Friend of Israel,
Last week, Hezbollah fired 22 rockets toward Israel from Lebanon, causing warning sirens to sound across northern Israel.
Ten of the rockets were intercepted by Israel's lifesaving Iron Dome, eight landed in open areas in Israel, and four fell short of the border in Lebanon.
While there were thankfully no injuries, the attacks sent thousands of Israelis to seek safety in bomb shelters.

Help keep Israel safe from growing threats across its borders. Stand with AIPAC before our August 31st fundraising deadline.
Hezbollah is an Iran-backed terrorist organization that cares more about killing Israelis than protecting Lebanese civilians.
During last week’s attacks, a Lebanese citizen caught video evidence of Hezbollah firing rockets from his neighborhood, right next to people’s homes in southern Lebanon.
It’s the latest example of Hezbollah using Lebanese civilians as human shields and follows news last month where the IDF revealed intelligence showing a Hezbollah weapons warehouse just meters from a Lebanese school with 300 children.

HELP KEEP ISRAEL SAFE
The United States must continue to support Israel’s right to self-defense and ensure it has the means necessary to defend itself by itself, including by maintaining our full commitment to security assistance to Israel.
Additionally, the U.S. must continue to push back against Iran and Hezbollah’s efforts to destabilize the region, including by supporting sanctions against those responsible for Hezbollah’s use of civilians as human shields and those providing support for their efforts.

Please show your support of AIPAC by joining today and help us work with Congress to ensure Israel has the resources needed to keep its citizens safe from Hezbollah and other growing threats.
Thank you,
Brian Shankman
Chief Strategy Director for National Affairs
