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.
