I agree this is a horrible thing. It makes me think about all of the “immigrants” that are flooding our border and how many of them are terrorists. Amazing that this coincides with the 1973 war. Also, how did they infiltrate so successfully, was there inside help because if the recent judicial conflict that Netanyahu tried to correct. God did allow it to happen, for whatever reason. Praying 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Whoa, Nellie, not so fast! From a Doves article: "The Jewish people in Israel do not use the sighting of the new moon for these festivals. I believe the new moon is how a new month should be determined, in this case, the Jewish calendar is one day off - Shemini Atzeret will begin sunset October 7 and end sunset October 8." WW65 (Lisa) did an update …. She is using (Hal Turner as a source) Despite the most advance and intelligent system in the world, Hamas was able to break thru Israel some how and get unnoticed by sophisticated Israeli surveillance gear? You can’t go to the bathroom without Israel knowing about it. Israeli border guard told me our systems could see if a bird was flying in but yet authorities want us to believe they couldn’t see dozens of Palestinians allegedly broke thru on motorized paraglides in the air? That’s impossible. Another Israeli solider told him that Mossad had no idea this gigantic operation was being planned? So about 1,000 Hamas sea base, land base, aerial attacks could have been planned coordinated and executed without somebody somewhere getting wind of it? Another Israeli solider said where did the Palestinians get the drones with armor-piercing explosives? Only Russia could have provided them …. And supposedly this is happening too …. Large group of Israeli reservist has refused to head to border with Gaza - Fair Use - So is this all setting up for God to have to come to their rescue … And we got this … more deception or just confusion? Per Fay @ 5 Doves “Revealed German tattoo artist, 30, killed by Hamas while attending a music festival before the militants paraded her body on the back of a truck and claimed she was an Israeli solider. As her devastated family say they are in a nightmare.” Per Daily Mail - Fair Use - Russian hacker group has claimed that they brought down the Iron Dome system. There is no way Hamas has enough intelligence to do something like this. It was very well planned in advance. Amir Tsarfati: Citizens in northern Israel are being advised to leave their homes. The cabinet voted in favor of invoking Article 40A, which indicates a formal declaration of war. This bold and dramatic step has not been taken since the Yom Kippur War in 1973, which emphasizes the gravity of the current situation. NTEB by Geoffrey Grider Around 600 Israelis have been murdered, and more than 2,040 wounded as Day 2 in the Gaza War reveals an unbelievable and perhaps unwinnable challenge for Netanyahu and Israel When I woke up this morning, the Israeli death toll in the Gaza War was at 400, it rose to 500 as I sipped my coffee and prepared to write this article. It was adjusted to 600 as I continued to work on the main article graphic, and I have no doubt that by the end of the day today it will pass 1,000. In addition to that, the number of wounded rose to 2,040, with over 100 people still being held as prisoners by Hamas in Gaza. Now Hezbollah has joined the fight, who’s next? “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 Videos posted to X reveal pro-Palestinian forces in Toronto, London and other cities around the world celebrating the slaughter of Jews in Israel yesterday. Makes me wonder how many Jihadi ‘sleeper cells’ have come in on the backs of the migrants illegally crossing America’s open southern border. Netanyahu has a huge problem on his hands right now, but his problem may soon be the world’s problem if this thing gets any bigger. In a move that has taken the international community by surprise, Israel’s military-political cabinet has voted to invoke Article 40 Aleph, marking an official declaration of war. This bold and dramatic step has not been taken since the 1973 ‘Yom Kippur War’, highlighting the gravity of the current situation. Israel at war day 2: IDF still working to liberate Israeli towns From The JERUSALEM POST: The IDF was still working to fully liberate a number of Israeli towns and bases and clear out Hamas terrorists from the area near the Gaza border on Sunday morning, as the war between Israel and Hamas entered its second day. Heavy armed clashes were reported in Kfar Aza, Kissufim, and Kibbutz Be’eri, with Hamas claiming that it had managed to take over the IDF base in Kissufim again. Around 600 Israelis have been murdered, and more than 2,040 wounded, amid the assault, though that number continues to jump wildly with significant uncertainty in the field. The Israeli Embassy to the United States reported on X that that some 100 soldiers and civilians had been kidnapped to Gaza and are still being held hostage. Hagari said that there were no more active known hostage situations and that the IDF had restored control in almost all areas invaded by Hamas. Despite that improved position, Hagari said that there were still a number of smaller battles and ongoing searches for terrorists who were trying to hide in invaded areas. He said that tens of thousands of IDF forces, along with special forces, were involved in the Gaza corridor fighting. Hagari expressed hope that within hours, all of the Gaza corridor would be fully cleansed of invaders, though an IDF source had said on Saturday night that this might be accomplished already in the middle of the night between Saturday and Sunday. Moreover, Hagari said that the IDF had started gradually evacuating civilians from the Gaza