Headline: Israel Air Force attacks Hamas target in Gaza in response to rocket fire
Earlier three projectiles were launched towards southern Israel – no injuries reported. The IDF spokesman announced on Friday evening that Israel’s air force launched precision strikes on the infrastructure of the Hamas terrorist organization in central Gaza. According to Palestinian sources, four people were injured in the attack on Hamas’ training facility in the Bureij refugee camp. There are conflicting reports as to the severity of the injuries. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, the IDF Spokesman said: “Since the beginning of August multiple rockets have been fired towards southern Israel, most falling short in the Gaza Strip. Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live normal lives but instead terrorists choose to use the Gaza Strip as a launch pad for rocket attacks. Hamas, must fulfill its responsibilities or face the consequences.” Earlier on Friday, three projectiles were fired at Israel. One of them landed in the Kissufim area of Israel, a kilometer away from the border with Gaza. Army Radio reported that according to security sources the other two projectiles landed inside of Gaza. There were no injuries reported.

Headline: Hamas urges Palestinians to attack settlers after second death from arson
Hamas called Saturday for “open and comprehensive confrontation” with Israel after the father of a Palestinian toddler killed in a firebombing by Jewish extremists last week died of his burns. “Nothing will stop these murderous settler attacks and… we cannot wait until they come into our villages and our homes,” Hamas spokesman Hossam Badran wrote on Facebook from his base in Qatar. “Our people in the West Bank have only one choice: that of open and comprehensive confrontation against the occupation.” Saad Dawabsha died earlier on Saturday in hospital in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba where he was being treated for third degree burns, Palestinian official Ghassan Daghlas said.

Headline: Islamic Waqf Authority Guard Arrested on Temple Mount
In a new twist, a Waqf Islamic Authority security guard was arrested Monday morning in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. Israeli security personnel were forced to use pepper spray to bring the situation under control. The incident occurred when Israel Border Guard Police refused entry to a group of Arab minors at the Lions Gate on the grounds they were going to disturb the peace. Usually, it is Jews who are refused entry to the site on such grounds. The Waqf Authority guard intervened and began to argue with the Israel Police officers. When they refused to allow the entry, he then tried to attack them, according to security sources. Israeli police immediately arrested the guard and defended themselves with pepper spray when he tried to attack them. Security footage from the scene also shows that a number of other people in the area, including several other Waqf security officials, were also affected by the spray as well. Visits by tourists to the site continued uninterrupted following the incident. It is highly unusual for Israeli forces to arrest Muslims at the site, and completely rare for Waqf officials to ever be taken into custody.

Headline: Holy Land Catholic body urges action against Jewish extremists
The body in charge of Roman Catholic properties in the Holy Land has called for legal action against a Jewish extremist group and its leader after he condoned burning churches. “The danger and threats to the Church and to Christians in Israel are imminent,” the Custodian of the Holy Land wrote in a plea to Israeli Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein seen by AFP Monday. The letter called on Israel to take immediate action to outlaw the extremist Lehava organization and prosecute its leader Benzi Gopstein. The letter followed attacks, allegedly by Jewish extremists, on Palestinians and Christian sites in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.

Headline: Activists rally around Palestinian prisoner as Israel sets up emergency force-feeding ward
Palestinian prisoner Mohammed Allan could become the first person to be forcibly fed after Israel recently authorized the practice for inmates on hunger strike. Allan’s lawyer says his client, who has not eaten for almost 60 days, is “very frail,” and the process could “kill him.” Israel is currently setting up a special ward to implement the force-feeding. Allan has been kept under arrest and in administrative detention since November, despite not having been charged with any offense. He has been on hunger strike for 57 days as of Monday, refusing medicine and vitamins and only taking water.

