On October 7, 2023, the attack began to symbolize one of the biggest mistakes in Israel's history in Israel and the image of a mysterious military power. Since the Holocaust, it was the most deadly day for the Jews. Approximately 1,200 people died in a rampage, and about 250 people became hostage.
The attack ignited a catastrophic war that killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, including civilians. The 470 -day war driven out most of Gaza, leading to the spread of hunger crisis and dangerous illnesses, and wondered if many Palestinians had a future. The ceasefire was enforced on January 19, but it is unknown how long it will be retained.
