American reaction to the attacks

The White House administration initially refrained from commenting on the matter. However, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said there is no evidence directly linking Iran to the attack.
“We are in constant conversations with Israeli authorities on this matter. “We are evaluating our intelligence reports to obtain more details on the issue,” Sullivan said.
Aftermath of Hamas surprise assault

After this event, the Israeli army confirmed that casualties reached 1,200 people, and more than 2,700 were injured after Hamas militants managed to breach the border barrier surrounding Gaza.
In response, Israel began a series of airstrikes on Gaza. These counterattacks have so far left 1,055 dead and 5,184 injured. According to UN data, nine of the victims were collaborators of the Palestinian Refugee Agency.
