On October 7, 2023, coordinated attacks were carried out by Hamas and several other Palestinian militant groups. This series of armed incursions, from the Gaza Strip into the Gaza envelope of southern Israel, occurred during the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. Hamas militants breached the Gaza–Israel barrier, attacking military bases and massacring civilians in 21 communities. This well-planned attack, catching almost everyone by surprise, killed 1,195 people: 736 Israeli civilians (including 38 children), 79 foreign nationals, and 379 members of the security forces.
While there are plenty of differences between the environment in Isreal and the United States, there are far too many credible sources saying that terrorist cells are here and waiting for the word to strike. Since these attacks, we have been asked non-stop for information and advice for what to do, or how to prepare. This day-long conference will be full of information and advice on how to prepare and respond if you are caught in a violent, coordinated attack.
It will be a perfect supplement to our other Mindset, Preparedness, and Austere Environment seminars and workshops. It will complement our ‘Prepare Like an ODA’ and other conferences held by LTAC in the past. It is also a good time to meet up with old friends and meet other like-minded individuals.
This workshop starts at 9:30 am and we intend to finish up by 5 pm, but let’s be honest, we’ll be there as long as we keep discussing. The day will be broken up into roughly hour-long blocks of instruction with an hour-long break for lunch. There will be light refreshments.
