An organization of U.S. Army veterans has helped to provide safe passage to more than 200 Americans in Israel after the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas launched its deadly cross-border attacks on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,400 people and taking at least 222 hostages.
In a statement on Oct. 23, the Washington, D.C.-based non-profit organization called Special Operations Association of America (SOAA) said a total of 288 U.S. citizens requested support, and so far, 208 Americans have been evacuated from Israel as Tel Aviv has massed tanks and troops on its border with Gaza Strip ahead of an expected ground offensive.
