On Sunday, a Houthi missile hit Israel’s Ben-Gurion airport, injuring 6 people. The attack was unprecedented. Israel’s many defense systems, for a brief moment, failed. What does this mean for the nation, and how should we interpret this?
Meanwhile, Israel on Monday approved a new plan in its war against Hamas. The Jewish nation now plans to capture the entirety of the Gaza Strip. Plus, the situation with Iran is tense as always. With so much going on, we encourage intercessors to read this prophetic word shared with us by William Koenig, an expert on Israel and the Middle East.
Israelās National Gateway Breached
Israelās Ben-Gurion Airport has long stood as a symbol of national strength and resilience. Throughout the years, it has withstood relentless threats from Iranian missiles, Hezbollah barrages, Hamas rocket fire, and launches by the Houthis. Its survival has often been attributed to Israelās superior missile defense systems ā Iron Dome, Davidās Sling, Arrow, and the U.S.-deployed THAAD. But for many, another shield has been equally responsible: the unseen hand of the God of Israel.

The Lifting of the God of Israelās Protective Hand
What occurred on May 4, 2025, was unprecedented. For the first time in Israelās history, a missile struck in the vicinity of Ben-Gurion Airport, evading both Israeli and U.S. defense systems. Though physical damage was limited and injuries were minor, the spiritual and prophetic implications were monumental.
This moment was more than a military lapse ā it was a divine message. The God of Israel, who has faithfully shielded this vital gateway to the nation, lifted His protective hand for one brief but consequential moment.
A Prophetic Wake-Up Call
Just weeks earlier, on April 7, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House. There, under pressure from the Trump administration, he was urged not to proceed with a preemptive strike on Iranās nuclear facilities. In that meeting, Netanyahu was informed that the United States intended to resume negotiations with Tehran ā a stunning reversal of prior positions and a blow to Israelās strategic posture.
President Trump assured that Iran would be held responsible for every missile the Houthis fired. And yet, today, one of those very missiles struck Israelās most sensitive infrastructure ā Ben-Gurion Airport.
Evading the Worldās Best Missile Defense Systems
Israeli military sources have confirmed that the missile, launched by Yemenās Iran-backed Houthi rebels, was a hypersonic ballistic weapon. It penetrated Israeli airspace and exploded near an access road to Ben-Gurion International Airport ā despite the deployment of Israelās Arrow and U.S. THAAD systems, which are specifically designed to intercept such threats.
The interception attempt failed due to a rare technical malfunction ā an alarming anomaly given the systemsā combined 95% success rate.
A Game-Changer for the Middle East and Trumpās Role
This historic breach comes just days before President Trump is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (May 13ā16). It also follows announcements of a major Trump real estate development in Qatar and the promotion of the Trump cryptocurrency initiative ā āTrump Coinā ā by Eric Trump at a financial forum in Abu Dhabi.
As President Trump and familyĀ continues to court deep investment ties in the Gulf, and as his Middle East envoy Steve Wikoff signals openness to Iranian engagement, todayās missile strike pierces more than Israeli airspace. It pierces assumptions about diplomacy, alliances, and divine favor.
Conclusion: When God Lifts His Hand
Israelās trust must not rest in human alliances or technological marvels. As history has shown, when Godās protective hand is removed ā even momentarily ā the most sophisticated systems cannot defend what only the Almighty can secure.
Todayās strike is a wake-up call. A divine warning. A call to return to covenantal alignment ā not only for Israel but for those who claim to stand with her. The shield that matters most is not made of iron or code ā it is the sovereign hand of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

There is only ONE who is Israel’s Ultimate Help!
To God be the Glory! That should be our cry! With Him and through Him only will we be able to climb the walls and win the war. Psalm 32 says I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide.
Thanks be to God and may Israel rely on God’s guidenance and depend on no one else.
Father God, stand as a protection against the forces of evil that would harm your Holy Land. We ask for the protection of your people and for a peace in all hearts. Be with the diplomatic efforts and we ask that America continue to stand as a friend to Israel. In Jesus’ name – Amen and Amen
Thank you for keeping us updated on what has been transpiring in Israel.
Father I come to you in the Mighty Name of Jesus to lift up your chosen ones, Israel. May they and all their leaders come to know Yeshua as their Lord and Savior. May they not put their trust in chariots and horses, but put their trust in the Lord their God.. We cry out for your hand protection to be upon them.
