Foreign Citizens among Hamas Victims

Deborah & Shlomi Matias:
American Couple Killed by Hamas
Israelis are not the only victims of the recent attack by Hamas.  Citizens of a number of foreign nations have also fallen victim to Hamas.  Reports reveal that 18 Thai citizens working in Israel have been killed and 11 others taken hostage by Hamas.  When Hamas attacked the Kibbutz Alumim, they killed 10 citizens of Nepal.  At least 8 French Citizens have been killed, with at least 20 more missing. President Biden confirmed that at least 30 U.S. citizens are dead as a result of the attacks and more are mission, likely being held hostage by Hamas.  Unfortunately, it doesn't end here.  Twenty-five nations report hat they have citizens either killed, kidnapped, or are unaccounted for as a result of the invasion by Hamas.  

As of right now, it is not known how the United States or the other nations who have lost citizens are going to respond to this.  President Biden has promised that the U.S. and Israel will work to share intelligence and hopefully find a way to free all of the hostages that have been taken.  With so many nations involved, some may be willing to send in their special ops teams to help Israel in rescuing the hostages.  However, one thing is certain, none of the hostages are safe.  Hamas has already threatened to execute some in retaliation for Israel's air strikes.  Reports are also coming in that Hamas may use the hostages as human shields to prevent Israel from launching an all out ground attack and use the hostages to push foreign governments to press Israel to refrain from launching any counter-attacks.  


It is not known at this time if the hostages will be freed, if foreign governments will join Israel to help stop Hamas, or if they will ask Israel to hold back until they can get their citizens freed from Hamas.  What is known is that Hamas is willing to kill any individual who gets in their way of destroying Israel, and they do not care what nation they're from.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

Jihadists World-Wide Celebrate Massacres in Israel

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
