What Could Occur IF Israel Hits Iran Sites?
Water, Land, Deterrent Warheads, Rockets,
Daniel 11:40, Iran, Syria, Hizbullah, Lebanon,
And Turkey are All a Part of Prophecy Trail Mix,
That will be put together to lead Israel to Advance
Into Lebanon at a point in time twixt 2010 and 2015
To begin the last 1335 days of the Age of the Gent

The intermingling of the ingredients, mentioned in the first two lines of our heading, will be the mixture that leads to the initial attack of the King of the South (Israel) into Southern Lebanon, where he will be shocked by a massive counterattack force behind the King of the North (Syria). There is more than one way for Arab forces in Turkey, Syria. and Lebanon to purposely lead Israel to be the first to launch the ground attack which starts the last 1335 days of the Age of the Gentiles.
I have never been able to make up my mind if Israel will or will not attack Iranian nuclear sites. One of the reasons I chose the time period in which I believed the king of the south (Israel) would launch his initial attack against the king of the north (Syria) would be between 2010 and 2015, involved whether or not Israel went after Iranian nuke sites. When I chose this time frame several years ago, one reason why I began it as early as 2010 was to cover the possibility of a 2010 strike on Iranian nuclear sites. If Israel does hit the sites, all the Sunni majority nations, along with most of the world, will breathe a sign of relief as crocodile tears of grief trickle down their cheeks, as they hypocritically scream out against Israel for her atrocious act.
However, I would expect Hizbullah to launch a barrage of missiles into Israel from the north, which would cause Israel to launch an attack into south Lebanon.
This would result in a massive counterattack by Syria and Turkey, and the last 1335 days of the Age of the Gentiles would be under way. Several men, in whom I have military and political confidence, believe Israel will go after Iran’s nuke sites, so I began my time at 2010. If Israel does not go after the nuke sites, the time period between 2012 and 2015 would be the best time guess for the initial attack.

Lebanon army chief calls for high alert on border
November 21, 2009
JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST
Lebanese Army commander Gen. Jean Kahwaji instructed his troops to raise the level of alert along the border with Israel in preparation for an attack planned by “the Israeli enemy”, London-based Alquds Alarabi reported on Saturday.
In a statement published ahead of Lebanon’s independence day, which will take place on Sunday, the Lebanese military chief called for “greater vigilance” on the border “to counter the planned attacks by the Israeli enemy against the homeland.”
All the available options must be used to address Israel’s violations of the country’s sovereignty “land, sea and air,” Kahwaji said.
He asked the army to stand by the Lebanese people “to support their steadfastness on their land” and stressed Lebanon’s right to the “liberation of its land still under occupation in the Sheba Farms, and the villages of Shuba and Ghajar.”
Kahwaji also urged his troops to “cooperate with the international forces in implementation of Security Council Resolution 1701.”
In a possible allusion to those who cooperate with Israel, Kahwaji urged the military to “make the utmost possible to reassure the citizens to their lives and livelihoods and continue in pursuit of terrorists, criminals and all those who undermine the country’s security.”
“Know that immediate independence can be achieved only by protecting the land and the people, through upholding the banner of state sovereignty over every inch of our national territory,” Kahwaji reportedly concluded.
Last week, a military court in Lebanon sentenced a Lebanese soldier and his wife to death, after the couple were found guilty of spying for Israel, Israel Radio reported.
The court also sentenced the defendant’s sister and her husband, who are reportedly living in Israel, to death.
According to the report, the four were found guilty of contacting Israeli agents in order to assist in case of an Israeli attack on Lebanon.

