Air strike signals echoed from Israel’s southern border near the Gaza Strip, a development officially confirmed by the Israel Defense Forces press service via a Telegram channel. Sirens were audible in the Gaza Strip area, according to the same report. No additional details were released at that time. (IDF press service)

Sirens continued to be heard in the Gaza vicinity, underscoring a tense security situation that affected civilians and communities on both sides. Authorities urged calm while monitoring for further instructions as air defense systems remained on alert. (IDF press service)

Earlier in the day, an air raid warning had been issued across northern Israel, and soon after, a second set of sirens pierced the air in central regions of the country, signaling ongoing activity and heightened risk in multiple zones. (IDF press service)

On 7 October, Hamas forces launched a substantial assault, firing thousands of rockets into Israel and announcing the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Militants carried out rapid incursions into Israeli territory, seizing military equipment and taking a large number of hostages. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was at war and would act decisively to defend its citizens. (IDF press service)

The Israeli intervention was branded Operation Iron Swords, with the stated objective of neutralizing Hamas’s capabilities and restoring security. The Israeli Air Force conducted widespread strikes on hundreds of Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip, as authorities coordinated a comprehensive campaign to degrade militant command and control. In parallel, Israel’s National Security Council decided to disrupt the flow of essential resources into Gaza, including water, food, goods, electricity, and fuel, in an effort to pressure Hamas and limit its operational capacity. The United Nations later reported a plan to evacuate approximately 1.1 million Palestinians to southern Gaza within 24 hours ahead of a potential ground operation. (IDF press service; UN note)

Netanyahu subsequently outlined the progression of the campaign, mentioning the initiation of a third phase of Israel’s operations in Gaza and signaling an evolving set of military objectives as the conflict continued to unfold. (IDF press service)