Headline: Bomb explodes near Cairo court, wounds three policemen
Four people, at least three of whom were policemen, were wounded on Monday when a bomb exploded under a traffic sentry post near a Cairo court, security sources said. Bomb disposal experts defused a second device they found inside a black bag while searching the area following the blast, state news agency MENA said. Egyptian authorities have pledged to end a wave of Islamist militant violence that has swept across the country but sporadic attacks on high-profile locations in Cairo and elsewhere have continued. The explosion occurred in the affluent northeastern Heliopolis district and wounded four people, the health ministry said It was claimed by Ajnad Misr, a militant group that emerged in January 2014 and has targeted security forces in and around Cairo. “God Almighty made it possible for a company of our heroes to target a gathering of criminal security forces in the vicinity of Heliopolis Court with a bomb that led to the serious injury of two of their senior officers … and a conscript,” the group’s media wing said on Twitter.

Syria Headline: Islamic State assault in northern Syria kills nearly 40 rival rebels
An Islamic State assault on a town in Syria’s northern Aleppo province has left nearly 40 rival insurgents dead. IS fighters suffered 10 killed during the assault on Om Hosh, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Sunday. U.S.-led coalition airstrikes are reported to have hit IS positions during the assault, which ended after 37 rival rebels were killed, 20 went missing, and the town fell into IS hands. The militants are reportedly attempting to cut off a road linking the city of Aleppo to its northern countryside, which borders Turkey. U.S. Central Command reports two airstrikes against IS forces near Aleppo on August 6. SOHR did not clarify the allegiance of the rival rebels, but U.S.-trained and equipped militants have suffered recent setbacks while operating near Aleppo.

Syria Headline: Nusra Front withdraws from ISIS frontline
The al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front has withdrawn from frontline positions against ISIS north of Aleppo and ceded them to other rebels, leaving an area of northern Syria where Turkey wants to establish a buffer zone. A Nusra Front statement dated on Sunday criticized a Turkish-U.S. plan to drive ISIS from the Syrian-Turkish border area, saying the aim was to serve “Turkey’s national security” rather than the fight against President Bashar al-Assad. The Nusra Front, an enemy of ISIS, said participation in the campaign was forbidden. The U.S. and Turkey last month announced their intention to drive ISIS fighters from a strip of territory in northern Syria near the Turkish border, providing air cover for Syrian rebels in the area. Nusra said the Turkish government and the U.S.-led alliance against ISIS were seeking to direct the battle according to their interests and priorities, and said Syrian groups taking part were not doing so of their free will. “Facing this current scene, our only option was to withdraw and leave our frontline positions (with ISIS) in the northern Aleppo countryside for any fighting faction in these areas to take over,” the group said. It added that the Nusra Front would maintain frontlines with ISIS in other areas including Hama province and the Qalamoun mountain range near the border with Lebanon.

Syria Headline: Syrian rebel group fires 1,000 missiles on Shiite towns: monitor
Rebel militants have reportedly launched missile attacks against the two towns of Fuaa and Kafraya in northwestern Syria. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Monday, the rebels fired around 1,000 rockets, homemade projectiles and mortar shells on the Shia towns in the restive province of Idlib on Sunday night. The UK-based group provided no exact figures on the casualties, but said there were deaths and injuries. A coalition of rebel groups, including al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra Front, has already taken most of Idlib Province and is trying to capture Fuaa and Kafraya, which are still under control of the Syrian army. The militants say the attacks on the towns are in retaliation for the growing advances of the Syrian army near the Lebanese border.

Headline: Palestinians, Iran to work together for Israel’s nuclear disarmament, official says
The Palestinian Authority and Iran have agreed to work together toward holding an international conference to seek the nuclear disarmament of Israel, a senior PLO official who visited Tehran in the past few days said. Ahmed Majdalani, member of the PLO Executive Committee, held talks in Tehran with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamed Zarif. He also delivered a letter from PA President Mahmoud Abbas to Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani. Majdalani said on Monday that his visit to Iran resulted in agreement on reviving the idea of an international conference to rid the region of Israel’s nuclear arsenal and weapons of mass destruction. Voicing support for the nuclear agreement between Iran and the world powers, Majdalani said that the accord would create a positive atmosphere for ensuring security and stability in the Middle East. The PLO official said that his visit to Iran was aimed at refuting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that Iran’s nuclear program poses a threat to Israel and peace. He claimed that Netanyahu was using the Iranian issue to avoid fulfilling Israel’s obligations toward the peace process. The Palestinians are now hoping that the Palestinian issue would return to the center stage as the essence of the Middle East conflict.

