Israel under attack: Hamas launched Surprised Attack

Hamas has launched the biggest attack on Israel in years in a surprise assault that combined gunmen crossing the border with a heavy barrage of rockets, with Israel carrying out at least two air strikes on Gaza. According to the latest news coming from Israel, prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu  said that “Israel is at war”. More than 5000 rockets were fired by Hamas Islamic Terrorists, also some reports say that they have captured 35 Israelis soldiers and killed many. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: “We are at war and we will win”.”Dozens of IDF fighter jets are currently striking a number of targets belonging to the Hamas Islamic terrorist organisation in the Gaza Strip,” the military said.

Israeli media reported that gunmen had opened fire on passers-by in the town of Sderot, in southern Israel, and footage circulating on social media appeared to show clashes in city streets as well as gunmen in jeeps roaming the countryside.

What is Israel-Hamas and Palestine conflict 

The Israel-Palestine conflict is a long-standing and deeply rooted political and territorial dispute between Israelis and Palestinians. At its core, it revolves around competing national aspirations and claims to the same land, particularly in the region known as historic Palestine, which includes present-day Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.

Hamas is a significant actor in this conflict. Hamas, or the Islamic Resistance Movement, is a Palestinian political and militant organization that was founded in 1987 during the First Intifada (Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation). Hamas’s founding charter calls for the establishment of an Islamic state in historic Palestine and the rejection of Israel’s existence. The group is considered a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States, the European Union, and several other countries.

Hamas has been a key player in the Israel-Palestine conflict due to its involvement in both politics and armed resistance. It has won elections in the Gaza Strip and has governed there since 2007, after a violent takeover from its rival Palestinian faction, Fatah, which controls the West Bank. This political division has further complicated efforts to reach a resolution to the conflict.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to several military confrontations, most notably in 2008-2009, 2012, 2014, and 2021. These conflicts have resulted in significant casualties and destruction in the Gaza Strip, as well as in Israel. Efforts to mediate and negotiate a lasting peace between the parties have been ongoing for years, involving various international actors, but a comprehensive resolution remains elusive.

The Israel-Palestine conflict is marked by complex historical, religious, and political factors, with multiple parties involved. Achieving a peaceful and just solution to this conflict is a challenging and ongoing international concern.
