Hamas fired 4500+ rockets at Israeli civilians over 11 days in May 2021.
One of those rockets hit & injured 90-year-old Holocaust survivor Naomi Pearlman.
Today, she sadly succumbed to those injuries & became another victim of Hamas terrorism.
May her memory be a blessing.

Today, we found this child’s backpack used by 2 Palestinians to hide guns & ammunition. Our soldiers noticed them acting suspiciously near an Israeli community, found the weapons, and arrested them.
A child's backpack should hold books, not weapons.
