An armed conflict between Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups[28][j] and Israel military forces began on 7 October 2023,[29] 50 years after the start of the 1973
Yom Kippur War.[30][31][32] Hamas's coordinated surprise offensive, codenamed "Al-Aqsa Flood", began in the morning with a barrage of at least 5,000 rockets
launched from the Gaza Strip against Israel,[33] while some 2,500 Palestinian militants breached the Gaza–Israel barrier, massacred and set fire to civilian
communities, and attacked Israel Defense Forces (IDF) military bases near the Gaza Strip.[34] Hamas stated that its attack was in response to "desecration of the
Al-Aqsa Mosque", as well as the blockade of the Gaza Strip, continued Israeli settlements, and Israeli settler violence.[35][36][37][38] Over 1,400 Israelis, mostly
civilians, were killed,[19] including 260 people at a music festival in Re'im.[39][40][41] Over 200 people, unarmed civilian hostages and captured Israeli soldiers,
were taken to the Gaza Strip.[42][43][44][45] Israeli military forces began conducting retaliatory strikes[46] before the Israeli government formally declared war on
Hamas a day later.[46]

The 2023 war, the fiercest since the Yom Kippur War, is part of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict which started in May 1948 and which since 2005 has seen most of
its military exertions taking place in or emanating from the Gaza Strip. Hamas, which has been the ruling party of the Gaza Strip since 2007,[47] avoided major
engagements with Israel in 2022 and most of 2023. However, in 2023 before the offensive started, an uptick in Israeli–Palestinian violence saw at least 247
Palestinians, 32 Israelis and two foreigners killed.[48][49][50][51][52][53] Some sources say Hamas covertly prepared[54][55] for a major offensive.

After clearing Hamas forces from southern Israel, the IDF conducted airstrikes in the Gaza Strip,[56] which to date have killed over 8,000 Palestinians according to
the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, including more than 50 UN agency staff.[14][15] A total of 6,000 bombs were dropped by Israel during the first six-days of
the conflict, more than used by the United States over an entire year of operations in Afghanistan and double the number of bombs employed by the US-led
coalition against the ISIS over one month.[57] Fears of a humanitarian crisis were heightened after Israel cut off food, water, electricity, and fuel supplies to Gaza,
which had already been blockaded by both Egypt and Israel.[58][59] Israel urged 1.1 million Gazans to evacuate northern Gaza, while Hamas called on residents to
stay in their homes and, according to the IDF, blocked roads leading south.[60][61][62] The United Nations reported that around a million Palestinians, nearly half
of Gaza's population, have been internally displaced.[63]

There has been widespread killing of civilians, and human rights groups and a panel of United Nations special rapporteurs have accused both Israel and Hamas of
war crimes.[64][65] A vote at the United Nations General Assembly on 27 October saw an overwhelming majority of the world's nations calling for de-escalation
and an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.[66][67][68] As of 28 October, Israel is expanding ground operations, Gazans have lost access to phone and internet
services, and aid agencies are warning of an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.[69]

Background
The attack took place during the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah on Shabbat,[70] and a day after the 50th anniversary of the start of the Yom Kippur War, which
also began with a surprise attack.[71]

Israeli politics

Benjamin Netanyahu had been Israel's prime minister for most of the two decades preceding the war, and was criticized for having championed a policy of
empowering Hamas in Gaza.[72][73][74][75] It has been claimed that this policy was part of a strategy to sabotage a two-state solution by confining the Palestinian
Authority to the West Bank and weakening it, and to demonstrate to the Israeli public and western governments that Israel has no partner for peace.[76] This
criticism was leveled by several Israeli officials, including former prime minister Ehud Barak, and former head of Shin Bet security services Yuval Diskin.[76]
Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian Authority were also critical of Israel under Netanyahu allowing suitcases of Qatari money to be given to Hamas,[76] in exchange
for maintaining the ceasefire.[72] The Times of Israel alleged after the Hamas attack that Netanyahu's policy to treat the Palestinian Authority as a burden and
Hamas as an asset had "blown up in our faces".[72]

After Hamas's attack in 2023, Netanyahu proposed an emergency unity government, with the judicial overhaul and all other non-emergency legislation and policy
indefinitely suspended.[77] The Israeli war cabinet was formed on 11 October included opposition lawmakers, including Benny Gantz, the former Minister of
Defense and former Chief of the General Staff.[78]

Palestinian politics

The Gaza Strip and Israel have been in conflict since the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005. Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, and a civil
war between Hamas and Fatah in 2007 culminated in Hamas gaining control over Gaza.[79][80] In response to Hamas's takeover, Egypt and Israel imposed an
extensive blockade of the Gaza Strip that devastated Gaza's economy.[81] International rights groups have decried the blockade as a form of collective
punishment,[82] while Israel defended it as necessary to prevent weapons and dual-use goods from entering the territory.[83][84] Since the blockade, Israel and
Palestinian militants have had several clashes and made preemptive attacks on each other.[81][85][29] The Palestinian Authority has not held national elections since
2006.[81][86] A March 2023 poll of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank indicated that a majority supported the use of "armed struggle", the creation of
"militant groups", and an intifada against the Israeli occupation.[87]

Hamas leadership

Ismail Haniyeh is a prominent figure associated with Hamas. He serves as the group's political leader and has been based abroad since 2019, with an unknown
location. Haniyeh previously worked closely with Hamas's founder, Ahmed Yassin, who was killed in an airstrike in 2004. Haniyeh was elected as the head of
Hamas's political bureau in 2017 and was reelected in 2021. In 2018, the U.S. State Department designated Haniyeh as a terrorist due to his close ties to Hamas'
military wing and advocacy for armed struggle, including against civilians.[88]

Mohammed Deif, the commander of the military wing of Hamas, has a history of audacious and deadly attacks against Israel. He is known for his ability to outwit
the Israeli military, such as by adapting to Israeli military advancements by deploying low-tech responses, and operate with a long-term perspective, including
holding Israeli hostages to create public pressure over time. Deif's background and personal details are largely shrouded in mystery, and he operates from the
shadows of Palestinian militancy.[89]

Gaza tunnels

The tunnel network serves Hamas for storage, movement, and command. Hamas used hardwired phone lines within the tunnels for covert communication over
two years, evading Israeli intelligence.[90] The construction of these tunnels was a significant, multi-year effort involving Palestinian workers.[91] Hamas initially
began building its vast underground network of tunnels for smuggling in 2001, but they have since become multi-functioned. In 2014, Hamas employed 900
people for tunnel construction, funding came from commercial schemes with contributions from Iran and North Korea.[92]

Events leading up to the war

Over the course of 2023, before the attack, at least 247 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli forces, while 32 Israelis and two foreign nationals had been killed in
Palestinian attacks.[93] Increases in settler attacks had displaced hundreds of Palestinians, and there were clashes around the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a contested holy site
in Jerusalem.[94]

Tensions between Israel and Hamas rose in September 2023, and the Washington Post described the two "on the brink of war".[54] Israel found explosives hidden
in a shipment of jeans and halted all exports from Gaza.[54] In response, Hamas put its forces on high alert, and conducted military exercises with other groups,
including openly practicing storming Israeli settlements.[54] Hamas also allowed Palestinians to resume protests at the Israel-Gaza barrier.[54] On 13 September,
five Palestinians were killed at the border. According to The Washington Post, Palestinians were attempting to detonate the device, whereas Al-Jazeera reported
that a Palestinian Explosives Engineering Unit was working to deactivate the device.[k] On 29 September, Qatar, the UN, and Egypt mediated an agreement
between Israel and Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip to reopen closed crossing points and deescalate tensions.[96][97][98]

Egypt said it warned Israel days before the attack that "an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big".[99] Israel denied receiving
such a warning,[100] but the Egyptian claim was corroborated by Michael McCaul, Chairman of the US House Foreign Relations Committee, who said warnings
were made three days before the attack.[101]

According to US intelligence reports, approximately 500 militants from Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, received specialized combat training in Iran. The
training was conducted by officers from the Quds Force, the foreign-operations arm of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Senior Palestinian officials and
Iranian Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, the head of Quds Force, were also in attendance.[102]