Iran to hold drills for protecting atom facilities
By Fredrik Dahl and Hashem Kalantari
November 21, 2009
TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran will stage large-scale air defence war games next week to help protect its nuclear facilities against any attack, a senior commander was quoted as saying on Saturday.
Brigadier General Ahmad Mighani also suggested Iran could itself produce an advanced missile defence system which Russia has so far failed to deliver to the Islamic Republic and which Washington and Israel do not want Tehran to have.
Iran believes Russia’s delay in supplying high-grade S-300 missiles was due pressure by Israel, not technical problems as cited by Moscow, Mighani said.
“We are hopeful the Russians would ignore the pressure of the Zionist lobby,” the semi-official Fars News Agency quoted him as saying. Iran refers to Israel as the “Zionist regime.”
The military manoeuvres will begin on Sunday and involve both the elite Revolutionary Guards and the regular armed forces against a hypothetical enemy, Iranian media reported.
The United States and Israel have not ruled out military action if diplomacy fails to resolve the row over Iranian nuclear work that the West suspects is aimed at making bombs.
Iran, which says its nuclear programme is solely to generate electricity, has threatened to hit back at Israel and U.S. bases in the Gulf if it is attacked.
“This week’s air defence manoeuvres will be held with the intention of protecting the country’s nuclear facilities,” Mighani said, Fars reported. He heads the armed forces’ air defence headquarters.
“ZIONISTS’ PRESSURE”
Iran often holds defence exercises and announces advances in military equipment in order to show its readiness to counter any threats over its disputed nuclear programme.
The official IRNA news agency said the exercises would take place in western Iran and that they would be “huge”.
Iranian officials have over the last few weeks voiced growing frustration at Russia’s failure to deliver the S-300.
Moscow, which is under Western pressure to distance itself from Iran over the nuclear dispute, has not followed through on proposals to supply the missiles to the country.
“They have declared technical problems as the underlying reason for this delay, but we think it has been due to the Zionists’ pressure,” Mighani said, according to Fars.
“In various manoeuvres, new and modern missile networks will be used and evaluated, including the advanced S-300 missiles, for which the production capability exists in Iran,” IRNA quoted him as saying, without elaborating.
A senior lawmaker, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, earlier this month
also said Iran would be able to produce the S-300 system itself, appearing to refer to missiles with similar capabilities.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised Russia last month for failing to provide the arms to Iran.
The truck-mounted S-300PMU1, known in the West as the SA-20, can shoot down cruise missiles and aircraft. It can fire at targets up to 150 km (90 miles) away.

Iranians and Saudis Fight a Proxy War in Yemen
Ryan Mauro
(Pajamas Media)
November 21, 2009
Iran is now waging a proxy war against Saudi Arabia and Yemen by supporting a radical sect of Zaydi Shiites described as the Houthis, after the founder of their movement.
A former Houthi official has confirmed that the group is receiving Iranian funding and training from the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force and Hizbullah. He said members of Hizbullah may have been killed in Yemen.
The Iranians are trying to create a Shiite empire extending from Iran through southern Iraq to Syria – where the Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Muslims, are in power – to Lebanon.
If Iran gets nuclear weapons, it is easy to predict where they will go next: Bahrain, whose population is majority Shiite, and Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, which is 75% Shiite and is the location of 90% of the country’s oil.
The Saudis and Yemenis are hoping they can squash the Shiite insurgency, but no matter what success they achieve, they will always be one Iranian decision away from facing a reignited conflict.

