The Islamic Republic of Iran has been preparing for jihadi war against Israel and the West for many years. It has structured a Shi’ite crescent of terror, all facing the Jewish state and strategizing for its destruction. These armies include Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria, Kata’eb Hezbollah in Iraq, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in Iran, the Houthis in Yemen, and both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Sunni jihadi terror groups) in Gaza.
Hezbollah has been stocking up on over 150,000 rockets (some with GPS accuracy) and cruise missiles, all aimed at Israel.
Over the past six weeks, the IDF and IAF have been systematically removing rocket launchers, cruise missiles, rockets of all kinds from southern Lebanon. The top brass of Hezbollah likewise have been taken out by IAF bombs.
In the past two weeks, Israel’s Mossad and Military Intelligence pre-positioned explosive materials in new orders of beepers for Hezbollah, as well as in walkie-talkies used exclusively by the organization. These were then blown up in two salvoes over two days, crippling up to 4,000 Hezbollah terrorists within minutes, across Lebanon. Many jihadis were blinded, lost limbs and were otherwise taken out of commission. Over 30 were killed. It is important to remember that only Hezbollah operatives possessed those beepers and walkie-talkies, though some Iranian diplomats and terrorist leaders also were decommissioned through these explosives.
Hezbollah issued orders that all jihadi operatives were to immediately ditch any remaining beepers and walkie-talkies – leaving these terrorists in the dark, unable to receive battle orders. Iran also forbade its operatives from using these appliances. The Shi’ite terror army was now in the dark
Destroying master terrorists
Hezbollah’s ‘Pentagon’ is an area in south Beirut, Dahieh. Its command-and-control center is there, five stories deep and heavily reinforced with steel and concrete. Hezbollah’s leader for 32 years, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, has been hiding there in underground bunkers for a number of years. Above this nerve-center are the human shields – apartments for Hezbollah operatives and their families.
On Friday September 27, over 20 IAF jets laid down over 80 one-ton bombs on Hezbollah’s HQ, each one just a few seconds apart. The entire structure down to it foundations was obliterated. Nasrallah was instantly killed, as were eight of nine most senior military Hezbollah commanders – including IRGC’s top deputy commander.
Over these past six weeks, Israel has eliminated as many terrorists on the US list of wanted terrorists as America has managed to do in the last 20 years. But both the US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and the POTUS have expressed extreme displeasure publicly or privately with Israel’s stunning successes here. French President Macron condemned Israel for taking out arch-terrorist Ibrahim Aqil, responsible for murdering over 60 French paratroopers in 1983’s Beirut. We live in bracing days.
The straw that broke Israel’s back
Since Hamas’ mass pogrom on October 7, 2023 – its mass rapes, torture, atrocities of murder and kidnapping – Hezbollah has been attacking Israel ‘in solidarity’ with Gaza. They have fired nearly 9,000 rockets at Israeli civilians in northern Israel, killing 48 Israelis. Between 63,000 and 80,000 Israelis have fled their homes and are currently refugees in their own country. Over 325 Israelis have been injured. Over 1,400 buildings and homes have been damaged or destroyed. This has been going on for close to 12 months – a full year. And Hezbollah is a member in good standing of Lebanon’s Parliament, with the country’s leaders supporting Hezbollah in its attacks on Israel.
Israel had warned Hezbollah that, if the area surrounding Haifa or south of that would be targeted by Shi’ite rockets, the IDF would begin to attack Hezbollah’s more precious assets, possibly even attacking Lebanon’s infrastructures of water, electricity, sewage networks, airports and bridges – actions which force Lebanon to reign in and muzzle Hezbollah.
On Wednesday September 25, Hezbollah fired a heavy missile at Israel’s intelligence center, where both the Mossad and SIGINT Unit 8200 are located. This was the equivalent of Osama bin-Laden’s 9/11 attack on the US Pentagon. Other jihad rockets began to rain down on civilian areas of Haifa and even further south.
Israeli escalation was soon coming. Within two days, Hassan Nasrallah and his High Command were no more. And a new stage in the war was now on its way.
The guns of Autumn
Over the past few hours, the IDF has declared three Israeli areas in the Finger of Galilee (Metulla, Kfar Giladi and Misgav Am) to be closed military areas. Beirut’s Dahieh region has been given time-sensitive evacuation orders by the IDF regarding certain buildings. Arab media is reporting IAF bombing attacks in this Hezbollah stronghold, as well as the bombing of Hezbollah fortresses in Tyre, on the Mediterranean.
According to Saudi, American and British reports, IDF artillery are shelling Hezbollah strongholds, tunnels and rocket depots in southern Lebanon. According to these same foreign reports, Merkava tanks have crossed the Blue Line and are maneuvering in Lebanese villages, forcing jihadis north, past the Litani River and eventually perhaps even further.
This is a rapidly forward-rolling operation right now on Lebanese soil. In due time the IDF will release official statements, so it is foreign non-Israeli sources which are the main source of information.
How should we then pray?
- Pray for revelatory strategies to be given to Israel’s leaders about how to defeat and remove jihadi terror forces from south Lebanon, as well as from any area in Lebanon that can be used to attack the Jewish state
- Pray that angelic armies guide and protect the Israeli armed forces to a successful outcome with minimal loss of life.
- Pray for the physical protection of Israel’s and Lebanon’s civilian population in these upcoming clashes
- Pray for a decisive victory over Hezbollah in Lebanon, and over Iran’s terror masterminds
- Pray for the raising up of Ezekiel’s prophetic Jewish army throughout the earth
Your prayers and support hold up our arms and are the very practical enablement of God to us in the work He has called us to do.
In Messiah Yeshua,
Avner Boskey
