Israel defends strike on Syria 

as U.S. frustration with Bibi grows

Axios 8/18/26

Presenting things here 

out of order from the article

 to get to what matters first.

"U.S. officials say 

the Syrian government hasn't taken any 

hostile steps toward Israel 

(There's your smokescreen

Revelation 13:11

"...he had two horns like a lamb, 

and he spake as a dragon."

Fork-tongued, speaks out of 

both sides of his mouth.)

"and for months has tried to reach 

a new security agreement..."

(Daniel 9:27

And he shall confirm the covenant 

with many for one week:...)

 to de-escalate tensions on the border 

between the countries."

Just find me one other country that has:

"for months has tried to reach 

a new security agreement"

with Israel...

Now throw in 

all the Old Testament passages

about "a personage" called

"the Assyrian".

It's pretty simple really.

Now to the rest of the story.

"The other side: Twenty hours after the strike, the Israeli prime minister's office claimed responsibility. It wrote on X that Syria "was on the verge of breaching" an agreement with Israel to maintain the security status quo "by permitting Turkish troops to deploy at an airbase near Aleppo."

"Israel repeatedly warned Syria that such a deployment would pose a threat to Israel's security. Syria chose to ignore these warnings. Israel will not tolerate threats to its security, and would welcome a return to the status quo," the post read."

"The Syrian government had been aware of Israel's concerns about the base for some time. It had sent messages to the Israelis explaining why it was rebuilding the runway and emphasizing it did not have hostile intentions, a source with knowledge of the matter said.

(Revelation 13:11

"...he had two horns like a lamb, 

and he spake as a dragon.")

"The Israelis told the White House the strike was aimed at deterring Turkey from sending a shipment of sophisticated weapons systems to the airbase — and preventing a broader military buildup at the site, U.S. and Israeli officials said."
