10 Israelis are dead and more than 200 injured as Iran’s missile barrages on Israel continue. Six were killed, including 2 children, in a strike on an apartment building in Bat Yam. Amid the horrific destruction, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Iran:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran will pay a “very heavy price” for targeting Israel’s civilians, while visiting the site of the early-morning Iranian missile strike on a Bat Yam apartment building, where six Israelis were killed and dozens more wounded.

“Iran will pay a very heavy price for the murder of civilians — women, children — that it carried out deliberately. We will achieve our objectives, and we will strike them with overwhelming force,” says Netanyahu according to a readout from the Prime Minister’s Office.

“We are here because we are in an existential battle — one that is now clear to every citizen of Israel. Think about what would happen if Iran had a nuclear weapon to drop on Israel’s cities,” the premier says.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and for protection for Israel and her people.
