Just two hours ago, we received a critical update from Israel. In a significant escalation, the IDF launched an attack on a key Hezbollah-Iran airstrip at Kilat Jaber in southern Lebanon. This airstrip, only 20 kilometers from the Israeli border, has been a joint base for Hezbollah and Iran, plotting aerial attacks against Israel. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had previously exposed this base in September 2023, highlighting the visible Iranian flags on the runways. Gallant emphasized that while the land is Lebanese, the control is distinctly Iranian, with Israel being the intended target. This attack is a direct response to the growing threat posed by Iran, often using Hezbollah and other proxies in its conflicts against Israel. With this stike, Iran's threat to Israel has escalated significantly. In these times, the role of Zaka Tel-Aviv becomes even more critical. Our dedicated volunteers are relentlessly providing support and assistance the people of Israel. We are committed to offering aid, comfort, and essential preparedness training, ensuring the safety and resilience of our communities in the face of these growing threats. |
