Zechariah 12:3 “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.”
Editor's Note: Jim Bakker teaches to watch Israel closely because it is the prophetic timeclock for the unfolding of Last Days events. In Matthew 24, Israel is the fig tree that the Lord told His people to observe to understand the times. It is like a barometer of what is happening in the nations.
Israeli Defense Forces say that tank fire which struck near a school killing 19 people who were sheltering inside came in response to Hamas terrorists using the school grounds as a base to fire mortar attacks.
“Earlier this morning, militants fired mortar shells at (Israeli) soldiers from the vicinity of the UNRWA school in Jabaliya (refugee camp). In response, soldiers fired towards the origins of fire, and we’re still reviewing the incident,” a military spokeswoman told the Jerusalem Post.
The incident occurred just hours after the United Nations reported finding Hamas missiles and weapons being stored inside one of their schools for the third time in two weeks. A U.N. spokesman said unlike the previous two times, the weapons are not being turned over to local authorities who in turn return them to Hamas.
However, a U.N. weapons disposal team that was scheduled to make the school safe for children has been unable to reach the site.
“We condemn the group or groups who endangered civilians by placing these munitions in our school. This is yet another flagrant violation of the neutrality of our premises. We call on all the warring parties to respect the inviolability of UN property,” a U.N. statement read without naming Hamas directly.
it’s not accident, whether people might think it or not. Giap did the same in Vietnam with hamlets. If you fire from a populated civillian area, you get fire back, correct? Well then whomever survives gets angry, wanting vengeance, thus assisting your resistance cause….in their case, Viet Cong and NVA, in this case, Hamas. It’s called strategy. Hamas is to blame, not Israel, regarding of what happened. They were deliberately planning this to happen. If they cared about the schoolchildren they would’ve fired from elsewhere. They chose the spot to further their cause.
