Over the past three days, Israel has been the target of rocket attacks from Gaza. Hamas has openly declared its involvement. ”Nearly 50 rockets and mortar shells pounded southern Israel,” the Jerusalem Post reports. Four border police were injured in the Ashkelon Coast area.
Also from JPost: “Israel was expected to escalate its response to the attacks and Defense Minister Ehud Barak held security consultations late Tuesday night to review various options, following one of the worst days of violence in months.”
And:
“The more things deteriorate, the closer we come to a decision we don’t want to make,” Vice Premier Silvan Shalom said. “The prospect of a ground operation [in the Gaza Strip] shouldn’t frighten us. If this situation escalates, and I hope it won’t, then all options are open,” he told Israel Radio. “They know it. We know it. The international community knows it.”

I support Israel and pray regularly for them. My twin brother and I both are supporters of Israel. Israel returning as a country was a fufillment of scripture. Take hope Israel because their is a prophesy that has yet to come true that says God himself will defend you in the last days when your country will be invaded by a foreign army. They will be defeated in the mountain passes which means they will die before they can hurt Israel. God will send a hail storm and it will utterly destroy this army. Take heart Israel God is still your guardian!

Ezekiel 37:15 God has placed Israel in their own land. This has be fulfilled. The Israelis as yet have not completely fulfilled, “They will be my people and I will be their GOD”. It will happen.

I know the scriptures say to dwell in peace if at all possible even with evil people if possible, and yeshua/Jesus said to turn your cheek and go the extra mile if possible. That was in the context of hoping reaching lost men, which is not the case here. The name or word this group use’s and they are full aware of the meaning in Hebrew. “Hamas”- means to do violence or intentional wickedness and harm basically in the Hebrew language. This is direct opposition to the charge and stewardship given to the children of Israel, persue and seek life and dwell in peace when it is possible.Therefore I believe it is time to activate the divine commandment(again there is not statute of limitations, unless self imposed) given via Moshe/Moses , to drive the heathen pagen worshippers who have defiled and polluted Canaan (aka) Land Of Israel now. All who have read and studied the history and phrophecy concerning Ysrael/Israel are cautious because there are a chain of events linked to it, both bad and good, ending in good after some long seasons of warfare. This being said, brave warriors do not fear death in a righteous war, but cowards and fools do when the moment arises, they know their mocking of the divine will soon be require their lives for bringing curses upon the children of Israel. May G-ds speed , will,protection, and provision be made to keep peace in Jerusalem and the inheritance given to Israel. Protect that of the divines, and the Divine will protect you. Shalom/Peace be in Israel

Israel has the right to do whatever it needs to do to defend itself.

I absolutely agree that Israel, a soverein nation has to do what needs to be done for protection of its citizens, lawful residents, and lawful visitors to this amazing nation! I pray for Israel, Israel’s people and military daily. I wish I could do more to help establish peace and stability amongst surrounding terrorists. Shalom…
