It is through the EVP, in partnership with the Jewish Federations of North America, that Aston was sent to Jerusalem in 2017 and Southern Israel along the Gaza border in 2018, to respond to the serious Hamas terrorist arson attacks. Within about 90 days starting in May 2018, there were fires started along the Gaza border, in an attempt to burn Israel to the ground. This created a very dangerous critical situation for the Israeli people. Aston, along with 9 other American firefighters played an integral role in fighting these fires, which were being started by Hamas with their terror kites and balloons being flown into Israel from the Gaza Strip.
