WARN THE PEOPLE-WW3
EZEKIEL 33:1-6
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
DANIEL 11:40-45 (WW3 BREAKDOWN)
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south( EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) and the king of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIM HORDES OF EZEK 38+39) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east(CHINA 2ND WAVE OF WW3) and out of the north(RUSSIA, MUSLIMS WHATS LEFT FROM WAVE 1) shall trouble him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.( 1/3RD OF EARTHS POPULATION)
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste,(NUKES USED) and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.(WORLD IMMIGRATION)
GENESIS 16:11-12
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael;(ARAB/MUSLIM) because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man;(RIOTS-BURNING-MURDEROUUS RAGE) his hand will be against every man,(ISLAM WANTS WORLD DOMINATION) and every man's hand against him;(DEFENDING THEMSELVES) and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.(ARAB/MUSLIMS LIVE WITH ISRAELIS)
ISAIAH 33:1,18-19 Woe to thee that spoilest,(destroys) and thou wast not spoiled;(destroyed) and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil,(destroy) thou shalt be spoiled;(destroyed) and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
JOHN 16:2
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.(ISLAM MURDERS IN THE NAME OF THEIR MOON GOD ALLAH)
ISAIAH 14:12-23
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, (SATAN) son of the morning! (HEBREW MEANS CRESCENT MOON ANGEL-ISLAM OVIOUSLY)(SATAN IS THE GOD OF ISLAM) how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
EZEKIEL 31:10-17
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.(HELL).
15Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
17They also went down into hell with him unto [them that be] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
EZEKIEL 32:17-32
17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, [even] her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
20 They shall fall in the midst of [them that are] slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
22 Asshur [is] there and all her company: his graves [are] about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
24 There [is] Elam (IRAN) and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of [them that be] slain.
26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal,(RUSSIA) (GERMANY, TURKEY) and all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27And they shall not lie with the mighty [that are] fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with [them that are] slain with the sword.
29 There [is] Edom,(JORDAN) her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by [them that were] slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
30 There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, [even] Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are] slain with the sword, [even] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I (GOD) will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say,(RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS) I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDI-ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(SPAIN) with all the young lions thereof,(ENGLAND,AND ALL ITS ASSOCIATES-CANADA,AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND, USA, AND WESTERN ENGLISH SPEAKING NATIONS) shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
EZEKIEL 39:11-22
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13 Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)(EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN THE JORDAN VALLEY)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl,(500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS THREW ISRAEL EVERY SPRING,FALL) and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.(OF THE RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ARMIES)
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
REVELATION 19:17-18
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;(AGAINST ALL NATIONS ARMIES THAT COME AGAINST JERUSALEM AND ISRAEL)
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse:(CHLORES GREEN) and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth,(2 BILLION) to kill with sword,(WEAPONS) and with hunger,(FAMINE) and with death,(INCURABLE DISEASES) and with the beasts of the earth.(ANIMAL TO HUMAN DISEASE).

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other shall be left.(half earths population 4 billion die in the 7 yr trib)
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.(Christians have new bodies,this is the people against Jerusalem during the 7 yr treaty)(Christians bodies are not being eaten by the birds).THESE ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES-NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES.BECAUSE NOT HALF OF PEOPLE ON EARTH ARE CHRISTIANS.AND THE CONTEXT IN LUKE 17 IS THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION OR 7 YR TREATY PERIOD.WHICH IS JUDGEMENT ON THE EARTH.NOT 50% RAPTURED TO HEAVEN.
MATTHEW 24:37-42 (THESE ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES-SURE NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES)(50% OF EARTHS POPULATION DIE)
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.(ON EARTH)

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)(THIS IS AN ATOMIC BOMB EFFECT)
EZEKIEL 32:18-29 (NOTICE ALL THE COUNTRIES LAND PROMISED ISRAEL BY GOD ARE IN THE JORDAN VALLEY BURIED)
18 “Son of man, wail for the multitudes of Egypt, and consign her and the daughters of the mighty nations to the depths of the earth with those who descend to the Pit:
19 Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised! (IN HELL FIRES)
20 They will fall among those slain by the sword. The sword is appointed! Let them drag her away along with all her multitudes.
21 Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of Sheol about Egypt and her allies: ‘They have come down and lie with the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.’
22 Assyria (SYRIA) is there with her whole company; her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.
23 Her graves are set in the depths of the Pit, and her company is all around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—those who once spread terror in the land of the living.
24 Elam (IRAN) is there with all her multitudes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—those who went down uncircumcised to the earth below, who once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.
25 Among the slain they prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.
26 Meshech and Tubal (RUSSIA) are there with all their multitudes, with their graves all around them. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
27 They do not lie down with the fallen warriors of old, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads, whose shields rested on their bones, although the terror of the mighty was once in the land of the living.