Israel–Saudi normalization talks

At the time of the attack, Israel and Saudi Arabia were conducting negotiations to normalize relations. Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman said
normalization was "for the first time real".[103] Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry said it had "repeatedly warned that Israel's ongoing occupation of Gaza would
propel further violence".[103] Following the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état in which military general Abdel Fattah el-Sisi deposed president Mohamed Morsi, Egypt–
Hamas relations soured, with Egypt suggesting that ties between Hamas and the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood could pose a national security threat.[104][105]

Historical context
In 2005, Israel withdrew its troops and citizens from the Gaza Strip, aiming to lessen its direct control over the area. However, in 2007, Hamas seized control of
Gaza by force, escalating tensions. Israel imposed a blockade, while Hamas tunneled under the border wall to launch cross-border attacks and fired rockets into
Israeli territory. This led to multiple conflicts, escalating into multiple outright wars, wreaking havoc on civilians from both sides, and a preponderance of
Palestinian deaths. Despite the violence, the Israeli leadership found this arrangement manageable, relying on the Iron Dome rocket defense system for defense and
utilizing targeted strikes, euphemistically dubbed "mowing the grass", to keep Hamas in check, aiming to minimize the militant threat to a tolerable extent.[29]
American political scientist Stephen M. Walt said Palestinians feel they have no choice but to resist in
response to Israel's decades long oppressive treatment of Palestinians, even though they acknowledge
attacking civilians is wrong and the methods Hamas has chosen are illegitimate.[109] The Hindu wrote that
the Israeli occupation was "the longest in modern history" and created a "fuming volcano".[110] The
Associated Press wrote that Palestinians are "in despair over a never-ending occupation in the West Bank and
suffocating blockade of Gaza".[111] ABC News reported the August 2023 UNRWA figures for Gaza of 81%
of people living below the poverty level, and 63% being food insecure and dependent on international
assistance. ABC News also reported the UN OCHAoPt numbers of roughly 6,400 Palestinians and 300
Israelis killed in the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict since 2008 through September 2023, before this
war.[107][112][106]

Roger Cohen wrote that the increasing Israeli control over millions of Palestinians "incubated
bloodshed".[113] Prior to the attack, Saudi Arabia had warned Israel of an "explosion" as a result of the Israeli and Palestinian deaths preceding the war.
continued occupation,[114] Egypt had warned of a catastrophe unless there was political progress,[115] and Most were civilians.[106][107]
similar warnings were given by Palestinian Authority officials.[115] Less than two months before the attacks,
King Abdullah II of Jordan lamented that Palestinians have "no civil rights; no freedom of mobility".[115]
Cohen wrote that many Israelis assumed the Palestinian question had become a nonissue, and it had
disappeared from the global agenda.[113]

Simon Tisdall pointed to the uptick in Israeli–Palestinian violence in 2023 as portending war,[116] and
claimed that Benjamin Netanyahu refused to negotiate the peace process, adding fuel to the fire,[116] and that
the rights of Palestinians were ignored.[116] Yousef Munayyer wrote that the Biden administration had
ignored the Palestinian issue.[117] As late as 29 September, Jake Sullivan, the US National Security Advisor,
proclaimed that "the Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades".[117] Iranian
officials publicly boasted for years about their role in arming militants in Gaza, and a 2020 U.S. State
Department report said Iran funnels roughly $100 million a year to Hamas.[118] At a White House news
conference on 12 October, Sullivan said Iran was "complicit" in the attacks, but the U.S. could not confirm
whether Iran knew about the attack in advance or helped coordinate it. Rocket attacks fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip,
2001–2021[108]
According to an analysis in The Independent, the blockade on Gaza created hopelessness among
Palestinians, which was exploited by Hamas, convincing young Palestinian men that violence was the only
solution.[119] Daoud Kuttab writes that Palestinian attempts to solve the conflict via negotiations or non-
violent boycotts have been fruitless.[115] For The Times of Israel, Tal Schneider wrote: "For years, the various governments led by Benjamin Netanyahu took an
approach that divided power between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank—bringing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees while making
moves that propped up the Hamas terror group. The idea was to prevent Abbas—or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority's West Bank government—from
advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state."[120]

Hamas said its attack was in response to the blockade on Gaza, continued settlements, Israeli settler violence, and restrictions on movement between Israel and
Gaza.[121] Following the attack, American counterterrorism analyst Bruce Hoffman pointed to the 1988 Hamas Charter, alleging that Hamas had always had
"genocidal" intentions and that it had no intentions for "moderation, restraint, negotiation, and the building of pathways to peace".[122] Michael Milshtein, head of
the Palestinian Studies Forum at Tel Aviv University and a former Israeli military intelligence officer, argued that the attacks were "part of the long-term vision of
Hamas to eradicate Israel" and that "Hamas is not ready at all to give up on the jihad".[123]

Events

Hamas attack

At around 6:30 a.m. IDT (UTC+3) on 7 October 2023,[93] Hamas announced the start of what it called "Operation Al-
Aqsa Flood", stating it had fired over 5,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel within a span of 20 minutes. Israeli
sources reported that at least 3,000 projectiles had been launched from Gaza. At least five people were killed by the rocket
attacks.[33][124][43] Explosions were reported in areas surrounding the Strip and in cities in the Sharon Plain including
Gedera, Herzliyya,[125] Tel Aviv, and Ashkelon.[126] Air raid sirens were activated in Beer Sheva, Jerusalem, Rehovot,
Rishon Lezion, and Palmachim Airbase.[127][128][129] Hamas issued a call to arms, with commander Mohammad Deif
calling on "Muslims everywhere to launch an attack" and to "kill them [the enemy] wherever you may find them".[130][43]

Hamas employed tactics such as using aerial drones to disable Israeli observation posts, paragliders for infiltration into
Israel, and motorcycles, which was unusual for Hamas.[102] Palestinian militants opened fire on Israeli boats, while clashes
Approximate situation on 7–8
broke out between Palestinians and the Israel Defense Forces along the Gaza perimeter fence.[127] In the evening, Hamas October
launched another barrage of 150 rockets towards Israel, with explosions reported in Yavne, Givatayim, Bat Yam, Beit
Dagan, Tel Aviv, and Rishon Lezion.[124]

Simultaneously, around 2,500 Hamas militants and civilians[131] infiltrated Israel from Gaza using trucks, pickup trucks, motorcycles, bulldozers, speedboats, and
paragliders.[71][93][103] They took over checkpoints at Kerem Shalom and Erez, and created openings in the border fence in five other places.[132] Initial images
and videos showed heavily armed and masked militants in black fatigues riding pickup trucks[126][129] and opening fire in Sderot, killing dozens of Israeli civilians
and soldiers. Other videos appeared to show Israelis taken prisoner, a burning Israeli tank,[133][43] and militants driving Israeli military vehicles.[126]

Massacres and attacks on civilians

Militants killed civilians at Nir Oz,[129] Be'eri, and Netiv HaAsara, where they took hostages[134] and set fire to homes,[125] as well as in other agricultural
communities.[125] Over 200 civilians were killed in the Kfar Aza massacre, 108 in the Be'eri massacre (a loss of 10% of the kibbutz's population) and 15 in the
Netiv HaAsara massacre,[135][136][137] in what has been described as the bloodiest day in Israel's history and the worst single-day massacre of Jews since the
Holocaust.[138][139][140][141][137] In Sderot, gunmen targeted civilians and set houses ablaze. In Ofakim, hostages were taken during Hamas's deepest
incursion.[142][137] Hamas said it took prisoners to force Israel to release Palestinian prisoners.[143] In Be'eri, Hamas militants took up to 50 people hostage.[144]
During a stand-off between militants and IDF, videos from Be'eri showed hostages being led barefoot across a street in town.[145] Hamas also massacred 260 and
injured many more at an outdoor music festival near Re'im and took attendees hostage. Witnesses recounted militants on
motorcycles opening fire on participants who were already fleeing due to rocket fire.[70][146][147] Graeme Wood reported
that the video footage retrieved from the body cameras of Hamas militants displayed several victims "in the beginning of
the footage they are alive, by the end they're dead. Sometimes, in fact frequently, after their death their bodies are still being
desecrated."[148]

