a distance away from Hodeida, the Houthi-controlled port from which many of the rebels’ attacks have been launched.Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, a Houthi military spokesman, claimed the attack on the Olympic Spirit in a prerecorded video message aired Thursday night. He claimed the rebels launched multiple ballistic missiles targeting the tanker.The Houthis have targeted more than 80 merchant vessels with missiles and drones since the war in Gaza started with Hamas’s attack last October. They seized one vessel and sank two in the campaign that 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 as well. #Yemen @UK_MTO reports that #Houthis targeted the Chemical Tanker Olympic Spirit, en route from Egypt's Port Said to Muscat, Oman, with an unidentified projectile. Three projectiles missed the vessel. No claims from @army21ye. https://t.co/dlSPRZtkex pic.twitter.com/J1W2VbNzaq — Basha باشا (@BashaReport) October 10, 2024-The rebels maintain that they target ships linked to Israel, the United States, or the United Kingdom to force an end to Israel’s campaign against the Hamas terror group in Gaza. However, many of the ships attacked have little or no connection to the conflict, including some bound for Iran.The Houthis also continue to launch missiles targeting Israel, drawing retaliatory airstrikes from the Israelis late last month that targeted Houthi infrastructure in western Yemen.In Thursday’s attack, the private security firm Ambrey said it “assessed the vessel to have a strong affiliation with the Houthi targeting profile,” without elaborating.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

‘Serve the nation, kill a Jew’ graffitied on prominent Buenos Aires monument-Antisemitic slogan, which has long history on Argentina’s far right, written on monument to independence hero Simon Bolivar days after Oct. 7 anniversary-By Juan Melamed Today, 9:36 pm-OCT 10,24

JTA — An antisemitic slogan with a long history in Argentina was discovered graffitied onto a monument in a Buenos Aires park on Wednesday, unnerving local Jews.The graffiti, reading “Serve the nation, kill a Jew,” was inked onto a column of a monument to Simon Bolivar, historically considered “the Liberator” of South America, in Parque Rivadavia in the Argentine capital. A Jewish star stood in for the final word of the slogan.Argentina’s leading Jewish organization, known as DAIA, filed an official complaint, and the municipality swiftly cleaned up the graffiti in the afternoon, shortly after it was discovered.DAIA condemned the “serious antisemitic graffiti” and said it was one of more than 500 antisemitic incidents the organization had recorded this year, amid a spike following Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.Argentina has a Jewish population of nearly 200,000, the largest in Latin America. The vast majority live in the Buenos Aires area.“Today Parque Rivadavia woke up like this,” Federico Ballan, the president of the district that includes the park, wrote on social media as he shared a picture of the graffiti.La DAIA manifiesta su preocupación frente a la aparición de una grave pintada antisemita en el monumento a Simón Bolivar, ubicado en el Parque Rivadavia de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.La entidad presentó la denuncia en el Ministerio Público Fiscal de la Ciudad con el objetivo de… pic.twitter.com/UxJN6HlE0l — DAIA (@DAIAArgentina) October 9, 2024“We are already working to clean it up. The complaint has already been filed and we are going to do everything in our power to identify these criminals,” Ballan said.A close variant of the phrase has a long history on the country’s far right. The Nationalist Liberation Alliance, a World War II-era Argentine movement affiliated with the Nazis, used the phrase, and it was later employed by Tacura, a fascist movement that was active in Argentina in the decades following the war.It has appeared more recently as well. A decade ago, residents in the town of General Paz received tax bills with the phrase written on them. The city official responsible for the printing was ultimately sentenced to a suspended jail term and was ordered to apologize and learn about the Holocaust.The graffiti was discovered the same week that Jews in Buenos Aires marked the first anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel last year. An event organized by the country’s largest Jewish organizations drew 15,000 attendees, according to the country’s Israeli embassy.There was a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel demonstration in the city the same day.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

3 reserve soldiers killed in northern Gaza as IDF presses offensive in Jabaliya-Palestinian Red Crescent reports 28 killed in strike on Hamas command post at former school; military says Hamas commanders who took part in Oct. 7 targeted in Wednesday airstrike-By ToI Staff Today, 8:38 pmUpdated at 9:31 pm-OCT 10,24

