Hamas launched the surprise attack during Simchat Torah, a holy day on October 7. They came by land, sea, and air, killing over 900 people and wounding more than 2000, reported the Associated Press . As of Wednesday, the whereabouts of about 150 Israeli soldiers and civilians that were kidnapped by Hamas are unknown. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war on Gaza and retaliated, killing hundreds of Palestinians, said the AP.
Adams and Chief of Patrol John M. Chell said there are currently no known threats to the local Jewish community but they are remaining vigilant in their attempts to keep people safe while attacks are ramped up overseas. “My heart is heavy with sadness after the tragic and devastating attacks on Israel by Hamas over the weekend, and the continued violence inflicted on all civilians, women, and children—Israeli, Palestinian, and those of other nationalities,” said Speaker Adams. “We must acknowledge the real fear and pain that many New Yorkers are feeling, especially those with family and friends in the region, as they watch these events unfold from afar.
State Senator James Sanders Jr. said that he condemns the killing of innocent civilians on both sides and calls for the immediate release of all civilian hostages.
