Global SITREP C1-25: Jihadist Syria

 

Shapping the Syrian battlespace

UPDATED 28 November 2025: Since the Sunni jihadist conquest of Ba'athist-ruled Syria almost one year ago there has not been a minute where Eschatology Today favorably entertained the al-taqiyya coming from the "transitional" government led by Al-Qaeda jihadist Ahmed al-Sharaa. Apparently neither has the coalition government of Israel, its intelligence organs and the IDF.

The map above fairly indicates how the IDF in the past 12 months has been shaping and preparing the battlefield against the jihadist enemy to the north. Light blue is the Israeli Golan. The yellow corridor indicates the IDF's forward positions within Syria. Several protected Druze villages are located on both sides of the yellow corridor. 

The operation today in Beit Jinn at the base of Mount Hermon revealed the Syrian jihadist government has been deeply involved in attacking the IDF and the Druze communities in southern Syria. Cut to the chase - the map above shows the current border, but Bible prophecy indicates the northeastern border will be at the Euphrates River.

29 November 2025: On Monday this past week President Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) to officially declare the Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun) to be a foreign terrorist organization (FTO). The Jamaa Islamiya (JI) terrorists the IDF struck with ground troops in Beit Jinn, Syria yesterday are, in fact, the Lebanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood; they operate on both sides of the Lebanon-Syria border. Israeli intelligence uncovered preparations by the JI in Beit Jinn to launch cross-border attacks into Israel. The JI embedded themselves within both HAMAS and Hezbollah in the 2025 war in Lebanon, and now in Syria. Also in Syria are ground troops from Houthi Yemen.

Original Trump Gaza End War Plan

6 December 2025: As can be seen in the above map the Trump Gaza End War Plan is all about Israel's withdrawal from "Arab" land. The blue line is where the IDF was when the first phase began. The yellow line is where the IDF is today. The red line is where the IDF is to be when phase two begins. The orientation at each line up to this point is towards the Mediterranean Sea, or the area still under HAMAS/PIJ terrorist control.

Guess where Egypt wants to put the so-called "International Stabilization Force" (i.e. Arab-Islamic Military Forces) when phase two begins? On the current IDF yellow line, but not oriented towards the Sea, they want the orientation towards the IDF and Israel.

8 December 2025: GAZA HUDNA - PHASE II will begin upon the islamic terrorists release of police officer Ran Gvili's remains. Officer Gvili was killed on 07OCT23 and his body was kidnapped into Gaza as a hostage. The terrorists have always known where Gvili's remains are located but pretend otherwise for their benefit. Shame on Israeli authorities for playing the terrorists game for more than two years.

Iranian Hanukkah Threat?

UPDATE 16 December 2025: The above poster (enlarged left, original right) have appeared in Tehran of late threatening Israel with a new war. The northern Israeli coastal city of Nahariya has been singled out in a specific threat which reads "Towards the next war: Nahariya, get ready!" 

We tend to take Iranian threats seriously, but this could also be a psyop intended to distract from Hanukkah celebrations in the immediate aftermath of the Bondi Beach massacre masterminded by the IRGC-QF. 

Nahariya is located approximately 6 miles from the border with Lebanon.

  2. Apparently Israel has given the Lebanese army until Dec 7 to show 'progress' in their disarming of hezbollah. For some reason that I can't quite put my finger on, I am not confident regarding compliance with this time line . Clearly, Israel is also shaping the 'administrative' battle space for kinetic action. Bro Steve.

  3. This past Thursday morning the US spoke to the total failure of the 5-phase Lebanese government "Shield Plan" to even accomplish Phase 1 in September 2025. A 31 December 2025 ultimatum was then issued for the disarming of ALL militias in Lebanon, with failure to comply to be placed upon the government of Lebanon. Israel does not oppose this, and will continue to strike as Hezbollah continues rearming itself.

    The glaring problem with the US ultimatum is the lack of a definitive "or else" provision.

    The resumption of IDF strike operations against Hezbollah is the American's assumed result.