28 But you too will be shattered and lie down among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.
29 Edom (JORDAN) is there, and all her kings and princes, who despite their might are laid among those slain by the sword. They lie down with the uncircumcised, with those who descend to the Pit.THIS IS RIGHT FROM 93:
SECOND ANGEL: MIDDLE EAST
Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting.The second angel said: "Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran."I saw those countries in a few split seconds."All of Turkey and those [inaudible] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill one another."I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction – men destroying one another. I heard these words:"Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God."I saw fires rising to heaven.The angel said: "This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries."The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.
PSALMS 83:1-8 (GODS LAND PROMISED TO ISRAEL)
1 O God, do not remain silent;do not turn a deaf ear,do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they (ARAB,MUSLIMS) conspire against your people;they plot against those you cherish.(ISRAELIS)
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;(TREATIES) they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom (JORDAN) and the Ishmaelites, (EGYPTIAN ARABS SO CALLED PALESTIANS) of Moab (JORDAN) and the Hagrites,(EGYPT)
7 Byblos,(HEZBOLLOH) Ammon (JORDAN) and Amalek,(SYRIAN ARABS IN THE SINAI) Philistia,(ARABS) with the people of Tyre (LEBANON).
8 Even Assyria (SYRIA) has joined them to reinforce Lot’s descendants.
GENESIS 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.(WORLD TERRORISM,MURDERS)(HAMAS IN HEBREW IS VIOLENCE)
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence (TERRORISM)(HAMAS) through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
1 OF 3 GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO
1-PROMISCUOUS SEX AMOUNG EACH OTHER.
ROMANS 1:24
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (THE 60S FREE SEX)
2 OF 3 GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO
2-SODOMITES - MEN LUSTING MEN, AND WOMEN LUSTING AFTER WOMEN.
ROMANS 1:26-27
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
3 OF 3 GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO
3-A DEPRAVED MIND-ANY SIN GOES.
ROMANS 1:28-31
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO THESE 3 DEPRAVED ABOMINATION SINS?
OH OH NOAHS DAY. WHAT HAPPENED IN NOAHS DAY. THE WHOLE WORLD WAS JUDGED BY WATER.
GENESIS 6:7,17
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
GENESIS 7:4
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
GENESIS 8:16
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
WELL THE SODOMITES PICKED THE RIGHT SIGN OF A RAINBOW FOR JUDGEMENT. THE SODOMITES TRYED TO STEAL GODS SIGN THAT THE WHOLE EARTH WILL NEVER DIE FROM FLOOD WATERS AGAIN. BUT THE JUDGEMENT THIS TIME IS GOING TO BE BY FIRE.NOT WATER.
2 PETER 3:7
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
EZIKIEL 38:12-13
13 Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDIA ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(ENGLAND) with all the young lions thereof,(USA,CANADA,AUSTRALIA,NEW ZEALAND,EU,ENGLAND,ENGLISH SPEAKING shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? (AGAINST ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, (RUSSIA AND HER MUSLIMS HORDES)Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee,(ISRAELIS) and curse (DESTROY) him that curseth thee:(DESTROY THEM) and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
And here are the bounderies of the land that Israel will inherit either through war or peace or God in the future. God says its Israels land and only Israels land. They will have every inch God promised them of this land in the future.

Israel hid explosives in shipment of pagers recently ordered by Hezbollah — reports-NYT says the beepers detonated after getting message that appeared to come from terror group’s leaders; senior Lebanese security source: Mossad modified devices ‘at production level’ By ToI Staff Today, 4:20 am-Senior Lebanese security source: Mossad ‘injected’ explosive material into the pagers-By Reuters.
BEIRUT — Israel’s Mossad spy agency planted a small amount of explosives inside 5,000 Taiwan-made pagers ordered by the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah months before Tuesday’s detonations, a senior Lebanese security source and another source tell Reuters.The plot appears to have been many months in the making, several sources tell Reuters.The senior Lebanese security source says Hezbollah ordered 5,000 beepers made by Taiwan-based Gold Apollo, which several sources say were brought into the country in the spring.The senior Lebanese security source identifies a photograph of the model of the pager, an AP924, which like other pagers wirelessly receive and display text messages but cannot make telephone calls.But the senior Lebanese source says the devices had been modified by Israel’s spy service “at the production level.”“The Mossad injected a board inside of the device that has explosive material that receives a code. It’s very hard to detect it through any means. Even with any device or scanner,” the source says.The source says 3,000 of the pagers exploded when a coded message was sent to them, simultaneously activating the explosives.
