Israel border area awash with troops following terror alert

Arab Herald Friday 23rd September, 2011

An urgent terror alert was called in southern Israel on Friday following defence warnings of an imminent attack from Hamas terrorists.

Defence chiefs warned that information had been received about an intention from Hamas and other terror groups to carry out attacks on the Israel-Egypt border.

IDF forces in the border areas of southern Israel were suddenly boosted as the alert level was raised.

According to Ynet, IDF officials said the terror plot was possibly an attempt to undermine the Palestinian Authority's statehood bid at the United Nations.

Large army forces were already at the border following a terror offensive four weeks ago near Eilat, in which eight Israelis died.

The troops were boosted further two weeks ago when another warning was issued of a terror cell comprising at least 10 members in the region.

According to IDF officials, military presence in the area is now being reinforced with advanced technology and Air Force support.

He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps".The GOD of Israel will destroy all who come against Israel or seek to compromise the Nation of Israel.If you would read the book of Joel and the book of Obadiah ,you would know without question the Fate of Israels enemies.I would stongly recomend Israels enemies (all who seek Her destruction ) Repent and come to the God of Israel and ask forgiveness for their hate of their brother and the shedding of innocent blood.God will forgive BUT you must tell HIM you are truly sorry and mean it from the bottom of your heart,then and only then will there be peace.Now I know that my words are probably falling on deaf ears but no matter I must be obediant to the God of my fathers.I am praying for all of you.

Four days ago marked two decades since Ratko Mladic became the commander of the main staff of the army of Republika Srpska - the VRS. On that day, Mladic began his full participation in a criminal endeavour that was already in progress. On that day, he assumed the mantle of realising through military might the criminal goals of ethnically cleansing much of Bosnia. On that day he commenced his direct involvement in serious international crimes.
