NOTE: Do not share this material with those who are not of like mind; especially those who are hostile to our faith and values. There are individuals and organizations, who would like to keep this voice from speaking and from being heard. Please use Divine discernment. Thank you so much!
Shalom!
It was another busy night and day for the IDF. As badly as Hamas has been wounded, and set back, rockets and mortars are still coming out of Gaza. I wait until the end of each day to write to you, in the hope that I can give you the latest information. So far tonight, it’s quiet.
CEASEFIRE SOON?
Egypt has been brokering a truce between Israel and Hamas. Hamas is ready for that, but Israel is not quite there. Bibi Netanyahu has made it clear that Israel will not bend to pressure from the USA or from other international powers, when it comes to setting the time and terms for a ceasefire. This will be Israel’s decision. With the potential for a ceasefire coming as soon as this Thursday or Friday, it’s important that the Israeli forces “clean out” as much terror infrastructure, terror weapons, and terror personnel before it all comes to a halt. Two more key terrorists need to be taken out … Mohammad Deif, and Sunuar. They are vicious terror leaders, who serve as orchestrators, planners, and facilitators of violence, as well incitement mongers against the Jews. If they are not removed from the scene, they will be lifted up as heroes, who will again inspire a whole new crop of young Moslems, to enter into the life of Hamas hatred and terror.
On an additional note: Two Israeli families have endured having the bodies of their beloved sons (who had fallen in the war with Gaza 7 years ago), being held in the clutches of Hamas all these years. The bodies of Oron Shaul, and Hadar Goldin, have been held by Hamas, as commodities for ransom, whenever they wanted something from Israel. Hadar was captured during a Hamas ceasefire with Israel, making it doubly evil and deceitful. The families of these warriors need the closure of burying their sons with honor. Furthermore, Israel doesn’t need to have Hamas holding these remains as a bargaining chip, or as blackmail, over Israel’s head. It’s wicked! It’s time for these bodies to be returned. All these years, Hamas has refused to comply with the requests for their return from of individuals and agencies. It’s time to have Hamas stripped of the power to hold them, and for the families of these soldiers to find peace. The terms of this ceasefire need to include the return of these two bodies. No more delay. Hamas is low right now. This terror group needs to be forced to comply, without any benefit being given to them for making the return.
--Pray that YHVH would give the IDF success in finding Deif and Sunuar before the ceasefire comes into reality.
--Pray that YHVH would point out every hidden thing that needs to be destroyed, or taken down, in Gaza before the truce begins.
--Pray that Israel will set up harsh conditions in this ceasefire, and include every wise and essential term needed for a successful agreement.
--Pray that terms, regarding the disarming of Hamas, and condemnation of Iran for its roll in arming Hamas, will be part of the deal.
--Pray that YHVH would set watchers over the crossings between Gaza and Egypt, so that the tunnels and entry points there, will not be used to rebuilt Hamas firepower and influence.
--Pray that the EU, the UN, and etc. will not rush in and start throwing money at Hamas to rebuild Gaza. Accountability needs to be in the truce terms as well as contingencies put into place, should Hamas ever attack Israel again. This cyclical attack strategy of Hamas must end here.
--As Israel makes these final days really count in this Operation, pray that the IDF will continue to keep an eye on the northern borders; watching against any surprise attacks from anyone.
--Pray protect over all the IDF, IAF, Navy and all other Israeli warriors, and for them to be given a time of rest and refreshment after this operation is over.
--Pray for rest, refreshment, and healing for all those Israelis, who have lived under this week’s threats, and suffered losses over these difficult days.
--Pray for YHVH to bring forth Israel’s 7-fold restitution, according to Prove 6:31, for all that has been stolen from her.
--Once the ceasefire is in effect, pray for the Israelis to begin rebuilding wisely. Pray for the funds to be provided for that to happen.
--Pray that any unexploded rockets or mortars would be found, and dealt with, before anyone gets hurt by them … especially the children.
--Pray that the ceasefire terms will include the return of Shaul and Goldin’s remains. Pray that NO reward will be given to Hamas for doing so. It must be a price, not an opportunity, for Hamas. Compliance must be a cost for their attacks this week, not a reward for evil action taken 7 years ago. Pray that the return of the bodies will bring closure and shalom to their families.
