Syria: Israel strikes air base used by Iran near Aleppo

The official Syrian news agency reports that Israel launched missiles against a Syrian air base near Aleppo Sunday night. Other sources reveal the target was the Al-Nayrab an airbase housing Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. DEBKAfile’s military sources add that this base, southeast of Aleppo, also serves Hizballah forces operating in the district and possibly pro-Iranian militias. If the Israeli attack is confirmed, it will serve to highlight a key issue on the table between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin at their face-to-face in Helsinki the following day: Syria and the removal of Iranian and Hizballah forces from the country.

      It is closer everyday, but it won’t be happening for many years – likely not in our lifetimes. Careful study of the Holy Bible is necessary for greater understanding. All components of a prophecy must be analyzed and given careful consideration otherwise a premature conclusion can be reached. Peace.
