In a statement released Monday, all 19 members of the Lake County Board and seven countywide elected officials “unequivocally” condemned the Hamas attacks on Israeli citizens.
Backed by a barrage of rockets, Hamas terrorists stormed from the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7 into nearby Israeli towns, killing dozens and abducting others in an unprecedented surprise attack during a major Jewish holiday. “Murdering innocent civilians is never justified, and we are horrified by what we have seen. We know that many in our community have family, friends and other ties to Israel and the region,” the statement said.
The tension between Israel and Hamas has made its way onto American soil, particularly in the Chicago region. In a southwest suburb, a 6-year-old Muslim boy was stabbed to death by his Plainfield Township landlord, according to law enforcement officials. The boy, Wadea Al-Fayoume, was laid to rest Monday. Hundreds of mourners gathered for the funeral, including Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
