(IsraelNN.com) Hizbullah recently received a shipment of weapons from Russia in preparation for war against Israel, a Hizbullah commander told Newsweek magazine. "We're still in a state of war," he told the magazine. The terrorist organization said it thoroughly prepared itself for the recent military takeover of parts of Beirut and that its terrorists still are patrolling the area. Its intelligence network infiltrated deep into Lebanese society and conducted detailed surveillance on rival Sunni security guards, enabling Hizbullah to swiftly take control in violent clashes with the Lebanese army and in Sunni neighborhoods.

Syria Preparing for an Israeli Attack (IsraelNN.com) Syria has enlisted many of its reservists and is conducting large-scale army exercises in preparation for a possible war with Israel, according to Al-Quds Al-Arabi. Syrian sources quoted in the London-based paper said they were preparing for an Israeli attack on Syria and Hizbullah. The Syrian sources said they saw recent IDF exercises as a threat. They accused Israeli leaders of inciting the public against Syria and “attempting to prepare the Israeli and international public for a large war against Syria.”

Israeli minister: Syria not ready for peace
See below. This Comment clearly shows that Israel's God is putting hooks into Assad to draw him into a war with Israel. Assad not considering to enter into dialogue with Olmert after he had opened many doors and windows to do so by sending him twenty messages, even putting the Golan on the table, shows clearly that Syria has no other option than to be part of Iran's war against Israel along with Hizballah.
March 27, 2008: See the comment on this date below by Zionsake about the estimates of the IDF of casualties in an expected war with Syria. There is a lot of talk about and preparations for a possible war with Syria and Hezballah going in Israel at this time, that indicate that such a war could be imminent.
September 11, 2007: The last remaining factor in the scenario of the Isaiah 17 has fallen in place: the question of how Jordan is going to be drawn in? I watched an interview with Barry Chamish in which he mentioned that missiles are pointing to Israel from five Muslim territories: Lebanon (Hezballah), Syria, JORDAN, Saudi Arabia and Gaza - we know they have more potent missiles than the kassams they are presently firing at Israel. It was news to me that there are missiles deployed against Israel in Jordan - perhaps it's the price the Hashemite King has to pay to be allowed to rule Jordan -- for now! (Iran of course, has missiles that can reach Israel, even Europe, but they are not mentioned as players in the Isaiah 17 war.)
September 5, 2007:
Israel is being threatened from all sides, but her conspiring government (with Israel's enemies) is still trying to ride the ever growing wave threatening Israel to keep itself going, by grabbing every straw that could lead to some form of a peace agreement - under a cover-up by the judiciary, the Winograd Commission and media of their failures and of the danger their irresponsible actions could potentially create for Israel. Meanwhile their empty threats to retaliate against missile launchers in Gaza is noted with contempt by the Islamic terrorists.
Instead of doing something to prepare against the missile war against Israel by Syria, Hezballah and Islamic terrorists in Israel's Arab occupied territories, they are preparing to remove more settlements to impress the Bush Administration. Here is what Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA had to say about it:- Fortunately, since there is pastoral peace in the South [Negev] while in the North Hezbollah has been disarmed and the Syrians are busy basket weaving, the IDF can now focus its limited resources on pleasing Washington with a nicely photographed orgy of Jewish bone breaking. A move that will be rewarded by a drop in pressure on Israel to make concessions lasting at best as long as the news cycle covering the bone breaking (12 hours?] Lately the following scenarios have become potential catalysts for a missile war against Israel: - A military confrontation between the USA and Iran. I have picked up a report in only one media outlet that the US is preparing to demolish Iran's military capabilities in a massive bombing raid - IsraelNN.com: "The Times of London reported Sunday that the USA has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, which would "annihilate the Iranians' military capability in three days."
Iran is also preparing for such a attack. The top leadership of the Presidential Guard has been replaced by ultra-loyalists and they are warning that action against them would unleash a reaction that would surprise the US. Syria & Hezballah will immediately launch a missile attack on Israel and US interests would be attacked world-wide, oil exports via the Persian Gulf would be disrupted, etc. - Another civil war between Hamas and Fatah in Gaza and Judea & Samaria. Israel being foolish enough to remove checkpoints on the "Westbank" could enable Hamas to move around freely to launch an attack. The IDF might want to keep the checkpoints in tact to facilitate the expulsion of Jews from so-called illegal outposts, but Israel might under US pressure nevertheless be forced to remove roadblocks.