corridor areas, but that this would take time. The IDF plans to bring in large numbers of buses for the evacuation, but each village is only being evacuated once security forces are confident that there will not be a group ambush from Hamas terrorists who may have remained within Israel in hiding even as most forces retreated to Gaza. Early Sunday afternoon, the IDF announced that it had started evacuations of: Urim, Beeri, Nahal Oz, Zikim, Erez, Nir Am, Miflasim, Kfar Aza, Gabim, Or Haner, Ibim, Netiv Haasara, Yad Mordechai, Karmiya, Kerem Shalom, Kissufim, Holit, Sufa, Nirim, Nir Oz, Ein Haslosha, Nir Yitzhak, Magen, Reeim, Saad, and Alumim. Additional villages will be evacuated as the IDF achieves secure conditions for those other evacuations. In addition, the IDF noted that since last night it has thwarted at least five attempts by Hamas naval commandos to penetrate into Israel from the sea near Zikim beach. On Sunday afternoon, Hamas spokesperson Abu Obaida claimed that the terrorist movement’s al-Qassam Brigades had sent additional forces into Israeli territory. In addition, Hagari said that the IDF would continue non-stop airstrikes on Gaza terror command and weapons centers, with the attacks having started in high volumes midday on Saturday. - Fair Use - ———————- Tomorrow in NYC 🙁 NTEB by Geoffrey Grider AOC’s Democratic Socialists Planning To Hold ‘All Out For Palestine’ Rally In New York City Today In Support Of Hamas Terrorists Killing Israelis The NYC rally titled ‘All Out for Palestine’ is being organized by multiple pro-Palestine organizations at Times Square in support of the attack on Israel by Hamas militants. “Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.” Zephaniah 3:8 I suppose that we might see AOC visit the rally to show support, certainly the rest of the squad like Ilhan Omar and her buddies will want to stop by. Maybe even famed Socialist Bernie Sanders will volunteer to man the podium and rally the troops to action. As me for and my house, we will do as we have always done and stand with the Jews, pray for Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem, and remind the Lord that it’s time to come and get us as He has promised to do. Until then, we preach the gospel of the kingdom of God, and fill more seats on Flight 777! NY Gov. calls plans for PRO-PALESTINE rally in Times Square tomorrow ‘repugnant’ in wake of Hamas terror attacks From THE DAILY MAIL UK: New York Governor Kathy Hochul has condemned the pro-Palestine rally planned for Times Square on Sunday amid calls for her to cancel the event from being held in a city with the biggest Jewish population in the world. Hochul described the rally as abhorrent and morally repugnant in a post she made on X, formerly Twitter after Hamas militants invaded Israel and slaughtered hundreds of citizens. ‘The people of Israel are facing violent terrorist attacks and civilian kidnappings. I condemn plans to rally in Times Square tomorrow in support of the perpetrators of these horrific actions,’ she said. Hochul was not alone in criticizing and denouncing the attacks and the planned rally. Congressman Ritchie Torres called one of the groups conducting the rally ‘an anti-Semitic stain on the soul of America’s largest city.’ The NYC-DSA is planning to hold a rally tomorrow, glorifying the terrorism of Hamas as ‘resistance’,’ he said on X. ‘Never mind the hundreds of Israeli civilians and children who have been murdered, wounded, abducted, and terrorized. Their lives mean nothing to the DSA. Nothing. The NYC-DSA is revealing itself for what it truly is: an antisemitic stain on the soul of America’s largest city. There is a special place in hell for those who glorify the cold-blooded murder of civilians and children.’ Ex-Deputy Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism at Department of State, Ellie Cohanim denounced the rally on X. Mayor Adams, who on Saturday was in the Colombian port town of Necocli, tweeted in support of Israel. ‘New York City has the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, and we stand side by side with Israel every day — but we do so with extra resolve tonight,’ he said. The Jewish population in New York City is the largest in the world, with 1.77 million Jews living across the city according to 2023 data. The City’s iconic Empire State Building was also lit up in blue and white, colors of Israel’s flag on Saturday night in support of the country. - Fair Use - Amir Tsarfati More from the report: Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas's surprise attack on Israel on Saturday and gave the green light for the attack at a meeting in Beirut last Monday, according to senior Hamas and Hezbollah officials. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers have been working with Hamas since August to plan the air, land and sea invasion. The details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut, in which Revolutionary Guard officers and representatives of four militant groups supported by Iran, including Hamas, and Hezbollah participated. Starts @ 2:28 :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn Turkey now involved and is giving the U.S. a warning, “Stay Out” Bibi telling Israeli’s’ leave Egypt. - Fair Use - From Amir Tsarfati's email newsletter: It was 6:30 AM on a beautiful Saturday Sabbath morning. All over Israel, people were sleeping in on this final day of Sukkot, the joyous Feast of Tabernacles. In southern Israel, just five kilometers from the border with Gaza, an all-night rave with more than 1000 young people attending was just starting to wind down. Little did these people know that into the serenity of this day, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas was about to launch a multi-level, comprehensive