Israel Under Attack - Updates
10/08/2023 07:33:06 AM
On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists launched an unprecedented attack on Israel from Gaza, firing thousands of rockets, breaching the country’s borders, killing dozens of Israelis, and wounding hundreds more. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel was at war to defend itself and gave the order for the IDF to commence “Operation Swords of Iron.”
Our hearts continue to ache as we watch Israel at war. In these moments of tragedy and uncertainty, we need each other.