At least 200 people were taken hostage during the attacks, mostly civilians.[144][149][150] Captives in Gaza include
children, festival-goers, peace activists, caregivers, elderly people, and soldiers.[150] Satellite view of widespread fires in
Israel on 7 October 2023[125]
An Israeli spokesman said militants had entered Israel through at least seven locations from both land and sea,[71] and
invaded four small rural Israeli communities, the border city of Sderot, and two military bases.[103] Israeli media reported
that seven communities came under Hamas control, including Nahal Oz, Kfar Aza, Magen, Be'eri, and Sufa,[151] and there
were 21 active high-confrontation locations in southern Israel.[152]

Attacks on military bases

Hamas militants carried out an amphibious landing in Zikim.[126][153][154] A military base near Nahal Oz was also taken
by the militants, leaving at least two Israeli soldiers dead and six others captured. The IDF said it killed two attackers on the
beach and destroyed four vessels, including two rubber boats.[155] A blood-stained home floor in the
aftermath of the Nahal Oz massacre
Fighting was reported at Re'im military base, headquarters of Israel's Gaza Division. [156]
It was later reported that Hamas
took control of the base and took several Israeli soldiers captive,[156] before the IDF regained control later in the day.[157]
The police station of Sderot came under Hamas control, with militants killing 30 Israelis, including policemen and civilians.[158]

Israeli counterattack

The initial attack coincided with the Jewish holidays of Sukkot and Simchat Torah, and appeared to have been a complete surprise to the Israelis.[128] Prime
Minister Netanyahu convened an emergency gathering of security authorities, and the IDF launched Operation Swords of Iron in the Gaza Strip.[159][124] In a
televised broadcast, Netanyahu said, "We are at war".[103] He threatened to "turn all the places where Hamas is organized and hiding into cities of ruins", called
Gaza "the city of evil", and urged its residents to leave.[160][121] Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant conducted security assessments at IDF
headquarters in Tel Aviv.[129][126] Overnight, Israel's Security Cabinet voted to act to bring about the "destruction of the military and governmental capabilities of
Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad".[161] The Israel Electric Corporation, which supplies 80% of the Gaza Strip's electricity, cut off power to the area.[126] This
reduced Gaza's power supply from 120 MW to 20 MW, provided by power plants paid for by the Palestinian Authority.[162]

The IDF declared a "state of readiness for war",[124] mobilized tens of thousands of army reservists,[93][126] and declared a state of emergency for areas within 80
kilometers (50 mi) Gaza.[151] The Yamam counterterrorism unit was deployed,[152] along with four new divisions, augmenting 31 existing battalions.[71]
Reservists were reported deployed in Gaza, in the West Bank, and along borders with Lebanon and Syria.[163]

Residents near Gaza were asked to stay inside, while civilians in southern and central Israel were "required to stay next to shelters".[126] The southern region of
Israel was closed to civilian movement,[152] and roads were closed around Gaza[71] and Tel Aviv.[126] While Ben Gurion Airport and Ramon Airport remained
operational, multiple airlines cancelled flights to and from Israel.[164]Israel Railways suspended service in parts of the country and replaced some routes with
temporary bus routes,[165][166] while cruise ships removed the ports of Ashdod and Haifa from their itineraries.[167]

Defense Minister Gallant told a Knesset committee that the war would have three main phases. A first phase involving airstrikes and a ground maneuver to
"destroy operatives and damage infrastructure to defeat and destroy Hamas", a second phase eliminating pockets of resistance, and a third creating "a new security
regime" in the Gaza Strip and surrounding area.[168][169] Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen stated that "the territory of Gaza will … decrease" after the war,
leading to speculation that parts of Gaza may be annexed or a buffer zone established.[170]

7 October

The IDF announced attacks in Gaza using fighter jets, targeting 17 Hamas military compounds and four command centers.
The operation included strikes on the 11-story Palestine Tower in Gaza City. The IDF believed the building housed a
Hamas intelligence unit, equipped with advanced electronic warfare devices for disrupting the GPS reception of Israeli
smart bombs and Iron Dome counter-rocket defenses.[124][151][171] According to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the
IDF also struck two hospitals, killing an ambulance driver and a nurse.[126]

8 October
Destruction of the Palestine Tower in
By the morning, Israel had struck 426 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.[172] The town of Beit Hanoun was mostly leveled Gaza following an Israeli airstrike
by airstrikes,[173] and the Al-Amin Muhammad Mosque was destroyed.[174][175] Targets included housing blocks, tunnels,
homes of Hamas officials, and the Watan Tower, a hub for internet providers in the area.[176][177] One Israeli airstrike
killed 19 members of the same family (including women and children);[178] survivors of the strike said there were no
militants in their area, nor were they warned.[178]

Approximately 18 hours after the stand-off began, the IDF announced they had freed the hostages in Be'eri.[145] In Urim, a
suburb of Ofakim, two Israelis were rescued by the IDF. Four Hamas militants were killed, and three Israeli soldiers were
injured during the rescue.[145]

Another Hamas rocket barrage was launched in the morning, with one rocket hitting the Barzilai Medical Center in
Damage in Gaza following an Israeli
Ashkelon.[71][179] Hamas also fired 100 rockets at Sderot.[176] The DFLP said that they were engaged with Israeli forces strike
in Kfar Aza, Be'eri, and Kissufim.[180]
The Israeli government's State Security Cabinet formally placed the country under a state of war for the first time since the
1973 Yom Kippur War.[181][182] The IDF said two hostage situations had been "resolved",[183] and recaptured Sderot
police station, killing ten Hamas militants.[158][184][185] They secured 22 locations from Palestinian forces but were still
trying to clear eight others, including the rest of Sderot and Kfar Aza. In one community, they rescued 50 hostages. Several
Palestinian gunmen riding in a stolen car were killed in a shootout near Ashkelon.[172] More Palestinian militants entered
Magen,[186] and 70 Palestinian reinforcements arrived at Be'eri.[173]

Residents near Gaza were ordered to evacuate.[172][186] Former brigadier general Gal Hirsch was appointed to lead
recovery of missing and kidnapped citizens.[187] The IDF called in up to 300,000 reservists, and said it aimed to eliminate
Hamas's military and overthrow its rule in Gaza.[173]

The IDF imposed a lockdown on the West Bank.[188]

9 October

The IDF struck 500 targets in the Gaza Strip overnight, including the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp, reportedly
causing dozens of casualties, including children.[189] IDF regained full control over Israeli towns bordering Gaza.
Operations against militants continued in Sderot.[190] Hamas said that it would execute Israeli hostages if Israel continued Notification to the Israeli Cabinet of
to bombard "civilian homes without advanced warning".[191] the declaration of war against
Hamas, in the operation Swords of
Defense Minister Gallant announced a "total" blockade of the Gaza Strip, cutting off electricity and blocking the entry of Iron
food and fuel, adding "We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly".[192] Human Rights Watch called
the order "abhorrent" and called on the International Criminal Court to make "note of this call to commit a war
crime".[193][194] The IDF said 15 communities around the Gaza Strip had been evacuated.[195]

The Israeli Air Force deployed C-130 and C-130J transports across Europe to collect hundreds of off-duty IDF personnel
to be deployed in the conflict.[196]

Hamas fired another barrage of rockets towards Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, with one rocket landing near a terminal of Ben
Gurion Airport.[173]

three journalists and injuring dozens.[197]

Israeli forces reclaimed Kfar Aza and began collecting the dead, finding bodies of victims mutilated, with women and
babies beheaded and burnt in their homes. The claims of beheaded babies has not been independently confirmed.[198][199]
The bodies of 40 babies and young children were taken out on gurneys, out of at least 100 civilian victims.[200][201][202]

After issuing evacuation warnings to prevent loss of civilian lives, the IDF launched airstrikes at the al-Daraj and al-Furqan
neighborhoods in Gaza, and the Port of Gaza. It attacked the al-Karama and Rimal neighborhoods of Gaza City, which Building in the Gaza Strip being
hosted ministries of the Hamas-run government, universities, media organizations and aid agencies.[203] Israeli warplanes levelled by Israeli missiles
also struck the Rafah border crossing linking Gaza and Egypt.[204] The family residence of Mohammed Deif in Khan
Younis was struck, killing his father, brother and at least two other relatives.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said that the ministry was purchasing 10,000 rifles to arm security teams in border communities, mixed Jewish-Arab
cities, and West Bank settlements. He added that assault rifles, helmets, and bulletproof vests were being distributed.[205]

Hamas militants attacked another industrial zone in Ashkelon, where at least three of them were killed.[203] Rockets were fired at Tel Aviv and Ashkelon.[203]

