Israel and Syria Exchange Fire

For anyone how has been watching Psalm 83 this headline news should make you sit up and take notice.

TEL AVIV — After months of fire, Israel has responded to attacks
from Syria.


In the first such operation since the 1973 war, the Israel Army fired a
precision-guided anti-tank missile toward a Syrian Army position in the
Golan Heights. The Israeli fire on Nov. 11 came after numerous incidents of
fire toward Israeli positions.


Over the last month, Israel reported several Syrian Army violations of
the Golan Heights demilitarization zone. In November, the violations
included the entry of three Syrian Army main battle tanks, a mortar landing
near an Israeli community and light arms fire on an Israeli border patrol.


“The message has certainly been relayed,” Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said.

Officials said the Israeli military was bracing for intensified fire
from Syria. They said communities in the Golan Heights have been ordered to prepare shelters for the prospect of Syrian shelling.


“There were several cases in which single rockets fired from Syria
landed in Israel,” Barak said. “I ordered the Israel Defense Forces to
retaliate if this reoccurs.”


"This is a Syrian issue that could become our issue,” Israeli Chief of
Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz said.

Those who have been watching Psalm 83 and Isaiah 17 and Amos know that this escalation could become quite serious.
