ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone's parents are among about 50 people affiliated with a Naples, Florida-based church returning from Israel.
Anzalone posted on social media Thursday morning that his parents are headed home.
"Thank you to everyone who has been saying prayers for my family and their safety. It's been a scary, anxiety filled several days but my parents are headed home safely," he posted to X. "So many people to thank but I know this, God is good."
Sal and Judy Anzalone were in a Jerusalem hotel as Israel vowed an unprecedented offensive against Hamas after the Islamic militant group's fighters broke through the border fence Saturday and stormed into the country's south.
