Last week, the Druze town of Majd Al-Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights was hit by a rocket which killed 12 children and young people. Israel immediately blamed Hezbollah for the attack which was quickly denied by the Lebanese group. Following the attack, Netanyahu postponed the departure of 150 sick and wounded children in Gaza to receive treatment in the UAE. Israeli government officials who visited Majd Al-Shams were met with protests by the Druze town, calling them to leave.
God of peace, comfort the families who are mourning their loved ones. Protect their mourning from being appropriated by political agendas and assure them you see and know their pain. Lord, we plead you to stop the abusive power games by empires who cause so many lives to be lost.
Lord in your mercy… hear our prayer
