Please pray — Israel is under the worst attack of arson-terror in years.
Yad HaShmona and many other villages and towns have been evacuated.
Hundreds of cars abandoned on highways. Many burned.
Terror by Fire: Israel Under Coordinated Attack as Wildfires Rage
By Tania Curado-Koenig | April 30, 2025
------------------------------
Israel is burning — not by accident, but by design.
What began this morning as scattered brush fires has escalated into one of the most severe coordinated arson-terror events in years.
Entire regions near Jerusalem, Yad HaShmona, Shoresh, Neve Ilan, and more have been engulfed by flames.
Major highways like Route 1 and Route 3 have been closed. Vehicles have been abandoned mid-escape, some overtaken by fire.
As of this writing, dozens of communities have been evacuated, emergency services have been mobilized, and multiple fires are burning simultaneously — a known tactic of coordinated arson.
This is not just a wildfire.
This is fire as terror.
What We Know So Far
- Fires broke out across multiple fronts, with at least five active ignition zones around Jerusalem alone.
- The Israel Fire and Rescue Authority, IDF units, and medics have responded urgently.
- At least 12 civilians have been treated for smoke inhalation, according to Israel’s national emergency services.
- Arson is suspected. While not yet officially confirmed, the pattern, scale, and simultaneity of the fires mirror past terror-linked arson attacks, such as those seen in 2016.
"This is not a coincidence," said one senior official in Jerusalem. "We are treating this as deliberate until proven otherwise."
URGENT PRAYER RESPONSE
Now is the time to rise. Intercede. Declare. Stand.
PRAY:
1. For rain — both literal and spiritual. That the Lord would send His wind to extinguish what the enemy ignited.
2. For divine protection over homes, children, firefighters, and the elderly — all who are fleeing.
3. For exposure of the perpetrators. That every funding source, every planner, and every act of hate be revealed and stopped.
4. For the remnant to intercede. This is not only a physical crisis — it is a spiritual war.
PROPHETIC INSIGHT
This is not just a natural event. It is a sign. A shaking.
The enemy is attempting to burn the inheritance, scatter the remnant, and ignite fear in the land of covenant.
But the fire will not consume the faithful.
"When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you." — Isaiah 43:2
What is happening in the hills of Jerusalem is not only a security emergency — it is a prophetic confrontation.
The altars of Baal are being exposed. The land is groaning.
And the Lord is calling His people to stand — not in panic, but in prayer.
What Is the Church’s Response?
We don’t just watch the news — we respond from the Spirit.
We must:
- Pray for supernatural protection over towns, homes, children, and elderly.
- Intercede for exposure — that every arsonist and every hidden source of terror be revealed and stopped.
- Cry out for rain — literal and spiritual. That the heavens open, and the land be refreshed.
- Declare the fire of God — not to destroy, but to purify.
A Prophetic Call: Return to the Fire of the Altar
Israel doesn’t need foreign fire — it needs holy fire.
The fire that fell on Mount Carmel.
The fire that purified Isaiah.
The fire that lit the altar without human hands.
"The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out." — Leviticus 6:13
This is a moment not just of crisis — but of clarity.
Will Israel return to the Lord?
Will the Church stand in the gap?
Will the prophets speak, even when others are silent?
Let us not mistake this fire for random smoke.
Let us see — and respond.
