Statement on Iranian Attacks on Israel

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation is proud to stand with Jewish Federations of North America in the following statement:

Jewish Federations condemn Iran's attacks against Israel—the first by a sovereign nation since Saddam Hussein launched scud missiles at Israel in 1991—in the strongest possible terms. 

Our communities stand in total solidarity with Israel and the IDF as they work to defend themselves from these brazen attacks, and pray for their safety. 

We are thankful that the United States and our allies are standing strong with Israel and helping to defend her against the Iranian threat.
