BREAKING NEWS! Detroit synagogue president found fatally stabbed outside her home, Jewish synagogue in Albuquerque evacuated after bomb threat
From The Baptist Press:
TEL AVIV, Israel – As Israel continues air strikes against Hamas in Gaza in the wake of the terrorist organization’s brutal, October 7 surprise attack, an estimated 60,000 Israelis and 1 million Palestinians have been displaced as war ravages the 141 square-mile region.
“Following the Hamas attack on Israel, everybody knew it was bad, worse than anything they had seen,” said one Baptist representative who served in and around Israel for more than a decade. “The attack was so horrific that everyone knew it was different.”
Israeli defense officials say Hamas has launched more than 6,000 rockets at Israel in the days since the initial terrorist attacks.
Send Relief has mobilized through local, Christian partners to provide housing, food, medical supplies, bomb shelters and trauma counseling for more than 20,000 displaced and hurting people in Israel and the region.
The organization issued a video update about the response intended for churches to show in their services this weekend.
“From the outset, it was obvious that there was going to be incredible need, and Baptists are known to respond when needs arise,” said this Baptist representative, who spoke on condition of anonymity given security concerns as they may return to the region. “We are going to respond just like we would respond anywhere else in the world.” More Here
