9TH NOVEMBER, 2023

On the morning of October 7th 2023, thousands of Hamas terrorists infiltrated southern Israel from Gaza and massacred over 1,400 people, while indiscriminately firing over 9,000 rockets and taking at least 240 people, including children, hostage.*

The atrocities carried out by Hamas terrorists are unprecedented in their savagery and barbarism, a carnage and massacre against the Jewish people the likes of which has not been seen since the Holocaust. 

Hamas' actions were universally condemned, including by the United States, Europe, and many leaders around the world.
