Rocket warning sirens blare in Israeli communities around the Strip a day after Hamas warned Israeli annexation in West Bank would be a ‘declaration of war’

With annexation of parts of Judea and Samaria just days away, the Palestinians decided that now would be a good time to start firing rockets at Israel in the hopes of provoking a war that will delay annexation proceedings. But if Israel was smart, they would let nothing get in their way, and go full speed ahead with annexation plans while they have the full back of President Trump. the situation in America is so fragile at the moment that a delay could very well me a complete stoppage.

Add what’s happening now in the Middle East – multiple wars including a strike on Iranian gas storage facility, raids on militia groups in Iraq, and airstrikes in Syria and Turkey – to a possible new border war between Israel and Hamas, and you have the makings for another Tim LaHaye novel. Only this is no novel, this is real life, and that ‘voice like a trumpet‘ is getting ready to sound.

Two rockets fired at Israel from Gaza, IDF hits Hamas targets in response to rocket attacks

FROM TIMES OF ISRAEL: Palestinians in the Gaza Strip fired two rockets at Israel on Friday evening, the military said. The rockets apparently fell in open areas and there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. Israel Defense Forces aircraft carried out retaliatory strikes against Hamas targets in Gaza, the army said. Rocket warning sirens sounded in communities near the Gaza Strip, sending thousands of residents to bomb shelters as they were celebrating the Shabbat evening meal.

One rocket landed in an open area in the Sha’ar Hanegev region, while the second apparently fell within the Strip. The IDF said in a statement that it had carried out airstrikes in response to the rocket fire.

“A short while ago, IDF fighter jets targeted Hamas terror targets in the southern Gaza Strip,” the IDF said in a statement. “During the strike, a rocket manufacturing workshop and a weapons manufacturing facility belonging to the Hamas terror organization were struck. This strike will impede the Hamas terror organization’s future abilities,” the statement said. “The IDF views any kind of terror activity aimed at Israel with great severity and will continue operating as necessary against attempts to harm Israeli civilians.”

The IDF said it holds Hamas responsible for all events in the Strip and emanating from the territory, and that the terror group would “bear the consequences” for attacks against Israel. Palestinian media reported IDF strikes in the southern and central areas of the Strip.

In an immediate response, an IDF tank fired a shell at a Hamas observation post to the east of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, Hamas-linked al-Resalah news reported.

Later, Hamas-linked media reported IAF strikes on a Hamas military site west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Loud explosions were heard in the area. There was no immediate confirmation from the IDF.

The activation of the sirens came a day after the Hamas terror group, which rules Gaza, warned that Israel’s potential annexation of West Bank lands next week would be a “declaration of war.”

Besides the issue of annexation, there have also been tensions between Israel and Gaza-based terror groups over delays in the transfer of Qatari aid money to Gaza. This was the first rocket fired into Israel in 10 days.

In recent days, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the two most powerful terror groups in Gaza, have threatened to step up clashes along the border, following months of relative calm in the area.

Israel’s planned annexation of parts of the West Bank constitutes a “declaration of war,” a spokesperson for Hamas’s military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, said in a speech on Thursday.

“The resistance considers this decision to be a declaration of war upon the Palestinian people. The resistance will be the loyal and dutiful guard of the people throughout this war, acting in defense of our people, our land, and our holy sites. We will make the enemy bite his fingers in remorse for this sinful decision,” the spokesperson, known by his nom de guerre Abu Obeida, said in the speech. “And those who oppress will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned,” Abu Obeida continued, citing a verse from the Quran.

On Friday, a senior Hamas official reiterated the message, saying Israel and Hamas were locked in an “existential struggle.”

“This is an existential struggle. It is either us or this entity,” said Salah al-Bardawil speaking at a rally in Gaza. “[Israel] must realize that yesterday’s statement by the al-Qassam brigades will become reality.”

Defense Minister Benny Gantz fired back hours later in a warning to Hamas leaders.