    However, the IDF will not move to occupy all of Lebanon in defeating Hezbollah. Air power alone has never conquered an enemy, only boots on the ground achieves that objective.

  4. Solar radiation coming at the Earth from coronal holes, X-class flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the past few months were identified as the cause of critical software data corruption that adversely affected thousands of Airbus A320 aircraft in service globally.

    A mandatory software update was issued by Airbus as a fix to "uncommanded pitch down and maneuvering." 6,000 A320 aircraft received the software updates.

    "Airbus said it issued the order after it was revealed that “intense solar radiation” may have corrupted data critical to the functioning of flight controls."

    We note this as a new highly energetic sunspot region now named as AR4294 is rotating into an Earth-facing position.

  5. This is why the government of Lebanon will bear full responsibility for and may not survive renewed warfare with Israel.

    “Today marks one year since the declaration of the ceasefire agreement, to which Lebanon has fully adhered, while Israel continues to refuse to implement it. The Lebanese Army has completely fulfilled its duties in the area of its deployment south of the Litani River.” - Lebanese President Joseph Aoun

    The man is divorced from reality.

  8. In 2024 the IDF Iron Beam Lite laser system shot down several dozen Hezbollah drones.

    On 30 December, the new "Or Eitan" (Eitan's Light) full-scale laser defense system will begin its IOC (Initial Operational Capability) on the battlefield for the IDF. Or Eitan can destroy with its 100kW laser enemy rockets, missiles and mortars as they are launched. Or Eitan M is the mobile version mounted on a large truck. Israel is the first nation on Earth with an operational system like this.

    1. Bro. Sean; Fascinating news. Energy weapons are total game changers - if you can track it, you can kill it. Even hypersonic missiles move at glacial speed compared to laser weapons. I recall that Israel a few years ago successfully tested airborne lasers (out the side of a light cargo plane). Shot down several airborne drones. I reckon with Israeli innovative abilities, we are very near seeing directed energy weapons on combat aircraft. Bro. Steve

  9. Iraq was warned to keep the Shi'a militias (esp. Kata'ib Hezbollah) from intervening in Israel's war with Lebanese Hezbollah or Israel will strike them on Iraqi territory.

    Fair warning and it's right out of Psalm 83.

  10. Take stock of the briefing US envoy Morgan Ortagus received today from Israel's PM, DM, and the head of Military Intelligence, Major General Shlomi Binder. Most revealing.

  11. A minimum of 52 days ago Eschatology Today (starting at 13 October) forecast where the war in Gaza would be. It is exactly at that point today. Trump's Gaza "Peace Folly" is on life support, as is the bogus hudna with Hezbollah. True to their jihadist nature both HAMAS and Hezbollah have used this time to rearm themselves in preparation for war against Israel, another situation correctly noted months ago.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Eschatology Today does not put much stock in Axios as a reliable news source, even less for others who play fast and free with certain facts. Therefore the JPOST will be cited, with emphasis, what has been reported.

    https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-879285

    "The "Board of Peace" will reportedly include approximately 10 Arab and Western leaders and will work alongside an international executive board composed of former British prime minister Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, US envoy Steve Witkoff, and other senior officials from contributing countries."

    This is a far cry from the prophetic narrative given to Daniel by the angel Gabriel (Daniel 7-12). However, the mimicry of prophetic Scripture is evident. Stay with Scripture and ignore NTEB, Axios and similar websites.

    1. sean, I used to follow NTEB every day on read every article they put out, but one day, something in my spirit told me there was something off, I quit following them then a few months later I went back on that site and realized the sensationalism and speculation that went on there. This was many years ago and I haven't been back. Now I just follow this site and not much else anymore. too much deception. I may not comment as much as I used to but I assure you I check in here a few times a day...and of course I make sure this site lines up with scripture, otherwise I'd have to leave too

  15. Dr. Mike Evans, who led a 1,000-strong delegation of our brethren to Shiloh, Israel, gave a key-note address there which pointed out the folly of the Trump Administration (and VP Vance specifically) regarding the policy of sovereignty of Judea and Samaria. God bless Dr. Evans for speaking out as he did today!

