The Aftermath of October 7th

The events of October 7th marked a devastating turning point in Israeli history, as Hamas's large-scale attack led to the deaths of nearly 1,200 people and left many injured. The trauma experienced by Israelis was profound, with the attack striking close to home for many families, resulting in a national state of despair. In its response, Israel's military actions in Gaza were brutal, resulting in significant casualties on both sides and rendering over half of the buildings in the region damaged or destroyed. As a consequence, the global perspective shifted, moving from initial support for Israel to concern about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, raising questions about the future and the potential for resolution.
