For nine months, Israel has contended with attacks from Iran-backed terrorists on multiple fronts. Last night, Houthis from Yemen succeeded in murdering an Israeli, 50-year-old Yevgeny Perder, in a drone attack on Tel Aviv. Thankfully, reports indicate that the U.S. military was able to intercept additional UAVs and missiles, protecting untold numbers of innocent lives. The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia condemns this vile terrorist attack, mourns the loss of life, and will continue to stand by Israel as the country defends itself and protects its citizens.
