Israel’s wisdom and persistence after declaring war on the evil of Hamas

Following the heinous murderous attacks by Hamas against Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, Israel declared war for the first time in half a century. The last Israeli war declaration came when Egypt conducted a sneak attack on Israel on Yom Kippur in 1973, crossing the Suez Canal into Israeli controlled Sinai. Likewise, the Oct. 7 attack came on the 50^th anniversary of the ‘73 war and on Sukkot, the festival honoring of God for His protection of the Hebrew people during the 40 years they spent in the Wilderness.

Unlike the 1973 war which lasted for 19 days, the current war is nearing a month with no sign of slowing. Since Hamas terrorists ran back into Gaza after their murderous rampage, most expected Israel to immediately conduct a full-scale ground assault into Gaza. With weeks gone by since the Oct. 7 massacre many wonder about Israel’s plan for its stated goal of the destruction of Hamas.
