It has been a busy weekend in Israel and the Middle East!  It is now very early Monday morning in Israel and the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) has already been called to duty!

Terrorists began launching rockets from Gaza into Israel on Thursday and continued the attacks throughout the weekend.  On Sunday evening four rockets were fired into the area near Ashkelon, pressing the IDF into action.  Very early Monday morning Israeli Air Force precision airstrikes on weapons manufacturing sites and a terrorist hub in central Gaza were carried out, and the IDF reported direct hits on the targets.

Border crossings between Gaza and Israel were already closed following the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers, but tensions are ratcheted up to greater levels.

Keep your eyes on Israel, dear friends!  As hatred toward the Jewish nation grows deeper and deeper, we know that Bible prophecy is coming to fruition.  One day, every nation will turn on Israel and, if terrorists have their way, that day may not be far off.  More importantly, our Blessed Hope, Jesus Christ, is coming to redeem His children (believers in Jesus Christ).  Are you ready!?!
