Nearly half, 46%, of adults aged 18-24 say Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, surprise attack that killed more than 1,200 Israelis can be justified, a poll released Monday shows. Three-quarters of all respondents said the attack was not justified.

The Harvard CAPS-Harris poll asked voters of various age groups about their stances on the conflict in Gaza, and the findings show that the younger age groups overwhelmingly sympathize with Hamas compared to the older age groups.
