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.
