ISRAEL AT WAR WITH HAMAS AFTER SURPRISE ATTACKS, AROUND 1,000 ISRAELIS DEAD
UJA provides care for Jews in Israel, New York and around the globe and fights antisemitism through its broad network of nonprofits and grassroots organizations.
The fundraising effort comes after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel over the weekend, resulting in the deadliest assault on Jews since the Holocaust.

The death toll has risen to over 1,000 Israelis and thousands more injured. More than 150 were taken as hostages to Gaza.
President Biden confirmed Tuesday that 14 Americans were among the murdered and another 20 remain missing. It is unclear how many Americans are among the those being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza.