11 October

Israeli warplanes struck and destroyed several buildings of the Islamic University of Gaza,[206] saying that it had been
turned into a weapons factory and training ground.[207]

Israel formed an emergency war government, with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defense Minister Gallant, and former
Defense Minister Benny Gantz heading a war cabinet, with Gadi Eizenkot and Ron Dermer as observers.[208]

Hamas fired rockets at Ashkelon.[203] A rocket strike forced UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, who was visiting the
town of Ofakim, to run for cover.[209] One person was injured and four buildings were hit in a rocket attack on Sderot.[210]

Israel said it bombed Hamas's elite Nukhba forces, their command centers, and the residence of a senior Hamas operative that it said stored weapons. Commanders
from two smaller militant groups were also reported killed in airstrikes.[216]

Four people were injured and seven houses were struck by a rocket attack in Sderot.[217]
PFLP commander Awad "Abu Samud" Al-Sultan of the Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades was killed alongside some of his family in an airstrike on the Jabaliya camp
by the IDF. In retaliation, the Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades launched several rockets at Zakim military base.[218]

A shooting took place in Jerusalem which injured at least 2 police officers, one seriously. The assailant was killed by Israeli police. The PFLP claimed
responsibility for the shooting.[219]

Israeli Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Israel Katz said that lifting of the Gaza blockade would not occur until the hostages abducted by Hamas were safely
returned home.[59]

13 October

Early in the day, the IDF issued evacuation warnings for communities north of the Wadi Gaza, including Gaza City, instructing people to move south within 24
hours.[220][221] The evacuation of northern Gaza would involve the displacement of 1.1 million Palestinians, and was deemed impossible by the UN, who warned
of "devastating humanitarian consequences".[222] Shortly after the evacuation orders, UN facilities, including UNRWA,[223] were instructed to move to
Rafah.[220] The Hamas Authority for Refugee Affairs responded by telling residents in northern Gaza to "remain steadfast in your homes and stand firm in the face
of this disgusting psychological war waged by the occupation".[220]

Doctors Without Borders issued a statement calling the order to evacuate "outrageous" and "an attack on medical care and on humanity", and condemned the
Israeli order "in the strongest possible terms".[224] An OHCHR expert demanded that Israel immediately rescind its order, condemning the evacuation order as a
crime against humanity and a blatant violation of international humanitarian law. Paula Gaviria Betancur, Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally
displaced persons, said that "forcible population transfers constitute a crime against humanity, and collective punishment is prohibited under international
humanitarian law".[225] The World Health Organisation released a plea "appealing to Israel to immediately rescind orders for the evacuation of over 1 million
people living north of Wadi Gaza" arguing that it's extremely difficult to move patients in critical care, medical supplies are depleting and hospitals in south Gaza
were "already beyond capacity".[226] Similar statements were issued by UNICEF[227] and the IRC.[228]

Israeli Defense Minister Gallant called on Palestinians to leave northern Gaza, including Gaza City, saying: "The camouflage of the terrorists is the civil
population. Therefore, we need to separate them. So those who want to save their life, please go south."[229]

The IDF said it made localized raids into Gaza, attacking Hamas and searching for hostages.[230][231]

NBC News reported on "top secret" Hamas documents with plans to target elementary schools and a youth center in Sa'ad, to "kill as many people as possible",
take hostages, and move them into the Gaza Strip. The plans were provided to NBC by "Israeli first responders".[232]

The International Committee of the Red Cross issued a rare public appeal for a pause in hostilities,[233] saying that while "nothing can justify the horrific attacks
Israel suffered last weekend" that "those attacks cannot in turn justify the limitless destruction of Gaza", and that Israeli orders to evacuate northern Gaza along
with the total siege on the territory were "not compatible with international humanitarian law".[234]

The IDF announced a six-hour window from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time for refugees to flee south along specified routes within the Gaza Strip.[235] An explosion
at 5:30 p.m. along one of the safe routes killed 70, including women and children.[236] Some sources attributed it to an IDF airstrike, while CNN said the cause
was unclear. The Jerusalem Post said open-source analysts believed the explosion originated from a car on the ground, but the cause was unclear.[237][238] The
Financial Times carried out an investigation, concluding "analysis of the video footage rules out most explanations aside from an Israeli strike", although it was
"difficult to conclusively prove whether these blasts came from an IDF strike, a potential Palestinian rocket misfire or even a car bomb".[239] Former US army
officer Wesley Clark told CNN he would be "very surprised if that would be an Israeli explosion… It looks like something engineered by Hamas to intimidate its
own people", and added Hamas was making efforts to impede the evacuation of Palestinian civilians, employing human shield tactics, and obstructing the exit of
Americans from the strip via the Egyptian border.[240]

The IDF stated Hamas set up road blocks to keep Gaza residents from evacuating south and cause traffic jams.[60]

The Palestine Ministry of Health announced that al-Durrah Children's Hospital in eastern Gaza was evacuated after it said it was targeted by white phosphorus
munitions. Israel denied that it had used such munitions.[241]

Second week (14–20 October)

On 14 October, the IDF said it had killed Hamas's head of aerial operations Murad Abu Murad in an overnight airstrike.[242]

Israeli minister Gideon Sa'ar told Channel 12 News that Gaza "must be smaller at the end of the war" and that "there should be an area that is classified as a
security zone where whoever enters is intercepted". He added: "We must make the end of our campaign clear to everyone around us. Whoever starts a war against
Israel must lose territory."[243][244]

On 15 October, Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Herzog said Israel was "in the process of establishing … a big humanitarian zone in the southern part of
Gaza, with the UN" able to host hundreds of thousands of Gazans.[245]

On 16 October, seven paramedics were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the headquarters of Civil Defense in Gaza City.[246]

A spokesperson for Hamas said they are willing to release international hostages "the moment the conditions on the ground allow".[247]

On 17 October, Israel bombed areas of southern Gaza.[248] Ministry of Health officials in Gaza reported heavy overnight bombing in Khan Younis, Rafah and
Deir el-Balah had killed over 70 people, including families who had evacuated from Gaza City in the north.[249][250]

An explosion occurred in the parking lot of the Al-Ahli Arabi Baptist Hospital in the center of Gaza City, burning some nearby vehicles. The cause of the
explosion was disputed. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry attributed it to an Israeli airstrike and claimed it killed at least 500 civilians in the hospital.[251][252]
This claim was denied by the IDF, who asserted that the explosion resulted from a failed rocket launch by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, targeting the Israeli city of
Haifa. Israel released footage of a rocket appearing to change course and flame out, followed by an explosion in the city below. The IDF also released what it
claimed to be an intercepted phone conversation between Hamas militants acknowledging that the explosion was caused by a PIJ rocket.[253] A PIJ spokesman
denied any involvement.[254][255][256]
On 18 October, President Biden said the Pentagon had independently concluded that the explosion was not caused by Israel, but by "the other team", based on
data from the Defense Department.[257][258] On-the-ground imagery taken after the blast showed minimal structural damage to the hospital and a shallow blast
crater, inconsistent with an Israeli airstrike.[259] The casualty figure reported by the Gaza Health Ministry was disputed by European, Israeli, and American
estimates.[260][261]

An Israeli strike hit a UNWRA school in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, killing six and injuring 12.[262]

The United States announced $100 million in aid to Gaza and the West Bank, and called for crossings to Gaza to be opened for aid.[263]

On 19 October, Israel bombed a building in the complex of the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius, the oldest church in Gaza, killing at least 8 people
and injuring "a large number".[264][265] Later that day, a US warship intercepted several cruise missiles and drones that had been launched from Yemen, whose
target was supposedly Israel.[266][267][268]

On 20 October, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres visited the Rafah crossing.[269] He called on Israel to open a "lifeline" of aid to Gaza, and
defined the wandering and waiting of aid trucks as heartbreaking.[270]

Two hostages with American citizenship were released at the border between Gaza and Israel.[271]

Third week (21–27 October)

On 21 October, a convoy of 20 aid trucks entered Gaza from Egypt through the Rafah crossing with medicine, medical equipment, and some food.[272] According
to an Al Jazeera reporter, Israeli attacks had left holes in the main road, slowing aid buses or trucks, and Egypt was trying to make the road functional again.[273]
The crossing was closed again as soon as the convoy passed through.[274][275] The UN secretary general said that the people in Gaza need "much, much more"
supplies.[276]

