Iran’s proxy Islamist terrorist group targeted attendees at a music festival and people in a southern Israeli town, while thousands of rockets rained down on Israeli civilian centers.

As a result of the massacre, the terrorists killed around 1,200 people, injured more than 5,300, and took at least 242 hostages, more than half of whom remain in Gaza. The majority of victims were civilians, including dozens of American citizens.
