Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., took to social media Saturday to call for an end to the Gaza “blockade' and condemn the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.
New York Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a member of the group of House progressives known as 'The Squad,' took to social media Saturday to call for an end to the Gaza blockade and condemn the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. 'I strongly condemn the horrific attacks by Hamas and am saddened by the loss of precious lives, especially on the holy day of Simchat Torah,' Bowman said in a statement, which was shared to social media.
In a video message early Saturday morning, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, 'Citizens of Israel, we are at war — not in an operation, not in rounds — at war.' Ambulance crews responded to areas around the Gaza Strip, and sirens sounded across Israel. Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheva, the largest town in southern Israel, is treating 140 wounded, including 20 in serious and critical condition. Some of these wounded people are civilians.
The land was occupied by Egypt until Israel took it over during 1967's Six-Day War. The first intifada, or uprising, was sparked on December 9, 1987, in Gaza when an Israeli truck ran into and killed four Palestinians. Fox News' Landon Mion, Chris Pandolfo, and Peter Aitken contributed to this report.
