Some 300 Jewish immigrants from Ukraine are expected to arrive in Israel on Sunday as part of a joint operation led by the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, the Jewish Agency for Israel and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

The new immigrants are coming on three separate flights from Warsaw, Moldova and Romania and will include 100 orphans from Lasi.

They will be met at the airport by Minister of Aliyah and Integration Pnina Tamano-Shata, acting Jewish Agency chairman Yaakov Hagoel, and Fellowship president and CEO Yael Eckstein. Their emergency immigration was funded by the Jewish Federations of North America, Keren Hayesod and individual donors from around the world.

The Ministry of Aliyah and Integration will provide each immigrant with an extended benefits package and will arrange temporary housing in hotels across the country.

The two men were hit by “friendly fire” during a nighttime raid.
“This attack not only affects us, but is also a signal to the Jewish community in the Netherlands,” the Christians for Israel nonprofit said.
If the Iranians do not reach an agreement with Washington, there will be hell to pay, the U.S. president warned.
At least five people were wounded by enemy cluster munitions in central Israel. “It breaks my heart, I had a special home,” a Ramat Gan resident said.
Of course Iranians want to topple the Islamists, “they don’t have anything to eat,” INSS expert tells JNS. But the obstacles remain formidable.

The Israel Defense Forces continued to execute strikes in Iran over the Passover holiday.
