I know it’s going to be destroyed and will never be inhabited again after it is. The thing I can’t figure out if it happens before the Trib, during the trib, or at Armageddon. With it being so close to Israel I would think it could be at any time and with the nuke facility there it’s probably going to happen before the Tribulation period during the Ezek 38-39 war.
It's impossible to pinpoint because God doesn't give us any hints as to the time of this prophecy's fulfillment.
However, if the facts as presented in the article work out as we could imagine they will based on the Scripture, it could very well be before the Tribulation.