- Israeli actions against Hamas in Gaza to stop the launching of kassams. Whereas a large scale invasion of Gaza is not likely, the southern border area could be retaken to prevent arms smuggling into Gaza. Such action by Israel might very well stir up Hamas' allies in the north to retaliate with missile attacks on Israel.
August 24, '07: (IsraelNN.com) This week the IDF Senior Command held a workshop to identify and prepare the IDF for potential future conflicts in the next five years. Several main scenarios were identified. Among these threats was a potential rebellion by Israeli Arabs, who have become increasingly hostile to the State of Israel. eeeeeeeeee The top threats identified were: - a hostile country not bordering Israel achieving nuclear capability (e.g. Iran),
- a war with Syria,
- another war started by the Hizbullah,
- a confrontation with Islamic terror groups,
- a deep freeze in relations with post-Mubarak Egypt,
- a possibility of the end of the Hashemite dynasty in Jordan,
- an Islamic revolution in Saudi Arabia,
- a rebellion by Israeli Arabs,
- Any one or a combination or some or all of these threats.
23 Aug. 2007: The Report that I have posted on August 21, 2007, "Israel’s Armed Forces Undermanned, Under-equipped for War ... more," also points to the present time being optimumal for the Muslim Arabs to try to destroy Israel in what would be the Isaiah 17 war. The fact that they haven't done so yet, knowing I'm sure, about Israel's weakeness, because her Minister of Defense is broadcasting it to the world, could mean it's not the Lord's time for it, or they are still waiting for something. 16 Aug. 2007: The Israeli government is still is making every possible effort to transmit to Syria that Israel has no intention of attacking them, while anyway carrying on with preparations for a possible war - and broadcasting to the enemy how unprepared the IDF is for war. The ex-general-turned politician who has caused the disaster Israel is facing from the north by his cowardly withdrawal from Lebanon in 1982, is now again in a position to do serious damage to Israel by having been appointed as Minister of Defence. In this capacity he is further indicating to Syria that Israel has no intention to attack them, by refusing to distributing gas masks to the Israeli population - thereby also hiding the fact that Israel only has gas masks for half of her citizens. This in spite of knowing that Syria can arm their missiles with poisonous chemicals. 2 Aug. 2007: Jordan still evades being drawn into the scenario of the Isaiah 17 war by resisting to be drawn into the conflict between Israel, Abbas' PA and Hamas. Meanwhile every Israeli I speak to thinks war is imminent. There is a big increase in the numbers of IDF reserve soldiers being called up, while Olmert is trying to pull the wool over people's eyes by saying (yesterday) that he doesn't believe there is going to be a war this summer or in the fall. Nothing emanates, though, that could be a spark that would start a war. I suspected that this flurry of diplomatic interaction that has been taking place between Olmert, Jordan, Abbas, and the Arab League was to form a united front against the Iranian threat. They have been saying it is about establishing a Palestinian state, that it seems, is really so - driven by Rice and Blair. It ties in with Olmert's vendetta to displace the Jews from their inheritance in (all of) Judea and Samaria. Soon after he became PM-by-default, it became clear that he wouldn't have the political support to pull off another unilateral withdrawal from Yesha. Now, two years after the withdrawal from Gaza, it is obvious to everybody that the Kadima government never intended to take care of the Jews they had dragged from their homes. They didn't care about 10,000 home/jobless people, and neither will they of another 150,000 or so. The settlers know it, of whom thousands who serve in the IDF as reserve soldiers - plus of course other soldiers who sympathize with them -- probably as much as 45% of the reserves, the best soldiers in the IDF. They intend to resist attempts to dislodge them and settler activism is rising in continued attemts to settle on abandonned outposts. There is even talk of establishing a Jewish state on the "West Bank," called "JUDEA" - something God will not bless because it divides His land the same way a state for the Arabs would!!! Some annalists have in the last day or so come up with a thesis that could present the only way for Olmert to abandon Yesha to the Muslims, namely by means of a war that would end in Israel losing instead of gaining land as in 1967. These gains in 1967 immediately caused major problems for Israel's liberal leaders, because they were stuck with things they didn't want under their control. Moshe Dayan managed to summarily return control of the Temple Mount to Jordan and Menachem Begin was forced into giving up the Sinai - that Arial Sharon facilitated by invading Cairo in 1967 instead of consolidating Israel's hold on the Sinai. By allowing Jews to settle in the re-capture "West Bank" (from Jordan), they probably used the American State Department's strategy of building into enemies, only to later turn against them, like with the Taliban and Saddam Hussein. Populating Yesha with nationalist Jews (the sons of Zion), the enemies of the Labor Zionists (the sons of Greece), could have been a strategy to destroy them collectively - just as establishing a Jewish homeland was a continuation of the "Final Solution" to get rid of God's bearers of his final solution for salvation for mankind - via His Messiah's sacrifice. (See http://www.hirhome.com/) If it is Olmert's plan to start a war with the intention of losing it, the result might very well be the opposite of what he intended; that Israel will gain land as in 1967 - especially if Jordan, Syria and Hizballah get drawn into the war, as in Isaiah 17. 