Islamic Syrian Crescent Moon on Mount Dov

April 16, 2008

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

I have often stood at the top of the Mount Herman Ski Lift and gazed on the crescent shaped lineament described in the first article from the DEBKAfile.

Each time I have surveyed it, I have visualized the day the forces of Islam would be roaring south in the valleys below where I was standing.

One day, most likely at some point in time between 2010 and 2015, a crescent shaped Islamic wave of Arab and Persian forces will sweep south into Israel as Syrian artillery and planes catch Israeli forces on Mount Herman napping, and the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period will have begun. But for now, it is only the rattling of the sword. However, it is definitely a genuine form of practice for the future event, which everyone knows must eventually occur.

The second article is a Blog we issued 15 months ago about the ever tightening Islamic Crescent Moon locking itself like a vice around the Star of David.

All the Islamic Nations and Israel have been conducting War

game exercises along their borders and testing their ground and air defense mechanisms for the coming war. Everyone knows it will arrive, but no one knows exactly when.

The third article is from the Daily Alert and discusses

the inevitability of Middle East War.

If the United States and Israel would blow the Sam Hill out of Iran with conventional air power for about two months and then abruptly stop, it would change the attitudes of Hamas, Hizbullah, Syria, and Iran rather dramatically, and likely move the war of Antichrist to an even later time than I am guesstimating, but I think the U.S. and Israel are playing a game of Blind Man’s Bluff with Iran, and are unlikely to do as I have just recommended.

Exclusive: Another Syrian armored division masses on Israeli-Lebanese borders

April 14, 2008, 7:52 PM (GMT+02:00)

DEBKAfile’s military sources report that Damascus has deployed the 10th armored corps at the Massaneh crossing of Mount Hermon. It links up with the northwestern positions

the 14th division took up last month on the Syrian-Israeli border which cuts through the Hermon range.

Syrian troops are now strung along a continuous crescent-shaped line from the central Lebanese mountains through Mt Dov on the western slopes of Mt. Hermon and up to southeastern Lebanon.

This deployment, commanding Syria’s Israeli and Lebanese borders, is under the command of the president’s brother, Maher Assad.

The 10th armored corps was moved forward straight after Syria’s snap civil defense exercise which crashed after three hours last Thursday, April 10.

The exercise was ordered without notice by president Bashar Assad on the last day of Israel’ s five-day homeland defen

se drill.

DEBKAfile’s military sources are criticizing Israel officials for attributing Syria’s latest military movements to domestic troubles inside the Syrian leadership. They say this is throwing sand in the public’s eyes and at one with the government’s practice of playing down all the heightened military threats to Israel – whether from Syria, the Lebanese Hizballah or the Palestinian Hamas in Gaza.

The IDF’s Northern Command officers report that the Syrian army’s buildup opposite Israel has accelerated in April and warn that its units are arrayed for a quick transition to attack mode.

The link-up between Syria’s 10th and 14th divisions on the border running through Mt Hermon should have been a wake-up call for the government in Jerusalem, they say, and elicited counter-moves to show Damascus that Israel is ready to meet every contingency.

Sunday, April 13, prime minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas met briefly to rough out the position Abbas will put before President George W.

Bush whom he meets at the White House in ten days. Olmert made the gesture of licensing the entry to Israel of 5,000 Palestinian construction workers.

This gesture was challenged by security services as a carrying the risk of terrorist infiltration and by economic leaders who say the Palestinians will take Israeli jobs.

Foreign minister Tzipi Livni is in Qatar, where she is to address the 8th annual Doha Forum on Democracy, Development and Free Trade. Qatari rulers plan to persuade her that Israel should back their initiatives to patch up quarrels in the Arab world between Egypt and Syria and the Palestinian Fatah and Hamas. Neither is in Israel’s interest, because conciliation would confer legitimacy on Arab and Islamist radicalism and spur its expansion.

Livni, who knew she would come under pressure during her Doha visit, insisted on going through with it andtreating it as a breakthrough in Israeli relations with the Gulf emirates.

Islamic Moon Cradling Israel in its Crescent!