Headline: Afghan president slams Pakistan over Kabul attacks
A suicide bomber killed dozens of cadets at a Kabul police academy and insurgents struck an area near a U.S. special forces base on Friday in a wave of attacks in the Afghan capital that began with a huge early morning truck bomb explosion. The attacks came just over a week after the Taliban announced a new leader and appeared to dash any hope of a swift return to peace talks between the insurgent movement and the government of President Ashraf Ghani. A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility for the suicide attack on the police academy, in which security sources said at least 50 or 60 people had been killed or wounded. “The bomber was wearing a police uniform and detonated his explosives among students who had just returned from a break,” a police official said. Shortly afterwards, two explosions hit an area north of Kabul airport close to a U.S. special forces base and insurgent fighters followed up with gunfire, with fighting continuing into the early hours of the morning.

Local officials said at least 16 people were injured in the blast. The incident is the latest in a series of recent deadly attacks following the announcement of a new Taliban leader. Talking after the attack, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani accused Pakistan of sending “messages of war” and harbouring terrorist training camps. Kabul’s deputy police chief, Sayed Gul Agha Rouhani, told reporters that a suicide bomber had driven a vehicle into the first checkpoint on the road into the airport. Images showed a large plume of smoke rising from the site of the blast and locals reported seeing ambulances approaching the scene.

Headline: Morocco Accused of Being Behind Terrorist Attacks in Mali
Morocco is accused of being behind the latest terrorist attacks executed in Mali by the jihadist group MUJWA in order to wreck the good offices of Algeria in the neighboring country. The attacks resumption in Mali just some months after the signing of the peace and reconciliation agreement in Algiers is more than enough proof of the aims of this movement whose finances come mainly from trafficking hashish and cocaine. The Algerian press accuses Morocco to remotely control these terrorist operations in order to disrupt negotiations between the Malian actors under the auspices of Algiers. An accusation widely reinforced by the information relayed by French press sources. Indeed, according to a dispatch published on September 5, 2012 by the magazine Jeune Afrique, “the French intelligence services claim that weapons have recently been delivered, via Burkina Faso, to the Movement for the uniqueness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJWA)”. “As a result, French officials are perplexed: how trucks loaded of weapons can cross Burkina without the approval of the authorities?”, Jeune Afrique reports, while the Sahrawi authorities had accused Limam Ould Chafai of being the relay contact between Rabat and MUJWA. Since the overthrow of President Compaoré, Ould Chafai fled to Morocco where his family was already for years before.

A new round of rallies was planned in and around Ferguson, Missouri, on Monday, hours after a man was critically wounded in a gun battle with police when peaceful protests to mark the fatal shooting a year ago of an unarmed black teenager by a white officer erupted into violence. On Sunday night in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, several volleys of gunshots rang out as police in riot gear tried to disperse demonstrators blocking traffic and smashing storefront windows along a street that was a flashpoint of riots last year after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot dead. The death of Brown and a grand jury’s decision to spare the officer, Darren Wilson, from criminal charges led to a wave of demonstrations that boiled over into rioting and arson at times and spawned sympathy rallies across the United States.

