In this story, Iltalehti follows the situation in the Middle East moment by moment.
The situation has intensified in the Middle East after the Palestinian extremist organization Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on Saturday morning, October 7, 2023. Israel declared a state of war in the country after this.
In its attack, Hamas invaded the areas surrounding Gaza and killed 1,200 people. In addition, it took more than 200 people hostage.
Almost 29,000 Palestinians have already died in Israel’s counterattack on the Gaza Strip, Gaza authorities said on February 14. Most of the dead in Gaza are civilians.
Early on Friday, January 12, the conflict in the Middle East took another step on the path of escalation, when the United States and Britain and their allies struck against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Iran-backed Houthis are fighting on the same front as Hamas against Israel.
