We are deeply saddened and appalled by the devastating news of the violent terrorist attack that took the lives of two of our dedicated Embassy staff in Washington — Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim.

Both were Messianic believers. Yaron was well known among the believing community in Israel and will be deeply missed.

Our hearts go out to their grieving families in this time of sorrow, and we remain steadfast in our support for them.

May their memories be a blessing.

If you're just waking up, we wanted to update you on the main events that have unfolded in the last 12 hours.

#1. Six waves of airstrikes were executed, involving hundreds of fighter jets—a historic operation that will go down in the history books.

#2. Mossad operatives took part by activating pre-positioned weapons smuggled into Iran. This saved our Air Force from SAM missiles, cleared the skies, and eliminated many launch sites that were prepared to fire on Israeli cities.

#3. Ballistic missile production and storage facilities were destroyed in multiple locations.

#4. The Natanz nuclear site sustained major damage and is now non-operational.

#5. The nuclear facilities at Fordow and Isfahan have not yet been targeted.

#6. High-ranking officials from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and military were killed. This has caused significant confusion within their ranks, slowing both defensive and offensive responses.

#7. Several scientists linked to Iran’s nuclear program were also eliminated.

#8. While a massive amount of damage has been inflicted in a short time on these nuclear and missile facilities, many are deep underground and require multiple rounds of bunker-buster munitions to fully neutralize the threat.

#9. Iran has issued warnings of a major retaliatory response, expected imminently. We're receiving reports of Iranian ballistic missiles being moved into launch positions. Our Air Force is actively eliminating many of these threats as they emerge, but we need your prayers as Israel enters Shabbat and our forces continue pressing the attack.

According to foreign reports, Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei is anticipated to announce a declaration of war against Israel within minutes, with dramatic and large scale missle fire as soon as his speech begins.

We lean upon the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Our trust is in Him alone. May his strength be with our soldiers and Airforce! Stand with us in prayer so the world will see God’s salvation and power!

The attack from Iran has started. Live view from our staff’s home in Netanya. Please pray for our safety.

So far 7 injured reported all in light to moderate condition from 5 impact sites. Seeing where the missiles hit, it’s a miracle that more were’t killed or injured!

As of 9:53 around 300 Missiles have been fired at Israel, unfortunately we’re expecting more. The vast majority were intercepted. In Tel Aviv’s impact so far only 4 were lightly wounded and 1 moderately wounded.
