ISRAEL REPORT
Since this report was written by Mike Claydon Iran launched a drone and missile attack on Israel. Mike has just sent a STOP PRESS message, at the end of his editorial below, In spite of much hysteria, it appears that the Iron Dome system destroyed 99% of the drones and missiles, causing little damage.
I urge my readers to continue praying for God’s own Nation and for the Peace of Jerusalem, Surely the Lord must be close to returning for His own.
Gibber! Gibber!

Biblical Prophecy …Today’s News……
Israel Report Saturday 13 April 2024
“Conspirituality”
“Conspiritualists” apparently share a conviction that enlightenment exists in a dimension that is separate and above politics, science and other mundane human concerns
The unbelieving, [soon to be believing one way or another] have now grasped this word to describe a huge section of the Christian church who ended up with egg on their faces at the end of this week.
Why?? Because a vast number of online ministries set aside all the red light warnings of coming prophetic fulfillment and instead concentrated on a bridge collapse in Baltimore, a barge accident in Canada, an eclipse passing over a few towns named “Nineveh” on the American continent, and a Hadron Collider whizzing around the Swiss border in search of a “God Particle“.
These were, apparently, signs from the heavenlies that divine judgement, economic collapse, civil conflict, martial law, the rapture and God knows what else was about to descend on an unsuspecting planet.
Of course, there is a difference between “predictive” speculation and so-called prophetic utterances supposedly from heaven itself.
The problem here though is that many were claiming they were clearly shown that these were genuine spiritual ‘signs‘ to be accepted as warnings to mankind – and many went further and called upon prominent false prophets practicing their dodgy craft to add their views to the subject at hand.
An example. A usually credible American ministry with a large viewing audience world-wide which over the years has interviewed giants in the political, medical, and financial spheres, decided a few hours ago to record and broadcast the words supposedly given directly from the Lord to such a “prophet“.
What ensued was so incredibly childish and hilarious that one had to struggle to avoid bursting into laughter over the absurd wresting of the scripture to fit the outrageous narrative.
To avoid this person being stoned to death we will give but one example only of how the Lord revealed a hidden message in the scriptures so that we would all realise He was alive and well, and deeply involved in the financial and political affairs of the nations.
The text quoted is to be found in Genesis chapter 10, verse 3, describing the building of the Tower of Babel.
“And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter”.
So, the word “bricks” found there speaks of the acronym “BRICS”-the initial coalition of nations, [Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa] operating today under a separate currency arrangement functioning outside the international “SWIFT” system.
Do you see it?
God is notifying us all in this generation of the formation of such a group that will eventually collapse the mighty U.S. dollar and bring the human race into the digital age.
How clever to have this revelation tucked away in the first book of the Bible awaiting its discovery in April of 2024.
Anyway, the interview closed with the announcement that some HUGE event is going to take place on or about the 18th of May this year so make sure to mark that down in your diary.
This could all be laughed off and dismissed if it were not for the incredulous acceptance by the program host, who gasped at the sheer brilliance of all that was being exposed.
Worse, we took a peek at the comments section and there, astoundingly, were many so-called Christians applauding and accepting the ‘prophecies‘ made in the interview!
We wrote our own response and submitted it – not published at this time – we are not holding our breath.
That so many persons who call themselves Christian could view this sort of derangement as believable is alarming.
Anyone who has only a passing acquaintance with the scriptures should know that the Bible is simply not to be treated this way?
Perhaps if these international ministries ceased enticing their audiences to imbibe at these polluted wells of fabrication then many could well find the extra time to read the scriptures and discover for themselves what they are actually saying for us today?
Time for some serious discernment wouldn’t you say??
STOP PRESS
Iran Attacks Israel Directly…….
At the time this Israel Report was transmitted late Saturday 13 April 2014 a promised retaliation attack on Israel by Iran and her Arab proxies had not occurred.
Yesterday, a new threshold in Middle Eastern affairs was crossed.
Iran has directly attacked the sovereign nation of Israel in a widespread missile and drone strike on its cities and military infrastructure.
99% of these weapons never made it to their targets thanks to the IDF, and the U.S. Jordanian and UK air forces.
Not to mention the Almighty God of Israel whose eyes are always upon His nation.
What was an international embarrassment for the Mullah’s of Tehran, turned out to be a revelation as to just how strong are Israel’s defences but also the utter weakness of “The Axis of Resistance” to mount an effective action against her most hated enemy even though they apparently possess some of the world’s most sophisticated rocketry.
