This current news item indicates how serious the war in the middle-east has become now that Israel is firing missiles that are landing in Damascus. According to the book of Isaiah chapter 17, an event is coming in the future when the city of Damascus will be destroyed. Here is what one Bible commentary stated:

In the last days, the Bible tells us, a horrible series of events will take place in the lands of Israel and Syria. One of these events is the disappearance of Damascus as one of the premiere cities in the world. The oldest continuously inhabited city on the planet, Damascus has witnessed at least five thousand years of human history, and some historians believe the city actually dates back to centuries B.C.

Certainly the events that are taking place indicate that Isaiah 17 could be fulfilled at any moment. Israel has the means to do it.

December 7 - Israeli jets said to strike Syrian army, Hezbollah sites

Israeli airstrikes hit an important Syrian regime military airport in Damascus, the pro-Hezbollah Lebanese news network Al Mayadeen claimed Wednesday. According to the report, the planes struck the Mezzeh Military Airport, located in a suburb of Damascus, around 4 a.m..

Other Arabic media, including al Jazeera and al Arabiya, confirmed that a large explosion had occurred at the airport. Some reports say the fire was caused because a weapons depot exploded. The Al Mayadeen report noted there had been no official confirmation from the Syrian regime that Israel was responsible, but added “it was almost certain” the explosion was due to IAF airstrikes carried out from Lebanese air space. A video of the explosion at the airport spread through social media.
