On October 7 2023, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, launching a surprise attack that saw hundreds of civilians killed and others taken hostage in Gaza. Israel responded by launching air strikes in Gaza as well as a ground invasion to fight Hamas, with Israeli forces issuing orders for civilians to evacuate areas where military operations were being launched. The Hamas-run health ministry has said that around 35,000 people have been killed in the region.
