Did Israel Just Sabotage an Iranian Drone Factory? – Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz - https://www.israel365news.com/191137/did-israel-just-sabotage-an-iranian-drone-factory/ When you take the field against your enemies, and see horses and chariots—forces larger than yours—have no fear of them, for Hashem your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt, is with you. Deuteronomy 20:1 (The Israel BibleTM) While rockets from Gaza rained down on Israel and Arab rioting filled the streets, another story of the conflict between Israel and Iran was quietly unfolding. The story began last Monday night when six rockets were fired at Israel from southern Lebanon. All fell short of the border and landed inside Lebanese territory and the IDF responded by targeting the source of the rocket launch in Lebanon with tank and artillery shells. There were no reports of casualties or damage and the incident seemed over, with no lasting repercussions. At around 4 AM on Tuesday, the IDF shot down a drone that was approaching the northern section of the Israeli-Jordanian border near the Israeli city of Bet Shean. “The UAV was being monitored by IDF air control units. The fragments of the UAV were collected by security forces,” the military said. On Thursday, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that the drone was determined to be manufactured in Iran and it was armed with explosives. The suspected launch site for the drone was either Iraq or Syria. In a similar case in 2018, a drone was flown from Syria into northern Israel before it was shot down by an Israeli helicopter. Coincidentally, on Friday, a post on the website of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced the production of a new combat drone dubbed “Gaza” in a tribute to Palestinians. The new drone is purported to be able to carry13 bombs while flying at over 35,000 feet at a speed of almost 200 mph for 20 hours. In a seemingly unrelated incident, Iran announced an explosion and fire at a chemical and fireworks factory in the central province of Isfahan in Iran early Sunday morning. Nine people were hurt in the incident. The Mehr state news agency reported that “the reason for the explosion at the Sepahan Nargostar chemical industry is under investigation.” Post on social media by local residents reported that the ground shook from the explosion at the chemical factory. The Guardian reported on Sunday that the complex reported as a chemical factory was, in fact, a factory for producing drones. “The Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (Hesa), which produces a variety of aircraft and drones for Iranian and pro-Iranian forces, is located in the complex owned by Sepahan Nargostar Chemical Industries,” the Guardian wrote. “There was no independent confirmation of the cause of the explosion or the precise factory hit.” Israel has been accused of sabotaging Iranian facilities in the past, most notably the Natanz nuclear site in April. The incident took place one day after a chain of 164 advanced IR-6 uranium enrichment centrifuges went online at the site.

Not In A Million Billion Years :: By Dave Hubley Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles (There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.) Several years ago, I had a conversation with a guy in a waiting room while getting an oil change (in the car, not me). I don’t recall exactly how the conversation originated or how it progressed, but I have never forgotten it. As I recall, it had something to do with evolution and an article that was contained in a “waiting room magazine” that was available there. He made the observation that God was “something that man had made up.” I can’t recall the exact reason he used to justify his opinion, but it had something to do with the usual reasons people give: Weak-willed people needing a crutch, and blah, blah, blah. I engaged him in a “witness,

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th
