A group of 54 people touring Israel with First Baptist Church Fernandina Beach has safely crossed the border into Jordan after being trapped amid the violent conflict between Hamas and Israel.
Pastor Zach Terry said in an interview on The Morning Show that the group had just crossed into safe territory in Jordan.They were unable to fly out of Israel because several major airlines halted flights in and out of the country amid the fighting.Terry said the group is still navigating lodging and flights from Jordan back to the States and said it’s likely they’ll have to stay in Jordan until at least Friday or Saturday.
Palestinians inspect the rubble of the Yassin Mosque destroyed after it was hit by an Israeli airstrike at Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. At one point, the group was close to the border with Lebanon but then they moved toward Jerusalem when Hezbollah began to encroach into Israel. Terry said they could see the Iron Dome,
Terry said having Americans stand with them amid the terrorist attack means a lot to the people of Israel.
