Yesterday was the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot) in Israel, and like last year, people celebrated close to their homes. Last year, it was because of a pandemic; this year because of violence.
The most recent number I've seen at the time of writing this blog post, since last Monday, Hamas has fired over 3,000 rockets at Israel.
The best summary I've seen so far for what's happening now is from Behold Israel's Amir Tsarfati. He gave this update last night from his home in the Galilee, steps away from his bomb shelter, with flashes in the background and the sound of F-16's taking off nearby.

Oh, and as Amir points out at the end, Shavuot comes 50 days after Passover. It's a celebration of when God gave the Law to Israel through Moses. And it was being celebrated almost 2000 years ago when the Holy Spirit came to the Upper Room with flaming tongues of fire. Which means one thing:
Happy birthday, Church!!!
(thanks for that reminder, Amir!)
