Israeli Aircraft Strike Targets In Gaza Strip Early Thursday Morning After Palestinian Fire Balloon Attacks Ignite Fields In Eshkol Region Of Israel
Israeli aircraft were striking targets in the Gaza Strip early Thursday, after a wave of fire balloons were launched into Israel by the Palestinians.

Israeli aircraft were striking target in the Gaza Strip early Thursday, Palestinian reports said after a wave of fire balloons were launched into Israel from the Gaza Strip.
Fire balloons are no joke, and have done millions of dollars in damage to myriad acres of fields in southern Israel since the Gaza Strip riots began a little over a year ago. They show no signs of abating anytime soon.
In keeping with Israel’s zero tolerance policy on attacks by Palestinians in the Strip, the Israel air force launched a series of targeted strikes early Thursday. We will update this story as events progress.
Israeli aircraft said to strike targets in Gaza after wave of fire balloons
FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: There was no immediate comment from the IDF. The reports said the aircraft bombed targets in northern Gaza. There were no reports of injuries. The strike came after a large brush fire broke out in the Eshkol region of southern Israel on Wednesday night, with suspicions that it was caused by a balloon-borne incendiary device from the nearby Gaza Strip, officials said.

The blaze began in a field between the Eshkol National Park and Kibbutz Urim, spreading throughout the grasslands and into a wooded area, according to Fire and Rescue Department Eli Cohen.
The fire came amid heightened tensions between Israel and terror groups in the Strip, after a rocket was launched from the coastal enclave, landing several kilometers off shore on Monday night.
Throughout the day, Palestinians launched dozens of incendiary devices, carried by balloons, into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip. However, it was not immediately clear if the Eshkol fire was sparked by one of these objects.
“At this point, the cause of the fire is not known. We will only know after a check by fire investigators,” a spokesperson for the Eshkol region said.
Three teams of firefighters were working to put out the fire. In addition to the Fire and Rescue Department, firefighters from the Jewish National Fund and from the Parks Service were involved in the effort, the fire department spokesman said.
“The teams are working together to get control over the fire and prevent it from spreading,” Cohen said.
Due to the blaze’s location, the firefighters were not able to bring their trucks into the area, requiring them to use smaller, hand-held equipment to battle the flames, the fire department spokesman said.
On Tuesday, a fire broke out near Kibbutz Nahal Oz in the Sha’ar Hanegev region. That blaze was caused by a balloon-borne incendiary device launched into Israel from Gaza. In recent weeks, such arson attacks have tapered off under the ceasefire brokered by Egypt last month. That fire was quickly extinguished by a team of volunteers, the fire department said.
Also Tuesday, the Israeli military deployed Iron Dome missile defense batteries throughout the country, following a rocket attack from Gaza the previous night and ahead of what is expected to be a sensitive next few weeks.
The military expects the coming weeks to be particularly tense, as they will see the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the international Eurovision song competition in Tel Aviv, Israel’s Memorial and Independence days, and the first anniversary of the opening of the contentious US Embassy in Jerusalem.
Following Monday’s rocket launch, Israel scaled back the permitted Gaza fishing zone from 15 nautical miles to six until further notice. The fishing zone had previously been extended to 15 miles — a level that the coastal enclave has not seen in over a decade — as one of the first concessions by Jerusalem under an unofficial ceasefire agreement with terror groups in the Gaza Strip.
On Tuesday morning, the IDF said the Islamic Jihad intentionally fired the rocket from the northern Gaza Strip toward coastal Israel the day before in an effort to derail ongoing efforts to maintain the ceasefire.
While there has not been a complete cessation of violence along the Gaza border since the ceasefire went into effect last month, the situation there has been relatively calm. Terror groups in the Strip have threatened to bring back regular border riots if Israel does not abide by its side of the deal. READ MORE

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Trump Prepares To Visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar And UAE For Trillion Dollar ‘Money Grab’ Amidst Swirling Middle East Turmoil

President Trump prepares to head to Middle East for major money grab with leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates
Everywhere you look, there is end times turmoil, and no place is more tempestuous at the moment than the Middle East. So it is under a dark and foreboding cloud that Donald Trump is preparing to go first to Saudi Arabia, then Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. What’s on the agenda? Money, trillions of dollars, and it has already begun to flow like water. Terror sponsor Qatar is ‘gifting’ a Boeing 747-8 Super Liner dubbed the ‘flying palace’ to President Trump personally, and the president has already said repeatedly that he graciously accepts it. At the least, it smacks of a bribe, and at its worst a Trojan horse. Only a fool would walk through that door, and that’s the memo.
“For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.” Psalm 49:10 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, they are calling Trump’s Middle East Summit with the Saudis ‘MAGA In The Desert’, and Trump has chosen to surround himself with some of the slimiest end times villains there are. The CEOs of Palantir and Blackrock, two very evil corporations, and Mark Zuckerberg of Meta who may just be the worst of a bad lot. The leaders of the three Muslim nations all have the one thing that Trump values more than anything else, money, and they are prepared to spend it in unprecedented amounts. In Trump’s America, everything including citizenship is for sale. Remember Jared Kushner? He now flies under the radar after receiving $2 billion from Saudi Arabia 6 months after the end of his father-in-law Donald Trump’s first term. That same Saudi investment is now worth $4.8 billion. Hmm. Not only that, but among the many rumours swirling around this trip is that Trump will side with the Saudis and recognize Palestine as a nation. On this episode, we bring you all the breaking end times news you need to know!

