Dear A.,


Hezbollah continued to bombard Israeli cities and towns with rocket and drone fire over the weekend. More than 80 rockets were launched by the terror group into Israel yesterday alone.


One Hezbollah rocket that evaded Israel's aerial defenses crashed into a synagogue in Haifa, causing major destruction to the building shortly after Israelis had been praying there for Shabbat. Thankfully, the synagogue was empty when the attack took place.

Mohammad Afif , who claimed responsibility for targeting Prime Minister Netanyahu's home in the terror group's drone attack last month, was reportedly eliminated in a strike in central Beirut.


Afif was

hiding in a bunker in the central part of the Lebanese capital, and not in the Hezbollah stronghold in the southern suburbs, when he was targeted and killed.

The IDF released new footage this morning showing a Hezbollah weapons cache and attack tunnel being demolished by combat engineers in southern Lebanon.


The tunnel infrastructure was filled with weapons, ammunition, and equipment that "were prepared for an invasion" of Israel.

Tell Senators: Oppose Bernie Sanders’ anti-Israel resolutions
Senator Bernie Sanders is planning to force votes in the Senate this week to block critical arms sales to Israel.

“The Hamas terror organization systematically violates international law, brutally exploiting civilian institutions and the population as human shields for terror activity,” the IDF said, adding that it will continue to operate against terrorists who use civilian sites as command centers.
