Tonight, Israel is embarking on a necessary strike against the terrorist murderers of Hamas. While Arabs have relentlessly fired missiles from Gaza, terrorizing the people of Israel, the Israel Defense Forces are intent on allowing the citizens of Israel to live a normal life. And Prime Minister Netanyahu is a leader determined to stand strong against Israel’s enemies.
And as Israel continues to desire peace, all nations realize that sometimes force is necessary. And as prayers for peace are said, so, too, must soldiers be prayed for.
The prayer for the Israel Defense Forces can be said by all: “May He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob — may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our God, from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea. May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighters from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor. May He lead our enemies under our soldiers’ sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is the Lord your God, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.”
Right now, the Israel Defense Forces ensures the future and security of the State of Israel. Stand with Israel.
