August 16, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – The decision has been made by Hezbollah!

Scriptures about the word life. There are so many verses about life, Jesus gives us life. 

Psalm 121: 7-8 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil. He shall preserve your soul. He shall preserve your going out and coming in from this time and forever more.  

Mark 8: 36 What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and looses his soul. 

Psalm 31: 3 You are my rock and my fortress, therefore for Your name’s sake lead me and guide me. 

Psalm 23: 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. 

Only because of Jesus we need not fear. He is coming, sooner than we think. 

Israel News:

This is the second day of ceasefire talks. Hezbollah deputy chief says the decision has been made. Reports say Hezbollah says it is determined for an attack to Israel. Bubba reports after he made that comment US and Israel intelligence are detecting increased movements of Hezbollah throughout Lebanon through the night. Say looks like Hezbollah could carry out attacks on their own. Israel has commented it would strike first if it had evidence of an attack coming. 

The US warned Iran could attack Israel with little or no early warning, possibly in the coming days. They admit neither US or Israel has any indication of what they plan.

Remarks were made when US envoy went to Beirut Lebanon.  The  Hezbollah deputy chief said the visit brought nothing, no suggestions. Said again Hezbollah will retaliate against Israel. 

The talks continue today although Hamas is not there. Hamas has made it clear  for complete, full withdrawal of IDF from Gaza before  any hostages to be released.

Israel is standing firm on its position the war is not yet completed. Says they will not leave the Gaza Sinai border at this time. Says very little chance of a deal despite what the US officials are saying. Arab sources say no progress .

Tom says there is talk of continuing the talks this weekend. 

Israel is demanding 33 live hostages to be released and ongoing IDF presence on Gaza Egypt border. Hamas rejects.

Last night Jewish vigilantes entered a Palestinian village in Samaria and set fires to cars and houses. Netanyahu immediately condemned this and told the Israeli’s not to take the law in their own hands. Jewish residences feel the security forces are not doing enough for its safety.
