    Israeli death toll from Hamas war rises to more than 150
    Today, 8:11 pm 2
    • 'The death toll from the Hamas terror group’s war on Israel rises to more than 150, Hebrew-language media cite medical officials as saying.

      The Health Ministry says 1,104 people have been wounded in the attacks, which included Hamas terrorists infiltrating into Israel and gunning down soldiers and civilians. Others were wounded in rocket attacks.

      The death toll is expected to rise higher'

    What is the benefit of the United States in such arson?

    Of course. The US Military Industrial Complex is always keen on instigating some 'bang & boom' as long as they can keep the tally in their predetermined balance. Maybe Israel has been developing too much of their own arsenal and so competing with the US arms industry.

    At least 232 Palestinians killed and 1,697 wounded in Saturday's fighting, health ministry in Gaza says

    From CNN's Ibrahim Dahman and Mohammed Tawfeeq



    At least 232 Palestinians were killed in Gaza on Saturday, and a further 1,697 were wounded, the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza said in a statement.

    The ministry did not provide a breakdown of where the deaths occurred and if the deaths included Hamas militants or civilians in Gaza.

    "Medical teams are still working with all their capacity to save dozens of serious and critical cases in operating rooms and intensive care units," the ministry said.
    The ministry called "on humanitarian and relief institutions to work immediately to support the emergency needs of Gaza Strip hospitals."

    The deaths come after the Israel Defense Forces carried out strikes in response to an early morning surprise attack by Hamas that left an estimated 70 Israelis dead, according to Israeli authorities.

    A new round of rockets fired by Gaza militants have made direct hits on multiple locations inside Israel, including in Tel Aviv, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) rescue service.

    "Following the red alert sirens in the last few minutes, Magen David Adom teams are conducting searches in the areas where rocket hits have been reported," the organiation said Saturday evening. It listed Tel Aviv, Rishon Letzion and Bat Yam as the affected areas.

    The majority of the emergency calls centered on the Bat Yam area, MDA said.

    Rescue teams are also "searching further areas with reports of injured victims, including Yavne, Givatayim, Bat Yam, Beit Dagan, Tel Aviv and Rishon Letzion," according to MDA.

    Remember: The Izzedine al Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, has said it fired an additional 150 rockets toward Tel Aviv on Saturday evening. The group said this was in "response to the bombing of the residential tower in the center of Gaza City," in a post on Telegram.

    Armed wing of Hamas claims to capture "dozens" of Israelis
    From CNN's Ibrahim Dahman and Kareem Khadder



    The Izzedine al Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, claimed to capture "dozens" of Israelis during the Hamas surprise attack on Saturday.

    "We bring good news to our (Palestinian) prisoners and our people that the al Qassam Brigades have dozens of captured (Israeli) officers and soldiers in their hands," Abu Obaida, a spokesperson for the militant wing, said in a post on Telegram.
    "They have been secured in safe places and resistance tunnels," Obaida added.

    The Israel Defense Forces said earlier today that Hamas has taken hostages and prisoners of war since it launched its surprise attack Saturday morning. Videos geolocated and authenticated by CNN appears to show Hamas taking Israelis captive in and near Gaza, including Israeli soldiers.

    The Izzedine al Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, says it has fired an additional 150 rockets toward Tel Aviv on Saturday evening.

    The group said this was in "response to the bombing of the residential tower in the center of Gaza City," in a post on Telegram.

    What happened: A grouping of high-rises in Gaza were hit by an explosion and two towers were seen collapsing just before 7 p.m. local time (12 p.m. ET).

    CNN video shows the Palestine Tower — a high-rise building with two annexes, which hosts media offices and residential apartments — hit and subsequently collapse. It was not immediately clear if there were casualties.

    “Now that the occupation has bombed the Palestine Tower in the middle of Gaza City, Tel Aviv must stand on one leg and wait for our earth-shattering response,” Abu Obaida, spokesperson of the AlQassam Brigades, had said on Telegram

    Sirens and more than a dozen loud booms are being heard across Tel Aviv, according to CNN journalists on the ground Saturday.

    It was not immediately clear if the loud explosions were interceptions by Israel's anti-rocket systems or the sound of militant rockets landing in the country.

    A CNN team that just got off the plane at Ben Gurion Airport took cover after hearing sirens.

    "You can hear the intercept missiles banging in the air," CNN's Nic Robertson explained, with the sound of an explosion in the background shortly after.

    Several other travelers were seen on the ground taking cover and crying.

    Most Americans are Christian. Christians accept that Jesus will return during the end times and rule the world. Americans a quite a religious lot, more so than UK. I'd imagine this rhetoric is observed by Congress in private if not acknowledged. It's most likely the underlying belief system of America.

    Israel has been careful about wiping out Palestinians as it would be genocide (even though the easily could), as they did not want to go there, but this changes things, now it's war - Israel will wipe out Palestinian, the problem is, many Palestinians will flee and keep coming back, and maybe Iran gets involved, but the US and outher countries will support Israel, this could be a long long war - possible bigger then the Ukraine war

    could not pay me to live in the Middle East

    You're not American, you don't understand America, and you don't know American Christianity. Your conclusions as to what's motivating US foreign policy make that quite clear.

    yeah, moving our embassy probably did not help tensions there any

    this doesn't look good, this is way above the normal back and forth we have seen in the past

    It's been said a few times today on the news that support for Netanyahu will now increase .
    I find it hard to believe that Hamas's inconceivable attack under his watch will manifest as such.

    Israel doesn't have intelligence assets in what is probably their number one intelligence target?

    This is almost unprecedented… the question now is how much Israel values the hostages? …

    Jimmy Carter no longer has the ability to jump into action …

    The Rapture and the Real World: Mike Pompeo Blends Beliefs and Policy



    [​IMG]


    Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has linked Christian beliefs with foreign policy, raising questions about the extent to which his evangelism is influencing American diplomacy.


    By Edward Wong
    • March 30, 2019
    • 'Mr. Pompeo talks about the rapture. “We will continue to fight these battles,” he said at a “God and Country Rally” in 2015, because there is a “never-ending struggle” until “the rapture.”

    “Be part of it,” he said at the meeting, at the Summit church in Wichita, Kan. “Be in the fight.”
