A terrorist attack that killed 1200 innocent people and included horrific sexual violence and more than 250 hostages taken into Gaza, including seven Americans, living and deceased, who remain in captivity. A terrorist attack that triggered a devastating war in Gaza, a war that has led to unconscionable suffering of many innocent Palestinians and greater instability throughout the Middle East. In the past year, american special operations and intelligence personnel have worked closely with their israeli counterparts to locate and track Sinwar and other Hamas leaders. And I commend their work. (01:12–01:30)
