At that time, the Islamic conspiracy forces will be deliberately waiting to launch a vicious counter attack against the Israeli push into Lebanon, and will begin a massive southward push on both sides of the Galilean, Samarian, and Judean Mountains, which will finally stop at Beersheba, the gateway to the Negev Wilderness.
