At least seven Palestinians, including three women and a child, were killed in Israeli air strikes on a residential building and civilian vehicle in Gaza City on the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, as Israel targeted a senior Hamas military leader it calls an architect of the October 7 attacks. The ongoing bloodshed in Gaza — with nearly 850 Palestinians killed since the October ceasefire — signals that no man-made peace arrangement can bring lasting resolution to a conflict rooted in ancient biblical geography and covenant promises. Scripture forewarns that Jerusalem and the surrounding land will remain a source of unrelenting conflict until Christ himself returns to establish true peace, aligning with Zechariah's prophecy that all nations will be drawn into confrontation over this land.
