An intense morning in the Iran-Israel "Lion Arising" War.

Israel continues to attack missile sites and nuclear facilities. Today there was an extra attack on parts of the Tehran 18th neighborhood where the leaders of the Ayatollah regime live.  All attacks are pinpointed at strategic targets, not civilians.

In Israel, people are repeatedly guarding the language that we are against the Islamicist regime and not against the people. Also repeating the evaluation, that most people in Iran don't want the regime and are open to good relations with Israel. Almost all Israelis want that.

This morning 30 missiles were shot directly into Israeli civilian centers (a clear violation of international war crime laws by any definitions). 4 got through defenses and hit neighborhoods in Israel.

1 hit a major hospital. (by miracle, the wing of the hospital had been cleared out yesterday!!!). 1 hit a school (another miracle, the government told the children to be kept home from school today, so no children were there). 2 others also hit residential areas.  Over 60 were wounded. No one has died so far.

Israel estimates that 200,000 people are leaving the Tehran area (after warnings from Israel to distance themselves from targeted areas).

At the same time, over 100,000 Israelis temporarily outside the country are begging to come back and doing everything they can to get back, despite the fact that the airport is closed. Israel is sending hundreds of planes and even boats to bring them home.

This is an amazing phenomenon. Perhaps the only people in the world that rush to get back when bombs are falling. Our instinct is to run toward and not run away… to our families, to the conflict, to our nation. Inexplicable.

Many religious Jews in Israel are noting that today is the 23rd of Sivan, the date in Esther 8:9 in which Haman's edict against the Jews was overridden.

Let's keep praying for total liberation for both the Iranian and Israeli people, for the destruction of the evil regime, and for a period of peace to follow.