January 17, 2007

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The ancient moon god, who once held the descendants of Ishmael in his grasp, has now succeeded in cradling Israel like the Islamic symbol of a star in a crescent moon flag. The crescent now curves from Syria via Lebanon to Gaza, like an open mouth ready to devour Israel.

How appropriate that the Islamic crescent moon and star flag of the old Turkish Ottoman Empire pictures a crescent moon seemingly poised to devour a star. How ironic that the Star of Jacob will, in reality, in the last days, devour the crescent moon of Islam, according to Balaam, the son of Beor.

Numbers 24:17 – I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

The latest Military Intelligence reports continue to confirm that both al-Qaeda and Iran are continuing to strengthen the crescent of power they have linked across the northern border of Israel and down to Gaza. The two articles from Haaretz and the New York Post give the details of the strengthening of that Islamic crescent.

Military Intelligence: Al-Qaeda Sent to Lebanon to Attack UNIFIL, Iran Rearming Hizbullah, Hamas Is Strengthening

Gideon Alon

The head of IDF Military Intelligence, Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin, told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday: “Between several dozen and several hundred al-Qaeda activists have arrived in Lebanon from Iraq and Pakistan, in accordance with instructions from the group’s leadership to deploy in Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt in order to carry out terror attacks.” He added that the targets could be UNIFIL and other Western interests. He said a small number of al-Qaeda operatives had infiltrated Gaza, and a few have been found in Nablus in the West Bank.

According to Yadlin, Hizbullah has not left southern Lebanon and arms transfers from Syria are continuing apace, It is currently focused on rehabilitating its strength with the help of large quantities of arms from Iran.

Yadlin said Hamas’ financial situation is improving, along with its standing in relation to Fatah, adding that Hamas members have received training in Syria and Iran. He said Fatah incurred most of the casualties during the recent Palestinian clashes in Gaza, but Fatah remains the main power broker in the West Bank.

Yadlin said 77 Palestinian suicide bombers were arrested in 2006, 45 of whom were en route to an attack. Terrorists fired 1,200 Kassam rockets at Israel in 2006, 700 of which hit populated areas. (Ha’aretz)

Facing Iran: Arabs See No Choice but War

Amir Taheri

A recent tour of Arab capitals shows that Arab leaders appear resigned to a military showdown with the Islamic Republic of Iran and are preparing for it. Tehran has spent vast sums of money and energy to procure clients in the Sunni Islamist Hamas movement and leftist guerrilla groups.

The Islamic Republic has launched a new program under which thousands of Palestinian “volunteers for martyrdom” are trained in Iran, Lebanon, and Syria to fight both Israel and the secular faction of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

One reason for Tehran’s “increasing cockiness” is Ahmadinejad’s success in convincing the Khomeinist leadership in Iran that the U.S. is in “strategic retreat.” “The American Great Satan is wounded and bleeding,” says Hassan Abbasi, Ahmadinejad’s strategic advisor. “If we break Bush, no other American leader would have the heart to defy Islam,” he says. Tehran started beating the drums of war over a year ago. If one listens carefully, one can now hear the response from the Arab side – in the form of faint drumbeats that are bound to get louder in the months ahead. (New York Post)

Possible Worst Food Crisis of This Century!

April 15, 2008

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Charles Dickens created the famous threesome Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, but the threesome from the foursome in the Book of Revelation, namely the rider with the sword, the rider carrying famine, and the rider carrying plague, will be truly manifested by the death toll they bring on a fourth part of the earth.

During the last three and one half years of the Tribulation Period the full effects of the last three writers will be at their maximum life taking existence, as described in the following Archive Prophecy Update 145E on November 12, 2003

