Palestinians in the area of Judea & Samaria are violently attacking Israeli soldiers in response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Israeli Defense Minister, Benny Gantz reportedly said that “Israel has no interest in an increase of violence but is prepared for any eventuality.” Sadly, on Friday, at least 10 Palestinian Arabs were killed in clashes with Israeli soldiers. Terror attacks are on the rise in the region. This past week, an attempted ramming attack took place on Saturday. The assailant was shot by troops and no other injuries were reported. The Gaza based Hamas terror group fired rockets towards Samaria on Saturday claiming to target Jewish settlements there. One rocket landed near the city of Qalqiliya where Palestinian youth cheered and praised Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif. Please continue to pray for Israel in this trying time. Please pray for wisdom for our leaders as they are constantly faced with difficult decisions. Please also pray for those who are injured and for the families who have lost loved ones in this current conflict. Lastly, please pray that the calm will return to the region quickly.
