Israel has called its airstrikes on Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon ‘Operation Northern Arrows’ as the major military action enters the second day.
And so it begins. For the past 15 years, NTEB has been bringing you all the latest breaking end times news from Israel and the Middle East, and during all that time tensions have come and gone with a steady and predictable regularity. Then on October 7th of 2023, the predictability stopped and we went off the script. Last week, after nearly a year of fighting Hamas in Gaza, Israel finally took the fight to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Today, Israel has announced the start of ‘Operation Northern Arrows’, the fight to secure their northern border with Lebanon.
“Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.” Psalm 144:6 (KJB)
What is taking place right now in Lebanon is stunning, it is Israel saying “enough is enough!” and pro-actively launching pre-emptive strikes against Hezbollah. Israel is hitting Hezbollah mercilessly, to such great effect that now Iran is calling for a ‘de-escalation’ with their arch-enemy Israel. “We don’t want to fight,” the Iranian president said. “It’s Israel that wants to drag everyone into war and destabilize the region. … They are dragging us to a point where we do not wish to go.” Very disingenuous words from a nation that has done nothing but provide financial and military support to their proxies like Hezbollah with which to attack the Jews. It’s not fun when Israel fight back, is it? Mr. Netanyahu, if you’re reading this, put blinders on and destroy your enemies, because if you don’t they will destroy you. Don’t stop until Hezbollah and Hamas are reduced to insignificant numbers incapable of mounting further attacks on the Jews. But above all, remember the words of the prophets who tell you about the coming time of Jacob’s trouble, and believe them. It’s coming.
Israel Launches ‘Operation Northern Arrows’, Strikes Lebanon: Latest Updates
FROM NEWSWEEK: IDF’s chief of staff, Lt Gen Herzi Halevi unveiled the codename for its operation to secure Israel’s northern border against Hezbollah attacks with the intention of up to 60,000 displaced Israelis returning to their homes, while he warned Israel was preparing for the next steps of the operation.
Last week, Israel said it was shifting the focus of its firepower from Gaza to its Lebanon front last week, calling it a “new phase” of war with the Iran-backed Lebanese militia.
Israeli strikes killed nearly 500 people on Monday, the deadliest day for the country since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, the Lebanese health ministry said. Israel launched fresh air strikes on Tuesday prompting thousands more to flee southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah returned fire launching over 100 rockets into northern Israel. Escalation risks ‘complete destabilisation of region,’ says the Kremlin.

The Kremlin said Tuesday that the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah risked destabilising the region, according to Al-Jazeera.
“It is, of course, an event that is potentially very dangerous,” risking expansion of the zone of the conflict and “complete destabilisation of the region”, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists. “Of course that causes us extreme concern and worry,” the Kremlin spokesman added.
Peskov was responding to a question about how the Kremlin views the latest Israeli strikes on Lebanon and the possible ways it sees to resolve the conflict.
Temporary shelters set up as thousands flee Israeli bombs
Sky is reporting that Lebanese minister Nasser Yassin has said temporary shelters with space for 26,000 people have been set up as residents of Lebanon’s south flee Israeli bombs. Families have loaded cars, vans and trucks with belongings, gridlocking motorways to the north. Children crammed onto parents’ laps and suitcases were tied to car roofs. Some 89 shelters in schools and other facilities have been activated to receive them, said Mr Yassin.
President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran is prepared to de-escalate tensions with Israel
Bloomberg is reporting the move is possible if Iran sees the same level of commitment on the other side.
“We’re willing to put all our weapons aside so long as Israel is willing to do the same,” Pezeshkian told reporters Monday ahead of the UN General Assembly in New York. “We’re not seeking to destabilize the region.”
Pezeshkian is in the US for his first appearance at the UN’s annual gathering, where he’s scheduled to speak on Tuesday. After a delay because of the conflict in Lebanon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to address the same summit on Wednesday although this could change.
The Iranian president commented as tensions between Iran and Israel reach new heights after Tehran blamed Israel for being behind a large-scale explosion of pagers and walkie talkies that saw several killed and thousands of people injured in Lebanon — including Iran’s ambassador to Beirut. Iran has threatened to retaliate.
Death toll reaches 558 people according to health ministry
As Israel strikes continue into Tuesday Beirut’s Health Ministry has released the latest casualty figures with 558 people, including 50 children reported to have been killed and 1,835 people in total wounded in fierce bombardment of various parts of Lebanon, mainly in the south according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah fired a barrage of over 100 missiles at Israeli air bases in response as world leaders and the United Nations called for urgent de-escalation. Israel is fighting on several fronts and it is being reported that 12 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours. READ MORE
