Daniel 11:40,41 – 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.
Daniel 7:24,25 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from t

Analysis: IDF worried border protests just beginning

Demonstrations and violence in North likely just the promo for what can be expected in September ahead of Palestinian statehood declaration.
On Sunday, it was 1,000 Syrians who marched on the border with Israel.
Next week, it could be 10,000 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip who will march toward the Negev, or Palestinian refugees in Jordan who march toward the Jordan Valley.
The successful infiltration on Sunday by a group of just under 100 Syrians into the Druse village of Majdal Shams on the Golan is being viewed by the IDF as just the beginning.

As demonstrations like these gain momentum ahead of the planned declaration of statehood by the Palestinians in September, this type of protest could become a common occurrence along Israel’s various borders.
On Sunday, the IDF dealt with four simultaneous fronts – Syria, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
While all expectations were for extreme violence in the West Bank – units that were training on the Golan Heights were transferred as reinforcements to the West Bank last week – it turned out to be the quietest of the four.
The surprise was Syria.
While the IDF was aware of the demonstrations that were scheduled for the border area opposite Majdal Shams – known as the “Shouting Hill” since relatives shout to each other across the border – it did not expect it to be any different than in past years.
This was a mistake, since the Northern Command did not take into account the current instability in Syria and embattled President Bashar Assad’s possible interest in turning the spotlight away from his violent crackdown on his own people to Israel.
According to senior IDF officers, Assad’s regime quietly encouraged the demonstrators to infiltrate Israel, possibly with the hope that the IDF would shoot indiscriminately, kill dozens of people and shift the world’s and the Syrian people’s focus from his ruthlessness to Israel.
“Thankfully, this did not happen, thanks to responsible action by commanders on the ground,” one senior IDF officer said.
There is also concern in the IDF that global Jihad groups which operate in Syria will take advantage of the lawlessness on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights – made clear by the demonstrators’ ability to cross into Israel without being stopped by the Syrian military – to attack Israel. Some of these groups are believed to have an arsenal of short-range Katyusha rockets that could be used to fire into Israel.
The protesters who rammed the border appeared to have mostly been Palestinian refugees who live in camps near Damascus. It is difficult to imagine that they could have traveled to the border in such numbers without the regime either approving the demonstration or at the very least turning a blind eye to it.
In the short term, the IDF will need to launch a probe to discover where it went wrong, not just in its assessments but mostly operationally to determine how 100 or so foreign nationals succeeded in breaching a border and entering sovereign Israeli territory. In the long term, the concern within the IDF is that these types of civil disturbances and so-called border protests will become routine.
In Lebanon, for example, they could be used as cover and a way for Hezbollah to reestablish borderline positions, which it has not maintained since the end of the Second Lebanon War almost five years ago.
On Sunday afternoon, Hezbollah operatives openly appeared near the border and evacuated some of the protesters wounded by the Lebanese Armed Forces.
If this happens also in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, it will place a massive burden on the IDF, which is already spread thin along Israel’s various fronts.
This could, however, become something of the norm as the September declaration continues to loom on the horizon; the violence along the Syrian border is likely just the promo for what can be expected later this year.
The IDF’s hands, though, will be tied in its options on how to counter such tactics. It will first need to invest more money in crowd dispersion equipment and technology, and invest time in training troops – not used to such missions – on how to use them.
The primary mission will be to ensure that the number of casualties stays minimal. If it doesn’t and the body count starts to rise, it will be easier for Israel’s detractors to make a case that the ongoing upheaval in the Middle East is really about Israel’s conflict with the Arabs and the Palestinians, and that the real problem is not the leadership in the Arab world but the Jewish state’s continued existence.

PA president says protesters “precious blood will not be wasted”; Hamas calls Nakba Day events “a turning point in the Israeli-Arab conflict”; Hezbollah condemns the “Israeli aggression on unarmed civilians.”
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said in a televised address to mark Nakba Day that those killed in clashes with the IDF on Sunday were martyrs to the Palestinian cause.
“Their precious blood will not be wasted. It was spilt for the sake of our nation’s freedom,” Abbas said.

At least one Syrian national was killed by IDF gunfire when Nakba Day protesters tried to infiltrate Israel’s border on Sunday. In similar clashes along the Lebanese border, conflicting reports spoke of between 3 and 10 people killed, while the IDF said that most and possibly all of the casualties were caused by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). At the same time, scores of Palestinians attacked IDF soldiers at the Kalandiya border crossing between Ramallah and Jerusalem with stones and gasoline bombs. In the Gaza Strip, one Palestinian was killed and at least 80 others were wounded when thousands of Palestinians marched toward IDF troops at the Nahal Oz and Erez border crossings, sources in Gaza City said
A spokesman for Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Sami Abu Zuhri, addressed the events of Nakba Day, calling Sunday “a turning point in the Israeli-Arab conflict” that proved the Palestinian people and Arabs were committed to ending Israeli occupation.
Hezbollah condemned the “Israeli aggression on unarmed civilians in Maroun al-Ras and in the Golan, which constitutes a dangerous violation of human rights,” said Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah who was participating at a pro-Palestinian Nakba Day protest in Maroun al-Ras, Lebanon.
“The resistance movement in Lebanon (Hezbollah) will continue to be an advocate for Palestinian national rights and calls on everyone to stand united in confronting Israeli occupation.”
“What happened today in Maroun al-Ras and in the Golan is an embodiment of the will of the Palestinian people who are committed to the right of return.”

Barak: IDF’s restraint on borders prevented bloodbath

Defense minister tells Channel 2 army successfully defended Israel’s sovereignty against Nakba Day infiltrators on Syrian, Lebanese borders.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Sunday defended the IDF’s use of force against Nakba Day protesters attempting to infiltrate Israel’s Syrian and Lebanese borders, saying the soldiers’ restraint actually saved lives.
“We used protest dispersal methods, but the number of people involved made this difficult.
There comes a moment when there’s no choice but to fire at their legs and it is very good that forces acted with restraint and judgment and we did not have here a ruinous bloodbath.”

Barak said during a Channel 2 interview that “the IDF must defend the state’s sovereignty, and, all told, succeeded in doing so today.”
He added, however, that the fact that infiltrators succeeded in breaking through the border fence and storming Majdal Shams demanded an investigation from which lessons would be learned.
“There were deaths in a few places, and we are sorry for the deaths, but those who tested Israel’s sovereignty and those who sent them and encouraged them are responsible,” Barak said.
The defense minister warned of future incidents of the same kind occurring.
“We are only at the beginning of things and it could be that we will see even more complicated challenges of this kind.”
Barak praised the IDF forces involved in the incidents.
“All in all, the commanders handled this correctly. It is too bad that they got all the way to Majdal Shams, but I refuse to get excited about every event.”
