Un habitant d'Afula est décédé dans un abri lors de l'attaque iranienne : « Il était en parfaite santé »

Nissim Zarka, 68 ans, habitant d’Afula, est décédé hier soir (mardi) alors qu’il se trouvait dans un abri sécurisé pendant l’attaque de missiles iraniens sur Israël, vraisemblablement en raison du stress intense provoqué par l’attaque. Son fils Amir a raconté à Ynet : « Pendant les interceptions, il a demandé à s’allonger et a arrêté de respirer. Une équipe du Magen David Adom est rapidement…

Resistance News Network:

In addition to serious damage reported at the “Ramat David” IOF air base, zionist sources report that rocket impacts caused electricity to be cut from parts of “Afula” in northern occupied Palestine. Over 280,000 settlers were forced to take shelter after the barrage of rockets was launched from Lebanon.

Israeli prison authorities have released a wounded Palestinian detainee soon after her arrest to evade responsibility for her serious medical condition, her family and a rights group told Middle East Eye.

Wafaa Jarrar, 49, was violently detained by the Israeli army during an incursion into Jenin in the occupied West Bank on 21 May.

An explosive device hit the military vehicle transferring Jarrar to the al-Jalama military camp near Jenin, causing severe wounds in her legs, according to the Israeli army.

The circumstances of the explosion remain unknown, and no further details have been announced by the Israeli army about the incident.

While in detention, Jarrar underwent the amputation of her legs in the Israeli Afula Hospital, and during that time, an Israeli court issued a decision to transfer her to administrative detention for a period of four months, subject to renewal.

After several tests, it was found that Jarrar had suffered other injuries, including one in the spine and lungs, so Israel announced her immediate release and transfer from Afula hospital to hospitals in the occupied West Bank, which her family considered a renunciation of treatment.

She is currently at the intensive care unit at Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin.

Her husband, Abdul Jabbar Jarrar, had been in Israeli custody since February and is not aware of his wife's condition.

from Gaza, Summer 2006 Jasmine Donahaye

[...] On every tomb I'll build a cairn, and soon the whole graveyard will become a mound, and then a hill, and ten thousand mourners will bring their little stones — from Odessa and Baghdad, from Granada and Seville. Over the field where the dead are waiting, and the kibbutz, the nearest towns, Afula and Beit She’an, and finally Nazareth, the stones will rise and rise — in the Jewish quarter and the Arab quarter, piling up around the bell-towers and minarets, until the bell-tongues are stilled, the crowd chanting shema Yisrael will forget what it was they were called to mourn, and the muezzin will sing Allahu— and choke, but still they’ll come, the mourners until Mount Gilboa itself becomes a tomb, its rare black irises, its iridescent insects undone, and lop-eared goats will roam along a dusty track from ruined Gaza to Sidon, from Tiberias to the scattered remnants of Sdot Yam, so that once again there’s nothing to fight over but stony ground [...]

The city of Afula and its inhabitants are hurting and crying over the fall of private Naama Boni. RIP, 19 years old in her death, yesterday, on the first day of the war. We share with the family's great loss. May you know no more sorrow 🕯️.

The Bnei Menashe (Hebrew: בני מנשה, "Children of Menasseh", known as the Shinlung in India[3]) is a community of Indian Jews from various Tibeto-Burmese[4] ethnic groups from the border of India and Burma who claim descent from one of the Lost Tribes of Israel; some of them have adopted Judaism.[3]: 3  The community has around 10,000 members.[1]

The movement began in 1951 when a tribal leader reported having a dream that his people's ancient homeland was Israel; some tribal members began embracing the idea that they were Jews.[3]: 7 [4] Before the movement's start, the community was largely a Christian one.[3]: 6  Members are from the Chin, Kuki, and Mizo ethnic groups amongst others.[3]: 3 

In the late 20th century, Israeli rabbi Eliyahu Avichail, of the group Amishav, named these people the "Bnei Menashe" based on their account of descent from Menasseh.[5] In 2003–2004, DNA testing of several hundred male community members did not yield conclusive evidence of Middle Eastern ancestry. In 2005, a Kolkata-based study found evidence of maternally descended Near Eastern ancestry but suggested the findings were an artifact of thousands of years of intermarriage between peoples of the Near and Middle East.[6][7] In the early 21st century, Israel halted immigration by the Bnei Menashe; after a change in government, the immigration was allowed again. [...]

