Israel, Stronger than Ever, Pauses to Mark October 7 Anniversary

Israel paused Monday to observe the anniversary of the terror attack of October 7, 2023, when Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists brutally murdered 1200 Israelis and abducted over 250 hostages, often torturing and raping their victims.

In the year since, Israel has smashed the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza; begun uprooting Hezbollah terrorists from its northern border; destroyed facilities in Yemen used by Houthi rebels; and threatened Iran itself with attack.

Israelis cannot move on past October 7 while there are still roughly 100 hostages being held by Hamas. Though some 34 are believed to be dead, many are thought to be alive. Public ceremonies and demonstrations on Monday in Israel stressed the need to bring the hostages home — whether through a diplomatic deal or, if possible, by military rescue.

I am a huge fan of Israel as you know. God Bless Israel, Bibi, IDF, and the Mossad. May evil fail and Israel win.
