“Although we lost some of our sites and resources, the Palestinian resistance was able to hit back at Israel harshly, instantly and deep into Israel’s main cities, shaking their security and forcing them into a cease-fire... The most important thing we have learned was that the Israeli enemy needs to be shocked from the first day… You have to send a powerful message on the first day in any future military confrontation with Israel, and this is what we have done. We are in a state of gradual escalation, and Israel will take into consideration our military capability to use this tactic in any future conflict.”Mohammed Suliman, “Armed Palestinian Factions Confident After Battle With Israel,” Al-Monitor, January 10, 2013, http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/ar/originals/2013/01/gaza-military-lessons.html.

America wanted to deceive its nation by portraying its war as a war against particular individuals so with death of individuals war will ended [sic]. In that way America’s administration feel[s] some sort of victory by killing certain individuals. Just like what happened when they killed Shaykh Usama Bin Laden… Those miserable people haven’t yet realized that their war is waged against a nation that has principles and fundamentals. These principles gain life in the Muslims’ heart when their supporters are martyred for their sake. The clearest of evidence is the long list of the martyred mujahideen that hasn’t weaken [sic] jihad. Instead, jihad operations often increase. Shaykh Osama Bin Laden was killed, but did the war against America cease?Ibrahim al-Rubaish, “Inspire Continues to Inspire,” Inspire 9 (2012): 6.

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

Fact:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
