IDF Chief Says Israel Ready to Strike Back After Iranian Shrapnel Hits Eilat

Iranian shrapnel struck Israeli territory near Eilat on Sunday, prompting IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir to declare Israel prepared to respond, with military sources confirming the attack has shifted the IDF closer to a war footing. This escalation between Iran and Israel marks a direct and ongoing aggression against the Jewish state, a flashpoint Scripture identifies as central to the end-times convergence of nations against Israel. The prophet Ezekiel forewarned of a coalition of nations moving against Israel in the last days, and Zechariah 12:3 declares Jerusalem and Israel will become a burdensome stone for all peoples in the final hour.
