Palestinians Set the Fire of Hell on Israel, and The Mainstream Media Remains Silent

“I’m shocked and angered at the massive fires in Israel. They’ve already arrested many Palestinians that have set them. It’s Israel’s day of remembrance and they’ve set the nation on fire.”
— Pastor Greg Locke, April 30, 2025

Seeing that the major news media in the US is again silent about a Palestinian attack against Israel, Pastor Locke issued this alert in a Facebook post early Wednesday alongside photos of Israel engulfed in flames. The images told the story mainstream media won’t: Israel is under a coordinated attack—and it’s happening right out in the open for all to see while most of the world continues to look the other way.

More than 100 wildfires erupted on April 30, Yom HaZikaron—Israel’s Memorial Day—as scorching temperatures and dry winds whipped flames across at least 20 locations. Entire communities near Jerusalem, including Neve Shalom, Mevo Horon, and Nachshon, were evacuated, while Highways 1 and 3 were shut down as drivers abandoned their cars and ran for safety. As confirmed by The Times of Israel, Israeli police arrested multiple arson suspects, including a 50-year-old Palestinian man found with lighters, cotton, and accelerants.

This wasn’t a freak act of nature. It was coordinated eco-terrorism.

According to The Jerusalem Post, Hamas issued a call via Telegram urging Palestinians to “burn whatever you can of groves, forests, and settler homes.” Additional messages instructed sympathizers inside Israel to torch vehicles and escalate the chaos. Israeli security officials, as reported by The Media Line, believe the fires were premeditated terror attacks.

Italy and Croatia dispatched firefighting planes to help. The Israel Defense Forces joined civilian responders. At least 16 people were injured as the infernos threatened to spiral beyond containment.

And still—near silence from the major media in the US and the global press. We are witnessing spiritual warfare made visible. This is a prophetic signal flare. And the Church must not hit snooze. Pray for the Peace of Israel. (Psalm 122:6)
