The Lessons and Legacy of October 7

RICHARD HAASS

One year ago, Hamas killed some 1,200 people – overwhelmingly civilians – in Israel and took more than 250 hostage. Since then, Israel has reduced much of Gaza to rubble; more than 40,000 of its inhabitants reportedly have been killed, a figure that includes 10,000-20,000 Hamas militants. Over 700 Israeli soldiers have lost their lives fighting Hamas and other Iranian-backed proxies.
