Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the centrist Yashar party, faces a formidable challenge in securing a governing majority as Israel confronts mounting security threats and deep internal divisions. Replacing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may prove difficult.

President Isaac Herzog assigned Eisenkot the mandate on Sunday after elections produced no clear parliamentary majority. Eisenkot has 28 days, with a possible 14-day extension, to secure at least 61 of the Knesset’s 120 seats.

His supporters include a predominantly Jewish bloc of 48 lawmakers and Arab-led parties holding 19 seats. Although Arab parties have offered to support his government or abstain, some Jewish lawmakers oppose a coalition dependent on Arab support. Eisenkot may therefore consider a minority government or an alliance with ultra-Orthodox parties traditionally aligned with Netanyahu.

Calling Israel’s situation a “challenging and fateful state of emergency,” Eisenkot urged trustworthy leadership amid conflicts on multiple fronts, declining international standing, and concerns about democratic institutions. He warned that the nation risked reaching “a point of no return.”

To broaden support, Eisenkot invited members of Netanyahu’s Likud and Religious Zionism parties to join his coalition if they uphold four principles: preserving Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, respecting its Declaration of Independence, requiring national or alternative civilian service for eligible citizens, and committing to Hamas’s destruction. The invitation excludes Netanyahu, whom Eisenkot has vowed not to serve under. Likud remains the largest individual party with 27 seats.

Eisenkot warned against further political paralysis, saying Israel cannot afford endless election cycles while facing such urgent challenges.

Please pray that the Lord would soften the hearts of Israel’s political leaders, granting them wisdom, humility, and unity to prioritize the nation above personal and party interests. Pray for a stable, effective government, faithful leadership, and an end to the political turmoil and divisions straining Israel.

Weapons caches containing rockets, explosives, firearms, and surveillance equipment, along with a Hezbollah military facility, have been discovered near United Nations positions in southern Lebanon, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The discoveries highlight what the IDF describes as Hezbollah’s continued use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes, including locations close to United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) outposts.

Near Meiss El Jabal, soldiers from the IDF’s Oded Brigade discovered a weapons cache inside a civilian home and storage facility, approximately 100 meters from a UN position. The weapons included Kalashnikov rifles, RPG launchers and rockets, a PK machine gun, fragmentation grenades, explosives, ammunition, and communications and surveillance equipment. The IDF also reported finding humanitarian aid boxes bearing Hezbollah and Amal insignia alongside the weapons.

In a separate operation near Et Tiri, soldiers from the Kfir Brigade Combat Team discovered an apartment approximately 250 meters from a UN position that Hezbollah allegedly used as a military facility. Inside, troops found surveillance equipment, combat gear, living supplies, and Hezbollah insignia.

The IDF said these discoveries demonstrate Hezbollah’s efforts to store weapons and establish military positions within civilian areas near UNIFIL outposts. Both brigades are operating within the security zone in southern Lebanon.

Although Israel says it remains committed to the ceasefire agreement, the military maintains that operations will continue to remove threats, prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding its capabilities, and protect civilians and soldiers.

Pray for God’s divine protection over Israel and Lebanon, shielding innocent civilians from violence and exposing hidden weapons and terrorist strongholds. Pray for the Lord’s covering over IDF soldiers, granting them strength, protection, and safe passage home to their families. Pray for God’s hand to bring lasting peace to Israel and the entire Middle East. May He expose evil, overcome hatred, heal broken hearts, and open the way for reconciliation, security, and a future free from fear and violence.

Cyberterrorists are finding a chilling new target: refrigeration systems protecting our food supplies and critical medical products.

This week, attackers remotely manipulated temperature controls at three French blood-service facilities, threatening stocks of frozen blood plasma. Investigators suspect access through an outside refrigeration maintenance contractor. Fortunately, alarms alerted staff in time to prevent damage.

An earlier attack in Israel demonstrates the potential consequences. In May, engineers at a food-processing plant discovered that cold rooms were warming after attackers remotely sabotaged the refrigeration system. They altered temperature settings and safety limits, opened valves, and changed passwords, locking engineers out. The attack destroyed compressors and caused costly replacements and extensive repairs.

“They didn’t just change the temperature. They changed the safety limits, opened the valves, locked the engineers out and burned the compressors. That’s physical damage from a keyboard,” said Omri Segev Moyal, CEO of Israeli cybersecurity firm Profero.

Profero attributed the Israeli attack to the Cyber Isnaad Front, a group believed to be linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. No public evidence connects the group to the French incidents. However, both highlight the growing threat of cyberattacks capable of causing real-world physical damage.

Refrigeration systems are attractive targets because they are often overlooked in cybersecurity planning. Despite protecting vital food and medical supplies, they are frequently treated as maintenance equipment rather than critical infrastructure. Remote connections used by outside contractors can create additional vulnerabilities.

As Moyal warned, “Nobody treats the fridge as a cyber asset.”

Pray that the Lord grants wisdom, discernment, and divine guidance to those responsible for hospitals, medical and food supplies, retailers, and critical industries in Israel and worldwide. May He expose hidden vulnerabilities, guide decisions, strengthen cybersecurity protections, and place a hedge of protection around the essential systems that preserve lives, sustain communities, and safeguard the vulnerable.

Laughter, new friendships, creative activities, heartfelt conversations, and, above all, encounters with God’s love made our recent children’s camp in Israel truly special. The greatest blessing was seeing four children invite Yeshua into their hearts!

Many children came from families facing difficult circumstances, and some had already
experienced more pain and trauma than any child should endure. Their parents, trusting our love and care, gladly entrusted them to us for this special weekend.

Our desire was to create a safe and joyful environment where every child could feel loved, valued, and experience God’s presence. The program included Bible lessons, worship, games, outings, and creative activities. The children especially enjoyed chocolate-making and learning to create beautiful flowers from soap.

Beyond the fun, we wanted to give these young hearts a break from life’s challenges and help them discover the Father’s tender love, hope, peace, and healing.

The heart of the camp was our Bible lessons and the meaningful conversations that followed. We were deeply moved by the children’s thoughtful questions about God, life, love, forgiveness, and faith. Their openness reminded us how deeply even the youngest hearts long for God’s truth and love.

Our greatest blessing came when four children prayed and invited Yeshua into their hearts. Praise the Lord!

Afterward, grateful parents shared how deeply the camp had touched their children. One father told us his son couldn’t stop talking about the camp, singing the songs he learned, and sharing Bible lessons about Yeshua’s teachings on love and respect with his family.

Please continue to pray that God’s Word will take deep root in these young hearts, that the children will grow in their relationship with Yeshua, and that His love and peace will guide them throughout their lives. Thank you for helping bring hope and the love of Yeshua to the next generation in Israel.
