Breaching the Gaza blockade and the ensuing conflict
On October 7th, the Gaza Strip blockade was breached, leading to a conflict between Hamas and Israel. Hamas fighters entered Israeli-controlled areas, attacking military facilities and taking captives. In response, Israel conducted airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, resulting in the displacement of over a million Palestinians. The Israeli army targeted apartment blocks, hospitals, mosques, and churches to root out Hamas. After 14 days of war, convoys carrying essential aid were finally allowed into Gaza.