On 22 October, Israeli military forces bombed a mosque in the Jenin refugee camp, killing at least two Palestinians.[277]

On 23 October, Hamas released two elderly Israeli women.[278] 85-year-old Yocheved Lifshitz said the following day she was beaten on her way across the
border, but treated kindly by her captors in Gaza.[279][280]

On 24 October, Gaza's health ministry reported that over 700 Palestinians were killed overnight, and that the health system in Gaza was in "total collapse". The
United Nations pleaded with Israel to allow more aid into Gaza.[281][282]

In remarks to the Security Council, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern at "clear violations of international humanitarian law" in
Gaza and also said that "It is important to also recognise the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years
of suffocating occupation", leading the Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan to call for Guterres' resignation.[283][284][285][286][287] Following this, Gueterres said that
he was "shocked by the misrepresentations" of his statement, pointing out he had also said that "…the grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the
appalling attacks by Hamas."[288][289]

On 25 October, The New York Times published a video analysis casting doubt on the official Israeli and U.S. narrative on the al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion,
saying a widely publicized video of an alleged Palestinian rocket breaking up in mid-air in fact showed the break-up of an Israeli rocket some miles away and was
unrelated to the hospital incident.[290]

Several members of the family of Al Jazeera Arabic's Gaza bureau chief Wael Dahdouh were killed in an Israeli airstrike on 25 October in the Nuseirat refugee
camp, south of Wadi Gaza, where they had been sheltering after following the Israeli order for Palestinian civilians to move south from northern Gaza.[291] Al
Jazeera condemned the killings, calling it an "indiscriminate attack".[292] Dahdouh, speaking to Al Jazeera, said "There is no safe place in Gaza at all".[293] The
Israeli army confirmed it had conducted an airstrike in the area near where Dahdouh's family had been sheltering, saying they were targeting "Hamas terrorist
infrastructure".[294]

On 27 October, in the UK, over 250 lawyers and legal academics called on the UK government to press for a ceasefire in Gaza and to stop the sale of arms to
Israel that might be in breach of international law, saying that there were serious breaches of international law being committed in Gaza.[295] The Palestinian Red
Crescent reported that it had lost contact with its headquarters and that the shutdown disrupted the ability for Gazans to contact emergency services.[296]

Also on 27 October, the UN general assembly voted overwhelmingly for a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian truce in Gaza and demanding aid
access.[297] The resolution attracted 121 votes in favor and 44 abstentions; 14 countries voted no, namely Israel, the United States, Austria, Croatia, the Czech
Republic, Fiji, Guatemala, Hungary, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay and Tonga.[298][299]

Invasion of Gaza Strip (27 October–present)

On 27 October, internet and mobile phone services in Gaza were almost completely cut off as Israel intensified its bombing Tedros Adhanom Ghebre
campaign.[301] Following this, IDF launched a large-scale ground incursion into the Gaza Strip. Clashes between Hamas @DrTedros
and IDF were reported near the towns of Beit Hanoun and Bureij.[302]
The @PalestineRCS report of

29 October 2023[300]
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Israel should take great care to distinguish between Hamas terrorists and civilians, who were not legitimate
targets; President Biden would call Prime Minister Netanyahu later that day to reiterate this. In addition, Netanyahu should "rein in" violence from extremist
Jewish settlers in the West Bank.[309] A prosecutor of the International Criminal Court visiting the Rafah crossing announced the court had "active investigations
ongoing in relation to the crimes allegedly committed in Israel" on 7 October, as well as in Gaza and the West Bank dating back to 2014.[310]

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, an Israeli group representing the families of those taken hostage in Gaza, said that they supported a blanket release of
all Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the return of all Israeli hostages held in Gaza.[311] The leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, said the group
was prepared to release all Israeli hostages in return for the release of all Palestinian prisoners. The IDF spokesman dismissed the report as "psychological terror
cynically used by Hamas to create pressure."[312]

On 30 October, the IDF blocked the Salah al-Din Road, which is a major thoroughfare connecting the northern and southern parts of the Gaza Strip. Additionally,

Hostages

About 200–250 people were taken hostage during the Israeli attacks, mostly civilians.[144][149][150] On 8 October,
Palestinian Islamic Jihad claimed to be holding at least 30 captives.[354] At least four people were reported taken from Kfar
Aza.[183] Videos from Gaza appeared to show captured people, with Gazan residents cheering trucks carrying dead
bodies.[103] Israel reported four captives were killed in Be'eri,[355] while Hamas indicated that an IDF airstrike on Gaza on
9 October killed four captives.[356] According to Israeli officials, once Israel begins a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, it
will be very difficult to reach an agreement on the release of the hostages.[357]

Civilians believed to be held captive in Gaza include families, children, festival-goers, peace activists, caregivers, and Posters in Tel Aviv calling for the
elders such as 74-year-old Vivian Silver, a peace activist and former board member of the human rights organisation return of Israeli hostages in Gaza

gun point, and assaulted by police in Tel Aviv on the night of 13–14 October.[378][379]

Migrant workers

At least 50 migrant workers were killed due to Hamas's attack on 7 October and around 100,000 migrant workers are trapped in Israel during the conflict due to
debt from huge fees they had to pay to recruitment agencies for getting jobs.[380]

Gaza Strip

Civilians

The Gaza Strip suffered heavy civilian casualties from Israeli bombardment.[381] Since the war began, over 8,000
Palestinians were killed, 20,000 injured, and 1,600 missing under rubble. Within three weeks, this was bloodiest war ever
fought in Gaza’s history, eclipsing the combined death toll of the Second Intifada, Operation Cast Lead, and Operation
Protective Edge.[382][383]

There were reports of mass casualties resulting from an Israeli airstrike on the Jabalia Camp, where at least 50 people were
killed.[190] An Israeli airstrike at a United Nations school in the al-Maghazi refugee camp killed at least six people.[384]
Significant civilian casualties were reported following the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion.[256] Other mass casualty Man with body bags in Jabalia, Gaza
strikes included the Church of Saint Porphyrius airstrike and the al-Shati refugee camp airstrike. Strip

On 13 October, the Palestinian Ministry of Health noted 20 surnames had been removed from Gaza's civil registry,
meaning every single person in that entire family had been killed.[385] On 16 October, the UNRWA stated there were so
many deaths in Gaza that there were no longer enough body bags.[386] Because the morgues were so overcrowded, bodies were contained in ice cream
trucks.[387][388]

On 25 October, Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani noted the death toll of children in Gaza had
already exceeded the total number killed in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[389] Ukraine's total civilian death toll was 9,614 as of 10 September 2023.[390] In a
statement, UNICEF regional director Adele Khodr stated Gaza's child death toll was a "growing stain on our collective conscience".[391]

West Bank

In the West Bank, related violence during the conflict killed 61 Palestinians and wounded at least 300.[392] Several thousand Gazan workers were in Israel at the
time when the conflict started. As of 16 October some of them were detained at a "holding facility" in the West Bank while others sought refuge in the Palestinian
communities of the West Bank.[393] The Minister of Labour for the Palestinian Authority estimated 4,500 workers are unaccounted for while Israeli media outlet
N12 reported 4,000 Gazans were in Israeli holding facilities. The Palestinian Prisoners Society said that Israeli forces arrested over 1,450 West Bank Palestinians
since October 7.[394] On 29 October, thirty Israeli human rights organizations addressed settler violence in the West Bank, asking the international community to
"act urgently" to end it.[395]

Death count

On 25 October, U.S. President Joe Biden stated he had "no confidence" in the death totals reported by the Gaza Health Ministry.[396][397] In response, Human
Rights Watch stated that after three decades working in Gaza and conducting its own investigation, it considers Gaza Health Ministry's totals to be reliable.[397]
Matthew Miller made a similar claim to Biden, despite the fact that the US Department of State cites the Gaza Health Ministry's death tolls in its own internal
reports.[398] On 26 October, the Gaza Health Ministry responded by releasing a 212-page document of 6,747 individual names and ID numbers as well as the
mention of 281 unidentified people killed in the conflict so far.[399]

In fact, every death registered in Gaza is the result of a verified change in the population registry approved by the Government of Israel.[400] The Israeli
government notes that the Israeli "Population Registry Office works to update population registry files located on the Israeli side to match the files that are held" in
the West Bank and Gaza.[401] On 26 October, the United Nations humanitarian office added they use the Gaza Ministry of Health's death totals because they are
"clearly sourced".[402] Yara Asi, a professor at the University of Central Florida, called Biden's statement "appalling."[403]