22 July 2007: PM-by-default Olmert's futile bolstering of the PA's Abbas continued, as did meetings with the Jordanians - most probably about the threat Iran and its allies pose to them. While this happened, Ahmedinajab of Iran turned up in Syria on 19 July to strenghthen their military alliance and to squach any possibility of Bashar Assad getting into peace talks with Israel. Nasrallah of Hizballah also entered Syria by means of a tunnel under the border to meet with Ahmedinajab. 15 July 2007: Information has been leaked about a secret visit of PM Olmert to see King Abdullah in Jordan on July 11. Nobody knows what it was about, but whatever it was, it points to the likelihood of Jordan being drawn into the planned aggression of Iran and its allies against Israel. For instance, If it is about sending the Badr terrorist squad from Jordan to Judea and Samaria to help Abbas in his battle with Hamas, it could bring the Hashemites in conflict with Iran, causing her to release her killer dogs against the Hashemite King. Israeli PMs Barak, Sharon and his lackey Olmert, have succeeded to empower Hizballah, Hamas and Al Qaida in the Lebanon and Gaza, and we could very well see a repeat of that in Gaza. Information that our Multiply friend Aukina has posted indicates that a full-blown civil war might erupt in Lebanon after 15 July, judging from Syria and Iran having told their citizens to leave from there by 15 July. It raises the question whether a Shiite take-over in Lebanon has for now become a higher priority for Iran than to eliminate Israel. Perhaps it's in preparation of an all-out onslaught on Israel 11 July 2007: I've seen a number of articles in which it was alleged that the aim of the Bush Administration's invasion of Iraq was to put Iran in control when Saddam Hussein was overthrown. It seems that what the U.S.'s involvement in the Middle East is about is to balance the scales of the Sunnis vs. the Shiites and to play them off against each other. Well, the Hamas takeover of Gaza has completely polarized them. That is, Iran and its allies, Syria, Hizballah, Al Qaida and Hamas together with brother Islamofacists, Islamic Jihad and others, against Israel, Fatah, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. This must surely be the reason why of the Arab League's Ministers have pocketed all reservations of the past and are due to visit Israel for discussions. Obviously Iran and its allies have become just as great a threat for them as for Israel. 9 July 2007: We have reached the point where Israel's leftist whitewashing government is not even trying to do any whitewashing anymore - that is, talking about peace, building walls, build shelters (or promises to), negate military intelligence, etc., instead of dealing with Israel's enemies who perpetrate terror attacks, fire missiles, etc. - like king David would have done! They have also resorted to attacking and belittling people who warn them that they have ignored the danger of Israel's enemies to the country far too long. Names that are at the top of the list of these mismanagers is Olmert, Mofaz, Lieberman and Livni. The main source of this dreadful information is Caroline Glick's article I've posted today: She shows that Hamas' position improves by the day. On Sunday, just after Israel made its first payment of $120 million to Salaam Fayad's Fatah government, Fayad announced that the money will go to pay salaries of PA employees in Gaza. This tells us two things. First, it shatters the illusion of two distinct PA's - one that is bad and one that is good. Second, his move exposes as a lie Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's claim that the money was going only to Fatah. Indeed, it showed that Israel is funding Hamas. So Hamas is sharing the treasure trove of intelligence it captured during its takeover of Gaza with Iran. In the greatest intelligence victory ever accomplished by a jihadist organization, Hamas (and Iran) now possess the files of all of the Palestinian security apparatuses. Gloves are off, because Iran now saw the ill-intent of Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, etc. against them. It means that the emergence of Hamastan in Gaza endangers not only Israel, but regional security as a whole. No doubt this state of affairs was central in causing the Egyptians, Saudis and Jordanians to tell Palestinian Authority Chairman and Fatah chief Abbas not to clash with Hamas but to try to forge a new accord with it. The Olmert government's refusal to take the Hamas-Iranian-Syrian threat seriously fits well with its overall refusal to forge any coherent policies for dealing with any of the mounting threats that Israel faces. Radio Damascus reported Wednesday that the Syrian regime views IDF exercises in the North as a threat. This announcement can only be seen as a Syrian bid to develop a pretext for starting a war against Israel. ...A missile war. And what does the Olmert government do about the threat: they are overhauling and upgrading the National Security Council, while the main lesson of the Second Lebanon War (the missile danger) is being systematically ignored..... their personal political survival is all that counts, regardless of the consequences for the nation's security!! 