On October 7, Hamas forces launched several thousand rockets into Israeli territory and declared the start of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation. Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and taking over a hundred hostages. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that the country was in a state of war.
The Israeli Defense Forces’ counter-operation was named “Iron Swords,” with the aim of destroying Hamas. The Israeli Air Force conducted strikes on hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli National Security Council decided to halt the supply of water, food, goods, electricity, and fuel to the sector. On October 13, Israel informed the UN that 1.1 million Palestinians must evacuate to the south of Gaza within 24 hours in anticipation of a ground operation in Gaza.
Previously, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu pledged to destroy Hamas.
