As Iran regrouped from the strike, dubbed Operation Rising Lion, its response began.
Across Friday and Saturday night, hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles were launched toward targets across Israel.
Even with Israel’s air defenses intercepting about 90–95 percent of everything Iran fired, five percent of hundreds of missiles is still devastating. Those that slipped through have taken a heavy toll. As of this writing, 22 missiles have struck—unintercepted—in major cities like Tel Aviv, Rehovot, and Bat Yam.
At least 13 people, including children, have been killed, and hundreds more have been injured. The attacks have affected everyone, not just Israelis—four of the victims were Arabs from the village of Tamra, hit last night.
But even in the midst of this, local believers are already on the ground—listening, assessing, and asking the Lord how they can be the hands and feet of Jesus in this moment. And our team is doing the same—discerning how we can best support our local partners here on the ground as needs continue to unfold.
