Statement on October 7 Terrorist Attacks in Israel
The undersigned members of the Lake County Board and the elected officials listed below, unequivocally condemn the horrific terrorist attacks on Israeli citizens. Murdering innocent civilians is never justified, and we are horrified by what we have seen. We know that many in our community have family, friends and other ties to Israel and the region.
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to those who are feeling overwhelming loss and grief at this moment, we hope and pray for the safe return of the American and Israeli hostages, and peace for all.
If you or someone you know is struggling, we encourage individuals to call or text 988, the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
