Responding to the surprise attack Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that the nation is “at war” and the terrorists “will pay a price it has never known before.” Thus far, the attacks in Israel have reportedly left over 700 people dead and 2,315 wounded. Hamas claims it has captured Israel Defense Force soldiers and civilians during its assault on Israeli border towns outside Gaza. Israel’s military response –“Operation Sword of Iron”– has led to the deaths of 198 Palestinians and 1,864 people injured. The attack occurred on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the final day of the annual High Holy Day cycle.

Iran helped plan and gave the final sign-off to Hamas to launch the terror attack on Israel, the Wall Street Journal reports. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued the “final go-ahead” last Monday in Lebanon, the newspaper says. . .

Biden is directing U.S. warships and fighter jets to shift towards to Israel following Hamas’s terror attack on Israel. . .

New York City’s Times Square is flooded with hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters showing support for Hamas’s terror assault on Israel. Some demonstrators, holding Palestinian flags, are chanting slogans such as “Resistance is justified” and “Globalize the intifada.”

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police in major cities across the United States are taking extra precautions to protect Jewish citizens as Israel goes to war against Hamas following a surprise attack by the militant group during a period of Jewish holidays over the weekend.

In New York City, which has the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, Mayor Eric Adams announced on Saturday that efforts were underway to identify “potential threats” and that he was in communication with top New York Police Department officials.

“While there is no credible threat to New York City at this time, our administration is in touch with Jewish leaders across the five boroughs, and we have directed the NYPD to deploy additional resources to Jewish communities and houses of worship citywide to ensure that our communities have the resources they need to make sure everyone feels safe,” Adams added.

Law enforcement in nearby New Jersey “will be increasing patrols in sensitive areas – particularly houses of worship for both the Jewish and Islamic faiths – and taking other steps out of an abundance of caution,” said Attorney General Matthew Platkin.

Pentagon Sends Largest Aircraft Carrier to the Middle East, Says Military Aid Will Soon Reach Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon will send aircraft and its largest aircraft carrier to the Eastern Mediterranean in a show of force to support Israel in its war against Hamas terrorists, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said in a statement Sunday.

The Pentagon will begin transferring an unspecified amount of security assistance to Israel, including ammunition, Sunday that is expected to reach the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in “the coming days,” Austin said in the statement. Meanwhile, Austin, at the direction of President Joe Biden, has ordered the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford along with its strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean and moved to enhance fighter aircraft squadrons in the region.

“We have also taken steps to augment U.S. Air Force F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10 fighter aircraft squadrons in the region,” Austin said. “The U.S. maintains ready forces globally to further reinforce this deterrence posture if required,” Austin said.

The Ford is the U.S. Navy’s newest and greatest aircraft carrier and was already deployed to the Mediterranean when Israel’s parliament formally approved a war declaration on Hamas attackers Sunday morning. Israel has not gone to war since 1973.

Movement of U.S. forces nearer to Israel will “strengthen Department of Defense posture in the region to bolster regional deterrence efforts,” Austin said. The decision came after detailed discussions with the president. (Read more from “Pentagon Sends Largest Aircraft Carrier to the Middle East, Says Military Aid Will Soon Reach Israel” HERE)

Israel Strikes Back at Terrorist Targets Inside Border Areas

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) began launching strikes on Saturday and Sunday against the Palestinian terrorists responsible for the widespread terror attacks that have resulted in hundreds of Israelis being killed.

The IDF struck hundreds of targets inside of Gaza, from which the Palestinians had launched the thousands of rockets at Israel and later stormed the border.

“Terror infrastructure in the residence of Farah Hamed, a senior operative belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization, was targeted,” the IDF said. “The site was located adjacent to a mosque and three schools, which demonstrates that the Hamas terrorist organization takes advantage of holy sites and civilians to advance terror operations.”

The IDF targeted terrorist tunnels, Hamas facilities, vehicles carrying terrorists, and terrorists involved in operations on the ground. (Read more from “Israel Strikes Back at Terrorist Targets Inside Border Areas” HERE)

‘Increasing Danger’ for War on Israel in Coming Weeks

/0 Comments/in , /by

There are signs – and they are growing – that suggest a war on Israel could break out as early as the next few months.

An analysis from the Middle East Media Research Institute notes that radical organizations like Hamas and Hiezbullah are not “eager” to begin a comprehensive confrontation with Israel, but there have been “growing indications that a war against Israel may break out in September or October 2023.”

