News items are changing so quickly, it is hard to do an update. The size and importance of these events are enormous and historic. These first few hours have been nothing less than miraculous. Simply amazing, beyond words.

13:00 AM – We were all awakened at 3:00 AM with sirens. We went to the safe room but were surprised that IDF didn't inform us as to a specific attack. We soon learned that it was a test for the whole system in preparation for the war.

1,500 KM – the distance between Israel and Iran is more than 1,500 kilometers, which presents extremely difficult logistic obstacles to any attack. Israeli planes, for instance, must be refueled during the operation.

300 Targets – in the first wave of Israeli attacks, some 300 targets were hit inside Iran.

200 Jets – these were carried out by 200 Israeli jet fighters.

100 Drones – in response, Iran launched an attack of 100 drones. The traveling time to Israel is over 2 hours. All Israel was warned to stay for hours in the safe rooms. The potential civilian loss was imminent.

0 – before any of them could reach Israeli territory they were 100% intercepted by the IDF in the air over Syria, Iraq and Jordan. Zero reached us. The warnings were removed for our citizens.

Netanz – the largest Iranian nuclear plant, Netanz, was hit by Israel air force, and made inoperable. This was done without huge bunker penetration bombs. The jet fighter attacks were strong and accurate enough to destroy the plant operations. Other nuclear plants were hit, but damage is not clear at this hour.

20 Commanders – 20 top military commanders of the Iranian army were taken out by precision strikes.

18 Scientists – 18 top nuclear scientists working on developing their nuclear weapons were also taken out by precision strikes.

Mossad Drones – one challenge for the IDF was the battery of Russian designed anti-aircraft missiles inside Iran threatening Israeli planes. Many of the missiles were destroyed the hour before the Israeli strike. How? Israeli Mossad had built a secret drone factory inside Iran. The drones were launched shortly before the Israeli jets arrived. Mossad agents fled the country in the next critical moments.

Trump's Surprise – US President Trump has gone out of his way for months to find a peaceful agreement with Iran. Two days ago, he said that he was surprised and disappointed that something had changed with the Iranians. But nothing has changed. Trump is simply waking up to the deceitful negotiation tactics.

Trump's Trick – in response Trump said that Israel may attack but not any time soon. It is possible that he knew the attack was coming and diverted attention.

IAEA Report – Internal Atomic Energy Agency chief Grossi reported that Iran has been violating all previous restrictions and has developed their nuclear ability to the "red-line" level to create a nuclear bomb. Thus, Israel had NO CHOICE.

Operation Lion Arising – for two years now in Israeli press conferences, Netanyahu has quoted from Balaam's prophecy of Numbers 23:24 that one day Israel would be a people that would arise like a lion to take the prey. That expression has become the name of today's operation.

7-Front War – This operation is the follow-up stage of Israel's response to the war that was launched against us on October 7, 2023. There have been attacks from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Samaria, and Iran. All have been funded, supplied, and incited by the Ayatollah regime in Iran. Iran was the Octopus; their proxies were weaponized tentacles.

1979 – This war did not start in 2023 but in 1979 when Ayatollah Khoumeini overthrew the Shah of Iran. Since then the Islamicist regime has used the vast resources of Iran to prepare the destruction of Western civilization. The chants of "Death to America; Death to Israel" have been repeated thousands upon thousands of times in their propaganda war. Today is the culmination.

Shiite and Sunni – The two major sections of Islam are Sunna and Shia. Sunnis are based in Mecca. They are led by Arabs. Shia is promoted by Iran. There has been conflict between Shiites and Sunnis for centuries. The Sunni Arabic nations see Iranian extremism as their historic enemy.

Mahdi – Shia emphasizes the coming of the great end-times hero, the Mahdi. He is to come from heaven to conquer the world and rule from Al Quds, Jerusalem. The obsession of Shiite Islam to destroy Israel is a religious dogma that cannot be compromised. It makes the current war extremely apocalyptic in nature.

Haredi Conflict – Merely 24 hours before the start of the IDF airstrike, the Israeli Knesset debated all night over a law enforcing army service for ultra-Orthodox Jews, who refuse to enlist. It seemed certain that the vote on this law would cause the government to collapse. At the last moment a compromise was reached which allowed the government to continue.

Israel Alone – Israel updated the US government of the attack. America has backed Israel's right to defend itself and has supplied Israel with full weapon support. However, the operation itself was not supported by anyone.

  • For all Jihadist military power to be destroyed
  • That innocent citizens would not be injured
  • That the Israeli hostages would be returned
  • For freedom for the Iranian people
  • For worldwide public opinion to be aware of the truth
  • That a new period of peace would come to the Middle East
  • That spiritual revival would spread across the Middle East as well
  • That the whole world will see the miraculous power of the God of Israel
