What is the Israeli retaliation?
A music festival, military facilities, and neighbouring the nation’s communities were attacked by hundreds of Hamas gunmen on October’s 7th day after the military and intelligence leaders disregarded or overlooked multiple warnings.
According to the nation’s counts, some 1,200 Israelis and foreigners—mostly civilians—were killed, while 253 others were taken as hostages back to Gaza.
