At least 900 people have died and over 2,500 others have been injured in Israel after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack, firing thousands of rockets and crossing into the country from Gaza. Israeli officials reported at least 100 civilians and soldiers taken hostage. The Israel Defense Forces retaliated with airstrikes on Gaza, resulting in at least 687 deaths. Former President Barack Obama condemned the attacks, and President Joe Biden stated that at least 11 Americans were killed and there may be more held hostage by Hamas.
