Erik Kleinsmith – The Hamas Israeli War

Hamas executed a surprise attack into Israel. The attack is attributed as retaliation for the "Desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque" which occurred in the spring of 2023. The attack caught Israeli leadership, intelligence and security forces unaware. Hamas forces killed and kidnapped civilians. As the invasion began, Hamas launch thousands of rockets into Israel testing and exceeding the limits of Israel's Iron Dome defense.
The history of the Israeli Palestinian conflict is generational, and it is complex. Each side has its atrocities and crawfishing. This is an ancient land filled with ancient people. We've not seen the last of this conflict.
It's important to note that there is a difference between Hamas and Palestine. Hamas is an Iranian funded terror group. Iran's religious leader took to X.com to encourage and rattle his sabre as civilians were being rounded up, killed, raped and kidnapped.
Erik Kleinsmith joins Pete A Turner on the Break It Down Show today to discuss the war. One note they'll cover is the intelligence response, capability and Hamas will feel as the world unites behind this terrible act of terror.
