GOP Congressman Assisting American Evacuation in Israel
Congressman Cory Mills Flies to Israel to Evacuate Americans Amidst Hamas Attack
Congressman Cory Mills (R-FL) courageously flew to Israel overnight Tuesday to assist in the evacuation of Americans as Hamas terrorists continue their brutal and relentless attack on the country.
In an interview with The Floridian, Mills revealed that he has already aided 32 Americans in leaving the country, but there are still hundreds of American citizens who remain ”trapped.” As an Army veteran and a defense contractor, Mills expressed his unwavering solidarity with both the Israeli people and his fellow Americans, stating that he felt compelled to assist in their evacuation.
This isn’t the first time Mills has stepped up to help in a crisis. As a member of a team of military contractors, he played a crucial role in rescuing an American family from Afghanistan following the disastrous withdrawal of U.S. forces ordered by President Joe Biden.
Mills’ colleague, Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), informed members of Florida’s congressional delegation about Mills’ mission to Israel. The U.S. State Department confirmed that 22 Americans have tragically lost their lives due to the Hamas attack since it began on Saturday.
Former Texas Rep. Mayra Flores shared a photo of Mills in Israel, surrounded by a group of American citizens. In her tweet, she expressed her prayers for their safety and commended Mills for his ongoing rescue efforts.

Hamas has unleashed a wave of terror, resulting in the tragic deaths of over 1,200 Israelis since the start of their attack on Saturday. Additionally, they have taken at least 150 hostages into the Gaza Strip, where they have threatened to film their executions. In response, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are preparing a ground operation to rescue the hostages, with reports suggesting that U.S. special forces are assisting in a possible rescue mission.
IDF Major General Itai Veruv expressed the horrifying reality of the situation, stating, “It’s not a war, it’s not a battlefield. It’s a massacre. You see the babies, the mothers, the fathers, in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms, and how the terrorists killed them. It’s something we used to imagine from our grandparents in pogroms in Europe and other places.”
How does Congressman Mills’ experience as an Army veteran and defense contractor uniquely qualify him to handle dangerous situations such as the conflict in Israel?
