On October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped hundreds and wounded thousands. War crimes included mass rape and torture. Many Palestinian civilians participated in and supported the attacks, and Gazans working in the targeted Israeli communities gave intelligence to Hamas on where to strike.

During the conversation, one of the members of Oyola's group said [00:00:46]: "Hamas.com? Free Palestine! F**k Israel!"
Oyola nodded her head, showed her middle finger to the camera, and said [00:00:57]: "Shout out Hamas! We love what you're doing! We love what you're doing, Hamas!"
Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S., Canada, European Union, Israel and other countries. Founded in 1987, it has killed thousands of Israeli civilians through mass shootings and suicide bombings. Hamas has also kidnapped children, families and the elderly and held them hostage in Gaza. It has desecrated [slide 7] dead bodies and launched numerous rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.
Oyola also said [00:01:05]: "They [Hamas] need to keep doing it! If they are killing Israelis I don't care!"
Gabriel Núñez, another member of the group, later told [00:01:11] others, referring to the person filming the incident: "Don't engage with Zios!"
The term "Zio" is a common derogatory reference to Zionists, as well as an often-used anti-Semitic slur among white supremacists.
