Day 73 – Massive Terror Tunnel Uncovered

The IDF today released footage and evidence of the largest terror tunnel found to date, located in the northern Gaza Strip, at places only around 400 meters from the border with Israel. The tunnel is around four kilometers long and at places is wide enough to allow for the passage of vehicles.

Tragically, five IDF soldiers fell in combat in the last day, while an additional soldier who was seriously wounded in combat on Thursday sadly succumbed to his wounds. Hamas also continues to hold 129 innocent Israeli and international civilians and soldiers hostage.

Following repeated attacks by the Houthis in the Red Sea and along the coast of Yemen, two shipping companies announced their temporary suspension of shipping through the Red Sea while one of the two companies is also temporarily pausing their shipment of all Israeli goods.

In Judea and Samaria, an IDF reserve officer was moderately injured in a stabbing terrorist attack. The terrorist was apprehended after around an hour by security forces. An additional terrorist attack took place Monday morning in which a woman was shot and moderately injured by terrorist(s). Israeli forces are searching for the perpetrator(s).

65 US investors are set to visit Israel, meet with prominent politicians and companies, and visit kibbutzim attacked by Hamas on October 7th. The delegation’s leader stated the group’s intention to stand by the “Start-Up Nation” during this difficult time.

Please pray for healing for the injured and comfort for the families of Israel’s fallen. Please pray for continued operational success for Israel in Gaza and on its other fronts. Lastly, please pray for deterrence against the Houthis.
