Do Zechariah 12–14 and Ezekiel 36–39 describe a single future event where Jesus returns, splits the Mount of Olives, and is recognized by Israel?

Several prophetic passages appear to describe a sequence involving Israel’s regathering, a global invasion, and divine intervention. I’m trying to understand whether these are meant to be read as one unified future event, and specifically whether the intervention is identified with the return of Jesus.
**1. Regathering of Israel:**
>Ezekiel 36:24 — “I will take you from the nations… and bring you into your own land.”
**2.Invasion by Nations**
>On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.(Zechariah 12:3)
**3. Divine intervention involving the Mount of Olives:**
>On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake[a] in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.(Zechariah 14:4)
**4. Recognition of the one who was pierced:**
>“They will look on me whom they have pierced…”(Zechariah 12:10)
Within futurist interpretations, are these passages understood as describing the same end-time event, and is the one standing on the Mount of Olives in Zechariah 14 identified with Jesus Christ—meaning that the splitting of the Mount of Olives occurs at His return as part of God’s intervention during the invasion of Israel?
