On October 7, 2023, the fundamentalist Islamist organization Hamas committed an unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel on Yom Kippur, October 7, 2023, killing over 1,400 Israelis.
The White House senior staff allegedly held "wellness" meetings for Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian aides to discuss the war and its impact on these individuals.
Responding to these accusations, the Israeli military claimed that the strike on the church was actually aimed at a nearby militant command center and that the incident was under review.
