Israel Trains 1,500 Civilians to Repel Next Oct. 7-Style Terror Attack

Israel's Magen48 organisation, in partnership with the IDF, has conducted over 550 training sessions preparing civilian defence squads across 67 Gaza border communities to respond to terrorist infiltrations like the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre. This ongoing militarisation of Israeli civilian life reflects the enduring existential siege on the nation of Israel — a people the Bible describes as perpetually surrounded by enemies in the last days. Scripture foretells that Israel will stand at the centre of global conflict in the end times, with nations rising against her, yet God's sovereign protection over His covenant land remaining certain.
