‼️ Sirens in northern Israel.

‼️ Raanana attack

17 total wounded: 1 critical, 3 serious, 8 moderate and 5 light

At least 2 terrorists began stabbing drivers and stole their vehicles, and then proceeded to run over as many pedestrians as possible.

1 terrorist was reportedly shot dead and the second fled the scene. Initial reports are that he was captured a short time later near a school.

One of the victims of the Raanana attack has died.

Among the victims in Raanana are children who were stabbed while on their way home from school.

The terrorists have been identified as Palestinians from Hebron who had been working illegally at a car wash in Raanana.

In a second, promised Hamas video, Noa Argamani is made to tell us that the other two hostages seen in yesterday's clip–Yossi Sharabi and Itai Sabirsky–were killed by Israeli bombs.

The IDF is in touch with the families and is reviewing its own intelligence.

Either way, the psychological terror of Hamas will take its toll on Israeli society by increasing calls for a hostage exchange deal at any price.

The price Hamas demands is an immediate end to the war in Gaza, leaving Hamas in control.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.
