Palestinian militant group Hamas launched the largest attack on Israel in decades, sending forces into multiple Israeli towns by land, sea, and air, along with a barrage of rocket strikes in a surprise offensive. More than 1,000 Israelis and Palestinians were killed—as were 11 U.S. citizens—and thousands of others were injured.

Israel strikes and seals off Gaza after incursion by Hamas, which vows to execute hostages

Israel’s military ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip on Monday, halting deliveries of food, water, fuel and supplies to its 2.3 million people as it pounded the Hamas-ruled territory with waves of airstrikes in retaliation for the militants’ bloody weekend incursion.

The attack by the Hamas is horrendous. They did awful things, like decapitating baby’s heads. Tying parents up and torturing them to death in front of their children. 1600 civilians killed, and hundreds held hostage. There are 11 Americans dead, and many are hostages.

It will be interesting how President Biden responds this. I say take no prisoners. They would do the same to us.

The are many stories about the military that have been forgotten, but I interviewed four WWII veterans for my new book, and they are amazing. Each one had a near death experience. They didn’t do anything heroic, but put their lives on the line.

The book is called, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.

In an assault of startling breadth, Hamas gunmen rolled into as many as 22 locations outside the Gaza Strip, including towns and other communities as far as 15 miles from the Gaza border. In some places, they roamed for hours, gunning down civilians and soldiers as Israel’s military scrambled to muster a response.

It is a terrible act by the Hamas to attack Israel. Over 900 dead, including at least 9 Americans. It seem that the Hamas are asking for big trouble. Israel will attack them with huge force. I think they won’t stop until the Hamas are eliminated.

I am an old solider who is 84 years old, but if they would somehow let me I would be in Israel fighting with them.

I was honored when I went to get my COVID vaccine a couple years ago. I was in a huge line waiting my turn when a National Guard soldier came up to me and told me to follow him. He took me to a spot where I was next to get my shot. Probably was because I was wearing an Army hat, and was using a cane.

The military is getting weaker, because not enough civilians are enlisting. This will become a problem very quickly if this doesn’t turn around. They may have to start the draft again. The military changed my life in a very positive way. Please talk to some of your civilian friends to check into enlisting. They won’t regret it.