The Israel Defense Forces said Thursday that three reserve soldiers were killed amid fighting in the northern Gaza Strip, where the military launched a fresh ground offensive this week to prevent Hamas from reestablishing itself in the area.The three, all soldiers in the 5460th support unit of the 460th Brigade, were named as:Master Sgt. (res.) Ori Moshe Borenstein, 32, from Moreshet.Maj. (res.) Netanel Hershkovitz, 37, from Jerusalem.Master Sgt. (res.) Tzvi Matityahu Marantz, 32, from Bnei Adam.Their deaths bring the number of Israeli troops killed in the ground offensive in Gaza to 353.The announcement came as the IDF said troops were pressing ahead with the operation in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya, where according to a military statement they killed dozens of terror operatives over the previous 24 hours.The statement said troops captured weapons including rifles, RPG launchers, and ammunition.The update came a day after the IDF carried out a strike on a-command and-control complex in Jabaliya that“eliminated at least twelve terrorists, some of whom took part in the murderous terror attack against the residents of the Gaza border communities on October 7” last year, according to a joint statement Thursday from the military and Shin Bet security service.The statement named twelve men, identifying them as terror operatives who were affiliated with either Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.“Large quantities of weapons were stored inside the command and control center, and it was used by the terrorists to plan and execute terror attacks against IDF troops and the citizens of the State of Israel,” the joint statement said, adding that the site previously served as a medical compound.Those killed also included a platoon commander in Hamas’s military intelligence unit, a deputy platoon commander in a Hamas anti-tank unit, two platoon commanders in Hamas’s elite Nukhba force and a Hamas engineering operative, the statement said.The IDF said it took steps to mitigate civilian harm ahead of the strike.On Thursday, the military struck another alleged Hamas command post at a school-turned-shelter in central Gaza’s Deir Al-Balah.The Palestinian Red Crescent said the strike on the Rufaida school complex killed 28 people and wounded 54 others, without differentiating between civilians and combatants.“Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence,” the military said in a statement.Israel also noted that Hamas and other terror groups have routinely used schools, shelters and other protected facilities for their operations, with the civilians there serving as human shields. The IDF vowed to continue striking terror operatives wherever they are, while making efforts to minimize harm to nearby civilians.Witnesses quoted by The Associated Press said the strike occurred while school managers were meeting with representatives of an aid group in a room normally used by Hamas-run police who provide security. They said there were no police in the room at the time.The Palestinian branch of Terre des Hommes, a Swiss aid group, said in a statement that members of one of its children’s health teams were killed in the strike, though it did not specify how many.According to the military, troops eliminated numerous gunmen, uncovered weapons and demolished military infrastructure in ground operations in central Gaza on Thursday. In southern Gaza’s Rafah, forces located and destroyed rocket launchers, weaponry, and underground tunnel shafts used by terror operatives, the IDF said.Also Thursday, a small drone was launched from the Gaza Strip toward Israel and downed by the IDF as it crossed the border, the military said. No one was hurt in the incident.Along with the ground operations, the Israeli Air Force hit around 30 Hamas targets in Gaza over the past day, according to the military, which said the strikes targeted terror cells, weapon stockpiles, launchers, buildings, underground infrastructure and other assets of terror groups.Meanwhile, the UN children’s agency announced Thursday that Israel had agreed to “humanitarian pauses” in specific areas of Gaza to facilitate a second round of polio vaccinations for some 590,000 children under the age of 10. Israel has yet to comment on the announcement.The fighting came after the the United States said Wednesday that it believes Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is alive and likely hiding in an underground Gaza tunnel with hostages in his vicinity.“Yahya Sinwar remains the decision maker. He remains — we believe — alive and in a tunnel underneath Gaza, holding hostages, and likely with hostages in his vicinity,” said White House Mideast czar Brett McGurk, during a High Holiday call with American rabbis.The terror leader, who had dropped out of contact, was said in controversial reporting this week to have gotten back in touch with Qatari mediators of a potential hostage-ceasefire deal — saying he wants “immunity” from a potential targeted strike during the talks, according to Channel 12.It is believed that 97 of the 251 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 34 confirmed dead by the IDF.Hamas released 105 civilians during a weeklong truce in late November, and four hostages were released before that. Eight hostages have been rescued by troops alive, and the bodies of 37 hostages have also been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the military as they tried to escape their captors.Hamas is also holding two Israeli civilians who entered the Strip in 2014 and 2015, as well as the bodies of two IDF soldiers who were killed in 2014.Agencies contributed to this report.

UN probe claims Israel seeking to ‘destroy’ Gaza healthcare system-Investigators claim Israel has carried out ‘relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities,’ conflate Palestinian security detainees with Gaza hostages-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 8:22 pm-OCT 10,24

GENEVA – A United Nations inquiry claimed Israel has carried out a concerted policy of destroying Gaza’s healthcare system in the ongoing war with Hamas, actions amounting to both war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination.A statement Thursday by ex-UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay released ahead of a full report accused Israel of “relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities” in the war, triggered by the Hamas terror group’s massacres in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.“Children in particular have borne the brunt of these attacks, suffering both directly and indirectly from the collapse of the health system,” said Pillay, whose report will be presented to the UN General Assembly on October 30.Israel has said that while it seeks to avoid civilian fatalities in its fight against Hamas, the Gaza terror group is deeply embedded within the civilian population, and operates from the cover of built-up populated areas including private homes, schools and hospitals.Captured terrorists have confirmed the claims, explaining that Hamas believes Israel will not target them if they hide inside medical facilities.The UN inquiry’s statement also accused Israeli forces of deliberately killing and torturing medical personnel and targeting medical vehicles — something which Israel has consistently denied doing.As an example, it cited the death of a Palestinian girl, Hind Rajab, in February along with family members and two medics who came to rescue her, which was blamed on Israel by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.The IDF said that an initial investigation into the death of the six-year-old suggested that no troops had been in the area at the time. The case was then handed off to the General Staff Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism, an independent military body responsible for investigating unusual incidents amid the war.The UN inquiry further accused Israel of restricting permits for patients to leave the war-torn Gaza Strip.Following the October 7 terror onslaught, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 were seized as hostages, Israel closed the heavily damaged Erez Crossing, which prior to the war had served as a medical corridor for sick Gazans in need of treatment. While it has since reopened for the delivery of aid to the enclave, along with the Kerem Shalom border crossing, it has not reopened for individual use.Throughout the first months of the war, close to 5,000 sick and injured Gazans were able to evacuate via the Rafah Crossing on the Gaza-Egypt border. But the crossing was shuttered in May after the IDF launched an offensive in the southernmost Gaza city, as Egypt said it refused to reopen its side of the crossing until the Gaza side is returned to Palestinian control.The World Health Organization has said that over 10,000 patients requiring urgent medical evacuation have been prevented from leaving Gaza since then.Medical evacuations have nevertheless continued to take place — albeit in a limited and irregular fashion — and in September, the WHO evacuated nearly 100 people, including dozens of children, fromConflating the treatment of Palestinian security detainees in Israel and the 101 hostages held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza, the UN statement said that its investigation found both sides to have been involved in carrying out torture and sexual violence.Hamas has prevented the International Committee of the Red Cross from visiting the hostages in Gaza since their abduction, and the Red Cross has in turn said that unless the terror group changes its stance, it cannot access them independently.In the wake of October 7, Israel banned the Red Cross from visiting Palestinian prisoners in Israeli facilities without offering an explanation as to why, or an alternative option. In addition, numerous reports have emerged of abuse by Israeli officials against Palestinian detainees at the Sde Teiman detention facility close to Beersheba.However, dozens of investigations are being conducted into the allegations. So far, one soldier has been indicted for abusing detainees at the facility, while another five are under investigation for the alleged violent sexual abuse of a detainee. In addition, the High Court of Justice ordered the government in August to explain why it shouldn’t declare the ban on Red Cross visits to be illegal.The Commission of Inquiry (COI) has a broad mandate to collect evidence and identify suspected perpetrators of international crimes committed in Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. It bases its findings on a range of sources including interviews with victims and witnesses, submissions and satellite imagery.The COI has previously alleged that both Israel and Hamas committed war crimes in the early stages of the Gaza war and that Israel’s actions also constituted crimes against humanity because of the immense civilian losses cited by the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza. The term is reserved for the most serious international crimes knowingly committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilians.The Hamas-controlled Gaza health ministry has said that since the outbreak of war, more than 42,000 people have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters.Israel says it has killed some 17,000 combatants in battle as of August and another 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.Israel has not cooperated with the inquiry, which it says has an anti-Israel bias. The COI has accused Israel of obstructing its work and preventing investigators from accessing both Israel and the Palestinian territories.Sometimes, the evidence gathered by such UN-mandated bodies has formed the basis for war crimes prosecutions and could be drawn on by the International Criminal Court.Jeremy Sharon contributed to this report.

