Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday alleged that Hamas’ recent attacks in Israel took the “evil” perpetrated by the ISIS terrorist group to “another level.”
“I will tell you that in countering ISIS, I felt as if we were staring evil in the eye. It was truly evil. In what we’ve seen from Hamas, it takes that evil to another level, and so that’s the first thing that we need to remember and consider,” the Pentagon chief told reporters at a news conference in Tel Aviv, standing next to Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.
