Castle Pinckney Society members hoisted the Israeli Flag over Castle Pinckney on Sunday, November 5 to show support for the people of Israel, and to celebrate and remember Charleston’s rich Jewish history. Israel has been fighting Hamas in Gaza since militants launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7. Hamas killed 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and captured more than 240 hostages in the attack, according to Israeli officials.
