This is True News, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God. I'm Rick Wiles. Today is Friday, October 20, 2023. The Israeli military is poised to begin a massive ground invasion of Gaza, but the Israeli Air Force has already been pounding Gaza civilian residential areas, churches and hospitals in preparation for the land invasion. Yesterday, Israel bombed an ancient Greek Orthodox church. Today, it demolished 25 residential apartment buildings in Gaza City. Meanwhile, Dmitry Medvedev issued another warning about nuclear war. Doc Burkhardt and I are here to give you the most comprehensive report on World War III. Let's start with this story that just was published minutes ago by the Telegraph in London.

Israel gives 30-minute warning before raising entire neighborhood. Doc, this is, I'm out, I don't have words for what's happening right now. Let's just, I'll report here. This is the little bit that we know. This just came out. Israel leveled a northern Gaza district on Friday, giving families a half-hour warning to escape. In Sara, a northern Gaza town,

residents said the entire district of some 25 apartment buildings was razed to the ground. They received Israeli warning messages on their mobile phones. At breakfast, followed 10 minutes later by a small drone strike that hammered the message home. After another 20 minutes, F-16 warplanes brought the buildings down in huge explosions and clouds of dust. Doc, Netanyahu is a madman. He's a lunatic. He is the modern Herod the Great. He's out of control.

And the United States has given him total permission to do whatever he wants to do. You're right. They've just given him carte blanche. And evangelicals here in the U.S. would say that the Israelis gave them a compassionate warning. 30 minutes. Imagine you're eating breakfast. you're feeding your children, and you're told in 30 minutes this building you're living in is going to come down. You're going to lose everything you have, your furniture, your clothing, the babies, the diapers, everything.

You're going to lose it all in 30 minutes. You have 30 minutes to get out of the building and run, not just get out of the building. You've got to get away from 25 apartment buildings. Darrell Bock Right, crumbling around you, exploding around you. Dr. Darrell Bock With children, elderly people, crippled people. The Israeli Zionists are lunatics. They're absolute demon-possessed lunatics right now. They've got a bloodlust that can't be satisfied. Yesterday, they bombed the oldest Christian church in Gaza.

And they admitted today that they did it. But nobody's going to say anything about it. No. They're reviewing the situation. Yeah, they're reviewing. Like the hospital that they bombed the day before. They got away with all of them. Speaking about the church, I'm going to show you an article that was published before the church got bombed.

Earlier this week. Yes. This is a recent article published by Al Jazeera on October 16th. Today's the 20th. War knows no religion. Gaza's oldest church shelters Muslims and Christians. And in this story by Al Jazeera, it talks about one family in particular and their experience in seeking shelter in this particular church. When an Israeli air raid destroyed Walasso Bay's house and much of her neighborhood, the Palestinian Muslim sought shelter in Gaza's oldest church. A Muslim seeking shelter in a Christian church. Think about that.

Yes, but the church opened its doors and said, come in. Darrell Bock Yes. At the church of St. Porphyrius, she found not just sanctuary but a feeling of belonging to one family, united by both the terror bombs exploding around them and a hope that they could survive Israel's attacks. Darrell Bock Well, certainly Israel wouldn't bomb a church. Darrell Bock You would think. No, the Zionists would do it.

Yes. Because they plan to wipe out Christianity in Gaza. There won't be one church standing, Doc. The Muslims didn't tear down the churches. This church has been there. I'm trying to remember when the first church

was built. I want to say like the 600s it's been there a long long time think of what it has survived but it can't survive zionism that's right because it's the beast who can make war with the Well, the article goes on to say, as I'm telling the story of Miss Sobey, she telephoned other relatives in North Gaza and asked them to make their way to the church too. So, you know, she's inviting her relatives to seek shelter here as well. So Sobey and her family are among hundreds of Palestinians

across different faiths who have found safety, at least for now, at the church. Now remember, this was Tuesday of this week. We're here living the day, not sure if we can make it to the night. But what eases our pain is the humble and warm spirit of everyone around, Sabae said. So the Christians were kind to the Muslims who came to the church saying, can we hide here? Can we sleep here?

They bombed our homes. Can we sleep in the church? And they found a welcoming spirit of kindness. But what did the Israelis do? We're going to find out here in just a moment. She described receiving enormous support from the priest, and so far the church has escaped Israeli missiles. Well, that was Tuesday. The Israeli military has bombed many places, the sanctuary, said Father Elias, a priest at St. Porphyrius, adding that he was not sure that Israel won't bomb the church, even though it provides shelter for hundreds of civilians. Well, he was fast forward to today. It was Tuesday, but here this is yesterday. This

happened yesterday. That photo there is the church. It's part of the church. It's not the entire church, but that is part of the church. Israel bombed it, and they used American-made F-16s to bomb the church. Let that sink in. So America, all you flag-waving patriots that are so proud of standing with Israel, that's what you did. You bombed a church. Now you got God involved in this story.

You bombed his church. Jesus Christ is now involved in this controversy now. You bombed his church. And there were children in the church. And You bombed his church, and there were children in the church, and you bombed his house in the name of Zionism. Darrell Bock Right, in a building where families were seeking shelter from the war. So this is Newsweek today, Gaza Greek Orthodox Church Blast, what we know.

Darrell Bock So during a press briefing on Friday morning, Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Lieutenant Richard Hecht told Newsweek that the Israeli military was reviewing the incident, though added it was very aware of some damage to the church. Let's put that still back up there and see what there's some damage damage looks like there okay hick said the idf was planning to release visual confirmation of what happened and what we were targeting suggesting the information would be released shortly and that the israeli military was working hard to provide clarity half the quote here is in quotes rick uh the idf spokesperson's

unit later told newsweek in a statement that it was responsible for damage to the church. Listen to that. That it was responsible for damage to the church, but that it can unequivocally state that the church was not the target of the strike. Darrell Bock So did an Israeli missile go awry like they said the Palestinian – the Hamas missile? What's their explanation here? Or the missile grew a mind of its own and targeted the church.