“I suggest they remember that they’ll be the first ones to pay for any aggression,” he said during a ceremony for graduates of the air force’s pilot course. “The IDF is the strongest army in the region and the price for any attempt to harm Israeli civilians will be strong and painful.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s annexation plan, which is slated to be launched as early as July 1, has provoked widespread international criticism. But Israel’s volatile border with Gaza has remained relatively quiet. Demonstrations have been held in the Strip against the plan and a lone rocket was fired from Gaza into Israel last week, landing in an open field and causing no casualties. But Hamas and Israel have so far avoided a serious — and potentially deadly — escalation. READ MORE

Conspiracy Theory

Recent Bigfoot Sightings In Ohio Leave Residents ‘Shaking In Fear’ As At Least Seven Appearances Of This Controversial Creature Reported To Police

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Numerous reported sightings of the hairy Bigfoot beasts — which are said to be up to 10 feet tall — have been reported in Ohio, leaving believers on edge.

Every few years the legend of Bigfoot rises up out of the American woods like a ghost story that refuses to die, and this week the spotlight has landed on rural Ohio. Residents in Portage County say they have seen massive, hairy creatures moving through wooded areas at night, and at least one homeowner reported their dog trembling in fear after something large entered the backyard. Whether you believe it or not, stories like this never quite go away. But the interesting part is not the creature itself — it’s the endless fascination people have with mysterious beings hiding in the shadows. And for good reason, there’s lots of stuff lurking in those shadows.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 (KJB)

The modern world prides itself on science, technology and skepticism, yet millions remain captivated by tales of cryptids like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, or mysterious “forest people.” Why? Because deep down people sense there is more to this world than what can be measured in a laboratory. The Bible tells us plainly that the unseen world is real. While people are scanning the tree line looking for Sasquatch, the far greater reality unfolding around us is the rapid approach of the end times. The world is racing toward a moment when deception will reach levels never seen before. The Bible warns that the coming Antichrist will operate through signs and wonders powerful enough to deceive the entire world. Personally, I do not know if Bigfoot is real or a psyop, but I know this. We are living in a world right now that is spiraling out of control so quickly that Bigfoot would be the least of our problems.

Bigfoot sightings light up the gloomiest corner of Ohio — residents report dogs are ‘shaking in fear’

FROM THE NY POST: At least seven Bigfoot sightings have been reported across northeast Ohio since Friday, according to the minds at the Bigfoot Society, with most of the encounters coming between Akron and Youngstown in Portage County. Some are even suspecting an entire family of Sasquatches could be migrating through the region.

One of the latest alleged incidents happened Monday evening in Streetsboro, with the witness insisting she hadn’t seen any of the other reports of the sightings.

“They were passing the Tinkers Creek area when a 6-and-a-half-foot lean, brown bigfoot appeared in their lane but going against the flow of traffic,” the Bigfoot Society’s Jeremiah Byron said. “They were so close that the witness said that her daughter could have reached out and hit the Bigfoot with her arm.”

“She was so freaked out she couldn’t turn around and go back — she is not a Bigfoot person,” Byron added.

Surprising no one, perhaps, none of the Bigfoot spotters have managed to snap a photo — despite the ubiquity of high-resolution cameras on modern smartphones. And no reports have been made with local police, either, according to the Canton Repository.

“Who would have known that cell phone cameras don’t exist in North East Ohio?” one person quipped on X in response to the Bigfoot Society’s post.

The sightings appeared to be progressing eastward — leading the Bigfoot Society to posit a “Green Highway” theory that a family of cryptids was migrating through the area.

“Based on these coordinates, the subjects appear to be using the Headwaters Trail greenbelt as a primary travel corridor,” the group said in an X post. “The variation in height (6ft to 10ft) and color (brown to black) suggests we are not tracking a single individual, but potentially a family group or multiple subjects migrating eastward.”

The first sighting came Friday when somebody claimed to see a 9-foot-tall beast in broad daylight before it ran off after being spotted, then Saturday an 8-foot creature was grunting in a wooded area around 11 p.m. — with a footprint reportedly being found.

Then there were four more sightings over the following days through Tuesday morning, one of which left somebody’s German shepherd “visibly shaking with fear” after encountering the alleged beast in a backyard, witnesses said. Others, however, thought that even if these beasts were real, they wouldn’t be around for long — given the rough reputation of northeast Ohio. “That boy is not going to make it past Youngstown,” one person said.

