Earlier today (Thursday), Israeli officials warned 100,000 Palestinians to evacuate, likely ahead of a military strike.  However, Hamas is urging citizens to stay put.  Unbelieveable!

Israel has sent similar warnings (via leaflets and calls to citizens’ homes) in times past just prior to major military operations.  Please pray for these citizens, many of whom are simply caught in the crossfire.  Many are opposed to Hamas’ firing of rockets into Israel and genuinely desire peace and the opportunity to raise their families in safety and stability.

Pray, dear friends, pray!  These people need our prayers, as do the citizens of Israel who are enduring rocket fire.
