On October 7th, Hamas forces launched thousands of rockets towards Israel and declared the start of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation. Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and capturing over a hundred hostages. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was in a state of war.
The IDF’s counter-operation, named “Iron Swords,” aims to destroy Hamas. The Israeli Air Force (IAF) has carried out strikes on hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, “Gazeta.ru” provided answers to key questions about the Israel-Palestine conflict.
