On October 7, 2023, Israel was subjected to one of the most barbaric and genocidal attacks in its history. This assault, carried out by Palestinians with the explicit goal of destroying the state of Israel, involved approximately 6,000 terrorists. Among them, 3,800 were members of Hamas, UNRWA, and other Gaza-based terrorist organizations, while 2,200 were Gazan civilians who willingly joined in the slaughter.
The massacre led to the brutal murder of approximately 1,163 individuals, including innocent Israeli and foreign citizens. Among the victims were defenseless babies, children, women, and the elderly, slaughtered in acts of calculated brutality. The attackers also targeted Israeli security personnel, resulting in the deaths of 301 heroic IDF soldiers, 55 police officers, and 10 Shin Bet personnel who sacrificed their lives to defend their country.
This attack was a clear act of Palestinian terrorism, aimed at achieving genocide. It was marked by unparalleled savagery: families were massacred in their homes, over 360 innocent people were slaughtered at the Supernova music festival, and scores of civilians were abducted into Gaza.
The October 7 massacre is a chilling reminder of the genocidal ideology driving Hamas and its supporters. Their actions reflect an uncompromising commitment to the destruction of the Jewish state and the extermination of its people. This heinous event demands not just condemnation but a resolute global effort to eradicate terrorism and its enablers.
