Israeli Army Reservist to Newsmax: Thankful US Hasn’t Forgotten Oct. 7

Israeli army reservist Raz Shmilovich on Monday said he is thankful America hasn’t forgotten the atrocities committed by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, and that President Donald Trump continues to stand with Israel in its fight against the Palestinian terror group.

“Our greatest ally, the States, and, of course, President Trump, is still with us because the world tends to forget what happened two years ago,” Shmilovich told Newsmax’s “Wake Up America.” “They forget that, as you mentioned, 6,000 terrorists entered into Israel and murdered, brutally murdered, raped, kidnapped innocent civilians. Now the time flies, people forget and ignore that, and treat Hamas as if they are Boy Scouts.”

On that terror day two years ago, Hamas and allied Palestinian terrorists launched a coordinated attack from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel. The surprise predawn assault resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people in Israel and the abduction of about 250 hostages and triggered the full-scale war between Israel and Hamas.
