IDF engineers have been active in the fields around Bethlehem. The birthplace of Jesus is now considered to be part of Arab Palestinian territory so what are Israeli troops doing deploying military equipment and troops so close to a civilian area and causing explosions? Israel Today has the answer.
It seems the IDF is finding and destroying Jordanian landmines with the object of clearing useful farmland and returning land to its rightful owners for the use of the village.
Is this a fiendishly clever and diabolical ruse to keep Israeli troops in the West Bank? Or could it be yet another example of Israel's desire to live in peace and harmony with its Arab neighbours?
You decide.
The prophet Ezekiel foresaw today's situation and wrote:
Ezekiel 47:21-23
English Standard Version (ESV)
Very interesting perspective, Ian.
