Syria Says Israel Attacked Targets Near Damascus....Again

For those of us who are watching the Isiah 17 prophecy come into light....here is another foreshadowing.

Syria: Israel Attacked Air Base Near Damascus

According to the Syrian news agency SANA, on Friday morning Israeli planes attacked the Mezzeh military airport southwest of the capital Damascus. SANA cited the Syrian army, who said a cluster of missiles had been shot after midnight from the direction of the Kinneret, which hit the vicinity of the airport. It did not report whether or not there were casualties. The army warned Israel it plans to retaliate. This is the third such attack in recent months.

According to AP, Damascus residents reported hearing a number of explosions that shook the city.

SANA suggested the attack used the new F-35 attack planes Israel has just received from the US.

The Syrian army accused Israel of helping assisting “terrorist groups” who fight the Syrian government, saying “the Syrian army command and armed forces warn the Israeli enemy of the repercussions of this blatant attack and stresses it will continue its war on terrorism.”

The IDF declined to comment, but the understanding in Israeli media is that the succession of IAF strikes in various areas in Syria over the past few years is intended to prevent advanced Russian- and Iranian-made weapons systems from making it into the hands of the Hezbollah terrorist group which supports the Assad regime.

The Bible says that one day Damascus will be a heap of ruins and that men won't inhabit it anymore.

What if some terrorists decided to launch some chemical weapons from Damascus into Israel and Israel responded with a nuclear attack to stop the carnage?

Would that qualify?

I'm reminded of a post I did 5-6 years ago where a General from the IDF said something like, "If we even find one dead dog in Northern Israel and determine it came from chemical weapons launched from Syria....they will be done."