Headline: Group linked to Al-Qaeda says responsible for Mali siege: Al-Jazeera
Suspected Islamist militants attacked a hotel in central Mali used by U.N. staff, killing at least six people, taking others hostage and holding off troops encircling the building on Friday, residents and military sources said. A Russian and a Ukrainian were among those being held inside the Byblos Hotel, officials from their countries said. There were up to eight other captives and South African and French citizens had also been staying there, government officials said. Friday’s violence began with a raid on a military site in the town of Sevare, around 600 km (400 miles) northeast of the capital Bamako, that was successfully repelled by government troops, according to Mali’s U.N. peacekeeping mission, MINUSMA. The attackers then stormed the hotel near the airport before 8 a.m. (4 a.m. EDT), according to witnesses. Smoke rose from the hotel and heavy weapons fire rang out through the day as government forces attempted to dislodge the gunmen. The body of a white male victim was visible in front of the hotel, a town resident said. Five Malian soldiers were killed in the clashes, Maiga said. Three attackers, one strapped with explosives, also died. MINUSMA confirmed in a statement that one of its international employees was among the dead, but did not give the victim’s nationality. Sources with knowledge of an internal U.N. briefing said that two U.N. contractors remained missing.

Headline: Greece hopes for bailout deal this week
The Greek government hopes negotiations for a new bailout will be concluded this week, with eurozone finance ministers possibly endorsing the plan as soon as Friday (14 August). Greece needs the up-to €86 billion bailout before next Thursday (20 August), when it has to repay €3.2 billion to the European Central Bank (ECB). Talks between Greek finance and economy ministers, Euclid Tsakalotos and George Stathakis, and representatives of Greece’s creditors, the EU, the ECB and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), were held all weekend. Economic reforms, budget cuts, and prior actions – the measures to be taken before the first aid payment is disbursed – were discussed, according to the Wall Street Journal and Reuters news agency. “Efforts are being made to conclude the negotiations, the horizon is by Monday night or early Tuesday”, a Greek official was quoted as saying by Kathimerini newspaper. If talks are concluded, the Greek parliament could be called back from its summer recess to vote on a two-article bill comprised of the memorandum of understanding signed with the creditors and of a list of prior actions to take. As for the reforms voted on 15 and 22 July as a condition to start the bailout negotiations, Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras will have rely on opposition parties to gather a majority. As rebels from Tsipras’ own Syriza party continue to oppose the conditions of the bailout deal, Nikos Pappas, a minister without portfolio, warned on Sunday that Syriza would not allow “a party within a party”.

Headline: Russian GDP Plunges 4.6%
Russia’s economy shrank the most since 2009 after a currency crisis jolted consumer demand, while a selloff in oil threatens to drag the country into a deeper recession. Gross domestic product contracted 4.6 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier after a 2.2 percent decline in the previous three months, the Federal Statistics Service in Moscow said on Monday, citing preliminary data. That was worse than the median forecast for a 4.5 percent slump in a Bloomberg survey of 18 analysts. The Economy Ministry had projected that output shrank 4.4 percent in the period, calling it “the lowest point” for Russia. The rout on commodities markets has overshadowed the first signs of stabilization in Russia by hammering the ruble and shaking a country that relies on oil and gas for about half of its budget revenue. The nation is enduring its first recession in six years after last year’s currency crisis and a surge in inflation eroded consumer buying power as sanctions over Ukraine choked access to capital markets. “While second-quarter growth surprised on the downside, perhaps far more importantly is the fact that the outlook for the Russian economy has deteriorated so far in the third quarter,” Piotr Matys, a London-based foreign-exchange strategist at Rabobank, said by e-mail. “The central bank may have to pause the monetary policy easing cycle at a time when local banks are still cut off from external sources of funding.”

