Whereas, on the morning of October 7, 2023, during Simchat Torah, Hamas terrorists launched inhumane attacks on Israeli civilians eerily similar to those by ISIS; Whereas Hamas terrorists crossed the land border and began slaughtering Israelis and abducting hostages in Southern Israel; Whereas Hamas has committed war crimes in targeting and killing innocent civilians, including unarmed women, children, and the elderly; Whereas Hamas terrorists targeted innocent civilians in their homes and at public gatherings; Whereas Hamas is a United States-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization; Whereas dozens of Americans have been killed by the attacks carried out by Hamas; Whereas thousands of Israeli civilians were murdered or wounded; and Whereas hundreds of American and Israeli civilians remain unaccounted for and are possibly being held hostage by Hamas: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) condemns Hamas’ brutal attacks against Israel; (2) sympathizes and stands with the families of those held hostage or murdered during the savage attacks by Hamas; and (3) stands adjourned in honor of those murdered and unaccounted for.
