The event, entitled"Gathering in Solidarity with Israel Under Fire," is scheduled for 12 p.m. on Boston Common. It is being hosted by Combined Jewish Philanthropies, the Israeli American Council of New England and the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, Israelis currently living in Boston and other elected officials are also expected to speak.
“We stand with the people of Israel. Their grief is our grief. Their outrage is our outrage,” added Jewish Community Relations Council CEO Jeremy Burton. “There can be no equivocation and no justification for the terrorists who chose to initiate this attack, taking the lives of at least 700 innocents including many elderly and children. As we’ve seen from the leaders of our community in the past day and as we gather, Boston stands with Israel in this time of tragedy.
As Israel hit more than 1,000 targets in Gaza and its tanks and drones guarded openings in the border fence to prevent more infiltrations, Palestinian militants continued firing barrages of rockets, setting off air raid sirens in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Video posted online appeared to show a plume of smoke near a terminal at Ben Gurion International Airport. There was no immediate word on casualties or damage.
