Unprecedented Escalation in Conflict
Hamas terrorists initiated a comprehensive attack on Israel, employing air, sea, and land infiltration from the blockaded Gaza Strip. This marked an unprecedented escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and resulted in the tragic loss of 22 lives.
Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu declared the situation as a state of war and announced a significant mobilization of army reserves. Hamas, in response, released a video depicting its fighters capturing three individuals dressed in civilian clothing, labeling them as “enemy soldiers.”
“We decided to put an end to all the crimes of the occupation (Israel). Their time for rampaging without being held accountable is over,” declared the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ armed wing. Within the first 20 minutes of their operation, Hamas fired over 5,000 rockets.
