My friend’s husband ended up coming home for the weekend. We saw him yesterday. He’s off up to the north again today, but hopefully will remain far from the fighting.

As experienced citizens of Israel you well know of the many devices that terrorists use to spread destruction and fear within the people of your country.
These are not G-d loving people. Of course there are plans to divert attention from one source and create a diversion, this is nothing new. The United States and other countries have used tactics like this however to murder unarmed civilians is not the will of G-d. When children become disobedient and are handed over to their enemies which has happened in the past, they used the sword or harshly rebuked them. Terror tactics and inhumane torture is never the will of G-d. There are war crime tribunals and laws to follow even during times of incredible stress and war. Terrorist are lawless for the most part and do not use conventional wisdom or war tactics, that makes them a very dangerous adversary to deal with. That is why G-d appoints individuals and wise counsel to rid the world of wickedness and hopefully decrease sin against humans.
There are officials in government that are trained to watch over the people and yet even higher officials over them. You need not worry, there is nothing hidden from the Holy One of Israel, nothing hidden from His eyes. There is Justice for His people. May G-d’s love and protection be with you.
