Violence Increasing In Israel

We're all aware of the most recent attacks against Israeli citizens, but there is more to this story. It is important to understand that these attacks were well-planned and coordinated. We also cannot forget that these are the very people that refuse to acknowledge that Israel has a right to exist and we cannot forget that "the nations" expect Israel to ignore these terrorist attacks and their overall agenda to destroy Israel, while agreeing to shrinking (indefensible) borders and a "peace" agreement. Life in "Bizarro world".

At least 6 dead, 25 hurt in terror attacks

At least six people were reported dead and at least 25 injured in a three-stage terrorist attack along Israel’s border with Egypt on Thursday, which began when terrorists opened fire at an Egged bus traveling on Road 12 near Eilat.

Several minutes later, a number of bombs went off next to an IDF patrol traveling along the border with Egypt. There were also reports of mortar fire from Egypt into Israel. The terrorists apparently then moved on to another spot and fired an anti-tank missile at another vehicle, injuring a number of passengers.


Magen David Adom said that terrorists attacked a bus and a private vehicle 20 kilometers north of the site of the first incident. Paramedics said five people there were mortally wounded in that attack.


IDF strikes Gaza in response to attacks

The IDF attacked terror targets in Rafah in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, in response to a three-stage terrorist attack which killed seven Israelis and wounded dozens in the South earlier in the day.

Six Palestinians were killed in the joint IDF and Shin Bet strike.

Among those killed was the chief of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), Kamal al-Nairab. The five others that were killed were also members of the terrorist faction .


Instant Payback: Terror Assault Commander Killed

Netanyahu: We respond immediately and powerfully to attacks

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Thursday responded to terror attacks in the South that killed seven and wounded dozens more, saying, "Those who think Israel will accept attacks on its citizens is wrong."


Since that time, there have been additional attacks in what appears to be a major turning point in increasing violence in the region:

33 Wounded in Terror Attacks on 2 Buses Near Eilat

A second Israeli vehicle was targeted early Thursday afternoon by unidentified terrorists who apparently fired a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) that scored a direct hit on the road to Eilat. At least five passengers were critically wounded in the attack. Magen David Adom medics on site continue to treat the casualties who are fighting for their lives.

Yoseftal Medical Center in Eilat currently reports that 33 casualties were admitted to the center. Of those, however, five were subsequently flown to Soroka Medical Center by helicopter for advanced treatment.

The attack occurred less than an hour after a terrorist cell ambushed a bus on Route 12 to the Red Sea resort city, aiming automatic gunfire at the vehicle and wounding seven passengers. Highway 12 connects Ovdat Air Force base and Ovdat airport with Eilat. The airport and the base are adjacent to each other.


And this:

Additional shooting attack north of Eilat, one injured

An additional shooting attack took place Thursday evening north of Eilat, in which one person was injured. Army forces, police and ambulances were seen rushing toward the location of the attack and IDF helicopters were hovering overhead.

IDF forces were still searching the area around Eilat and the Egyptian border out of concern that there may be terrorists still in the area. Sources said that it is possible that there were as many 20 terrorist in the area, both in Israel and on the Egyptian side of the border.

There were also reports of mortar fire from Egypt into Israel. The terrorists apparently then moved on to another spot and fired an anti-tank missile at another vehicle, injuring a number of passengers.


UN Evacuates Gaza After Attacks Fearing Israeli Response

According to reports the United Nations decided Thursday to evacuate its foreign personnel from Gaza following the deadly string of terror attacks that rocked Israel's south.

The three successive attacks on buses in Israel's south left at least six dead and 33 wounded – including two women and two small children – prompting international speculation a muscular Israeli response is in the works.


Even more gunfire a brief period later:

Terror continues: Two gravely hurt by fresh gunfire hours after deadly attacks

Two people were critically wounded Thursday evening when gunfire erupted close to the site of a deadly series of terror attacks earlier in the day in which seven people had been killed.

The gunfire began during a press conference by Defense Minister Ehud Barak and IDF chief Benny Gantz, at the scene of the attacks.


If the above isn't enough violence for one day, we also see this:

IDF: Grad Intercepted Near Ashkelon

The Iron Dome anti-missile system is believed to have intercepted a Grad missile that terrorists fired at Ashkelon Thursday evening, IDF Spokesman "Poli" Mordechai said.

He also said that terrorists may have fired an anti-tank missile at an IDF helicopter as well.

Another gunfire incident took place on the Israel-Egypt border Thursday evening. One person, apparently an IDF soldier, was reported seriously wounded.


For Debka's analysis see the following:

Israel tenses for Gaza strike after deadly Palestinian multiple terror attack

Remember these are the same people with whom Israel is expected to broker a peace deal.

What is their response?

Hamas: We didn't carry out southern Israel attacks, but we praise them

Yes, that is correct. Hamas "praises" the attacks that killed innocent civilians, injured 33 people, including young children - all just going about their daily lives. Unfortunately they are Jewish and therefore, according to Hamas, deserve to die.

