Global SITREP D3-23: A Greater MidEast War Part II

IDF image: Gaza War Resumes

UPDATE 1 December 2023: A week-long cessation of hostilities has ended and the war in Gaza resumed at 07:03 this morning Israel time. In accordance with the agreement HAMAS failed to deliver a list of hostages for release to the ICRC. Instead at 05:48 HAMAS began launching a barrage of rockets at Ashkelon, Sderot and Beersheba in southern Israel. About an hour later a second barrage was launched. The Iron Dome intercepted some of the rockets and ignored others that present no danger to the public. 

The Israeli Air Force then restarted where it left off by striking multiple targets, no doubt enhanced by intelligence collected during the cessation of hostilities, in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. IDF artillery then commenced heaving artillery rounds in concentrated fires at known terrorist positions. The IDF then announced, "The IDF has resumed combat against the HAMAS terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip."  The IDF then distribute the "Map of Zones" for Khan Yunis residents to begin evacuations to the area of Rafah on the Egyptian border with instructions to "follow these instructions carefully." The elimination of HAMAS is now in full swing.

Also, Israel struck a Houthi missile and drone depot in Sana'a, Yemen yesterday in response to repeated Houthi attempts to strike Israel with ballistic missiles and drones. The war has expanded into a greater MidEast conflict.


 

UNRWA and HAMAS Terrorists

29 November 2023: It's been plainly evident for years that the United Nations is to a great extent an anti-Israel and antisemite global organization. This has never been more evident than the completely reprehensible statements made by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre and taking as hostages of Israeli civilians in the "Gaza Envelope." It is also evident in the image above showing UNRWA staffers alongside black flag of Jihad terrorists.

Why Israel remains a member of the U.N. is beyond explanation at this point, especially with respect to the breaking report of two hours ago about the UNRWA actively working as a terror accomplice of HAMAS in the incarceration of Israeli civilians who were ripped from their homes on October 7, and with the distinct possibility that some of them remain in captivity with UNRWA staffers. While this is a major news item, expect globalist media to cover it up.

There have been several violations of the ceasefire agreement, all of them initiated by the terrorists. In the most recent three terrorists paid with their lives after throwing explosives and opening fire on IDF troops manning their operational pause lines. The IDF is prepared for the resumption of combat operations at a moments notice.

Global SITREP D2-23: A Greater MidEast War

Iran Surrounded

UPDATE 18 November 2023: The big Ohio-class nuclear-powered submarine in the Middle East is sailing with the Eisenhower CSG somewhere in the Arabian Sea. The converted boomer boat is the USS Florida (SSGN-728) and she's carrying 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles for delivery to Iranian military targets should either Hezbollah or Iran join the war against Israel as they've threatened. 

There may be a significant indication that this US power-play is not enough to deter Iran (and its proxies) from entering the war. On Wednesday, 15 November, the Twelver regime's Houthi proxy in Yemen launched an armed drone strike against one of the Eisenhower CSG combatant vessels in the Arabian Sea. That ship was the Arleigh-Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Thomas Hudner (DDG-116) as it was transiting in international waters in the Red Sea. The Houthi drone was shot down at distance by the ships air defense systems. 

This attack by Iran's regional proxy forces is in addition to the current total of 61 attacks on US troops in their bases in Iraq and Syria as of yesterday, 17 November. The Biden Administration is between Iraq and a hard place in that it must put brute, kinetic military force on the table if deterrence of the Iranian Twelver's is to have any change of success. Thus far, and according the the Pentagon, 60 American troops have sustained minor injuries in the proxy attacks in Iraq and Syria, but all have since returned to duty. 

And can be seen in the above collage image, the Islamic Republic of Iran is surrounded by a most impressive array of American military power in every direction on the compass. The USS Ford CSG to the west, B-1 Bombers to the north, the USS Bataan ARG to the south, and the USS Eisenhower CSG to the east, not to mention dozens of the world's best strike aircraft based throughout the region. As Israel presses on to the south of Gaza in its hunt to exterminate HAMAS, PIJ and other terrorists, push will come to shove at some point as almost no one believes Iran will back down at this point.

IDF in Northern Israel

13 November 2023: The prospect for a much greater war across the MidEast looms today as the deterrent warnings from both Israel and the United States appear to have fallen upon deaf Islamist ears. From Lebanon, through Syria and Iraq to the heartland of the Islamic Republic of Iran the rhetorical flames of a great war increase by the hour. IDF commanders in the north want to take the war of attrition with Hezbollah deep into Lebanon but are, for the moment at least, being held back by political decisions and international pressure. This pressure will likely evaporate should the IRGC-QF proxies invite a large U.S. retaliation. At that time the IDF will initially seek to drive to the Litani River in Lebanon, but DM Gallant is not bluffing when he recently stated that Beirut could become Gaza.

