Notice that the title is not The Invasion of Kuwait by Iraq. Like I say the focus is upon Israel. In the Invasion of Kuwait, Iraq tried to provoke Israel into the fight without success. Please read Psalm 91 together with the notes below.

Iraq is not mentioned by name nor is Scud missiles. Astonishingly, both can be found here. The underlying theme is God's PROTECTION,

"He who dwells in the SHELTER of the Most High" v1
"will REST in the SHADOW of the Almighty" v1
"He is my REFUGE and my FORTRESS"
v2 "He will COVER you with his FEATHERS" v4
"and under his WINGS you will find REFUGE" v4
"his faithfulness will be your SHIELD and RAMPART" v4
"but it will NOT COME NEAR YOU" v7
"even the Lord, who is my REFUGE" v9
"then NO HARM will BEFALL you" v10
"NO DISASTER will COME NEAR YOUR TENT" V10
"to GUARD you in all your ways" v11
"so that you will NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT against a stone" v12
"I will PROTECT him" v14 "I will be WITH HIM IN TROUBLE" v15

Israel did not jump into the fight in the Gulf War eventhough she was provoked. Israel was protected throughout by God and she simply

"OBSERVE WITH HER EYES and SEE
     the punishment of the wicked"     v8

Let us confirm the SCUD missiles,

"You will not fear the terror of night,
       nor the ARROW THAT FLIES BY DAY" v5

I saw a recent movie, "Broken Arrow" by John Travolta, which is about a stolen missile. In the military codeword, the arrow is the missile. Am I right? I am not a military man and I would just have to accept what Hollywood is telling me which in this case should correspond to reality. In any case, God is pretty poetic to have described the SCUDs as arrows that fly by day. What is more, I think we can find the potential dangers of Iraq using chemical warfare on Israel,

"and from the DEADLY PESTILENCE " v3
"nor the PESTILENCE that stalks in the darkness" v6
"nor the PLAGUE that destroys at midday" v6

My friend Paul observed that Israel seems to have been protected from the Gulf war Syndrome that the American soldiers were suffering from after the war due to the exposure of this deadly pestilence.
