i could have written this myself as i just finished it and it is terrifyingly possible...

https://www.amazon.com/Attack-Kurt-Schlichter/dp/B0CRR7WFZT

I just finished reading The Attack, and it was terrifying. Without doing spoilers, the basic plot is that radical Muslim terrorists slip in over 10,000 trained jihadists, and an assortment of military grade weaponry.
They do this across the open border, where they are simply released into the county, with a court date many years in the future.
Then on Aug/27/2024 they launch a massive preplanned attack, in the style of the October 2023 invasion of Israel, with a twist or two.

The story is told by various survivors. It would have been easy for Schlicter to over-trope this, and make the story full of repentant Liberals, who wished they had been gun-owners, or who wish they had not put the party into power, which released the kraken, so to speak. But, this was not over done. Much of the book focused on the logistics of how The Attack was planned and carried out. Out of maybe twenty or so elements, I found nineteen to be easily believable, and very plausible, and likely. There was only one aspect that I thought, at first, might have been a bridge too far, and deemed it maybe 35%-40% believable. But, the more I thought about it, the more that I have come to believe that this element was in the 75%-80% range of possibility, and that is disturbing, in a big way. To avoid spoiling anything, I will not go into details, and the book is not dependent on that part actually happening, and it is not central to the theme. But frankly, I think this was the part that most scared me, and I feel certain that most people will pick up on it for themselves. I highly recommend this book, and it will make you do some thinking. This would make a heckuva movie or limited series!

Yes, a very plausible scenario for the attack. After seeing the pro-Hamas protests here, I think I see what part you’re getting at for the twentieth. The only quibble I had was the aftermath and response to the attack. I don’t know if we could do it.
