Author Description

On the morning of October 7, 2023, the militant group known as Hamas launched a vicious attack on Israel in the most recent stage of the deeply complicated and decades-long Israel-Palestine conflict. This book gives a harrowing account on the frontlines of the war between Israel and Hamas. It tells the story of how Hamas surpirsed Israel with its deadly attack on Shabat, a day of rest for the Jewish people, killing more than one thousand people and kidnapping more than two hundred fifty. With unparalleled access to the Israeli soldiers, and units that faced the Hamas onslaught and their epic battle to defeat the terror group in Gaza, this is the story of the men and women who faced one of the world's worst terror attacks. It is also the story of how Hamas, backed by anti-Western and anti-Semitic forces around the globe, masterminded its attack and aspired to fire the first shot in a war to upset the US-led world order, signaling the rise of Iranian-backed terror in the Middle East. The war against the terrorist group will determine the future of the Middle East. The October 7 War is based on the author's fifteen years of experience covering wars in Gaza, defense technology, and the rise of Iranian-backed terror.
