Today, Israel faced a new barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles, setting off alarms nationwide and forcing Israelis into bomb shelters. Tragically, a woman suffered a fatal heart attack while sheltering in Karmiel, and at least 23 people were injured in Haifa, including a 16-year-old boy and two adults who were seriously wounded.

IDF Chief of Staff has issued a stark warning: while our military has achieved historic successes, destroying roughly half of Iran’s missile launchers and striking deeply into Iran’s nuclear and command infrastructure, "difficult days still lie ahead" in what he calls "the most complex campaign in our history." He emphasized that although earlier projections estimated this conflict might last only one to two weeks, it is now clear that we must mentally prepare for a prolonged campaign against Iran.

We must be prepared. Zaka Tel-Aviv's emergency response teams are on the ground, tirelessly aiding the wounded, providing critical care, and supporting families affected by these attacks. Your generosity helps save lives and ensures our teams have the resources they desperately need.

Thank you deeply for your compassion, solidarity, and generosity in this time of unprecedented need.

Yoni Gilboa
Director of Zaka Tel-Aviv
