As Israelis continue to process the horror that unfolded earlier this month when Hamas terrorists attacked and murdered innocent people, a sign of God\u2019s love and peace emerged. Yael Eckstein, CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), has been on the ground with her organization to provide food, resources, and comfort to victims and their families.<\/p>\n

She recently shared\u00a0an Instagram post\u00a0explaining her work, the dire situation, and the stunning image her staff observed in the skies as they continued to provide comfort. She wrote, \u201cAt the location in Israel where family members gather to identify the bodies of loved ones, The Fellowship has been providing them with mattresses, chairs, food, drink, phone chargers, and emotional support.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201c[Twenty-four-seven] for six days, we have had our volunteers doing shifts in this heartbreaking reality.\u201d But Eckstein said something incredible happened: \u201cGod spoke to them in the form of this stunning rainbow.\u201d She shared a picture of a beautiful rainbow stretching over relief workers helping victims deal with the unthinkable \u2014 and described the rainbow\u2019s significance to ailing and distressed Israelis.<\/p>\n
