Syrian Jets Threaten Israel

Luke 19:43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.

Editor's Note: Jim Bakker teaches to watch Israel closely because it is the prophetic timeclock for the unfolding of Last Days events. In Matthew 24, Israel is the fig tree that the Lord told His people to observe to understand the times. It is like a barometer of what is happening in the nations.

Israel scrambled their jets to the Syrian border after Syrian fighter jets and a helicopter were spotted rushing toward the border.

A report on Israeli TV said that the jets made it to a few hundred meters of the border before they turned back when the Israeli aircraft arrived on site.  There was no direct conflict between the two countries’ planes.

A source told Haaretz that while Syrian aircraft in the area is not uncommon, the massive amount of planes in a short time was unusual.  The call for the Israeli jets to scramble in response is considered “very rare.”

The report on TV station Channel 2 said that the scrambling of the jets also came because Syria did not notify Israel of increases in plane activity.  Syria claims that they need to bring their flights near the border as part of their fight against rebels attempting to overthrow the government.

The Israeli Defense Force said that they spotted terrorists at the Syrian border placing explosives on Friday.
