Iran Attacks 12 Ships in 2 Weeks in Hormuz; Netanyahu Praises Colombia's Embassy Move to Jerusalem

Three years after the Hamas October 7th massacre, tributes came from the White House and from Christian leaders gathered in Jerusalem on Wednesday as thousands joined in remembrance and prayer.

Just as the Jewish people were on the verge of returning to their ancient homeland nearly eighty years ago, an ancient biblical treasure was emerging from the Judean Desert: scrolls hidden for nearly two thousand years.  CBN News had an opportunity to see the Great Isaiah Scroll on display in Jerusalem and take in the remarkable timing connecting the Dead Sea Scrolls to the birth of modern Israel.

This week, Israel is marking three years since October 7th, 2023, the deadliest day in the nation's history CBN News recently returned to the communities devastated that day and met with Christians who have come to Jerusalem with a message for the Jewish people: You are not alone.

This third anniversary of October 7th marks the first with no hostages remaining in Gaza. As communities continue to rebuild, CBN News visited the area hardest hit on that fateful day.

Israel marked three years since the October 7th Hamas massacre on Monday, lowering flags to half-staff. The National Remembrance Day is observed each year on the Hebrew calendar, two days after Simchat Torah, the holiday on which the horrific attack occurred in 2023.  

New details are emerging about the attempted hijacking of a FlyDubai flight bound for Israel. Investigators say the Omani co-pilot planned to use the plane as a weapon against Israel.

"Pastor Scudder, why do you talk so much about Israel?" a young lady recently asked. "It's quite simple," I replied. "From Israel came what is most important to me."  This question seems to be on the minds of many people today. Should Christians support Israel? My answer is an unequivocal, "Yes!"

Questions are growing about possible Iranian involvement in two terrorism-related incidents: the attempted hijacking of FlyDubai flight 1073 and a security incident near a U.S.-operated base in Britain. Meanwhile, the U.S. is moving additional military forces to the Middle East.
