Israel-Palestinian Conflict

While the US and the Israeli military said they do not yet have concrete evidence of Iran’s involvement in Hamas’ devastating surprise October 7 attack on Israel, the Wall Street Journal reported exclusively on Sunday that the Iranian regime helped the Palestinian terrorist rulers of the Gaza Strip to launch the ongoing war. Vehemently antisemitic, Iran’s Islamic regime is the world’s greatest sponsor of terrorism; it supports the Hamas terror group in Gaza and the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon, both of which are committed to the destruction of Israel.

Israel mobilized a record 300,000 reservists and imposed a complete siege on the Gaza Strip to respond to a multi-front Hamas terror group attack from Gaza, the chief military spokesperson confirmed.

The Israeli military says the attacks launched by Hamas on Saturday are like the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, with more than 700 people now confirmed dead in Israel. “This is our 9/11 – they got us,” says a spokesman, while another compares it to the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack by the Japanese against U.S. forces.
