This represents the first documented instance of a major social media platform enabling direct civilian funding of military equipment through targeted advertising. The combination of crowdfunding technology, social media reach, and military hardware procurement creates an unprecedented civilian-military funding pipeline that bypasses traditional state-controlled military funding channels.

📰 What Happened
Global watchdog Ekō has identified 117 ads on Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) since March 2025 soliciting donations for Israeli Defense Force military equipment, including drones and tactical gear. Despite previous removal of 98 similar ads in December 2024, Meta has allowed identical campaigns to resume. One active ad from Unit Shaked specifically requested 'shooting tripods' for operations in Jabalia, Gaza. The IDF itself is not running these fundraising campaigns.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The emergence of 117 military fundraising ads on Meta platforms marks a critical timeline checkpoint in the Gaza conflict's evolution. This merging of social media, civilian resources, and military technology fulfills Daniel 12:4's prophecy of increased knowledge and rapid movement in the end times. The specific mention of Unit Shaked's sniper operations in Jabalia aligns with Zechariah 12:2-3's description of Jerusalem becoming a 'cup of trembling.' The use of Meta's platforms to fund drones demonstrates the prophesied technological acceleration enabling precise military operations around Jerusalem.
