[Emergency Prayer] Israel&Palestine War 15

1) Gaza Strip_Jabalia Refugee Camp

Jabalia is the largest of eight refugee camps in Gaza. Due to the nature of refugee camps, the population density is very high, so there is a lack of living space, and in the event of an air raid, it is expected to cause of a lot of casualties. This has been the site of frequent clashes between the Israeli military and Hamas for a long time. On the 31st, Israeli air strikes caused many casualties in the northern Jabalia refugee camp. It was reported that an airstrike was carried out by the Israeli military on an apartment building in a residential area of a refugee camp. The Israeli military said in a statement that it had taken control of the base of the Hamas Jabalia Battalion, which contained underground tunnels, rocket launchers, and weapons warehouses.

2) Southern Israeli city_Ashdod

Ashdod is a city in southern Israel bordering the Mediterranean Sea and is the 6th largest city in Israel. It is 35 km away from the capital Tel Aviv. It has the largest port facility in Israel and currently has a naval base, preparing for multi-faceted warfare operations that will apply pressure from the air, land, and sea. This city was one of the five major cities of ancient Philistine and the center of Dagon worship. Ashdod is the place where the Philistines won the battle against Israel and took the Ark of God.

Since the war began, Hamas has continued to bombard Ashdod, Sderot, Ashkelon, and Tel Aviv in southern Israel with missiles, and sirens are ringing in Ashdod every day due to missile and drone attacks. The constant sounding of sirens forces people to move to the shelter several times a day. They said they feel shocked and scared every time they hear sirens. On the 24th, a child died after being admitted to the hospital due to a heart attack at the sound of a siren. It is said that seeing rockets and drones being intercepted randomly every day causes great psychological pain and fear as if they are actually falling on one's head.

[Prayer Requests]

1. Refugees in the Gaza Strip who had been living together as war refugees have become war refugees again. Would you wipe away the tears of the suffering refugees in Gaza and show them mercy so that no more lives die in vain. Please take away all the anger in the hearts of refugees and may their only hope be Yeshua, the true shepherd.

2. Please protect the souls of Ashdod who are suffering from trauma and fear due to the continued missile bombardment and sirens, and help them find Lord Yeshua during their tribulation. Please help Ashdod, which means a strong place and fortress, to come to the Lord God who is now our refuge and fortress.

3. Cut off the works of death among all Israel and Palestine, and raise us up as a nation that now carries your cross and follows your path.

Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works (Titus 2:14)

Amen Lord! Jesus died on the cross for us, lived again, and called us to be the people who do the Lord's work. Please forgive all the sins of Israel and Palestine, who do not follow this cross and are at war with each other, trying to kill each other.

Lord, please raise the churches in Israel and the land of Palestine into people who pray first, spread the gospel faster than death, and become zealous in your work and follow you.

Would you quickly reduce all the days of death and suffering that fill this land, and let the gospel of the cross that gave His life for us cover this land. Please guide us so that people who follow only Yeshua, the truth and true love, can arise throughout Israel and Palestine!
