Gaza strikes continue as Israel-Lebanon talks open in Rome

Israeli airstrikes killed at least five people in Gaza, including a nine-year-old girl, while diplomatic talks between Israel and Lebanon began in Rome and Israel prepares for October elections. The unrelenting conflict in Gaza, simultaneous multi-front diplomacy, and impending Israeli elections place the nation at a convergence of military, political, and prophetic pressure points. Scripture repeatedly identifies Israel as the epicentre of end-times activity, with ongoing wars and rumours of wars surrounding Jerusalem as a key marker of the last days.
