GREENSBORO JEWISH FEDERATION
STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH ISRAEL

HAPPENING NOW

 


 

UPDATED DAILY:
Detailed Reports on The Israeli Palestinian Conflict
 
from The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center

 


 

On October 7, 2023, during the holiday of Shmini Atzeret, Hamas terrorists launched an unprecedented attack on Israel from Gaza, firing thousands of rockets, breaching the country’s borders, with significant numbers killed and hospitalized. The brutality of the terrorists was staggering. This attack has been the worst act of violence against the Jewish community since the Holocaust. Israel is now involved in a war to defend Itself.
