Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel declares a state of war after Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups launch a series of surprise attacks from the Gaza Strip that has left thousands of people dead including Israeli soldiers and citizens.
This was after the Hamas attack began in the early morning of Saturday with a rocket barrage of at least 3,000 missiles against Israel and vehicle-transported incursions into its territory.
Palestinian militants breached the Gaza–Israel barrier, attacking military bases and slaughtering civilians in neighboring Israeli communities. At least 260 Israelis were massacred at a music festival. The Supernova Festival event which was held in the desert in southern Israel to coincide with the Jewish holiday festival of Sukkot and the Simchat Torah.
Hamas announced the start of what it called “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood“, stating that it had fired over 5,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel within a span of 20 minutes. Israeli sources reported that at least 3,000 projectiles had been launched from Gaza. At least five people were killed by the rocket attacks.
Several news agencies and observers have described the ongoing conflict as the Third Intifada, following the prior Palestinian uprisings of the First and Second Intifadas. Others have referred to it as the Sukkot War, after the festivity celebrated the day the attack started. Numerous analysts and officials have described the initial assault as “Israel’s 9/11“. In response to the statement that it was the Israeli 9/11, US Secretary of State, Antony J. Blinken, said that it was an attack equal to ten times that of 9/11.
The worst ‘single day’ for Jews
US President Joe Biden condemns Hamas horrific and injustice oppression against the Jews and its other victims, and called the event as the “worst single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust“.
In his later public statement, Netanyahu threatened to “turn Gaza into a deserted island”, and urged its residents to “leave now“.
The event is part of the decades-long Arab–Israeli conflict, particularly the Gaza–Israel conflict.