By 2006, some 1,700 Bnei Menashe had moved to Israel, where they were settled in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (before the disengagement). They were required to undergo Orthodox conversion to Judaism, including study and immersion in a mikveh. The immigrants were put in the settlements as these offered cheaper housing and living expenses than some other areas.[33] The Bnei Menashe composed the largest immigrant population in the Gaza Strip before Israel withdrew its settlers from the area.[34] Now they are mainly concentrated in Kiryat Arba, Sderot, Beit El, Ofra, Nitzan, Carmiel, Afula and Maalot.[35][...] Ofir Pines-Paz, [Israeli] Minister of Science and Technology, said that the Bnei Menashe were "being cynically exploited for political purposes."[37] He objected to the new immigrants being settled in the unstable territory of the Gaza Strip's Gush Katif settlements (which were evacuated two years later) and in the West Bank. Rabbi Eliyahu Birnbaum, a rabbinical judge dealing with the conversion of Bnei Menashe, accused the Knesset Absorption Committee of making a decision based on racist ideas.[37] At the time, Michael Freund, with the Amishav organization, noted that assimilation was proceeding; young men of the Bnei Menashe served in Israeli combat units.[36][...] In March 2004, Biaksiama [of the Aizawl Christian Research Centre] appeared on television, discussing the issues with Lalchhanhima Sailo, founder of Chhinlung Israel People's Convention (CIPC), a secessionist Mizo organization.[39][40] Sailo said that CIPC's goal was not emigration to Israel, but to have the United Nations declare the areas inhabited by Mizo tribes to be an independent nation for Mizo Israelites.[41] The region has had numerous separatist movements and India has struggled to maintain peace there.[...] In September 2005, a task force from the Chief Rabbinate's Beit Din (rabbinic court) traveled to India to complete the conversion of a group of 218 Bnei Menashe. India expressed strong concern to Israel about the mass conversions, saying its laws prohibit such interference by members of another nation. It wants to avoid proselytizing by outside groups and religious conflicts in its diverse society. In November 2005, the Israeli government withdrew the rabbinic court team from India because of the strained relations. Some Bnei Menashe supporters said that Israeli officials failed to explain to the Indian government that the rabbis were formalizing the conversions of Bnei Menashe who had already accepted Judaism, rather than trying to recruit new members.

Am Israël Haï !  Beaucoup d’événements prophétiques vont se passer en Israël. Il est regrettable que ce ne soit pas suffisamment dit dans les assemblées.

Voici un autre signe du Retour de Yahshua / Jésus :

Israël : 57 nouveaux immigrants de France ont fait l’alyah au mois d’août Les Juifs de France sont de plus en plus nombreux à vouloir, ou penser dans un proche avenir, à faire leur Alyah en Israël.

Israël : 215 nouveaux immigrants des Etats-Unis et du Canada font leur alyah Les nouveaux immigrants ont choisi de s'installer à Jérusalem, Tel Aviv, Ra'anana, Beit Shemesh, Haïfa, Afula et Modi'in.

Sapete che cos'è quello che a voi sembra un semplice pezzo di carta che potete vedere in Fondazione?

Si tratta di uno straordinario documento della storia di Israele: il contratto di compravendita di grandissimi latifondi di Afula, (città situata in Galilea nel distretto Settentrionale d'Israele) redatto nel 1947 in doppia lingua (arabo ed ebraico) tra latifondisti arabi che vendono e il Fondo Nazionale Ebraico che acquista.

Su queste vaste estensioni di terre acquistate dagli ebrei (nel censimento del 1945, redatto dal Mandato britannico per la Palestina, le terre ebraiche sono marcate in colore rosso) e confluite nel Fondo Nazionale Ebraico, l’ONU redigerà il 29/11/1947 la mappa del piano di partizione che i palestinesi ebrei, diversamente dagli arabi, accetteranno facendo nascere lo stato di Israele.

Il Fondo Nazionale Ebraico (in ebraico: Keren Kayemet LeYisrael) viene fondato nel 1901 a Basilea per comprare e sviluppare le terre prima nella Palestina ottomana e poi mandataria per l'insediamento degli ebrei.

Le diverse estensioni territoriali che seguiranno dal 1948 sono il risultato delle guerre volute dagli Stati arabi circostanti.

Altro che terre rubate…

Hebrew media outlets reported a “very difficult incident” in which several Israeli troops were killed in southern Lebanon, coming as Tel Aviv has recently announced an expansion of its ground operation in the country. 

According to Sky News Arabia, nine Israeli soldiers have been killed in a booby-trapped building in south Lebanon, and others were wounded. The soldiers were in the building when the explosives were detonated. 

“All members of an Israeli special force were killed or wounded,” Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported on Wednesday afternoon. Anti-tank missiles were fired at the rigged building.

The reports emerged as several northern settlements and areas in the upper Galilee came under rocket fire from the Lebanese resistance. Sirens sounded in the city of Safad and several settlements. 

Hezbollah also targeted the Kirya defense headquarters in Tel Aviv with drones on Wednesday afternoon for the first time. 

“The Islamic Resistance launched, at 3:30 pm today, for the first time, an air attack with a squadron of high-quality suicide drones on the Kirya base (the headquarters of the Israeli Ministry of War and General Staff, the War Management Room, and the Air Force’s Military Control and Oversight Authority) in the city of Tel Aviv, and hit its targets accurately,” Hezbollah said in a statement. 

Hezbollah also announced a drone attack on the Amos base in the northern city of Afula.

The Israeli army reported on Wednesday that it has moved to a second phase of its ground operation in southern Lebanon, which began at the start of last month. It claimed it was reaching “new targets” belonging to Hezbollah. 

Since entering south Lebanon, Israeli troops have failed to occupy or control a single village, taking heavy losses while making it no further than a few kilometers across the border. Hezbollah’s Operations Room said on Tuesday that its fighters have killed over 100 soldiers and wounded more than 1,000 since last month.
