REPORT: ISRAELI SPIES ACTIVE IN IRAN : Iran has developed and tested a trigger device for a nuclear bomb, Israeli agents stationed there have told the White House in a report published on Monday. Israeli intelligence presented a stark contrast to recent CIA estimates on Iran 's nuclear program, which claimed that Teheran was far from attaining a nuclear bomb. The CIA's opinion was based on technical information gathered from satellites. However, the White House and the Pentagon dispute the CIA's findings. Pentagon officials urged that the Israeli intelligence be given due consideration and said that data gathered by satellites and ground sensors was insufficient. They added that more emphasis should be given to information supplied by agents. ( J.Post) "So may all your enemies perish, O Lord!

IRANIAN-BACKED HIZBALLAH EXPANDS EFFORTS TO TOPPLE LEBANESE GOVERNMENT: Terror chief Hassan Nasrallah told thousands of Lebanese supporters in a broadcast last Sunday to prepare to take to the streets of Beirut in order to force the resignation of the Lebanese government, which he said is a puppet of the Bush administration. (J. Post)
IRAN SLOWLY SECURING ITS GRIP AROUND ISRAEL: The Iranian government is sending money to Gaza gradually extending its influence over the region surrounding Israel . The Islamic Republic donated $120 million to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, according to an announcement last Thursday by PA Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar. PA Terrorists in Gaza have become major beneficiaries of Iranian largesse. "Its support is very important for us," said the PA foreign minister. Terrorists have significantly stepped up their Kassam rocket attacks against southern Israeli communities. Sderot residents have said the rockets are increasing in accuracy and now contain more explosives as well as ball bearings to maximize damage. (Arutz-7)
KASSAMS SEND SDEROT VICTIMS TO HOSPITAL: Over ten Kassam rockets were fired at Sderot and environs over last weekend. The last one, the fourth major casualty in four days, has left a resident in moderate-to-serious condition. Earlier last week, a barrage of 16 Kassam rockets pounded the western Negev throughout the day, leaving one person dead and two others seriously wounded in the southern town of Sderot . Kassam rockets have rained down on Israel on a regular basis even after the IDF withdrew from Gaza , recently prompting Sderot schools to strike and a mass evacuation of youngsters from the town.

OLMERT ORDERS KILLING OF HAMAS MILITARY POLICE: In order to stop Kassam rocket attacks launched at Israel from the Gaza Strip, PM Ehud Olmert has ordered his security chiefs to target the Hamas political leadership. According to Israeli security sources, a decision to assassinate leading Hamas officials was made by Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz. The report said Israel was determined to ensure that the Hamas group's political leadership in Gaza , the West Bank and abroad would no longer escape responsibility for the attacks. ( J.Post) "When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. You will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies." Numbers 10:9
HAMAS BOASTS: KASSAM HAS DEFEATED ISRAEL: A recent official Hamas communique has stated, "The enemy, in his despair, has tried everything against our Kassams, but he knows that all his plans will fail." Abu Obeideh, a spokesman of the Hamas terrorist organization, publicized this statement: "Everyone knows that the main purpose of all the Israeli military missions is to stop the Kassam rockets. The enemy, in his despair, has tried all means of pressure... but he recognizes that all his plans will fail despite his planes and intelligence gathering. The proof of this is the high number of 'accurate hits among the colonialists [Israeli citizens].'" He further warns, " Israel must think carefully before considering conquering the Gaza Strip, because it will not fulfill its goal, but only cause additional defeats for its army." (Arutz-7) "Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you." Leviticus 26:8
KASSAM FIRE UNDERMINING SDEROT INDUSTRY: Kassam rocket fire has caused damage amounting to hundreds of thousands of Israeli shekels to factories in Sderot and surrounding areas over the last three years. Attacks have forced scores of workers out of their jobs. Approximately 14 percent of the businesses are planning to relocate because of the attacks. The report said 93% of the factories suffered from worker absenteeism because of the Kassams. 64% of the facilities said customers were not arriving because of the attacks, while 57% were not dealing with suppliers and 54% had lost contact with service providers. Furthermore, 60% had suffered a slowdown in productivity and said that mistakes were being made in production because of the added strain on workers. ( J.Post)
HAMAS: PALESTINIAN UNITY GOVERNMENT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ISRAEL: The ruling Islamic terrorist group Hamas said last week the agenda of the proposed Palestinian unity government would not recognize Israel or accept a two-state solution. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said. "Our position in this regard remains unchanged. We reject joining in any government that recognizes Israel ." Earlier Sunday, Damascus-based Hamas political leader Khaled Mashaal warned that the US and Israel would suffer serious losses if the "siege on the Palestinian people" continued. Mashaal added that if a unity government were established and the persecution did not stop, the Palestinian Authority would collapse.

26: And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28: As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
29: For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30: For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32: For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33: O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34: For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?
35: Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36: For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
