“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint…” Luke 18:1 KJV (Certainly, especially those in Israel pray continually for peace for their nation. We also keep up our prayers for them.)

After three relentless weeks of war, the strain on Israel and her people is deepening.

Combined missile and rocket assaults from Iran and Hezbollah continue daily. Though Israel’s air defense systems—Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow—are intercepting roughly 90% of incoming threats, the remaining strikes are taking a heartbreaking toll.

So far, between 15 and 28 civilians have been killed.

More than 3,200 people have been hospitalized since the conflict began. In the last 24 hours alone, dozens were wounded—including 20 to 39 people injured when a missile scored a direct hit on a building in Dimona.

Nearly 825 others have been hurt simply trying to reach bomb shelters in time.

The danger is constant. The exhaustion is real.

Hezbollah continues daily barrages from Lebanon, striking northern cities like Ma’alot-Tarshiha, Karmiel, and Haifa. In a recent escalation, sirens were triggered as far south as Ashkelon—far beyond previous attack ranges.

The damage across Israel is staggering:

• Nearly 31,000 buildings have been damaged
• A kindergarten in southern Tel Aviv was hit
• A synagogue near Jerusalem sustained damage
• A building collapsed in southern Israel
• A missile struck a building in Dimona near a sensitive facility
• At Ben Gurion Airport, shrapnel damaged aircraft sparking a fire
• Approximately 4,000 vehicles have been destroyed

These are not just statistics. 

Throughout her history, Israel has faced determined enemies and relentless threats. Yet she has endured—standing firm in the land God promised in Genesis 12:7:
“To your descendants, I will give this land.”

But endurance does not lessen the human cost.

They represent families displaced. Children living under trauma. Elderly citizens struggling to reach shelters. Communities trying to function amid constant alarms.

And yet, through it all, Israel stands.

Families are exhausted after weeks of interrupted sleep. Parents are searching for ways to calm frightened children. Thousands are recovering from injuries. Many have lost homes, vehicles, and livelihoods.

In these challenging and uncertain days, Israel needs your support now more than ever.

Your gifts today will help supply:

• Food boxes and prepared meals for displaced families and vulnerable seniors
• Temporary shelter for those forced from damaged homes
• Blankets, clothing, and supplies to replace what was lost
• Hygiene items and medicines for those sheltering in place
• Trauma care for children, parents, and the elderly
• Rapid-response aid as new emergencies arise

And, earnestly…

• Pray for protection over Israel’s cities and citizens.
• Pray for those who are grieving and those who are recovering.
• Pray for first responders and medical teams.
• Pray for the leaders and for peace across the entire region.

Isaiah 40:1 calls us clearly:
“Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.
