More than a week ago I wrote that after its second retaliatory air strike against Iran, Israel must ensure that there is no third Iranian attack on Israel. Israel originally planned to bomb Iranian nuclear and oil facilities to eliminate the nuclear threat from Iran. But that was called off because of the Americans, firstly because Washington feared that this would drive up oil prices and secondly because it could trigger a multi-front war. But nevertheless, Israel had to strike Iran in such a way that a third Iranian reaction would not be feasible, or that Iran would be at risk if it attacked Israel anyway. Nobody knew how, and everything was speculation. It had to be a smart strike. There was no word from the Israeli side on how Israel would respond – everything I heard was based on Arab and American sources.

At this point I don’t think Israel has to wait for the Iranians to attack again before Israel attacks again, if they choose to do so. As stated in the article, Israel just has to decide if Iran intends to attack again or give up their assault on Israel.
I believe the next attack on Israel will be a ground assault. The scripture says they, the enemy, will die on the hills of Israel and it will take seven months to bury the bodies. In its war with Iraq, Iran used lots of young human shields to keep its main body of troops for their final assaults. Russia, not wanting to be left out has invited North Korean troops to get battle experience in Ukraine while they put more troops on the ground in Syria, why? A large enough human wave assault cannot be stopped at the border, the scripture says it will take the Lord Himself to stop it. Israel needs to prepare for that scenario as well.
