Palestinian Kills Five Israeli Jews

Even though all our eyes have turned to Japan...other events continue to brew in Israel.

Israeli troops have launched a manhunt after five members of a Jewish settler family were killed in the West Bank

Officials have blamed Palestinians for the overnight attack, which left a couple, two children and a baby dead in the Itamar settlement, near Nablus.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said the government would do everything possible to protect its citizens.

The incident comes as peace efforts between Israel and the Palestinians have ground to a halt.

The family - including three children - were stabbed to death by an intruder who broke into their home, Israeli media reported.

Stabbing three Jewish children in their homes, one of them a baby....is certainly going to increase the tension...and may continue to push Israel towards the possible fulfillment of Psalm 83.

We will need to watch this continuing development as Israel's enemies continue to close in from all sides.
