Magen David Adom (MDA) confirmed that eight people were wounded by fragments from Iranian cluster munitions that fell across central Israel. Meanwhile, four IDF soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon during clashes with Hezbollah. The Jerusalem Post also reports that a man in his 50s was wounded in northern Israel by a rocket launched by the Iran-backed terror group.

The youngest of those wounded are two 18-month-old babies. MDA took the wounded to be treated at Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center, Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus, and Sheba Medical Center.

Several other people were treated for wounds received on their way to safe rooms or panic attacks.

Additionally, several cars went up in flames after a fragment from an Iranian cluster munition hit a street in central Israel.

The IDF reported that the fallen soldiers were Capt. Noam Madmoni, 22; Staff Sgt. Ben Cohen, 21; Staff Sgt. Maxsim Entis, 21; and Staff Sgt. Gilad Harel, 21, all from the Nahal Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit. Four other soldiers were wounded in separate Hezbollah attacks the previous day—one by rocket shrapnel and three by drone impact.

Since the IDF began operations in Lebanon following Hezbollah’s entry into the war, 10 IDF soldiers have been killed.

The IDF continues to strike Iranian munition depots and launch sites. These are categorized as critical and essential targets: critical targets pose immediate threats to Israel, such as missile sites, while essential targets include weapons production facilities and infrastructure that enable such threats. The IDF stated that it is on track to destroy all of these targets by tomorrow, just before sunset, which marks the beginning of Passover.

With Passover just over a day away, The Fellowship and its supporters remember God’s promise to His people to hear their prayers. We pray for the families of the four fallen soldiers and for those wounded in the nationwide attacks over the past 24 hours.
