Monday marks one year since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel
SUMMARY: Tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of the October 7th massacre in Israel, where Hamas killed over 1,200 civilians, including about 30 Americans, and took over 250 hostages. The surprise attack led to an ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, resulting in thousands of deaths in Gaza and a surge in international anti-Semitism. In response, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced executive actions, including $4 million in grants for Jewish centers and protection for Jewish students. He will honor the victims at events in Austin and Dallas, while the Jewish Federation of San Antonio hosts a memorial at Temple Beth-El from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
