A revolting image circulated online by the IDF on Wednesday depicted an Israeli child’s blood-stained

“If I told you, I wouldn’t be able to get them home,” Biden said.

Worst attack on Israel in 50 years: How we got here

2005: Israel unilaterally withdraws from the Gaza Strip over three decades after winning the territory
from Egypt in the Six-Day War.

2006: Terrorist group Hamas wins a Palestinian legislative election.

2007: Hamas seizes control of Gaza in a civil war.

2008: Israel launches military offensive against Gaza after Palestinian terrorists fired rockets into the
town of Sderot.

2023: Hamas launches the biggest attack on Israel in 50 years.

Over 1,200 Israelis are dead, more than 3,000 are wounded and at least 100 were taken hostage, with
the death toll expected to rise after Hamas terrorists fired thousands of rockets and sent dozens of
militants into Israeli towns.

Hamas terrorists were seen taking female hostages and parading them down the street in horrifying
videos.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced “ We are at war ” and vowed Hamas would pay “a
price it has never known.”

Gaza health officials report at least 1,050 Palestinians have been killed more than 5,000 injured.

“Folks, there’s a lot we’re doing … I haven’t given up hope of bringing these folks home.”

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said at the regular White House briefing Wednesday that
the number of Americans who “we believe is held hostage is very small — is very small, like less than a
handful. But that could change over time.”

Biden has ducked press questions in other venues since Hamas’ stunning attack on Israel. He is facing
mounting bipartisan calls from Congress to reverse his decision to authorize the release of $6 billion to
Iran , which reportedly helped plot the attack.
