The Israeli navy boarded the Gaza-bound “Estelle” ship seeking to break Israel’s naval blockade on Gaza, an army spokesperson confirmed at 11:40 am on Saturday.

The army said the soldiers seized control of the ship, which is carrying pro-Palestinian activists, in accordance with the government’s decision and international law, diplomatic efforts to prevent the vessel from reaching Gaza’s shore had failed.

“When the passengers made it clear that they would not cooperate or accept the invitation to sail to southern port of Ashdod, it was decided to seize the vessel and rerouted to the Ashdod,” the army said in a statement.

“The Navy force operated as planned to guarantee the safety of the soldiers and passengers on the deck. The soldiers did not use force while seizing the ship, and gave the activists food and water,” the IDF confirmed.

The army added that once the ship reaches Ashdod the passengers will be handed over to police and immigration authorities.

The Estelle was carrying 30 activists from Europe, Canada and Israel, humanitarian cargo such as cement, and goodwill items such as children’s books, a mission spokesman said earlier on Saturday.

The IDF confirmation follows initial reports quoting a spokeswoman of the “Estelle” claiming the ship had “come under attack” from the IDF on Saturday.

“The Estelle is now under attack — I have just had a message from them by phone,” AFP quoted Victoria Strand, a Stockholm-based spokeswoman for the Ship to Gaza Sweden campaign as saying.

Palestinian activists told CNN Israeli ships have surrounded the vessel.

The report follows the failure of diplomatic efforts to stop the ship, after Israel’s United Nations envoy Ron Prosor wrote UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon this week asking for international intervention to “stop the provocation” of a small ship sailing to Gaza.

According to one official, the letter – which said the Vikings had a better moral compass than the passengers of The Estelle, expected to arrive near Gaza in the coming days – gave a publicity boost to the ship that is challenging the IDF’s naval blockade of Gaza.

“One ship does not a flotilla make,” said one official of the ship carrying what Prosor called “weekend revolutionaries” with “radical and extremist agendas.”

Israel’s blockade policy remains intact, and the ship will be stopped, one official said.

The ship, sailing under a Finnish flag, set sail in June and has stopped at numerous European ports trying to drum up support and publicity. The vessel, carrying over a dozen passengers, took on additional food and passengers off the coast of Crete earlier this week.

Among the new passengers are five European parliamentarians: Ricardo Sixto Iglesias from Spain, Sven Britton from Sweden, Aksel Hagen from Norway, and Vangelis Diamandopoulos and Dimitris Kodelas from Greece.

The IDF spokesperson added that any organization or country wishing to reach Gaza or move humanitarian aid is able to do so legally and orderly at all times through land passages and in coordination with the Israeli authorities. source – JPost

PROPHECY NEWS MIDWEEK UPDATE: Today Is Day #7 Of A Complete And Total Media Blackout Of Benjamin Netanyahu Who Has Nothing To Say About The War

Where Is Bibi? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Missing From Public View Since March 12 As Deafening Media Silence Raises Serious Questions

A sitting Israeli prime minister like Benjamin ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu does not just “disappear” from public view for days on end without explanation — not in a region that is the geopolitical epicenter of the world, and certainly not in a time when every move in the Middle East is tied directly to end times momentum. When the cameras go dark and the microphones go silent, that’s not transparency — that’s control. This is exactly the kind of thing that should make people stop, look twice, and start asking real questions instead of passively consuming whatever narrative is handed to them.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:15 (KJB)

And let’s be honest about something: if this were any other world leader, the corporate media would be running 24/7 countdown clocks, panels of “experts,” and breathless speculation. But here? Near-total silence. That tells you everything you need to know.

The question isn’t just “Where is Bibi?” — the question is why aren’t they telling you? This is how narrative management works. Information is not released based on truth — it’s released based on timing, strategy, and desired outcome. When something doesn’t fit the script, it gets buried, delayed, or outright ignored. That’s not journalism, that’s gatekeeping. From a prophetic standpoint, Israel is always front and center, exactly where your King James Bible says it will be. Everything that happens in that tiny strip of land has global consequences, and leaders like Netanyahu are not just political figures — they are key players on a stage that is moving, inch by inch, toward the time of Jacob’s trouble. You are watching the pieces move.

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7 (KJB)

Whether this absence is strategic, medical, political, or something else entirely, one thing is certain — when information is withheld, it is because someone, somewhere, has decided you are better off not knowing. And that is always when you should lean in closer, not back away. Keep your eyes open. Watch Israel. Watch the silence just as much as you watch the headlines. Because sometimes what they don’t say is the biggest story of all.

For A Man Who Lives His Life In The Headlines, The Sudden Disappearance Of Benjamin Netanyahu Has Sparked Crazy Rumors And Legitimate Concern

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Where Is Benjamin Netanyahu? When A Jewish Wartime Leader Suddenly Vanishes From The Headlines Of Every News Site In Israel, Bible Believers Should Start Paying Attention

Something is wrong. Benjamin Netanyahu is not the kind of political figure who quietly disappears. For decades he has been one of the most recognizable leaders on the world stage, a man whose name normally appears in headlines almost daily. Whether speaking at the United Nations, addressing the Knesset, or responding to war in the Middle East, Netanyahu is usually front and center. And yet suddenly, he isn’t. For the past 4 days, there has not been a single headline on any Jewish news site, or any news site for that matter, relaying to you some new thing from Netanyahu. In a wartime environment where Israel is fighting on two fronts at the same time, that is astounding, and it’s something I’ve never seen in 17 years of covering wars in the Middle East.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:14 (KJB)

Since March 12, the Israeli prime minister has largely vanished from the front pages of major Israeli outlets like The Jerusalem Post and Times of Israel. Click on those links and go see for yourself that he’s not there when he has always been there, and in the middle of a regional war, no less. No new press conferences. No dominating headlines. Just silence where normally there would be a constant drumbeat of statements and appearances. Now before the internet rumor mill spins completely out of control, let’s say something plainly – There are no confirmed report that Netanyahu is dead. If that had happened, the entire world would likely know within minutes, or maybe not. But why is someone posting very sketchy AI-looking videos to attempt to prove he’s still alive?