Finally on the offensive, IDF’s 91st Division slices through Hezbollah’s front lines-Reservists sustain casualties during second week of ground offensive, but assert control over Lebanon border area and Radwan weapons caches-By Lazar Berman-Today, 7:00 pm-OCT 10,24

Little more than a year ago, Israel faced a dilemma on its northern border, beyond the hovering threat that had occupied its defense leaders for the previous two decades. The Lebanese terror group Hezbollah had erected two tents inside of Israeli territory, which Israel was determined to see removed.But it was equally determined to avoid a war with Hezbollah, which — Israel assumed — would rain thousands of rockets down on the country every day. Israel was as deterred as it hoped the powerful Iran-backed army was.The tents remained for months, as Israel rather flaccidly sent a message to Hezbollah through UN peacekeepers asking them to remove the structures. Some officials in Israel pushed for the use of force, but in the end, diplomatic moves combined with vague verbal threats seemed to finally convince Hezbollah to pull back.Now, after Hamas’s October 7 attacks — and a year of rocket and anti-tank missile fire from Hezbollah, Israel’s mood has changed dramatically, as has the balance of power. Ten days into the IDF ground operation in Lebanon, it’s hard to fathom that Israel recently treated Hezbollah as an adversary that it needs to tiptoe around.On Thursday, the IDF for the first time brought Israeli journalists into a village in southern Lebanon, a clear indication that it feels it has asserted operational control over the area.Other signs of the new reality abound. Israel has cut a series of openings into the border fence for IDF vehicles to cross into Lebanon, and the gaps are now entirely unguarded. It brought the journalists into enemy territory in open Hummers, with no fear of snipers or mines.And the reserve soldiers from the 8207th Battalion of the 91st Division’s “Alon” Brigade who were stationed inside the Shi’a village seemed relaxed and happy, eager to  pose for pictures or lightheartedly berate the journalists for spreading negativity.Hezbollah certainly has some fight left. A soldier from the battalion was seriously hurt Wednesday, and eight were lightly hurt the day before. The IDF announced this morning that Sgt. Maj. (res.) Ronny Ganizate of the Alon Brigade’s 5030th Battalion was killed and another reservist seriously hurt.But it’s far from the organized, highly professional defense that many expected. Soldiers said they faced uncoordinated attacks by small cells, which are inevitably eliminated. Soldiers in another brigade told The Times of Israel that the remaining Hezbollah fighters in their sector are mostly dispirited, though they mount the periodic ambush.Much of the degradation of Hezbollah’s forces along the border was achieved over the last year, as the IDF used artillery and airstrikes to target enemy positions in nearby Lebanese villages. The IDF also carried out dozens of quiet raids to further reduce Hezbollah’s capabilities.Under pressure, the elite Radwan force that was trained to invade northern Israel pulled away from the border.And in recent weeks, Israel has revved up its fight against Hezbollah into another gear. With cold-blooded creativity, a relentless series of IDF (and likely Mossad) attacks ravaged the terror group’s senior leadership and reduced its rocket arsenal.Driving along the border with Lebanon now, the fence that was designed to slow Hezbollah down in the event of an attempted invasion seems nothing less than pathetic, a rusty testament to how badly Israel underestimated its adversaries until 6:29 a.m. on October 7. The barbed wire coils and the blue UN barrels warning against crossing the demarcation line would have done nothing to slow thousands of Radwan fighters from pouring across into the kibbutzim and army bases nearby.IDF soldiers in Lebanon have uncovered Hezbollah preparations for that very scenario.“This village is a fortified position,” said Alon Brigade commander Col. Yaniv Malka, standing inside what was a small, one-story structure. “There is not a single building in all this village, unfortunately, where we didn’t find some kind of munition or piece of intelligence.”That house held well-maintained military equipment for two Hezbollah fighters, including a stash of rockets. In a nearby field, troops found launchers aimed at the Israeli border community of Avivim.“All the buildings around it are just like this, but on steroids,” said Malka.On Tuesday night, Battalion 8207 found a much larger cache in a house a hundred yards away. They were ambushed as they took the house, resulting in eight wounded.The house had three rooms packed with mortar shells, Kalashnikov rifles, RPGs, hand grenades, rain suits and Kevlar vests. A Dragunov sniper rifle and PK machine gun lay in cases in one of the rooms, which is now missing its back wall.“An operative comes south in jeans and sandals,” said 91st Division commander Brig. Gen. Shai Klepper, “reaches here, gets equipment, gets a map, gets the plan that he had prepared for, and knows how to invade.”The preparation was meticulous. His soldiers found notebooks detailing regular inspections of the sites by Hezbollah officials going back five years.After nearly a year of playing defense — “like a caged lion,” in the words of one officer — the 91st Division is finally on the offensive, using the full spectrum of its capabilities and putting its plans into motion. And it is determined to make sure Hezbollah’s years of preparation go to waste.“We will destroy every house that had munitions in them,” said Malka. “Period. We live not leave two stones on top of each other in any house that weapons were in.”“We are taking away Hezbollah’s ability to fire at northern Israel.”

