Israel on high alert for Hizballah attacks

Headline News

Monday, July 14, 2008 Israel Today Staff

Israeli military officials are concerned that Lebanon's Hizballah terrorist militia will renew hostilities against the Jewish state following a prisoner swap scheduled for Wednesday.

Army sources cited by The Jerusalem Post said that recent statements by Hizballah leaders indicated the group plans to launch attacks against northern Israel as early as later this week.

Those attacks could take the form of abductions of Israeli soldiers and raids on border towns.

Israel is moving forward with a decision to exchange five Lebanese terrorists it is holding for two Israeli reserve soldiers believed to already be dead. The Israelis, Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, were nabbed by Hizballah in the 2006 cross-border assault that sparked the Second Lebanon War.

Vengeance is mine...

and we are thankful Lord, for You are just and it is a fearful thing to fall into the Hands of the Living God. But I pray dear Lord, I would rather see Samir weeping in repentance before beautiful Yeshua.... Lord that you would save this man and make a beacon of hope.... that he would reveal Your glory and be a living testimony to Your amazing grace oh Lord.... draw him with your loving-kindness Heavenly Father..... though he deserve punishment Lord, just as we have deserved it Lord, reveal Your merciful heart - and strengthen and comfort the family Father who were so cruelly and horribly robbed. Have mercy Mighty God.... Mighty to save. Thank you Lord for saving us! Amen.

eachange

why would Israel exchange terrorists with dead israeli soilders?. sometimes i begin to think that Israel is living in fear.

Hizballah killed Israeli soilders and now Israel want to give them their terrorists alive who even deserve death in order to collect the remains of dead Israeli soilders, what a mistry?.

why wound''nt they attack Israel seeing they are affraid of them.

Israel have everything it takes including their God to destroy any nation to rise against them but they are living in fear, why? stop living in fear and be prayerful, your God will see you through. shalom.

You are correct. These haters and antisemites are only posting to make us angry. Satan sets many snares for believers. We should ignore them totally or, as Faith suggested, quote scripture. The only verse they seem to know is John 8:44.

It is hard sometimes not to come back

with smart remarks and anger. I Had to repent of these thoughts recently when my church held comm . I am struggling to bite my tongue every time I read these wicked remarks by unbelievers who seemingly salavate over getting we believers upset. Are we falling into their traps with some of our responses? I am afraid we might be. Like Faith said on another site in regards to Rebekah of Norway, perhaps we should respond with Biblical verses and prayer. Scripture says that praying for your enemies is like heaping hot coals on their heads. Maybe we should "git to heapin" and let God take care of them.

We all get frustrated at times. God will judge all evil. His Holiness demands it. I hate the thought of Samir walking about free also. He should have been executed for these vile acts. I went to the website link you posted. Very good article. Thanks. The photograph of the father and his two young children in happier days was heartbreaking! I recommend that link also for the family of God.

Jim - of course your right, as you should be!!!

Just blowing off steam for the "STUPID" *$#@ that gos on....

Although, many in the IDF are probably "Overly Joyous" that he is being freed, in that now they have a chance to get him into their cross-hairs.... and AMEN to that!!!

I appreciate the sentiment, but you know the Israelis will never do that. Unfortunately, Samir will be released unharmed. But sometime soon Samir will stand before a Holy God and answer to his horrible crimes.

For those that do not know!!!

One of the "Terrorist" being set free is Samir Kuntar!!!

Just a snippet of the story from the mother of the girl killed by him....

"As police began to arrive, the terrorists took Danny and Einat down to the beach. There, according to eyewitnesses, one of them shot Danny in front of Einat so that his death would be the last sight she would ever see. Then he smashed my little girl''''s skull in against a rock with his rifle butt. That terrorist was Samir Kuntar."

Please google to read whole story and or go to this link -

What Brains Moron checker?

I quess you have been asleep for quite awhile. Even the main stream, hate christian, jews and conservatives have had to post recent stories about yellow cake found and shipped from Iraq undetected. Airplanes hid in the sand and other barrels full of WMDs, Only the Bush haters and Jew haters have been asleep all this while and the biggest WMD of all is dead and visiting his god allah in a very warm climate. Hope you don''t end up the same way moron checher.

AMEN -BENFOX!!!!!

I say give em the middle finger, because they will need their trigger finger :-)
I say start treating vermin as vermin...go in destroy the nest and work your way down.....
The US has turned into a bunch of wining pansy spoiled lazy ass appeasing UN loving tree hugging godless hippies....
I for one am not and I feel as if I am in the minority. I pray each day God will watch over me my family and my brothers in Christ.
I love my nation, but right now moral and patriotism is at a all time low for me. I really am ashmaed of what my America has come to. Washington is just one issue, the main issue is that a good majority have turned their backs on God. Anf after all He has done and blessed us with..... how sad.....

Don''t play games Israel, kick butt

I agree and its not very Christian of me but, the middle finger would be a good start Mark. They need to treat their enemies like a enemy and stop giving in with the hope they will leave them in peace. satan does not want peace and neither does his n[n-christian arabs children. The koran is satan''s hand book and corrupt as anything on earth.

I assure you

all that is not Israels will to release terrorist from prison. Its just Israel being intimidated by the US/UN to "appease" its enemies.
sooner or later I hope Israel will give Washington and the UN the middle finger and do what it has to do. If they follow Washington and the UN''s plan for peace they will never win a war they will ever fight.

Olmert is not only a criminal, he is a nut!

Israel must not participate in this so-called prisoner exchange. What exchange? Five terrorists released in exchange for more and more terror?

Israel will never

be able to freely do what they have to do to defend their people. it seems that there is always some sacrafice Israel has to make because of pressure from the US and the UN.
Until they rid themselves of these thorns, they will always fight a battle with one hand tied around their back. As for the US, I hope my county starts to wake up and smell the roses. You cant entrust both good and evil. Either you cling to one and despise the other. You cant serve both God and Evil.

ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE

Israeli intelligence is the very best in the world. If this story is indeed true and something of this nature occurs Israel needs to be relentless and rutherless in their defense against such religious criminals as Hezbollah is.
