Moments ago, a terror attack occurred at a gas station in the yishuv of Eli, resulting in the tragic loss of two Israelis, one aged 17 and the other 31. This violent act, carried out by a terror cell of three, led to the immediate neutralization of one attacker and the subsequent apprehension of the others, who were armed with M-16s. In a separate but equally alarming development, reports have surfaced that Iran has given Hezbollah the green light to escalate attacks against Israel. This directive, aimed at responding to Israel's military actions towards Rafah in southern Gaza, was discussed in a meeting between IRGC Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani and Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. It indicates a likely increase in hostilities, adding to the already tense situation. Amidst these developments, the work of Zaka has never been more essential. Our volunteers are actively providing support in the aftermath of attacks, offering medical assistance to the wounded, and ensuring the dignified care of the deceased. The challenges we face are significant, with the constant threat of terror and the possibility of escalated conflict. Your support is crucial at this time. It enables us to sustain our operations and continue providing aid and support to those affected by such tragic events. Your generosity helps us remain prepared and responsive to the needs of our community. |
