Russian ambassador to Damascus, Alexander Yevimov, warned on Monday, February 10 that Israeli raids “are provocative and very dangerous for the situation in Syria.” He charged:
“The rockets are falling not only in the areas bordering Israel, but also reaching areas deep in Syria, in the eastern part and even in residential areas in Damascus. It is regrettable,” said the Russian ambassador, “that civilians become victims of these raids.”
Yevimov repeated the Russian Defence Ministry’s earlier charge on February 7 that a purported Israeli air strike near Damascus a day earlier had endangered a civilian flight with 172 passengers aboard that was trying to land at Damascus airport. That flight found itself the target of Syrian air defence rockets aimed at the Israeli raiders, the ministry alleged.
The diplomat concluded, “In addition to the clear violation of Syrian sovereignty and the real threat to the lives of innocent people, all of this increases the possibility of a conflict with Syria and runs counter to efforts to achieve stability and a political settlement.”
Moscow was warning Israel for the second time in three days to desist from its rocket and air strikes over Syria.
Our military sources report: Russian forces in Syria are in the throes of a heavy air force operation against Syrian rebel positions in Idlib, the last province still out of the Assad regime’s control.
The air raids mainly target the strongest rebel group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham for the purpose of facilitating the Syria army’s advance in its critical campaign to recover the province.
The Russians were issuing a strong warning to Israel to back off any action that may impede the Syrian push in Idlib and, moreover, if the situation descended into a clash with Syria, to make no mistake about which side Moscow supports.
Erdogan is about to declare war against Syria fulfilling Jeremiah 49:23.........

Hostilities and war rhetoric have been escalating in Syria.
Idlib Province is the last bastion of anti-government rebel groups in Syria. Syrian President Assad has vowed to bring all of Idlib Province back under regime control.
Lately the Syrian Army has been making gains in Idlib. Turkey is the major supporter of these typically Al-Qaeda rebel groups in Idlib.
The Turkish Army has established thirteen military outposts in Idlib which puts them in the midst of the fighting between the Syrian Army and Al-Qaeda. On February 3, 2020 the Syrian Army and the Turkish Army exchanged shelling killing soldiers on both sides.
This is the first time that these two nations have been in direct conflict during the Syrian war.
Since this skirmish Turkey has threatened full scale military action against the Syrian Army in Idlib. “Turkey may launch a military operation in Syria’s northwestern Idlib region unless fighting there is quickly halted”, said Turkish President Erdogan.
Erdogan has also criticized Russia for providing air-support for the Syrian Army. Turkey has sent several large military convoys into Idlib this week containing troops and tanks and heavy weapons.
The Syrian Army is fighting from it’s base of operations in the government controlled Hamah Province.
If and when Turkey declares war against the Syrian Army we shouldn’t expect the fighting to be confined to Idlib.
Turkish President Erdogan told his citizens this week that the Turkish Army will move freely around Syria. Erdogan said that Turkey will push the Syrian Army back completely out of Idlib Province and then back further into Hamah Province to previously agreed upon safe zone boundaries.
This will require an all out Turkish offensive considering the fact that the Syrian Army has regained control over several Idlib towns. This will also require Russian consent or at least passivity.
So far Russia has remained passive regarding the Turkish and Syrian skirmish. Russia can’t afford to offend Turkey with whom they have made recent major energy and defence deals with.
US President Trump has shown his support for Turkey when it comes to defending Idlib and when it comes to ousting Assad from power in Damascus. So I wouldn’t expect to see anybody try to stop Turkey.
Turkey is preparing for a major offensive against the Syrian Army. President Erdogan is already disclosing his intentions to fight outside of Idlib. If Erdogan declares war against Syria he would [possibly] be fulfilling this Bible verse;
Jeremiah 49:23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
Jeremiah 49:23-27 describes a Turkish assault on north-western Syria and the subsequent destruction of Damascus.
When Hamah hears about this coming invasion then the residents of Damascus will flee. Turkey will push the Syrian Army all the way to Damascus.
The very real fulfilment of Bible prophecy is a hair breadth away. It is High Time to Awake!
