'Hand of God sent missile into sea'

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.

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!’

And His word says Israel will never be totally destroyed. He is their Protector. And those nations who are a friend to Israel is a friend of His.

7:48.....ALL that the Palestinians and Hamas have to do is stop attacking Israel. That's it.
Hamas is a perfect example of "when you look for trouble, don't complain when you get more than you thought..."
What did they think Israel would do after Hamas fired 2000 rockets at CIVILIAN targets (AND Israel's nuclear reactor)??
Now, they complain (like you) that some of their own civilians are being killed.
Hamas has openly told the world they will not stop until Israel is obliterated and erased from the Earth. And Israel is supposed to take it easy on them?
Please don't plead the case that the same civilians who dance in the street and carry banners proclaiming "death to Israel!" are "innocent".
God protects Israel. It doesn't get any better than that.

*facepalm. So God cared about this particular missle, yet looked upon Isreal with indifference at all the other successful attacks that killed women and children. God looked on with complete uncaring indifference when planes were flown into the trade towers.

Total baloney. People need to start using their brains.

11:06 you don't understand or know God. Start by reading his word. A little hint for you on your question, there are other spiritual forces in this world that are opposed to God.

If you used your brain, you wouldn't have written any of that.
