Many believe Israel is now in its darkest hour since its War of Independence against five invading Arab armies concluded in March 1949. It seems the world is increasingly turning against the land and its people.
Just over six months ago, before the Oct. 7 massive massacres on a peaceful Shabbat morning in multiple small Israeli communities and a music festival encampment in southeastern Israel, nothing was the same. Geopolitical circumstances seemed bright, even while Israel pursued its war with terrorist group Hamas, making the region of Gaza a humanitarian crisis and war zone with thousands killed on both sides.
But the atrocities committed by Hamas and other terrorist groups on those several thousand members of sleeping Israeli families and friends that fateful fall morning are almost beyond belief. Hundreds of hostages (including women, children and the elderly) were taken back to Gaza as bargaining pawns. Dozens have apparently died in terror tunnels under Gaza, while many who remain are reported to have been physically and even sexually abused.
Recently, leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and proxy forces gathered in an auxiliary building in the Iranian Embassy complex in Damascus, Syria, to plan further deadly attacks. Israel allegedly bombed the building, killing several generals and bringing a dramatic and dangerous response from Iran two weeks later.

Overnight on Saturday, April 13, Middle Eastern skies were filled for several hours with 170 “suicide drones,” 30 cruise missiles and 120 ballistic missiles fired from inside Iran. These weapons of destruction and death were designed to indiscriminately kill innocent Israelis (both Jewish and Palestinian civilians and children) and destroy vital civilian and military infrastructure.
Even the falling debris from the projectiles was dangerous and critically wounded a 7-year-old girl. Each munition had the potential to damage or destroy religious shrines, sites and hospitals throughout the holy land of Israel.
