Israel-Hamas War

Hamas believes Israel's destruction is still possible, official warns • Israel assassinated Iran's navy chief, • Trump: No strikes on Iran before midterms in November

Through the evening of October 6, Israeli intelligence was fed the impression that there was a state of routine in Gaza, allowing Hamas to conceal its plans while arming and concentrating its forces.

On the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre, Likud cited prewar intelligence reports to argue Netanyahu was not warned of an imminent Hamas attack and accused Channel 12 of political bias.

Meanwhile, the IDF carried out a strike killing two Hamas terrorists who stored explosives in Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of whom worked as a "civil defense worker."

“Three years of responses to the October 7 massacre and the multi-front war waged that day have exposed an additional existential warfront," said Cotler-Wunsh. 

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mourned those killed and abducted on October 7 while accusing Israel of genocide, apartheid, and war crimes during the Israel-Hamas War and the Gaza ceasefire.

If October 7 survives chiefly as the beginning of what came afterward, something has been lost.

Hamas official Ghazi Hamad said October 7 came at a heavy price, but pointed to Israel’s isolation and renewed Palestinian statehood push as strategic gains.

Three years after October 7, the attack has revived a fundamental Zionist question: Can the Jewish people entrust their security and future to others?

McGurk told the Post that, in one meeting with the families of the hostages, "One woman left the screen, and when she came back, she learned that her loved one was actually confirmed dead.”
