Iranian Hezbollah Poised for Large-Scale Attack on Israel…...
July 24, 2020
The Iranian terror group Hezbollah is laying the groundwork for a large-scale attack on Israel’s northern border, according to new warnings from a former member of the Israel Defence Forces' Intelligence Corps.
Hezbollah forces have been building complex tunnels and amassing arms along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon in recent months, generating concerns the Iranian-backed terror group is planning a large-scale attack reminiscent of its 2006 cross-border raid that resulted in the deaths of three Israeli soldiers and the capture of two others.
The militant group is consolidating its forces and conducting movements reminiscent of the lead-up to that 2006 attack, according to former IDF intelligence officer Sarit Zehavi, who spent 15 years in the Israeli military.
Zehavi briefed reporters on the developing situation on Wednesday during a call hosted by Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Despite the Coronavirus so-called pandemic, which has hit the Middle East particularly hard, both Iran and its affiliates in Hezbollah have communicated a growing desire to strike Israel.
A series of mysterious explosions across Iran targeting its military and nuclear infrastructure have exacerbated tensions with Israel, which Tehran suspects of conducting the recent attacks.
Syrian Sky on Fire: a New Stage in the Armed Confrontation Between Iran and Israel......
July 24, 2020
July 24, 2020
Blazing skies over South Damascus….
It has become very crowded in the sky over Syria!
Iran, under an agreement signed two weeks ago, is supplying there its air defence system Bavar-373 air defense [it is believed that this is an analogue version of the Russian S-300] and Khordad-3, which recently shot down an American reconnaissance UAV in the Persian Gulf.
It is clear that in response to this, Israel will increase the number of flights, trying not to concede the Syrian sky to its rival.
Turkey has also decided to patrol its border with Syria with its Karagez (Black-eyed) series airships, capable of monitoring an area of about eight square kilometres.
Then there is the Russian Aerospace Forces and Air Defence – they are able to control everything up and down in the Syrian region.
And then there is the Syrian military aircraft.
In general, one should have expected that Israel would react very nervously to the agreement on military-technical cooperation signed by Iran with Syria.
In principle, this is what happened. Yesterday’s missile strike by Israeli aircraft from the Golan Heights is proof of this.
They beat on the southern suburbs of Damascus, [pictured above] where, according to some sources, there are barracks where Iranian advisers live – engineers and weapons depots of pro-Iranian groups fighting in the south of Idlib against terrorist organizations that have settled in the area.
According to some reports, about 5-7 people were killed and wounded.
Most likely, the Israeli aviation had data that it was there that Iranian air defence systems began to arrive, which Tehran promised to generously share with Damascus.
The activation of the Israeli aviation, in theory, can spur the Syrians and Iranians, and then the speed and volume of deliveries of the Bavar-373 and Khordad-3 air defense systems could increase significantly.
On the other hand, judging by some sources, this time Israel did not use military fighters for the missile strike (more and more often fifth-generation F-16 fighters flew on missions), but helicopters.
Apparently, they decided to use the surprise factor, so that the anti-aircraft gunners, in theory, should have been expecting jet fighters.
In any case, Iranian and Syrian news sources report that the vast majority of the missiles launched by the Israelis were shot down.
Tel Aviv and Western mass media claim the opposite – they say, none of the launched missiles was shot down. As usual, a military clash immediately turned into an information war.
Be that as it may, one should expect that the parties will indeed begin to increasingly actively resort to both aviation (on the one hand) and air defence systems (on the other).
Russia has not yet intervened in this showdown. The Russian Aerospace Forces fight exclusively against terrorist groups, and the air defence defends its military bases.
Developing rapidly…..
Israeli Army Strikes Syrian Military Targets near Golan Heights…..
25 July 2020
25 July 2020
The Israeli army said it struck Syrian military targets near the Golan Heights late Friday after munitions were fired from Syria earlier in the day.
"Earlier today, munitions were fired from Syria toward Israel. In response, our aircraft struck military targets in southern Syria belonging to the Syrian Armed Forces," the Israeli army said on its official Twitter account.
Syria TV reported a loud explosion on the outskirts of Quneitra.
Under the terms of a 1974 UN armistice that demilitarised much of the Golan, Israel withdrew from the abandoned capital of Quneitra province which it had razed to the ground after capturing it in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. [pictured above]
The destroyed town had fallen into rebel hands in 2014 before Assad-regime forces regained its hold on the Syrian sector of the Golan Heights.
The area is considered strategic territory bordering Jordan and Israel.
Following the Israeli airstrikes on Friday, the Israeli military said it would "hold the Syrian regime responsible & will respond to any violation of Israeli sovereignty."
Israel and the China-Iranian alliance……….
July 17, 2020
July 17, 2020
In the midst of the global recession caused by China's export of the Coronavirus, the preposterous has become reality.
When Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Teheran in 2016, most observers dismissed the significance of the move.
The notion that Beijing would wreck its relations with America, the largest economy and most powerful global superpower, in favour of an alliance with Iran, the world's greatest state sponsor of terrorism was, on its face, preposterous.
