Israel Shocker! It Was Netanyahu and NOT Obama That Cancelled War Games

This was the first time Israel had ever postponed a joint military exercise; it generated a seismic moment in relations between the US and Israel at a time when Iran has never been so close to producing a nuclear weapon. It was perceived as a mark of Israel’s disapproval for the administration’s apparent hesitancy in going through with the only tough sanctions with any chance of working against Iran’s nuclear weapon program: penalizing its central bank and blocking payments for its petroleum exports.

Joint US-Israel drill called off by Netanyahu, to Washington’s surprise

Debkafile’s sources disclose exclusively that, contrary to recent reports published in Washington, Jerusalem – and this site too – it was Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, not the Obama administration, who decided to call off the biggest ever joint US-Israeli military exercise Austere Challenge 12 scheduled for April 2012.

Israel is slowing starting to come to the understanding that perhaps Obama does not have their best interests at heart

Washington was taken aback by the decision. It was perceived as a mark of Israel’s disapproval for the administration’s apparent hesitancy in going through with the only tough sanctions with any chance of working against Iran’s nuclear weapon program: penalizing its central bank and blocking payments for its petroleum exports.

This was the first time Israel had ever postponed a joint military exercise; it generated a seismic moment in relations between the US and Israel at a time when Iran has never been so close to producing a nuclear weapon.

This week, Netanyahu further orchestrated a series of uncharacteristically critical statements by senior ministers: Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon called the Obama administration “hesitant” (Jan. 15), after which Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman urged the Americans to “move from words to deeds” (Jan 16). The underlying message was that the Israeli government felt free to attack Iran’s nuclear sites on its own if necessary and at a time of its choosing. Debkafile’s sources report that Netanyahu decided on this extreme course after careful consideration when he judged the Obama administration’s resolve to preempt a nuclear Iran to be flagging, as indicated by four omissions:

1. Washington has taken no action against Iran’s capture of the RQ-170 stealth drone on Dec. 4 more than a month after the event, and not even pressed President Obama’s demand of Dec. 12 for the drone’s return. Tehran, for its part, continues to make hay from the event: This week, our Iranian sources report, the Islamic Republic circulated a new computer game called “Down the RQ-170.” Players assemble the drone from the components shown on their screens and then launch it for attacks on America.

2. Silence from Washington also greeted the start of 20-percent grade uranium enrichment at the underground Fordo facility near Qom when it was announced Jan. 9. Last November, Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned in two US TV interviews (Nov. 17 and 22) that as soon as the Fordo facility went on stream, Iran would start whisking the rest of its nuclear facilities into underground bunkers, out of reach and sight of US and Israeli surveillance.

Barak made it clear at the time that Israel could not live with this development; therefore, the Netanyahu government believes Israel’s credibility is now at stake.
3. Exactly three weeks ago, on Jan. 3 Lt. Gen. Ataollah Salehi, Iran’s Army chief, announced that the aircraft carrier USS Stennis and other “enemy ships” would henceforth be barred from entering the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz . Yet since then, no US carrier has put this threat to the test by attempting a crossing. Tehran has been left to crow.

4. Even after approving sanctions on Iran’s central bank and energy industry, the White House announced they would be introduced in stages in the course of the year. According to Israeli’s calculus, another six months free of stiff penalties will give Iran respite for bringing its nuclear weapon program to a dangerous and irreversible level. source – DEBKA

REGIONAL WAR: IDF Preparing Imminent Attack On Iran As French President Emmanuel Macron Calls For Immediate Arms Embargo On Israel

Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said no country would accept rocket barrages on its citizens, and neither will Israel, as Emmanuel Macron calls for an arms embargo

Welcome to the Jewish New Year, and welcome to the start of a regional war with Iran. Things really got rolling to a boiling point just hours ago as French president Emmanuel Macron called for an arms embargo on Israel, resulting in a scathing response from the Jewish leader. Netanyahu is having none of it, but what he is having is a massive military reply to the 200+ ballistic missiles sent over by Iran, with many of them landing on Israel. The powder keg is full, the match has been lit, it’s showtime.

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

Things are changing so fast in the Middle East right now, that by the time you read this, this article may already be out of date. Having a King James Bible handy will serve as a nice buffer to keep you up to speed. Is this just a regional war, or are the words of the prophets leaping off the pages right now? I will leave you to make that determination for yourself, but before this weekend is over, war will have begun.

Netanyahu says Israel has a ‘duty and right’ to hit back at Iran over missile attack as Macron calls for arms embargo

FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday repeated his promise to strike back against Iran for its ballistic missile attack on Israel earlier in the week, saying it is a right any other country would have. Speaking from the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu said: “No country in the world would accept such an attack on its cities and citizens, and Israel won’t either.

“Israel has the duty and the right to defend itself and respond to these attacks — and it will do so.”

The Israel Defense Forces said earlier Saturday the response would be “serious and significant.” Iran’s rocket barrage, the second such attack this year, came amid the war against terror groups Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran said it fired the missiles into Israel in response to attacks that killed leaders of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. It referenced Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Revolutionary Guard Gen. Abbas Nilforoushan, both killed in an Israeli airstrike last week in Beirut. It also mentioned Ismail Haniyeh, the former leader of Hamas who was assassinated in Tehran in July in an attack widely attributed to Israel.

