Israel Bombs Syria But Still Won’t Confront Iran
Israeli aircraft allegedly bombed targets in Syria twice over the weekend. The incidents mark an unprecedented escalation of Israel’s involvement in Syria’s ongoing civil war.
Although the Israeli government refused to officially comment on the two air strikes, a senior official said that both of them targeted shipments of Fateh-110 guided missiles that were bound for Hezbollah. From Hezbollah’s territory in Lebanon, the Iranian-made Fateh-110 can fly deep into Israel with a deadly half-ton payload and pinpoint accuracy.
Israel has repeatedly threatened to intervene in the Syrian civil war to stop the transfer of what it calls “game-changing” weapons to Hezbollah, an Iranian-sponsored group that battled Israel to a stalemate during a war in 2006.
At that time, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote: “The Jews have a broken will. America and Britain have the same prophesied disease (Leviticus 26:19). The cause is our ‘immoral and decadent’ way of life, as the terrorists keep telling us. And in this area they are right! So don’t be surprised if the Jews show a lack of will and fail to remove the Hezbollah terrorists. That will mean victory for the terrorists and Iran. The terrorist-fighting nations lack the will to win the war” (“The Only Solution to the Middle East Crisis,” July 19, 2006).
How right that prophecy was. Now in 2013, Israel again is having to deal with Iran and its terror proxy, Hezbollah.
Israel continues to play a dangerous game with Iran. Instead of dealing with the Iranian threat directly, it continues to fight Iranian-made weapons and battle against Iranian-backed proxies.
In the process, Israel’s weakness is being exposed: It does not have the will to take the battle to the radical, theological government that is sponsoring the terror.
Bible prophecy shows that another world power will soon deal with Iran once and for all. To understand more about this prophecy, read our free booklet Jerusalem in Prophecy. Also watch Gerald Flurry’s new Key of David program, “The Whirlwind,” airing May 8-12.
