[Today’s Prayer] “Israel cannot prevent all attacks during an all-out war with Hezbollah”… US evaluates
As armed tensions between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah are increasing, there has been an assessment that Israel will not be able to prevent all Hezbollah attacks if it escalates into an all-out war.
On the 20th (local time), CNN, citing U.S. officials, reported that if a full-scale war breaks out between Israel and Hezbollah, Hezbollah attacks could overwhelm the northern air defense network, including Israel's Iron Dome air defense system.
“We estimate that at least some of the Iron Dome batteries will be overwhelmed,” a senior administration official said.
Israel also evaluates this. One Israeli official said that if Hezbollah launches a large-scale attack centered on precision-guided weapons, the Iron Dome may be difficult to defend.
Israel explained to the United States that it planned to move southern military resources to northern Israel in preparation for the possibility of a large-scale attack.
The Biden administration assesses that we have entered a very dangerous period and is concerned about the possibility of all-out war.
One U.S. official expressed concern that “something could happen without a photo warning.” Another official said, “It is a miracle in itself to maintain the front line (at the current level) for such a long period of time.”
If it escalates into a full-scale war, it is expected to develop in a much more destructive manner than the war with Hamas.
Hezbollah possesses rockets, missiles, and drones that are exponentially larger, more sophisticated, and more destructive than Hamas. Most are short-range rockets, but some can reach deep inside Israel.
Israel is also leaving open the possibility of attacking Lebanon. The plan is to create a sort of buffer zone by pushing Hezbollah out 10km from the border. Currently, residents of northern Israel are fleeing as Hezbollah attacks continue.
U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken also told Arab officials he met during a recent trip to the Middle East that Israel appears to have intentions to attack inside Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant held an operational evaluation at the Northern Command on the 19th and said, "We are ready on the ground and in the air," and added, "We have an obligation to change the situation in the north and ensure that residents can return home safely." He said.
All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace. In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. (Isaiah 54:13-14)
God, we hear if Israel and Hezbollah escalate into an all-out war, we hear that Israel will not be able to prevent all Hezbollah attacks.
Save the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael, who have been suffering in endless conflict from the time of Isaac and Ishmael to this day.
Would cover these two nations, whom you love so much with your great arms and mercy.
Let all the spirits of conflict and division, the horrors of war, and the spirits of death among these two nations, go away by the power in the name of Jesus Christ,
Pity the souls who are driven to death and filled with fear, and grant the peace of Jesus Christ, whom the world cannot give or know, to those who lie in the midst of a broken spirit.
At this hour of prayer, allow the Holy Spirit God to be upon Israel and Lebanon.
