LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) -- Pictures of a biblical storm are making the rounds in Israel as one news agency is crediting the storm with keeping ISIS at bay.
On the morning of Dec. 1, a storm developed on the Syrian side of the border with Israel, a location near the Golan Heights where ISIS terrorists have previously crossed into Israel.
The storm appeared to serve as a barrier, and notably, it never crossed into Israel. This led several to conclude that God had sent the storm to protect Israel from ISIS.
Israel News Online made their opinion clear on Facebook:
"A weather phenomenon occurred at 8am Thursday on the other side of the Syrian border, in the same place where ISIS attacked Israel.
"This strange storm of what appears to be dust, cloud and rain did NOT cross the border fence into Israel. It sat like a barrier between ISIS and Israel."
