Hamas Claims Ceasefire Is “Triumph Over Israel”

Zechariah 12:3 “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

Editor's Note: Jim Bakker teaches to watch Israel closely because it is the prophetic timeclock for the unfolding of Last Days events. In Matthew 24, Israel is the fig tree that the Lord told His people to observe to understand the times. It is like a barometer of what is happening in the nations.

An open-ended truce in the conflict between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas goes into effect tonight but it is not being billed as a cease-fire by the terrorists.

Hamas sent out a graphic of three Palestinian gunfighters pointing weapons at an Israeli soldier who was raising his hands in the air while holding a white flag.  The caption on the graphic says “and so Gaza has triumphed.”

Hamas also had their members take to the streets after the beginning of the cease-fire to celebrate their “victory.”

Mosques throughout the Gaza strip were broadcasting messages of celebration and celebratory chants of “Allahu Akbar” while Palestinians who had been in shelters because of the conflict made their way outside.

Hamas launched a final barrage of rockets toward Tel Aviv just before the start of the cease-fire.

Israeli officials, however, say the deal does not include any of Hamas’ demands including an airport and a seaport.  No prisoners were going to be released as part of the Egyptian-brokered agreement.