An Interesting NOTE: During these last years of “civil” war in Syria, over 207,000 civilians have lost their lives from missiles and rocket fire sent against them. 25,000 of those killed were children. Where are/were the voices of condemnation and accountability for the criminals, who conducted that slaughter? Where are/were the protests in the streets of the nations, and the charges of crimes against humanity filed? Where are/were the wealthy Hollywood celebs condemning Assad, Iran and other players in that blatant, drawn out, operation of senseless civilian slaughter? The silence is rather telling. Israel is the one that is held to a separate standard, and weighed upon a corrupted balance scale. One of these days, the Lord will arise and state His position regarding these matters.
THE DAY OF RAGE!
We were warned by the Lord to pray against a dangerous outbreak of violence today. It was a threat called forth by the Palestinian Authority … as a day for acting out in violence against Jews (in all areas and in all locations), to be a sign of bloody support for Hamas and the people of Gaza. While the Day of Rage did present some serious violence today, Jerusalem was largely quieter than expected. The Arabs protested in East Jerusalem by boycotting businesses. In other areas of the country there was more physical violence. The Lord and the IDF thwarted a dangerous terror attack in Hebron. A Palestinian terrorist approached a group of IDF soldiers, carrying a pipe bomb, a Carlo submachine gun, and a knife in his hands. The man tried to fire the machine gun at the soldiers, but blessedly/miraculously it jammed. In the next second the pipe bomb that the terrorist was carrying, suddenly blew up in his own hands. Demonstrating to us, that demons were operating within this terrorist, the wounded terrorist kept forcefully advancing against the soldiers until they finally shot him dead. There was another report of a terrorist carrying an explosive device to a site, but that device also prematurely detonated, instantly killing the man. Surely, the angels of the Lord are actively defending the Jewish people. Just days ago, we prayed for “work accidents”. We have just seen the fruit of those prayers. In addition to riots and vandalism in various places throughout Israel, supporters of Gaza gathered at the Lebanese and Jordanian borders, but were restrained from violence by their own military forces … and discouraged by the presence of the IDF.
--Praise YHVH for His mercy in keeping the Day of Rage less destructive than it was expected to be. Pray that He will bring shame down on the heads of the people, who called for this day of bloodshed and hatred.
--Praise YHVH for intervening, miraculously, today in foiling terror attacks that would have taken Jewish lives, and given the glory for the deaths to their Islamic god.
--Pray for full healing to come to all those, who were wounded today in the riots as they were attacked by angry Arabs.
--Praise YHVH that the protests at the borders didn’t get out of hand.
--Pray for YHVH to pour out living water on the hot fires of hatred that are still smoldering throughout the Land. ENOUGH! Stop the rage!
CASUALTY REPORTS:
This report from the Magen David Adom (akin to the Red Cross for Israel) released today, gives this summary accounting of Israeli casualties during “Operation Guardian of the Walls” up until now:
**12 were killed from direct rocket impacts, 2 died after falling while running to shelter.
**114 wounded from shrapnel and flying glass; arising from direct rocket impacts … 7 in serious condition … 12 in moderate condition … 95 in mild condition.
**198 people were wounded from falling while running to the bomb shelters … 1 seriously, 5 in moderate condition, and 192 in mild condition.
**226 were treated for anxiety
Just from today, MDA, EMTs, and paramedics report:
12 people were injured … 10 of those by shattering glass and shrapnel from explosions. Two of those injured (in their 30’s) were killed. 1 was severely wounded, 1 moderately and 6 mildly injured. 2 people were treated by MDA after running to the bomb shelter. 2 others were treated for stress symptoms.
Certainly, there are likely more wounded, but being treated by family members … and multitudes more suffering from anxiety/stress, or from post-traumatic stress syndrome. The MDA and other Emergency personnel have done an amazing job of getting to the wounded, and treating, or transporting them, quickly. We need to keep in mind that they do their jobs while under fire; risking their own lives to save others. Bless them, Lord!
ENGAGEMENTS WITH THE ENEMY:
To save time, I will copy the IDF action report below, rather than describe what has been happening.
**110 munitions and 62 fighter jets: overnight, the IAF struck approximately 65 terror targets in the Gaza Strip as part of the fourth strike on the Hamas ‘Metro’ tunnel system.
**Additionally, we struck the houses of five commanders in the Hamas terror organization, terror infrastructure, rocket launchers aimed at Israeli civilians, and more.
**As of 7:00 AM today, since the beginning of operation "Guardian of the Walls", approximately 3,440 rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip at Israeli territory, of which approximately 500 failed launches fell in the Gaza Strip.