ARCHIVE SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 145E

November 12, 2003

The Seals, the Trumpets, and the Vials

Part 5 – Affects of Three Seal Riders on Earth

Revelation 6:3-8 – And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. [4] And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. [5] And when he had opened the third seal, I heard

the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

[6] And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

[7] And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. [8] And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Some seem to have the impression that these three riders pass their individual judgments on the earth, with each one departing the scene when the next one shows up, and then the last one, the pale horse rider death, departs the scene as soon as the fifth seal opens. I don’t know where the idea came from, but I am convinced that these three riders are going to be galloping until the end of the last 1260 days of the tribulation, and will be striding at their greatest pace at Armageddon. The red horse pictures bloodshed, the black horse represents famine, and

the pale horse represents death. These three phenomena will be experiencing their peak occurrences during the final great battle of Armageddon. The “them” in verse eight refers specifically to the rider on the red horse (death by weapon of war), the rider on the black horse (death by hunger), and the rider on the pale horse (death by pestilence). By the close of the tribulation period they will have killed billions across one-fourth of the earth (the known world in John’s day). The word translated as “earth” is “ges,” and it does not mean population, it means “earth.” Many do try to make this a fourth of the world’s population, but that cannot be the case, because “ges” never means population.

The final feast of wildlife on the slain bodies will reach its maximum at Armageddon.

Ezekiel 39:4 – Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Revelation 19:17,18 – And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; [18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

Isaiah 66:15,16 – For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. [16] For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.

The three riders are still going strong at Armageddon.

“Rush to Biofuels Is Driving Up Price of Food”

Paul Vallely, The Independent

QUOTE: “FOOD CRISIS IN 36 COUNTRIES”

EXCERPTS:A dramatic rise in the worldwide cost of food is provoking riots throughout the Third World where millions more of the world’s most vulnerable people are facing starvation as food shortages grow and cereal prices soar.

It threatens to become the biggest crisis of the 21st century.

Rising prices have triggered a food crisis in 36 countries, says the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

The hike in prices means the World Food Program is cutting food handout rations to some 73 million people in 78 countries. The threat of malnutrition on a massive scale is looming. .

Governments have begun to negotiate secretive barter arrangements as the price of agricultural commodities leap to record highs.

Ukraine and Libya are close to a deal on wheat. Egypt and Syria have signed a rice-for-wheat swap.

The Philippines has just failed in a rice deal with Vietnam.

All across the world, cereals, meat, eggs and dairy products are becoming dearer.

“Food prices are now rising at rates that few of us can ever have seen before in our lifetimes,” said John Powell of the World Food Program. . . .The soaring cost of oil … has another impact.

It increases the price of fertilizer, and also the costs of food processing and transport.

There is increasing concern about the rush to biofuels. .

O Washington DC! Israel drafts plan to cut Washington in Two

Allows a Cuba security control, asks U.S. to vacate buildings housing Senators and Representatives.

Posted: April 10, 2008

11:30 pm Eastern

By Ima Passionate Compromiser

WASHINGTON – Israel, which has been mediating negotiations between America and the Cuban terrorists here, has proposed a plan to divide Washington DC, Russian Review has learned.

The plan, divided into separate phases, among other things calls for Israel eventually to forfeit some of the Legislative Buildings, America’s least holy site.

According to the first stage of Israel’s plan, which was obtained by IMA, the U.S. would give Cuban terrorists some municipal and security sovereignty over key terrorist drug neighborhoods in eastern sections of Washington.

The Cubans would be allowed to open some official institutions in Washington, could elect a mayor for the Cuban side of the city and would deploy terrorist police forces to maintain law and order.

The initial stage also calls for the Cubans to operate Washington municipal institutions, such as offices to oversee suicide bombing and rocket launches when needed.

After five years, if there are any native Washingtonians still alive, both sides keep their certain commitments called for in a larger principal agreement, according to the Israeli plan the Cuban terrorists would be given full sovereignty over the eastern Washington neighborhoods and also over sections of the White House.

The plan doesn’t specify which parts of the White House would be forfeited to the Cuban terrorists.

After the five year period, the Cubans could deploy official security forces in Washington separate from a police force and could replace major governmental institutions, such as a president’s office, and offices for the finance and foreign ministries.

The Israeli plan leaves the U.S. and the Cuban terrorists to negotiate which Washington neighborhoods would become Cuban.

According to worthless diplomatic sources familiar with the plan, while specific neighborhoods aren’t officially listed, Israeli officials recommended sections of Washington’s Old City as well as all the drug neighborhoods become part of the American side.

As IMA reported previously, many of the DC neighborhoods were constructed illegally on property once owned by American Indians.

According to diplomatic sources, the plan is being discussed by the U.S. and the Cubans but has not yet been accepted.

