(Montreat, NC) — Reverend Billy Graham goes home. The world renowned evangelist was released from a North Carolina hospital on Sunday where he was treated for pneumonia. The hospital says the 92-year old Graham has gone back to his home in Montreat, North Carolina. He was in Mission Hospital in Ashville for five days. Doctors there say his recovery will be slow but that he responded very well to treatment. Drs. expect Graham to have a gradual recovery and he should be able to return to normal activities in a matter of weeks.
(Jerusalem) — Israeli troops opened fire on pro-Palestinian demonstrators attempting to breach its borders on three fronts, killing at least 13 people. Scores more were wounded at Israel’s borders with Syria, Lebanon and Gaza.
Clashes also erupted in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as Palestinians commemorated Nakba Day, the anniversary marking the 1948 war in which hundreds of thousands of people became refugees after being forced out of their homes.
Thousands of Palestinian refugees in Syria marched towards the village of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in 1967. At least four people were killed by Israeli troops as they crossed the border, Israel Radio reported. Up to 20 were injured, according to the Israeli Magen David Adom ambulance service.
A statement from the Israeli military said: “Thousands of Syrian civilians breached the Israel-Syria border near the Israeli village of Majdal Shams.
“IDF forces opened fire in order to prevent the violent rioters from illegally infiltrating Israeli territory. From initial reports there are dozens of injured that are receiving medical care in a nearby hospital.”
Most of the inhabitants of Majdal Shams, a large village close to the border, hold Syrian citizenship and have family on the other side of the border, from whom they are cut off. The Israeli army declared the area, which is heavily mined, a closed military zone on Sunday.
Despite being occupied by Israel for 44 years, the Golan is usually calm. Syria has repeatedly demanded Israel hand back the area.
In Gaza, around 60 people were injured by shelling and machine-gun fire when protesters approached the heavily fortified Erez border crossing, according to Palestinian medical sources. Israelis living near Gaza were advised to stay inside bomb shelters.
The Israeli security forces were braced for wide-scale protests on Nakba Day – the most highly charged day in the Palestinian calendar – and had deployed around 10,000 troops and police along the country’s borders and in the Palestinian territories. The West Bank was subject to a 24-hour closure, with only emergency access permitted.
There was also unrest in East Jerusalem, fuelled by the death of a 17-year-old Palestinian boy who was shot in the stomach during clashes on Friday. He died in hospital on Saturday.
In Tel Aviv, an Israeli man was killed and 17 injured when a truck ran into vehicles and pedestrians. It was not clear whether the incident was an accident or a deliberate attack. The truck’s 22-year-old Israeli-Arab driver said he lost control of the vehicle due to faulty brakes.
Continue to pray for the peace of Israel.
(Undated) — People are heading to higher ground as the swollen Mississippi River keeps rising. Greenville, Mississippi should see the river peak at 65 feet today, less than half a foot shy of the record set in 1927. In Louisiana, thousands of homes and farms could flood after the Army Corps of Engineers opened the Morganza Spillway over the weekend to divert water away from Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Meanwhile, cities upstream are still dealing with floodwaters.
