Taylor Swift's security guard has gone home to Israel to fight Hamas

Taylor Swift's security guard has gone to Israel to fight against Hamas.

Hamas launched over 300 rockets into Israel on October 7, as well as massacring over 200 people at a festival.

The Hamas is a Sunni Islamist political and military organization who want Palestine to be an independent state.

Swift's Israeli security guard has joined in his home country's efforts against the Hamas.

The unnamed guard previously fought for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and has now returned in a bid to help protect his country.

Despite his role of protecting 'Anti-hero' hitmaker - and guarding Swift being his 'dream job' - the guard said he didn't want to be 'on the wrong side of history'.

He's said to have told publication Israel Hayom: "I have a pretty great life in the US, a dream job, great friends, and a comfortable home.

"I didn't have to come here, but I couldn't stand by while families were slaughtered and burned alive in their homes.

"Don't stand by and do nothing. Don't be on the wrong side of history."

The ongoing attacks have left hundreds of families devastated, with the death tolls of both Palestinians and Israelis rising each day.

One heartbroken father, Thomas, spoke to CNN and said that his eight-year-old daughter Emily had been killed by Hamas.

Emily had been staying at a friend's house the night before the Hamas' attack.

While Thomas was devastated that his young daughter had died, he was relieved to know she wasn't being held hostage and tortured.

He recalled: "They just said, 'We found Emily. She's dead.' And I went, 'Yes!' I went, 'Yes!' And smiled - because that is the best news of the possibilities that I knew.

"That was the best possibility that I was hoping for. She was either dead or in Gaza. And if you know anything about what they do to people in Gaza, that is worse than death. That is worse than death.

"The way they treat you, they'd have no food, they'd have no water. She'd be in a dark room, filled with Christ knows how many people and terrified every minute, hour, day and possible years to come."

Thomas went on to label Emily's passing as an 'absolute blessing'.

Sadly, the conflict between Palestine and Israel has been going on for decades and the war doesn't appear to be ending any time soon.

As of today (October 16), Hamas has fired more missiles towards Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, while Israel has blocked vital deliveries being taken to the Gaza Strip since October 10.

It's been reported that Gaza's hospitals have less than 24 hours left of fuel reserves as a result - leaving thousands of injured people's lives at risk.
