I guess all the sabre rattling lately and provocation by Israel was for a reason. Israeli airstrikes have been reported again in Syria, with a reprisal of rocket attacks upon northern Israel from Lebanon.

Bennett continues to demonstrate his ultranationalist stance with his tough rhetoric and sabre rattling. Although he is restrained by his moderate coalition, he does appear more unhinged and perhaps more radical than Netanyahu. As mentioned before, his aggressive stance on Israel's right to exist may be the linchpin to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

"Prime Minister Naftali Bennett warned on Tuesday that Israel would not tolerate rocket fire from Lebanon, a country that is on the verge of collapse, after two rockets were fired early in the morning."

This situation in the South China Sea and overall provocations by China in general are also something to keep an eye on.

Another strike being reported in Syria. Not sure if this is related to the one I posted about yesterday. If not, this would be a third strike within Syria within the past few days - not common.

Found the timing of this discovery very interesting, especially in regards to what the coins are about and Israel's current predicament with Iran / Iran's proxies.

Iran is suspected of hijacking 4 oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. This comes about 2 or so days after an Israeli tanker was attacked by Iranian suicide drones off the coast of Oman. Things seems to be heating up again.

The drone attack on the ship Mercer Street off the coast of Oman is an important game changer in our understanding of threats to commercial ships by both states and non-state actors, such as terror groups backed by Iran.
