Dear A.,


This Veterans Day, we honor the brave American men and women who risked their lives in service to our country, and pray for the strength and safety of those currently serving in the military.


Over the past 13 months, tens of thousands of U.S. servicemembers have been called to the Middle East in a powerful demonstration of American strength, resolve, and support for our ally Israel.


The seven-front war launched by Iran and its terror proxies against Israel is a battle for our shared American and Israeli values. It is a war between good and evil, between those who celebrate life and those who celebrate death. Israel's fight is not only against terrorists who have attacked the Jewish state for 402 days, it is also against enemies who have killed scores of Americans and want to destroy our country.


Together, through our work to advance the U.S.-Israel relationship, we are fighting to ensure our ally has the resources it needs to win and that the forces of good will prevail.


I am honored to be in this fight with you.


Sincerely,

Jake Braunstein

Director of Policy Communications



Tell Senators to Oppose Sanders-Led Resolutions to Block Arms Sales to Israel
In August, the Biden administration approved five major arms sales to Israel. These weapons are essential for Israel to deter, defend against, and confront Iran and its proxies.

Bernie Sanders and his allies are moving to bring resolutions to the floor, possibly as soon as this week, to block these weapons sales. These anti-Israel efforts must be defeated overwhelmingly.


I urge you to act now and call on your senators to reject the Sanders resolutions.

In 24-hour span, Israel faces 100+ rockets from Lebanon, ballistic missile from Yemen, drones from Iraq

Early this morning,

Israel intercepted a ballistic missile fired by Houthi terrorists in Yemen toward central Israel. Air raid sirens blared throughout cities and towns near Jerusalem, and shrapnel from the interception sparked

fires in the city of Beit Shemesh.


The IDF reportedly shot down the missile outside of Israeli airspace using its Arrow-3 anti-ballistic missile system. Together, we have lobbied Congress to provide more than $4.5 billion for the lifesaving Arrow program.


The ballistic missile attack this morning was the second Houthi missile attack on Israel in recent days, with Iran's terror proxy in Yemen launching

another missile at southern Israel on Friday. The Houthis have fired more than 220 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones at Israel over the past year.


Israeli air defense systems also shot down four attack drones from Iraq overnight. Iran-backed terrorists in Iraq claimed responsibility for the attacks.


Along with being attacked from the south and east, Hezbollah launched a barrage of over 100 rockets across northern Israel throughout the day. The assault caused significant damage to homes and buildings across northern Israel. Video footage showed

numerous fires burning as a result of the strikes.

As Iran's terror proxies attack Israel from multiple fronts at once, America must stand with our ally and ensure Israel has the resources it needs to defend its families.

Israel uncovers trove of CCTV footage showing Hamas torturing civilians in Gaza

While operating to destroy Hamas in Gaza, the IDF uncovered
[link removed]
years' worth of CCTV footage showing Hamas terrorists torturing civilians in Gaza.


The IDF released some of the footage over the weekend, showing the horrific abuse done by Hamas to detainees.


The videos captured between 2018 and 2020 expose "Hamas’s brutal methods for interrogating civilians, violating human rights and systematically oppressing residents suspected of opposing the organization’s rule," the military said.


Clips show prisoners screaming with sacks over their heads chained to floors and ceilings, while Hamas members beat them with sticks.

Hamas doesn't care about Palestinians in Gaza. It only cares about destroying Israel, using civilians as their human shields, and carrying out their genocidal vision.


For a better future for Israelis and Palestinians alike, Hamas must be driven from power in Gaza.

Defense Minister Katz: Iran nuclear sites 'more exposed than ever'

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz
[link removed]
said today that Iran's nuclear sites are more vulnerable than ever following Israel's airstrikes on its air defense systems last month. Katz’s warning comes as Iran is reportedly preparing another major attack against Israel.


"Iran today is more exposed than ever to damage to its nuclear facilities," he said. "There is a possibility to achieve the most important goal, to thwart and remove the threat of annihilation over the State of Israel."


On Israel's operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Katz said, "there will be no ceasefire and there will be no respite [for Hezbollah] until the goals of the war are achieved."


On Gaza, he added that "We will do everything to bring [the hostages] home and ensure the defeat of Hamas."