Rocket fire at northern Israel from Lebanon continued over the weekend, while the IDF said it believed it had killed at least 440 Hezbollah operatives since the start of ground operations on Monday. READ MORE

The IDF says the missile fire from Iran to Israel is ongoing and that citizens should stay very close to bomb shelters until further notice

It has begun, Iran has fired a minimum of 500 ballistic missiles at Israel, and all citizens have been instructed to follow the orders of Home Front Command and to stay in or very close to bomb shelters. The airports have closed until further notice. Reports are now coming in that missiles have landed and are already doing damage.

“Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.” Jeremiah 21:4 (KJB)

IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said the Israeli military was ready and willing to respond to any and all attacks from Iran. This is a breaking story and we will update this page and events unfold. Pray for the Jewish people, for Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem. Am Yisrael Chai!!

Iran launches massive aerial attack on Israel, 500 missiles sent

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: “You are asked to stay in a protected area until further notice,” the military says in a statement. It adds that explosions heard across the country are interceptions or impacts. Some 500 rockets were launched onto Israel on Tuesday night by Iran, the Jerusalem Post understands, following rocket sirens across the country.

Magen David Adom’s CEO Eli Bin announced that there was a direct hit to a building in north Tel Aviv, on George Weiss street.

Multiple other falls were recorded in Tel Aviv, as well as in Dimona, Nabatim, Hora, Hod Hasharon, Beer Sheva and Rishon Lezion. Video footage from KAN showed falling fragments of interceptors and missiles in the Dead Sea.

Ben Gurion announced that all landings and takeoffs have been halted. Planes that were in the air for landing made a U-turn. READ MORE

Iran has fired missiles from Iran toward Israel. The Israeli military said Iran fired missiles at Israel and air raid sirens sounded across the country. Air raid sirens are sounding across the country right now. Israel and the U.S. have warned there would be severe consequences in the event of an attack on Israel from Iran, according to officials. Israeli army spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the country’s air defense system was detecting and intercepting threats. “However, the defense is not hermetic,” Hagari said. The alerts from officials sounded after a day of rocket and missile attack from Lebanon. Israel has warned there would be ‘repercussions’ if Iran attacks.

The Invasion Of Lebanon Has Begun As IDF Soldiers Begin Ground Assault To Root Out All Traces Of Hezbollah And Their Cache Of Missiles And Rockets

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

IDF soldiers entered southern Lebanon as part of a ground assault on Monday night as the conflict with Hezbollah continues to escalate, AFP reported.

After a stunning direct hit on Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut last Friday, IDF troops have officially entered into southern Lebanon in their quest to dismantle the complete organization of the terror group. The IDF at 8:39 p.m. Israeli time took additional last-minute concrete measures leading toward an invasion, declaring closed military zones at Metulla, Misgav Am, and Kfar Giladi. So the question we ask, does this go all the way to the border of Iran? It’s sure starting to look like that from where we sit.

O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!” Jeremiah 22:23 (KJB)

William Shakespeare wrote in his historical play Henry V, about King Henry the Fifth of England, “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more”. It is not known if King Henry actually ever said that, but it certainly could be applied to Benjamin Netanyahu and the nation of Israel right now. Later on in that same scene, Shakespeare has the king utter “I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, straining upon the start. The game’s afoot”. Man, oh man, is it ever. The “startup nation” of tiny little Israel is in uncharted territory right now, having sailed off the pages of politics clear into the scrolls of the prophets who form the foundation of the Old Testament. Habakkuk 1:5 has said of these days “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” You want to know where we are on the end times timeline? You are here.

IDF troops invade Lebanon, according to foreign reports

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: This is the first IDF ground operation in Lebanon since the Second Lebanon War in 2006. This follows earlier reports that Israel notified the US that it intends to launch a limited ground operation into Lebanon that could begin within hours, a US official confirmed to CBS on Monday. Other news sources have reported that an Israeli incursion could come within the coming days. The IDF invasion follows an ongoing pattern of escalation between Hezbollah and the IDF since the start of the Israel-Hamas War.

On Friday, the IDF carried out an airstrike on Hezbollah’s central headquarters, killing former secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah. Previous IDF strikes have killed numerous senior Hezbollah terrorists in recent weeks, including a strike on Beirut that killed at least 16 high-ranking Hezbollah members, including Hezbollah’s Operations Division chief Ibrahim Aliq.

This also follows a series of widespread incidents throughout Lebanon and Syria where several communications devices owned by members of Hezbollah, such as pagers and radios, mysteriously exploded, killing several and wounding thousands. Hezbollah and foreign reports accused Israel of being behind the incidents.

The Iran-backed terrorist group has also been firing numerous rockets, drones, and missiles at the Jewish state since the start of the Israel-Hamas War, with the frequent barrages forcing tens of thousands of Israelis to flee from their homes in the North. READ MORE

Israel is widening its attacks on Iran-backed groups, both inside Lebanon and across the region. On Sunday, Israel’s military said it carried out strikes in Yemen targeting Houthi rebels, hitting sites in the city of Hodeidah on Yemen’s Red Sea coast. At least four people were killed and around 30 others wounded. Dozens of Israeli warplanes took part in the operation. A day earlier, the Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv’s international airport. The group has also repeatedly been attacking Red Sea shipping allegedly linked to Israel.
