UPDATED 25 October 2022: The Arab Islamist violence continues. The IDF, Shin Bet and YAMAM counter-terrorist forces raided an explosives manufacturing apartment in Shechem (Nablus). Excellent intelligence collection identified the apartment in the Kasbah of Shechem as a HQ for the so-called "Lions Den" terrorists which afterwards was destroyed by Israeli forces. A firefight between Israeli forces and dozens of Arab Islamists ensued; there were no IDF injuries and 4 of the armed terrorists were killed.
15 October 2022: There has been a tremendous increase in Arab Islamist violence in Israel with most of the attacks occurring in the towns of Judea and Samaria, but especially in Jerusalem. This rise in violence is due to primarily to Islamic incitement to violence in the mosques. The increasing violence is also the result of an incredibly weak Israeli government. Not the IDF, mind you, but the government itself. It's the Israeli version of the American Biden administration. They see eye-to-eye on most things.
The violence is marked by stones being thrown at Israel's security forces and common Jewish citizens on a daily basis. This is the low end, whereas the high end is marked by Molotov cocktails and other types of hurled fire bombs, the igniting of tires laced with fuels, shooting attacks and riot after riot in various locations, but primarily in and around Jerusalem. The hardest and most frequently hit is the neighborhood of Shimon HaTzaddik of East Jerusalem. The IDF and Border Police then arrive to restore order - temporarily at best. As stated, the violence occurs on a daily basis. For the average Israeli citizen the IDF and Security Forces arrival on the scene this is not enough, and they are, community by community, kibbutzim by kibbutzim, taking direct action against the Arab's terrorizing their communities. Eventually, and sooner rather than later, things will hit the proverbial fan. We all know it, it's inerrant God-breathed prophecy.
However, there's are changes coming, and they will manifest in a little over two weeks time and within 7 days of each other. The first is Israel's newest round of Knesset elections on November 1st, and the US mid-term elections on November 8th. It is anticipated that the conservatives of Israel and the US will prevail in these elections. That would be a good thing, but as we all all know, God establishes governments and their leaders for His purposes. The coming prophetic fulfillments cannot be stopped, they are the sound of inevitability we all sense in the background.
On the other side is the just announced reconciliation agreement between the PA-leading Fatah Faction and the terrorist HAMAS (image above) and its associated terror cells. The reconciliation was signed in Algiers, Algeria this past Thursday. A truly united Arab terror front of Fatah and HAMAS should be seen as a harbinger of the coming conflict foretold by several ancient prophets of Israel. It does appear as these three events are coming together, and it is accepted on Eschatology Today that this is not coincidental. God is in complete control.
