VIDEO: Capito Statement on Anniversary of October 7th Attack on Israel

Press Release

“One year ago today, Israel was brutally and indiscriminately attacked by Hamas terrorists in an act of sheer evil.

On what Israelis will forever remember as ‘Black Saturday,’ more than one thousand innocent people in Israel were viciously murdered by terrorists.

We watched in horror as Hamas and other terror groups took women, children, and elderly Israelis as hostages, many of them gravely wounded.

Some of these hostages were survivors of the Holocaust.

I am particularly sickened by Hamas’s use of sexual violence on this dark day, an inexcusable and disgusting war crime that must be universally condemned and never again used as a weapon of war.

As we mark the one-year anniversary of October the 7th, the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust, I unequivocally stand with Israel and with the Jewish people, including our communities in West Virginia.”