Denied Russian S-300 missiles, Iran cannot protect nuclear sites
DEBKAfile Special Report
November 22, 2009, 12:24 AM (GMT+02:00)
Iran launches its huge Modafean-e (Defenders) Aseman-e-Velayat air defense exercise Sunday, Nov. 22, to protect its nuclear sites, after failing to persuade Russia to deliver the linchpin of its air defenses, S-300 missiles. For two weeks, high-ranking Iranian politicians and generals bombarded Moscow to make good on its contract to supply the key weapon, to no avail.
Saturday, Nov. 21, Iran’s air force commander Brig. Gen. Ahmad Mighani spoke at length about the highly sophisticated S-300, without which, DEBKAfile’s military sources say, Iran has no real defense against US and Israeli aerial or missile strikes against its nuclear installations.
Iran will hold its war games in the western and southern regions, which Iran estimates will be selected by the Americans and Israelis for attack, and cover an area of 600,000 sq. km. Iranian warplanes will simulate enemy jets zooming in to strike.
Our sources report that, aside from the Russian-made Tor-M 1 short-range interceptor, Iran’s air defense systems are outdated and pretty useless against US stealth bombers or the Israeli air force’s electronic jamming instruments. Syria likewise lacked the weapons for stopping Israel attack its North-Korean-made nuclear reactor two years ago.
The Iranian air force has nowhere near the capacity to take on US or Israeli air might.
Lacking the crucial S-300, a senior Revolutionary Guards officer was reduced to threatening: “If Israel attacks Iran, Iranian missiles will explode in the heart of Tel Aviv!”
Iranian strategists are trying to make do with four devices:
1. As many nuclear installati ons as possible are being moved to secret subterranean sites – am
ong them most of the research laboratories working on the development of nuclear weapons and missiles.
2. Bogus installations have been planted not far from genuine plants to mislead assailants.
3. Tehran’s most powerful defense is the deterrent strength of its ballistic missiles and the missiles distributed to its Middle East allies, Syria, the Lebanese Hizballah and the Palestinian Hamas.
Therefore, Iran’s first response to attack will not be to attack Israeli population centers as the Revolutionary Guards officer threatened, but to strike the home bases of its air force, missile and radar as well as the Israel-based US military facilities, so that Israeli warplanes will have no facilities to come back to and its missiles are knocked off their launch pads.
4. Iran’s means its air defense war game as a rejoinder for the joint US-Israel Juniper Cobra 10 anti-ballistic exercise which took place for two weeks earlier this month.
Iran’s leaders had to make good on their vow not to leave any American or Israeli military step in the region unanswered, although the anti-air exercise will expose the big hole in
their defenses. Even if every last anti-air measure and device they possess is deployed, Iran’s nuclear facilities will still be susceptible to attack, be they the uranium enrichment center at Natanz, the Isfahan fuel plants in Isfahan, the facilities in northern Tehran, or the reactors going up in Arak opposite the Straits of Hormuz.

Nasrallah re-elected as head of Hezbollah
November 20, 2009
Powerful Lebanese party adopts new manifesto which it will announce in coming days.
BEIRUT – Hassan Nasrallah was re-elected head of Hezbollah on Thursday following a congress that also adopted a new manifesto, which is to be revealed in coming days, the powerful party announced.
Nasrallah, 49, has headed Hezbollah since 1992 when his predecessor, Abbas Moussaoui, was assassinated in an Israeli helicopter raid.
A statement by the party, created in 1982, said Nasrallah would explain the contents of the manifesto at a press conference to be announced soon.
The Hezbollah leader has kept a low public profile to escape illegal Israeli assassination attempts since 2006. His last press conference was held via video link.
The Thursday statement said the new political document adopted at the party congress endorsed modifications in line with changes that have taken place within the party in recent years.
The group has two ministers in the new government formed earlier this month.
The winning alliance headed by Saad Hariri won 71 seats in the 128-member parliament in the election against 57 for the opposition led by Hezbollah.
The Hezbollah opposition had actually secured the majority (52%) of the votes in Lebanon, but could not secure a majority of Parliamentary seats (it won 45%) because of the nature of the sectarian government system in the country.
Hezbollah is the only party that has refused to surrender its weapons following Lebanon’s 1975-1990 civil war on grounds that its arsenal is needed to defend the country against Israeli aggression.
Israel waged a bloody 34-day war on Lebanon in the summer of 2006 after Hezbollah fighters seized two Israeli soldiers in a deadly cross-border raid that aimed to free Lebanese soldiers from Israeli prisons. The bodies of the soldiers were returned in a prisoner swap.
The war claimed the lives of more than 1,200 people in Lebanon, most of them civilians, and more than 160 Israelis, most of them soldiers.
Hezbollah, originally a resistance group formed to counter an Israeli occupation of south Lebanon, had forced the Israeli military out of Lebanon in 2000. Israel, however, continues to occupy the Lebanese Shabaa Farms.
Israeli flights over Lebanon occur on an almost daily basis and are in breach of UN Security Council resolution 1710, which in August 2006 ended the war.
