Saeed Abedini freed from Iranian jail
Four Americans have been released from prison in Iran, including Pastor Saeed Abedini. The others released are Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian, Marine veteran Amir Hekmati, and an undisclosed person. The release was part of a prisoner exchange between the United States and Iran.
Samaritan’s Purse President Franklin Graham has tirelessly advocated for Pastor Saeed’s release and encouraged prayer for him.
“We have confirmed that Pastor Saeed Abedini has been released from prison and is in the Swiss Embassy in Tehran along with three other Americans. They will be making their way home in the next few days,” he said this morning. This is an answer to prayer, and we praise the Lord for how He has worked. I know the family would appreciate your continued prayers in the days ahead.”
Pastor Saeed’s Story:
Formerly a devout Muslim, Pastor Saeed was saved by the Lord Jesus Christ in his Tehran bedroom more than a decade ago. After establishing numerous house churches, he eventually moved to the United States with his wife, Naghmeh.
He later returned to Iran with the government’s permission to build an orphanage. He was initially detained in late July 2012 while visiting family in Tehran. Then, on September 26 of that year, members of the Revolutionary Guard raided his parents’ home and took Pastor Saeed to an unknown location. Four days later, his family was informed that he was in solitary confinement in the notorious Evin prison.
“Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners” (Psalm 146:5-7).

Arab terrorist murders Otniel woman in her home
An Israeli woman was murdered in a stabbing attack late Sunday afternoon in Otniel, a town in the southern Har Hevron region of Judea.
The woman has since been identified as 39-year-old Dafna Meir, a mother to six children, two of them foster children. She waas initially critically wounded in the attack and succumbed to her wounds shortly after.
The Arab terrorist who carried out the attack succeeded in breaking into the town, entering the woman's home and murdering her before fleeing the scene.
The woman, who works as a nurse, fought with the terrorist at the entrance to her home as her children were nearby, according to testimony. The children did not see the attack but heard her shouts and came running, and then called up security forces to hunt the murderer.
Security forces are currently pursuing the terrorist, aided by a helicopter, and residents of the town were asked to stay in their homes during the manhunt. The IDF has clarified that the terrorist is no longer in the town.

Israel’s First “Adir” F-35 Fighter Jet on its way
The head of Israel’s defense delegation to the US, Aharon Marmarosh, has signed off on the first F-35 fighter jet, received from American military and defense company Lockheed Martin, Israel National News reported Sunday. The two parties celebrated the near completion of the jet, nicknamed “Adir”, which will be finished and launched in June.
The ceremony took place in Fort Worth, Texas, and included the Israeli delegate signing over the completion of the external body of the plane. He wrote, “Onwards and upwards. May you succeed in all of your duties.”
With the body complete, work can now be started on vital internal systems, such as advanced electronics, as well as on the powerful engines.
“This is an historic day for the Defense Ministry and for Israel, wherein we receive the body of the first F-35 ‘Adir’ plane,” said Marmarosh. “The new F-35 planes – which are the fifth generation of planes, and the most advanced that the Defense Ministry has purchased – will allow for the continued advancement of the Israeli Air Force, and will greatly increase their capabilities of defending Israel against a variety of potential threats.”
“Today signifies the next step in tactical defense for Israel,” added Jeff Babione, head of the F-35 project for Lockheed Martin. “Lockheed Martin is pleased with the continuing and long-standing partnership with the IDF and the Israeli Defense Ministry. The F-35s will ensure continued partnership between Lockheed Martin and the Israeli Defense Ministry, as well as the Israeli Air Force, for decades to come.”
The F-35 is a Joint Strike fighter jet, which is a stealth jet. Thus far, the Israeli Defense Ministry has purchased 33 of these “type A” F-35’s, which are capable of regular takeoff and landing procedures. Each plane cost $110 million, for a total cost of over 3 billion shekels.
According to the purchase deal, originally signed in 2010, the first two planes will arrive in Israel later this year, with subsequent planes being delivered by year’s end, 2021.