Israel hid explosives inside batch of pagers that Hezbollah recently ordered — NYT-SEP 17,24
Israel hid explosive material inside pagers that Hezbollah recently ordered from a Taiwanese company, according to a New York Times report that follows the mass detonation of the beepers.Citing American and other unidentified officials, the report says the explosives were placed in the made by Gold Apollo before they were delivered to Lebanon, along with a switch so they could be set off remotely.Two of the officials say the blasts were triggered Tuesday afternoon by a message sent to the pagers that appeared to be from Hezbollah leaders, with the beepers meant to sound for several seconds before detonating.Over 3,000 pagers were included in the recent order, with the US newspaper reporting some of the devices were given to Hezbollah’s allies in Syria and Iran, while adding that the attack only affected those that were turned on and receiving messages.It’s unclear when exactly Hezbollah placed the order and received the pagers, but the report notes leader Hassan Nasrallah’s remarks earlier this year instructing members of the Iran-backed group to ditch their cellphones due to concerns of Israeli eavesdropping.
PM said to huddle with top defense officials in Tel Aviv-9 killed, almost 3,000 injured as vast wave of pager explosions strikes Hezbollah-Terror group blames Israel, vows revenge; hospitals in Lebanon overwhelmed by wounded, including Iranian envoy, after unprecedented, coordinated attack amid surging war fears-By Gianluca Pacchiani, Emanuel Fabian, Lazar Berman, ToI Staff and Agencies 17 September 2024, 8:54 pm
At least 9 people were killed and thousands were injured when pagers held by Hezbollah members across Lebanon exploded on Tuesday afternoon, in what appeared to be a widescale, coordinated attack attributed to Israel.The unprecedented wave of explosions, which also reportedly killed and injured several people in Syria, sparked chaos in a region already on high alert for the outbreak of full-scale hostilities.It came hours after Israel designated the halting of Hezbollah’s attacks one of its main war goals and announced that it had foiled an assassination attempt by the Iranian proxy group against a former senior official.Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad said in an evening press conference that nine people were killed and 2,750 more were injured in the blasts, including some 200 people in critical condition.Ambulances carrying Hezbollah members and others with bloodied limbs and faces streamed to hospitals for hours after the blasts, overwhelming health services.Hezbollah said three people were killed, including two members of the group, and blamed Israel for the spree of pager blasts, promising to retaliate.“We hold the Israeli enemy fully responsible for this criminal aggression,” the group said in a statement, adding that Israel “will certainly receive its fair punishment for this sinful aggression.”Also among the dead were the son of a Hezbollah lawmaker, reportedly Lebanese MP Ali Ammar, and the 10-year-old daughter of a member of the terror group, according to Lebanese sources.The girl was killed when her father’s pager exploded as she was standing beside him, her family and a source close to Hezbollah said.Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was lightly injured by an exploding pager, Iran’s state-run media said.Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was not hurt in the explosions, the group said.In Syria, seven people were killed in the coordinated attack, according to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated Saberin News.The fatalities were reportedly in the Damascus neighborhood of Seyedah Zeinab, a Shiite stronghold.Blaming Israel-Lebanon’s Information Minister Ziad Makary said his country condemned the “Israeli aggression,” becoming the first Lebanese official to directly implicate Israel.Israel did not respond to allegations that it had been behind the attack; the Israel Defense Forces said Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi met with top brass for talks “with an emphasis on readiness for attack and defense in all arenas.”Hebrew media reported Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and other security chiefs were meeting at the Defense Ministry headquarters at the Kirya base in Tel Aviv following the apparent attack.The wave of explosions started at about 3:45 p.m. local time and lasted around an hour. It was not immediately clear how the devices were detonated, but media outlets reported that owners received a message before the blasts.A Hezbollah official who spoke on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that the handheld pagers, a new brand used by the group, first heated up, then exploded, killing at least two of its members and wounding others.Regional broadcasters carried CCTV footage that showed what appeared to be a small handheld device placed next to a grocery store cashier where an individual was making a payment spontaneously exploding.In other footage, an explosion appeared to knock out someone standing at a fruit stand in a market area.A video circulating on social media purports to show the moment that a pager used by a Hezbollah operative exploded in Lebanon.

It also asked health workers to avoid using wireless devices.At Mt.

Hezbollah began launching near-daily attacks on the north on October 8, but claims it is not interested in war, and has said it will halt the attacks, meant to support the Hamas terror group in Gaza, when the war there ends. Both the Iranian-backed terror groups avowedly seek to destroy Israel.Despite widespread speculation Israel had been behind the attack, Netanyahu’s office quickly distanced itself from a close associate of the premier who hinted on social media that Jerusalem was responsible.“This didn’t age well,” Likud spokesman Topaz Luk commented on an X post that claimed Netanyahu wouldn’t make any major move in Lebanon before his trip to New York next week. Luk, who was formerly Netanyahu’s spokesman, deleted the comment a short while later.“Topaz Luk hasn’t been serving as the prime minister’s spokesman for a few months now, and isn’t in the close circle of discussion,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.Hebrew media also reported that Netanyahu’s office had ordered all ministers to avoid media appearances.So far, the skirmishes in the north have resulted in 26 civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 20 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries. Tens of thousands of Israelis have been forced from their homes near the northern border by relentless Hezbollah rocket fire, and have been relocated further south for the past 11 months.Hezbollah has named 443 members who have been killed by Israel during the fighting, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. Another 79 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and dozens of civilians have also been killed.
