Dear friend, As I type this email, our homeland is facing an unimaginable crisis. In the last 24 hours, hundreds of rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, creating a dreadful spectacle in our skies and an atmosphere of terror on the ground. This has been the largest missile strike we've experienced in recent memory, with a frequency that has shaken us all to our core. The escalating tensions in our region are due to the Palestinian Resistance Factions' retaliation for an Israeli operation that assassinated three senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad officials, causing fear and uncertainty among our people. In the middle of this chaos, our brave volunteers at ZAKA Tel Aviv are working round the clock. They are putting their lives at risk, rushing to scenes of rocket strikes, offering aid, comfort and medical attention to those affected. They are our frontline soldiers, standing strong in the face of adversity, providing a beacon of hope for our people. We have been through such trying times before, and each time we were able to rise above the challenges because of the incredible support from friends and donors like you. Today, I am reaching out to you again, to ask for your assistance in this critical time. Your donation will enable us to equip our volunteers with the necessary resources and provide them the strength to continue their life-saving work. |
