Church Groups Stranded in Israel Amid Escalating Conflict

A group of about 50 people from a Christian church in Fernandina Beach, Florida, are currently trapped in Israel due to the ongoing armed conflicts between Hamas and Israel. The group, led by Pastor Zach Terry, is seeking assistance from the State Department and Senator Marco Rubio to coordinate an exit strategy. Flights in and out of Israel have been canceled, leaving the group stranded. The State Department has issued travel advisories for the region and is urging U.S. citizens to exercise caution. The church group is staying calm and hoping to find seats on any available flights to bring everyone home safely.
