On October 7, Hamas broke its ceasefire with Israel and committed the most horrific terror attack in Israel’s history. More than 1,200 Israelis were massacred by a terrorist group openly committed to killing all Jews. Hamas kidnapped more than 240 people. Israel is responding to ensure Hamas can never carry out such an attack ever again.

While Hamas steals humanitarian aid and uses innocent Palestinians as human shields to protect its missiles, Israel uses its missiles to protect its families. Every innocent civilian life lost is a tragedy, and Israel works to minimize such deaths; despicably, Hamas intentionally takes actions to maximize Palestinian and Israeli civilian casualties.
