The Congregation of Zion church in Stockton, California is showing solidarity with Israel during Operation Protective Edge by staging a mock air raid drill that allows members to experience what Israelis are going through as civilians run for cover from Hamas rockets aimed indiscriminately at population centers.

The video of the air raid drill, posted on YouTube and covered by the Times of Israel, has gone viral:

The church’s website devotes an entire section to “Standing with Israel,” declaring: “We believe Israel is God’s special people, distinct from the body of Messiah, chosen by Him to be a holy nation and a kingdom of priests.”
