The Israel-Hamas War
The war between Israel and Hamas began on October 7, when invading Palestinian terrorists murdered over 1200 people in southern Israel. During their terrorist campaign, which saw the use of sexual violence and attacks on civilians, over 250 people were abducted.
Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza a few days after the attacks, with the war goals of returning the hostages and ending Hamas’s reign over the Gaza Strip. A third goal was later, following heavy attacks by Hezbollah from Lebanon, to secure the safe return of northern residents after they were forced to evacuate.
Hamas-run health ministries have claimed that over 40,000 Palestinians were killed by Israel since October 7. This figure is based on a combined total of civilian and combatant deaths and cannot be independently verified.
Despite the figures being relayed by Hamas-controlled groups, Israel has been subjected to accusations of genocide for much of the war.