The Islamist Hamas movement on Thursday welcomed a series of deadly attacks in southern Israel earlier in the day

"I don't think Hamas is behind these attacks, but we praise them since they were against soldiers," said Ahmed Yousef, a senior member of the organization, which has been in power in Gaza since seizing control in 2007.


And this compassionate response:

Erekat "Warns" Israel After Day of Lethal Attacks

Palestinian Authority chief negotiator Saeb Erekat on Thursday took full advantage of the lethal terror attacks in Israel not to extend his condolences, but to issue a warning.

"Israel stands warned of any possible aggressive action or collective punishment measures against the Palestinian population in Gaza," Erekat said in a statement after the attacks that left 7 Israelis dead and 33 more wounded.


This isn't unexpected. For decades, Israel has been expected to continue giving away their land, creating indefensible borders, and continue pouring money into the same region that continually launches rockets into their land along with terrorist attacks against their citizens.

Pretty much business as usual really.

(cue music) Scott says, "This just in..." You need your own jingle as you break news on your blog.

Glenn Beck is in Israel for the upcoming Restoring Courage Jerusalem event to be held near the temple mount. Praying for all those in harms way.

Scott said...

Heh :)
Like Dutchsinse?

I need to figure out how to do that...Or have the FoxNews "Alert" music that occurs about 500+ times per day :)

gearedup2go said...

Yeah! Do a YouTube channel! You could demonstrate by using flannel board characters during your narrative. ;-) Just imagine how quickly word will spread as you give us the most updated information of prophetic events of any blogger out there. Popcorn sales will go up, factories will have to employ more workers to meet the demand and the economy will get a big boost. See? There's an upside to this.

Dylan said...

Geared, you're totally right! Scott, you should make a YouTube channel! I could check dutchsinse and prophecy update on the same website then. But keep this blog up too.

Alice said...

Scott or anyone, I was away on a family trip and just returned. What has happened to Dutchsinse? One blogger I follow said we should keep him in our prayers... Just wondering what I've missed. Can anyone fill me in?

I haven't been over there in a couple of days, but apparently his best friend was shot several times by some men in a black HumV - who may have gotten away, I;m not usre - and there was a suggestion that maybe it had something to do with his site - not sure exactly what the details are, but I think it shook him up pretty seriously.

STOCKS ARE STARTING TO CRASH AGAIN.
AND GOLD IS IN THE FINAL STAGES OF
A PARABOLIC CURVE BLOW OFF.

THERE WILL BE A POINT WHEN THE DOLLAR EXPLODES ON THE UPSIDE
AND THE EURO COLLAPSES.

THAT IS WHEN THE GOLD CRASH WILL HIT.


ELLIOTTWAVE.COM IS VERY VERY BEARISH ON GOLD AND SILVER.
IN FACT, EVEN WITH THE HUGE GOLD
RALLY TODAY, GOLD AND SILVER MINING
COMPANIES WENT WHERE ??

STRAIGHT DOWN.

THIS IS A DANGEROUS TIME.

ONE WAVE COUNT HAS THE DOW GOING INTO A (3) WAVE FREEFALL IN THE
NEXT 3 - 4 WEEKS.

IF SO, AC MAY BE VERY CLOSE.

TOP CONTENDERS STILL ARE AMRANI OR
SARKOZY.

BUT OF COURSE, THERE COULD BE SOMEONE OUT THERE WE DO NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT.

STAY TUNED.

Stephen

Go down a couple of posts and look at some of the comments regarding these threads (Elliotwave etc) - We're all asking that you stop with the caps and start engaging in more serious discussions on these topics, rather than "hit and run". Let me know what you think.
God Bless

The other day on the news, when talking about the financial crisis in Europe, the analyst actually said the phrase "loss of sovereignty"! We've been talking about that possibility for how long and now the mainstream media is starting to say it? It's amazing.

Yea, they're a little late to the party but better late than never.

What amazes me is how much the discourse has changed over the last several years --- I can recall being sheepish years ago when telling of these coming events. I;d go to great lengths to make the case for the world financial system (which now is a given) leading into a world governance. Now these things are discussed in the MSM and are part of the national debate.

Amazing how fast things have changed

Caver said...

Sitting here thinking...ouch!

Oh well, considering all the other pressure being brought against Israel from every possible front these days.....it seems to make some type of sick sense to step up the physical violence to complete the witches brew. Talk about being hemmed in.

Just when the bad guys are bringing the political pressure on Israel they seem to also be forcing Israel's hand to violently lash out in response. Only this time...Egypt is on the other side.

If some of these attacks, motors and RPGs did, in fact, come out of Egypt then Israel is sooner or later going to be forced to respond on Egypt's side of the border militarily. Considering today's political climate, that could get real interesting real quick like.

Scott said...

Yea Caver...The recent changes in Egypt are leading to a lot more violent acts. The border is much more porous and there have been more attacks (thwarted) against the pipeline (I haven't had time to post the articles)
