Iran has attacked Israel directly with around 100 missiles that were neutralized by the Iron Dome. The Israeli Defense Forces issued the following statement: “A short while ago, missiles were launched from Iran towards the State of Israel. . . .” as on October 1st, 2024, Iran made good on its threat to attack Israel. Israel now prepares to respond.

In addition, gunmen killed 8 people in Jaffa in a terror attack at a light rail station.

The recent death of most of Hezbollah’s top leaders through an IDF military operation in Lebanon helped destabilize the terror network in Lebanon. This operation followed a surgical strike of Hezbollah terror networks through targeted explosions of terrorist-owned pagers and comms equipment. This was a pre-emptive strike on the basis of intelligence that Hezbollah had planned an October 7-style attack in Israel, as reported by The Washington Times.

The brewing conflict in the Middle East has now crossed another line. For years, Iran has worked towards a clear objective, stating “the destruction of Israel is non-negotiable.” For the most part, however, Iran uses proxy groups strike Israel. Now, that indirect approach of aggression has changed to yet another direct attack by Iran.

It is not the first time Iran has attacked Israel directly. In April, Iran struck Israel with drones and missiles alongside its proxies after the killing of several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps members. At the time, Israel was able to effectively defend itself with the help of allies fostered through the Trump-era Abraham Accords. Israel declared readiness for any attack. Supreme Leader Khamenei, meanwhile, told his military commanders to prepare attack and defense plans.

As tensions rise and more direct strikes loom on the horizon, it is clear that Israel and Iran are now in an active state of war. Our prayer for Israel and the situation is critical.

Breaking news! Update, Tuesday, October 1, 2024: The White House has announced that Iran is planning to attack Israel with ballistic missiles: “The United States has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel. We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack. A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran.”

All day Monday rumors swirled about Israel Special Ops on the ground in Lebanon and IDF forces moving into Lebanon. In fact, Israel asked people to stop posting about troop movements because it endangered the soldiers. We will continue to publish the latest confirmed reports.

As the conflict may be moving to another level of warfare, let’s commit to another level of prayer for God’s will to be done in Israel, Lebanon, Gaza, and all the areas impacted.

The IDF confirmed over the weekend that it has killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the terrorist organization Hezbollah. Nasrallah has been in charge of the organization since 1992, and his death is likely to change the tide of the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel.

Do you want state prayer alerts?

 

On Friday, the IDF attacked Hezbollah’s “central underground command center” according to Israel Hayom, killing several top commanders and operatives. Among those killed was Nasrallah, one of Hezbollah’s founders and the leader of the organization for over 3 decades.

Following this attack, Hezbollah has been effectively crippled. Much of its leadership has been killed, and Lebanese trust in the terrorist organization has been shaken. As The Wall Street Journal put it:

“In retrospect, this was the outcome of Nasrallah’s making two strategic mistakes: grossly underestimating Israel, his foe, and overestimating the abilities of his patron, Iran, and its network of allied militant groups in the region. …

Hezbollah, of course, isn’t gone, and the movement retains thousands of fighters and a significant part of its arsenal. …

But what Hezbollah has clearly lost inside Lebanon is the aura of invincibility that has allowed it essentially to control the Lebanese state. The country has had no president since October 2022 because of obstructionism by Hezbollah and its allies that prevented the country’s parliament from holding a vote.

Hezbollah is now risking its standing with its base within Lebanon’s Shiite community, especially as residents of mostly Shiite areas in the south and the Bekaa Valley are fleeing their homes because of Israeli airstrikes. …”

In direct answer to our prayers, the leadership of the terrorist organization Hezbollah has been decimated. Look at this chart:

The conflict will not end here. As the Journal said, Hezbollah is not gone. They will continue to fight on the northern front, with or without Nasrallah. for the time being, however, God has protected Israel. Just look at this paragraph from the Journal:

More than 1,000 people have been killed in Lebanon since Sept. 16, according to the Lebanese health ministry, during Israel’s campaign to end Hezbollah’s strikes that have forced tens of thousands from their homes in northern Israel. Not a single Israeli has died as a result of Hezbollah strikes since Sept 19.

Amid the conflict that has decimated Hezbollah and parts of Lebanon, God has protected the Jews. He is showing the world that He will never abandon His people. No matter how many nations and world leaders abandon Israel, this small nation has a great God on its side Who will never fail. Your prayers are being answered!

FATHER GOD, I pray for YOUR wisdom to be infused into the minds of the leaders of Israel and the IDF, for your strength and courage in their military. I pray confusion in the minds of the leaders of Iran and their “groupies” that do the evil deeds. Woe to them for harming YOUR chosen people. I also pray for the remaining hostages and their families, and the families that have lost loved ones in Israel, Gaza, and Lebanon.

Father. Thank you for always protecting Israel from the constant attacks
that it gets from it’s enemies. We praise God that none of the ballistic missiles
from Iran did any damage to Israel thanks to the Iron Drones and help from
American ships at sea. Those who bless Israel will be blessed. Those who curse
Israel will be cursed. Lord be with Israel as they are fighting for their lives and
protecting their great Country. In Jesus name. Amen.

    God has always fought for Israel throughout the whole Bible and he
    will continue to do so no matter what is thrown at them. Jehovah has
    always been Israel’s Abba Father and will always look after the people
    of Israel. They are His chosen people and America is one of their
    biggest allies. As long as we are on Israel’s side, we will be BLESSED.

“But you, O Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend; …..I have. chosen you and not cast you off; fear not, for I Am with you, be not dismayed, for I Am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My Righteous right hand. Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish.” Isaiah 41: 8-11 Thank You Father God that Your Word is powerful & sharper than any two edged sword and that in Your Holy Mighty Name Israel will be victorious. Amen & Amen.

We give You all the glory, YHVH, for You are doing marvelous things for the people of Israel – and we pray that the people of Israel would also give You all the glory. We do not delight in the death of the wicked, for You don’t. But we do rejoice in Your righteous judgements! You are just and holy in all that You do!

Dearest Heavenly Father: We thank you for your continued protection for Israel. We stand in awe of your faithfulness to your people and pray that they will always be victorious in and through you and your Son. I am so sorry that those in charge in America do not share your love for Israel and continue doing things that are bringing horrible judgments down on us. Please know that many many of us in America do share your love for Israel and stand with them in thought and prayer. We are and will continue to lift them up in prayer to you for your help. I love that you love them and that you are a man of your word. That you made a covenant with them you don’t lie or go back on your word. I think I love that the MOST about you and it is one huge reason that brought me to you. I pray for the day when all of Israel and the world, recognize your Son as their Messiah and we can all be in fellowship with you as one. To you be all Glory, Honor, Power, and Praise for you ALONE are Worthy to be Praised. We pray this prayer in the Mighty Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Savior, Healer, Protector, Best Friend Ever – Our EVERYTHING! Amen

Tears stream down my face as I read this, this morning. What a mighty God! I have been continually praying, “You went out to rescue your chosen people, to save your anointed ones. You crushed the heads of the wicked and stripped their bones from head to toe. With his own weapons, YOU DESTROYED THE CHIEF of those who rushed out like a whirlwind, thinking Israel would be easy prey. You trampled the sea with your horses, and the mighty waters piled high. I trembled inside when I heard this; my lips quivered with fear. My legs gave way beneath me, and I shook in terror. I will wait quietly for the coming day when disaster will strike the people who invade us.”