IDF urges vigilance as defense chiefs meet amid Hezbollah retaliation threat-Army says no changes to guidelines for civilians, but some cities open shelters as terror group vows revenge for exploding pager attack-By Emanuel Fabian-and ToI Staff 17 September 2024, 11:29 pm
The military said it was on alert Tuesday after Hezbollah threatened revenge and blamed Israel for a vast coordinated attack using the terror group’s own pagers that killed several and maimed thousands, as the sides appeared to inch closer to a major confrontation.Israel did not claim responsibility for the stunning wave of explosions that rocked Hezbollah strongholds in both Lebanon and Syria, but the Israel Defense Forces indicated it was girding for a possible reprisal, even as it sought to keep a lid on fears of all-out war.In a terse statement, the IDF said Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and top defense brass held consultations Tuesday evening “with an emphasis on readiness for offensive action and defense in all arenas.”Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s office later announced that he was meeting with Halevi and other senior military officials, without offering other details.The army said there were no special instructions from Home Front Command, but urged public vigilance and suggested the situation could be fluid.“We will update immediately on any change to guidelines,” it said.The IDF statement was issued after Hebrew media outlets reported that local authorities in the north had been told by the Home Front Command that there was a possibility of escalation with Hezbollah.In Holon, a suburb south of Tel Aviv, authorities said public shelters would be open “to reduce worries,” and a number of other cities announced similar measures or said they were raising security levels.Hezbollah is thought to have a massive arsenal of some 150,000 projectiles, including long-range rockets and precision missiles. Experts say a full-scale Hezbollah attack would put the country’s air defenses to the test.Separately, Hebrew media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had huddled for several hours with security chiefs at the Defense Ministry Headquarters in the Kirya base in Tel Aviv.The top defense officials were summoned for an emergency meeting with government officials, the reports stated, as they discussed how to best deal with a potential escalation with Hezbollah following the attack, which killed at least 9 people and wounded some 2,800.Hezbollah said earlier in the evening that it holds Israel “fully responsible” for the detonation of the pagers, claiming that it had come to this conclusion after it probed the available information.In a statement, the terror group vowed retribution for the “criminal aggression that also targeted civilians,” and said its “martyrs and wounded” were sacrificed in the name of its jihad “on the road to Jerusalem,” a phrase that it usually reserves for operatives killed in Israeli strikes.The casualties included Hezbollah fighters who are the sons of top officials from the armed group, two security sources told Reuters. One of those killed was the son of a Hezbollah member of the Lebanese parliament, Ali Ammar, they said.“This is not a security targeting of one, two or three people. This is a targeting of an entire nation,” senior Hezbollah official Hussein Khalil said while expressing his condolences for Ammar’s son.Lebanese broadcaster Al Jadeed cited Ammar as promising consequences. “We will deal with the enemy in the language it understands,” he added.The pager attack came hours after the Shin Bet security service said it had foiled an attempt by Hezbollah to kill a former senior Israeli security official using a planted explosive device that could be remotely detonated.Reports in recent weeks indicate that Israel is increasingly flirting with the possibility of launching a full-scale attack on Hezbollah to end nearly a year of cross-border attacks that have left a swath of northern Israel uninhabitable.Israel has responded to the attacks with a campaign of airstrikes and has held out hope for a diplomatic solution, but leaders in recent days have expressed their belief that only military action can bring an end to the clashes.Hezbollah began launching near-daily attacks on the north on October 8 in a show of support for the Hamas terror group following its October 7 massacre in southern Israel, but claims it is not interested in war and that it will stop firing once the war in Gaza ends.The government has faced rising pressure from both lawmakers and voters in recent weeks to deal with the threat posed to Israel by Hezbollah, as many fear that the north will remain under threat as long as the Iran-backed terror group’s forces are able to operate along the border.Although the US has pushed for a diplomatic solution to restore calm to the Israel-Lebanon border, Gallant told special envoy Amos Hochstein in a meeting on Monday that the only way to ensure the safe return of Israel’s displaced northern communities would be “via military action,” as Hezbollah “continues to tie itself to Hamas, and refuses to the end the conflict.”Washington’s commitment to a diplomatic solution was reiterated by White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre in the wake of the pager attack, which the US said it was still gathering information on.Stressing that she wasn’t going to engage in speculation about the consequences that the pager attack could have on the tenuous situation in the Middle East, Jean-Pierre said that the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah had “gone on for way too long” and as such it “is in everyone’s interest to resolve it quickly and diplomatically.”“We continue to believe that there should be a diplomatic solution to this,” she said, referring to the US’s desire to see a ceasefire-hostage release deal in Gaza, as it believes that it would also put an end to the clashes on the northern border, as well.The border skirmishes have resulted in 26 civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 20 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.Hezbollah has named 443 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. Another 79 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and dozens of civilians have also been killed.
