Today, Israel remains surrounded on all sides by terrorist groups seeking the destruction of the Jewish state.
Terror from the air: Earlier this year, terrorists in Gaza fired 1,100 rockets at Israel over 3 days, forcing thousands into bomb shelters. The rockets were fired from populated areas in Gaza toward populated areas in Israel—a double war crime.
Terror on the ground: 29 Israelis were killed this year in a wave of shooting, stabbing, bombing and car ramming attacks. Just last month, a terrorist detonated two bombs in Jerusalem, killing two Israelis (including a teenager) and injuring 19 others. Both explosions occurred at bus stops during rush hour.
Terror below ground: Since 2014, Israel has destroyed over 50 Hamas terror tunnels. Yet the danger of Israelis being kidnapped or attacked via tunnels under the Gaza border remains. Just last month, The U.N. said it discovered a new tunnel being used by terror groups under a school for Palestinian children. It’s yet another example of terrorists using civilians as human shields.

You can further your support of AIPAC, and help ensure our leaders in Washington stay informed about the growing threats facing Israel and the need to ensure Israel has the vital security assistance it needs to keep its citizens safe.
America and Israel need one another more than ever. And your support of AIPAC is essential to ensuring our elected leaders continue to stand with Israel.
Your support will help us work with our leaders in Washington to ensure America continues to uphold its commitments to Israel’s safety, with vital funding for security assistance that saves countless Israeli lives.
