In the past two weeks, Israelis have faced rising terrorist attacks on numerous fronts:
- Lebanon: On April 6, Hamas launched 34 rockets from southern Lebanon into Israel — the largest escalation from Lebanon since 2006 — injuring at least three people and damaging several civilian buildings.


- Syria: On April 8-9, Iranian-backed forces in Syria fired six rockets at Israel — demonstrating Iran's commitment to using Syria as a new front against Israel.


- West Bank: On April 7, A Palestinian terrorist killed two British-Israeli sisters and their mother in a shooting attack in the Jordan Valley.


- Tel Aviv: Also on April 7, A 35-year-old Italian tourist was killed and seven were wounded in a car ramming attack in Tel Aviv.


- Gaza: On April 5, Hamas fired 18 rockets into Israel from Gaza, hitting a factory in Israel’s southern city of Sderot. On Friday, a Hamas official called to "bring annihilation upon the Jews. [...] Count them, kill them one by one, and do not leave a single one of them alive."


- Jerusalem: As Ramadan evening prayers ended on April 6, 400 Palestinian men barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa mosque with fireworks and rocks, with the stated plan to attack Jewish visitors in the morning. The rioters prevented innocent Palestinian worshipers from leaving the mosque to use them as human shields against Israeli police.These attacks aren’t about settlements, Ramadan or improving the lives of Palestinians. Armed and financed by Iran, these terrorists are trying to kill innocent Israelis and destroy the Jewish state.

Please help our work to ensure America stands by Israel as it acts to protect its citizens from terror attacks and increases the pressure on Palestinian leaders to stop the incitement and work to curb rising terrorism.


Thank you for your support.


Sincerely,
