Fires Raging in Israel

Please hold the good people of Israel in your thoughts and prayers. Numerous fires have been raging there since Thursday, on the first day of Hanukkah, and over 40 people have already been killed, many injured and  families are facing losses of their homes, businesses and property.


Angel at Woman Honor Thyself has a detailed post with many pictures and a lot of information. She offers this prayer for those who are now in mourning:

To all those who lost loved ones …
Please Hold tight to memories for comfort.
May your memories give you strength, now and always.
God bless.

Amen.


Ynetnews has a report about how Hezbollah and the Arab media are rejoicing in Israel's tragedy and gleefully crowing about the difficulty that the Israelis are having in containing these massive infernos.

Steven Plaut at News Real Blog has a two part detailed report on the fires, which are very close to where he lives and works in Haifa. Read them here (part one) and here (part two).

Atlas also has coverage, including links for those who would like to contribute assistance to the good people of Israel on their time of need. 

These are the worst fires in Israel's history and the causes are under investigation. The fires are still raging; now into their third day. Updates can be found at Ynetnews.

Please pray for people Israel and her people.
