The Israeli military has established a new mountaineer unit tasked with carrying out operations across the country’s hostile borders with Lebanon and Syria amid worsening tensions over the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
“We are in a multi-front war—Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria, and Gaza, and also farther away,”
IDF Chief of the General Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi said during a visit to the Israel-occupied Benyamin region of the West Bank on Friday March 15.
The Bible says there will be a multi-front war between Israel and her surrounding, nearby enemies. Included in this inner ring war are Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinians in general, Jordan and Syria. Israel is preparing for conflict with all these people and nations. As the war on Hamas nears its end Israel will turn its attention to their other enemies..
Israel will not abide by the breakthrough United Nations security council ceasefire resolution to halt the fighting in Gaza for the holy month of Ramadan. Benny Gantz, an Israeli war cabinet member, said that the resolution had “no operational significance for Israel” as the military continued to operate in the Gaza Strip
“Israel has a moral obligation to continue fighting until the hostages are returned and the threat of Hamas is removed and that is what we will do. The security council’s decision has no operational significance for us,”
Gantz wrote on social media
Relations between President Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel appear to have sunk to a new low, with both men pressed hard by domestic politics and looming elections. Israel is almost entirely isolated in the world now with all countries calling on Israel to halt its attacks on Hamas. Israel on the other hand is determined that Hamas must be destroyed. The media depict this as a war that Netanyahu is charging ahead with regardless of public opinion. But this is not true. The vast majority of those living in Israel support the national unity government. The Bible says that the nearby enemies of Israel will be destroyed. We may be witnessing the start of the inner ring war.
Hinting at Israel’s alleged overnight airstrike in Syria, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says the military will
“expand the campaign [against Hezbollah] and increase the rate of attacks in the north.”
“Israel is turning from defending to pursuing Hezbollah, we will reach wherever the organization operates, in Beirut, Damascus and in more distant places,”
Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Northern Command in Safed. In the past day, a top Hezbollah commander was killed in an IDF drone strike in southern Lebanon, and five other Hezbollah terrorists were among 38 dead in alleged Israeli airstrikes in Syria’s Aleppo. Sixty-eight percent of Israeli Jews want more aggressive military action against Hezbollah, with 42 percent advocating “broad military activity even at the cost of regional war,” according to the INSS polling. Sixty-seven percent say diplomacy alone will enable northerners to come home.
Hamas remains in the sights of Israel and they have vowed to destroy them. But it will not end there. The next target is Hezbollah based in Lebanon to the north of Israel. Hezbollah also call for the destruction of Israel and are 10 times more powerful than Hamas and a real threat to Israel.
Israel cannot afford another October 7th and therefore have decided they can no longer have this threat on their border.
Zechariah 12 speaks of the people “round about” or “nearby” or ”surrounding” being burned up by the governors (leaders) of Jerusalem while Jerusalem remains secure. This is the initial inner ring war that comes BEFORE Russia and Iran invade Israel. There is vacuum created when Israel “win” this war. Remember these enemies of Israel are allies of Russia so when they are removed Russia takes vengeance on them…
Syria at some point will also get drawn into the inner ring war. Israel is attacking Syria especially around Damascus on a weekly almost daily basis. Until recently Russia has turned a blind eye to this but in recent days has become far more hostile to Israel’s actions. The Bible says that Damascus will be removed from being city. Jeremiah says that all the men of war will be killed in one day in that city. Something terrible is coming to Syria that will see the nation fail as a state. Syria is a key ally of Russa who has a naval base and many military bases in the country. When Syria fails due to Israel’s overwhelming attack Russia will decide to enter the void that is left and invade Israel…
Bible quote
Damascus has grown feeble; She turns to flee, And fear has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in labor. Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy? Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts. “I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus,” (Jeremiah 49:24-27 NKJV)
The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:1-2 NIV)
“On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place. (Zechariah 12:6)
This describes the inner ring war.
