The Palestinian militant group “Hamas” carried out a surprise attack from the Gaza Strip on October 7, firing several thousand rockets and infiltrating several places in the territory of Israel. More than 1,400 people have been killed and about 4,000 injured in the “Hamas” attack in Israel.
Israel responded with counterfire and has deployed troops and military equipment to the border of the Gaza Strip. At least 3,400 people have been killed and 12,000 injured in Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry.
