Report: Rockets Fired From Egypt Have Hit Israel

11/16/2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

BY DANIEL HALPER – “Two major Israeli newspapers are reporting that rockets fired from Egypt have hit Israel.

‘Terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula launched rockets into Israel Friday night,’ reports the Jerusalem Post. ‘The rockets fell near an Israeli village on the southern border, causing some damage, but no injuries.’

The Israeli daily Haaretz reports, ‘Rockets fired from direction of Egypt toward Eshkol Regional Council.’

It appears no damage was reported in connection with the rocket fire from Egypt. Earlier today, the Egyptian prime minister visited Gaza to express solidarity with the Palestinians there.

This new front comes a day after a rocket landed near Tel Aviv and on the same day Israel’s capital Jerusalem was the target of rocket fire. Those attacks were courtesy of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

‘After Tel Aviv metropolitan area, capital under fire too: An air raid siren was sounded in Jerusalem and surrounding communities early Friday evening. After residents reported hearing blast sounds, security forces confirmed that one rocket had landed in the Gush Etzion area near a Palestinian village,’ Ynet reports.

‘There were no reports of injuries or damage. This was the first air raid siren sounded in the area since the IDF launched Operation Pillar of Defense in the Gaza Strip. Air raid sirens were sounded in southern communities throughout the day and a barrage of missiles hit the area.'” Source – The Weekly Standard.

      Of course the Lord is going to protect the returning remnant of Israel. The Bible clearly says that. Micah 5:7-9 for example:
      “7 Then the remnant left in Israel
      will take their place among the nations.
      They will be like dew sent by the Lord
      or like rain falling on the grass,
      which no one can hold back
      and no one can restrain.
      8 The remnant left in Israel
      will take their place among the nations.
      They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest,
      like a strong young lion among flocks of sheep and goats,
      pouncing and tearing as they go
      with no rescuer in sight.
      9 The people of Israel will stand up to their foes,
      and all their enemies will be wiped out. “
