Fox News has just reported that Iran and its proxies could attack Israel within the next 24 hours in retaliation for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in late July, citing sources in the Middle East. What makes this attack even more troubling is that these next 24 hours coincide with Tisha B'Av, a day of profound significance in Jewish history. Tisha B'Av commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem, a day marked by mourning and reflection on the tragedies that have befallen our people throughout history. As we observe Tisha B'Av, we find ourselves once again facing the threat of enormous destruction. Iran's looming threat serves as a chilling reminder that the dangers to Israel are very real and present. This is why supporting Zaka Tel-Aviv is so critical right now. We are on high alert, prepared to respond to any emergency that may arise in these perilous times. Your support enables us to continue our vital work, ensuring the safety and well-being of our communities. |