But despite the ridiculousness of the idea, concern grew about Sino-Iranian ties as Iranian political leaders and military commanders beat a path to China's door.
Following weeks of feverish rumours, Iran and China have concluded a strategic accord. Last weekend, The New York Times reported on the contents of a final draft of the agreement.
In its opening line, China and Iran describe themselves as "two ancient Asian cultures, two partners in the sectors of trade, economy, politics, culture, and security with a similar outlook and many mutual bilateral and multilateral interests."
Henceforth, they, "will consider one another strategic partners." And creepy Joe Biden doesn't seem to mind at all! After all he and Obama sent them a planeload of US dollars not all that long ago?
Substantively, the deal involves Iran supplying China with oil at below-market prices for the next 25 years and China investing $400 billion in Iran over the same period.
China also committed to expanding its presence in the Iranian banking and telecommunication sectors.
Among dozens of infrastructure projects, China will construct and operate ports and train lines. China will integrate Iran into its 5G internet network and its GPS system.
Welcome Chairman Xi, to the writings of Ezekiel?
Another Group of Ethiopian Immigrants Lands in Israel Thursday Morning….

24 July 2020
Thirty-four immigrants are third group to come since Coronavirus struck….
A group of 34 immigrants from Ethiopia landed in Israel early Thursday morning, the third group to arrive since the start of the Coronavirus outbreak.
Like other immigrants landing in the country, these new arrivals will be put into quarantine for 14 days immediately upon arrival.
About 8,000 Falashmura – descendants of the Ethiopian Jewish community forced to convert to Christianity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries – still remain in Africa.
Three weeks before Israel’s last Knesset election on March 2, the cabinet approved plans to bring 400 Falashmura to the country in subsequent months.
Many members of the community have family in Israel.
Russia Conducted anti-Satellite Test in Space, says US Space Command…..
July 24, 2020
July 24, 2020
WASHINGTON — U.S. Space Command says that Russia tested an anti-satellite weapon in orbit July 15, continuing a series of aggressive actions that nation has taken in space.
According to a July 23 SPACECOM statement, the Russian satellite Cosmos 2543 released another object into space in proximity to another Russian satellite, an action inconsistent with its stated purpose.
U.S. officials have suggested in the past that such an object could be used as a high-speed projectile weapon to attack other satellites.
"The Russian satellite system used to conduct this in-orbit weapons test is the same satellite system that we raised concerns about earlier this year, when Russia manoeuvred near a U.S. government satellite," said General John "Jay" Raymond, SPACECOM Commander and U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations.
"This is further evidence of Russia's continuing efforts to develop and test space-based systems, and consistent with the Kremlin's published military doctrine to employ weapons that hold U.S. and allied space assets at risk."
Conflicting Reports of Near-Collision between Iranian airliner and US Fighter Jets….
July 24, 2020
July 24, 2020
Iran claimed US F-15s “harassed” its passenger plane over Syria on Thursday, July 23, before it managed to land in Beirut.
A US official said the fighter jets passed by the Iranian airliner, but at a safe distance.
Tehran originally blamed Israel for the incident, but later Iranian state TV quoted the pilot of the Iranian plane as saying the fighter jets’ pilots had identified themselves as American over radio communication.
A Lebanese airport official said the flight, Mahan Air Flight 1152, landed without further incident in Beirut on Thursday evening.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, had no further details.
Syrian state media quoted unidentified civil aviation officials in Damascus as saying that two jets, suspected of belonging to the US-led coalition, “intercepted” an Iranian passenger plane over al-Tanf, in southwestern Syria on the borders with Iraq and Jordan, where the US has since 2016 maintained a garrison around which it declared a de-confliction zone.
Outside its boundary, are Syrian and pro-Iranian forces.
The pilot quickly changed altitude to avoid a collision, flying low to avoid a collision with the jets, and causing slight injuries among some of the passengers.
US sources note that Mahan Air has long been accused by the US and Israel of freighting illegal Iranian weapons to its Shiite militias in Syria. Hence the close “visual inspection” by the US jets. The airline itself is under US sanction since 2011 for providing the Revolutionary Guards with financial and other support.

The critical September–November Period……….
There is no doubt Donald Trump has been used by God in a significant way.
He has had much favour with God, but as previously shared, from the time the Trump Peace to Prosperity plan was delivered on January 28, the favour has departed.
He has faced one challenge after another since taking office and has handled the extreme pressure extraordinarily well.
The approaching September–November period will become one of the most serious and divisive times in history.
The Democrats, their media, and social networks will attempt to do everything in their power to defeat Trump.
God is certainly not finished with President Trump, Vice President Pence or Secretary of State Pompeo. Our prayers are crucial.
We are praying that President Trump via Jared Kushner will completely drop his peace plan and then fully endorse the San Remo Resolution.
We pray that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will endorse the San Remo Resolution too during this time of enormous, personal legal challenges, political and economic crisis confronting Israel.
Truth doesn’t matter for liberal media…….
Occasionally, Fox News will show video clips of some of the commentators’ remarks on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC and CBS, and one sits in disbelief of what they are saying, their bizarre statements, the failure to connect the dots.
