Seems like I am pounding the Israel war a little too much, But it is getting furious over there. There are now 30 Americans dead. The good news, I just heard a few minutes ago, is that the Hamas have released two American citizens. A mother and daughter from Chicago. Praise the Lord for that.

However, our military bases in Syria, and Iraq are being bomb with drones. One civilian killed. There is no doubt that Iran is behind this. We are able to stop most of the drones, but some are slipping through.
