Will the Russian/Islamic invasion of Israel take place before the tribulation?

Ezekiel 39:9-16 (NIV)
'Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up - the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel. They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunder those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord. 'On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east of the Sea. It will block the way of travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog. 'For seven months the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I display my glory will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign Lord. People will be continually employed in cleansing the land. They will spread out across the land and, along with others, they will bury any bodies that are lying on the ground. 'After the seven months they will carry out a more detailed search. As they go through the land, anyone who sees a human bone will leave a marker beside it until the gravediggers bury it in the Valley of Hamon Gog, near a town called Hamonah. And so they will cleanse the land.'

Yes! Why? First, Israelis “will bury any bodies that are lying on the ground” and then after “seven months they will carry out a more detailed search.” According to Ezekiel the Israelis feel safe collecting and burying the bodies of fallen Russian and Islamic soldiers. They are clearing their land, like what has been done in previous wars, to prepare for peacetime rebuilding. Second, Ezekiel notes the Israelis will be able to use the fuel of the defeated invaders for seven years. This single statement confirms the Russian/Islamic invasion cannot take place during the tribulation since the entire tribulation timeline unfolds in a seven-year period! If this skirmish were a single incident in a larger scale global thermonuclear war, the Israeli citizens would be seeking cover from future nuclear strikes instead of burying dead soldiers and collecting fuel.
