233 days to “Swords of Iron War”. 26.05.2024.

Nahariya, Israel. Sunday. 33 days to the count of the Omer.

Lunch

Kiryat Shemona, North Border. Again, like in the 2006 Lebanon War, it is being hit daily and hit hard. Not all of its citizens are evacuated. Holocaust Survivors, too old to relocate, and those with special needs and handicapped had stayed. Definitely not a threat to anyone. Rockets fall on them.

This afternoon, rockets from Gaza were sent to Tel Aviv and the surrounding areas. People are not afraid, they are angry:

"I live just outside of the area," Jackie  Benson writes, "that's just been attacked with a barrage of rockets from the very town we've been told to get out of and to stop protecting ourselves. Some of my children live right in the middle of the red area. TG everyone is fine but these terrorists are determined to carry out their promise to get rid of the Jewish people and the land of Israel, however they can.

And for those who have any argument with this, I'll just remind you that on October 6th we were not at war with anyone and we were certainly not looking to be at war with anyone. On October 7th we were attacked by a group (1000s) of blood-thirsty terrorists. A huge number are still hiding in terror tunnels built under homes, schools and hospitals in Gaza from where they are firing the very rockets that hit us today.

And if you still don't believe that Israel has a right to defend itself and hit back at the very people who have declared to the world that they want to wipe us off the face of the earth then please unfriend me immediately." 

My friend Jackie said it well. The rest of us agree with her and think the same.

Personally,
my prayers are the only good thing I can give in the situation. God is the only protector of our people and our land, there is no other hope.

Zechariah 2:8
For this is what the Lord Almighty says: After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye.
