Israel's Brutal Attack and its Consequences
On October 7th, 2023, a brutal and unprecedented attack occurred in Israel. Hamas managed to breach the high-tech security fence and carried out a massacre, killing a large number of Jews, including young people at a music festival. The attack shook Israel to its core, destroying the notion of safety and exposing vulnerabilities in their deterrence. In response, Israel declared war on Hamas and initiated a brutal and bloody campaign, with the death toll continuing to rise. Israel now faces the challenge of reconciling its own Palestinian population and finding a way to coexist with the Gaza and West Bank Palestinians.
