Dear friend and supporter, Yesterday, a ballistic missile launched from Yemen by Houthi rebels struck near Ben Gurion Airport, injuring six people and causing chaos. In response, Israel just launched airstrikes targeting Houthi infrastructure in Yemen. These sites were identified as key components in the Houthis' military operations. In addition, earlier today, a major announcement rocked the nation - Israel is preparing for a large-scale mobilization of reserve brigades and an expanded military operation in Gaza. With ceasefire negotiations at a standstill and Hamas refusing disarmament, Israel is on high alert—bracing for a possible new chapter in this ongoing war. The government’s decision comes amid growing political pressure and a complete lack of progress in hostage negotiations. Israel rejected an Egyptian-brokered proposal for a five-year ceasefire with Hamas in exchange for the release of all hostages—because it did not require Hamas to disarm. Hamas, in turn, refused any deal that involved putting down their weapons. With no viable agreement on the table, families—especially in towns near the conflict zones—are left facing renewed sirens, renewed trauma, and deep uncertainty about what tomorrow will bring. As we speak, Feed Israel is ramping up food aid, shelter support, and emergency relief for the most likely affected communities. But with military operations expanding, the need is growing faster than our resources. |
