Israel’s fight is our fight as well

The terrorist attack on Israel started early Saturday morning, with a massive barrage of rockets, men riding parasails, and others moving swiftly over Israeli territory. Within hours, thousands of rockets would be launched and hundreds of Israeli citizens would be dead, while others were taken hostage back to the Gaza Strip. The massacres were horrifying, with women, children, young people, and the elderly murdered—many in their own homes. The murderers killed one grandmother and then used her own phone to take photos of her body, leaving the phone for family to find. At least 260 people attending a music festival were massacred and many were taken hostage. The attack was undertaken by Hamas, a well-known Islamist terror organization that also functions as the governing power in Gaza. Just as a major Jewish holiday was about to end, Israel found itself at war with Hamas.

The carnage in Israel produced dancing in the streets of Gaza and Hamas called upon fellow Islamic terror organizations like Hezbollah in Lebanon to join the attack, hoping to put Israel between one terrorist force to the north and another to the south. The United States and other allies announced solidarity with Israel, and Israel declared a state of war. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke for his nation in pledging to avenge the massacres and put an end to Hamas as an operational force. This will not be a short war, but Israel must win it, and the nation knows it.
