Sirens in central Israel. Missile from Yemen.

❗The second crew member of the downed American F-15 has been rescued from Iran.

Trump shared a video of heavy overnight bombing in Tehran that he says killed many high-ranking Iranian officials who foolishly refused to make a deal with the US.

Israeli forces have demolished many of the buildings in villages along the Israel-Lebanon border. These structures were in sight of nearby Israeli communities, and were often used as cover by Hezbollah terrorists to launch anti-tank missiles into Israel.

The dramatic rescue of a downed American navigator saw US forces land dozens of commandoes on Iranian soil, while attack drones kept Iranian forces at bay.

Some reports indicate that two of the planes brought in to extract the incursion force malfunctioned, and so the Americans destroyed them on the ground and called in replacement aircraft.

President Trump noted that the successful rescue operation demonstrated the air superiority the US and Israel have achieved over Iran. It also showed that the US is capable of rapidly deploying ground forces in Iran and securing captured territory with air power.

This Passover, the table is set, but the silence feels heavier.

Some seats are empty. Some sons and daughters are still in uniform. And the ancient words land differently when a nation is living through war in real time.

Passover is not only about remembering deliverance. It is about remembering what evil is, resisting what suffering can do to the human heart, and refusing to become shaped by the darkness we are forced to confront.

That is the challenge of this season: not only to endure, but to come through the fire without letting it define who we become.

The IDF has identified approximately 165 rocket launches by the Hezbollah terrorist organization that have landed inside or adjacent to UNIFIL posts in Lebanon.

The Hezbollah terrorist organization systematically violates international law and continues to operate while endangering international forces and harming UN personnel operating in the area.

Throughout the targeted operational activity in southern Lebanon, the IDF is working to maintain coordination with UNIFIL forces in the area.

Iran fired a missile at southern Israel a short time ago. Rescue teams have been dispatched to look for damage or casualties.

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Jesus’ refusal of violence was not a political template for nation-states. It was part of a unique redemptive mission.

That distinction, which the Pope seems to miss, matters.

As war rhetoric grows more openly religious in both Washington and Jerusalem, the real question is no longer whether faith belongs in the public square. It already does. The question is whether the West still understands that in existential conflicts, nations do not survive on security logic alone.

Israel does not have the luxury of pretending theology, identity, and war can be neatly separated. Europe may still indulge that illusion. The Middle East does not. And America is waking up.
