Well the cease fire is over … Israel bombs Hamas targets in Gaza after arson balloon attacks By Jerusalem Post Staff June 18, 2021 01:09 The IDF attacked a number of targets in Gaza late Thursday night in response to a number of incendiary balloons that had been launched from Gaza into Israel, Palestinian media reported. Early Friday, rocket sirens were heard in Kfar Aza amid rising tensions between Israel and the Gaza-based terrorist organizations Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. No injuries were reported. The IDF reportedly warned some of the Gaza residents in advance to attacking 10 Hamas targets in the Strip, N12 news reported. The strikes were carried out near Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun, which came in response to multiple incendiary balloons launched, causing some eight fires in Israeli communities near Gaza. Fires were reported in the Sha'ar HaNegev area and throughout the Eshkol Regional Council area. Tensions between Israel and terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip have risen in the last three days, following a threat from Hamas to escalate attacks in response to the Jerusalem Flag March on Tuesday. IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi held a security briefing with top commanders and instructed them to prepare for renewed fighting with Hamas. Israel and Hamas fought for 10 days last month in what was called "Operation Guardian of the Walls." Over 4,500 rockets were fired into Israel during that conflict. "The IDF will continue to destroy terrorist infrastructure throughout Gaza and it views Hamas as being responsible for the attacks that emanate from there," the IDF said. A number of fires also broke out in southern Israel on Tuesday, with at least 20 fires sparked by incendiary balloons launched from Gaza. Earlier on Tuesday, Palestinian media published photos of terrorists preparing such balloons to launch towards Israel. The attack comes following Operation Guardian of the Walls that was conducted in mid-May. - Fair Use - Speculation can be fun. Clues can be fun. Speculation can sharpen our thinking and perceptions. Pastor Riley enjoys speculation... I don't suppose it's totally unlikely that there were sentient beings on earth more than 6000 years ago, who were therefore not human sons of Adam and Eve. But I believe God's creation of Adam and Eve was uniquely God's to perform here here on earth -- not relegated to created representatives to drop them off complete with instructions to be fruitful... But what do I know? Everything about the future, particularly about eternity, is speculation -- right? And we'll have fun fun fun once our God has taken Satan away! (think beach boys tune) :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: If this escalates and Turkey rushes to defend the Palestinians, we could see the start of the Gog Magog War and.... :flyup: Following this closely. Right on time for June 20th. Hmmm... I don’t suppose it’s totally unlikely that there were sentient beings on earth more than 6000 years ago, who were therefore not human sons of Adam and Eve. I agree. Gen 1:28 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. That’s an interesting word “replenish” … I wonder if it was referring to the fish, animal kingdom and birds because they were created before Adam and God used the words “be fruitful and multiply” for them as well? So does that mean there could have been a gap period between Genesis 1:1 and verse 2 because of the fall of satan and then God had to restore the earth again? 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. —————— 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. These verses gives me confidence those who want their fur babies to be with them in eternity will get their wish. :whistle: Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:11 - If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Fires were reported in the Sha'ar HaNegev area and throughout the Eshkol Regional Council area.
