According to reports, Israel’s Home Front Command is preparing for thousands of rockets to hit Israel during the next war. Hezbollah is said to have a stockpile of 120,000 rockets. Many of these rockets can hit anywhere in Israel. In preparation, the Home Front Command is revamping its entire warning system. It currently divides the country into 264 polygon alert zones in which a siren is activated once the flight path and expected landing area of a missile or rocket is calculated.
According to the Jerusalem Post “Israel’s already state-of-the-art alert system is being upgraded, as the number of polygon alert zones is set to increase to a few thousand by April 2018. The increase in zones means that, as opposed to a siren sounding for an entire city, individual neighborhoods or streets will be alerted to take shelter.”
How Close Is War?
With the new detente between the Trump Administration and Putin actively changing the dynamics in Syria, Hezbollah and Iran sense an abrupt change in their relationship to Russia. The divergent interests of Iran and Russia are beginning to come to the surface as Putin looks to not only force a peace on Syria, but forge a long lasting alliance with the USA. Iran wants none of this. Its entry into the civil war had the goal of safeguarding its supply route to Hezbollah as well as creating a defacto Iranian presence on Israel’s northern border.
With Putin looking to quiet down the conflict most reports from the region claim that his next move is to force Iran out of Syria altogether. In an article published in December of 2015 we predicted this very situation:
Putin has never ascribed to Iran’s goal of establishing a Persian controlled Middle East. Russia would like to be in control of the region in as far as the oil and its military bases are concerned. A strong Iran provides Putin with a serious challenge down the road. The problem is that Putin needs Iranian troops and ground support in Syria so he does not repeat the Russian mistakes of Afghanistan in the 1980s. Right now because he has placed very little Russian soldiers into the fray, he is receiving huge support from the Russian citizenry.
While Russia needs Iranian troops, it does not need Iran exploiting the partnership in hopes it gets an edge up on Israel. Putin knows a cornered Israel could create a far bigger problem. Russia is also receiving advanced intelligence from Israel on ISIS positions.
While Iran is a formidable power, with Putin and Trump working together the Mullahs understand their ability to affect Syria maybe becoming to an end. An Iran with nothing to lose is a very dangerous Iran. Expect the Ayatollahs and their henchman Hezbollah to throw the Levant off course.
Iran’s Ballistic Missile Test Is The First Push Back
Iran fired its first ballistic missile test since Donald Trump was sworn in as president. The missile flew 500 kilometers before crashing. Bibi Netanyahu reacted immediately to the test by stating “it must not go unanswered.” The White House is still looking into the matter and will decide upon its response. More importantly, the ballistic missile test is a message the changing alliances that are catching Tehran off guard: We will not go quietly.
It has been revealed by the IDF that Hezbollah has its missiles trained on Israeli villages and cities with launching pads in 200 villages on the Lebanese Israeli border. The IDF released a previously classified map detailing the precise location each launching pad.
With the Israeli airforce working overtime to mitigate weapons transfers between Iranian commanders in Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the real question is not if there will be a war, but when.
Israeli Airforce Primary Mission is to Prevent Arms Shipments
With the flurry of air attacks on Syrian targets, one can observe how the IDF stretches the understandings with Russian leader Putin. The only atacks he allows are ones that directed at potential arms transfers to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The goal of these transfers is to strengthen the armanents in Southern Lebanon in preparation for al out war with Israel. Now that the Syrian army seems in control of the war efforst, Hezbollah has energy to spare to turn its sites once more on Israel.
Local reports near the Mezze Airforce Base right outside of Damascus claim aerial bombardment of the base at 4am. Although the official Syrian regime response to the attack is that “the base suffered a malfunction causing an internal fire,” eyewitnesses reporting to non-Assad control media detailed the 4am missile attack as coming from the air.

All Syria an opposition website reports the following:
Media sources confirmed the pro-regime outbreak of large fires in the Mezze military airport west of the capital, Damascus, on Wednesday at dawn, shortly after explosions likely to have resulted from Israeli raids on the airport.
Mezze military airport is one of the most important military airports in Syria, and separating few kilometers from the presidential palace.
And variations novels pro system for reasons, he said some of the explosions were caused by an internal malfunction in the airport, while others said it was caused by Israeli shelling, and did not issue any official statement until the time of preparation of this article.
The airport is in addition to being an air base, the main concentration of regime forces on the outskirts of the capital, points, and there are inside thousands of items from the forces of order, also it contains a prison, followed by Air Force Intelligence, best known for his ill-treatment and killing of hundreds of detainees, according to the testimonies of survivors of it.
Below is a video taken from the attack, clearly showing the attack coming from the air and not a result of a base malfunction.
It appears the UN has once again spent the day condemning Israel. In all, 6 resolutions bashing Israel were passed on one day last week. One of the resolutions called for Israel to withdraw from the Golan Heights and to return the area to the Syrian Government – yes, the same one that is currently (TODAY!!) massacring civilians in Aleppo and throughout Syria. This is the same Syrian Government that is under the complete control of Hezbollah and Iran. This is the same Syrian Government that has used chemical weapons on civilians. And on and on.
Israel has aleady controlled the Golan Heights for nearly 50 years – longer than Syria ever controlled it (47 years). In that time, Israel has officially annexed the area and the Jewish population has gradually increased. It now stands around 25,000 – with concrete plans to increase to well over 30,000 in the near future.
These previous realities starkly display how irrelevant and worthless the recent UN resolution is for all practical purposes. There is no question as to the future of the Golan Heights – they will always be part of Israel. The question is, how should Israel respond to this resolution and the others that were passed. Additionally, there are constant threats of further UN resolutions and even Security Council resolutions against Israel.
Israel should quit the United Nations. Effective Immediately!
By continuing to be members of this ridiculous “organization”, Israel gives some level of legitimacy to the nonsense that is regularly spewed there. This is the same group that disputes a Jewish connection to Jerusalem, that relegates random arabs to “palestinian refugee status”, that refuses to actually stop genocides around the world and that actively aids Israel’s enemies in times of military conflict. And that’s a very partial list of their complicity to evil.
The Jewish Nation is called upon to “dwell alone” and we are callled upon to be a “light unto the nations”. We can accomplish neither as members of the United Nations. Its time to embrace our destiny and our reponsibility. For our own sake and the sake of the nations of the world, Israel should say Bye to the United Nations.