US says it wasn’t involved in or tipped off about Hezbollah pager detonations-Administration says it’s still gathering info, largely refrains from commenting on explosion of beepers belonging to terror operatives in Lebanon-By Jacob Magid-Today, 2:40 am-SEP 17,24
The Biden administration largely avoided commenting on Tuesday’s mass detonation of pagers belonging to Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon, while stressing the US was not involved and had no advance knowledge of the operation, which was widely attributed to Israel.“The US was not involved in it. The US was not aware of this incident in advance, and at this point, we’re gathering information,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said during a press briefing.“We’re collecting information in the same way that journalists are across the world to gather the facts about what might have happened,” he added.His comments were echoed by spokespeople at the White House and the Pentagon, who also reiterated the longstanding US stance in favor of a diplomatic resolution to Israel-Hezbollah tensions.Nine people were killed and 2,750 more were injured in the blasts, including some 200 people in critical condition, according to the Lebanese health ministry.Also reported among the dead were the son of a Hezbollah lawmaker and the 10-year-old daughter of a member of the terror group. Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was lightly injured by an exploding pager, Iran’s state-run media said.Detonations were also triggered in Syria where seven more people were killed, according to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated Saberin News.It appeared to be the most significant attack in Lebanon amid the cross-border skirmishes that have occurred almost daily since the Iran-backed terror group began targeting Israel following Hamas’s October 7 onslaught.Hezbollah blamed Israel for Tuesday’s explosions and vowed to retaliate.Israel has avoided commenting publicly, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party directed lawmakers not to take any interview requests after a faction spokesperson published and then quickly deleted a post on X suggesting Israeli responsibility for the blasts.A spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called developments in Lebanon very concerning, especially given the “extremely volatile” context, adding that the United Nations deplores any civilian casualties.Lebanon’s foreign ministry said it began “preparing a complaint to submit to the United Nations Security Council” and blamed Israel for the operation.The blasts came as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was en route to Egypt, where among other issues the State Department said he would be advancing efforts to secure a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas.The US has argued that an end to the war in Gaza would be the surest way to restore calm between Israel and Hezbollah, citing the terror group’s assertions that it would halt its fire once the IDF does the same in the Strip.Notably, Blinken was not scheduled to visit Israel, as he has done during every other trip to the region since October 7. Optimism about a ceasefire deal has waned, with the administration reportedly considering a new framework after repeated efforts to finalize a phased end to the war have failed to bear fruit.A week ago, Blinken said the US would unveil an updated ceasefire proposal “very soon,” but Miller on Tuesday declined to put a timetable on when that might be.The State Department spokesperson did argue, however, that there was no reason to assume the blasts in Lebanon would impact the hostage talks.Later Tuesday, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin held a phone call with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, a source familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel. Neither office immediately issued a statement on the call.On Monday, the Biden administration’s special envoy Amos Hochstein met with Netanyahu and Gallant in Israel, warning them against launching a major offensive against Hezbollah. A US official said Hochstein argued that a major IDF attack risked a regional war and would not restore the sense of security that would allow the roughly 60,000 evacuated Israeli civilians to return to their homes near the northern border.Gallant countered by telling Hochstein that only military action would allow for Israelis in the north to return to their homes, according to a readout issued by his office. Netanyahu told the Biden envoy that Israel appreciates US support but will do what is necessary to restore security for its citizens.Hours after those meetings, the Israeli security cabinet added a new objective to its aims for the war in Gaza: “The safe return of the residents of the north to their homes.”