Journalists in Gaza

At least six Palestinian journalists in Gaza were reported to have been killed by Israeli attacks while in the line of duty. Ibrahim Mohammad Lafi, a photographer

were injured, and three were missing or detained.[404] On 22 October, Rushdi Sarraj was killed by an Israeli airstrike on his home.[405] On 27 October, the IDF
told Reuters and Agence France Presse it would not guarantee their journalists' safety in Gaza.[406]

the start of the fighting.[211] MSF said it had counted 16 medical personnel killed since 7 October.[408] MSF said a nurse and an ambulance driver were killed, and
several others injured in Israeli strikes on the Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis and the Indonesia Hospital in Gaza City.[126] A
paramedic was reported to be in critical condition.[124][409][410] The Indonesian Medical Emergency Rescue Committee
(MER-C) confirmed a staff member was killed near an operational MER-C vehicle.[411][412] On 22 October, UNRWA
stated 29 staff members had been killed in Gaza.[413]

Militants
Palestine Red Crescent Society
The Israeli Defense Forces estimated on 10 October that the bodies of approximately 1,000 Palestinian militants had been ambulance hit by an Israeli missile
found inside Israel.[16] Several Hamas leaders have been reported killed.[414] Hamas co-founder, Abdul Fatah Dukhan, in Khan Yunis
was killed. The following day, the head of Hamas's National Relations Office, Zakaria Abu Muammar, was reportedly
killed in Khan Yunis.[415] On 11 October, the IDF confirmed the death of Jawad Abu Shamala, who served as Hamas's
economy minister, in a drone strike.[416][417] Further, on 14 October, the IDF announced the killing of Hamas's head of aerial operations, Murad Abu Murad, in an
overnight airstrike.[242][418]

On 16 October, another member of the Hamas political bureau, Osama Mazini, was killed in an airstrike at his home.[419] In addition to the targeted strikes on
Hamas leaders. On 9 October, an airstrike in Rafah killed a local armed group leader.[173] On 17 October, Ayman Nofal was killed.[420] On 18 October, Jamila Al-
Shanti, the first woman to be elected to Hamas's political bureau and a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, was killed in an airstrike in Jabalia.[421] On
19 October, Jihad Muheisen was killed. Rafat Harb Hussein Abu Hilal was killed by an airstrike. On 22 October, the New York Times estimated that of the more
than 4,000 Gazans killed by Israeli airstrikes, 13 were Hamas officials.[422]

Lebanon

During clashes along the Israel–Lebanon border, an Israeli artillery strike on 13 October killed Reuters videographer Issam Abdallah and injured six other
journalists from Reuters, Agence France-Presse and Al Jazeera.[423] On 29 October, Reporters Without Borders reported Israel had intentionally targeted
Abdallah.[424] In addition, between 24 and 26 people have been killed in Lebanon. On 23 October, Vice reported that an intervention by Hezbollah following the
start of a ground invasion of Gaza would lead to Israeli army's resources being heavily stretched and that sustained rocket attacks by Hezbollah could greatly
damage Israel's economy and military.[425]

Foreign and dual-national casualties

As of 11 October, the The Washington Post reported that persons from 24 countries had been killed or gone missing during the conflict.[426]

Humanitarian situation

In Gaza
The humanitarian situation in Gaza has been termed a "crisis" and a "catastrophe".[474][475] As a result of Israel's siege,
Gaza faces shortages of fuel, food, medication, water, and medical supplies.[474][476] The siege resulted in a 90% drop in
electricity availability, impacting hospital power supplies, sewage plants, and shutting down the desalination plants that
provide drinking water.[477] On 13 October, UNRWA commissioner Philippe Lazzarini said, "The scale and speed of the
unfolding humanitarian crisis is bone-chilling".[478]

Israeli Major General (ret.) Giora Eiland, stated Israel had "no choice" but to make Gaza a place "impossible to live
in."[479] Eiland argued a "severe humanitarian crisis" was necessary, and that the Israeli military needed to make Gaza "a
place where no human being can exist."[480] Residents inspect the ruins of an

On 16 October, doctors warned of disease outbreaks due to hospital overcrowding and unburied bodies.[475] On 18 airstrikes
October, the United States UN representative Linda Thomas-Greenfield vetoed a UN Security Council resolution urging
humanitarian aid to Gaza.[481] The World Health Organization stated the situation was "spiralling out of control".[482]

On 20 October, Doctors Without Borders stated it was "deeply concerned for the fate of everyone in Gaza right now".[483] On 21 October, a joint statement by
UNICEF, WHO, UNDP, UNFPA, and WFP stated, "the world must do more" for Gaza.[484] On 26 October, the World Organization stated Gaza's humanitarian
and health crisis had "reached catastrophic proportions".[485]

On 27 October, Gaza suffered a complete communications blackout. In response, ActionAid stated it was now "nearly impossible" for people to call or receive
emergency services, noting they were "gravely concerned" for "all the people of Gaza."[486] On 28 October, the Red Cross president Mirjana Spoljaric Egger
stated she was "shocked by the intolerable level of human suffering."[487]

Food

On 18 October, Alia Zaki, a spokesperson for the World Food Programme stated that "people are at the risk of starvation".[488] On the same day, an Israeli airstrike
destroyed a bakery in the Nuseirat Camp, killing four bakers.[488] On X, journalist Refaat Alareer wrote the bakery was one of the last in the central and southern
Gaza Strip.[489] On 19 October, several bakeries were reportedly hit by Israeli airstrikes, making it even harder for residents to find food.[490] On 21 October, the
UN released a statement saying food stocks were "nearly exhausted".[491] Cindy McCain, executive director of the UN World Food Programme, stated people
were "literally starving to death as we speak".[492] By 24 October, many bakeries had reportedly closed down, while those still open had hours-long lines.[493] On
27 October, a spokesperson for the World Food Programme stated food and other basic supplies were "running out".[494] By 28 October Israeli airstrikes had
destroyed a fifth of the bakeries operating in the Strip.[495][496]

Health

Physical health and disease

Public health experts warned of the outbreak and spread of disease in Gaza. According to Oxfam and the United Nations, Gaza's lack of clean water and sanitation
would trigger a rise in cholera and other deadly infectious diseases.[497] Oxfam noted Gaza's sewage pumping stations and wastewater treatment facilities had
ceased operations, so the buildup of solid waste and unburied bodies were likely vectors of disease.[497] Due to the lack of clean drinking water, Gaza residents
were drinking water contaminated with sewage, seawater, and farm water, another major source of disease.[497] Richard Brennan, regional emergency director at
the World Health Organization, noted, "The conditions are ripe for the spread of a number of diarrhoeal and skin disease".[497]

Doctors also warned of overcrowded conditions at schools and hospitals. Dr. Nahed Abu Taaema stated overcrowded shelters were "a prime breeding ground for
disease to spread".[498] Abu Taaema reported a rise in rashes, lung infections, and stomach issues.[498] On 24 October, the Gaza Health Ministry recorded 3,150
cases of disease from drinking contaminated water, mostly among children.[499] The lack of medical supplies was another reported issue, as the World Health
Organization reported a sanitation crisis in hospitals, with some struggling to sanitize surgical equipment.[500] Dr. Iyad Issa Abu Zaher stated, "The outbreak of
disease is inevitable".[501] UNRWA schools, where an estimated 600,000 Gazans were sheltering, reported outbreaks of scabies and chicken pox, as well as a lack
of basic hygiene for women menstruating.[502]

Psychological health

Weeks of sustained air strikes and explosions have contributed to the psychological destruction of children in Gaza. Following 16 days of bombardment, children
developed severe trauma, with symptoms including convulsion, aggression, bed-wetting, and nervousness. 90% of children in pediatric hospitals in Gaza exhibited
or reported symptoms of anxiety, the majority exhibited post-traumatic stress symptoms, and 82% reported fears of imminent death.[503]

