Do you know how important you are to Israel’s frontline communities?

Christians like you play a crucial role in keeping Israel strong and safe. Because of your help, Israeli residents can put out fires with mobile, all-terrain firefighting trailers. Because of you, families can run to bomb shelters for safety when deadly ordinance comes down from the sky. You equip Israelis to defend themselves against destructive arson fires and protect them from deadly mortar shells and rockets.

1. Your prayers and aid boost the confidence and resilience of local Israelis.
2. Your prayers and aid frustrate the enemy’s attempt to terrorize civilians.
3. Your prayers and aid help save lives and bring Israel a step closer to victory!

Thank you for standing with Israel. As we conclude our current campaign on Gaza, a tentative calm has settled on the border area when it comes to rocket and mortar attacks, but the airborne arson continues regardless. Therefore, we invite you to read this brief crisis report, “Vandalism as Warfare.”

Israelis notice your help and feel your prayers, and they say thank you! Remarkably, when we spoke with Elan Isaacson, Head of Security for the Eshkol Region bordering Gaza, he thanked us for more than our current crisis help; he thanked us for standing with Israel all year round! You are a great testimony to men and women on the frontlines. Please continue to strengthen Israel’s communities!

TOP STORY

IDF Strikes Terror Cell Inside Syrian Zone of Golan Heights

The IDF Spokesperson’s Office announced Thursday afternoon that one of its aircraft had struck a terrorist cell in the southern Golan Heights, on the Syrian side of the border, killing 7 terrorists. The incident came amidst fierce fighting between Assad regime forces and remnants of the Islamic State (IS) terror militia in southern Syria. Meanwhile, Russian Presidential Special Envoy for Syria Alexander Lavrentyev told Sputnik news agency on Wednesday that the Kremlin and Israel have agreed to a plan for the Iranian forces deployed in Syria to be moved 85 km away from the Israeli border.

Netanyahu Vows to Participate in Red Sea Clearing Operations

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahyu declared on Wednesday that the IDF would participate in international military operations to re-open the Bab al-Mandab Strait at the mouth of the Red Sea if Iranian forces attempt to close it. His statement at a ceremony honoring the commissioning of the latest cohort of Israeli Naval officers was much stronger than statements made by other Western powers on the subject. In related news, the US cyber security firm Symantec issued a report this week saying that a group of Iranian hackers calling themselves “Leafminer” have targeted military and civilian computer networks in several other countries in the region, including Israel.

Israel Brings Blessings to Africa

Ugandan Health Minister Dr Jane Aceng spoke last Friday at the commissioning of a center for the treatment of diabetes at one of Kampalla’s largest hospitals, thanking the Israeli government for its assistance in many such projects in her country. “The collaboration between Israel and Uganda is not limited to medical supplies but has been extended to capacity building, she said, mentioning several projects that are in the pipeline meant to assist Uganda’s public health sector. Meanwhile, the Israeli organization Startup Nation Central (SNC) recently hosted delegations from several African countries during which they shared Israeli technological solutions to a variety of problems facing farmers there.

UN Panel says Iran Shipping Weapons to Yemen

A panel of experts from a UN committee investigating various aspects of the war in Yemen issued a report this week saying, among other things, that UAV’s, ballistic missiles and various other weapons used by the Houthi rebels in the conflict appear to have been supplied by Iran, despite Teheran’s ardent denials that it is supplying such armaments in violation of several UN Security Council resolutions. “It seems that despite the targeted arms embargo, the Huthis continue to have access to ballistic missiles and UAVs to continue and possibly intensify their campaign against targets in KSA (Saudi Arabia),” said the report.

Druze Leaders to Continue Fight Against Nation-State Law

Leaders of Israel’s Druze community held meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu late into Wednesday evening in an effort to iron out differences over the recently passed “Jewish Nation-State Law” but reportedly failed to come to an agreement. The next morning, it emerged that the community leaders have decided to continue their lawsuit against the state in the Supreme Court and a large street demonstration against the law is still being planned for Saturday evening.

What’s in a Name?
Pinhas Anbari, JCPA

What is the meaning of this strange name, “Ahed”? Ahed means “obligation, commitment.” It is part of the fundamental oath of terror organizations, and primarily Fatah. Anyone who joins the organization swears and pledges himself to the liberation of the whole of Palestine from the Israeli sword. This is called: al-Qassam and al-Ahed: the oath and the obligation.

White House Briefing Regarding Sanctions on Turkish Officials

“The President has been closely following the ongoing situation in Turkey involving Pastor Andrew Brunson. We’ve seen no evidence that Pastor Brunson has done anything wrong, and we believe he is a victim of unfair and unjust detention by the government of Turkey. At the President’s direction, the Department of Treasury is sanctioning Turkey’s Minister of Justice and Minister of Interior, both of whom played leading roles in the arrest and detention of Pastor Brunson.”