Putin security chief meets Iranian president in Tehran as military ties deepen-Sergei Shoigu holds talks with Pezeshkian, other top officials after meeting with North Korean leader, amid Western concerns over Tehran supplying ballistic missiles to Moscow-By Reuters 17 September 2024, 9:28 pm
MOSCOW, Russia — Top Russian security official Sergei Shoigu held talks with Iran’s president and his Iranian counterpart in Tehran on Tuesday, Russian and Iranian media said, days after meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang.Russia has deepened ties with Iran and North Korea, both of which are hostile to the United States, since the start of its war in Ukraine.The United States views the growing relationships with concern and says both countries are supplying Russia with ballistic missiles for use in the conflict, something Moscow denies.Shoigu’s trips are taking place at a crucial moment in the two-and-a-half-year war, as Kyiv presses the United States and its allies to let it use Western-supplied long-range weapons to strike targets such as airfields deep inside Russian territory.Russian President Vladimir Putin said last week that Western countries would be fighting Russia directly if they gave the green light and that Moscow would respond.Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Shoigu on Tuesday that relations between Tehran and Moscow would develop in “a continuous and lasting way,” state media reported.The Nour news agency, affiliated with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said Shoigu also met his Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Ahmadian. There was no immediate information on the outcome of the meeting.Russia has repeatedly said it is close to signing a major agreement with Iran to seal a strategic partnership between the two countries.Shoigu was Russian defense minister until May when he was appointed secretary of the Security Council, which brings together Putin’s military and intelligence chiefs and other senior officials.Apart from meeting North Korea’s Kim last week, he also held talks in St. Petersburg with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.Earlier this week, the Guardian newspaper reported the US and UK are concerned that Russia has been helping Iran develop its nuclear weapons program in exchange for the recent delivery of ballistic missiles it was provided by Tehran for use in its war against Ukraine, citing sources familiar with the matter.The issue of deepening ties between Russia and Iran was a matter of concern during meetings between US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Washington, DC, on Friday, as well as during talks between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy earlier in the week.Western countries also worry that Iran’s development of satellite launch vehicles “would shorten the timeline” for the state to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile, which could in turn be used to deliver nuclear weapons.Iran is now producing uranium close to weapons-grade levels, after the collapse of its nuclear deal with world powers. It has enough enriched uranium for “several” nuclear weapons if it chooses to produce them, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency repeatedly has warned.Agencies and Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Analysis-While still in Gaza, Israel has no good options in Lebanon. But it may invade anyway-The IDF and the home front are weary, and a military offensive against Hezbollah won’t defeat the terror organization. The success of the pager operation could offer a way out-By Lazar Berman-Today, 1:44 am-SEP 17,24
Even before hundreds of pagers exploded in the pockets and hands of Hezbollah fighters on Tuesday, a major escalation between Israel and the Iran-backed Shiite army in Lebanon was looking increasingly likely.After US special envoy Amos Hochstein met with Israel’s war leadership in Tel Aviv the day before, the security cabinet updated its official goals for the ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza to include allowing residents of the north to return safely home after being evacuated over concerns Hezbollah could launch a cross-border attack similar to October 7.“Israel will continue to act to achieve this goal,” said a statement from the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, hinting strongly at the possibility of expanding military operations to get Hezbollah to stop firing.Gallant was even more direct in his message to Hochstein, telling him that “the only way left to ensure the return of Israel’s northern communities to their homes will be via military action.”Israeli media has been full of reports recently that the Israel Defense Forces is readying for an operation in the north, and military divisions have prepared plans for the use of ground forces in southern Lebanon.If indeed Netanyahu does decide to take the initiative against Hezbollah, however, there is no guarantee he will achieve the desired effect. Moreover, it will make it far less likely that Israel will achieve its other three war aims — toppling Hamas, freeing the hostage and ensuring that Israel is not threatened from Gaza in the future — in the south.Back to Lebanon-Israel has several options for a military campaign in Lebanon.It can carry out an aerial offensive, either against the Lebanese state or only targeting Hezbollah.Attacking Lebanon’s state infrastructure would mark a continuation of traditional Israeli approaches to non-state enemies, pressuring state actors to rein in terrorists within their borders. This approach was employed effectively against Egypt and Jordan to stop Palestinian Fedayeen attacks from their territory in the 1950s and 1960s. Until the Assad regime withdrew its troops in 2005, Israel also sought to use Syria, the strongest player in Lebanon, to stop attacks from the PLO and then Hezbollah on northern Israel and the IDF-But this approach assumes that either the weak Lebanese state will act to rein in Hezbollah, or that public criticism will force the Shi’ite group to agree to a ceasefire. Such approaches failed in the past, and given the dysfunction and economic collapse in Lebanon, are no more likely to work today.A campaign against Hezbollah itself that employs aircraft and artillery would meanwhile be a continuation of three decades of indecisive Israeli military operations. Israel has relied on airpower in an effort to deter Hezbollah and Hamas from attacking it, instead of looking for a decisive victory on the ground. Hamas’s October 7 onslaught underlined how badly that approach failed.Alternatively, Israel could