A widespread terrorist threat was issued by Hamas leaders marking Friday, October 13 as “a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication” to jihad via a world-wide “general mobilization.”
With concerns about the intelligence failures that resulted in the most horrendous attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust pronounced, the leaders of Hamas sparked new fears Tuesday issuing a call to rise up in support of their zealotry.
Posting on Telegram, founding member and leader Khalid Mashal gave a speech calling on Muslims around the world to mark Oct. 13 as “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood.”
“We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world,” the message translated according to Memri. “It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively (emphasis added.)”
Al-Aqsa refers to the mosque in Jerusalem built upon the Temple Mount, central to the dispute over who holds the rightful claim to the territory of the Holy Land.
“It is a day to expose the crimes of occupation, isolate it, and foil all its aggressive schemes. It is a day to demonstrate our love for Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa,” the call continued. “It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honor of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted Messenger.”
Rachid Hammami, known as Brother Rachid, a former Muslim who converted to Christianity, summed up the remarks from Mashal with emphasis on his final words, “Funds are important but today we are asking for your blood and souls [to be sacrificed for Palestine].”

The statement further said, “We call upon our rebellious youth throughout the West Bank, in its cities, villages, and uprising camps, in the streets and neighborhoods of Jerusalem, and at the squares of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, to rise up, join massive demonstrations, and shake the ground beneath the feet of the Zionist invaders and their settler gangs. Engage with their soldiers and cowardly army in every place, affirming the unity of destiny and the path towards Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, liberating them from the defilement of the Zionist occupation.”
The global threat to peace and safety comes amidst reports that following their slaughter of more than 1,000 innocents, Hamas intended to begin posting hostage videos on social media wherein those pleading for their lives would be brutally executed.
With an estimated 150 hostages taken, among them men, women, children and potentially Americans, the United States readied forces in the area should direct involvement be needed, including special operations forces standing by on alert to act as “door kickers.”

Reacting to the message from Hamas, podcast host Joey Mannarino and others voiced their concern for the public and warned against leaving home on Friday should the threat prove more than bluster from the radical militants.
“The leader of Hamas just called for a Global Day of Jihad this Friday. Do not leave your homes that day unless there is an emergency,” wrote Mannarino. “Avoid public transit. Avoid airplanes. Avoid public events.”

I was going to go back home this week but figured it would be best I avoid the city that would probably be attacked first in the likely event of a terrorist attack—
Washington, DC.

It’s clear that there are people at the highest level who knew the attack on Israel would happen.
An Egyptian intelligence official said Israel ignored repeated warnings of ‘something big’. Israel also has one of the most advanced militaries in the world and works in close…

The founder of Hamas, who lives in luxury in Qatar, has called for terrorist attacks across the globe on Friday. High risk not just in the Middle East, but also in Europe and America. Especially for Jewish targets.
We might want to ask why we allow a terrorist leader to live…
