Conflict in the Gaza Strip
Let us remind you: October 7 in the morning Hamas attacked Israel. The fighters entered the country by land, sea and air, and fired thousands of missiles. The attacks affected many places. One of the first was an outdoor event held that night as part of the Nova Festival in rural farmland about three kilometers from Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip. At least 260 bodies of victims of the attack were later removed from the area where the festival was held.
The Israel Defense Forces then began military operations. They began to brutally recapture the towns occupied by Hamas.
