Shalom Christian Brothers and Sisters - The Jewish Answer To The World #israelwar #gaza #jews #israelis #shlomocarlebach An ongoing armed conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant groups led by Hamas[35][l] began on 7 October 2023,[36][37][38] with a coordinated surprise offensive on Israel. The attack began with a rocket barrage of at least 3,000 rockets launched from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip against Israel.[39] The surprise attack was met with Israeli retaliatory strikes,[40] and Israel formally declared war on Hamas a day later.[40] Israel began clearing Hamas forces from affected areas and conducting airstrikes in the Gaza Strip,[41] which have killed 2,339 Palestinians as of 15 October.[42] The United Nations reported that around 1 million Palestinians, nearly half of the population of Gaza, have been internally displaced.[43] Fears of a humanitarian crisis were heightened after Israel cut off food, water, electricity, and fuel supplies to Gaza, which had already been blockaded by both Egypt and Israel.[44][45] Israel ordered the evacuation of 1.1 million Gazans, while Hamas called on residents to stay put in their homes and set up roadblocks.
