Saturday June 14 update: Overnight missile barrages from Iran at 1:30, 4AM and 6AM struck central Israeli cities including Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Rishon Lezion, killing three civilians and injuring dozens, with 63 confirmed injuries, including one woman who later died from her wounds. 150 ballistic missiles were fired in multiple waves. While Israeli defense systems, including the Iron Dome, intercepted many of these missiles, some penetrated the defenses, resulting in casualties and damage. We’re thankful for the tireless work by our Air Force as knocking out many launchers primed to fired in Iran, prevented a much greater loss of life.

Civilian Accounts and Damage
* Residents described terror, confusion, and destruction as missiles hit homes.
* In Tel Aviv, high-rise buildings shook, smoke filled apartments, and structural damage included ruined lobbies and burst water pipes.
* Families sheltered in safe rooms for hours as rescue teams searched for survivors.
Rescue Efforts
* Hundreds of IDF Home Front Command personnel, firefighters, medics, and police worked to evacuate and locate residents.
* In Rishon Lezion, two people including a 73-year-old man and a woman were killed.
* A three-month-old baby was pulled from rubble with only light injuries.
* Neighbors assisted one another amidst the chaos, helping the injured and clearing debris.
Military and Strategic Context
* The attacks followed Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, missile factories, and military leaders, killing dozens.
* IDF representatives announced that Tehran air defenses have successfully been eliminated, paving the way for greater attacks in the area.
* The Radar and air defenses of Iran were quickly defeated in this intensive and masterfully planned assault.

Amazing video of Israel intercepting an Iranian drone over the Galilee.

The video was on foreign channels without credit.

Nine senior scientists and experts who played pivotal roles in advancing the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons program have been eliminated based on verified intelligence.

Each individual targeted was a critical contributor to the development of Iran’s nuclear arsenal.

Their removal delivers a major setback to the regime’s capability to pursue weapons of mass destruction.

Israeli Home Front Command will shortly activate an advance warning to citizens' mobile phones. Our forces have detected Iranian forces preparing a massive barrage under the cover of darkness. Please pray for the IDF and our allies as they prepare to defend our nation from this attack.

"A very sad and difficult morning. Our sisters and brothers were murdered and injured last night by criminal Iranian attacks against the civilian population in Bat Yam, Tamra and other communities. Jews and Muslims, veteran citizens and new immigrants, including children and the elderly, women and men. I share in the heavy mourning of the families and grieve the terrible loss. I pray for the recovery of the injured and the finding of the missing. We will mourn together. We will overcome together."
The President of Israel, Yitzhak Herzog

These are difficult days and we need your prayer. Join us in prayer for the missing, wounded, and those we’ve lost in this war.

Amazing victory! Homefront command braced the nation for what was brewing as a massive attack! Just then our Airforce took out dozens off launchers primed to go!! Remember the launchers are a very finite supply especially as we’ve taken out the vast majority of their missile industry!

There are many voices calling for peace, for the bombing to stop, and surely we can all agree that peace is infinitely better than war. We all want to see an end to the death and destruction. The question is, how do you get peace? If Israel just stopped fighting, would there be peace? Or more destruction? Was Israel wrong to preemptively strike Iran? Should the US have stayed out of it? How can military action which causes death and destruction ever be right?

Powerful American strike force destroys Iranian Nuclear weapons program! War update June 22

The word for bomb shelter is “miklat” in Hebrew (מקלט) but in Psalm 46 we read that God is refuge (machase – מַחֲסֶה), our high tower (misgav – מִשְׂגָּב) an ever-present help in times of trouble. While bomb shelters have been saving lives every day in this war with Iran, God has also rescued many Israelis by His miracles. He is with us.

WOW! Incredible footage captured from the dashcam of an Israeli driver in Southern Israel shows the moment an Iranian missile struck just a short distance from his car! Thankfully, despite all 10 missiles launched this morning in 5 separate volleys, there are no reports of casualties or injuries! Thank God for His miraculous protection!
