Israeli airstrikes killed at least 18 people in southern Lebanon overnight, with Israel striking 80 Hezbollah-linked sites even as a newly signed US-Iran agreement called for a permanent halt to regional hostilities. The continued fighting despite diplomatic efforts underscores how no human-brokered peace arrangement can suppress the forces converging on Israel's northern border, a corridor long identified in biblical prophecy as a flashpoint in the end-times conflict. Ezekiel 38 and Joel 3 both describe a multinational assault on Israel from the north, and the persistent presence of Hezbollah — backed by Iran — on Israel's border keeps that prophetic alignment in sharp focus.