The report said “The trigger may be spiraling violent clashes resulting in many casualties, or the use of new weapons leading to many fatalities on the Israeli side, in the face of which Israel will be unable to suffice with its regular counterterrorism measures.”

The warning signs include “growing provocations” by Hezbullah on Israel’s northern border.

Those acts include “setting up tents in the Har Dov area, inside Israeli territory, dismantling surveillance cameras along the border fence near Fatima Gate and firing an anti-tank missile into Israel,” the report said. (Read more from “‘Increasing Danger’ for War on Israel in Coming Weeks” HERE)

Former Israeli Prime Minister Says U.S. Is ‘No Longer Our Closest Ally’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Yair Lapid, former Israeli Prime Minister and leader of the Yesh Atid opposition party, said Sunday that the U.S. is no longer Israel’s “closest ally,” according to the Times of Israel.

Tensions between the two nations have been at an all-time high after the White House’s criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the government over its treatment of Palestinians and attempts at judicial reform. On Sunday, Lapid, who was the government’s prime minister from July 2022 to December 2022, spoke during a meeting at the Israeli Knesset and announced that he believed that the United States is ‘no longer our closest ally,” according to the Times.

Lapid did not go into detail about what has caused the rift, but also accused current government leadership in Israel of creating a “crisis.”

“The Israeli government is leading us into this crisis, making the biggest and most dramatic changes to the regime in our history, without holding a single discussion — not even one — about the economic, security, social and political consequences of the move,” Lapid said, according to the Times.

Jewish Attacks on Christians in Israel Skyrocketing

/0 Comments/in , /by

A local Israeli reporter went undercover as a priest and was spat at several times while walking the streets of Jerusalem, Haaretz, the Israeli daily, reported.

Haaretz underlined that at a time when attacks on Christians in Jerusalem are rapidly increasing, police are reluctant to track down the perpetrators.

Channel 13’s Yossi Eli was first spat at just five minutes after setting out in the company of a Franciscan clergyman, who is identified by the paper as Father Alberto. Spitting incidents included one by a child and a soldier, as the reporter spent a day dressed as a priest in Jerusalem to investigate growing hate crimes against Christians in the city. Haaretz also reported that a man mocked them in Hebrew, saying, “Forgive me, father, for I have sinned.”

On June 15, a stained-glass window of the Cenacle, the traditional location of the Last Supper, was shattered by a rock thrown by unknown vandals.

It is one of many incidents of violence on Christian holy sites in Jerusalem that have increased in frequency and have practically become a daily occurrence, said the organizer of a June 16 conference, aimed at investigating these attacks from a religious, historical, legal and current events perspective.

New Study Confirms Biblical Accounts of the Kingdom in the West Bank

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to a study by researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Kingdom of Judah expanded earlier than was previously believed by archeologists, confirming biblical accounts.

The article, by Institute of Archeology professor Yosef Garfinkel, appeared recently in the peer-reviewed institute publication Jerusalem Journal of Archeology.

In the study, Garfinkel examines five sites in particular — Khirbet Qeiyafa, Beth Shemesh, Tell en-Naṣbeh, Khirbet ed-Dawwara and Lachish.

Garfinkel’s findings support the claim that the kingdom began expanding into the Shephelah region southwest of Jerusalem, a transitional area of rolling hills between the coastal plain to the west and the Judean Mountains to the east, as early as the 10th century BCE.

That contradicts previous beliefs that the expansion occurred in the late 9th or 8th century BCE, 200 to 300 years after the reign of King David. (Read more from “New Study Confirms Biblical Accounts of the Kingdom in the West Bank” HERE)

Israeli Woman Allegedly Attacked by Biden’s Secret Service Agent Sues

/0 Comments/in , /by

A U.S. Secret Service agent who was part of President Joe Biden’s security detail while he was visiting Israel in July is being sued for brutally assaulting an Israeli woman outside a bar in Jerusalem.

The agent, who was off-duty at the time of the alleged assault and has not been named, was detained by Israeli police and sent back to the U.S.

He was in the Israeli capital ahead of Biden’s visit the following day.

According to the lawsuit, the assailant was intoxicated when he attacked Tamar Ben-Haim in an alleyway at 1a.m. before he was pulled away by a second agent. Fox News reported the men were members of the Secret Service’s Counter Assault Team.

He allegedly “held Tamar tightly, hit her on her chest, repeatedly, slapped her, causing her earring and earphone to fall to the ground,” the complaint said. (Read more from “Israeli Woman Allegedly Attacked by Biden’s Secret Service Agent Sues” HERE)