In Israel the prospect of full-scale war with Hezbollah in Lebanon is being discussed in terms of not if it will escalate, but when. At this time the when this war will escalate is regarded as imminent. Hence the need for this new SITREP. Israeli civilians living in eight villages, moshavim and kibbutzim located along Israel's northern border, just inside the so-called 2000 U.N. Blue Line and within the Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council and the Upper Galilee Regional Council, have been instructed by the Northern Command to enter protective spaces.

Within prophetic Scripture this larger war can be seen within the texts of Jeremiah 49:23-27, Isaiah 17 and Joshua 13:1-7 which have never previously found fulfillment. The death toll will be great.

Global SITREP D1-23: Regional Warfare

USS Ford and USS Eisenhower CSGs in the East Med

UPDATE 6 November 2023: In the image above the USS Ford and USS Eisenhower Carrier Strike Groups (CSGs) cruising the Eastern Mediterranean Sea as part of the overall US military build up in the Middle East, as direct warning to Iran and its proxy forces in Lebanon and Syria to stay out of the Israel-HAMAS war in Gaza. For its part the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed-Reza Ashtiani issued a direct threat yesterday saying the US forces would be "hit hard" if the war in Gaza was not stopped immediately. Right on cue two US International Coalition bases in Syria, Tel Haydar in al-Hasakah and al-Tanf on the Jordanian-Iraqi border, were attacked yesterday and early this morning by IRGC proxy drones. The drones were shot down. International Coalition retaliation is expected shortly.

In Syria, and due to the IAF's repeated knocking out of Damascus and Aleppo International Airports, the Russian military has given the IRGC-QF permission to fly in military hardware to the Hmeimim Air Base. The first IRGC-QF charter aircraft landed at Hmeimim this past Thursday under joint Russian and Iranian security forces protection. An IRGC-QF military convoy departed Hmeimim soon thereafter for IRGC bases to the east, T4 most likely. Iranian military flights are also landing at the Syrian al-Shayrat Air Base southeast of Homs.

Concurrent with these developments Israel's relations with Russia have deteriorated precipitously, to the point now that Israel will no longer provide advance deconfliction warnings to the Russian military in Syria when IAF aircraft are inbound to strike Iranian and Iranian proxy targets in Syria. Both the US International Coalition and Iranian military forces are pouring in large contingents of reinforcements. These movements indicate a steady decline into a regional conflagration.



War in Gaza City - IDF Grinding HAMAS into Pulp

2 November 2023: In continuing this series which began exactly one month ago today with Global SITREP C5-23: The Coming War, Eschatology Today assesses that the Iranian overlords of Hezbollah in Lebanon and IRGC-QF proxy militias have green-lighted the launch their offensive against Israel from Lebanon and Syria approximately on or before 24 hours from now.

There is no reason other than military for IRGC-QF overall commander, Esmail Qa'ani to be coordinating with Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon on Wednesday, two days in advance of the expected address of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, at 3 PM Israel time (8 AM EDT in the US) which for all intents and purposes is a matter of semantics; a chance for him and his terrorist organization to save face and avoid total humiliation. Thus Lebanon will be destroyed due to the Shi'a Twelver's lust for Israel's blood to be spilled.

This is Esmail Qa'ani's second trip to Lebanon in three weeks time, the first being within 24 hours of HAMAS barbaric assault on kibbutzim in Israel on October 7th. Iranian fingerprints are all over this attempt at a war of extermination against Israel. To the apocalyptic Twelver Shi'a clerics of Iran this war is essential in their eschatological and theological beliefs, foremost of them being the hastening of their non-existent al-Mahdi messianic figure. Truly a massive satanic deception upon millions of their religion.

We are now learning in real-time that all of the associated prophecies of the Psalm 83 scenario are as most other Bible prophecy in that they find fulfillment over several months to years. Many have dual fulfillment over much longer periods of time. None of these prophesies are "one and done" in a single day, but as we've always made clear, have an active process towards their literal fulfillment. It occurs that this time ought not to be wasted, that active witnessing is the order of the day while there is still time to do so. This proves to the unbeliever that God has known the end from the beginning, His word is to be trusted in ALL things.
