Hamas Attack On Israel: Death Toll Rises To 700 And 100 Confirmed Hostages, Americans Included
OANN ^ | 10/23 | Brooke Mallory

Posted on 10/08/2023 2:00:18 PM PDT by spirited irish

After Hamas committed the worst attack on the Jewish state in fifty years, Israel’s cabinet officially declared war on the terrorist organization by invoking Article 40 Aleph.

Since the start of the conflict with the death toll anticipated to grow after Hamas terrorists fired hundreds of missiles and dispatched dozens of militants into Israeli communities, at least 700 Israelis have died, around 2,150 have been injured, and 100 have been verified as being held hostage by the Islamic terrorist organization.

On social media, horrifying videos of Hamas militants kidnapping festival goers and parading a woman’s bruised, naked body around the streets have gone viral.

Additionally, the group of abducted people includes Americans.

If the Navy is now on station with the USS Ford, I assume SEAL ops will begin shortly to rescue the hostages.

Nepalis and Argentines reported executed.

I read two Americans killed also.

The IDF did some great hostage rescue ops though.

That’d be equivalent to about 20,000 Americans murdered, normalizing for population.

In proportion to America on 9/11 that would be around 25,000 dead and about 3500 raped and/or abducted.
This is massive and evil. Gaza must be eradicated. And the Capitol of b any nation complicit should get nuked.

That picture has been discredited

From Telegram sources:

Rocket attacks continue, demonstrations and riots in Jerusalem, lDF aircraft flying over southern Lebanon. IDF forces on edge, confusion, some blue on blue incidents reported.

Yes, but that won't stop Freepers from posting it dozens of times.

Let's face it. The coming annihilation won't be coming!

According to who? Hamas? And even if not actually a photo, that is exactly what is happening.

Wow. That is a lot of people. Equivalent of slaughtering nearly 3 days worth of illegal alien invaders here.

The problem is Hamas and hostages are imbedded in densely populated ant-bed of Islam among civilians in Gaza.

It’s just like Vietnam. Viet Cong imbedded with the general population.

Gaza is a very high density population area. Women and children living right next to rocket installations.

I would hope Israel attacks Kharge Island on the Iranian Coast. The majority of their oil is shipped out of there. Oil burns real good. There is 1.3 x .25 miles of oil storage tanks. It gives a new meaning to target rich environment. Hit the pumping stations on land also. Their economy would collapse.

The reason Iran’s infrastructure should be attacked is it is the nexus of this violence. Without the money and arms to Hamas and Hezbola this would not have happened. Hamas did it, Iran is the person behind the screen.

I wish not to hurt innocent Iranian civilians, but understand some innocents die in war as it has always been. They hate the regime also.

Give them 24-hours to release US citizens, else declare war and kill every single member of Hamas.
