Yael Eckstein and her family, who live in Israel, have heard rockets explode day and night for nearly two weeks. Eckstein, who leads the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, lives near Jerusalem with her husband and four children. She says the most recent Hamas-Israel conflict has affected her family, and all of Israel, in a deeply personal way. “In the past 10 days, we have been living in our bomb shelters," Eckstein says, adding: “Just today alone, for an hour straight, there were just rocket barrages on Israeli cities.” As president and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, Eckstein oversees a team that is providing humanitarian aid to Israelis. The organization has set up mobile bomb shelters across the country. Eckstein joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain what life is like in Israel now and what America and the world should know about the conflict with Hamas. *Please note that the interview with Eckstein was recorded before Israel and Hamas agreed to a cease-fire.
