“Their God changes the path of our rockets in mid-air, said a terrorist.” Reports of divine intervention in Gaza War?
(Denver, Colorado) — “More claims of divine intervention
are being reported in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with an
operator of Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system saying he personally
witnessed ‘the hand of God’ diverting an incoming rocket out of harm’s way,”
says a fascinating report published by
WorldNetDaily.
Excerpts from the article:
Israel Today translated a report from a Hebrew-language news site,
which noted the Iron Dome battery failed three times to intercept an incoming
rocket headed toward Tel Aviv last week.
The commander recalled: “A missile was
fired from Gaza . Iron Dome precisely calculated [its trajectory]. We know
where these missiles are going to land down to a radius of 200 meters. This
particular missile was going to hit either the Azrieli Towers , the Kirya (
Israel ’s equivalent of the Pentagon) or [a central Tel Aviv railway station].
Hundreds could have died.
“We fired the first [interceptor]. It
missed. Second [interceptor]. It missed. This is very rare. I was in shock. At
this point we had just four seconds until the missile lands. We had already
notified emergency services to converge on the target location and had warned
of a mass-casualty incident
“Suddenly, Iron Dome (which calculates
wind speeds, among other things) shows a major wind coming from the east, a
strong wind that … sends the missile into the sea. We were all stunned. I stood
up and shouted, ‘There is a God!’ “I witnessed this miracle with my own
eyes. It was not told or reported to me. I saw the hand of God send that
missile into the sea.”
The commander’s account is reminiscent of
a recent newspaper headline which trumpeted the possibility of supernatural
protection. “Their God changes the path of our
rockets in mid-air, said a terrorist,” was the headline in the
July 18 edition of the Jewish Telegraph.
It
was a partial quote from Barbara Ordman, who lives in Ma’ale Adumim on the West
Bank .
Her exact quotation was: “As one of the
terrorists from Gaza was reported to say when asked why they couldn’t aim their
rockets more effectively: “We do aim them, but their God changes their path in
mid-air.”
She opened her piece by noting: “In
October 1956, [Israeli Prime Minister] David Ben Gurion was interviewed by CBS.
He stated: ‘In Israel , in order to be a realist, you must believe in
miracles.’”….
Meanwhile, the Times of Israel reported a senior officer
in Israel ’s army said divine miracles protected his soldiers during fighting
in the Gaza Strip.
Givati Brigade commander Col. Ofer Winter
told the weekly publication Mishpacha that he “witnessed a miraculous
occurrence, the likes of which he had never seen before during his military
career.”
Winter indicated a predawn raid intended
to use darkness as cover was delayed, forcing the soldiers to move toward their
objective as sunrise was approaching. With the troops in danger of being
exposed at daybreak, Winter explained how heavy fog quickly descended to shroud
their movements until their mission was accomplished. “Suddenly a cloud protected us,” he said,
referring to clouds the Bible says guided the ancient Israelites as they
wandered in the desert. “Clouds of glory.”
Winter said only when the soldiers were
in a secure position, the fog finally lifted.
“It really was a fulfillment of the verse
‘For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to give you victory,’” he
said, quoting Deuteronomy 20:4….
