No full blown Middle East War as long as US Troops are in Middle East!
Clashes – Yes, Lots of Saber Rattling – Yes, ALL out Middle War – No!
The Activity Along Israel’s Northern Border is to Observe IDF Actions
To prepare plans for what to do when the IDF actual moves North
To start the full blown Middle East war of Daniel 11:45 to 12:1,
Which I Believe shall Begin Prior to 2015, But NOT this Year!

Daniel 11:40 to 12:1 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. [42] He shall stretch forth his hand also up on
the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. [43] But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and
the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. [44] But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. [45] And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. [1] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one
that shall be found written in the book.

Timeline: From the 2nd Lebanon War onwards

Clashes along the northern border since 2006.
Tuesday’s exchanges of fire between Israeli and Lebanese forces serve as a reminder of the volatile situation on the northern border.
• In August 2006, war broke out between Hizbullah and Israel after two IDF soldiers were kidnapped. UN Resolution 1701, which brought an end to the war, dem
anded a complete cessation of hostilities. Since then, however, there have been several clashes between the two countries.
• In February 2007, a gunfire exchange took place between the IDF and the Lebanese Armed Forces. The LAF opened fire without provocation on Israeli soldiers operating inside Israel to which it responded by firing two tank shells over the border.
There were no injuries on either side.
• In June 2007, a Islamic terror group called “Jihadi Badr Brigades” fired two rockets from Lebanon into northern Israel, also causing no casualties.
• After a year of relative calm, attacks resumed in January 2009 when three Katyusha rockets were fired from southern Lebanon, wounding two people and causing severe damage. Israel responded by firing five shells into Lebanese territory. In the same week, more rockets were fired by Hizbullah into the town of Kiryat Shmona, causing no injuries.
• In February 2009, two rockets were fired from the Lebanese coastal town of Naqoura into northern Israel, causing one injury. Israel responded by firing some six artillery shells at the launch area, causing no injuries.
• In September 2009, two rockets fired from Lebanon struck Nahariya and Kibbutz Gesher Hazir, sparking panic and forcing schools to be evacuated. In response, the IDF fired twelve artillery shells at
the area from which the rockets were launched.
• A month later, another Katyusha rocket was fired from the Lebanese town of Hula into northern Israel, causing a fire near Kiryat Shmona. Israel responded with artillery fire causing no injury or damage.

‘IDF soldiers did not cross border’

Netanyahu, Barak issue strong reactions to events
The IDF released an aerial photograph Tuesday night, showing that the IDF soldiers involved in deadly clashes with Lebanese forces on Tuesday were standing in Israeli territory when they were fired upon, and did not cross the Lebanese border. This inform ation w
as also reportedly confirmed by a UNIFIL representative.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak responded Tuesday to news of the fatal northern border clashes in which an IDF soldier and 4 Lebanese were killed.
“I hold the Lebanese government directly responsible for this provocation,” Netanyahu said.
He added that Israel would continue to respond with force to any further attempts to violate the ceasefire and disturb the lives of residents of the north and the IDF troops who protect them.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak issued a warning to the Lebanese government, saying that Israel would not tolerate any attacks on citizens or soldiers on its “sovereign territory”, and called on the international community to condemn the “criminal acts of the Lebanese army.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman instructed Israel’s UN representative to submit a complaint UN secretary general and security council, citing a violation of UN Resolution 1701. The complaint was made on the basis that Lebanese forces had opened fire despite the fact that the IDF had given prior warning to UNIFIL of their intention to cross the fence in order to cut down a tree, still within Israeli territory, since the fence does not always exactly parallel the border.
Speaking at a press briefing on Tuesday afternoon, GOC Northern Command Maj.
Gen. Gadi Eizenkot called the incident a “deliberate ambush.”
Reactions to the day’s events also emerged from Lebanese and Syrian leaders, with Syrian President Bashar Assad saying that Syria would stand behind Lebanon and provide any necessary support.
‘Lebanon will respond to every agression’
AFP reported Lebanon’s Supreme Defense Council Secretary General Saeed Eid as saying: “Following consultations, the council ordered the country to respond to every aggression against our land, our military, or our civilians with all the means at our disposal.”
According to Reuters, a US State Department spokesperson said on Tuesday that the United States was in touch with both Israeli and Lebanese governments, and is “extremely concerned” about violence on the border, urging both sides to exercise “maximum restraint.”
Earlier in the day, Kiryat Shmona Mayor Nissim Malcha told Channel 10 that there is no need for northern residents to enter bomb shelters.
“I have alerted all security forces to be ready for any situation,” he said. “I hope that this is an isolated incident.”
Also speaking after the incident, Northern District Commander Major General Shlomo Koron confirmed that no Katushya rockets fell in the area.
Upper Galilee Regional Council Head Aharon Valenzia called on the large number of people enjoying vacations and day trips in the north to continue what they are doing without fear.
Valenzia said that because of the exchange of fire on the northern border his office is in contact with IDF officials in order to provide a response to any possible scenario.
