Yesterday afternoon, I received a text in our family chat that our daughter Danielle witnessed a terrorist attack. It was nighttime in Israel, and she was having dinner inside a restaurant‚ one that we frequented when we lived in Tel Aviv. I called her up immediately and she was in shock, feeling sick.


A Moroccan national with a US green card had flown into Israel—Abdelaziz Kaddi. He was flagged by Israeli authorities and was questioned at the airport, but nevertheless, was granted entry.


Kaddi stabbed three people sitting in front of the restaurant before fleeing. Nachalat Benyamin Street is a trendy area in Tel Aviv where roads are often closed, and there are tables in the streets for the many small restaurants. Most nights, it is bustling. And yesterday was no exception.


Danielle said people began to scream and run to the back of the restaurant, glasses breaking everywhere, as people yelled “pigua!” (terrorist attack). It was quite a traumatic experience, as you can imagine.

The terrorist fled to an adjacent street, Gruzenberg, where we lived for two years. One of several off-duty special forces unit soldiers shot him in front of our old apartment, and he was neutralized. 



This is literally in front of our apartment, where we lived for two years. The terrorist is down, as the off-duty special forces surround him.

The soldier who shot him had been wounded in Gaza and said, "I fought in Gaza about a year ago, was wounded, and lost my right hand.”


“We came down from an apartment and saw a stabber dropping someone to the ground. We shouted to him to stop and fired when he didn’t comply,” said one of the off-duty soldiers. The attacker was able to stab one more person before being killed.


Two were wounded lightly and two are in stable condition. 


 

Prayer Requests:


  • Please pray for my daughter, as you can’t go through something like that and not experience trauma. Pray for a deep revelation of Yeshua’s healing power.


  • Pray for protection for all Israelis, as this was the second stabbing attack in three days.


  • Continue to pray that the hostages come home. Four women are to be released on Saturday—we don’t yet know who they are.


  • I leave this afternoon for Lithuania for three days of ministry with Aglow International. I love ministering to them. This is the third time I’ve been their keynote speaker at their European conference.


  • Air France canceled my flight home, but it has turned for good as I’m going to now get home a day early. Thank you for praying.
