Day 417 of SWORDS OF IRON WAR.

 NAHARIYA, ISRAEL. WEDNESDAY 27.11.2024

Northern Arrows, on Lebanon's front, lay down the weapons there is a cease-fire agreement.

It is 19:25 and the last recorded siren was in Sufa, Gaza Envelope, 15 hours ago.

The cease-fire is with the Hezbollah. By the time the cease-fire agreement was signed, Israel was fighting on 7 fronts.

Nahariya 

1. Hamas in Gaza

2. Hamas, some say Palestinian Authority, in West Bank

3. Hezbollah, in Lebanon

4. Hauties, in Yemen

5. Syria

6. Iraq

7. Extremest Islamic Regime in Iran – the backing up all of them.

Lebanon front was the only one who signed a cease-fire.

In an interview on Channel 12 on Monday, opposition leader Yair Lapid said that 890 soldiers had been killed and 11,000 injured since 7 October last year.

Some say that the army concealed the real number of the dead and injured. I don't know how true it is, but the specific numbers of casualties do not matter, families were destroyed or maimed or suffered trauma or all three, all across the nation. While some rejoice in the cease-fire, others don't. “Would it hold?”

Past experiences taught us to be wary. Even our PM made sure that there is a clause with specified that no matter how small is the move from the enemy against this agreement, IDF has the right to and will retaliate immediately.

Since the agreement is only with the Lebanese front, the other six fronts continue to fight and our soldiers and the nation are still at war.

We walked 5035 steps downtown, today. I did not see nor feel joy. Not like the joy one expects in true peace. Some people had a smile on their faces, but it did not reach anyone's eyes.

I heard it said that the ceasefire is for 60 days until Trump comes into power. I don't understand the politics behind it all, but I still think that if we, as a nation, open ourselves to the power of God and let Him be in control of our lives and our situation, a true joy that reaches the eyes would be displayed on people faces and will cover their countenances.

Until then, we sort of smile and continue to hope and pray for the cease-fire to hold.

(Proverbs 8:34-35)

Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoever finds me finds life,
And obtains favour from the Lord;
