Update (Day 898) Swords of Iron-Lion’s Roar “Devastating Destruction”

It’s heart-wrenching to see the devastation from these missiles. We intercept as many as we can—but some get through. Rescue teams are digging through rubble across central and southern Israel, racing against time to reach victims. These are moments to stop and pray for Israel.

Attacks continue on multiple fronts. An anti-tank missile struck near a school, causing damage. In the north, a vehicle was hit, killing a man. These are not isolated incidents—they reflect the intensity of this moment.

The most severe strike was a large ballistic missile that hit a residential neighborhood in southern Israel. In two major impact zones—one in the south and another in central Israel—around 120 people were injured, many seriously. Several buildings were heavily damaged or destroyed. Emergency crews, helicopters, and ambulances are working minute by minute, searching collapsed structures and evacuating the wounded. Every second matters.

It has been one of the hardest nights of the war. Entire families—more than 150—have been forced to evacuate their homes. Buildings are no longer safe. People need shelter, stability, and support. In the north, in the Galilee, explosions shake homes and rattle windows. The situation is intense.

This can go in two directions: toward de-escalation—or intensifying further. Israeli leadership has made clear that operations will continue until these threats are dismantled. Strategic targets have been struck, including key facilities tied to hostile capabilities, with confirmation that no radiation leak occurred.

Despite everything, Israel remains resilient. We will get through this.

In times like these, we hold onto faith: “Be strong and courageous” (Joshua 1:9). That is the call now—strength, courage, and unity.

Thank you to those standing with us, helping provide what people and soldiers need in this critical hour. Your support is not symbolic—it is practical, immediate, and deeply felt.
