Hello John and Doves,

 

The Israeli ground forces and IAF are intensifying their operations in the Gaza Strip.  "Large forces of IDF infantry and armor are now operating in Bureij, Beit Hanoun and Jabalia in Gaza, while ongoing firefights and massive airstrikes are reported."

 

The Jordanian Foreign Minister said "Israel has just launched a ground war in the Gaza Strip and the result will be a humanitarian disaster of epic pro

portions."

 

The IDF has sent more leaflets into Gaza:  Residents must evacuate immediately and head to the areas south of the Wadi Gaza.  Gaza has become a battlefield.  Shelters in northern Gaza Strip are not safe.

 

People in Israel are thinking Hezbollah will not stay out of this war.  And the warships keep coming!

 

With all the US Navy power plus building in the Middle East...this looks like more than just a 'helping Israel' collection of fire power.  Looks more like 'protecting US assets spread through out the Middle East'.  And the number of ships is crazy.  See the info below.

 

We have the USS Eisenhower Strike Group, the Tonnerre ARG (Amphibious Ready Group), NATO Maritime Group 2, Littoral Response Group, the Bataan ARG, the UNIFIL Maritime Task Force, and various other US warships plus ships from Britain and a few other countries.

 

These can be sitting ducks with the ship killer missiles, drones, etc.  And Russian MiGs are watching with their carrier killer missiles.

 

And it kinda looks like 'putting your eggs all in one basket'.  Not liking this big navy buildup with our ships as sitting ducks.  (But I wouldn't put it past Biden, Austin, Blinken et al to want our Navy destroyed.  Easier for China to take over.)

 

 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

 

Maranatha!

This looks like the naval equivalence of the calling together of armies to the Valley of Megiddo.
