Hand of God Protecting Israel

Article: We read of miracles in the Bible/Torah and today we are actually seeing miracles happen, God intervening to help Israel against Hamas, who is set to destroy Israel. All of the praying we have been doing all summer and all the mitzvot have had a direct impact and are not only bringing the Jewish people together but are causing miracles. In Judaism, we believe that people must not rely on miracles, they must act on their own. These are two great examples of both at work:

(1) Israel, with American aid, invented Iron Dome, which shoots rockets into the air to stop rockets from Gaza. Last week, as testified by an Iron Dome operator, a rocket was heading straight for Tel Aviv. Two iron dome rockets were sent to stop it, one after another, and neither one worked for a reason no one understands. The Hamas rocket was headed straight for the Azrieli tours, the Israeli pentagon or the main train station. Any of these locations would have been catastrophe. With seconds left before the rocket hit, IDF soldiers called emergency services and told them to prepare for the worst. And then, 4 seconds before hitting, a mighty wind came from nowhere and pushed the Hamas rocket into the sea.

(2) IDF soldiers were undergoing a pre-dawn raid in Gaza. They were doing it secretly, at night. It took longer than expected and dawn was breaking. If they were exposed, they would likely be killed by Hamas. Suddenly, a thick mist covered them and shielded them onto the raid was over and they were safe. Just like the cloud that protected the Jews in the desert.

In a powerful quote, a journalist asked one of the terrorists from Gaza why they couldn't aim their rockets to do more damage in Israel. The terrorist replied, We do aim them, but their God changes their path in mid-air.”