Trump Org said looking to resume talks for Israel hotel properties when war is over-GOP candidate’s son Eric Trump tells NY Times that discussions halted after Oct. 7 out of respect, but business partners say pause due to ethics concern amid his father’s campaign-By ToI Staff Today, 5:51 pm-OCT 10,24

The Trump Organization is looking to resume negotiations for new hotel properties in Israel, raising possible ethical concerns as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump seeks a second term in the White House, the New York Times reported Wednesday.According to the report, Eric Trump, the former US president’s son who runs the family business, sought to open hotels in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, pursuing the projects well after his father was already a candidate in the upcoming American election.Two Florida businessmen, who the US newspaper described as past political supporters of Trump, were looking to partner with the Trump Organization to lease two hotels owned by Israeli real estate company Nitsba Group, which would license the Trump name and manage the hotels.The developers had their eyes on the Haleom Hotel, a Jerusalem development that has been in construction for years, and on the Sarona Hotel in Tel Aviv. Eric Trump also reportedly toured the famous Princess Hotel in Eilat, but passed on the property.A deal with Nitsba was almost finalized, but talks were suspended last year in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 massacre in Israel, which started the ongoing war, those involved told the Times.“The deal absolutely would have gotten done if not for Oct. 7,” Eric Trump said. He explained that finalizing the deal as the war broke out “would have seemed trivial and tone-deaf in light of the horrific things that the country and region were experiencing,” but said the company would “definitely” close on the deal once the war is over.According to the report, however, the talks came to a halt weeks before the Hamas attack, due to ethical concerns regarding Trump’s presidential campaign.Lockwood, the real estate firm of the Florida businessmen, confirmed to the Times that the negotiations were canceled due to “an ethical issue that had to do with Donald J. Trump as he was getting closer to being considered the Republican nominee.”In August, however, Lockwood reached out to a Nitsba executive, saying Eric Trump wants to resume talks “when the timing becomes right.”The company has also pursued other deals amid Trump’s presidential campaign, the Times noted, including plans for towers in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and a hotel and golf project in Vietnam.It’s unclear what ethics guidelines Trump intends to commit to if he is elected again next month. During his first term, the billionaire put a stop to international deals, hired an ethics adviser and paid the US Treasury annual compensation for profits from foreign officials who stayed at Trump hotels, the Times report noted.At the same time, then-president Trump was also accused of not doing enough to sever his business connections, including by some who invoked the US Constitution’s Emoluments Clause forbidding gifts from foreign governments.“The first time we did everything imaginable to avoid any appearance of impropriety, and frankly, we got crushed anyway,” Eric Trump said.This time, he said, “We can’t just sit out in perpetuity, and I won’t.”

 Afghan National Arrested for Plotting an Election Day Terrorist Attack in the Name of ISIS-Tuesday, October 8, 2024-Office of Public Affairs

The Justice Department today announced charges against a citizen of Afghanistan residing in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for conspiring to conduct an Election Day terrorist attack in the United States on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO).According to a criminal complaint filed today, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, conspired and attempted to provide material support to ISIS and obtained firearms and ammunition to conduct a violent attack on U.S. soil in the name of ISIS. As part of the plot, the defendant allegedly took steps to liquidate his family’s assets, resettle members of his family overseas, acquire AK-47 assault rifles and ammunition, and commit a terrorist attack in the United States.“As charged, the Justice Department foiled the defendant’s plot to acquire semi-automatic weapons and commit a violent attack in the name of ISIS on U.S. soil on Election Day,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “We will continue to combat the ongoing threat that ISIS and its supporters pose to America’s national security, and we will identify, investigate, and prosecute the individuals who seek to terrorize the American people. I am deeply grateful to the public servants of the FBI, National Security Division, and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma for their work to disrupt this attack and for the work they do every day to protect our country.”“This defendant, motivated by ISIS, allegedly conspired to commit a violent attack, on Election Day, here on our homeland," said FBI Director Christopher Wray. "I am proud of the men and women of the FBI who uncovered and stopped the plot before anyone was harmed. Terrorism is still the FBI's number one priority, and we will use every resource to protect the American people."“Thanks to the relentless efforts of the FBI, National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section, and federal prosecutors in my office, the alleged plan to commit an attack on Election Day was disrupted and Mr. Tawhedi was arrested,” said U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester for the Western District of Oklahoma. “Fighting terrorism remains the top priority of the Justice Department. We will continue to pursue, disrupt, and hold accountable those who plot to commit acts of terrorism against our country and our people.”According to the criminal complaint, as part of the investigation into Tawhedi, the FBI searched Tawhedi’s phone and obtained communications between Tawhedi and a person who facilitated recruitment, training, and indoctrination of persons who expressed interest in terrorist activity and who Tawhedi understood to be affiliated with ISIS. Tawhedi was also seen in a video recorded on July 20 reading to two children text that describes the rewards a martyr receives in the afterlife. Tawhedi also allegedly accessed, viewed, and saved ISIS propaganda on his iCloud and Google account, participated in pro-ISIS Telegram groups, and contributed to a charity which fronts for and funnels money to ISIS.The complaint alleges that while liquidating their family’s assets prior to the attack, Tawhedi and his co-conspirator, who is a juvenile, advertised the sale of the family’s personal property on Facebook. At the FBI’s direction, a confidential human source responded to inquire if a computer was still for sale. The FBI source noted that he needed the computer for a new gun business he was starting, which ultimately led Tawhedi and the juvenile to meet with the source and other FBI assets at a rural location to test firearms. Tawhedi expressed interest in purchasing two AK-47 assault rifles, magazines, and ammunition from the source.According to the criminal complaint, on Oct. 7, Tawhedi and the juvenile met with the FBI assets at a rural location in the Western District of Oklahoma and purchased, received, and took possession of two AK-47 assault rifles, ten magazines, and 500 rounds of ammunition. Upon receipt of the rifles and ammunition, Tawhedi and the juvenile were arrested.In his seized communications, Tawhedi allegedly indicated that his attack was planned for Election Day, and in a post-arrest interview, Tawhedi allegedly confirmed the attack was planned for Election Day targeting large gatherings of people, during which he and the juvenile were expected to die as martyrs.Tawhedi was charged with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, and receiving a firearm to be used to commit a felony or a federal crime of terrorism, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 15 years, if convicted.The case is being investigated by the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office, with valuable assistance from the Oklahoma City Police Department and the Moore, Oklahoma Police Department.Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jessica L. Perry, Matt Dillon, and Mark Stoneman for the Western District of Oklahoma and Trial Attorneys George C. Kraehe and Everett McMillian of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section are prosecuting the case.A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.Updated October 9, 2024

Senior Hezbollah figure appears to escape as Israeli strikes rock central Beirut-Lebanon says 22 others killed in attack on areas of Lebanese capital previously unscathed by conflict; IDF eases some restrictions in north even as rocket fire persists-By ToI Staff and Agencies Today, 1:41 am-CT 11,24

