Since the Oct. 7 massacre, Israel’s war with Hamas has been at the forefront of the bizarre debate that is only sparked when Jews dare to defend themselves against attempted genocide. But since that horrific day, Israel has also been fighting another enemy that, until recently, has largely gone unnoticed.

On Oct. 8, in solidarity with Hamas, Lebanon-based Hezbollah started firing rockets and other artillery at Israeli civilian areas in Northern Israel, forcing almost 100,000 Israelis from their homes. These strikes, funded and enabled by Iran, have been relentless and deadly. As is always the case, it’s not even “just” Israelis who are falling victim to one of the many Islamic terrorist groups that don’t care how old or young, strong or weak, military or civilian, or Jewish or non-Jewish their victims are. For example, on July 27, one rocket hit a soccer field in Majdal Shams, a Druze town in the Golan Heights, killing 12 children and young adults and injuring dozens more people.
