A number of events have made new headlines during the past week all raising concerns for those charged with the defense of Israel. Two of the events revolve around happenings during the Syrian Civil War while the third event resulted from an announcement by the United States government.
The civil war in Syria has raged continually for over a year with "rebel forces" attempting to overthrow the Assad government. The rebel forces appear to include elements of enemies of Israel. Approximately 80,000 opponents of the government have been killed and now there appears to be strong evidence the government is using chemical weapons. An enemy of Israel on its border using such tactics is an ominous sign for Israel.
Additionally, Israeli Air Force General Eshel has stated that a surprise war can come about through many scenarios as the Syrian conflict can escalate very quickly. He also announced the Assad government has invested billions of dollars in buying the best weapon systems Russia can offer. Eshel also said this gives Assad greater belligerence. Another ominous sign for Israel.
Last Thursday President Obama announced the United States will limit the use of Drone strikes against extremists abroad. He stated there will only be drone strikes when a threat is imminent and it is almost certain civilians will not be affected. Reaction in Israel is they now feel alone in fighting terror. Another ominous sign for Israel.
History reveals Israel's God has helped them win many wars against overwhelming odds and we now petition Him, who is Master and King over all, to again be there for them.
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care This Day And Every Day,
Frank
