At least 22 Palestinians wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza

Hey Watchmen, Twenty-two wounded in Gaza City—and by the time you read this, that number's already old. My friends, I want you to hear me on this: grieving the wounded doesn't mean excusing the ones who hide behind them. Hamas built its tunnels under hospitals and its rocket sites next to nurseries, and every time Israel strikes back, the world lines up to count Palestinian casualties and go silent on why the fighting started in the first place. That's not compassion, that's a script—and it's been running since October 2023. I still believe Israel has both the right and the obligation to root out people who came across that border to slaughter families. But I'll say what I've said before: too many ordinary people are dying, and that should never sit easy with any of us who claim the name of Yeshua. Here's where I plant my feet, Watchmen: Elohim numbers every wound, every name, every mother's cry in Gaza and every hostage family in Israel—Psalm 56:8 tells us He puts our tears in His bottle and writes them in His book. Nothing about this war is hidden from Him, not the terror tunnels, not the airstrikes, not the propaganda on either side. Torah gives Israel the right to defend her land and her people—but Torah also holds every soul, even the enemy's civilians, as bearing the image of the Creator. Both things are true at once, and if you can't hold that tension, you're not seeing this the way Heaven sees it. So watch, my friends—watch the casualty counts, yes, but watch harder for the moedim, for the shifting alliances, for the nations lining up exactly where the prophets said they would. This is not random chaos in the Middle East. It's the stage being set. Stay in the Word, stay sober-minded, and stay ready—because the closer we get to the end of this age, the louder Gaza gets.