adopt the current approach to Gaza in the north by flooding Lebanon with ground forces, then slowly root Hezbollah out of villages and tunnels, while searching for weapons stockpiles. But the IDF hasn’t finished the job against the much smaller Hamas enemy, and managed to hold large numbers of reservists for only a few months before their patience cracked.A longer, more deadly war in Lebanon with a tired reserve force and home front will only add to growing frustrations over the management of the conflict since October 7. It will also bring months of rocket attacks on a weary society with tens of thousands of internal refugees, a stagnant economy, and family members at war for almost a year.Moreover, putting IDF forces back in southern Lebanon for months — if not years — provides an opening for the defending guerrilla force to bleed the conventional occupying army until it flees.The final option is a limited ground incursion to create some sort of buffer zone in southern Lebanon. Northern Command chief Ori Gordin has been floating this idea, according to Israel Hayom, pointing at the flight of Lebanese civilians and Hezbollah Radwan fighters from the border. It could also serve as a bargaining chip to force Hezbollah to agree to a diplomatic solution.Buffer zones haven’t been especially effective for Israel, however.“There was a buffer zone from Operation Litani in 1978 until 1982,” said Tal Tovy, military historian at Bar Ilan University. “There were still infiltrations from Lebanon into Israel, and they fired more rockets from further away.”“If the IDF creates a security zone of 5 kilometers, let’s say, then Hezbollah will just increase its short-range rocket fire.”Israel would likely have to keep expanding the limited buffer zone until it finds itself restoring the security zone that it left in 2000.Any operation that doesn’t badly damage Hezbollah and force it to redeploy far from the border will likely end with another ceasefire agreement, as past operations have. Would residents of the north who have no intention of returning home with Hezbollah on the border despite UN Security Council 1701 feel more secure if a war ends with a renewed UN resolution? Neglect-Israel finds itself in a bind of its own making.For years, it neglected its ground forces and bought into a theory of victory from the air coupled with defensive technologies like Iron Dome and multi-billion dollar fences. That approach allowed Hamas and Hezbollah to grow from a group of small terror cells to armies capable of invading Israel and shutting down its home front.It also limits Israel’s options today. The limited availability of ground formations slowed the operation in Gaza, which leaves the country with the possibility of fighting two complex wars simultaneously.“There is no realistic option for a decisive victory against Hezbollah as of September 2024,” said military theorist Eran Ortal.Five years ago, then-IDF chief of staff Aviv Kohavi brought the top military brass together for a “Victory Workshop” to lay the groundwork for the army’s next multi-year plan. The IDF leadership came out of the self-examination workshop with some worrying conclusions.The complete military superiority that the IDF enjoyed for three decades was eroding. Hamas and Hezbollah now possess capabilities associated with state militaries.Kohavi laid out the challenge maneuvering IDF forces would face against these terror armies: “[They] are located in the heart of urban areas in a decentralized manner, which makes it very difficult to locate and destroy them, and allows the enemy to attack Israel’s home front effectively over time.”Recognizing the urgent need for change, Kohavi called for increased lethality for the ground forces, better interconnectedness between pilots, infantry, tanks and drones, and better battlefield sensors to locate the enemy first.Those capabilities were only partially introduced into the ground forces by the time Hamas-led terrorists invaded Israel on October 7.Moreover, through 11 months of war, the IDF has been burning through stockpiles of shells, precision bombs and Iron Dome interceptor missiles.“Israel should bide its time and develop its capabilities until it can fight a decisive war,” urged Ortal. “If we go into Lebanon now, we’ll have to do it again in another couple of years. Better not to do it twice.”Saving Hamas-Israel’s conundrum in the north is rendered even more vexing given the pace of its campaign in Gaza. Blame can be placed both on the military leadership and on the prime minister, but the fact remains that 11 months after the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, the terror organization that perpetrated the attack remains capable of retaking the Gaza Strip and rebuilding its army whenever Israel withdraws.Because Israel hasn’t found a way to declare an end to the war in Gaza — through a hostage deal or battlefield victory — Israel is left with few options beyond escalation in the north.If Israel does decide on a ground operation against Hezbollah, a deal or decisive move against Hamas becomes even less likely as more troops are shifted to the north.This would be an affirmation of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s strategy, one that has failed him to this point. He expected Israel’s enemies to rise up against it and keep the IDF from crushing Hamas. That has not happened, but a war against Hezbollah could be the development that he has been waiting for underneath a ruined Gaza.That doesn’t mean it would be a victory for Hezbollah, however. It started firing at Israel on October 8 to show solidarity with Hamas, not to spark a concerted assault by the IDF. Even before the pagers attack, Israel had killed over 400 of its fighters and taken out key infrastructure along the border. As a military source in Lebanon told a local news outlet, its show of support for Hamas is turning into an existential war for Hezbollah.A way out of this quandary might have been created by the daring and creative beeper operation. If Israel were responsible, it would show how deeply Israeli intelligence has penetrated the secretive Hezbollah organization. Its leaders, unnerved by the very public blow they suffered on Tuesday, could decide that they have poked the tiger for too long, and now that it looks ready to pounce they’ll look to Hochstein to find a way to back off.If that does happen, Israel’s war leadership would be well served to do what it needs to to bring the war on Hamas to a rapid conclusion, so it can start preparing for the inevitable campaign against Hezbollah, and initiate it only once it has designed its military to win.