NTEB SUNDAY SERVICE: The Mother Of Us All

On this Mother’s Day, the apostle Paul tells us that New Jerusalem is the ‘mother of us all’ and the gospels present Jesus Christ as a ‘mother hen’
In Proverbs 31, we see the lengthy mention of a ‘virtuous woman’, and it talks about the many wonderous things she does for her husband, her children and in the administration of her household. A quick reading of the chapter leads you to see the quality of the ‘godly woman’, but a closer examination shows you something quite different. It shows you Jesus Christ as the ‘mother hen’, opening His wings (see Psalm 91) to gather together his children for comfort.
“But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” Galatians 4:26 (KJB)
Just as Eve gave birth to her earthly children, so are we the children of God begotten through the gospel of Jesus Christ. On this Mother’s Day Sunday Service, I would like to show you Jesus Christ and New Jerusalem, which the apostle Paul tells us, is the mother of all of us who believe.

The Mother Of Us All
“She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.” Proverbs 31:26-28 (KJB)
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!” Matthew 23:37 (KJB)
“For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.” 1 Corinthians 4:15 (KJB)
“And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” Genesis 3:20 (KJB)

Is Donald Trump Preparing To Announce That The United States Will Recognize A State Of Palestine To Exist At Saudi-US Gulf Summit Next Week?

Saudi Arabia will host a Gulf-US summit in mid-May during Trump’s Mideast visit. Speculation swirls over a major announcement on a Palestinian state, and peaceful US-Saudi nuclear cooperation
In your King James Bible, the word “trump” appears just twice, and both times it is in connection with the end times event known as the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. The Bible says there will be a “last trump” in 1 Corinthians 15:52, and a “trump of God” in 1 Thessalonians 4:16. We know that Paul says that in order for this rapture to take place, there has to be a “falling away” and the “man of sin be revealed”. Joel tells us that in the end times, God’s land would be parted thus triggering Armageddon. Today the news coming out of Israel is saying that Donald Trump’s “big announcement” he’s been teasing may just be the recognizing of a Palestinian state. That’s the memo.
“I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:2 (KJB)
For the past 16 years, NTEB has stood on the front lines of the end times, keeping a close eye on any and all developments related to the creation of a Palestinian state. During all that time, with over 11,000 articles and more than 3,000 hours of online Bible studies and Podcasts, we have watched world events take us closer and closer to a Palestinian state in ever more narrowing circles. As I write this to you – article number 11,209 – we are a mere kitten’s whisker away from this event taking place. It would be so perfectly fitting that the man that God used to put the world on lockdown and launch the COVID injection, would be the same person who will usher in cryptocurrency and a Palestinian state. Buckle up, Christian, Flight #777 has started her engines.
Gulf diplomatic sources debate if Trump will announce US recognition of Palestinian state
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Saudi Arabia will host a Gulf-US summit in mid-May, part of US President Donald Trump’s first visit to Saudi Arabia during his second term. This follows the summit held on May 21, 2017, during Trump’s first term. The summit, hosted by Saudi Arabia in its capital, Riyadh, was preceded by numerous predictions regarding the announcement that Trump referred to, describing it as a “very important announcement” during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House on Tuesday, May 6.
In addition to what Trump intends to announce, the summit’s agenda and the deals and agreements expected to take place have become the talk of the town, ranging from security and military deals to technology deals and artificial intelligence deals.
President Donald Trump has been teasing all week a “very big announcement, as big as it gets” ahead of his trip to the Middle East on Monday. Could it have something to do with the Abraham Accords and/or recognizing a Palestinian State? Stay tuned… pic.twitter.com/wHyaSX6xdD
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) May 10, 2025
All Gulf leaders are scheduled to participate in the Gulf-US summit, with the exception of King Salman bin Abdulaziz, who has not participated in public events or meetings for a long time due to his health conditions. A Gulf diplomatic source, who declined to be named or disclose his position, told The Media Line, “President Donald Trump will issue a declaration regarding the State of Palestine and American recognition of it, and that there will be the establishment of a Palestinian state without the presence of Hamas.”
The source also added, “If an announcement of American recognition of the State of Palestine is made, it will be the most important declaration that will change the balance of power in the Middle East, and more countries will join the Abraham Accords.”
The source confirmed that economic agreements will certainly be present, but many of them have already been announced, and we may witness the Gulf states being exempted from tariffs. READ MORE