I lift up Israel in Prayer. God, please look over your child Israel and its people. Give them your wisdom and your protection and they open their ears up to you.
I lift up President Trump and pray that he also receive your wisdom and protection. I pray that what he is doing is for the good of the country and not for himself Heavenly Father. I ask that you exposed it if so.
I pray and lift up the United States and her people to find you your peace and comfort in their hearts and protection, along with wisdom and love for each other. I pray that non-believers will open their eyes and heart to you.
I pray for peace and comfort within my soul. You are God, of healing and peace and love and understanding. You give wisdom and protection to those that ask. Please look over us father and comfort us.
ā Israelās many defense systems, for a brief moment, failed.ā Just like Oct 7th. š¤¦āāļøš§
There is an appearance that Trump is using the Mid-East situation for his personal real estate and bit coin with his name on it.
2 Prayers: 1. That the God of Israel will be her guardian and shield andx Netanyahu will actively seek wisdom of God, 2. President Trump will actively and assiduously seek God’s will and obey it and not try to strongarm our allies.
Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered. May peace be in your walls Jerusalem. Father, I ask that you would draw their hearts back to you, that their eyes would be open to see you as their protector and provider of peace. May they come to know Jeshua as their Lord and Savior. We stand in the gap for Israel and ask you to protect them from these attacks. Let no weapon formed against them prosper. Give wisdom and discernment to their leaders and open their ears to hear your voice of guidance and be obedient to what you say. Bless them with peace! In Jeshua’s name, Amen.
Father, We praise Your Name for protecting Israel, we watch and wait for this Nation, may many come into the saving knowledge of their Savior
Dear Father, may You continue to protect Israel from those who hate them and want to annihilate them from the earth. May the United States always support Israel in their war against terrorism always. In the Lord Jesus Christ name, Amen.
Padre celestial te damos gracias porque como dice tu palabra nunca duerme el guarda a Israel. Tu protecciĆ³n permanente se convierte en un milagro cada dĆa.Hablamos al Ć”mbito que no se ve y le ponemos lĆmite al enemigo. AsĆ como inmediatez en la restauracion de todas las cosas
Lord thank you for Your mercy in the āwake upā incident , our reliance is on You . Your word is available , infallible, reliable. Prophetically a time is coming when no nation will stand with Israel.
We ask that you would remove ungodly counsel from Netanyahu and Trumpās inner circle. Put them in the hearing of Your word, Open the eyes of their heart to perceive what You are doing and know how to stand in Your will , Your way, choosing life and blessing, rather than death and cursing. Keep them from unholy alliances , give them courage to do what is right in Your sight. Bring alongside Your people to hold up their arms of prayer to You. Continue protecting Your people in Your power, might, and grace.
Thank you for using this source we trust! Thank you for establishing the prayer call for Israel, which we joined last night. Every nation’s destiny is inextricably linked to the destiny of Israel, so it is imperative that our nation bless Israel, if we wish to be blessed.
YHVH, after watching a video last night – commentary from a Saudi foreign relations officer, if I remember correctly – I realize that Qatar is not even trusted by other Muslim regimes. When asked if they are working on resuming relations with Qatar, he stated, “We want nothing to do with them.” I ask that any further involvement of our President or our government with Qatar would be cut off – especially financial investment. The middle east must not be seen as a financial investment opportunity. It must be seen as the epicenter of Your end-times restoration of the people and land and nation of Israel. Qatar harbors, finances, and exports terrorism, and should not be trusted by us either. Please deal with this issue decisively, Lord, and call both Israel and US to align with Your covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We desire Your protective hand to remain over both nations – for it is in You alone I trust. Reveal Yourself, YHVH, to both nations – through revelation of Yeshua as the promised Messiah of Israel and through them to the nations.
The land of Israel is not up for negotiation. The land of Israel belongs to God and He will not allow any actions by Israel or the United States to divide the land. This attack that penetrated the air space of Israel is a warning that God will not protect Israel if there are attempts to negotiate with those who are determined to destroy Isreal. Israel and America must obey the Covenant God has made with the Nation Israel.
Lord we pray for wisdom and understanding for the Leaders of America and Israel to obey Your Covenants with our two nations. Guide our leaders that they make decisions that honor You and in no way threaten Your hand of protection and blessing on our nations. We pray for protection over Israel and peace in Jerusalem.
