Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand stood alongside Jewish and other faith leaders to call for full military aid to be provided for Israel. 
The call comes as the Israel-Hamas War now enters its fifth day, and the demand for the federal government to provide full military aid includes two Iron Dome batteries. The Iron Dome is a defense program used to shoot rockets down over Israeli airspace.  
“Because of antisemitism for a millennium… we have to stand side by side with Israeli people and do what we can to provide support,” said Gillibrand.
