The Palestinian Hamas terror group known as Hamas has called on Muslims worldwide to stage a “Day of Jihad,” or holy war, on Friday, October 13th — coincidentally, a date that resonates with horror movies and the upcoming Halloween holiday.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI)reported Hamas as saying:
We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world. It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively. It is a day to expose the crimes of the occupation, isolate it, and foil all its aggressive schemes. It is a day to demonstrate our love for Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honor of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted Messenger
We call upon the free people of the world to mobilize in solidarity with our Palestinian people and in support of their just cause and legitimate rights to freedom, independence, return, and self-determination.
At the time this is being dispatched.. At least 900 people have been killed in Israel and about 2,600 wounded, according to reports in local media. Palestinian authorities said that in Gaza, at least 680 people have been killed and about 3,700 injured.
It’s interesting how, just like 9/11 in the United States, Israel now is coping with an aftermath of what could be a massive ‘intelligence failure’ preceding the events of this weekend..
“We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” the Egyptian official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press.
Israel was caught flat-footed in the lead-up to the attack by Hamas, whose terrorists broke through border barriers to launch a brazen attack that has so far killed at least 800 people and wounded over 2,000, with the numbers expected to climb.
“This is a major failure,” said Yaakov Amidror, a former national security adviser to Netanyahu. “This operation actually proves that the (intelligence) abilities in Gaza were no good.”
Meanwhile rumors abound of what happens next. Nations appear to be taking sides and tensions appear to be boiling over across cities and continents. Rumors of war and threats of terror suddenly en vogue again after all these years.
Laura Loomer is among those stirring tension with dire predictions of sleeper cells being activated for more terror..
U.S. lawmakers briefed on the situation in Israel were told at least four Americans have died in the Hamas attacks, and that the number would likely rise, three sources familiar with the briefing said.
The House and Senate legislators were briefed by phone by Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Acting Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Sasha Baker, according to a Senate source.
During the call, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., asked for a classified briefing this week for all senators. Another source said lawmakers were told that the U.S. was supporting Israel at a high level, but it was still to be determined what new funding or aid would be needed.
Israeli soldiers battled Hamas fighters in the streets of southern Israel on Sunday and launched retaliation strikes that leveled buildings in Gaza, while in northern Israel a brief exchange of strikes with Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group raised fears of a broader conflict.
There was still some fighting underway more than 24 hours after an unprecedented surprise attack from Gaza, in which Hamas militants, backed by a volley of thousands of rockets, broke through Israel’s security barrier and rampaged through nearby communities. They took captives back into the coastal Gaza enclave, including women, children and the elderly, who they will likely try to trade for thousands of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Hundreds have been killed on both sides.
The high death toll, multiple captives and a slow response to the onslaught pointed to a major intelligence failure and undermined the long-held perception that Israel has eyes and ears everywhere in the small, densely populated territory it has controlled for decades.

The world still at shock at the sudden developments in the Middle East. The war challenges global leaders, global prices, and global humanity..
Meanwhile horrid images of warfare and bloodshed continue to be shared on social media. Along with it, tremendous amounts of people proclaiming a new seal has been broken in a biblical war..
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel is at war following an early morning surprise attack from Gaza, left at least 22 people dead.
Hamas claimed to have captured several Israeli soldiers near the border after its militants entered Israel by land, sea and air using paragliders. The assault came after thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel.
Videos appear to show Hamas fighters attacking Israel using motorized paragliders amid an unprecedented wave of surprise raids by the Palestinian militant group on Saturday.
Think about this.. it was science fiction to predict government officials would orders militaries to take down unidentified aerial objects, of unidentified craft.
But for the third time *that we know of* the United States military took one down.
On Saturday night February 11, there was a long strange odyssey over Montana. The FAA restricted airspace and all eyes were on tanker jets on Flight Aware refueling fighters.. However, we were told in public statements that the military would continue to monitor the object and reconsider in the morning..
So here is the fact that we know, from public official releases from the White House and Pentagon: The US and Canada brought down three high-altitude airborne objects this month, including one Washington said was sent deliberately by China for surveillance. Beijing countered that it was a harmless weather-monitoring device that blew off course…
WE assume the military knows a bit more than they would tell us, of course, but people are clamoring to know what in the world, or other world, they are. With the silence comes conspiracies.. On one hand we have been worried about World War III, but maybe we missed the beginning of War of the Worlds in the process!
Talking about these objects being anything other than mannade is speculative .. people would slam it as conspiracy. But consider the fact, as we mentioned opening up this post, we have been hearing of the military spotting UAPs for years.. Pentagon officials have silently warned Congress that they did not know what the objects were. Now, after spotting and taking down the Chinese spy balloon, the new objects being shot down apparently don’t completely match that M.O.
From news accounts in Canada: The object was “cylindrical” and smaller than the suspected Chinese balloon shot down last weekend, Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand said on Saturday evening. It is not clear what the object shot down over Canada is or whether it is related to the spy balloon shot down last week or the unidentified object shot down over Alaska on Friday.
But it is not just objects. It is lights in the sky as well.
Late last month, mysterious green laser beams were spotted from Hawaii’s tallest peak. Experts initially said the burst of laser beams was emitted by a NASA spacecraft though that was proven incorrect this week – with evidence pointing to a Chinese satellite.
Space experts at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) initially tweeted on Jan. 30 that the Subaru-Asahi Star Camera “captured green laser lights in the cloudy sky over Maunakea, Hawai’i. The lights are thought to be from a remote-sensing altimeter satellite ICESAT-2/43613.”
Yes indeed… some may call some conspiracy theorists. But right now, we all maybe just became honorary members in 2023.
The Pentagon has apparently formulated a plan to take down the Chinese spy device, with all major news networks and Internet sites honing in on imagery of the balloon, as it enters air space over South Carolina.
It is anticipated that the government plan to shoot. The balloon down will occur once its exit takes place and it makes its way over the Atlantic Ocean.
