Looks like Israel is no longer playing games.

NETANYAHU: THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. Israeli News Update - March 19, 2025

We are living in the last days. The Middle East is on the brink of total war. 

Tom still senses October 7, 2023 was the start that will lead to the prophesied end times of the beginning of the tribulation with the signing of Daniel 9:27 covenant. Those that are saved in Jesus will be out of here, will not see that. 

Times of Israel: Netanyahu addressed the country yesterday on their TV. He said the military campaign was launched on the recommendation of Israel intelligence services and IDF. That it was a last resort after failed efforts to get Hamas to free more hostages. It was to be a multiphase ceasefire. It is believed there are still 59 hostages which they think only 24 are still alive. Netanyahu said from now on negotiations will be conducted only under fire. He said this is only the beginning.

Times of Israel: Hamas health authorities report 400 Palestinians have been killed including several top members of the terror group.

Netanyahu also said that Hamas is responsible for this war. It invaded our towns, murdered our people, raped our women, and kidnapped our loved ones. Hamas refused offer after offer. In the past 2 weeks Israel did not initiate any military action in the hope Hamas would change course. That did not happen. While Israel accepted the offer of Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff Hamas flatly refused to do so. That is why I authorized yesterday the renewal of military action against Hamas. Israel does not target Palestinian citizens. We target Hamas terrorists and when these terrorists have embed themselves in civilian areas and use civilians as human shields, they are the ones responsible for unintended casualties. Palestinian civilians should avoid any contact with Hamas terrorists and they call on the people of Gaza to get out of harms way. Move to a safer area because every civilian casualty is a tragedy and the fault of Hamas. Thanks to President Trump for his unwavering support of Israel. Our alliance with US has never been stronger. To those who criticize Israel I ask what would you do if terrorists murdered and kidnapped your children. You would do what we are doing. In the face of pure evil free societies have no choice but to fight. Wants to assure our friends around the world, Israel will fight, Israel will win. We will bring our people home and we will destroy Hamas. We will not relent until we have achieved all these goals and not rest until we give our country a future of peace, prosperity and hope. 

Yesterday Israel blasted the UN Secretary General over his latest criticism of Israel strikes on Gaza. He said he is enraged by Israel air strikes on Gaza and appeals for ceasefire to be respected and humanitarian aid to be reestablished. For remaining hostages to be released unconditionally. 

Israel foreign minister responded, told them he is outraged. Told them they heard not a word about the fact Hamas rejected 2 American proposals to extend ceasefire and release the hostages. 2 proposals Israel accepted. Not a word that Hamas expects the transfer of goods to Gaza to rebuild its war machine to further attack Israel. Not a word about UNRWA which under your leadership employs Hamas terrorists and its facilities were used by Hamas to hold hostages. Says indeed we are outraged by your moral bankruptcy.

US state department said Hamas is stalling the deal before us, forcing Palestine to suffer consequences. The pillars of our approach remains steadfast to stand with Israel and stand for peace.

Israel is striking at Hamas and US is striking at Houthis.

Israel Today: it is noted that Hamas is no where to be seen, leaving the civilian population to rule and face the consequences. 

Israel threatens for every hostage that Hamas harms we will annex more territory. 

Amir says Qatar is reporting Egypt has rushed to present an urgent proposal for ceasefire in Gaza with humanitarian aid introduced for release of several injured hostages and civilians with dual citizenship. Also Rafah crossing would be open for exit of wounded people from Gaza. 

Amir mentions Hezbollah condemned the war in Gaza but is keeping quiet over threats to renew their war in the north front.

Yemen fired a ballistic missile to the south part of Israel. It got shot down and landed in Saudi Arabia. 

Israel Radar: Houthis threaten to escalate attacks on Israel demanding Israel to stop its military action and allow unrestricted aid to flow to Gaza (Hamas). 

Israel is strengthening its defense  and ready to retaliate.

Times of Israel: Houtihis say they struck US aircraft carrier with a missile for the 4th time in the Red Sea, firing on US warships in 72 hours. Tom says still no US reports.

Beginning of Sorrows: IDF is currently dropping leaflets near Khan Yunis. 

Insider paper: Trump and Putin on the phone for 1 1/2 hours to discuss the ceasefire plan with Ukraine. It could involve forcing Ukraine to give some territory to Russia. They agreed on a halt against Russian attacks on Ukraine energy.

Amir said last night Russia launches one of the largest suicide drone attacks of the entire war. Hit energy facilities with blackouts.

Tom gives Gospel and tells of the love of our Savior to give His life so we may live forever with Him in heaven when we believe and receive. Do not delay this most important decision of your life.