Airstrikes

In just one week, Israel dropped more than 6,000 bombs on Gaza.[504] Israel's airstrikes were described as a carpet bombing and "indiscriminate".[505][506] By 16
October, airstrikes had killed 2,750 people, including more than 700 children, and wounded nearly 10,000.[507] An additional 1,000 people were missing beneath
rubble.[508] On 16 October, Israeli airstrikes destroyed a UNRWA humanitarian aid supply depot.[509][510] The same day, airstrikes destroyed the headquarters of
the Palestinian Civil Defence, the agency responsible for emergency response services, including firefighting and search and rescue.[511]

On 17 October, Israel conducted intensive airstrikes in southern Gaza, in areas it told residents to seek refuge.[248] An airstrike at a UNRWA school killed at least
six people.[512][513] On 18 October, the Ahmed Abdel Aziz School in Khan Yunis was hit.[514] On the same day, the death toll in Gaza had risen to 3,478.[515] On
19 October, an Israeli airstrike hit the Church of Saint Porphyrius, where 500 people were sheltering.[516] Israel "pounded" areas in south Gaza it had declared as
"safe zones", raising fears amongst residents that nowhere was safe.[490] On 19 October, U.S. officials reported alarm at Israeli comments about the "inevitability
of civilian casualties", after Israel used the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as historical comparisons for their Gaza campaign.[517]

On 20 October, Israeli continued to bombard south Gaza.[518] IDF spokesman Nir Dinar said, "There are no safe zones".[519] On 21 October, Israel intensified its
airstrikes in advance of an expected ground invasion.[520][521] On 22 October, Israeli airplanes bombed the areas around the Al Shifa and Al Quds hospitals on a
night described as the "bloodiest" of the conflict so far.[522][523] On 23 October, airstrikes killed 436 people in the al-Shati camp and southern Khan Younis in just
one night.[524][525] On 26 October, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu stated Israel had "already eliminated thousands of terrorists – and this is only the
beginning".[526] On 27 October, the representative of the UN health agency stated more than 1,000 unidentified people were buried under rubble.[527]
By 28 October, the Israeli Air Force bombed residential buildings without any prior warning, killing an estimated 50 people per hour.[528] On 29 October, the IDF
bombed the area around the Al-Quds hospital.[529] Mads Gilbert responded, stating Israeli claims of hidden military complexes beneath Gaza hospitals were "lies,
intimidating and scaring people, and excuses to bomb the hospitals."[530]

Water supply

Before the war Gaza purchased a small share of its water from Israel (6% in 2021).[531] Israel's blockade of water pipelines exacerbated water supply issues in the
Gaza Strip, which already had a near lack of fit-to-drink aquifers.[532] On 12 October, the United Nations said that Israeli actions had caused water shortages
affecting 650,000 people.[216] On 14 October, the UNRWA announced Gaza no longer had clean drinking water, and two million people were at risk of
death.[533][534]

On 15 October, Israel agreed to resume water supply, but only in southern Gaza.[535] Because Gaza's water pumps require electricity, the agreement did not ensure
renewed water access.[536][537] On 16 October, Minister of Energy Israel Katz said that water was available near southern Khan Younis, but the Gaza Interior
Ministry denied this.[538] By 16 October, residents of Gaza drank seawater and brackish water from farm wells, raising fears of waterborne diseases.[507][536]
Doctors and hospital staff drank IV solution.[539]

By 17 October, the UN noted Gaza's last seawater desalination plant had shut down.[540] The Guardian noted fears were growing people had begun to die from
dehydration.[532] On 18 October, Israel announced it would not allow fuel to enter Gaza.[541] The UNRWA stated fuel was needed to resume water pump
operations.[541] Some Gazans purchased water from private vendors who purified water with solar panels.[542] On 19 October, the UN reported Gazans were
surviving on a daily average of three liters of water each.[543] The World Health Organization recommends a minimum of 50 to 100 liters per day.[540] On 22
October, the UN stated Gazans had resorted to drinking dirty water.[544] On 25 October, Oxfam announced Gaza had "virtually run out" of water.[545] On 29
October, Palestinian Water Authority chair Mazen Ghoneim stated the water shortage would reduce, as Israel reopened a second water pipeline.[546]

Displacement

On 10 October, the United Nations said the fighting had displaced more than 423,000 Palestinians,[26] while Israeli airstrikes had destroyed 1,000 homes and
rendered 560 housing units uninhabitable.[216] By 15 October, an estimated 1 million people in Gaza had been displaced, many of them fleeing northern Gaza
following Israel's mandated evacuation.[547][548] Due to continued heavy Israeli bombing in south Gaza, some northern Gazan refugees moved back to Gaza
City.[549][550] On 19 October, the UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs noted 98,000 houses, or 1 in every 4 homes in Gaza, had been destroyed by Israeli
bombardments.[551] On 21 October, the UNRWA stated 500,000 people were sheltering in UN facilities, and conditions had grown "untenable".[552] Many others
sheltered in hospitals.[553] By 22 October, the UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs stated 42% of homes in Gaza had been destroyed.[554] By 23 October, an
estimated 1.4 million people in Gaza had been left homeless.[555]

Communications

On 27 October, Gaza underwent a near total communications blackout after Paltel's communication towers were destroyed in an Israeli attack.[556] This cut off
Gaza from any phone or internet service.[557] As a result, humanitarian groups, including UNICEF, WHO, the Palestine Red Crescent Society, Doctors Without
Borders, American Friends Service Committee, Medical Aid for Palestinians, and ActionAid lost all contact with their staff.[558] The Palestinian Red Crescent
Society stated wounded people would no longer be able to dial Gaza's emergency number for an ambulance.[559] The Red Crescent stated it was "deeply
concerned" about the ability of medics to provide care, noting it had lost all contact with operations room and staff in Gaza.[559] On 28 October, Elon Musk
offered to provide humanitarian groups with Starlink access, but Shlomo Karhi stated Israel would fight it with every "means at its disposal."[560][561]

The UN humanitarian coordinator for Palestine, Lynn Hastings, noted that hospitals and aid operations could not operate without phone lines or internet.[562] The
Committee to Protect Journalists warned the world was "losing a window into the reality" of the situation in Gaza.[563] Michael Lynk, a former UN rapporteur,
stated one purpose of the internet blackout was to keep "the world blinded on what's happening."[564] The WHO secretary-general Tedros Ghebreyesus stated he
was "gravely concerned" by the blackout for the "immediate health risks" it posed to patients and for the safety of WHO staff.[558][565] In a post on X, ActionAid
wrote the blackout would make it "nearly impossible" for people to seek help, and noted they were "gravely concerned" for "all the people of Gaza."[486]

On 28 October, Netblocks stated Gaza's telephone and internet communications were gradually returning.[566]

Humanitarian aid

On 9 October, Israel implemented a complete blockade on Gaza, preventing the entry of any humanitarian aid.[568] Egypt Joe Biden Twitter
closed its border to prevent civilians fleeing, but said that it would allow aid to be delivered through its border.[569] It @POTUS
designated El Arish International Airport in the Sinai Peninsula as a hub for international humanitarian aid.[570] On 12
October, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres urged the swift and unobstructed delivery of life-saving I grieve with the families of
provisions, such as fuel, sustenance, and clean water.[571] those killed or wounded in the

By 16 October, no aid had entered Gaza since the Israeli blockade was implemented.[572] The IDF continued to bomb the We're working with our partners
Rafah crossing, as Israel declined to assure Egyptian authorities it would pause airstrikes for civilian aid convoys.[573] In in the region to get life-saving

we can.
either".[575][576]
19 October 2023 [567]
On 18 October, Israel announced it would allow food, water, and medicine to be delivered to a "safe zone" in west Khan
Younis in southern Gaza, distributed by the United Nations.[577][541][578] Later the same day, U.S. president Joe Biden
announced Egypt agreed to allow 20 trucks with aid to enter Gaza by 20 October.[579][580] More than 100 trucks of aid
were waiting at the Rafah crossing to enter into Gaza.[581] In a statement, Human Rights Watch stated that without electricity or fuel, however, the provided aid
would fail "meeting the needs of Gaza's population".[582][577] On 19 October, US Special Envo y David M. Satterfield stated the US wanted "sustained" aid into
Gaza.[583] The same day, a spokesman for Oxfam stated aid distribution in Gaza would be a "big challenge", and the UN reported at least 100 trucks a day of aid
were needed.[584][585] On 21 October 20 trucks of aid entered Gaza.[586] Antonio Guterres stated it was not enough to prevent an "humanitarian
catastrophe".[587] Martin Griffiths said the UN was working to develop an "at-scale operation".[588] On 22 October, following the second delivery of trucks,
Biden and Netanyahu stated aid would continue to be allowed into Gaza.[589]
On 27 October, Lynn Hastings, the UN's humanitarian coordinator for Palestine, stated Israel opposed the delivery of humanitarian aid to northern Gaza.[590] As a
result, UN staff would need to risk their own lives if it was determined such aid would be "lifesaving" to people in need.[590] Philippe Lazzarini stated "soon many
more will die" from Israel's blockade.[591] On 28 October, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry stated "Israeli obstacles" were impeding the delivery of
humanitarian aid.[592] The United Nations announced the communications blackout had brought aid delivery to a "complete halt."[593] On 29 October, a
humanitarian zone was announced in the Khan Younis area, along with a claim that aid trucks would increase "significantly."[594]

