Tisha B'Av Victory!

**UPDATES IN BOLD**

From The Muqata:

Last night, IDF commandos captured 5 Hizbolla fighters from Ba'albek -- 100 kilometers away from the Israel/Lebanon border. In a daring raid, under heavy covering fire from the IAF, the commandos landed in 2 Black Hawk helicopters, and in a 4 hour covert operation, killed 11 Hizbolla terrorists and captured 5. More details as they become public...

Baruch haShem for this victory on the eve of Tisha B'Av!

Jameel sent me the link to video of the action at his blog: second video from the top.

This is what the Lord Almighty says: "The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace." Zechariah 8:19



May we be the generation who not only derives strength from prophecy, but lives the fulfillment of it!

May you have an easy fast, rejoicing in the victory of promises fulfilled and blessings to come. Baruch haba B'Shem Adonai.



Jameel @ the Muqata has written a timely call to action titled, Woe Unto Israel - A Lament for Leadership. I call on all readers to act upon Jameel's call to contact Olmert's office and speak out against further concessions of Israeli land to terrorist murderers.

Further updates after a day of fasting and prayer for my people and my nation...