Their distortion of truth. They have an agenda, and truth doesn’t matter to them.
Some of their comments are even delusional.
Their comments and thinking continues to give us weekly examples of Isaiah 5:20. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Forced vaccine worries
Could we be forced to take a Coronavirus vaccine?
What if we aren’t allowed renewed driver’s licenses or passports or allowed in another country unless we can show we have received the approved Coronavirus vaccine?
These are a few examples of what could be forced on the public.
If Democrats gain control of Congress and the White House, this could be more possible.
New York passed a law last year that says religious rights cannot be used as a reason for a person not to take a vaccine.
Dallas-based Southwest warned that air travel won’t recover until a COVID-19 vaccine or therapy is developed.
American Airlines CEO Doug Parker [pictured above] said the same thing.
My long-time friend Tom Eudaly, who authored “How DNA manipulation is upon us” in our May 29 weekly report, said this:
“My concerns of a vaccine type of biological administration could be a sky-is-the-limit for a secular government, the United Nations or some giant multinational private enterprise with dreams of a utopia or world dominance. Under the guise of an officially authorized ‘vaccination,’ DNA could be altered to make people more obedient or passive, intelligent, talented, subservient, etc.”
Washington Free Beacon journalist Matthew Continetti: “Trump running against the Coronavirus, not against Biden”.
Matthew made his statement on Fox’s Tucker Carlson’s program Thursday night.
Unfortunately, he may be right without a miracle.
The mainstream media with their social networks will attempt to make the Coronavirus the big issue. President Trump will be blamed for not doing enough.
The northern autumn flu season combined with the continued COVID-19 pandemic will further exacerbate the problem.
I pray that Joe Biden will further prove his failing mental health prior to the election, which would hurt his vote outcome. We are also hopeful that Biden will select a weak running mate.
Joe Biden has a lot of blood on his hands for his years of being a pro-abortion US Senator and member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and his active role in the support of the LGBT agenda and same-sex marriage while vice president.
Biden needs to repent for his years of endorsing sin.
Biden said this recently: “I wish we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith.”
Could Blue state school closing agenda lead to voting by mail?
The red states want schools to be opened in the Autumn while the blue states want schools to go fully virtual.
They join the Atlanta, Los Angeles and San Diego school districts, who will also be going virtual in the Autumn. More major blue-state city school districts are considering the same.
The Democratic leaders in these states and other blue states will now likely move towards vote by mail.
This would be a disaster with the Democrats using their media and the social networks to get out the vote and provide opportunities for them to cheat.
With the probability of this, knowing the outcome of the 2020 presidential election could be delayed by weeks and perhaps months instead of knowing the results that night or early the next morning, as has been the norm.
It could also lead to lawsuits and legal challenges, further delaying outcomes.
Putting Coronavirus in Perspective: Low Totals in South-east Asia versus High US Totals……
25 July 2020
Unfortunately, this bio-engineered virus is very contagious. The United States is recording between 65,000–70,000 new cases a day and just passed the 4 million level since the beginning.
25 July 2020
Unfortunately, this bio-engineered virus is very contagious. The United States is recording between 65,000–70,000 new cases a day and just passed the 4 million level since the beginning.
There is some doubt of the daily total accuracy; regardless, the numbers are substantial.
The best indicators are the hospitalisation, ICU and death records. The statistics the governors of Florida, Texas and Arizona provide will show you how serious the cases are.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said he doesn’t believe coronavirus will ever be eradicated — given how quickly the contagion spreads among humans.
“I don’t see this disappearing the way SARS 1 did,” Fauci said Wednesday at a livestreamed event hosted by TB Alliance, a nonprofit that researches treatments for tuberculosis.
We have watched over the past few months as Hong Kong, China, Japan and South Korea immediately shut down areas having around 70–100 new coronavirus cases.
Japan even called for a lock-down of Tokyo over a breakout of 64 cases a few months ago.
That says a lot about how serious they take COVID-19. Also, their citizens are more compliant. It is much more challenging here in the United States and Israel for many reasons.
Meanwhile, in China restaurants and malls are open, but to enter, customers have to activate a health code on their smartphones.
The code tracks their movements and determines whether they have been to any risky places.
Only those with green codes are allowed in. Many offices insist on green codes, too. A red code, or even an amber one, is the scarlet letter of 2020.
U.S. Economy’s Recovery is Stalling, and it Could get even Worse……...
July 25, 2020
July 25, 2020
Despite assurances from the Trump administration that better times are at hand, the worsening pandemic is restraining or even snuffing out the economy’s nascent recovery.
From restaurant dining to air travel and now to filings for unemployment benefits, a growing body of evidence indicates America’s rebound from the pandemic is stalling days before hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of federal aid is set to expire.
Lawmakers may eventually iron out an agreement on a new stimulus package, but for now they remain far apart on many of the key details.
Whether the talks are ultimately successful or not, one thing is now crystal clear:
Until a vaccine or effective treatment for Covid-19 is available, the world’s largest economy will at best post tepid, uneven growth and, at worst, endure an extended period of malaise or even a depression.
