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.
<blockquote>“Hardly a day goes by when our senses are not bludgeoned by some new outbreak of terrorism in the Middle East.  Despite our best efforts at making and keeping the peace, political, economic, and religious tensions often lead to unrest, violence, and riots.”

Israeli security forces killed two Hamas terrorists in a an air strike according to Palestinian officials. The air strike occurred in Rafah on the Egyptian border.

Israel said the two men were part of a group in “a very advanced stage of planning” of major terror attack on the nation. It’s the second strike by Israeli forces against Hamas terrorist cells in the last two weeks.

The two latest terrorists were part of “Defenders of al-Aqsa” which is sponsored by Hamas.

The attack was apparently aimed to happen around Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, which happens next week. The nation will have major celebrations throughout the country for that day.

The Israel Defense Forces said the attack was going to be aimed at “the heart of the country.”
