On 7 October, the Islamic resistance movement (Hamas) launched the “Al Aqsa Flood Operation” in the irregular settlements of settlers around Gaza in the face of repeated Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.

Hamas took the occupying army by surprise and, in response, launched a siege against the territory and attacks on the population.

In addition to the number of killed and wounded, most of them women and children, Israel’s shelling has resulted in the forced displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians, as well as a serious crisis in the face of severe shortages of food and medicine.