      Definitely needed to be said. It is GOD's land - given to Israel as appointed stewards. DJT and JDV need to understand what God does to those who seek to divide HIS land. Ariel Sharon - were he still alive - could explain this concept very well. Bro. Steve

    1. Brethren,

      Taking stock of this blog as the 17th year of its existence nears, one thing stands out: consistency.

      Daniel 9:24-27 remains at the core, and those verses came from Almighty God via the angel Gabriel as does the entire "end times" narrative found in Daniel chapters 7 through 12.
      Jesus' Olivet Discourse and the entire Apocalypse (Revelation) of Jesus Christ are as inviolate and permanent as the Living Word of God.

      On this basis we know the future in exquisite detail by the power of the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh).

  17. Not quite 6 months after the June war the IDF revealed in a classified briefing to the Knesset that "Iran has resumed producing ballistic missiles at a high rate."

    So much for the Trump sanctions re-imposed on Iran to curtail aircraft and ballistic missile production. Hyperbole at best, combat ineffective at worst.

  22. I hope this is not too off topic to share. Probably many of you have already heard While You Were Sleeping years ago, but it was brand new to me yesterday. It absolutely blew me away. Very appropriate, especially now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBVOCMLIXUY

    Here are the lyrics:
    Oh, little town of Bethlehem
    Looks like another silent night
    Above your deep and dreamless sleep
    A giant star lights up the sky
    And while you are lying in the dark
    There shines an everlasting light
    For the King has left His throne
    And is sleeping in a manger tonight, tonight
    Oh, Bethlehem, what you have missed
    While you were sleeping
    For God became a man
    And stepped into your world today
    Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
    As a city with no room for its King

    While you were sleeping
    While you were sleeping

    Oh, little town of Jerusalem
    Looks like another silent night
    The Father gave His only Son
    The way, the truth, the life had come
    But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save
    Jerusalem, what you have missed
    While you were sleeping?
    The Savior of the world
    Is dying on your cross today
    Jerusalem, you will go down in history
    As a city with no room for its King
    While you were sleeping
    While you were sleeping

    United States of America
    Looks like another silent night
    As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
    That save the trees and kill the children
    And while were lying in the dark
    There's a shout heard cross the eastern sky
    For the Bridegroom has returned
    And has carried His bride away in the night, in the night
    America, what will we miss
    While we are sleeping
    Will Jesus come again
    And leave us slumbering where we lay
    America, will we go down in history
    As a nation with no room for its King

    Will we be sleeping?
    Will we be sleeping?

    United States of America
    Looks like another silent night

    3. "While You Were Sleeping" by Casting Crowns is wholly appropriate for the season we are in and the time in which this last generation lives. It is a song inspired by the Holy Spirit.

      The final verses of the song speak not to the actual Second Coming but to the Harpazo of the Bride by her Groom.

      It invokes the message of Jesus that Matthew 25:1-13 has recorded, and therefore it is a song about that prophecy.

      Five of the virgins have oiled lamps. Who needs oiled lamps to see in broad daylight?

      "For the Bridegroom has returned
      And has carried His bride away in the night, in the night...
      "

    1. The IDF has for the second time this week struck Hezbollah training bases in Lebanon. These strikes are directly related to the operations in southern Syria to preempt terrorist incursions to take Israeli citizens hostage. See 05:21 comment below.

  24. The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) is reporting this morning (12 NOV 25) on a column of 8 IDF vehicles (and the troops within) violating the 1974 ceasefire (hudna) agreement by advancing north into several villages north of Quneitra to abduct citizens. This is SANA pro-jihadist government propaganda.

    The fact is the IDF is operating on actionable intelligence to arrest specific terrorists as has been done since late November in this same region in an attempt to preempt with precision a planned terrorist invasion of northern Israel. This is the crux of this SITREP. If these ops are unsuccessful then war is inevitable.
