Praise God for these successful operations and for the safe evacuation of patients and civilians. Pray that the nations will finally see that Hamas uses the ill and infirm as protection with no regard for their safety—even firing at the hospital itself—while Israel provides protection, medical care, food and safe evacuation while assisting Palestinian medical teams even as they are attempting to achieve military victory while causing minimal damage to the hospital. Beseech the Lord that Hamas and PIJ will indeed feel the weight of these IDF actions causing great “reverberations on their capabilities.”
