In the early hours of this morning—just before 3:00 a.m.—Israel launched a surprise, preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure. This historic operation, conducted in coordination with the United States, came after clear intelligence revealed Iran was mere days away from nuclear weapon capability.
The name of the mission: “Rise Up As a Lion,” drawn from Numbers 23:24: “The people rise like a lioness; they rouse themselves like a lion that does not rest till it devours its prey.”
In a powerful act of intercession, Prime Minister Netanyahu went to the Western Wall and placed this very verse in a written prayer, asking God to go before the nation.
