Israel Begins Five Day
Nationwide Drill to Prepare for War
* Fmr. Delta Force commander Lt.-Gen. Jerry
Boykin to speak at 2010 Epicenter
Conference.
By
Joel C. Rosenberg
(Washington, D.C., May 24, 2010) -- Israelis
on Sunday began a massive nationalwide home
front exercise to prepare for the
possibility of a major with Iran, Syria,
and/or Lebanon.
"The exercise, 'Turning Point 4,' is due to
last five days and be carried out in all
parts of the country," reported Haaretz.
"During the first three days the drill will
involve the Israel Defense Forces' various
command centers, the police, emergency
services, ministries and other government
offices. The exercise, which is held
annually in May, will be broadened on
Wednesday to include civilians, with a siren
sounded at 11 A.M. throughout the country.
Civilians will have to seek cover in
shelters or other secure areas."
* "The main scenario for the police will be
a strike on Be'er Sheva by missiles fitted
with chemical warheads....The distribution
of gas masks, something already underway
over the past three months, will be
expedited during the drill to include other
parts of the country. Home Front Command
will be tested on its ability to shift to
emergency distribution on a national level.
* "Extensive participation by volunteers,
nongovernment organizations and youth
movements is expected to be part of the
drill, especially in helping local
authorities reach people and communities in
distress or needing special assistance."
The Joshua Fund continues to prepare for war
by stockpiling supplies in our new warehouse
and training and equipping those running
seven food distribution centers. At the
Epicenter Conference, I'll give an update on
how those preparations are coming and how
you can be involved in helping. Please keep
praying for peace and please keep praying
for our team and our allies in Israel as we
keep preparing for the possibility of war.