**The Iron Dome Air Defense System has an intercept rate of approximately 90% of those rockets which were headed for populated areas.
**Overnight, IAF fighter jets and aircraft struck military assets in Rimal, western Gaza City.
**IAF fighter jets and aircraft struck a number of rocket launching sites aimed at Tel Aviv, Ashkelon and citizens across Israel.
**IAF fighter jets and aircraft struck the Hamas terror organization's 'Metro' tunnel system in the northern Gaza Strip for the fourth time. In the strike, approximately 65 terror targets were struck by 62 IDF fighter jets using approximately 110 guided armaments.
**Five Hamas commanders' residences were struck across the Gaza Strip. The residences were used as terror infrastructure, and some were used as command and control centers. The five include; the residence of the West Jabalia Battalion commander, the residence of a Jubala Regiment company commander, the residence of the Zeitoun Regiment company commander, the residence of a senior member of the Hamas naval force and military infrastructure within the residence of a Hamas terror organization operational support operative.
**Additionally, the IAF struck a Hamas anti-tank squad in Gaza City.
The Hamas terror organization proves yet again that it deliberately places military targets in the heart of densely populated civilian areas in the Gaza Strip. The IAF takes all possible precautions to avoid harming civilians during its operational activity.
The IAF continues to strike terror targets in the Gaza Strip and will continue operating with force when necessary
Here are some Operation Guardian of the Walls updated numbers provided near the end of the day:
--820+ terror targets hit
--130+ terrorist eliminated
--3360+ rockets fired into Israel
--600 injured treated by Magan David Adom
--Praise the Lord for the many miracles that have occurred during this Guardian of the Walls operation.
--Praise the Lord for all the accurate intelligence, and the accurate hits, that have depleted Hamas supplies, and their abilities to harm the Jewish people.
--Praise the Lord for the cooperation between the Israeli government and military during this operation.
--Pray that a new, strong and enduring Israeli government will form after this. Pray for healing in the rifts and offenses that have built up. Pray that this battle has sorted all that out, and brought new, deeper, revelation about how to live, and to thrive, as a nation under constant threat.
--Pray for the Israeli Arabs to return to, or to come to, a greater revelation about the reality of Israel in relation to her God. The Fear of YHVH would be a good thing to acquire/have.
--Praise the Lord for the many brave MDA and EMT medics, who did their jobs so well. May they continue to work under the protection of the Lord, with great skill, as these days unfold.
--Praise the Lord for the great wisdom and skill demonstrated by the IDF and IAF in all areas and situations.
--Praise the Lord for the very low death rate, and for the amazing success of the Iron Dome system.
--Pray for shattered minds to heal. Wash away the effects of dread fear and horrific images. Let the shalom of YHVH come to remove all PTSD and trauma.
--Pray for grieving families to receive the comfort of the Lord, to hold their hearts amid their losses. Pray for the Messiah to reveal Himself, and for the Father’s love to be felt deeply.
--Pray for the healing of the Land itself, and of all its livestock and wildlife that have been traumatized by this war. Pray for all to recover quickly. So often I have thought of the dairy cows that provide income for the people of Nahal Oz. That community has been pounded for over a week … day and night. Their livestock must be a terrified mess.
--Pray that any/all losses suffered by all Jewish communities … whether income, property, crops, or cattle will be compensated.
--Pray for the angels of the Lord to be permanently on watch, and on guard, throughout Israel.
--Pray for all things to be ordered by the Lord, and accomplished according to His plan, before this Operation is ended.
THE RESPONSE OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY:
Israel is blessed to have solid, vocal, visible, support from the nations of Hungary, Romania, Austria, The Czech Republic, and Bulgaria regarding this conflict. The Christian Democratic Union party of Germany has come out strongly in support of Israel, as have other parties and a few other nations. Some members of the international community have merely been quiet. Mr. Biden has stopped short of telling Netanyahu to stop the shelling. That’s good, because Bibi would not comply. Israel continues to do what she needs to do … and in the process, continues to make their responses, to terrorists and attacks, as safe as possible for the innocent civilians of Gaza. The trouble is: It’s hard to know, who in Gaza is innocent. After all, the people voted Hamas into power, and agreed with its agenda to kill the Jews and to seize the Land of Israel for the glory of their god. Never the less, Israel wages war in a righteous manner unparalleled in other nations.
