Breaking News: Israel and Syria Need Urgent Prayer
for Escalating Crisis
Dear Mary,
The need for prayer is urgent. The world community is outraged
over the news of Syriašs WMD chemical weapons attack on its own
people. World powers are moving swiftly to respond militarily
against Syriašs Assad-led government. The Jerusalem Post reports
that the US is carefully contemplating a military response and
that Britain and France have drawn up plans to attack. Turkey
has called for action and the Arab League demands Assad face
justice for the genocide. Both Syria and Iran have threatened a
retaliatory attack on Israel if any military action is taken
against Syria by the West, claiming such action against Israel
would be justified.

The Times of Israel reported today that Syria has begun
evacuation of key security centers, taking seriously the
overwhelming world response against them and the impending
attacks on their military targets.
Two years of fighting in Syria have left more than 100,000 dead
and nearly 2,000,000 refugees. The Syrian government has
recently been winning on the battlefield, driving rebel forces
out of cities they had previously captured. U.S. military action
could reverse that balance of power once again, depending how
long and how severe any strikes might prove to be.
The fear in Israel has long been that Syriašs WMD stockpiles
might be captured by terrorists and then used against the Jewish
civilian population. Reports indicate a massive rush as people
try to find gas masks for their familiesespecially their
children. The situation is critical and we must give urgent
prayer to it. Attacks on Syria could come swiftly and if Syria
and Iran follow through with their threats, Israel could face a
deadly assault to which Prime Minister Netanyahu has gravely
warned a certain and strong response.

The need for our prayers and support of Israel and the Jewish
People today is urgent. I want you to know how much I appreciate
your love and help for my Jewish brothers and sisters. And I ask
