Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and hi staff safely departed Israel on Sunday, a day after being forced to shelter in place as Hamas launched a barrage of thousands of rockets in a deadly surprise attack on Israel, a spokesperson for the senator said. 'Senator Booker and accompanying staff were in Jerusalem when Hamas launched their attacks against Israel on Saturday, and sheltered in place for their safety,' Maya Krishna-Rogers, a spokesperson for Booker, said in a statement.
Booker also released a statement condemning Hamas' attack, which has so far claimed the lives of at least 600 Israelis and injured at least 2,000 more. Israeli forces are currently engaged in hostage rescue operations, and military officials have said they plan to 'kill every terrorist in Israel.
Booker serves as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Fox News' Anders Hagstrom contributed to this report.