Large blasts shook Beirut on Thursday evening as Israeli airstrikes targeted at least one senior Hezbollah member in a previously untouched neighborhood in the Lebanese capital. The strike came as troops continued to raid villages in southern Lebanon and as Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets across the border into Israeli cities and towns.Wafiq Safa, Hezbollah’s Liason and Coordination Unit chief, was thought to be the target of one of the strikes, but managed to elude the attack on a third-floor apartment near central Beirut, three security sources told Reuters.The sources did not provide any further information.At least 22 other people were killed and more than 100 were injured in the strikes, Lebanon’s health ministry said, although Lebanese medical source estimated that the toll was likely to rise as search and rescue operations continued.The IDF did not immediately comment on the strikes, which appeared to mark deadliest attacks in the center of the capital since Israel escalated its campaign against Hezbollah last month.Shortly after nightfall, Lebanese media reported that an apartment in an eight-story building on the edge of the Al Nuwairi and Ras el-Nabaa neighborhoods had been targeted in an Israeli airstrike.A second building located in the nearby Basta neighborhood was also said to have been targeted minutes later.Neither of the locations had previously been targeted in Israeli airstrikes, and they were well removed from the southern suburbs of Beirut, where Hezbollah’s headquarters are located.It was the third time that such a strike had taken place beyond Beirut’s southern suburbs, though there have also been Israeli strikes on Hezbollah assets across southern Lebanon and in the eastern Beqaa Valley.Reuters witnesses said at least one strike hit near a gas station and a thick column of smoke was visible. A large fire blazed in the background as rescue workers used torches to search the rubble for survivors, according to video broadcast by Hezbollah’s al-Manar television.The attempt to kill Safa, whose role merges security and political affairs, marked a widening of targeting of Hezbollah officials by Israel, which had so far focused on the group’s military commanders and top leaders.Safa, whom Middle East media reports said was born in 1960, oversaw negotiations that led to a 2008 deal in which Hezbollah exchanged the bodies of Israeli soldiers captured in 2006 for Lebanese prisoners in Israel.Hezbollah’s deadly 2006 raid into northern Israel triggered a 34-day war with Israel.In 2021, Reuters reported that Safa warned the judge investigating Beirut’s catastrophic 2020 port explosion, who sought to question several politicians allied with Hezbollah, that Hezbollah would remove him from the probe .He was sanctioned in 2019 by the US Treasury Department, which described him as Hezbollah’s interlocutor to the Lebanese security forces.“As the head of Hezbollah’s security apparatus, which is directly linked to Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, Safa has exploited Lebanon’s ports and border crossings to smuggle contraband and facilitate travel on behalf of Hezbollah, undermining the security and safety of the Lebanese people, while also draining valuable import duties and revenue away from the Lebanese government,” the Treasury Department wrote at the time.At the same time as details of the strikes in central Beirut continued to emerge, the IDF’s Arabic language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee called on Lebanese civilians near two buildings in the southern suburb, a Hezbollah stronghold known as Dahiyeh, to evacuate immediately ahead of airstrikes.“You are in the vicinity of facilities belonging to Hezbollah,” Adraee warned, calling on civilians to distance themselves at least 500 meters from the targeted buildings, which were highlighted in two maps published alongside the statement.The IDF also warned civilians in southern Lebanon not to return to their homes, to avoid being harmed by ongoing fighting, which injured two peacekeepers near a UNIFIL base in the coastal Naqoura area earlier in the day.Despite the incident, the UN peacekeeping force again rejected Israel’s request that it evacuate its posts along the border due to concerns the fighting could harm Blue Helmets stationed there.The peacekeeping force is deployed along the border to enforce the 2006 UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which bars Hezbollah from maintaining a military presence south of the Litani River.However, the terror group has blatantly violated the resolution for much of its existence, and the UN has failed to stop it from doing so, Israel charges.Israel’s Channel 12 news reported Thursday evening that Foreign Minister Israel Katz had written to the UN Security Council lambasting the international body for its failure to enforce Resolution 1701.Israel launched its ground operation in southern Lebanon on September 30, aiming to demolish Hezbollah infrastructure near the Israeli border to enable the safe return of Israeli residents to their homes in the north of the country, after a year of near-daily cross-border attacks.Israel has ordered the evacuation of dozens of Lebanese localities amid the fighting, which the UN said has caused 600,000 people to become internally displaced.In a video statement distributed to foreign press Thursday, IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said troops in an evacuated village “built by Hezbollah” were “raiding every house, seizing all equipment, and dismantling Hezbollah’s ability” to carry out a plan similar to last year’s October 7 Hamas terror onslaught in southern Israel.This is a terror base,” he said, “every house here is ready for a raid against Israel.”Follow IDF spokesperson RAdm.

In the Upper Galilee, meanwhile, they will be able to resume only from within shelters.In the southern Golan Heights, Lower Galilee, the Carmel and Wadi Ara areas, the Home Front Command said gatherings would be allowed to take place outdoors with 100 people or less, and indoors with 350 or less.

PROOF HALF ON EARTH DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION PERIOD (8 BILLION ON EARTH)

REVELATION 6:7-8 (8 BILLION- 2 BILLION = 6 BILLION)
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. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth,(2 BILLION) to kill with sword,(WEAPONS) and with hunger,(FAMINE) and with death,(INCURABLE DISEASES) and with the beasts of the earth.(ANIMAL TO HUMAN DISEASE).

LUKE 17:34-37 (8 TOTAL BILLION - 4 BILLION DEAD IN TRIB = 4 BILLION TO JESUS KINGDOM) (HALF DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION PERIOD JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS)(GOD DOES NOT LIE)(AND NOTICE MOST DIE IN WAR AND DISEASES-NOT COMETS-ASTEROIDS-QUAKES OR TSUNAMIS)
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other shall be left.(half earths population 4 billion die in the 7 yr trib)
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)

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)(THIS IS AN ATOMIC BOMB EFFECT)

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.

WELL HAVE I GOT AN IDEA OF AN OCTOBER SURPRISE OF WHY BIDEN IS TRYING TO STOP ISRAEL FROM ATTACKING THE IRANIAN NUKE SITES AND OIL FIELDS. IN THE STORY BELOW THE US IS IN TALKS WITH THE ARAB LEAGUE AND IRAN ABOUT IN CEASE IN GAZA AND LEBANON.

