On Thursday, an Israeli cargo ship en route to Singapore was attacked in the Gulf of Oman. While an investigation is underway, Israeli Defense Minister, Benny Gantz, suspects Iran is behind the attack. Israeli Channel 13 News reported that officials believe the Iranian navy launched a precision strike to avoid casualties. Allegedly, they fired two missiles at a part of the ship that, if damaged, would not have sunk the vessel. The vessel docked in Dubai to undergo repairs. Tensions between Israel and Iran continue to rise, as Israel and the United States have been targeting Iranian militia in other parts of the Middle East. Please pray for Israel’s protection from Iran, which is vocal about wanting to “wipe Israel off the map”. Please also pray for wisdom for Israeli officials as they confront the Iranian threat. Lastly, please pray for protection from further Iranian attacks against Israeli targets.