Had these weapons foiled the military defences and made it to their targets great damage and loss of life could well have occurred.
It is probably fortunate for the region that they did not, and may have avoided a regional war at this time.
Nevertheless, Israel now has the right, and the legitimate option, to target the nation of Iran on her own soil and we must now wait and see just what the War Cabinet in Jerusalem decide should be done.
Late yesterday Iran declared that this particular action was over – and both Jordan and Israel reopened their skies to commercial aviation.
What now appears to be a lull in hostilities is probably only a short reprieve from the ongoing and seeming inevitability of a wider conflict developing.
Israel Preparing New Targets……
Following last week’s strike in Damascus and threats of retaliation from Iranian officials, Israel has signaled that it will attack targets in Iran if it were to launch a direct attack, according to an Arab report Monday.
Citing an anonymous “Western security official,” the London-based Elaph News reported that Israel has been conducting air force drills in recent days that include preparing to target Iranian nuclear facilities and other key infrastructure.
Netanyahu: “Israel preparing for scenarios in other areas than Gaza”
As the war between Israel and Gaza continues, Israel is also preparing for scenarios in other areas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday, amid concern that Iran was preparing to strike Israel in response to the killing of senior Iranian commanders.
Iran Pulls Back?
Iran was poised to launch attack but delayed it. It could still come at any time…
The Tehran regime wants to avoid regional war at all costs and likely stalled its revenge on Israel after clear and public messages from the U.S., but is determined to retaliate.
IDF officials say an Iranian strike would be unprecedented while Gallant calls for readiness but not panic
Iran was ready to launch its attack on Israel but decided to change or postpone it by a few days, likely after warnings from the Biden administration.
Overnight, the official Iranian news agency Mehr posted on X that Iran temporarily grounded all air activity over Tehran’s airspace starting from midnight due to “military maneuvers.”
Mehr also shared a video showing missiles with the caption “Maybe tonight… Stay tuned.” The agency quickly deleted both items.
U.S. Middle East envoy Brett McGurk [pictured below] on Wednesday relayed a message to the Iranians via the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Iraq.
The message they were asked to deliver was that the Americans are committed to Israel’s defence and that the Israelis may attack Iranian territory in response to a strike.
A similar message was delivered in the strong statements made by U.S. President Joe Biden and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Israeli officials said American warnings are likely related to the Iranian media reports.
This strange chain of events, which can be dubbed “the battle over revenge,” is revealed to be taking place between Israel and the United States and the Iranian regime, that had declared its intent to deal a painful blow to Israel.
Israel and the U.S. are working on both the military and the political fronts, not aiming to try and prevent any act of vengeance, but rather to limit it and prevent some of the casualties and damage it could cause. “It is not what the Iranians try to do to us that matters. It is what they succeed in doing and what damage they may cause and where they would strike,” an Israeli official said.
The assumption is that Iran hopes to avoid a regional war and direct conflict with the Americans, at all costs. Hence the joint Israeli-American statements that, should an attack be launched from inside Iran, Israel and perhaps the U.S. would retaliate by striking on Iranian soil.
Iran not only has nuclear facilities and a military industry that the Israeli and Americans would like to strike, it also has a large oil industry and a series of dams that, if even partially damaged, could fatally impact the Iranian economy.
In another message, the Israelis and Americans said that if a strike on Israel or its assets abroad, that would be carried out by Iranian proxies and would result in severe damage and casualties, would prompt an appropriate retaliation against the proxies and Iran.
Those messages, especially after they were also made publicly by senior American officials, have had an effect in Tehran, which once again hopes to avoid a regional war and an Israeli-American strike within its borders.
Iran Reconsiders Retaliation?
Iran’s mission to the United Nations: Response can be avoided if the United Nations condemns the attack on their consulate in Damascus.
Iran sent a message to the United States according to which the Iranian response to the assassination of the senior officials in Damascus will be “controlled and not escalating“, and it intends to “use its proxies to launch a number of attacks on Israel“
Said the Iranian Foreign Minister: [above] “I emphasized to the foreign ministers of Great Britain, Germany and Australia the necessity of punishing the perpetrators of the attack on our consulate in Damascus, in light of the fact that the Security Council did not issue a statement condemning the Israeli attack.“
LATEST……
Hezbollah has launched dozens of rockets, as well as kamikaze drones, at targets in northern Israel, at least some of which Israeli forces have been able to intercept.
