Per Wikipedia

The pillar of fire is traditionally paired with the manifestation of the divine presence by day as the Pillar of Cloud.

Your right. I had the visual in my head, but thought "smoke" instead of "cloud", perhaps due to this passage.

Exodus 19:18
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

After watching that I am more convinced than ever...

If the Israelis want you gone, it does not matter who you are, or where you are.....you’re a gonner.

“If the Israelis want you gone, it does not matter who you are, or where you are.....you’re a gonner.”

Agreed - these things are always amazing. And it is soooo much different than the terrorists just sending their random rockets over. It really shows the restraint that Israel uses. They could kill these leaders anytime they wanted, but wait until AFTER weeks of rocket attacks. Not that it gives them any better justification or press - but I suppose they think it might. Also they are perhaps trying to honor the “eye for an eye” commandment.

I hope they aren’t doing this half way. They should take out any and every target they can find.
