News, last 24 hours in Israel:

IDF says 1,300 targets were bombed across Lebanon yesterday where cruise missiles, drones and rockets with one ton warheads were located.  4 Hezbollah terrorists known for anti- Israel incitement were killed in the strike and also several more Hezbollah leaders. The death toll in Lebanon rises to 325 with approximately 1,200 wounded. Many strikes into N. Israel with no reports of casualties or injuries. Israel officials say 50% of Hezbollah’s missiles have been destroyed. 

Netanyahu said yesterday, we do not wait for a threat, we anticipate it. Everywhere, and every time. We eliminate officials, terrorists, missiles. Whoever tries to hurt us we hurt even more. Promises to change security balance in the north, as they are doing. Destroyed thousands of missiles and rockets aimed at Israel cities and citizens. Facing complex days. Asks Israel citizens to obey directives of home front command. It saves lives. To stand together with determination, responsibility and patience. Together we fight and with God’s help together we will win. 

To the people of Lebanon yesterday Netanyahu said, I have a message, Israel’s war is not with you, it is with Hezbollah. For too long Hezbollah has been using you as human shields as its placed rockets in your living rooms and missiles in your garage. Those are aimed directly at Israel cities and citizens. To defend our people against Hezbollah strikes we must take out those weapons. Says starting as of this morning have been warning you to get out of harm’s way now, take it seriously. Don’t let Hezbollah endanger Lebanon. Once this operation is finished can come back safely to your homes. 

Tom says people in Lebanon are leaving in mass exit, cars running out of gas in traffic jams. Going north or to Syria.

Bubba says there are reports of explosions at missile manufacturing plants east of Tehran in Iran. Israel Mossad doing all it can to prevent nuclear ams and rockets from being launched.

Amir said yesterday Israel caused Hezbollah shock and awe. 

Tom Says Hezbollah is thrown off with the pager attacks, leaders hunted down and paranoid of what may happen next. They can’t communicate with each other well and Israel is attacking them. 

Reports yesterday 2,000 bombs were dropped in Lebanon. Before the war the airforce said it could drop about 3,000 munitions a day, so it is using about 75% activation of fire. 

Israel Today: IDF reports overnight with Hezbollah rocket barrages only 20 missiles crossed into Israel. Comments that for months experts warned if war broke out Israel would be hit by thousands of rockets every day. Says it shows Hezbollah capabilities have been severely degraded. IDF experts to intensify arterial assault today.

Reports Hezbollah’s weapon building and command center targets were struck by Israel. They contained a large amount of weapons and showed many explosions when hit.

Reports Iran’s president said yesterday its ally Hezbollah cannot stand alone against Israel which carried out its deadliest day of air strikes on Lebanon since 2006. He said Hezbollah cannot stand alone against a country that is being defended and supported by Western and European countries and the US. 

The leaflets sent to residents in Lebanon in Becca Valley have a code that gives information on how to get out and other information. Hezbollah told them not to scan it and says if they do all the information from their phone will be erased, which is a propaganda lie.

IDF spokesman says Hezbollah’s plan is to turn S. Lebanon into a battlefield for attacks on Israel. 

Israel calls its operation, “northern arrows.”

Amir reports a Sr Israel official said yesterday after the attacks Hezbollah now only had half the precision guided missiles they had and 1/4 rockets. Their ability to fire coordinated barrage of rockets and missiles at the same time that would overwhelm Israel air defenses system is severely damaged. 

Amir says in an Israeli air strike the head of Hezbollah’s missiles was just killed there. 

As leaders gathered for the UN General Assembly in New York a US senior official said the US is presenting its ideas to its allies on how to ease the Lebanon crises and that US is opposed to Israel ground invasion.

While focus is on Israel and elections things are going on in NY at the UN meeting. It just adopted the pact for the future which lays the foundation for a new global order. Unnoticed, there was very little public debate about accepting this document, it passed quickly and easily. 

The president of UN general assembly said the pact would lay the foundation for a sustainable, just, peaceful, global order for people and nations. The pact covered issues such as peace and security, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth and future generations and transfer of global governance.

China says it strongly opposes Israel large scale air attack on Lebanon and supports Lebanon. Kremlin also speaks against Israel attacks on Lebanon, says it could be very dangerous and destabilize the area.

Weather: tropical storm watch for Florida and Louisiana. Looks to be a hurricane on Thursday. Hurricane Helene. Tom says pray, it may be major. 

Tom shares article from Forbes where an audio podcast can be produced where the speakers are just generated from information, not actual people. Sounds like real people, can’t tell the difference. 

Jesus is coming soon, the world is not sustainable.

Gospel:

Time is short to believe and accept Jesus for salvation. For forgiveness of sins and ready to go in the rapture. 

Jesus , perfect Lamb of God without sin took away all sins for us on the cross. He died, shed His blood to remove every sin, past present and future. Admit of being a sinner and believe in faith and receive what Jesus did for us. Nothing we do, or can do, He did it all, a free gift. 

1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 , the Gospel. 

Be saved today, born again, filled with Holy Spirit, changed and rapture ready. Will not be here at the 7 year tribulation. Will be with the family of God in heaven forever.
