Hello John and Doves,
In my other letter today about this Hamas-Israel war I noted that Hezbollah was in talks with Egypt - they said if Israel sends ground troops into Gaza, they will send troops into Israel. That was their red line in this war.Well, I came across this article where Hamas said "We have started a total battle!" "All scenarios are now possible and we are ready for an Israeli ground invasion." Whether Hamas intended for Hezbollah to join on their own or get 'drug' into this war, I don't know. But it looks like Hamas planned to 'somehow' get Hezbollah to enter the war; Hamas knew they'd have to do some serious attacks on civilians and IDF soldiers to get Israel to decide they have no choice but to enter Gaza. Hamas, knowing that Hezbollah wouldn't enter this war unless the IDF ground troops entered Gaza - needed a hook to drag Israel in. So now they are expecting their planned ground invasion. That's what this looks like.An Israel Commander revealed 1/12/2023 that "his soldiers were planning to mount a ground offensive into the Gaza Strip should another break out between the Israel Defense Forces and the Palestinian fighters..." This was announced via Newsweek. So Hamas was aware of this plan. And they may be using this to their advantage in getting Hezbollah involved this time.

And maybe Iran will join in. And maybe Russia will join in.Hamas and Hezbollah historically seem to keep their 'skirmishes' separate...but Hamas knows it needs the help of Hezbollah to reach their goals.Hamas said that they are close to achieving a great victor. Noting that "armed Palestinian factions intend to expand the ongoing battle in Gaza to the West Bank and Jerusalem."

Don't know if this is the start of the Gog war, but Russian and Iranian troops are on the border in southern Syria. They aren't there for the fun of it. They were positioned there for an attack on Israel...at some point. There will be a 'hook' to pull them in...something will move them to attack Israel."Behold,He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps."
