JSpaceCanada strongly condemns the missile attack from the Iranian government on Israel which occurred in the late evening hours in Israel.
Additionally, we condemn and are heartbroken by the terror attack in Jaffa that left at least six Israelis dead and others wounded. We send our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and wounded.
While we are grateful that Israel’s defense systems were able to intercept the majority of incoming missiles, we cannot overstate the risk of this moment. Further escalation risks a regional war - one that will be catastrophic and lead to countless tragedies and destruction.
The Canadian government must do everything in its power to avoid further escalation, and focus on diplomatic avenues with which to stop a regional war, end the current fighting, and encourage political, not militaristic solutions to the conflict.