No, they targeted the church. Of course they did. So, last night, IDF fighter jets targeted the command and control center belonging to a Hamas terrorist involved in the launching of rockets and let's see what one wall looks like. center was damaged. We are aware of reports of casualties. The incident is under review. Let's put the still up once again, and let's see what one wall looks like. Do you think there are any casualties in that rubble? Only God knows how many Christians and Muslims are buried beneath the rubble of that church. This is Zionism at its best. Yes, this is what they really do well.

That is Zionism right there. The destruction of Christian churches in Palestine. By the time the wimpy world leaders get enough courage to say to Israel, you might want to slow down on bombing churches and hospitals. This doesn't look good. By the time they get around to saying something that wimpy, there won't be a hospital or church standing in Gaza because Netanyahu is going to destroy all of Gaza. Yes. And he's getting away with it.

Nobody is challenging him. He's Herod the Great. Doc, it's not the first time a Herod, and Herod was a Jew. It's not the first time a Herod has gone on a mass slaughtering campaign in Palestine. Yes, that's true. We read about it in the Bible. And also here in the Bible was big into building programs. He would raise entire neighborhoods to build stuff. Just to build another building. So it follows right in the pattern. Let's take a look at the report on the destruction of the church.

This is the Episcopal News Service. And what you're seeing on the screen, those of you who are listening on radio, is a press conference of Jerusalem Christian leaders. Yes, and this press conference was several days ago. It was in relation to the Gaza hospital. Yes, the hospital. So the headline is, Deadly Blast at Anglican Hospital in Gaza was Crime Against Humanity. So it says Anglican Hospital. The Baptists originally built the hospital.

The Anglicans were managing it. And everybody knew it as the Baptist Hospital because it had been that name for decades. So this press conference is not about the church that was bombed yesterday. This is about the hospital that was bombed a couple days earlier. And these are the Christian leaders of Jerusalem uniting together to denounce the Israeli war crime of bombing a hospital and killing 500 people. So we have information about this press conference.

So Anglican Archbishop Hossam Naoum decried the blast that reportedly killed hundreds at Al-Alai Arab Hospital in Gaza as a crime against humanity. And he called for warring parties on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to bring an end to the violence plaguing the Holy Land. Naum, who leads the Anglican province that includes the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, said many Palestinians had come to the Anglican-run hospital seeking a safe haven from the hostilities around them. Groups were gathered October 17th in the courtyard singing songs, calling for peace, he said. Soon after, the courtyard was decimated by an apparent rocket blast. And the National Catholic Register also weighed in with an article as well. Patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem hold press conference after the Gaza hospital explosion.

And so we actually have the statement that they put out. We'll get to that here in just a moment. On the evening of Tuesday, October 17th, the day Christian communities in the Holy Land had dedicated to prayer and fasting for peace, an explosion went off at the Anglican Hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds of civilians. The bombing sent a shockwave through communities who had prayed throughout the day and ignited anger throughout the Middle East and across the world. Approximately 500 people lost their lives in the explosion, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. As a hospital, the location was supposed to be protected by international law, and hundreds of people had found refuge there over the past week. And so we have the Jerusalem church leaders. So when we think of the church

leaders in Jerusalem, we think maybe there's just several. But there are a number of denominations that operate in and around the city of Jerusalem, and you're seeing just a few of the leaders there. It includes the patriarchs and heads of the churches in Jerusalem. Some of the names. Abraham Azar, bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan in the Holy Land. Oh, we met him. Oh, you did? No, Doc, we met him. Oh, yes.

Abraham Azar. That's right. We met him in Bethlehem at Christ's checkpoint. Yes. He's a very good man. So he's there. The disciples asked Jesus about the end of the checkpoint. Yes. He's a very good man. So he's there. The disciples asked Jesus about the end of the age. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled for all this must happen. But the end is not yet for nation will rise against nation and kingdom

against kingdom. And there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in many places. I'm Dr. Robert A. Shuler, and I'm on a mission to encourage Christian families to prepare for tough times. That's why I'm endorsing American Reserves. American Reserves can help you build a food storehouse like Joseph in Egypt. American Reserves offers emergency food packages for a month or full year. Buckets of freeze-dried beef and chicken, assorted vegetables and fruits, and powdered eggs are ready for quick delivery. A panic can cause store shelves to be emptied in hours. Be wise. Be ready.

This just was reported today in Times of Israel. Abbas refused to hold phone call with Biden during Wednesday's visit. He also refused to meet with him in Jordan. And so did King Abdullah. Right. and President al-Sisi of Egypt. And then we found out that the Saudis were snubbing Blinken, too. So we basically destroyed any kind of hope we have for dialogue with any of these countries, haven't we? We have.

I asked yesterday, what are we getting out of it? The people are asking Erdogan, whose side are you on? Are you supporting the Zionists who are killing the Gazans? Whose side are you on? But Erdogan's getting phone calls from NATO. Yes.

You better walk the line. You're in NATO, and the party line says Israel can do anything it wants to do. But you see now mass protest. Israel had to evacuate their diplomats, warning all Israelis to get out of Turkey. I have never seen anything like this in my years on this earth. Never. And I lived through the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. I was a kid, but I remember it. I remember it. I've never seen anything like this.

We don't know where the destruction is going to be. We don't know how extensive the destruction is going to be. But I would say right now, Doc, based on everything I'm seeing, there is a 95% likelihood of a nuclear war in the near future. I have never said those words ever on this program in 25 years. But everybody's talking about it. I mean, they're talking about it casually now.
