News Update

The IDF carried out a targeted strike Thursday in the Beirut area, attempting to kill Ali al-Husseini, commander of the missile array in the Imam Hussein Division, a militia that assists Hezbollah and is linked to Iran. The result of the attack is not yet clear. On Wednesday the IDF eliminated the terrorist Imad Hassan Hussein Aslim, the Deputy Commander of the Gaza Brigade and the Commander of the Zeitoun Battalion in Hamas’ Military Wing. Aslim commanded the battalion’s terrorists infiltration into Israeli territory during the brutal October 7th massacre.

While the IDF protects Israel from within Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, we wait to see what comes out of the negotiations between Iran and the U.S. President Trump has stated that he wants more Arab and Muslim countries, particularly the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia, to sign onto the Abraham Accords as part of a larger agreement. That would obviously be a great victory for Israel and the entire Middle East. The question of Iran’s nuclear program and their ballistic missile program is also top of mind for Israel. So we’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the next few days.

Let’s pray for a positive outcome for Israel, the U.S. and all those who seek true peace.
