Dear A.,


Iran-backed terrorists are attacking Israel on several fronts. Today the IDF confirmed that a suspicious aerial target that crashed into southern Israel yesterday was a cruise missile launched by Houthi terrorists in Yemen.


The

attack marks the first time a Houthi projectile struck inside Israeli territory.


Meanwhile in the north, Hezbollah

launched seven attacks on Israeli communities and IDF bases near the border with Lebanon. Two IDF soldiers were wounded in the attack and were taken to a hospital for treatment. Israeli fighter jets struck Hezbollah buildings and weapons depots in response to the attacks, both in Lebanon and in Syria.


As Iran orchestrates attacks against Israel from all sides, America must continue to stand with our ally and ensure Israel has the resources it needs to protect its families. Click below to download an AIPAC fact sheet detailing the multiple threats Israel is forced to defend against.

IDF kills more Hamas terrorists operating in Gaza&rsquo;s largest hospital


The IDF continued to operate in the Shifa Hospital complex today to eliminate and arrest Hamas terrorists who used the facility as cover for terrorism.


According to the IDF, "dozens of prominent terrorists in the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations" were eliminated and 300 terror suspects were apprehended including many who were involved in directing terror attacks in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.


The video below shows some of the weapons found inside the hospital director&rsquo;s office, including Kalashnikov rifles and rocket-propelled grenades.


That Hamas terrorists deliberately use hospitals as command centers and bunkers highlights their despicable use of Gaza&rsquo;s civilians as human shields. For peace and a better future for Israelis and Palestinians alike, Hamas must be destroyed.

This week, Congress is considering vital funding bills that include $3.3 billion in security assistance, $500 million for missile defense, and $87 million for counter-drone and counter-tunnel cooperation. This is in addition to the $14.3 billion emergency aid package.

Israeli delegation heads to Washington


Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi will fly to Washington, D.C. in the coming days to discuss the war effort with top U.S. officials.


The White House confirmed today that the meeting would likely take place next week.


The discussions will reportedly address Israel&rsquo;s efforts to transfer humanitarian aid into Gaza and the IDF&rsquo;s plans to root out Hamas terrorists in Rafah &ndash; the last remaining Hamas stronghold where terrorists have deliberately embedded themselves among civilians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today that "We do not see a way to eliminate Hamas militarily without destroying these remaining battalions [in Rafah]. We are determined to do it."
