Israel was attacked by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023. They entered the border areas, opened fire on military and civilians, and took more than 200 hostages. According to the authorities, about 1.2 thousand people were killed.
The Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip, including strikes on civilian targets. Israel has announced a complete blockade of the enclave: Supplies of water, electricity, fuel, food and medicines were stopped. The Gaza Strip has actually been divided into southern and northern parts, and Israel is conducting a ground operation in Rafah, which is considered the last stronghold of Hamas.
