Warship crosses through Suez Canal into Mediterranean Sea, possibly en route to Syrian coast for naval maneuvers

A Chinese destroyer sailed through Egypt's Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea, Egyptian daily Al-Shuruk reported on Sunday.

The destroyer could be on its way to the Syrian coast, the Egyptian newspaper reported, adding that the warship is planning to hold naval maneuvers in the area.

Al Shuruk daily further claimed that the canal authority authorized the Chinese ship's crossing through the canal following permission from the Egyptian armed forces.

Meanwhile, Egypt's Al-Wafd website reported that high security measures were taken during the ship's crossing of the canal.

Beijing, an ally of Syria, has repeatedly blocked Western-backedSecurity Council attempts to increase pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assad to end the violence sparked by a government crackdown on pro-democracy protesters.

Last month reports claiming that the armies of Iran, China, Russia and Syria are planning to hold naval maneuvers in the Mediterranean Sea were circling the media outlets. According to the report, 90,000 soldiers from the four countries will take part in the large-scale maritime war games, which will be held off the Syrian coastline.

In February, two Iraniannaval shipssailed through Egypt's Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, and according to Iranian reports, the ships docked in Syria.

Just last month, Russia said that it had dispatched a flotilla of 11 warships to the eastern Mediterranean, some of which would dock in Syria.

Moscow's gesture was the largest display of Russian military power in the region since the Syrian conflict began. Nearly half of the ships were capable of carrying hundreds of marines.

The King of the North

Daniel 11
The King of the North (NATO) has caused trouble in Egypt and Libya and now sets its sights on Syria. News from the North (Russia) and East (China) trouble it and it goes on a rampage (war against Syria and Iran).

Kings of the East

G-D'S Holy Word clearly speaks to all issues of life especially regarding the enemies of His beloved Israel, china is one of the main super powers called the kings of the east in Revelation 16:12 during the soon to come 7 year tribulation and treaty between the anti Christ and Israel Revelation 16:12 says "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared."
as for all the enemies of Israel, G-D Almighty will not let His beloved be hurt by any of His their enemies, china persia russia korea etc, see Ezekiel 38 russia military devestated to show the world G-D'S in charge over His Israel syria namely damascus gets hit in Isaiah 17, don't worry or be afraid or in fear Israel Psalms 121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. I stand with Israel 1000%