The sources said the plan was delivered earlier this month by Israeli Minister of National Self Interest during her trip to the region to push Cuban American negotiations started 157 years ago, which aimed to create a Cuban state in America before the end of the first year.
Israel is “very deeply involved” in all aspects of the negotiations, according to a top diplomatic source.
To demonstrate the level of U.S. involvement, the source pointed to recent Israeli supervision of U.S. commitments to dismantle about 50 Washington anti-terror roadblocks and to bulldoze what are called illegal outposts, or Washington American communities constructed on former American Indian Land.
Israel oversaw the removal of each and every roadblock, making sure the roadblocks were actually removed,” said the source.
In December, Israeli Vice Premier Letsa Giveitaway said America “must” give up sections of Washington for a future Cuban state, even conceding the Cubans can rename Washington “whatever they want.”

America drafts plan to cut in 2

Allows Palestinian security control, asks Israel to forfeit Temple Mount

WorldNetDaily

JERUSALEM – The United States, which has been mediating negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority here,

has proposed a plan to divide Jerusalem, WND has learned.

The plan, divided into separate phases, among other things calls for Israel eventually to forfeit parts of the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site.

According to the first stage of the U.S. plan, which was obtained by WND, Israel would give the PA some municipal and security sovereignty over key Arab neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem.

The PA would be allowed to open some official institutions in Jerusalem, could elect a mayor for the Palestinian side

of the city and would deploy police forces to maintain law and order.

The initial stage also calls for the PA to operate Jerusalem municipal institutions, such as offices to oversee trash collection and maintenance of roads.

After five years, if both sides keep their certain commitments called for in a larger principal agreement, according to the U.S. plan the PA would be given full sovereignty over the eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods and also over sections of the Temple Mount. The plan doesn’t specify which parts of the Temple Mount would be forfeited to the Palestinians.

After the five year period, the PA could deploy official security forces in Jerusalem separate from a police force and could also open major governmental institutions, such as a president’s office, and offices for the finance and foreign ministries.

The U.S. plan leaves Israel and the PA to negotiate which Jerusalem neighborhoods would become Palestinian. According to diplomatic sources familiar with the plan, while specific neighborhoods were not officially listed, American officials recommended sections of Jerusalem’s Old City as well as certain largely Arab Jerusalem neighborhoods such as Jabal mukabar, Beit Hanina, Shoafat, Abu Dis and Abu Tur become part of the Palestinian side.

As WND reported previously, many of the Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem, including all of Shoafat, a large Arab section, were constructed illegally on property owned by the Jewish National Fund, a

Jewish nonprofit that purchases property using Jewish donors funds for the stated purpose of Jewish settlement.

According to diplomatic sources, the plan is being discussed by Israel and the PA but has not yet been accepted.

The sources said the plan was delivered earlier this month by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during her trip to the region to push Israeli-Palestinian negotiations started at last November’s U.S.-backed Annapolis summit, which aimed to create a Palestinian state before the end of the year.

Since Annapolis, negotiating teams including Israeli Foreign Minister Tzippy Livni and chief Palestinian negotiator Ahmed Qureia have been meeting weekly while Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and PA President Mahmoud Abbas have been meeting biweekly.

The U.S. is “very deeply involved” in all aspects of the negotiations, according to a top diplomatic source.

To demonstrate the level of U.S. involvement, the source pointed to recent U.S. supervision of Israeli commitments to dismantle about 50 West Bank anti-terror roadblocks and to bulldoze what are called illegal outposts, or West Bank Jewish communities constructed without government permits.

“The U.S. oversaw the removal of each and every roadblock, making sure the roadblocks were actually removed,” said the source.

“Also, even though Israel prepared a report of all illegal outposts and handed it to the Americans, U.S. officials have been doing their own very specific independent investigating to find each and every illegal outpost and then oversee their dismantlement,” the source said.

Olmert’s government has hinted a number of times it will divide Jerusalem.

In December, Israeli Vice Premier Haim Ramon said the country “must” give up sections of Jerusalem for a future Palestinian state, even conceding the Palestinians can rename Jerusalem “to whatever they want.”