I SAY BIDEN SECRETLY HAS BEEN TALKING WITH IRAN. AND THE US AND IRAN MADE A DEAL TOGETHER. THAT IF BIDEN AND HARRIS AND WALZ COULD STOP ISRAEL FROM ATTACKING IRANS NUCLEAR SITES AND OIL FIELDS. THEN IRAN WOULD TELL HAMAS TO SET THE REMAINING HOSTAGE FREE. AND CLAIME THEY WILL DO A CEASE FIRE WITH ISRAEL. THERES A BUT BUT IN THERE THOUGHT. HERES THE CATCH. IN ORDER FOR THE HARRIS/TAMPON TIM WALZ TO WIN THE NOV 5 ELECTION. BID TELLS KHEMEINI THAT THE IRANIANS MUST SAY THAT IT WAS KAMILLA HARRIS THAT BROKERED THE FREEING OF THE HOSTAGES. HARRIS MUST GET THE CREDIT FOR THE HOSTAGES BEING SET FREE. AND IRAN MUST AGREE TO THAT. THAT HARRIS AND IRAN BROKERED THE HOSTAGE DEAL. SO HARRIS WILL LOOK LIKE THE SAVIOUR THAT GOT THE HOSTAGES FREED. AND HARRIS WILL THEN WIN THE ELECTION OVER TRUMP REAL EASY. BY SETTING UP THIS FREEDOM OF THE HOSTAGES DEAL. THIS IS HOW I BELIEVE WITH IRANS HELP. HARRIS WOULD WIN THE ELECTION BY FRAUDULENT MEANS. WE WILL SEE IF MY PREDICTION IS RIGHT TO COME TO PASS IN THE NEXT 3 WEEKS.

AND THIS WOULD EXPLAIN WHY GOD WOULD SEND MORE HURRICANE JUDGEMENT ON AMERICA. THE 2ND HURRICANE TO HIT AMERICA IN 2 WEEKS. 1ST HELENE AND NOW MILTON IS ON ITS CATEGORY 5 WAY TO TAMPA BAY AND AREA.

Biden suggests Israel not hit Iran oil fields, after opposing strike on nuke facilities-OCT 4,24 TIMES OF ISRAEL.

Hurricane Milton on path for Florida landfall as a potentially historic major storm-By Emily Mae Czachor-Updated on: October 8, 2024 / 10:39 PM EDT / CBS News

