“My thoughts continue to be with the people of Israel and the many families who have lost loved ones as a result of the abhorrent terrorist attack by Hamas.

The first security assistance will begin moving today and arriving in the coming days.”

Benjamin Netanyahu has deemed this attack to be the “worst attack on Israel soil in decades.” The government has braced itself for a “long and difficult” war ahead, as Hamas showered thousands of rockers over the Tel Aviv area. The militants then entered Gaza by land, sea, and air and started attacking people.

Furthermore, apart from Americans, people from other countries like France, Germany, etc. have also lost their lives, and gone missing. Hence, a number of countries are now offering support to Israel in these tough times.
