Conclusion Pastor Boyd
The "Shadow War" between Israel and Iran has been going on for years, bringing us closer and closer to today's events and what is to come.
On Monday, Hezbollah will mark the 10th anniversary of the death of Imad Mughniyeh, its legendary and ruthless military commander, whose absence, according to Israeli intelligence, is felt still today.
Terrorist Killed
Mughniyeh â the mastermind of the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut (1983) where over 224 marines were blown-up, as well as the attacks against the Israeli Embassy (1992) and the Jewish community center (1994) in Buenos Aires â was killed in Damascus on February 12, 2008, just after he finished a meeting with some of his Iranian patrons. The Mossad reportedly planted a bomb in the spare tire on the back of his Mitsubishi jeep blowing him to bits.
The assassination of Mughniyeh as well as countless other operations and targeted killings attributed to Israel have been going on for years as part of the âShadow Warâ between Israel and Iran and the proxies it funds and operates throughout the Middle East.
For the most part, until now, this war has been fought behind the scenes. Who needs to know, knows, and while some details occasionally make their way to the public domain, most do not.
Open War Has Begun
What happened in northern Israel on Saturday is the beginning of the overt and direct war between Israel and Iran. The infiltration and interception of an Iranian drone over Israel, the downing of an Israeli F-16 and Israelâs retaliatory strikes against Syrian and Iranian targets that followed, are apparently just the opening scenes of a potentially wider conflict that could erupt if Iran continues trying to fortify its presence in the new Syria.
This was long in the making. Years ago, the Iranians came to the rescue of Bashar Assad in Syria and, together with Russia, ensured his survival. The problem is that they havenât left. On the contrary â even though Assad is today in control of the majority of Syria, Iran is staying put and trying to establish an even greater presence within the country. On Saturday, we saw how determined it is to do just that.
Iran
It is too early to tell what lesson Iran has learned from the clash on Saturday. On the one hand, it succeeded in infiltrating a drone into Israel, even though it was ultimately intercepted. Its ally Syria succeeded in shooting down an Israeli fighter jet, the two pilots ejected. On the other hand, Israel carried out its most widespread bombings in Syria since it destroyed almost all of Syriaâs air defenses in 1982 with 12 expert hits on suspected military targets.
Israelâs retaliation was important for two reasons â it needed to neutralize the Syrian batteries that were used to down the F-16, but also to exact a price from Iran by bombing the control center used to operate the drone as well as other Iranian targets in Syria â the nature of which we will likely learn over the coming days.
The question will be whether Israel succeeded in boosting its deterrence. That depends on what Iran decides to do next. Will it keep on building its presence in Syria? Will it attempt another violation of Israelâs sovereignty down the road?
While the downing of a fighter jet was not totally unexpected and needs to be viewed through the wider context of what has been going on for the last five years, over all Israel strike was a success. Israel has carried out more than 100 strikes in Syria, and in war there are always wins and losses. The fact that a plane hasnât been shot down until now is the real story and speaks volumes of the IAFâs superior capabilities.
Russia
Finally, Israel needs to be concerned by Russiaâs response to the events on Saturday. In Moscow, the Foreign Ministry issued a statement calling for restraint and for all sides to ârespect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria.â
On the surface, it seems like Russia is taking Iran and Syriaâs side and not Israelâs, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuâs best efforts to win over Vladimir Putin and his countless meetings with the Russian president. Beyond the ministry statementâs rhetorical significance, it could have practical consequences if Russia decides to deny Israel operational freedom over Syria in the future.
Israel
Israel will have to tread carefully and will not have a lot of choice but to accept Moscowâs directives. While Russia has allowed Iran to establish a presence in Syria it has â until now â prevented it from setting up large bases or a presence right along the border with Israel on the Golan Heights.
That could all still happen â and will depend on what Russiaâs interests will be when it comes to the future of Syria and the wider Middle East.
Conclusion
With the Psalm 83 War on the horizon my reports say this open war will expand, according then to revelations in scripture Damascus Syria will be destroyed, a catastrophe in Iran will take place forcing the Iranians to leave their land, the Israelis will take back their real promised land and the great tribulation will begin with the judgment of the nations to intensify. All fingers point to Israel as being the key. We are but a stoneâs throw away from this going ballistic. Hold on there is a hard ride coming.

The thing I dislike most about Trump is his joining at the hip with Israel. This will lead to yet another Mideast war for Israel but this time with a country that we can not dominate.
If Israel wants a war with Iran then let them fight it by themselves. Don't waste our treasure and blood on another one but I do not doubt that we will be stupid enough to do it again and this will unseat Trump to the cheers of the liberals.

It makes sense for the Russians to bolster Syria’s air defense systems. While Israel may be willing to take pot shots at Iran’s proxies there is no way they will take a shot at the Russians, Bibi will be forced to eat whatever Putin stuffs down his throat.

After Mr Obama provided Iran the $150 billion and another $1.73 billion cash, Iran now is prepared to attack Israel. They have tested their weapons around Syria, getting over the skies of Israel to secretly get surveillance from Israel for their target. Fortunately Israel hit their drone trying to overstep their boundary.

Putin isn't stupid, he'll talk a good game but wouldn't risk losing it all in a war against Israel and Trump's America. He'd lose.

Putin's biggest job is to keep Iran from pissing off Israel. Putin doesn’t want to be forced to defend Iran against Israel and Trump's America.