I think the most recent models have it somewhere in Manatee County, just south of Tampa Bay," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a briefing Tuesday. "But I would just tell people, one, we're going to have impacts far beyond wherever the eye of the storm is. Two, you can make landfall anywhere from Citrus County down into Southwest Florida. We'll know more over the next 12 to 18 hours. But just, cones, all this stuff you see, the impacts will be broader than that, specifically with respect to storm surge."The National Weather Service in Tampa Bay described Milton as "a historic storm for the west coast of Florida" that could prove to be the worst storm to impact Tampa Bay in more than 100 years.Floridians in the potential path of the hurricane lined properties with sandbags, boarded up doors and windows, and moved their boats ahead of the storm's arrival. DeSantis issued emergency orders over the weekend that now include 51 counties, whose residents, he said, should prepare for power outages, stock up on enough food and water to last a week and be ready to leave their homes if necessary.According to GasBuddy, as of Tuesday evening, a little over 17% of all gas stations in Florida were without fuel, including more than 46% in the Tampa Bay area. The hurricane center said Tuesday evening that Milton posed "an extremely life-threatening situation" to those in the storm surge warning area of the west-central coast of Florida, adding that "you should evacuate today if ordered by local officials. There will likely not be enough time to wait to leave on Wednesday."Once it makes landfall, Milton was forecast to remain a hurricane as it crosses the Florida peninsula. "Preparations to protect life and property, including being ready for long-duration power outages, should be completed tonight," the hurricane center said.It was expected to move off Florida's east coast and into the Atlantic Ocean sometime Thursday.Tracking Hurricane Milton-Milton on Tuesday was traveling just north of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, where the Mexican government issued hurricane warnings as forecasters expected damaging winds and a life-threatening storm surge to hit portions of the coast. The hurricane had weakened somewhat since its maximum sustained wind speeds swirled past 180 mph Monday during a rapid period of intensification that the National Hurricane Center called "explosive" and "remarkable."Milton had dropped back down to Category 4 overnight Monday. But by Tuesday night, the storm churned over the Yucatán Peninsula with maximum wind speeds hovering around 165 mph — which is above the 157 mph threshold for a Category 5 storm. Forecasters said they expected Milton to retain its status as a major hurricane on its way to the western Florida coast.  As of 8 p.m. Eastern Time Tuesday, Milton was located 280 miles southwest of the Dry Tortugas, Florida, and 440 miles southwest of Tampa. It was moving northeast at 10 mph. A hurricane warning was in effect for the Florida west coast from Bonita Beach north to Suwannee River, including Tampa Bay, and the state's east coast from the St. Lucie-Martin County line north to Ponte Vedra Beach. Multiple areas were also under tropical storm watches and warnings, including portions of Georgia, South Carolina and the Bahamas.That peak strength rivaled the most disastrous Atlantic hurricanes in recorded history and happened at breakneck speed. Milton was a tropical storm only 24 hours before it snowballed into a Category 5 hurricane, the highest ranking on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which rates storms based on their sustained wind speeds."It is worth emphasizing that this is a very serious situation," the hurricane center said Tuesday morning. "Milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for west-central Florida."Tampa Bay braces for landfall-The latest forecasts suggest Milton will make landfall either on or near the Tampa Bay area, likely as a formidable Category 3 hurricane. Although predictions as to Milton's landfall location and timing have oscillated somewhat since Monday, when the storm underwent rapid changes, forecasts have remained fairly steady as far as the hurricane's intensity when it strikes land. Milton's wind speeds at that time are expected to fall to about 125 mph, according to the hurricane center. For impacted places, that could be devastating.Tampa-area streets Tuesday were lined with miles of potentially deadly debris from Hurricane Helene. The goal, according to Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, was to have most of it cleared by Tuesday, but the city fell short on that."Rumors that we don't have enough resources, that could not be further from the truth," Castor said in a news briefing Tuesday. "The federal government, the state government, the county, the city, private entities, are working hand-in-hand, first and foremost, to get that household debris up and out of the way, and secondly to make sure everyone is safe as we endure whatever Milton brings our way." Exactly where the hurricane is centered when Milton arrives on land may determine the extent of the destruction it wreaks on the Tampa Bay area, mainly linked to storm surge, wrote CBS News meteorologist Nikki Nolan."The forecast track with Milton has its sights set on the western coast of Florida, but the position of the center of the storm, or the 'eye,' can determine how catastrophic the impacts are on the Tampa Bay area," Nolan said. "The eastern side of the eye is considered the 'dirty side' of the storm, which is where the winds tend to be the strongest. As the forecast track shifts northward, the dirty side then falls over Tampa Bay."That creates more serious risks of storm surge in the region, according to Nolan. Forecasts have warned Milton's arrival could bring potentially life-threatening storm surge to the Florida Gulf Coast, which is particularly vulnerable to severe surges because of its geography, and that is especially true for Tampa Bay. Multiple people died in Tampa from storm surge caused by Hurricane Helene, and that storm did not even hit the city directly.  A storm track into or just north of St. Petersburg brings winds that funnel an already high water up into the city. A track just a few miles south actually pulls the water out of the Bay, leading to minimal storm surge.John Antapasis, emergency management director for the city of Tampa, knows just how vulnerable his city is to hurricanes."There's a lot of vulnerable infrastructure here, and the geography itself that potentially, you know, puts us just much at more risk," Antapasis said.Antapasis said the storm surge is the one thing that makes him worry at night when he goes to sleep."It's the storm surge on this one," Antapasis said. "Ultimately our first responders, we're going to be here, we're going to try to save lives, protect property first. And then we will go through that recovery process if that does happen to us."Eurydice Stanley rode out Helene in her Tampa-area home, but evacuated to Tallahassee Monday."People are staying at home, but these storms are different, ask the citizens of of Asheville, North Carolina," Stanley told CBS News.And while millions of people in the Tampa area are under a mandatory evacuation, and many have left, some aren't going anywhere. Bridgit Budd, who resides on Sanibel Island, is among those who says she is staying. Budd and her husband have ridden out for major hurricanes before, including Helene."There's just no place I would rather be," Budd told CBS News. "You know, I don't suggest it for anybody. I'm not promoting it."Storm surge forecast-Hurricane and storm surge warnings expanded Tuesday to include large sections of Florida's eastern coast, which could potentially see surges up to  feet above ground level as Milton tracks inland over the state after making landfall, on its route toward the Atlantic. Coastal places in Georgia and South Carolina could experience several feet of storm surge too.Storm surge threats are a major concern for the west coast of Florida. In addition to hurricane warnings, storm surge warnings were also in effect from Flamingo northward to the Suwannee River, including Charlotte Harbor and Tampa Bay. A storm surge warning was also in effect for Florida's east coast, from the Sebastian Inlet in Florida, north to Altamaha Sound, Georgia.The hurricane center has warned that storm surge in the Tampa Bay area could reach 10 to 15 feet above ground level."The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the south of the landfall location, where the surge will be accompanied by large and dangerous waves," the hurricane center said in a Monday afternoon advisory. "Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances."Forecasts show heavy rainfall, up to 15 inches in certain areas, could cause "considerable flash, urban and areal flooding, along with moderate to major river flooding" in parts of the Florida peninsula though Thursday.Evacuation zones-Mass evacuations were underway as Florida airports canceled flights, and schools as far south as Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe counties announced closures ahead of Milton's expected arrival. Thousands fled the Tampa Bay area and parts of the surrounding region were under mandatory evacuation orders issued Monday and Tuesday.As tens of thousands flee Milton's path, the Georgia Department of Transportation reported that it saw traffic volumes as of 8 a.m. Tuesday on Interstate 75 that were 280% higher than normal between the Georgia and Florida state line. The Port of Key West has closed ahead of Milton's arrival, CBS Miami reports, with cruise ships bypassing the port. Several Orlando area theme parks were also shuttering, including Walt Disney World, SeaWorld Orlando and Universal Studios Florida.   United said Tuesday night that it had added 18 extra flights out of Florida, as well larger aircraft on four of those flights in an effort to serve as many customers as possible. It said all flights out of Tampa, Fort Myers and Sarasota were full through Thursday.Aviation analytics company Circium reported that 80% of flights from Tampa were canceled Tuesday. "We are talking about the possibility now of a direct hit," said Tampa Mayor Jane Castor in a CNN interview Monday, where she urged people to heed storm warnings and follow evacuation protocols. Castor noted that storm surge caused by Helene, while destructive, was significantly lower than the surge forecast for a vast stretch of Florida's western coast, including Tampa, with Milton."Helene was a wake-up call. This is literally catastrophic. And I can say, without any dramatization whatsoever, if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you're going to die," Castor said.President Biden echoed the mayor Tuesday morning as the White House announced he would postpone a trip to Germany and Angola to monitor the response to Hurricane Milton."I've urged everyone, everyone currently located in Hurricane Milton's path to listen to local officials and follow safety instructions," Mr. Biden said. "... If you're under evacuation orders, you should evacuate now, now, now — you should have already evacuated. It's a matter of life and death."Mr. Biden said he preapproved emergency declarations in Florida and sent Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell to the state Monday. The president also said he has spoken to all political leaders in the region expected to feel Milton's impacts and told them, "Anything they ask for, they can get."This radar loop from CBS Miami shows weather conditions over Florida and the Gulf of Mexico as Hurricane Milton approaches.

US: Hezbollah ceasefire call shows it's 'getting battered' US and Arab states reportedly in talks with Iran for ceasefire on all war fronts-Israeli TV says Jerusalem informed of the initiative but not part of it; Hezbollah seems to drop demand for Gaza truce as its deputy leader backs effort for Lebanon ceasefire-By ToI Staff and Agencies Today, 3:33 am-OCT 9,24

