As the second week of Hamas’ war against Israel continues, US President Biden landed in Israel for meetings with Israel’s senior leaders including PM Netanyahu and his security cabinet. Biden expressed continued support for Israel as well as his sadness over the atrocities committed by Hamas.
Meanwhile, last night, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad fired a barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip last night towards Israeli civilian population centers. Initial reports indicate that one rocket fell short, landing on a hospital and reportedly killing hundreds inside. While Israel publicly released video footage and tapped conversations between terrorists, an investigation into the incident has been opened. Time will tell the truth about what actually happened.
Following the explosion in Gaza last night, Hizballah called for a “Day of Rage.” Around 1,000 Lebanese sympathizers have been violently demonstrating outside the US Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, cutting through fences and even throwing Molotov cocktails at riot police. Pro-Hamas events have also occurred in Morocco, which normalized relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords, and even in Britain and Australia.
Please continue to pray for protection over Israeli soldiers and civilians. Please pray for wisdom for Israel’s leaders. Lastly, please pray for continued international support for Israel and for people to awaken to the truth about Israel.
