2 Terrorist Attacks in 2 Days—In an attempt to torpedo peace talks underway between Palestinians & Israelis, Hamas gunmen attacked Israelis in their cars in 2 separate incidents. Four Israelis were killed in the first shooting, & two were injured in the second attack yesterday. The couple in the second attack said the terrorist's gun malfunctioned enabling them to escape. Please pray the Lord thwarts the plans of Israel's enemies & that the defense establishment is able to root out Hamas terrorists in the West Bank. For more: West Bank Shooting, Miracle to be Alive

Settlers Launch Reprisal Attacks—In response to the last 2 days' shootings, groups of settlers entered Hebron & begin throwing stones at Palestinians. In another incident, settler youth were caught trying to burn a Palestinian field. The attacks came during the funerals of the four Israelis who were murdered in the first terrorist attack. Please pray settler leadership request restraint, that those planning reprisal attacks against Palestinians would be found out & stopped. Please pray for a divine conviction & fear of the Lord to fall upon those who believe in reprisal killings of Palestinians. For more: Settlers Launch Reprisals