Though the barrage currently appears to be an isolated incident, it is fueling fears that it could be a prelude to much larger unprecedented Iranian and/or Iranian-backed strikes on Israel, which U.S. authorities have been warning could be imminent.
There is a very high potential that such a scenario, in turn, could touch off a full-scale war between Israel and Iran that could quickly drag in other major regional and international players, chiefly the United States.
“Approx. 40 launches were identified crossing from Lebanese territory, some of which were intercepted,” according to a social post from the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on X.
“The IDF Aerial Defence Array successfully intercepted 2 Hezbollah explosive UAVs that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory earlier this evening.“
The IDF also said that the launches caused no casualties.
The U.S. has rushed warships into position to protect Israel and American forces in the region, hoping to head off a direct attack from Iran on Israel that could come as soon as Friday or Saturday.
Reports are coming in of intense jet fighter activity above northern Israel this morning.
Developing…..
Aussie Foreign Minister Penny Wong urges Iran to pull back from any military action against Israel.…….
Atrocious Aussie Foreign Minister Penny Wong has spoken with her Iranian counterpart, saying Australia is “deeply concerned” by signs the Middle-Eastern country is planning a military strike on Israel.
She voiced her worries as the federal government updated its travel advice for Israel.
The government’s latest travel advice for Israel and the “Occupied Palestinian Territories” says Aussies should reconsider their need to travel. It warns there is “an increased threat of military and terrorist attacks against Israel and Israeli interests across the region”.
Wong said on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, she had spoken overnight with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
She urged the Iranian government to “use its influence in the region to promote stability, not contribute to escalation“.
Iran holds Israel responsible for a deadly airstrike on the Iranian Consulate in Syria earlier this month. United States intelligence believes Israel carried it out, but Tel Aviv has not commented on it.
This deranged Socialist is also pushing for Australia to recognize a fictitious Arab state within the sovereign borders of Israel, to pacify her Islamic electorate.
Iran reportedly days away from nuclear capability………….
As Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reportedly mulls plans for a retaliatory attack on Israel, a Washington Post report claims the regime is possibly days away from having sufficient material for a nuclear weapon.
If they don’t have it already?
A report drawing on the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) latest inspection of Iranian nuclear facilities in February, points to “indications of alarming change.”
Specifically, the inspectors witnessed a frenzy of new and renewed activity at Iran’s main nuclear development site, with increasing levels of enriched uranium.
The most concerning discovery made by inspectors is that Iran has increased its production of highly enriched uranium. Although this uranium is not yet of weapons-grade quality, it is significantly purer than the levels needed for civilian energy uses.
This highly enriched uranium could be refined to weapons-grade material within just a few days.
The Iranian regime has been steadily increasing its refinement capabilities since the United States pulled out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) deal, which was initiated under former U.S. President Barack Obama and the European Union.
HAMAS chief Haniyeh‘s Sons and Grandchildren Killed…..
On Tuesday, it surfaced that an Israeli attack killed three sons of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Additionally, some of his grandchildren were killed. One would think there would be a great mourning.
This is not the case when you love death more than you value life. He thanked his nonexistent ‘god’ for their martyrdom’s.
US officials fear most of the hostages held by Hamas could be dead……..
US officials tell the Wall Street Journal that there are fears that most of the Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity could be dead.
The report comes amid talks to secure a hostage release deal and a truce, with some Hamas sources indicating that they are unable to provide 40 living hostages from the elderly, women and female soldiers that Israel is demanding.
It is believed that 129 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza. The IDF has confirmed the deaths of 34 of those still held by Hamas, citing intelligence and findings obtained by troops operating in Gaza.
Russia Deepens Israel Border Presence……….
Russian forces established two more new observation points on the border with the Israeli Golan, and Russian forces were stationed at a military site belonging to the Syrian army at – Tel Meshra, and the other point at Tel Alkarem, west of the town of Jabba in the centre of the Quneitra district.
This increases the number of Russian observation points near the border with the Israeli Golan to 14 points.
This is in the framework of the Russian attempt to reduce the level of tensions in the region, between groups working with the Lebanese Hezbollah and Israel.
On April 3, Russian forces installed an observation point in the area of the western plains of the town of Al-Malaka – which is located in the western countryside of the Quneitra district, near the border with the Israeli Golan.
Indonesia on path to normalizing relations with Israel……….
The world’s largest Muslim country is reportedly ready to normalize relations with the world’s only Jewish State in order to join the OECD.
Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, is on the way to diplomatic relations with Israel, Yedioth Aharonot reported this morning (Thursday).
According to the report, after three months of secret talks between Israel, Indonesia and the OECD – the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, an agreement was reached according to which Indonesia would undertake to normalize its relations with Jerusalem, which in return will remove its opposition to Indonesia’s joining the OECD.
UKRAINE
Kyiv’s Biggest Power Plant Destroyed…….Russia Bombards Ukraine With Hypersonic Missiles & Drones….
Russia launched a major missile and suicide drone offensive on Thursday, bombarding Ukraine’s power grid and underground natural gas storage sites.
Russia air-launched six hypersonic Kinzhal missiles that hit critical infrastructure near Kyiv and a region around western Ukraine’s biggest city, Lviv.
Ukraine’s air defence system was not able to intercept the hypersonic missiles.
Russia’s campaign against Ukrainian energy infrastructure has therefore claimed one of its most prominent targets so far.
A major power plant near Kyiv was reportedly completely destroyed today in a Russian missile and drone attack, part of the continued campaign being waged against Ukrainian energy infrastructure across the country.
The coal-fired Trypilska Thermal Power Plant was just one of the facilities targeted by Russia today, in what Moscow said was retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on its own oil, gas, and energy infrastructure.
Photos and videos shared on social media today showed the Trypilska plant, which is situated around 31 miles (50 kilometres) to the south of Kyiv, on fire.
A large column of black smoke was seen rising from the Soviet-era facility in the imagery, the largest operational power plant in the region in terms of power-generating capacity, according to the operator Centrenergo.
With a capacity of 1,800-megawatt hours, the plant provided power for the Kyiv, Cherkasy, and Zhytomyr regions.
“Everything is destroyed,” said Andriy Gota, head of the supervisory board of the state-owned energy company Centrenergo, which runs Trypilska.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, the latest round of Russian attacks also struck thermal and hydroelectric power plants.
The Ukrenergo grid operator said that its substations and power-generating facilities had been damaged in attacks on the regions of Odessa, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv, and Kyiv.
Ukraine’s largest private electricity company, DTEK, said that two of its power stations had been seriously damaged. The company added that it had already lost 80 percent of its generating capacity as a result of Russian attacks between March 22 and March 29.
Other targets included two underground storage facilities for natural gas, although they continued to operate, Ukrainian state-run energy company Naftogaz said.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, a total of 82 missiles and Iranian-designed Shahed series drones were launched against Ukraine, with local air defences defeating 18 of the incoming missiles and 39 drones.
The missiles consisted of a mixture of Kh-101 and Kh-555 air-launched cruise missiles, Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missiles, Kh-59 air-launched stand-off missiles, and missiles from S-300 air defence systems used in a surface-to-surface capacity.
In a Facebook post, Energy Minister German Galushchenko wrote that power plants near Kyiv, the Kharkiv region in the east, Zaporizhzhia in the south, and Lviv in the west were damaged. Volodymyr Zelenskiyy said on Telegram that a power plant was damaged in Odessa.
Zelenskyy rages at West for ‘turning blind eye‘ on Ukraine war as Russia advances…………
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has fired veiled criticism at Kyiv’s Western allies as he calls for more support.
He suggested the West is “turning a blind eye” to what is happening in Ukraine after Russian forces launched strikes on five regions across Ukraine.
Posting on X, Zelenskyy said in full: “Overnight, Russia fired more than 40 missiles and about 40 drones at Ukraine.
“I thank everyone engaged in recovery efforts after the attack, as well as to every warrior of our air defence system who was on guard last night”.
“We need air defence systems and other defence assistance, not just turning a blind eye and having lengthy discussions“.
“I am grateful to everyone in the world who truly supports Ukraine’s struggle for life. I thank every leader who will not remain silent, who will continue to support us and condemn Russian terror.”
This war was lost months ago – Zelenskyy knows this as do his erstwhile allies.
Just as well he now owns King Charles’s Gloucester pad [see Israel Report 06 April] and a mansion in Florida to run to – soon.
German Troops in ‘Line Of Fire‘: First Foreign Deployment Since WW2………
This week Germany has begun deploying troops to the Baltic state of Lithuania, which marks the first such external deployment of its kind for Germany’s military since World War II — and which is the result of Berlin adopting a firmer ‘counter-Russia‘ posture after more than two years of war in Ukraine.
While merely two dozen soldiers have reportedly arrived Lithuania thus far, the German contingent will be stationed there permanently.