History is filled with moments when powerful leaders suddenly disappeared from public view just before major geopolitical shifts. When governments enter crisis mode, the public narrative often goes quiet while enormous decisions are made behind closed doors.

And make no mistake, the Middle East right now is sitting on a powder keg. Iran. Hezbollah. Gaza. Syria. Global pressure mounting against Israel. The entire region is vibrating with tension, and Jerusalem once again stands at the center of it all. For the Bible believer, that should make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Because the Bible tells us that Jerusalem would become the focal point of the last days.

Zechariah 12:3 (KJB) says:

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

Look at the world today. That verse reads like tomorrow morning’s headline. Every major power on earth has an opinion about Israel. Every international body wants to dictate the future of Jerusalem. Every regional conflict somehow finds its way back to the Jewish state. The pressure is building, and the Bible said it would.

So when the prime minister of Israel suddenly fades into the background during a time like this, it is worth asking why.

  • Is he locked inside underground command bunkers directing war operations?
  • Is the Israeli war cabinet making decisions so sensitive they cannot yet be revealed?
  • Is there a major military move coming that requires absolute secrecy?
  • Was he killed in an Iranian airstrike? (it’s certainly possible)

We live in the age of memetic warfare. Governments control narratives. Intelligence agencies shape public perception. Social media explodes with rumors while the real story often sits buried beneath layers of silence. But the bigger picture is not so much about Benjamin Netanyahu, it’s about the direction the world is heading.

The Bible tells us that the last days will revolve around Israel, global conflict, and the rise of a coming world leader who will eventually step onto the stage promising peace in the Middle East.

Daniel 9:27 (KJB) says:

“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease…”

That covenant has not yet been signed. The man of sin has not yet been revealed. But the stage is being assembled piece by piece, crisis by crisis, war by war. Every new conflict around Israel tightens the prophetic vise just a little more.

So whether Netanyahu simply stepped out of the spotlight for wartime strategy, or whether something larger and more sinister is unfolding behind closed doors, the real takeaway remains the same. The world’s attention is once again locked onto Israel, Jerusalem is once again at the center of global tension, and the Bible said thousands of years ago that this is exactly how the final chapter of human history would begin to unfold.

Bible believers should not be panicking, but we absolutely should be watching. Because when the leaders of Israel go quiet during wartime, it often means the next move on the prophetic chessboard is already being prepared.

Iran Posts An Apocalyptic And Cryptic Message On Social Media Showing Tel Aviv Being Targeted By A Nuclear Missile In Retaliation For Attack By Israel

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Is Iran getting ready to launch a nuclear missile on Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israel’s attack on Tehran?

Iran’s latest social media post showing a missile obliterating Tel Aviv is not just another piece of propaganda—it is a chilling glimpse into the mindset of a regime that openly dreams of wiping Israel off the map. When a nation posts imagery of a nuclear-style strike against a civilian city, it is sending a message that goes far beyond rhetoric. It is psychological warfare, intimidation, and a declaration that they see the destruction of Israel not as a tragedy, but as a victory.

“And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 49:38 (KJB)

Iranian officials have repeatedly warned that if war escalates they will strike “the heart of Tel Aviv,” a threat that has been echoed in propaganda banners and social media messaging tied to the regime. In the current conflict, Iran has already launched missile barrages toward Israeli cities after strikes on Iranian territory, pushing the Middle East closer to a direct regional war than at any point in decades. The Middle East stands right now on the brink of a war that no one but Trump and Hegseth wants but likely can’t be stopped if things continue to escalate much further.

Iran threatens to nuke Israel with chilling image showing missile obliterating Tel Aviv

FROM THE UK EXPRESS: Iran has shared a chilling image of a nuclear missile striking an Israeli city, which appears to be Tel Aviv. In a post on X, the account previously belonging to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that “Khorramshahr is ahead”, in reference to the ballistic missile named after the Iranian city.

Included in the post was also a striking image of the missile being developed underground, fired from a mobile launcher, and hitting what appears to be the Israeli city. In another post, the account promised consequences, “by God’s grace”, for “the Zionist regime”.

It said: “The Zionist regime has made a big mistake, and its consequences will make the regime desperate, by God’s grace.”

The city depicted in the image appears to be Tel Aviv, with an Israeli flag and coastal skyline visible. This comes after Tehran launched an overnight attack of cluster bombs targeting Tel Aviv, which were seen in shocking videos flying through the air before crashing into the ground. Huge blazes erupt as they smash into their targets, with witnesses watching on and filming the explosions. The cluster bombs open up as they zero in on their targets, sending around twenty smaller munitions flying out in a radius of roughly five miles. Each of the smaller missiles carries around 2.5kg of explosives, potentially causing huge damage.

Israel also inflicted the worst night of bombing on Tehran since the war began last weekend, launching a “broad-scale wave of strikes” aimed at wiping out the Islamic regime. The intense bombardment on Friday morning saw explosions ringing out across the city, and plumes of smoke and fire lighting up the sky. Residents said their homes shook and they were left without internet and power, plunging them into darkness. A man in his 30s told the BBC: “The house was shaking for five minutes straight. Last night was the worst night.” READ MORE
