Our work is all the more essential as the threats facing Israel continue to mount. Below is a timeline of events that happened just this summer:
Aug. 11, 2019: Israel’s army foiled a potential mass-casualty when four Palestinian terrorists in Gaza were caught attempting to cross into Israel. The terrorists were armed with RPG grenade launchers, AK-47 assault rifles, and hand grenades.
Aug 23, 2019: A 17-year-old Israeli girl was killed in an explosion while hiking with her father and brother, who were wounded in the attack.
Aug 24, 2019: Israeli warplanes struck targets in Syria where Iran was preparing to attack Israel using “killer drones.”
Aug 27, 2019: Terrorists fired four mortars at Israel from the Gaza Strip. This was in addition to 9 rockets and mortars fired in just over a week.
Sep 11, 2019: For the second straight day, Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired rockets into Israel. In total, 15 rockets have been fired this month, forcing thousands of Israelis into bomb shelters.
By working with AIPAC, you can help ensure the United States and Israel stand together in the face of these threats―and any that could emerge in the future.
Together, we will work to keep the U.S.-Israel alliance strong.
Together, we will ensure the United States continues to support Israel with the critical funding needed to keep its citizens safe.
Together, we will work to advance 21st century partnerships between the United States and Israel, in critical areas like cyber-security, renewable energy, water sustainability, agriculture and more.
