Sound like you’ve read Travis McGee’s “Enemies Foreign and Domestic”.

Don’t forget mothers & fathers who spoke out at school boards, also Catholics who practiced Latin Mass.

If they have enough munitions squirreled away, perhaps. On the plus side though they would be more inclined to be Biden or whatever Democrat runs, voters.

If they start in D.C. I'm sure the FBI will pursue them doggedly for insurrection. /sarcasm

If there are as many groups as I’D put here if I was Hamas?

Tens of thousands dead initially. Across the US. Major metro areas cut off from gas, -e, and water. Disruptions to supply chains for years... At least 10-15 million dead of what happens after.

Yes... this keeps me up at night even knowing my IQ is easily twice that of your average Middle Eastern goat herder that hates us...

Oh, I think they have far more than 1,000. The number may be closer to a million, and may be a gross underestimation. But a lot depends on what munitions they have access to.

Assume they will have semi-auto rifles. Assume they will coordinate. Assume the will hit soft targets- schools, hospitals, churches, sporting events….

While they were able to get “smart” terrorists to learn to fly planes, I think that it would be more likely for them to use small groups of armed thugs and/or bombs. It seems they go for the more visible and visceral in terrorism. Turning off the electricity? Meh. (And yes - I’m glad their IQ’s are low).

My 1,000 is per person. One person, under the cover of darkness and down communications could, if working with one end in mind of killing as many people as possible could probably kill 1,000. But you are right that the numbers could be worse, depending on how well they planned.

Misdirection.
Asymmetrical attacks.
I won’t detail the possible attack vectors, but they are many, simple, and easily executed.

With our lame government and dum-downed populace - we are wide open for hundreds of thousands of casualties

One death is too many said one (In)famous democrat politician in regard to Covid.

Same applies to terrorists. Deport them all.

Depends on their objective.

Making the lights go out is far more terrifying than just another ‘mass shooting’.

Especially with winter coming.

It behooves us all to be ready for extended lockdowns. There's also the fear mongering over a Covid resurgence. Who needs to deal with more panic buying?

It's not just muslims who are our enemies and want us destroyed.

Depends on the state where the Hamas attack
Occurs. If it’s in Texas, Hamas will suffer severe casualties.

Hot-heads will shoot up churches, synagogues, and other gathering places.

They won't last long in any church I've ever been to.

Football stadiums. All it costs is the cost of parking and as many ammunition that can be carried.

There’s a major event going on now. The World Series.

Small groups, aimed at highly disruptive or soft targets. Lather, rinse, repeat...

Even if they don’t hit the infrastructure a smarter person would... It would still cause chaos...

My church has already increased armed security and has instructed the congregation on how to respond if we are attacked.

In two states where a large chunk of the citizenry carries a gun.

As another poster said, several to a bunch of small teams of DC style snipers would cause a lot of chaos. But that is still too low-profile I think.

I’m going to quit posting on this thread. While I’m sure they have figured out all sorts of ways to terrorize us, I don’t need to give them any ideas.
