Textul din care am citit, tradus si exersat diferitele timpuri: Present Tense Simple, Present Tense Continuous, Past Tense si Present Perfect:
The 72 hour truce is still holding and Israel is prepared to extend it. Hamas rockets and missiles have stopped falling on Israel and the IDF has fully withdrawn from the Gaza Strip. The navy and airforce have ceased firing also. As much as we believe Israel needs to finish the task of destroying Hamas and demilitarising the Gaza Strip, it is nice to have a lull in the fighting and to know that our 2 sons and everyone elses sons are out of danger. So sad that 64 families lost their sons or fathers over the last 4 weeks.
The death, injuries and damage in Gaza is horrific, but they brought it on themselves. The people of Gaza voted for Hamas to be their government. A government committed to the total destruction of Israel, and a government that, even under an agreed ceasefire following the 2012 conflict, sanctioned more than 400 rockets to be fired at Israeli civiilians, from January this year until Israel had no other option that to carry out Operation Protective Edge. A government that educates its people, even the children to hate and kill Jewish people. A government that carries out a war hiding behind its citizens and then bleeting to the news media when civilians are caught up in the conflict.
What will be the final outcome of the 4 week Israel / Hamas war ? Only time will tell . Lets pray that God’s will, will be done – here is a brief account of the 4 week war …..
Gaza War Snapshot
* Number of rockets fired from Gaza at Israel: 3,356
* Number of rockets shot down by Iron Dome: 578
* Number of rockets shot from Gaza that landed inside Gaza: 475
* Number of rockets launched from civilian facilities inside Gaza at Israel: 597 rockets — of these, “approximately 260 were launched from schools, 127 from cemeteries, 160 from
religious sites such as mosques, and 50 from hospitals.”
* Number of rockets the IDF believes Hamas and its allies began with in Gaza: About 10,000
* Number of rockets IDF believes they destroyed: About 3,000
* Number of rockets IDF believes Hamas and its terror allies still have in Gaza: About 3,000 to 4,000
* Number of terror tunnels destroyed by the IDF: 32
* Number of terrorist targets struck by IDF: 4,762 — “most of them rocket-launching sites, nearly 1,000 of them command and control centres, about 240 Izz ad-Din al-Qassam
Brigades buildings, nearly 200 weapons storage and manufacturing facilities, nearly 150 terror training compounds and 1,535 additional terror sites. “They were part of a
strategic plan of Hamas, and an investment of approximately $100 million worth of materials, and we have now removed that threat,? Lerner said of the tunnels.
–
* Number of Palestinians killed: 1,867 people in the Gaza Strip, according to estimates based on figures given by Hamas — the Israelis say between 750 and 1,000 militants were
killed in Gaza.
* Number of Israelis killed: 67 people, all soldiers except for three civilians.
* Number of Gazans displaced by the war: about 400,000 Gazans, many of whom left their apartments and places of work because Hamas and other terror groups were operating
in or near them, and the IDF told them via text messages, phone calls and leaflets to leave the area so they wouldn’t be injured or killed in airstrikes against the militants.
* Amount of humanitarian relief the IDF said transferred into Gaza during the war: 1,856 trucks carrying 40,550 tons of food, medical and humanitarian supplies.
* Number of IDF soldiers called up from reserves during the war: 82,208
The Lord bless you as you bless Israel by standing in defense of her right to exist in the land given to the Jewish people by the God of Israel. Lets pray that Israel will turn back to their God. Do not be silent at this most strategic time, but share this with your fellow Christians, share it with your pastors, and with anyone you have a chance to speak to. Lets also pray a for break-through to the Muslim world, and please remember to pray for all of the soldiers in the IDF – they are defending and fighting for the soon coming Kingdom of God.
