On October 7, Hamas launched thousands of rockets into Israel and announced the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Thousands of militants invaded Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military equipment and more than a hundred hostages. Against this background, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the country was at war.
The Israel Defense Forces intervention operation was called “Iron Swords” and one of its goals was the destruction of Hamas. Israeli air forces launched strikes against hundreds of militant targets in the Gaza Strip, and the country’s National Security Council decided to cut off supplies of water, food, goods, electricity and fuel to the region. Israel announced to the UN on October 13 that 1.1 million Palestinians would be evacuated to southern Gaza ahead of the ground operation.
