This past week has been so full of fast-paced, constantly-changing news, that there is no way that I can adequately cover it in this article. So, I will give you highlights with suitable links. However, through my continuously updating Telegram Channel you will be able to follow all the important events related to Israel, the Middle East, and the world.
Two days ago I posted from London a very important Special Middle East Update. It gives much more detail to the four biggest stories below than I can give in written form. I would highly encourage you to watch it.
When Israel learned of a plot already set in motion by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) to employ an anti-tank missile in a terrorist attack, they decided to follow the old Talmudic philosophy that says, “If someone is coming to kill you, rise up and kill them first.” Thus, Operation Breaking Dawn was born. By the time it was done, 170 PIJ targets had been attacked and 12 top commanders had been killed. In response, 1100 rockets were fired across the border from Gaza into Israel. In an eventuality that can only be credited to the hand of God, not one Israeli was killed or severely wounded in the constant hail of missiles. The conflict continued until a truce brokered by Egypt went into effect at 11:30 PM on August 7.
