The IDF's 36th Division has seized Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon, crossed the Litani River, and destroyed vast Iranian- and North Korean-built tunnel networks, killing an estimated 3,500 Hezbollah fighters — yet a ceasefire halted full operations as Hezbollah actively rebuilds just beyond Israeli lines. This ongoing conflict between Israel and Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon is a direct outworking of the prophesied end-times pressure on Israel from her northern neighbours, with the Litani River region historically associated with the biblical boundaries God promised to Israel. Scripture forewarns of persistent wars and rumours of wars surrounding Israel before the end, and the continued massing of hostile forces on her northern border echoes Ezekiel's warning of a great northern coalition gathering against the land of Israel in the last days.
