Top headlines... preparations for war with Hezbollah are heating up, Iran is debating whether to build a nuclear bomb while Israel is reportedly conducting missile tests to strike Iran. And one democratic senator is a huge supporter of Israel!
Headline 1. Security cabinet to meet tonight, amid fears of war with Hezbollah
The security cabinet will meet tonight, an official in The Prime Minister’s Office tells The Times of Israel.
The security cabinet will convene as fears abound of a full-blown war against Hezbollah, and as the Rafah operation in Gaza looks to be nearing its end with no ceasefire deal in sight.
Headline 2 Report: US intel expects war with Hezbollah in next few weeks if Gaza ceasefire isn’t reached
It seems this coming war is inevitable. While Israel will prevail it will not be without huge consequences.
Headline 3 State comptroller warns there’s no plan to evacuate northern residents in case of war due to disagreements between ministers
The reason for the concern is based upon a story we reported yesterday, namely, Israel does not have the available weapons to protect the citizens from incoming bombs, missiles and drones. Only the military facilities will be protected because of lack of firepower to respond.
And there are other huge problems....
Headline 4 Hospitals in north stock up on blood, prepare to move patients underground
As war with Hezbollah looms, hospitals prepare for every possibility, including long power outages and being cut off from access to roads; Many doctors and other staff could be called to the front lines.
This will be very difficult for hospitals to operate with anything nearly normally should a war break out.
Headline 5 Iran’s leaders debating whether it’s time to build a nuclear bomb, NYT says, citing Iranian officials
Iran’s leadership is conducting a “strategic debate” over whether the time has come for it to start making nuclear weapons, The New York Times reports, citing four Iranian officials, including diplomats and members of Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Well, the idea that Iran is working toward a nuclear bomb that would be used to destroy Israel is the worst kept secret around. The main problem Israel faces is they seemingly do not know how close Iran would actually be for producing such a weapon.
However, what we do know, is that they will not take any chances which leads us to our next story.
Headline 6 Israel reportedly conducts missile test capable of reaching Iran
Russian military blogger claims Israel launched a ballistic missile from Palmachim base, hitting a target in the Mediterranean Sea south of Sicily.
A Russian military blogger known as "Rybar" has reported that Israel conducted a test of a ballistic missile with a range exceeding 1,700 kilometers (1,056 miles).
According to the blogger, whose reports primarily focus on the war in Ukraine, Israel launched the missile from the Palmachim base towards the Mediterranean Sea, striking a maritime area south of Italy's coast.
If this story is accurate it certainly would not be surprising. Israel has to do something to stop Iran from producing a bomb that could possibly destroy the country.
All of these things that we reported on today make it likely that a regional war may indeed take place between Israel and Lebanon with other surrogates of Iran possibly chiming in. We will just have to wait and see.
Headline 7 Visiting US Senator Fetterman: No to any deal that leaves Hamas in power
Outspoken pro-Israel Democrat says during his first trip to Israel that Biden should not have withheld bombs; backs Netanyahu address to Congress
Hooray for Senator Fetterman!
Again we emphasize, though we do not know what will happen in the short term, any regional war that may take place would not be a fulfillment of last days Bible prophecy. We deal with this in our book 25 Signs We Are Near The End, Appendix 5 What About Iran’s April 13-14 Attack Upon Israel? Could That Be The Beginning Of Ezekiel 38,39? The answer is a resounding know.
Please take advantage of all of our 65 books on our website educatingourworld including 12 on Bible Prophecy. They are all free downloads.
Please keep praying for Israel. We constantly hear from our friends in the country who are asking for prayer. Let's indeed pray for them....