Many nations and international bodies are calling for Israel to use restraint, while others are accusing Israel of making a disproportionate response to the rockets. Disproportionate? Nearly 4000 rockets have been fired at Israel’s civilian populations, towns, and cities in just over a week! But that doesn’t constitute Israel’s right to bomb Gaza, and to destroy building and infrastructure of the Palestinian territory, according to AOC, Ilhan Omar, various Hollywood celebrities, and many others … particularly those in the mainstream media!! Here’s the deal! NO NATION IN THE WORLD WOULD EVER TOLERATE THIS KIND OF ATTACK … and certainly not one every few years. Furthermore, if Israel did not have its brilliant Iron Dome defense system, many thousands of Israelis would be dead and horrifically injured right now! But that seems to be OK with much of the world. Big and powerful Israel, is committing “crimes against humanity” in their arrogant assessments!! NO, Israel IS NOT! Let me see if I get this right: The Palestinians hate us because we are alive … and the global community hates us because we refuse to lay down and die! What we’re seeing, and hearing, are anti-Semites and humanist globalists pitching a fit … whether they are Moslems or Gentiles of any sort. Even some globalist, left-wing, Jews are condemning Israel. These Jews want so much to fit in with the rest of the world, and be rid of the JEW label, that they turn against their own people to prove that they are far better than Israel, and no part of her. Anti-Semitic Jews are attacking their own people. It’s like an auto-immune disease: when your own body attacks the cells of your body, as if those natural cells are foreign invaders and deadly enemies. It’s SICK! So where is the outcry against Hamas … an internationally recognized terror organization? Hamas is firing rockets at CIVILIAN POPULATIONS, and launching them from within schools, homes, hospitals, etc. … using Palestinian civilians as human shields. Both of those are serious crimes against humanity according to international law. So, what is going on here? Hummmm … could it be that the global Humanist, Luciferian cabal is promoting this crisis, in the hope of it expanding into a regional war, which would utterly destroy Israel, and rid the world of countless other “unnecessary human parasites” in the Middle East? That’s their term, not mine. They want to have total control and rule over the globe, but without having to deal with so many worthless people. I wonder how many in the world are really connecting with the realities here … connecting the World Economic Forum’s Global Reset agenda with their Covid scheme, and then with more orchestrated depopulation through wars and conflicts between people groups. They are so evil and so deceitful! We need the God of Israel to intervene!
--Pray for the Lord to SHAKE the nations, so that the that people of the world will wake up. The Genesis 12 text that says, “I will bless those, who bless you (Israel), but those who curse you, I WILL BITTERLY CURSE” is truth. This text is to be taken very seriously!
-- Praise the Lord, and ask His blessing to fall upon those nations and individuals, who are standing in support of Israel, and condemning the actions of Hamas.
--Pray that true justice will arise, that that the evil committed by Hamas would be condemned, charged and ended.
--Pray to stop and to correct the uneven balance scales that always measure against Israel.
--Pray that the Lord would deal with the members of the US Congress, who are condemning Israel and cheering for her enemies. They need to be removed from voice and power.
--Pray that the “handlers” of Mr. Biden will not make him declare words of condemnation against Israel, or try to control her. Bring divine justice into that matter of American leadership as well, Lord.
--Pray for an outpouring of revelation and the Holy Spirit upon the followers of Islam around the globe. They need to be delivered and brought into the truth. We don’t want them to perish as deceived pawns of satan.
--Pray for more nations to wake up to the calling, to the place, and to the role of Israel and the Jewish people in our world. They are rejecting YHVH’s gift that has been a great blessing to the world, and which continues to be so.
--Pray for the deceived and compromised Jews that stand against their own blood. Pray for them to get a revelation of the truth, and to be purged from the global propaganda, Godless progressivism, and anti-Semitism that they have adopted. Pray to silence the false Jews, who have no part, and want no part, with YHVH, His word, or His people. Turn them if possible. Silence them if not. They are a big part of the problem.
--Pray that the leaders of Israel would hear and follow only the instructions of YHVH … and only His mandates regarding this conflict, battle, and ceasefire.
I will leave you at this point and give you time to pray, and to do some research from the sites listed below if you wish. Let’s keep pressing until all is accomplished and concluded! Never doubt that our prayers have been heard, and applied effectively to impact this war and its outcome. The hours of intercession are bearing much fruit … and I expect they are preparing us all for what might appear in our world before this year’s end. Things are sorting. Let’s stay with the sheep group and avoid turning into goats. Let’s keep laboring for the Kingdom to expand the size of His flock, for the glory that lies ahead.
Love and blessings,
Kolyah
