Turkish PM Erdogan seems nearly determined to provoke an armed clash with Israel as he orders warships to eastern Mediterranean to confront Israeli navy vessels enforcing Gaza blockade.

Turkey’s military has installed new technology that will allow warplanes and ships to target Israeli vessels. Previously, Turkish planes, ships and submarines used American technology, which automatically classified Israeli equipment as 'friendly'.

The switch, pioneered by Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s regime, was declared ready just days after Erdogan suspended defense trade with Israel and termed Israel a “spoiled child.”

"The mosques are our barracks, says Turkish Prime Minister Erdoğan, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers."

Erdogan was greeted in Cairo by an enthusiastic crowd chanting, “Allahu Akbar!” and “Egypt, Turkey, one fist!”

‘Son of man, prophesy against Gog of the land of Magog,[Russia] the prince who rules over the nations of Meshech and Tubal. Give him this message from the Sovereign Lord: Gog,[Antichrist]I am your enemy! I will turn you around and put hooks into your jaws to lead you out to your destruction. I will mobilize your troops and cavalry and make you a vast and mighty horde, all fully armed. Persia,[Iran] Ethiopia,[Cush] and Libya [Put] will join you, too, with all their weapons. Gomer [Turkey] and all its hordes will also join you, along with the armies of Beth-togarmah [Turkey, Armenia, and the Turkish-speaking people of Asia Minor] from the distant north and many others.’” Ezekiel 38:1-6
