Israel Kills Another Hamas Leader

Israel has started bombing the lights out of Gaza again after the cease fire ended when Hamas refused to give up hostages now held for 1 1/2 years.  The media always opens there headlines with the body count of dead Arabs in Gaza at the hands of the IDF.  Most times they seem content to say these numbers come from “the Hamas ministry of health”.  So I would be skeptical to believe anything Hamas says when it comes to dead people.  Also the MSM loves to say, “women and children are among the dead”.  The world believes that women and children are innocent bystanders in the genocidal wishes and actions of Hamas and the Arabs of Gaza, but are they?  If you are an old lady and raised a son who is now a Hamas fighter, is she innocent?  If you are a mother who sent your children to Hamas summer camps where they teach your children that the #1 goal of their lives is to kill Jews, eliminate Israel and take over the world for Muhammad, are they innocent?

As you read the book of Joshua, God tells Joshua to go into the Promised Land and kill everyone in this city and that city.  Show no mercy.  Put every human you find to the sword.  And Joshua is obedient and kills every man, woman and child.  This is repeated time and time again.

Do we believe that God is never changing?  Do we believe that God regrets His harsh actions ordered to be carried out by Joshua?  Do we really regret that a Hamas leader was killed along with his wife?  Do we believe it’s possible God is using the IDF to destroy Gaza and drive the demonic presence of Hamas out of  Gaza?  

What we can regret and mourn over is the evil, the sin, the wickedness that people on earth are capable of.  War will continue to the end.  Children die in war.  Children who die before they can understand will be granted mercy by God.  These stories should help us to yearn for the return of Jesus.  Because lasting peace will only happen when the Prince shows up.

Israeli strikes in the southern Gaza Strip killed at least 19 Palestinians overnight into Sunday, including a senior Hamas political leader as well as several women and children.

This, as the Israeli military instructed people to evacuate from part of the city of Rafah on the border with Egypt.

The military said it would soon operate in the Tel Sultan area of Rafah. Israel launched a major offensive on the city in May.

Hamas said that Salah Bardawil, a member of its political bureau, was killed in a strike in Mawasi along with his wife. Bardawil, who was also a member of the Palestinian parliament, was a well-known member of the Hamas' political wing who spoke to the media over the years.

Two hospitals in southern Gaza said they received the bodies of 17 people killed in the strikes, including several women and children. Bardawil and his wife were not included in this number.

The European Hospital said five children and their parents killed in a strike in Khan Younis were among the deceased. Another family of two girls and their parents were killed in a separate strike. The Kuwaiti Hospital said it had received the bodies of a woman and child killed in another strike.
