WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a powerful statement, Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH5) expressed his condemnation of the brutal attack carried out by Hamas terrorists on the nation and people of Israel. The congressman's statement comes in the wake of alarming reports revealing the extent of violence unleashed by these terrorists.

"The brutality and terror that Hamas terrorists have rained upon the Israeli people cannot be overstated," Congressman Latta declared. "Going from town to town and house to house, these terrorists have hunted and slaughtered innocent civilians. Women, children, and the elderly have been ripped from their families and murdered or taken hostage."

The gravity of the situation was further highlighted by the congressman's mention of a music festival where these terrorists unleashed their fire, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 260 innocent lives. Disturbingly, many individuals who were unable to escape the chaos have been kidnapped and taken hostage.

Israeli officials have confirmed that among the hundreds of hostages being held in Gaza, there are Americans. This development has only intensified the urgency for action and support from the international community.

Addressing this alarming situation, Congressman Latta emphasized the need for solidarity and condemned the unprovoked and evil attack on innocent people. He called for everyone who believes in freedom and justice to unequivocally condemn this act of terror.

"Now more than ever, the United States must stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our greatest ally in the Middle East as they defend themselves from this abhorrent and unjust attack on their people," Congressman Latta stated.

The congressman previously expressed his concern and support through a statement on his official Twitter account, which can be found here.

As the situation continues to unfold, it is imperative for the international community to come together and condemn this act of terror, while providing the necessary support to Israel in their quest for peace and security.