7 July 2007: As this # 777 comes up, it becomes clear that the Hamas take-over of Gaza had to do with securing a south-western attack front against Israel by Egypt: Hamas vs. Fatah: A curious ‘fight’. Francisco Gil-White. We have, then, that the forces that wish to destroy Israel staged a fight between Hamas and Fatah so that they could consolidate an enormous amount of weaponry in Gaza under a unified leadership, ready to launch Egypt’s final genocidal assault against Israel. This theater has represented the PLO, once again, as the ‘moderates,’ and this has become a renewed excuse to arm the PLO to the teeth in the West Bank, where it has consolidated its forces under a unified leadership and renewed, massive Western and Israeli funding. The chessboard is now almost ready for another great mass killing of Jews, a very stable process of Western and Muslim civilization, for such events have been happening repeatedly with great regularity for over two millennia. It is doubtful in my opinion though, that Fatah will remain in charge on the "West Bank." It therefore seems that the "West Bank" will fall to Hamas before the Hashemite Kingdom in Jordan 6 July 2007: All the speculation on July 4 ended in certainty that outside forces were involved, among which the U.S.A. and that Fatah's Abbas was told to take a dive. The following article made it clear that the U.S.A. does not care which group of Islamofacists they use to achieve their goals: US is creating an Islamist state controlled by al Qaeda in Kosovo. My guess is that it has to do with the U.S.A. doing the bidding of the Vatican to control the Serbs against whom the Vatican has a more than hundred year old grudge. See: http://scripture_keywords.tripod.com/Babylon-Rome-Mysteries/17-Communism-to-Fascisms.html ... Fascism throughout Europe, viz. in Croatia against Mussolini and the Vatican's common enemy, the Serbs and the new State of Yugoslavia. Mussolini directly supported the fervently Romanist "Ustashi," a ...
The point is that if the U.S.A. doesn't care which Islamofacists control Kosovo and Gaza, why would they want to keep the corrupt, outdated Fatah terrorist gang standing in Ramallah? Israel's removal of roadblocks on the West Bank will make it just that much asier for a Hamas take-over. The following was reported in the Times: Fatah on shaky ground in West Bank By Ken Ellingwood, Times Staff Writer. July 6, 2007 RAMALLAH, WEST BANK — Routed in the Gaza Strip, the Fatah party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is fractured and adrift at a moment when it is viewed by the outside world as the best hope for blunting the militant Hamas movement in the West Bank.
5 July 2007: Endless discussions are raging in the media about who was really behind the coup de tat in Gaza and it's implications for Judea, Samaria, Israel and Jordan. The following article is a good example: Did the US orchestrate the Hamas coup as a precursor to destroying Israel? A major part of the Comment discussions about the article centers around what sort of a friend the USA is of Israel. Whoever is behind whatever, though, boils down to what we see in the article I posted this morning: Gaza is a Mirror of the future of Judea/Samaria/Jordan/the Golan. This morning I also spotted the following statement in a newsfeed about a company that has acquired the rights to sell "wireless products in Jordan and West Palestine..." Obviously West Palestine is the land west of the Jordan River. This hoped for future reality for "whoever," is also reflected in the following paragraph in the article "Gaza is the Mirror...:" Palestine, moreover, possesses growth potential - from a mini-monster to a giant ogre. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan - an artificial entity occupying 80% of original Palestine - mightn't survive. Greater Palestine will stretch all the way to the Iraq the Americans cannot control. Palestine's irredentist appetite for the leftover slivers of Israel will swell as it expands. 