Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and ex-IDF Chief Gadi Eisenkot publicly condemned the Israeli government's failure to protect northern residents as Hezbollah rocket fire sharply escalated, declaring the current situation 'not a ceasefire.' The ongoing bombardment of northern Israel by Hezbollah signals the continued fulfilment of prophetic pressure on Israel's borders, with the nation increasingly surrounded by hostile forces as Scripture foretells. This aligns with biblical warnings of wars and rumours of wars converging on Israel in the last days, as described in Zechariah 12:2 where Jerusalem and her land become a 'cup of trembling' to surrounding nations.
