Stand for Israel  |  May 11, 2023

Terrorists continue launching rockets at Israel, after a week of ongoing attacks from Gaza. Our friends at Arutz Sheva report that more than 550 rockets have already been fired at the Holy Land this week:

The IDF spokesman stated this afternoon (Thursday) that since the beginning of Operation Shield and Arrow, about 550 rockets were launched from Gaza towards Israel, of which nearly 400 entered Israeli territory. In total, there were 175 interceptions by the Iron Dome and David’s Sling system and 124 failed launches which landed inside Gaza.

Since the beginning of the operation, the IDF has attacked 166 targets throughout the Gaza Strip.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant held a meeting with Chief of Staff Major General Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar. “I instructed all the security forces to take all necessary measures to prepare a series of additional operations, and to maintain a high level of readiness and vigilance for the possibility of increased range of fire,” Gallant said.

The Islamic Jihad terrorist organization issued a statement threatening that Israel would pay the price for the continued killings of its leaders in the Gaza Strip. “The military arm of Islamic Jihad has the ability to expand and increase the circle of fire.”

Please continue to pray for the safety of all of God’s people, and for His shalom, peace, to come to Israel.
