16 October 2024: The IDF is actively shaping the battlefield, not only in Lebanon but also in the Golan Heights where since 1 October new forward positions have been created, and operation to remove landmines have been largely completed. Use the clickable map below for reference as we move forward.

| UNDOF ZONE |
Notice the direct connection the UNDOF (United Nations Disengagement Observer Force) Zone has between Lebanon's eastern border, Syria's southern border and a small section of Jordan's northern border. The western border of the zone is known as the A Line and it functions as Israel's de facto border with Syria; the eastern border is Syria's de facto border with Israel separated by UNDOF troop deployments along its entire length since its institution at the end of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The 1,080 international troops deployed in the zone, in order of contingent size, are Nepal, Uruguay, India, Fiji and Kazakhstan with a handful each from Ghana, Ireland, Bhutan and the Czech Republic.
It is important to note this as Jeremiah 49:26 foretells dire a result for men in general and soldiers ("all the men of war"). Eschatology Today is of the opinion that this verse dovetails with Isaiah 17:12-13. Even a cursory reading these prophetic Scriptures informs as to the reason for the coming dire circumstance which forces their hasty departure.
There is also, as we've noted previously, a reason for the forward push into the Golan, and that would be to flank Hezbollah from the east in southern Lebanon, possibly to in preempt or interdict a mass evacuation of their forces northward. Some reports indicate that Kata'ib Hezbollah (Iraqi Shi'a militia) may have been instructed to forgo engaging in combat with the IDF. This is likely a very temporary situation if accurate.
In the meantime, sand is rapidly falling into the bottom of the proverbial hourglass marking how soon Israel will pounce to strike the bow and bring its very capable sword upon the Iranian Twelver regime. A paradigm changing event to be sure.

Noting a report that Russian troops have withdrawn from an observation post near Dara'a, Syria. The movement may be to deconflict with the IDF in this region.
ReplyDeletePM Netanyahu just revealed that the IDF has found a Hezbollah weapons cache in south Lebanon containing "state of the art" Russian weaponry. Such weapons are forbidden south of the Litani River per UNSCR 1701.
ReplyDeleteweapons from the land of magog. I'm not surprised

The US destroyed at least 5 hardened, underground Houthi weapons depots yesterday in the first B-2 stealth bomber strike in Yemen.
ReplyDeleteA message to Iran. There are no weapons bunkers deep enough that US B-2s payload cannot oblierate in a single pass.
The IAF struck a weapons depot in Syria's port city Latakia early this morning (zero dark-thirty). Secondary explosions destroyed the depot. Latakia is the heart of Syria's minority Alawite sect who are connected to Iran's Shi'a. Latakia is the base of power for Bashar al-Assad's ruling Alawite dictatorship.
ReplyDeletePraise God for the IDF and the accomplishment today!!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Sinwar may have been trying to hop a flight out of Egypt with a FM of Iran. His plan for whatever has been seriously and gravely disrupted.
Again, praise God!
