Dear Prayer Partners,

A young IDF soldier was stabbed to death at a central bus station in northern Israel by a 16-year-old Palestinian boy.  The soldier and the Palestinian were riding a bus together into the station when the attack occurred.  The soldier succumbed to his wounds in surgery shortly after the attack.  Please pray first of all for the comfort of the soldier’s family, as this comes as a total shock. The soldier was just recently drafted into the IDF, which means he was only 19 years old. Please also pray for the salvation of the Palestinian boy who is so blinded by hatred that he would take the life of another in cold blood.  Lastly, please pray that this incident will not spark additional terror attacks, which are recently on the rise due to the current “peace” talks between Israel and the Palestinians.  For more, see Soldier Murdered
