The northern front heated up today, though hasn’t yet been proclaimed war. Hezbollah took credit for 19 points of attack over Thursday. Sirens warning of missile fire rang as far as Tzfat and Meron. Four rockets hit Kiryat Shemona, causing damage and fire—a 34-year-old man is suffering from shrapnel injuries with his condition classified as moderate, a 41-year-old man suffers from burns and his condition is now described as serious.

Israel War Summary – Day 26
The IDF made huge strides in Gaza, and their position is closing in on Gaza City, and nearly entirely cutting off Northern Gaza from the south (at midnight they were reportedly 800 meters away from doing so). Since the beginning of the fighting, the IDF has attacked more than 11,000 targets of the terrorist organizations. Attacks today included the elimination of the commander of Hamas’s anti-tank guided-missile array, Muhammad A’sar.
Israel War Summary – School Day?
“Mom, I can go back to preschool! There’s a lot of space in the bomb shelter in my school, and we’re big now, we won’t cry.”
I’m not sure. There are rumors that school might open in Be’er Sheva after this weekend, for the first time in over a month. It’ll be at a limited capacity—half days only, and maybe in capsules so that there aren’t too many kids being rushed to the bomb shelter at a time. We’re all craving some kind of normalcy, so I should be excited about it.
Israel War Summary – Day 24
Rocket and missile fire continues, including two barrages to the center, and one to Jerusalem and the area for the first time in almost two weeks. A huge barrage of rockets to Netivot resulted in two direct hits, one on an apartment, which it completely destroyed, and thank G-d was empty. In Ashkelon a factory was hit, causing a minor fire. No physical injuries were reported today.
The IDF is continuing to expand the ground operations in Gaza. Soldiers who are going in tonight on a special mission have asked that Jewish people and our friends worldwide pray for their success.
