Eighteen months after Hamas' massacre of Israelis, Palestinian terror groups are still holding 59 men and women—including five Americans—captive in Gaza.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists waged the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust — slaughtering babies, committing sexual violence, burning whole families alive, and taking 240 civilians hostage.
