Israel’s military made a bold move, confirming a “precise strike” on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut. Israeli Army spokesman Daniel Hagari took to the airwaves to break the news, following a massive explosion that sent plumes of dark smoke billowing over the city.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had earlier addressed the United Nations, warning that Israel would continue its fight against Hezbollah, as reported by the New York Post.

The powerful blast shook homes and rattled windows as far as 19 miles north of Beirut, leaving the city on edge. Ambulances rushed to the scene, sirens piercing through the aftermath of destruction.
This strike came just hours after thousands gathered for the funeral of a high-ranking Hezbollah commander who had been killed in an earlier Israeli strike. The timing of the Israeli military’s action left no doubt about their intentions.
Earlier that day, Lebanon faced another tragedy. An Israeli airstrike wiped out a family of nine in a small village near the border, according to local authorities. Lebanon, already grappling with a spiraling death toll and tens of thousands fleeing their homes, is facing the grim reality of a potential all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah.
As fire was exchanged between the two forces, Netanyahu’s speech at the UN set the stage for Israel’s determined stance. He vowed to “continue degrading Hezbollah” until Israel had met its strategic goals. This dashed any hope for an internationally brokered cease-fire as tensions surged.

Israel escalated its air campaign over Lebanon this week, citing its goal to stop over 11 months of Hezbollah attacks on its territory. The scope of the military action remains unknown, but talk of a ground invasion has been floated.
Israeli troops are now stationed near the border, prepared for what may come next. The memory of the devastating 2006 war looms large over the region, and the Lebanese people fear even worse destruction, especially considering the devastation in Gaza from Israel’s year-long campaign against Hamas.

Lebanon’s Health Minister, Firass Abiad, provided a sobering update. Israeli airstrikes on Friday left at least 25 dead, with the week’s total casualties surpassing 720. Among the dead were women and children, underscoring the human cost of the conflict.
In just two hours on Friday, Israeli forces bombarded the south of Lebanon, including cities like Sidon and Nabatiyeh, hitting Hezbollah targets. Hezbollah responded with a barrage of rockets aimed at the Israeli city of Tiberias, making it clear that this fight is far from over.

IDENTITY CRISIS!
I wonder if the following quotations (all of them from recognized Jewish authorities) have something to say about the Zionists’ claims to alleged fulfilled prophecies and the never-ending Middle East conflicts:
“Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an ‘Israelite’ or a ‘Hebrew.’” (Richard Siegel and Carl Rheins, eds., “Identity Crisis,” The Jewish Almanac, (New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1980) p. 3.)
That sentence is the opening sentence of the First Chapter entitled “Identity Crisis” of the 1980 Jewish Almanac. That today’s Jews are not genetic Israelites is also admitted in “The Jewish Encyclopedia,” the “Encyclopedia Judaica,” “The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia,” “The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia,” and by many of their historians.
According to three Jewish encyclopedias and Flavius Josephus, the entire Edomite nation was forced into converting to Judaism and became known as Judahites at the time of the high priest John Hyrcanus (Maccabaeus):
“…in the days of John Hyrcanus (end of the second century B.C.E.) … the Edomites became a section of the Jewish people.” (“Edom,” Encyclopaedia Judaica (Jerusalem, Israel: Encyclopaedia Judaica Company, 1971) Volume 6, p. 378.)
“They were then incorporated with the Jewish nation….” (“Edom, Idumea,” The Jewish Encyclopedia (New York & London: Funk and Wagnalls Company, 1904) Volume V, p. 41.)
“…from then on they constituted a part of the Jewish people, Herod [King of Judea] being one of their descendants.” (Cecil Roth and Geoffrey Wigoden, “Edom (Idumea),” The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia (Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1977) p. 589.)
“…they submitted to the use of circumcision, and the rest of the Jewish ways of living; at which time … they were hereafter no other than Jews.” (Flavius Josephus, “The Antiquities of the Jews,” Josephus, (Grand Rapids, MI: Kregel Publications, 1960) Book XIII, Chapter IX, Verse 1, p. 279.)
We keep hearing that if we don’t bless the modern State of Israel (which America has been doing since at least 1948) that we will be cursed. However, it seems it’s been just the opposite, Since 1948, you name it, and there’s not an area in America wherein she hasn’t become worse off.
Could it because America has identified the wrong people as Israel.
