Israel declared war against the Hamas group on 7 October, after they launched a land-sea-air assault in towns near the Gaza border. As per reports, more than 1,400 people were killed in the Hamas attack, and several Israeli civilians, foreigners, and dual nationals were taken hostage by Palestinian groups.
So far, Israel's military has reportedly killed over 22,000 people, mostly women and children, in Gaza.
