Agudath Israel of America is horrified by the news of terror attacks in Jerusalem, Israel. The terrorist placed bombs, filled with nails and shrapnel, to kill and injure as many people as possible at bus stops, detonating them at a time when children and adults are making their way to school. The bombings left 18 people injured and a 16 year old boy – on his way to Yeshiva – killed.
We join our Jewish brothers and sisters, and all people of good faith, in mourning the innocent victims of these murders and we wish their families comfort among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. We pray for a speedy recovery for those injured.
May Hashem, the Guardian of Israel, protect His people.