“We must come today and say, friends, the Jewish neighborhoods, including Har Homa, will remain under Israeli sovereignty, and the Arab neighborhoods will be the Palestinian capital, which they will call Jerusalem or whatever they want,” said Ramon during an interview.

[17] And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

Luke 21:25-28 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

This afternoon, Monday, April 14, I am sending out notification this Blog is up on our Web Site at:

http://www.tribulationperid.com/

on both JUNO AND GMAIL. Some of you may not be able to read the MEMRI Video on one of them, so I am sending it out on both.

So you will receive a double notification on this one. Please forgive me for causing you to make two delete clicks.

I have been greatly saddened to watch the many elements of the once great Democratic Party taken over completely by liberal elements since Harry Truman’s presidency. My sadness has been because I have lived among, worked with, learned with, and taught those of the Muslim religion. I found very few liberals, many moderates, and some died in the wool fanatics.

The sadness has come because I have watched the liberals beheaded, the moderates becoming fanatics, and the fanatics are now flaming swords of Jihad.

But the depth of my sadness is what I see among the growing liberal philosophy that we can use the diplomacy path of talk, talk, talk, loan, loan, loan, give in, give in, do nothing, do nothing, yield, yield, yield, sympathy, sympathy, sympathy, and then somehow, someway, these naughty, misunderstood, disadvantaged, little children of Islam will become nice little people of love and good will.

The problem with Islam is that it is a totally counterfeit belief generated by Satan himself, and therefore incapable of changing the heart of man, who is born with a wicked, deceitful heart. So instead of changing it by spiritual rebirth in Christ, Islamic belief makes it reach its full potential of evil in its hate for those who don’ t believe Allah is

the True God.

Believe me when I say I absolutely do not hate anyone who differs with what I believe, be they Jew or Gentile.

If I were to do so I would be subduing the love of Christ in my heart for my fellowman. I do not hate any individual, but I do hate the false teachings that block men from the salvation in Christ or cause the saved not to walk in the truth after they have been saved.

Jude:21-25 – Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. [22] And of some have compassion, making a difference: [23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. [24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, [25] To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

A human’s heart without Christ can only walk after its own deceitful imagination, because what he or she thinks is what they are.

Just as Israel, in the Prophet Jeremiah’s day, walked after the imagination of their own heart in following the teachings of the false prophets, rather than the teachings of the true God, so does Islam today. Israel fell down and worshipped a false god Baalim.

Islam has followed their example, in following the false teachings of Muhammad, and fall down daily to worship another false god.

Jeremiah 17:9 – The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it

?

Proverbs 23:7a – For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:

Jeremiah 9:14 – But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

Hamas MP/Cleric’s Friday Sermon: We Will Conquer Rome, the Two Americas, and Eastern Europe

In a Friday sermon that aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV on April 11, 2008, Yunis Al-Astal, Hamas MP and cleric, told worshipers that Rome, “the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital,” would soon be conquered by Islam, just as Constantinople was. It then, he said, would become “an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe.”

Yunis Al-Astal: “Allah has chosen you for Himself and for His religion, so that you will serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession, security, and consolidation of power, and even to conquests thorough da’wa and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world.

“Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our Prophet Muhammad.

“Today, Rome is the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and has planted the brothers of apes and pigs in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam. This capital of theirs will be an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe.

“I believe that our children, or our grandchildren, will inherit our jihad and our sacrifices, and, Allah willing, the commanders of the conquest will come from among them.

“Today, we instill these good tidings in their souls – and by means of the mosques and the Koran books, and the history of our Prophets, his companions, and the great leaders, we prepare them for the mission of saving humanity from the hellfire at whose brink they stand.”

Maybe Jimmy Can Get Us Some Hamas Gas!

April 14, 2008

It would certainly be nice if Jimmy Carter, (who had such productive diplomacy and fruitful military operations against the Iranian forces, when Iran overran our embassy, took the staff captive, and held all of them prisoners during the rest of his presidency), could use some of his great wisdom and persuasive ability to get us some Hamas gas.

However, considering the last paragraph in the second excerpt from the DEBKAfile, which follows the Voice of America Article, Hamas leader Mashaal in Syria may persuade Jimmy to give Hamas some of our gas to make up for the shortage Mashaal “says” is caused by Israel.

