WHAT HAPPENED?
Hamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, launched a comprehensive attack against Israel on the morning of October 7, called the “Aqsa Flood.”
As thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel, Palestinian armed groups attacked and seized the Beit Hanun-Erez border gate on the Gaza-Israel border.
Armed groups then entered settlements inside Israel from here and the Israeli army launched an attack on the Gaza Strip with dozens of fighter jets.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza announced that 687 people, including 140 children, were killed and 3,726 injured in Israel’s attacks on Gaza.
Israeli forces had killed 16 Palestinians in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank since October 7.
The statement issued by the Israeli Foreign Ministry states that at least 900 Israelis were killed and 2,616 people were injured, 157 of them seriously, in the attacks carried out from Gaza. (AA)
