New details are emerging about the scale of Iranian backed Hamas' assault on Israeli and American citizens Saturday. Hundreds have been killed, thousands severely wounded with countless more taken hostage by terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
According to reports, Hamas sent at least 800 terrorists into southern Israel where they killed civilians driving cars, pulled people from their homes and assassinated hundreds who ran into bomb shelters as rockets rained down on their communities from Gaza.
Israel's @kann_news reporting the IDF estimates that on Saturday 800 -1,000 terrorists entered Israel through approximately 80 gaps in the fence, and then attacked 20 communities and 11 IDF bases.

Since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, more than two million individuals have entered the country as "gotaways." The more than seven million illegal immigrants who have entered the country and processed by Border Patrol have not been vetted. We know nearly 400 individuals on the terrorist watch list have been apprehended attempting to enter and the FBI is currently looking for potential members of an ISIS terrorist ring that was smuggled into the country.
The FBI is investigating more than a dozen migrants from Uzbekistan and other countries allowed into the US after they sought asylum at the southern border with Mexico earlier this year, a scramble set off when US intelligence officials found that the migrants traveled with the help of a smuggler with ties to ISIS, according to multiple US officials.
The episode was so alarming that an urgent classified intelligence report was circulated to President Joe Biden’s top Cabinet officials in their morning briefing book. For some counterterrorism officials, it shows that the US is deeply vulnerable to the possibility that terrorists could sneak across the southern border by hiding amid the surge of migrants entering the country in search of asylum.