Amen
Heavenly Father, protect Your chosen people and may they look to You alone, first and foremost for protection and direction in what they should do. You have said You will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who harm Israel. I pray President Trump listens to You, Lord God, Your voice and not the voices and guidance of men. May Trump want to please You more than men, fear You more than men, and seek Your wisdom not man’s. Like King David may He prefer to fall into Your hands rather than man’s. I pray he humbles himself and has the courage to stand with Israel rather than the world. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
This is very informative. Does fulfill scripture
Lord we thank you, our Holy Father for your protection and for your correction. Holy One, your will be done in Israel, your Kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven! Oh Lord, though we shutter at disobedience and its consequences, we bow low in trust that your plans are for Your Holy purposes and nothing will thwart them. Give is faith Lord as we wait on You!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Praying for the Israeli people. . Lord, open the eyes of your Chosen People. Show them their Savior is Messiah Jesus. Come to them in dreams. Put believers in their path. Humble them. Lord, I pray that you put your hedge of protection around them. I pray this in Jesusās name. Amen.
Amen! Praying for Israel
We are to pray and trust in God.
Pslam 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
We are to trust in God!
Isaiah 31:1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help
And rely on horses,
And trust in chariots because they are many
And in horsemen because they are very strong,
But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the Lord!
I totally agree. Israel must trust in God alone and align with Him.
Father, thank You for protecting Israel. Thank You that You keep covenant with Your people. Thank You for Your Sovereign actions that should cause a nation, the people of Israel and their leaders, to turn their eyes toward You, put their trust in You and cry out to You. Move in the hearts and minds of the leaders of Israel, the military, etc, to look to You and You alone for what to do, for protection. Open their eyes to see Your hand in this particular situation and what to do next. We must not “shake hands” with enemies of Israel. Direct and protect as You always do. Let Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done. Amen.
Trust Him!
Oh dear God, You are our heavenly Father. We intercede for Your people Israel and the land You love and gave to Your inheritance. I pray the spirit of God to burst forth in the hearts, minds, and souls of the Jewish nation. Father, we Christians stand and pray for the peace of Jerusalem – Shalom. Your will be done here on earth. Thank you Lord
Yes – This got my attention! Thanks for bringing out the spiritual significance! Ran into a man who asked me where I got my pin from US Israel and told him we were praying for his national, but should have been bolder asking him if he wanted some answers to questions he was asking God that are answered in Isaiah 53 & the New Testament.
Praying over the nation of Israel ā
āPsalms 121:4 (NKJV) Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.ā
Praying over the people of Israel —
āEphesians 6:10-18 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places.] 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints– ā
Lord, have mercy on Your people Israel!
I’m less excited about Trump’s rationale for the Middle East than I was when he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol by moving the US Embassy there1-3 from TelAviv. Lord, please give POTUS better discernment on Genesis 12:1-3, and put it in his heart to stand with Israel regardless of DJT’s business endeavors.
Wow. I think this article was so well written. I appreciate the tone and the way such events are being reported and shared. Our God is mighty to save and it is our job to see the evil, but to be unwavering in the goodness and power and sovereignty of our King and Savior. This article inspires that faith stance in such times and in these tragic events in our world. I am grateful to be a subscriber to IFA and its truly Godly contributors.
Lord of Hosts, we thank You for any and all grace You willingly show Israel. As Your Word says, it’s not because they are great in number or have done anything to merit Your protection, but because of the love He has for you and His faithful covenant with Abraham. Please stop trusting in man or yourselves, but recognize and acknowledge the God You say you serve, is Jesus Christ! He is Lord of Heaven and earth and all authority has been given to Him. We pray for your protection but moreso for your national and individual salvation!
Iran will use the American diplomatic initiative to forestall Israel , but eventually with or without President Trumps blessing, Israel will launch the overdue attack.
The Church of Jesus Christ, our Yeshuah HaMashiach, must stand and fight for our beloved Israel, regardless!
I unite my faith and prayers with intercessors across the globe for the peace, safety, and continued favor of God and man upon Israel. May the government, military, and people of Israel come to know their Messiah personally, and put their trust in His mighty power alone to save them from their enemies. Send revival fire to your people, oh Lord! š„
No weapon formed your people and your land will be able to prosper in Yeshuah’s mighty name. Amen!
šā„ļø š®š±
Amen and amen, Sister Grace!
