Getting ready for an outward Attack from within Israel in a Future Jihad!
November 9, 2006
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
More than four years ago, in Archive Prophecy Update Number 89A, I warned of the rapid buildup of missilery by Hizbollah,
which was later used partially in this year’s northern conflict with Hizbollah. Now, once again, Iran and Syria have restocked the depleted missilery reserves in Lebanon, and are doing the same thing for Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
When we first began this web site some five years ago, I indicated the final Jihad style attack would be from the north against Israel out of Lebanon and Syria by a coalition of 10 Arab nations in agreement, composed of a greater degree of troops from Syria, Lebanon, Hizbollah, Iran and Iraq.
At the same time the attack is launched from the north, there will be a circular outward attack against Israel from within the West Bank by the Palestinian forces of Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades, and other anti-Israel radical groups.
The same amalgamation of Palestinian type groups will attack north, northeast, and east out of the Gaza Strip.
One of the reasons this Jihad has not yet been launched is the presence of Allied troops in Iraq. The election results of this week have made it clear that the last of our troops will have been pulled out of Iraq sooner than if the Republicans had maintained control of Congress.
With the presidential elections scheduled for 2008, my guesstimate for the attack to occur at some point in time between 2008 and 2012 seems reasonable.

IDF: Hamas steps up production of Qassam rockets in Gaza Strip

Senior Israel Defense Forces officers believe that Hamas has managed to overcome the technological barrier that has so far prevented it from stockpiling a large number of Qassam rockets.
According to the officers, the group succeeded in expediting its production of rockets in an effort to create a new level of deterrence vis-a-vis Israel in the Gaza Strip.
IDF forces pulled out of the town of Beit Hanun yesterday, but in fighting in other parts of the northern Gaza Strip, seven Palestinians were killed. Within several hours of the end of “Operation Autumn Clouds” there, four Qassams struck Ashkelon.
To date Hamas has been unsuccessful at solving the problem of storing Qassam rockets for long periods of time without their becoming ineffective.
The fact that the rockets became unusable so quickly necessitated a nearly immediate and constant launch of the weapons, and prevented the group from accumulating a “critical mass” of the rockets.
Senior officers say that now, with the smuggling into Gaza of large quantities of military-grade explosives, Hamas seems to have managed to breach the technological barrier it was facing. It also appears that the militant organization has stepped up production of the missiles.
The accumulation of thousands of rockets over time will allow the organization, at a time of its choosing, to initiate a major and enduring bombardment of Sderot and other towns in the western Negev, just like Hezbollah did by targeting the Galilee during the war in Lebanon this summer.
At Southern Command, the results of the operation in Beit Hanun are considered to be positive. During the past week, some 60 Palestinians were killed in IDF operations; according to an examination by Haaretz, they included 18 civili
ans.
A senior officer told Haaretz last night that ” the operations in
the Gaza Strip will have to take on a different character in the future, similar to what we did in Beit Hanun.
It is no longer possible to chase after a single Qassam – and we had no illusions that the operation would bring to an end the rocket attacks forever. The point is that we need to bring them under constant pressure and establish deterrence, so that they will be less inclined to launch [rockets].
“The fact that Hamas is now looking desperately for a solution to bring an end to the abduction of Corporal Gilad Shalit proves that the pressure we place on them is working,” he added.
The same officer said that he believed the IDF will continue its offensive operations in the Gaza Strip, using varying levels of force.
“However,” he said, “in the future we will be involved in more dramatic missions. One way or another we will have to deal with the strengthening of Hamas.”
The Qassam rockets that hit Ashkelon yesterday were of an improved model, capable of reaching targets 21 kilometers away.
Two landed in the city and two in the southern industrial zone.
No casualties were reported.

SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 89A

Storing Weaponry for a Future Surprise Islamic Jihad Blitzkrieg
See Prophecy Updates 74D, 79D, 83G, and 85A
According to senior Israeli and Western officials, the Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon have already amassed thousands of missiles of the surface to surface variety, and among them those that can strike at major cities in northern Israel. And, even more alarming, they are continuing to flow into southern Lebanon at an alarming rate. I believe they are for a future surprise Jihad after a false peace has finally come to Israel, and are being stored primarily for that purpose.
Most of Hezbollah’s rockets have been provided by Iran, being flown to the Syrian capital, Damascus, then driven by truck to southern Lebanon, but Syria has recently begun to send rockets of its own, and the missile buildup effort has intensified in the last year. Hezbollah has occasionally launched a few rockets against Israeli military targets just across the border this year, primarily to keep the pressure on Israel while avoiding a major military confrontation with it. They know that Israel does not want to open up a second front while combating internal terrorist groups and waiting for a possible U.S. strike against Iraq.
Hezbollah has accumulated 8,000 to 9,000 smaller Katyusha rockets, which have a range of up to 12 miles. According to Israeli and Western officials. But over the past year Iran has begun to provide them with a variety of longer range systems, including the 240mm Fajre-3 missile, which has a range of some 24 miles, and the 333mm Fajr missile, which has a range of some 42 miles, making it capable of striking the northern Israeli port city of Haifa, and all the Israeli cities in Galilee. Hezbollah also has several hundred Fajr rockets. Additionally, Syria has begun to provide them with 222mm rockets that have a range of up to 18 miles.
I believe that the bulk of all this weaponry, which is continuing to be brought into Lebanon, will eventually be used against Israel after a false period of peace. (See Prophecy Updates 74D, 79D, 83G, and 85A)

With the Democratic gains in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, there seems little doubt that American troop withdrawal from Iraq will be much sooner than if Republicans had maintained control. The sooner American troops are pulled out, the more likely a 10 Arab nation Jihad becomes against Israel. So, in short, things are still looking good for the Jihad war against Israel to begin at some point in time between 2008 and 2012. Welcome Mrs. Clinton, to an event filled term, during which the last three and one-half years of tribulation will likely begin!