The last paragraph reads as follows:

“The hard-line Hamas leader Meshaal will capitalize on his forthcoming talks with ex-US president Jimmy Carter to play on his sympathies by accentuating the “plight” of Gaza’s Palestinian population and attributing its cause to Israel’s ‘collective punishment.’”

Israel Accuses Hamas of Fabricating Hum anitari

an Crisis

By Robert Berger

Jerusalem

13 April 2008

Israel and militant Palestinian leaders in the Gaza Strip are trading accusations over an alleged fuel shortage. As Robert Berger reports from VOA’s Jerusalem bureau, the Islamic militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza, is warning of dire consequences.

At the weekly Cabinet meeting, Israeli ministers blasted accusations by Hamas that Israel is sparking a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. Hamas said it will have to shut down Gaza’s main power plant if Israel does not resume fuel shipments.

Deliveries were suspended last week after a cross-border Palestinian attack on a fuel depot that killed two Israeli civilians.

Hamas official Taher Alnunu said if Israel does not resume fuel supplies there will be an explosion and the Palestinian people will break the siege by force.

That could mean storming the Egyptian border as they did in January, or possibly trying to storm the Israeli border.

An Israeli army spokesman, Major Peter Lerner, says there is plenty of fuel that was already transferred to a depot inside Gaza before supplies were temporarily suspended.

“There is fuel on the Palestinians side still waiting to be picked by the Palestinians. It is about 800,000 liters of diesel and another 140,000 liters of gasoline,” said Lerner.

Lerner told Israel Radio that Hamas is to blame for the suspension of additional supplies.

“They have to first of all ask the question, ‘Why do terrorists attack the only fuel depot for Gaza?’, these terrorists working under the auspice of Hamas itself,” he added.

Hamas said the fuel depot was attacked to protest Israel’s crippl ing blockade on Gaza, which

includes reductions in fuel and food supplies. Israel imposed the blockade in response to daily Palestinian rocket attacks, but says it is allowing in enough vital supplies

to prevent a humanitarian crisis. Israeli officials say Hamas is fabricating a humanitarian crisis to bring condemnation on Israel and win international sympathy.

Exclusive: Israeli and Egyptian forces on high alert on Gaza borders over Hamas threats

April 13, 2008, 1:01 AM (GMT+02:00)

Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshaal voiced this threat Saturday, April 12.

DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the raid by Palestinian gunmen on the Israeli-Gaza fuel terminal – and murder of two of its employees, Oleg Lipson and Lev Cerniak – were meant to set the stage for a mass Hamas assault on the Gaza-Israeli border. Earlier this year, Hamas organized a “popular demonstration” of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who smashed their way through the Egyptian border to Sinai.

After forcing Israel to close the fuel terminal, the Gaza population’s main source of fuel by its attack last Wednesday, Hamas plans to stage a mass protest against purported fuel shortages which is designed to end up flattening the border fence with Israel.

Our sources report that these shortages are a myth: Hamas has tons of heavy oil and petrol in stock, but reserves it for “military use.” The population is kept short and ripe for action against “the Israeli and Egyptian blockade” of the Gaza Strip.

Cairo had enough of this ruse earlier this year. This time, Egypt has beefed up its forces on the Sinai-Gaza border, built a high wall along the Philadelphi strip and warned any Palestinians attempting an illegal crossing that they would be “shot like rats.”

In addition to preparing for Hamas to smash through Gaza’s borders by means of civilian “protest marches,” Israel is braced for Hamas or its allied terrorist groups to try and secrete suicide bombers into Israel – either from Gaza or by using the terror teams still at large in Egyptian Sinai, where a terror alert remains in force, especially at the holiday resorts.

Friday, the Israeli Negev – civilian locations and army bases – also went on alert after intelligence tip-offs were received of planned Palestinian terror attacks.

The hard-line Hamas leader Meshaal will capitalize on his forthcoming talks with ex-US president Jimmy Carter to play on his sympathies by accentuating the “plight” of Gaza’s Palestinian population and attributing its cause to Israel’s “collective punishment.”
