Palestinian Territories

Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, started an unusual attack on Israel on October 7th due to the unwanted possession of their country. During the attack, hundreds of gunmen entered communities near the Gaza Strip. The clash resulted in at least 1,400 deaths among Israelis, and the Israeli military reported that 203 fighters and civilians, including women and children, were taken as prisoners in Gaza. In response, the Israeli military carried out air and artillery strikes in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of more than 3,700 Palestinians. Israeli troops have also gathered along the Gaza border, raising concerns about a potential large-scale ground operation. Meanwhile, Israel set a complete block up on Gaza, leading to a lack of essential supplies, including food and fuel.
