The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has resulted in the killing of at least 29,954 Palestinians of whom are children and women. Additionally, more than 70,000 Gazans are currently injured awaiting aid, as reported by Gaza's Ministry of Health.
Hamas announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel making it the biggest offensive by the group in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip, captured military bases, and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel while others were seen paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