4 July 2007: I will keep on adding to this file as events unfold that prepare the way for the Isaiah 17 war. Since yesterday a new complicating development is brewing that will make a complete fool of Olmert and his attempts to bolster Abbas and Fatah against Hamas. He's going to backfire on him, because Fatah & Hamas are clearly on their way to get reconciled. So Hamas is again going to benefit from Israel's goodwill gestures! PM-by-default Olmert has already delivered 500 million of the 800 million shekel in frozen tax revenues to Abbas. Even before a reconciliation, Hamas would have benefited from it in that PA officials in Gaza were also going to be paid, causing an influx of money into Gaza. When they are buddies again, it will surely be on the condition that revenues are shared. Arrangements are also on the way to remove checkpoints in Judea & Samaria that would have hampered Abbas' clampdown on Hamas in this area - had Hamas members still been in hiding. Now Abbas isn't going after them anymore, so they can move around with much more freedom, that will enable them to try to perpetrate terror attacks against Israel. It is doubtful that Hamas would honor an agreement not to try to undermine Abbas on the "West Bank" and even take charge as they did in Gaza - and tried to take charge of the Temple Mount and East Jerusalem in recent days -- see Shabak apprehend 13 Hamas operatives in East Jerusalem. It would turn basically all of Judea & Samaria into a front against Israel, something that King Abdullah of Jordan also fears, because it could also threaten his control of Jordan. Of course, the IDF is still operating in Judea & Samaria, but removing checkpoints will take away their only real effective way to stop terrorist positioning themselves for an attack on Israelis, "militants" moving around arms, etc. It could lead to a full blown war with the Muslims in the territories under their control, following a major terrorist attack on Israel, a coup de tat by Hamas on the "West Bank," etc. ---------------------------- July 2007: The front-forming against Israel, explained in the previous Update of September 2006, continued with Gaza recently becoming a full-blown western front when Hamas completed ousting Fatah on 14 June and took control of the strip. What makes this front so formidable is that Iran was the driving force behind it in her proxy war against Israel - as she is the driving force behind Syria and Hizballah on Israel's northern border. Egypt was just as much behind it though, firstly by not doing anything about the smuggling of arms to Hamas and secondly by allowing Syrian and Iranian instructors and strategist into Gaza to direct Hamas' forces in their civil war against Fatah. The reason for Egypt siding with Hamas was that Dahlan (Fatah) and his allies were working with Al Qaida-aligned groups to undermine Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the regime of President Hosni Mubarak in the Sinai Peninsula.
Jordan is also slowly moving into the picture due to suggestions that the Badr terrorist squad of Arafat's PLO, who are still in Jordan, be sent to Judea and Samaria to help Abbas against Hamas. It could bring conflict between Jordan's Hashemite King and Iran, because it could interfere with her proxy war against Israel via Syria, Hizballah and Hamas. The main proponent of this brilliant idea to involve Jordan in Judea and Samaria, has been Bibi Netanyahu, Washington and the CFR's blue-eyed boy among Israel's liberal Freemason politicians. He was also the Prime Minister who gave virtual control of the heart of Israel's heart-land, Hebron to the Muslim Arabs in the 1998 Wye River Memorandum that facilitated the Hebron Redeployment Agreement. Sharon then foreign minister stood beside him. I have realized that this actually formed a southern front against Israel in Judea.
The Arabs and Iran have been talking for months of their attack on Israel "this summer!" When "this summer." though? The abduction of two Israeli soldiers by Hizballah that lead to israel's invasion of Lebanon was on 16 July 2006. That was very much mid-summer, so it might also be the date when we will see action again in 2007. It seems that Hamas might be the spark that will start a full-blown war against Israel. Judging from preparations a few Christians in Jerusalem are making to be ready to flee to the mountains, this war could lead to major destruction in Israel. The war against Syria that will lead to the destruction of Damascus is said in Isaiah 17 to be basically an overnight war, probably following a massive act of aggression by Syria. It seems possible, however, that a "softening up" of Israel by local Arabs could start long before that, followed by Hizballah entering in with a missile rain from the north, with Syria finally trying to give the death-blow.
As we enter July, the "foolish" Israeli Prime Minister, Olmert, whom the Lord has raised up for this time (a word to a sister in the Lord), is rushing to make goodwill gestures to Israel's Muslim enemies. Frozen tax money amounting to more than 600 million shekels to Abbas' PA government, more arms and a removal of check points in Judea and Samaria; a release of four Jordanians who had murdered Israeli soldiers, to King Abdullah of Jordan to complete their life sentences in their homeland - or to be pardoned by the King. As we have seen so many times in the past, these concessions, faith-building and goodwill gestures just embolden and strengthen Israel's enemies and she will just suffer from it. A good example of this is presently the kassam and other attacks Israel is suffering while she is offering humanitarian services to Gaza - so as not to stand by idly while the "poor" civilians are suffering - among these innocent civilians are according to Hamas, thousands of women who are ready to carry out suicide attacks against Israel.
