The Inception of the Current Conflict
The conflict in Gaza escalated dramatically after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7th, a day that would become the deadliest in Israel's history. On that day, many Israelis were taken aback by the onslaught, which included thousands of rockets fired into Israel, providing cover for Hamas militants to breach border defenses. This unexpected scale of violence caught both security and intelligence agencies off-guard, indicating significant lapses in preparedness on Israel's part. The chaos unfolded over hours, shocking residents and forcing military mobilization, ultimately plunging the region into a protracted cycle of violence that affected both Israelis and Palestinians.
