Israel under Attack: Update and Prayer Points

You’ve probably seen and heard the horrific reports coming out of Israel. At 6:30AM on October 7, Israelis in southern Israel were awakened by the sound of sirens, warning them to take shelter from incoming rockets. Around the same time, Hamas terrorists breached the border with Israel and began wreaking havoc in Israeli communities, murdering some and taking others hostage.

Video from a barrage of rockets fired at the Tel Aviv area on Saturday night. Emmanuel Fabian, Twitter

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement: “Citizens of Israel, we are at war. Not an operation, not a round [of fighting,] at war! This morning Hamas initiated a murderous surprise attack against the state of Israel and its citizens,” Netanyahu said in his filmed statement in Hebrew.

We wanted to give you an update on the current situation, with two things in mind:

  1. Prayer points: Israel needs our prayer, now more than ever!
  2. Accuracy: There are many rumors, conflicting reports, and outright falsehoods making their way around the internet. The following information is from official, and other reliable sources.

Situation Update as of 10/10/23 6:30PM Israel Time

  • So far, more than 900 Israelis have been murdered, and another 2200 wounded, with the numbers continuing to rise.
  • The IDF has said they are in control of all Israeli territory, though terrorists from Gaza may still be hiding out.
  • The IDF has ordered the evacuation of communities around Gaza and is targeting terrorist posts inside the strip.
  • According to the IDF, hundreds of terrorists were involved in the infiltration from Gaza, taking more than 100 hostages.
  • 4500+ rockets have been fired continually from Gaza into Israel.
  • Israel has called up more than 300k reservists for military duty.
  • In northern Israel, there has been some artillery fire and attempted infiltrations.
Check out The Israel Guys, Honest Reporting and JNS.org for reliable, factual updates on the situation.

More than 100 Israelis have been kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. Pray for their safe return!

Pray for:

  • Protection for those under threat of rocket fire.
  • Strength and speedy rescue for those kidnapped by terrorists.
  • Wisdom for Israel’s leaders to effectively defeat their enemies.
  • Quiet on other fronts, especially: Lebanon, where Israel faces Hezbollah. Other places inside Israel, where Hamas is inciting Arabs to attack Israel from within.
  • Peace and comfort for Israelis suffering from fear and pain.

The Word of the Lord endures forever

I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
Psalm 121

Violence shall no more be heard in your land,
devastation or destruction within your borders;
you shall call your walls Salvation,
and your gates Praise.
Isaiah 60:18

My prayer to the Mighty One of Israel in these perilous days of war:

(Isaiah 64: 1-2)
“If only You would rend the heavens and come down,
so that mountains would quake at Your presence,
as fire kindles the brushwood
and causes the water to boil,
to make Your name known to Your enemies,
so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!”

I stand with you in prayer!

2024 – Psalm 124

124

124:1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—

124:2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

124:3 when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;

124:4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,

124:5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

124:6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

124:7 We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

The Bible says to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon formed against you will prosper, " and Psalm 91: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide in the presence of El Shaddai.” “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the LORD (Deut. 32:35).”
May The Lord destroy His enemies & scatter them about! Shalom to Gods first love! ❤️🇮🇱🇮🇱🙏🏻🙏🏻

We have sent love offerings to you. We’re praying for you. The Lord said, “Touch not the apple of my eye”!!! With all our love, we are with you in Spirit!

Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 122, praying for the Peace of the nation of Israel. Like Netanyahu said, the Eternal One of Israel will help fight this War. So we know and believe that God will arise and scatter His enemies, he neither sleeps nor slumbers. His glory shall be seen! Nations shall know He is the Almighty God and Israel is His! We pray, intercede and stand O Lord with Israel, this beautiful land in Jesus Name. Amen

~ With today being the weekly Shabbat and my birthday, I pray for the peace of Isra’el every day. Although I am not Isra’eli, I am a Messianic Sephardic Jew who, through Elohim, intercede for Y’Isra’el every day. Three scriptures came to my spirit: Zechariah 2:8: He who touches Isra’el, touches the apple of Yah’s Eye (that means don’t force Yah’s Hand). The second and third scriptures: Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon formed against you will prosper, " and Psalm 91: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide in the presence of El Shaddai.” “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the LORD (Deut. 32:35).” ~

Amos 1:7 & 8I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour her strongholds.
I will cut off the inhabitants of Ashdod, and him that holds the sceptor from Askelon,
I will turn my hand against Ekron and the remnants of the Philistines shall perish,
Says The Lord God.

I am praying for the beautiful land and the beautiful people of Israel! May the Lord bless and deliver and send His help quickly. I am asking the Lord to please rescue those being held captive and cause the enemy to forget to harm them. Send distractions, sickness, extreme confusion and deep division amongst those who hold these sons and daughters of Abraham captive. Send angels to comfort and provide and protect them. Let them know they are not alone. That You Oh Lord will not abandon them! I pray for deliverance Lord! In the name I love more than anything Jesus the Messiah! AMEN

It pains my very soul to see Israel going through all of this, it even hurts more how the world reacts to these situation that been going on for far too long. They react with bigotry skepticism and just plain ignorance. I pray to God most high that he heals all wounds, mental, physical and spiritual, that he be with the brokenhearted and lead in the finding all the hostages and bring them safely back home where they so rightfully belong. Please hear our prayer LORD!
