Israel agreed to a ceasefire with Hamas, but it is very fragile. Most of Israel’s government and military leaders agree that this is a temporary arrangement, as Hamas has proven in the past to not keep its end of the bargain. We are grateful that the quiet has been restored to the south of Israel for now. Please pray for wisdom for Israel’s leadership for the next round of attacks that will inevitably come from Hamas. Please also pray that Hamas will miraculously be ousted from power of the Gaza Strip. They are a very oppressive regime and the civilians there suffer greatly as a result.
