📰 What Happened
The family of Sergeant Major Mohammed El Atrash, killed during Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack, continues seeking the return of his body after 667 days. His brother Salem was shown video evidence of Hamas militants dragging Mohammed's body through Gaza's streets and squares. The incident is part of an ongoing crisis involving 50 hostages still held in Gaza, with families unable to properly bury and mourn their loved ones.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The 667-day hostage crisis represents a significant shift in regional warfare tactics, where Hamas deliberately prevents proper burial rites - a violation particularly significant in Middle Eastern cultures. This aligns with Psalm 79's prophecy of God's people being denied burial. The involvement of the El Atrash family, being Arab-Israeli, reflects the prophesied internal divisions within nations (Matthew 24:7). The public display of bodies in Gaza's squares mirrors Revelation 11:9's description of bodies being displayed in streets, suggesting an escalating pattern of end-times persecution tactics.
