Hamas' Holiday Attack on Israel: Unprecedented Brutality and Death Toll

Hamas terrorists carried out a coordinated attack on Israel described as Israel's 9-11, resulting in a rising death toll, including at least nine Americans. The brutality of the attack, which involved mutilation and parading of bodies, has shocked many. The Gaza-Israeli border music festival saw hundreds of young people celebrating before armored vehicles and Hamas terrorists stormed the scene, leading to the deaths of around 260 of the festival goers. Shocking videos emerged, including one of Shawnee Loki, a German-Israeli woman who was seen displayed seemingly dead or unconscious in the hands of terrorists. Reports suggest that many civilians, children, and grandmothers have been kidnapped and held hostage as human shields by Hamas in various locations across Gaza. The situation is escalating, with the possibility of a ground invasion and involvement of other militant groups like Hezbollah and Iran.
