Hamas called the a “Day of Jihad” after the terror group launched its shockingly deadly assault on Israel, which killed 1,300 people and wounded over 3000 more, according to reports. The attack took place on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the final day of the annual High Holy Day cycle.
“We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world,” Hamas said, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a not-for profit press monitoring organization that focused on the Islamic word.
