Valley Stream, NY -– In a show of support for the beleaguered country of Israel, and in the hopes of providing strength and comfort to tens of thousands of Israelis who are under constant attack, Israir Airlines has announced that it will sponsor a Solidarity Mission to Israel.

Entitled ‘Project Shabbat Shalom,” the vital mission will take place the weekend of July 28, and will include many American supporters of Israel, who wish to provide moral, emotional, and spiritual support to the people of Israel who have been forced to disrupt their lives and evacuate their homes, and have been living in fear in the recent days. The group will also pay visits to victims of rocket attacks, as well as some of the many children who have been affected by recent tragedy.

Daroci looked at the drawing again Tuesday afternoon.

Then he looked at Brandon J. Fritz, a 21-year-old sprinkler installer from Lakewood being questioned by Old Bridge police about an attempted assault in their town.”
