Israel Air Force Shoots Down Hostile Drone From Lebanon: The Israeli Air Force has shot down a drone from Lebanon off of the Haifa coast. It was not clear if the drone was armed but air force jets were quick to shoot it down. Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Israel is prepared to deal with any threat from Syria or Lebanon. This is the second such incursion of a drone into Israeli air space in the past 6 months. Please pray for Israel’s continued security. Please also pray that the instability in the region will not spread into Israel. Lastly, please pray that Israel will look to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for protection.

Anti-Israel and Anti-Semitic Sentiment High: Anti-Israel and Anti-Semitic sentiment is high in many places, according to a US report by the State Department. According to the report, Anti-Semitism is especially high in Ukraine and in Venezuela, as well as the Palestinian Authority. There were also many concerning trends in Hungary, where far right groups voiced blood libels and requested a list of all Jewish politicians. Please pray for God to protect Jews and Israelis around the world. Please also pray that those who are Anti-Israel would see the hypocrisy of their bias and that God would open their eyes to truth. Lastly, please pray for the next generation growing up in Anti-Semitic regimes, especially the Palestinians, that they would not be indoctrinated in hatred but that God would take their generation and do a miracle.

Please continue to pray for the Body of Messiah in Israel as Israel is facing uncertain times; please pray we will be a great source of blessing to all Israel and that through our witness, many in Israel will come to know their Messiah.  Please pray for strength, courage, gentleness, and boldness in our witness to our neighbors who do not yet know Yeshua.

Thank you for praying and standing with Israel! Shabbat shalom…
