This post is public so feel free to share it. Today, the Iranian backed Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, launched a brilliantly executed a surprise multi-domain surprise attack on Israel. Hamas commandos launched an air, sea, and land attack in which their units breached the Israeli fortifications on their border and killed at least 250 Israelis, including an Israeli Army Brigade Commander, wounded about 1500 more, and captured around 50 people, military and civilians, taking them back to Gaza as hostages.
