IDF Halts Lebanon Ground Advance Amid Pending US-Iran Nuclear Deal

Israel's 36th Division has pushed north into Lebanon, nearing the city of Nabatieh, but the IDF is reportedly preparing to stop its ground advance as a US-Iran deal takes shape. Israel's ongoing military campaign against Hezbollah — the Iran-backed force on its northern border — reflects the prophesied pressure on Israel from surrounding enemies in the last days. Scripture foretells a time when Israel will stand virtually alone against hostile neighbours, with Ezekiel 38 and Zechariah 12 describing the nations' alignment against Israel preceding divine intervention.