attack using capabilities that had never been employed against Israel before. Drones were launched that dropped bombs on the Israeli military outposts along the border fence, immediately neutralizing the ground-level chain of command along Gaza. Thus, there was no one left to report to the higher levels of leadership what was taking place. At the same time, rockets began to fire from Gaza into Israel, first hundreds, then thousands. The firing of rockets was not unusual. What was atypical was the huge number of missiles that made it past the Iron Dome defense system. All this was taking place to mask the third prong of attack, one that has never before occurred from Gaza. The border fence was breached and, in places, completely torn down. More than a thousand terrorists began pouring through the holes, some in cars and trucks, many on motorcycles. They came to hunt Jews. One of the first groups they found were the young people at the rave. The terrorists surrounded the partygoers and opened fire. More than 260 were slaughtered. Others were rounded up and taken back into Gaza as hostages. Meanwhile, in the towns and kibbutzim along the border, families were waking up to pounding on their doors. When they answered, they were murdered in cold blood. Once again, many others were kidnapped back across the border. Once the gunfire began, the first responders were police, firefighters, and EMTs. Many of them were killed as they tried to defend the innocent civilians. Where was the military response? First, as we saw earlier, the border echelon of communication was severed. Second, when rockets were fired in the past, it was often a ruse to mask terrorists who attempted to cross into Israel from Lebanon in the north. Thus, many of the special military units were heading in the wrong direction. It took four hours for the military to mount a concerted response, which was eventually dubbed Operation Iron Sword. By that time, the carnage was devastating. Bodies of Jewish civilians littered the streets. A still unknown number were kidnapped and taken hostage into Gaza. Women, children, the elderly, no one was spared the violence of these Palestinian criminals. Not since the Holocaust have we seen so many Jews rounded up, beaten, and humiliated in public. And never before has it happened within the borders of modern Israel. Eventually, once the tide of battle had turned, the terrorists fled back into Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) followed them in. Hamas members, from the top leaders down to the soldiers, were targeted, as were their headquarters, warehouses, and homes. This is all part of a three-level response by the Israeli military. The first level is to purify Israel of all terrorists. Anyone who crossed the border as part of this attack and is still in Israel needs to either be arrested or killed. The second level is to take from Hamas and other terrorist organizations that threaten Israel all their military capabilities. To accomplish this, Israel’s government has invoked Article 40 of the Basic Laws, which amounts to a declaration of war. Last time Article 40 was used was in 1973 for the Yom Kippur War. This will allow the IDF to use all air, ground, and naval forces to accomplish this feat. The third level of Israel’s response is to hold accountable the countries that assisted Hamas in this attack. Hamas is neither equipped nor sophisticated enough to have pulled this off alone. Most automatically look to Iran, but U.S. intelligence says the ayatollahs were not involved. The question we have to ask is who has jamming equipment advanced enough to nullify the protection of the Iron Dome? Also, what country has effectively used drones to drop bombs on targets? The answer is Russia. . . . . Israel must eliminate Hamas. To do so, the IDF must stop caring what the world will say and what the media will say. The gloves must come off. . . . . With our intelligence services being among the best in the world, the bottom-line questions are, first, how could we possibly not know about this attack? Pray for Israel. Pray for the families who have lost loved ones. Pray for the captives and the wounded.
The prospect of another front with Hezbollah is high!

IDF Chief Spokesman Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari on Sunday morning said that the military is in the process of calling up hundreds of thousands of reservists in preparation for an eventual ground counter-invasion of Gaza, the largest call up in decades. In Operation Protective Edge in 2014, the IDF’s ground invasion only took place during the second week of the war Despite that call-up there was no timeline on when the counter invasion of Gaza – following Hamas’ massive invasion of Israel’s Gaza border villages Saturday morning – would start. The sense from Hagari was that the focus Sunday would still be completing retaking control of any of the 22 villages and 29 entry points which Hamas used to invade Israel a day earlier.
It has been both fascinating and repugnant to watch the show of support for the Hamas terrorists who launched the biggest attack against Israel in over half a century yesterday. Videos taken in places like Toronto and London showing people dancing in the streets in support of Hamas were all over X yesterday. Now in New York City, Democratic Socialists are seen preparing an ‘All Out For Palestine’ Rally in Times Square.
The Wall Street Journal reports: Iran gave the final approval to the war waged by Hamas and Jihad last Monday in Beirut
Pray for wisdom for Prime Minister Netanyahu and the government as they mete out their response against Hamas and evaluate the steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Most of all, pray that God is glorified somehow through this.