The Strait of Hormuz In The Persian Gulf Lit Up Like An Inferno After Six Tankers Attacked By Iran When Explosive-Laden Boats Struck Multiple Vessels

Oil Surges Above $100 As Six Ships Are Attacked In Strait Of Hormuz While Trump’s War With Iran Pushes Middle East Toward Wider Conflict

Oil prices have surged past $100 a barrel after multiple ships were attacked in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, sending shockwaves through global markets and reminding the world just how fragile the modern economic system really is. As the war between the United States and Iran intensifies, one of the most important energy choke points on the planet is rapidly turning into a battlefield.

“And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.” Deuteronomy 33:24 (KJB)

Yes, oil is part of the story, and always has been. The Persian Gulf sits on top of one of the largest concentrations of energy reserves on the planet. When that supply is threatened, markets tremble. But the deeper reality is geopolitical power. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most strategic military choke points on earth. Whoever controls that corridor can influence the energy supply of Asia, Europe, and much of the global economy. This is how regional wars begin to spread. First it is military strikes, then retaliation, then attacks on global trade routes. Once shipping lanes become battlefields, the entire world begins to feel the consequences. As the war between the United States and Iran escalates and global energy markets begin to tremble, one thing is becoming increasingly clear. The world is moving into a period of profound instability exactly how the prophets said that it would be in the last days.

Oil prices surge above $100 per barrel after six ships attacked in Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz

FROM THE NY POST: The two most recent attacks, apparently carried out by explosive-laden boats, hit the tankers Safesea Vishnu and Zefyros in Iraqi waters, killing at least one crew member and setting the vessels ablaze. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the attacks, releasing a video of the burning Safesea Vishnu in which a man can be heard shouting: “Allah is the greatest! The destruction of an American tanker in the northern district of the Persian Gulf! I obey you Khamenei! Hail be the Islamic Republic of Iran! Soldiers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy!”

“Expect oil at $200 per barrel,” a spokesperson said in a statement Wednesday aimed at the US. “The price of oil depends on regional security, and you are the main source of insecurity in the region.”

The latest attacks followed projectile strikes on four ships in the Strait of Hormuz since Wednesday and caused Brent crude futures to jump past the century mark before falling back to around $96.50 per barrel as of 7 a.m. ET. The attacks came hours after President Trump ordered the release of 172 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an effort to bring down gas prices that have surged by an average of 60 cents per gallon nationwide since America and Israel began joint attacks on Iran Feb. 28.

The IRGC has warned that any vessel which attempts to traverse the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabia Sea and through which an estimated one-fifth of the world’s oil passes, is subject to attack. READ MORE

Bahrain’s interior minister says Iran is targeting fuel tanks in the country after several refineries were hit, as tensions mount following attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Thousands of inmates are processed and sent out through the Bridgeport Correctional Center each year, and they need a Bible to take with them as they go

The Bridgeport Correctional Center in Connecticut is a high-security facility located at 1106 North Ave Bridgeport, CT 06604, managing a diverse and predominantly pre-trial population. It serves as a central urban jail for the state, offering various rehabilitation, education, and vocational programs designed to assist in inmate reintegration. Today, Chaplain Steve has told us of their need for as many Bibles as we can provide, and I would love for us to be able to help him.

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;” Isaiah 61:1 (KJB)

Chaplain Steve writes “We are a large county jail with 1000s of individuals passing through our gates every year. some stay a long time, while others move on more quickly. We want to be able to give bibles to all inmates who request them, but we are currently having trouble keeping up with the demand. I see that the bible we give out are appreciated by the inmates.” Every day we receive multiple requests for free Bibles from individuals both locally and globally. Each week, we receive multiple requests for Bibles from chaplains who minister in the jails and prisons across America. Just this morning we finalized a request for 500 Bibles sent to a Georgia jail, and received a new request from the Bridgeport Correctional Center in Connecticut. Oftentimes new requests will come in while I am writing one of these articles, it’s honestly overwhelming but in a good way. Christian, God has given us an amazing open door in these closing moments of the Church Age to give out as many Bibles and devotional books as we possibly can, and it’s exciting. Prisoners are getting saved in the thousands, and being set free in Jesus Christ. There is much work to be done, come help us to do it!!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
