Israel rehearses attack on Iran

End Of Days News


Press Service of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) indirectly confirmed that the strike on the military convoy en route from Syria to Lebanon was carried out by Israel. This strike itself is intended to be a warning to the regime of Bashar al-Assad and to Tehran.

Leaders of the Israeli army refuse to disclose the technical details of the strike; however, according to military experts, neither Syrian nor Iranian territory was used for its implementation – the strike was made with the help of new technologies developed by the Israeli RAFAEL concern stationed thousands of miles away from these goals; most likely, from the sea.

The need for such an attack is attributed by foreign military observers to the fact that Assad is trying to send to the Lebanese Shiite terrorist organization "Hezbollah" arsenals of the weapons which he does not currently need, but which are able to hit Israel from Lebanon, including the Israeli gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea. It is primarily about ballistic missiles "Scud D” with flight range of 750 km, capable of carrying a warhead with chemical weapons weighing 1,000 kg (this is a modification of the Russian missiles" Scud " advanced by Syria with funding from Iran); Russian missiles “SA- 17" and "Yakhont "(the latter has a range of 300 km, can be launched low over the water surface of the sea and is extremely difficult to be neutralized by air defense systems), as well as the VX warheads stuffed with chemical weapons.

The mass exodus of Christians from the Muslim world

A mass exodus of Christians is currently underway.  Millions of Christians are being displaced from one end of the Islamic world to the other. 

We are reliving the true history of how the Islamic world, much of which prior to the Islamic conquests was almost entirely Christian, came into being.

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom recently said: “The flight of Christians out of the region is unprecedented and it’s increasing year by year.”  In our lifetime alone “Christians might disappear altogether from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Egypt.”

Ongoing reports from the Islamic world certainly support this conclusion:  Iraq was the earliest indicator of the fate awaiting Christians once Islamic forces are liberated from the grip of dictators.  

In 2003, Iraq’s Christian population was at least one million. Today fewer than 400,000 remain—the result of an anti-Christian campaign that began with the U.S. occupation of Iraq, when countless Christian churches were bombed and countless Christians killed, including by crucifixion and beheading.  

The 2010 Baghdad church attack, which saw nearly 60 Christian worshippers slaughtered, is the tip of a decade-long iceberg.

Now, as the U.S. supports the jihad on Syria’s secular president Assad, the same pattern has come to Syria: entire regions and towns where Christians lived for centuries before Islam came into being have now been emptied, as the opposition targets Christians for kidnapping, plundering, and beheadings, all in compliance with mosque calls telling the populace that it’s a “sacred duty” to drive Christians away.

In October 2012 the last Christian in the city of Homs—which had a Christian population of some 80,000 before jihadis came—was murdered.  One teenage Syrian girl said: “We left because they were trying to kill us… because we were Christians….  Those who were our neighbors turned against us. At the end, when we ran away, we went through balconies. We did not even dare go out on the street in front of our house.”

In Egypt, some 100,000 Christian Copts have fled their homeland soon after the “Arab Spring.”  In September 2012, the Sinai’s small Christian community was attacked and evicted by Al Qaeda linked Muslims, Reuters reported. But even before that, the Coptic Orthodox Church lamented the “repeated incidents of displacement of Copts from their homes, whether by force or threat.

Displacements began in Ameriya [62 Christian families evicted], then they stretched to Dahshur [120 Christian families evicted], and today terror and threats have reached the hearts and souls of our Coptic children in Sinai.”

Iraq, Syria, and Egypt are part of the Arab world.  But even in “black” African and “white” European nations with Muslim majorities, Christians are fleeing.

In Mali, after a 2012 Islamic coup, as many as 200,000 Christians fled.  According to reports, “the church in Mali faces being eradicated,” especially in the north “where rebels want to establish an independent Islamist state and drive Christians out… there have been house to house searches for Christians who might be in hiding, churches and other Christian property have been looted or destroyed, and people tortured into revealing any Christian relatives.” At least one pastor was beheaded.

Even in European Bosnia, Christians are leaving en mass “amid mounting discrimination and Islamization.”  Only 440,000 Catholics remain in the Balkan nation, half the prewar figure.  

Problems cited are typical:  “while dozens of mosques were built in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo, no building permissions [permits] were given for Christian churches.” “Time is running out as there is a worrisome rise in radicalism,” said one authority, who further added that the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina were “persecuted for centuries” after European powers “failed to support them in their struggle against the Ottoman Empire.”

Israel said to hit arms depot, first daylight images reveal

End Of Days News


Israel targeted Syrian air defense units as well as an arms and ammunition warehouse, Hezbollah TV station Al-Manar claimed Sunday afternoon, broadcasting the first daylight video images of the site northwest of Damascus that was hit overnight.
Israel attacked an arms warehouse in the Dimass area, 30 kilometers (18 miles) northwest of the capital Damascus, near the border with Lebanon, al-Manar reported. The video footage shows mortar shells and rockets scattered on the ground, as plumes of black smoke rise from the site amid the sound of exploding ammunition in the background.
The second site attacked by Israel, claimed the al-Manar website, was a chicken coop owned by the Syrian army, surrounded by military factories producing cement and tea. According to al-Manar, “a number” of soldiers and civilians were killed in the attack.
