The IDF is hitting back by expanding the targets of its air strikes to include the Syrian regime army positions hosting or covering Iranian Revolutionary Guards or Shiite militia forces in the south and the east.
The tempo and quality of Israeli strikes against Iranian assets in Syria, including kinetic operations, the general said, have been enhanced this year, along with more numerous covert and clandestine missions.”
Iran had also significantly stalled its cargo airlift for smuggling weapons into Syria, Gen. Kochavi revealed. This came as a result of the destruction by aerial bombardments in recent months of vast quantities of advanced weaponry, that were to have been handed over to Iran’s proxy, Hizballah, for using in Lebanon as a convenient forward base for attacking Israel.
To escape Israel’s air strikes, Iran has moved its bases, camps and headquarters out of the line of Israeli fire around Damascus towards the northern and eastern parts of Syria.
Iranian forces have also been drawn down. Hizballah and Syrian armed units have been left to anchor Iran’s presence in the south. Moreover, reported IDF air strikes on IRGC positions at Abu Kamal in eastern Syria on the sensitive border with Iraq showed Israel to be undeterred by the proximity of US bases.
Tehran is acting on the assumption that Israel is intent on provoking a major clash to provide Donald Trump with justification for clobbering Iran or its interests in the waning days of his presidency. Tehran is therefore at pains to avoid overt or extreme response to the intensified IDF campaign. Its presence in South Syria is denied except for “a few advisers.” Reported casualties are dismissed as “Zionist propaganda.”
The IDF is using Tehran’s caution to seriously bludgeon its assets and collaborators in Syria for the purpose of driving home Israel’s determination to drive them out.

Bob,
Sorry to hear all of that.Its clearly been a rough road...I have so many thoughts that jump to mind. The first thing is, take a look at Howard Storm's story - I think you may find it fascinating - there are an array of videos where he is speaking or being interviewed. I believe he and people like him were sent back to tell their stories. Also remember this is the adversary's planet now and until the second coming it will remain so. There is undoubtedly a tremendous amount of hardship and pain and suffering. As far as prophecy - when I started learning it - I came in as a total skeptic because I had never been taught prophecy and had never heard of things such as the rapture of the church etc....At that time, I was traveling a lot and I'd read 3-4 books on a trip to Europe or the UK. So I started looking at every viewpoint and did years or research from every end. The literal view espoused by the group that came out of Dallas made the most sense to me, as they developed a 'model' based on how past prophecy was fulfilled and it not only made sense, this POV was tested in recent developments over the past 4-5 decades. Just the prophetic developments around Jesus birth, life and death were incredibly accurate....Then we had the dead sea scrolls which proved that these prophecies (many of them) were dated 200+ years prior to Jesus birth - so we know they weren't written after the fact. So in a nutshell, if past prophecies have come true in a literal sense, it makes sense that future prophecies would as well. I would recommend reading "Footsteps of the Messiah" by A Fruchtenbaum or "Maranatha Our Lord Comes" By Showers, who writes more like a lawyer. I also believe in free grace and "once saved always saved"...If you get a chance, again, take a look at Howard Storm videos (or book)...Mary Neal's story is also fascinating. Hang in there - I'm so sorry for your pain and losses, its been a tough road and I can't imagine having gone through what you have gone through. I can see where you are coming from. Stay in touch please
