Hundreds of people in Israel have been killed, injured, and taken hostage.
The head of the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg says people from our city are directly affected by the conflict, but he wasn't prepared to share specific details.
"We are finding out already connections and concerns and people from our community reaching out to the Jewish Federation asking for support to connect with loved ones," said Gustavo Zentner, president of the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg.
"We have youth that are travelling in Israel that have Winnipeg connections," he said. "We learned of people that are missing."
The organization has firmly condemned the deadly conflict.
