For some time now Eschatology Today has held to the expectation for Israel via the IDF, Shin Bet and Border Police to execute an unprecedented, large-scale counter-terror military operation throughout Judea and Samaria. Therefore it was not unanticipated that an acknowledgement of such action would be forthcoming. Moreover, just yesterday that the ruling coalition government of Israel made clear that it has always known the required measures to be taken in order to return Israel to a situation of economic prosperity and security for all of the people of Israel.
The hiding in plain sight takeaway here is that the "required measures to be taken" have heretofore been thus far thwarted by political considerations, be they foreign or domestic, but most likely both.
However, within the statement made by the Chairman of World Likud and former Israeli U.N. Ambassador, MK Danny Danon, a brief excerpt from the acknowledgment may just serve as a forewarning of the expected military actions. Quoting MK Danon (emphasis added):
"As a member of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee and several subcommittees, I know the strength and the power of the IDF. The current situation cannot and will not continue. We will not remain silent at the ongoing provocations and waves of attacks. In the coming year we will use all our strength to restore governance and personal security to the citizens of Israel."
Yom Kippur for 2023 begins at sunset on 24 September and ends at nightfall on 25 September. This defines the start of "in the coming year" from the Israeli perspective. Might these be "Days of Awe" not seen in the past 50 years, that is since the Days of Awe preceding Yom Kippur 1973? We'll seen soon enough; this one's on a short fuse.

Just released Israel Defense Ministry imagery via Israeli media |
11 SPTEMBER 2023: Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed a couple hours ago Israeli orbital intelligence imagery show the air base constructed by Iran (IRGC_QF) on Lebanese territory for use against the citizens of Israel. The airbase is located just 12 miles from Israel's border with Lebanon. DM Gallant pointed out via photo enlargement (below) that the Iranian national flag flies over the air base along with the terrorist Hezbollah flag.
DM Gallant said, "In other words: the land - Lebanese, the control - Iranian, the target - Israel."
