Hezbollah rockets kill 12 in Israel

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Hezbollah guerrillas unleashed their deadliest barrage of rockets yet into northern Israel, killing at least 12 people...as fighting only intensified despite a draft U.N. cease-fire resolution.

Hezbollah and its allies rejected the draft resolution, saying its terms for a halt in fighting do not address Lebanon's demands — in a signal that the nearly 4-week-old battle will burn on.

Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets late Sunday on the port city of Haifa, injuring dozens of people, in the heaviest attack on Israel's third largest city since fighting began.

News reports said one person was killed, and emergency services said more than 30 people were injured. A Haifa fire department spokeman said one crowded residential district suffered five or six hits and there were many casualties.

Hezbollah fired a volley of 80 rockets at several other Israeli towns. One of them made a direct hit on a crowd of people at the entrance of the communal farm of Kfar Giladi, killing 11 people, rescue workers said. [One of the critically wounded died later, bringing the death toll to 12.]

And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be disquieted no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more. 2 Samuel Chapter 7-10

Not for at least another 7 years...

Please clarify this. I know there were some calculations based on prophecies in Samuel and Daniel, but I have forgotten the numbers. Could you please explain how you arrived at 7 years?

Prayers for our beloved dear friends in Israel.

I'm mentioning this only in the event other freepers are interested: I ordered from an Israeli jewelry store a Star of David necklace with a cross in the middle of the Star; it hasn't arrived yet.

Then I was discussing with my husband what I'd really like and he encouraged me to look for something like it online and if I couldn't find it, have it made. Well, after hours of searching, I found a Star of David made of colored glass (which reminds me of stained glass windows in a church) and instead of the Ten Commandment Tablet in Hebrew in the middle of the star, the jeweler in Jerusalem is going to make a star.

If anyone is interested in such an item, please freepmail me and I will provide the link and details.

And in the interim, my ongoing and most fervent prayers for safety for our loved ones and friends in Israel.

I'm not answering for Race, but I almost responded to him earlier. This may not be what he meant, but.......

Many believe that the tribulation period will not begin until the Church has been raptured. Once that happens the 7 year tribulation begins and the anti-Christ will be revealed.

Interesting thing to see in print...

nine of them reserve soldiers,

If you're a citizen of Israel, and don't have special dispensation, anyone from 18 to 50 is a "reserve soldier"

I guess that makes it OK to kill any Israeli who's between 18 and 50, since they're a soldier. Yet another thing to justify the actions of terrorists against Israel.

Thanks. I read Revelations and frankly I can never figure out exactly what is supposed to happen in what order, to whom, how. Of course the Lord made it clear that no one would be able to predict the day of His coming so not too surprising all this is hard to figure out. But wasn't there something about a certain number of years after Israel was restored (1948)? Memory fades...

Awesome stuff!!! Thanks again.

Yes, and I hate that memory fade thing. The only thing I can remember off the top of my head is that it would be within a generation.

I found a Star of David made of colored glass...

Hi Peach. Glad you found this thread. The Star of David made of colored glass sounds quite beautiful. So does the Star of David with a cross in the middle of the star.

[Wolfstar]

Prayers lifted.

Thank you SO much, Red. We can do little except pray these days, it seems.

[Wolfstar]

Amen, Wolfstar. Shalom, good brother.

Thank you very much, Luke. With great gentleness and respect, may I say I'm neither Jewish nor male. But I appreciate your greeting deeply anyway. I was raised a Roman Catholic, but have not practiced any organized religion as an adult.

Be that as it may, I have enormous respect for the Israeli people, who are among the bravest people on the planet, in my opinion.

World opinion is morally bankrupt.