Increase in Drugs Revelation 9:21 “And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.”
In Revelation 9:21 we see Jesus speaking to us about drug’s. The words “sorceries” in Revelation 9:21 is the Greek word pharmakia from which comes our word “pharmacy”. It signifies the use of medicine, drugs, spells, such as those used in witchcraft and those used today by those who are seeking a greater “high”. This generation was to be labeled a drug generation and we are.
Headline: Cocaine seizures off Latin America this year soared to highest levels in 5 years
The U.S. Coast Guard said Monday cocaine seizures off Latin America’s Pacific coast have soared in 2015 to their highest levels in five years. During a press conference in San Diego, federal officials lauded the efforts of the Coast Guard aided by the Navy, federal law enforcement agencies and the navies of allied nations that have resulted in the seizure of 119,000 pounds of cocaine worth about $1.8 billion over the past 10 months. Authorities said that’s more than the total amount of cocaine seized in fiscal years 2012, 2013 and 2014 combined. “This is about more than just trying to keep drugs off U.S. streets,” the Coast Guard Commandant, Adm. Paul Zukunft, said. “The cultivation, trafficking and distribution of narcotics fuels violence and instability throughout the Western Hemisphere, leaving a path of destruction directly to the door step of the U.S.” “We must continue to make progress in our effort to combat transnational organized crime networks to ensure safety and security in our hemisphere,” Zukunft said. Traffickers have been increasingly turning to the high seas to get their loads to U.S. markets, and skirt the tightened security on land at the U.S.-Mexico border. The drugs were seized in 23 separate interdictions by U.S. Coast Guard cutters and Coast Guard law enforcement teams operating from U.S. Navy vessels in known drug transit zones near Central and South America, resulting in the apprehension of more than 215 suspected smugglers.

Scorching Sun Isaiah30:26 , Revelation 16:8-9 & Revelation 7:16, Malachi 4:1 “Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day that the Lord binds up the bruise of His people And heals the stroke of their wound.” (Isaiah 30:26) “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.” (Revelation 16:8-9) “Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.” ( Revelation 7: 16) “For behold, the day is coming,Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,” Says the Lord of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch” (Malachi 4:1) Prophecy Sign: Drought Jeremiah 50:38 & Isaiah 42:15 “A drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is the land of carved images, And they are insane with their idols.” (Jeremiah)“I will lay waste the mountains and hills, And dry up all their vegetation; I will make the rivers coastlands, And I will dry up the pools.”(Isaiah)
Headline: Sweltering heatwave in Egypt leaves 21 dead
Twenty-one people have died and 66 others were hospitalized with exhaustion as soaring temperatures and high humidity hit Cairo and other parts of Egypt, the health ministry said Monday. The victims, who all died on Sunday, succumbed as temperatures soared as high as 47 degrees Celsius (117 Fahrenheit), in conditions made less bearable by elevated humidity levels. Fifteen people died in Cairo, four in the Delta province of Qalibiya and two in Upper Egypt’s Qena province, the ministry said in a statement. Those who died, including seven women, were all aged over 60. Sixty-six people were admitted to hospital after suffering from exhaustion, including 37 who are still under observation, it added. “There is a big rise in temperature compared with previous years. But the problem is the humidity which is affecting people more,” said ministry spokesman Hossam Abdel Ghaffar. “Long exposure under the sun is a killer.” Meteorological officials confirmed that temperatures in the capital and some parts of the country were higher than average.

Headline: Typhoon weakens over southeast China after 20 dead, missing
A typhoon that lashed Taiwan dumped heavy rain and winds on the Chinese mainland on Sunday, leaving 20 people dead or missing, collapsing homes and trees and cutting power to more than a million homes. Typhoon Soudelor made landfall in China’s Fujian province late Saturday night and was downgraded into a tropical storm as it moved across the region. Rains from the typhoon triggered mudslides in mountainous Pingyang county in Zhejiang province, north of Fujian, killing eight people and leaving two others missing. One was seriously injured, the county government said. The Fujian Civil Affairs Department said that the storm collapsed 36 houses and damaged 281 others. Authorities had evacuated more than 370,000 people and ordered around 32,000 boats back to port before the typhoon struck land. State broadcaster showed people wading in knee-deep water in the provincial capital of Fuzhou and said that some streets were submerged under 80 centimeters (30 inches).