Israeli envoy calls UN 'a circus where evil is righteous'-UN debates PA resolution demanding Israel leave ‘Occupied Palestinian Territory’Non-binding text, based on ICJ advisory opinion, declares Jewish state must ‘end without delay its unlawful presence’ in East Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza, sets 12-month deadline-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 3:27 am-SEP 17,24
UN member states debated Tuesday a push by the Palestinian Authority to formally demand an end to Israeli rule of “Occupied Palestinian Territory” within 12 months.The text, which has faced fierce criticism from Israel, is based on an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice calling Israel’s military rule of areas captured during the 1967 Six Day War “unlawful.”“Israel is under an obligation to bring to an end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible,” read the opinion, requested by the General Assembly.In response, Arab countries called for a special session of the assembly just days before dozens of heads of state and government descend on the UN headquarters this month to address the kick-off of this year’s General Assembly session.“The idea is you want to use the pressure of the international community in the General Assembly and the pressure of the historic ruling by the ICJ to force Israel to change its behavior,” said Palestinian Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour on Monday, acknowledging the draft resolution had “shocked many countries.”The draft resolution, due to be voted on late Tuesday or Wednesday, “demands that Israel brings to an end without delay its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory,” and that this be done “no later than 12 months from the adoption.”The first draft text gave only six months.Israel firmly rejected the resolution on Tuesday.“We gather here to watch the Palestinians’ UN circus — a circus where evil is righteous, war is peace, murder is justified,” said Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon.“How dare you continue this tradition of passing one-sided resolutions against Israel.”US envoy also decries ‘inflammatory’ motion-The draft resolution — which would be non-binding — also “demands” the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the West Bank and Gaza, a halt to new settlements, the return of seized land and property, and the possibility of return for displaced Palestinians.A paragraph calling on member states to halt arms exports to Israel disappeared from the draft text during negotiations, however.“The Palestinians want to live — not survive. They want to be safe in their homes,” said Mansour on Tuesday, kicking off the debate on the first resolution ever introduced by the Palestinians.“How many more Palestinians need to be killed before change finally takes place to stop this inhumanity?”The ICJ opinion was “a historic opinion as this was the first time the court examined the Israeli occupation as a whole,” Mansour said.US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield condemned the draft resolution as “inflammatory” and said it “is not going to advance the cause of peace.”“It also fails to acknowledge, among other things, that Hamas, a terrorist organization, is currently exerting power, control and influence in Gaza,” Thomas-Greenfield added.In its July decision, the ICJ said it determined Israel’s policy of settlement in the West Bank violated international law, and that Israel had effectively annexed large parts of the West Bank — along with East Jerusalem, which it formally annexed and designated as sovereign Israeli territory in 1980 — due to some of the apparently permanent aspects of Israeli rule there.The legal consequences of its findings, the court ruled, were that Israel must end its control of these areas, cease new settlement activity, “repeal all legislation and measures creating or maintaining the unlawful situation” — including those that it said “discriminate against the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory” — and provide reparations for any damage caused by its “wrongful acts.”In addition, the court said that all UN member states are obligated not to recognize changes to the status of the territories and that all states are obligated not to aid or assist Israel’s rule of the territories, and ensure that any impediment “to the exercise of the Palestinian people of its right to self-determination is brought to an end.”While the Security Council is largely paralyzed on the ongoing conflict in Gaza, from which Israel unilaterally withdrew from in 2005, the General Assembly has adopted several texts in support of Palestinian civilians amid the current war.In May the assembly overwhelmingly supported a largely symbolic resolution on full Palestinian membership of the UN, garnering 143 votes in favor, nine against with 25 abstentions.The push had previously been vetoed by Washington at the Security Council.The West Bank-based PA has renewed its active efforts against Israel on the international scene since the war in Gaza began on October 7 with Hamas’s unprecedented attack on southern Israel, in which Palestinian terrorists killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.A car destroyed in an attack byIn response, Israel launched a ground invasion of Gaza with the proclaimed objectives of dismantling Hamas and getting the hostages back.The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 41,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed some 17,000 combatants in battle and another 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip stands at 344.In addition to using the destruction from the war and the casualty figures in Gaza as a springboard for a renewed push for Palestinian statehood, the PA has also taken Israel to the International Court of Justice and backed the International Criminal Court in seeking war crimes arrest warrants against Israeli leaders.Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has penalized the PA for its efforts, freezing funds from tax revenues that are meant to go to Ramallah and instead giving the money to families of victims of terrorism.“We fight because we have no other choice yet, despite the cruelty we have faced, despite the unprecedented terror unleashed upon our people, this assembly remains silent,” Danon told the assembly meeting.Lazar Berman and Jeremy Sharon contributed to this report.
