🚨 DAY 466 OF THE WAR 🚨

Sadly, in the midst of ongoing hostage negotiations, the IDF announced the tragic loss of five young soldiers, ages 19–23, in the northern Gaza Strip. These brave soldiers were killed when a building collapsed during a dangerous mission in Beit Hanoun. Ten others were severely injured, highlighting the ongoing risks our defenders face every day.

While the last hostage deal draft has been presented to Hamas, delays in the negotiation process only add to the uncertainty. Even if an agreement is reached, we must remain cautious. Hamas has betrayed Israel’s trust time and again, and the volatile situation makes it difficult to predict what lies ahead.

This heartbreaking loss serves as a reminder of the sacrifices Israel’s young defenders make to protect us. Their bravery inspires us, but the challenges they face—and the threats we all endure—are far from over.

Zaka Tel Aviv remains unwavering in our mission. We respond to every emergency, stand by the families of the fallen, and provide vital support to communities affected by this relentless conflict.

Your support enables us to continue this critical work. Together, we can ensure Zaka is ready to meet any challenge and provide hope and strength to those who need it most.

Thank you for your continued support during these uncertain times.
