In October of 2023, Hamas launched an unexpected assault on Israel from the Gaza Strip, killing over a thousand civilians and capturing hostages.

In response, Israel has declared a state of war and emergency in the region, launching a counteroffensive involving intense airstrikes on Gaza, and most recently, a ground invasion. Calls for an immediate ceasefire have resounded globally, as the death toll in Gaza has surged beyond 10,000 according to BBC reports.
