Praying friends, will you take some time to petition the Lord of Hosts for His protection over Israeli citizens?  There have been two attacks by Palestinian terrorists today.  The first attack occurred in Tel Aviv when an Israeli soldier waiting at a train stop was stabbed multiple times by a Palestinian teenager living illegally in Tel Aviv.  The attacker was unsuccessful in taking the soldier’s gun, and was found hiding in a building only 200-300 meters away.

Only a few hours later, a recently-released prisoner tried to run over Israelis at a bus stop in the West Bank.  That attempt was unsuccessful, so the Palestinian man got out of his car and began stabbing Israelis.  A 25-year-old woman is dead and two more are injured.  Israeli security forces shot the man in the chest and he is in critical condition.

Violence continues to erupt in various parts of Israel, at the incitement of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.  Please pray for God’s hand of protection upon all people in Israel, for wisdom for security forces, and for the peace of Jesus Christ…the Prince of Peace…to reign upon Jews, Palestinians, Arabs, and every other people group in the Middle East.

Thanks for joining me in prayer!