The United States and Arab states have launched covert talks with Iran for a comprehensive ceasefire aimed at calming all war fronts at once, according to an Israeli television report Tuesday.Channel 12 news reported that Israel is not currently involved in the initiative, but that senior Israeli officials have been informed about it.The network noted that it was not clear how the efforts would affect the Gaza Strip, which is more complex than the rest of the fronts due to Israel’s desire to continue fighting even after a potential hostage deal and Hamas’s demand for an Israeli withdrawal in any deal.The report added that Israel has not yet told the US what its position on the initiative is.“We are currently in a position of power, a ceasefire will be on our terms, including a [Hezbollah] withdrawal beyond the Litani [River] and the dismantling of all military Hezbollah sites in areas near the border,” a senior Israeli official was quoted as saying.The report came as Hezbollah seemed to drop its demand for a truce in Gaza as a condition for reaching a ceasefire in Lebanon, rowing back from an oft-repeated promise to keep fighting until Israel halts its offensive against the Lebanese terror group’s Iran-backed ally Hamas.Ever since Hezbollah began launching rockets across Lebanon’s border a day after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel that triggered the war in Gaza and subsequent fighting across the region, Hezbollah officials have consistently said they would not stop until Israel ended the conflict in the Strip.But Naim Qassem, the deputy leader of Hezbollah, broke that link in a televised speech on Tuesday, even as he promised to continue to stand with Hamas and Palestinians in their battle with Israel.Qassem, now Hezbollah’s top official after its chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli strike, said he backed efforts by Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally, to secure a truce — without setting a precondition.“We support the political activity being led by Berri under the title of a ceasefire,” Qassem said. “If the enemy (Israel) continues its war, then the battlefield will decide.”Two days earlier, two lower-ranking Hezbollah officials had also talked about a Lebanon truce without making a linkage with Gaza.Hezbollah has not explicitly said it was shifting its position. The group did not comment for this story.Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters his terror group was still “confident in Hezbollah’s stance linking any agreement with a halt to the war in Gaza,” citing previous Hezbollah statements.However, a Lebanese government official who declined to be named told Reuters that Hezbollah had amended its position because of a host of pressures, including the mass displacement of people from the main constituencies where supporters of the Muslim Shi’ite group live in south Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs.The official said it was also driven by Israel’s intensifying ground campaign and objections to Hezbollah’s stance from some Lebanese political actors.Top lawmakers from other sects in Lebanon’s patchwork politics have in recent days called for a resolution to end fighting that does not link the future of Lebanon — a nation that was already crippled by an economic crisis before the latest conflict — to the Gaza war.“We will not tie our fate to the fate of Gaza,” veteran Lebanese Druze figure Walid Jumblatt said on Monday.Lebanese Christian politician Suleiman Frangieh, a close ally of Hezbollah, told reporters on Monday that the “priority” was a halt to Israel’s offensive “and that we come out united from this attack and that Lebanon is victorious.”Preceding these comments, there were indications from two other officials that Hezbollah could be changing its stance.One of them, Hezbollah official Mahmoud Qmati, told Iraqi state television on Sunday that the group would be “ready to begin examining political solutions after a halt to the aggression on Lebanon,” again without mentioning Gaza.Diplomats who also noted the shift said Hezbollah may have left it too late to generate any diplomatic momentum. Israel intensified its offensive by sending ground troops across more sections of the Lebanese-Israeli border on Tuesday and is continuing airstrikes on Beirut and elsewhere.Israel’s “ruling logic” now was military rather than diplomatic, said one diplomat working on Lebanon.A senior Western diplomat said there was no sign of any ceasefire on the horizon and that the position being expressed by Lebanese officials “evolved” from its previous stance focusing purely on a Gaza ceasefire when bombs started dropping on Beirut.Mohanad Hage Ali, an expert at the Carnegie Middle East Center, said Israel had been able to seize the upper hand by ramping up the pressure on Hezbollah militarily.“Hezbollah is playing politics… But that’s not enough for the Israelis. It doesn’t work that way,” he said.The US State Department said Hezbollah’s call for a ceasefire showed it was on the back foot and “getting battered.”“For a year, you had the world calling for this ceasefire, you had Hezbollah refusing to agree to one, and now that Hezbollah is on the back foot and is getting battered, suddenly they’ve changed their tune and want a ceasefire,” spokesperson Matthew Miller said during a press briefing.“We continue to ultimately want a diplomatic solution to this conflict,” Miller added.

Iranian official: Gulf states’ airspace must not be used in Israeli response to Iran-Senior official warns countries that any facilitation of attack is ‘unacceptable’ and urges ‘regional unity against Israel’By Reuters and ToI Staff Today, 1:18 am-OCT 8,24

Tehran has told Gulf states it would be “unacceptable” if they allowed their airspace to be used against Iran and any such move would draw a response, a senior Iranian official said Tuesday, as it braces for a possible Israeli response to last week’s Iranian missile attack.The official was speaking as Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi headed to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states for talks.The comments also followed discussions between Iran and Gulf Arab capitals last week on the sidelines of an Asia conference in Qatar, when Gulf states sought to reassure Iran of their neutrality in any conflict between Tehran and Israel.“Iran made it clear that any action by a Persian Gulf country against Tehran, whether through the use of airspace or military bases, will be regarded by Tehran as an action taken by the entire group, and Tehran will respond accordingly,” the senior Iranian official told Reuters.“The message emphasized the need for regional unity against Israel and the importance of securing stability. It also made clear that any assistance to Israel, such as allowing the use of a regional country’s airspace for actions against Iran, is unacceptable,” he said.The official said Iran did not discuss the issue of Gulf Arab oil producers raising output if Iranian production was disrupted during any escalation.A Western diplomat in the Gulf said that during the Gulf-Iran meeting in Doha on Thursday on the conference sidelines, Iran had made it clear that Tehran had called for regional unity in the face of any possible Israeli response, and that it considered neutrality of Gulf states a bare minimum.The diplomat said Iran had made it clear that Tehran would keep a close eye on how each Gulf country responded in the case of an Israeli attack, and also how US bases housed in their countries were used.Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia all host US military facilities or troops.Israel has vowed to exact a heavy price after Iran fired 200 ballistic missiles at Israel last week. Much of the barrage was intercepted by air defenses, and the attack ultimately killed one Palestinian and wounded two Israelis.The IDF also later admitted that a number of the missiles had impacted in or near IDF bases, although defense officials asserted that the Israeli Air Force’s readiness was not harmed and there was no significant damage.After the attack, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Tehran had made a “big mistake” and vowed that “it will pay for it,” and the IDF has said it is planning its response, which will be “serious and significant.”A New York Times report on Monday said that Israel’s first retaliation will likely focus on military bases, and maybe intelligence or leadership sites, but that Israel will probably decline to hit Iran’s nuclear facilities unless the Islamic Republic escalates further.Israel is reportedly also considering a strike on Iranian oil assets, which could deal a heavy economic blow to the country and spike global oil prices.
