From A Little Strength, another excellent article:

As I'm sure many of you know, the coming Tribulation will be a time of unparalleled destruction and upheaval, as God purges His people Israel and pours out His judgment on the nations that have persecuted them and on a world that has spurned the grace and mercy He expressed to it through His Son Jesus Christ.

As we read the book of Revelation, we find ourselves swimming in a sea of gut-wrenching images of the seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments that are unleashed during this brief period of time, and from the sound of things it's mind-boggling to think that anyone would or could survive this period at all. But many will, and those who do will ultimately be judged as to whether or not they warrant admittance to the Millennial Kingdom that follows.

The Tribulation will be especially hard on the Jews, however, since one of its purposes is to purge Israel and bring forth the believing remnant who will finally embrace their true Messiah—the one they pierced two thousand years ago. This believing remnant will be protected by God during the most intense period of the Tribulation, many believe in Petra in Jordan. God will protect them from the worst that the Antichrist can throw at them, as Satan launches his desperate, all-out effort to destroy the Jews so he can hang on to this little corner of the universe where he can "be like the Most High."

Game, set, match: Destroying the Jews has long been #1 on Satan's to-do list, and the reason is simple. The event that triggers the Second Coming is when the Jews implore the Lord to save them at the climax of the Tribulation (Hos. 5:15). And Satan is at least smart enough to know that if the Second Coming goes down, it's game, set, match for Jesus.