Healthcare

The healthcare system of Gaza faced several humanitarian crises as a result of the conflict. Due to Israel's siege, hospitals
faced a lack of fuel and relied on backup generators for the first two weeks of the war.[595] By 23 October, however, the
Indonesia Hospital ran out of fuel and completely shutdown.[596] Hospitals around Gaza also warned they would soon lose
power completely, which would lead to the death of 140 premature babies in NICUs.[597] The Gaza Health Ministry noted
more than 60 medical staffers had been killed by Israeli airstrikes, as well as ambulances, health institutions, its
headquarters, the Rimal Clinic, and the International Eye Center.[598][408] The Medecins Sans Frontieres said it had
counted 18 ambulances destroyed and eight medical facilities destroyed or damaged.[408] On 24 October, a Health Ministry
spokesman announced the healthcare system had "totally collapsed".[599] Medic carrying wounded child in

11–18 October

Following the shutdown of the Gaza Strip power station on 11 October, it was reported that hospitals in Gaza would soon run out of available fuel to power
generators.[600] On 14 October, the Diagnostic Cancer Treatment Centre of the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital was partially destroyed by Israeli rocket fire.[601] In a
statement on 15 October, the World Health Organization stated four hospitals were no longer functioning after being targeted by Israeli airstrikes.[602] On 15
October, healthcare professionals warned if hospital facilities' generators stopped, patients would die when the power was lost.[603]

On 14 October, Israel ordered the evacuation of 22 hospitals in northern Gaza. The WHO described the order as a "death sentence" for the sick and wounded.[604]
Doctors across northern Gaza stated they were unable to follow Israel's evacuation order, since their patients, including newborns in the ICU, would die.[603] On
16 October, Doctors Without Borders president Christos Christou wrote that the situation in Gaza was "horrific and catastrophic. … No electricity, no medical
supplies. Surgeons in Al-Shifa hospital are now operating without painkillers."[605][488] On 17 October, a widely condemned explosion in the al-Ahli courtyard
resulted in significant fatalities.[256] On 18 October, Doctors Without Borders stated severely wounded patients would die as the health system collapsed.[606]

19–26 October

On 19 October, the Ministry of Health asked for donations of liters of fuels to continue powering hospital generators, and Gaza's only cancer hospital announced it
had "perilously low" levels of remaining fuel.[607][608][609] Doctors noted pediatric patients had developed gastroenteritis infections due to the lack of clean
water.[610] Airstrikes hit the area around al-Quds Hospital.[611] The Red Cross stated Gaza's entire health system was "on its knees".[612] On 20 October, Doctors
Without Borders stated thousands of people were at risk of dying "within hours" because it was "impossible" to give them medical attention.[613] Doctors at al-
Quds Hospital and the Palestine Red Crescent reported they received a call from the Israeli army to evacuate the hospital or "bear the consequences".[613][614]

On 21 October, the Ministry of Health noted Israel had attacked 69 health facilities, 24 ambulances, put 7 hospitals out of commission, and killed 37 medical
staff.[615] Medical Aid for Palestinians and UNICEF issued an "urgent warning" that 130 premature babies would die if fuel did not reach Gaza hospitals
soon.[616][617] According to the UN Population Fund, there are 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza.[618] A UN statement signed by five major branches stated
deaths could soon "skyrocket" from disease and "lack of healthcare".[491]

On 23 October, the Indonesia Hospital ran out of fuel and completely lost power.[619] On 24 October, a Health Ministry spokesman announced the healthcare
system had "totally collapsed", with 65 medics killed, 25 ambulances destroyed, and many hospitals soon shutting down due to lack of fuel.[620] The World
Health Organization warned 46 of Gaza's 72 healthcare facilities had stopped functioning.[621] The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital faced a dialysis crisis, with hundreds
sharing only 24 dialysis machines.[501] On 25 October, Dr. Ashraf al-Qudra, of the Health Ministry, stated the health system was "completely out of service".[622]
The Health Ministry stated a total of 7,000 sick and wounded hospital patients were facing death.[623]

Since 27 October

On 27 October, a Red Cross medical team arrived in Gaza, bringing medical supplies, a war surgery team, and a weapons contamination specialist.[624] The same
day, the Al Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis received a delivery of medical supplies, including antiseptic, injections, and medical mattresses, raising hopes more
could be received "in the coming days".[625] The IDF claimed military operations were hidden beneath the Al-Shifa Hospital.[626][627] In response, former UN
rapporteur Michael Lynk stated the IDF was preparing "public opinion for the attacks to come."[628] On 28 October, a communications blackout meant wounded
civilians could not dial emergency services.[629] Ambulances were then evenly geographically distributed to provide "faster access to the injured."[630]

On 29 October, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that it had received warnings from Israeli authorities to immediately evacuate al-Quds hospital in the Gaza
Strip, as it was “going to be bombarded”. [631] That day, an Israeli airstrike struck 20 metres (65 feet) from the hospital.[632] Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta wrote on X
that he was increasingly treating patients with "distinctive phosphorus burns."[633]

Countries ready to take Gaza refugees

Scotland's First Minister, Humza Yousaf, has urged the international community to establish a refugee program for those fleeing violence in Gaza. Scotland is
ready to offer sanctuary to refugees arriving in the UK. Yousaf called on the UK government to create a resettlement scheme for Gazans and asked Israel not to
resort to collective punishment. He also emphasized the need for medical evacuation support for injured civilians. Yousaf has personal ties to Gaza, with family
members there. He stressed unity and safety for all communities in Scotland.[634] There has been no official response on this matter from the UK. Scotland, with
its autonomous governance, remains a part of the United Kingdom. European countries are wary of refugee influx due to recent pro-Palestinian protests.[635]

Both Jordan and Egypt have expressed their reluctance to receive Palestinian refugees during the conflict.[636] King Abdullah II of Jordan warned against pushing
Palestinians to seek refuge in Jordan emphasizing the need to address the humanitarian situation within in Gaza and the West Bank.[637]
In the United States, there is a divide on accepting refugees from Gaza, with former President Donald Trump and Gov. Rob DeSantis opposing it while many
Americans support helping Gaza civilians. Some Democratic Party lawmakers, including Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Bowman, emphasize the U.S.'s historical
role in refugee acceptance and suggest being prepared to welcome Palestinian refugees who are not affiliated with Hamas. President Biden announced a $100
million aid package for Gaza civilians during his visit to Israel, demonstrating U.S. support amid international tensions.[636]

In Israel

A Magen David Adom ambulance was reportedly taken by Palestinian militants to Gaza during their attack on 7 October.[129] The Barzilai Medical Center in
Ashkelon was struck by rockets from Gaza on 8 October[71] and on 11 October.[638]

As of 17 October, some 120,000 Israeli civilians from both southern and northern Israel were internally displaced,[639] including almost all 30,000 residents of
Sderot and residents of communities within four kilometers of the Gaza border. Evacuations of residents in communities four to seven kilometers from the border
were ongoing. An unknown number of residents of northern Israel had moved towards the center of the country, fearing a second front opening up with
Lebanon.[640][641] As of 22 October, this figure was raised to 200,000.[27]

War crimes
The International Criminal Court issued a statement on 10 October confirming that its mandate to investigate alleged war crimes committed since June 2014 in the
State of Palestine extends to the current conflict.[642][643] ICC prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan visited the Rafah crossing and said "the ICC is "independently
looking at the situation in Palestine," including "events in Israel and allegations that Palestinian nationals have also committed crime."[644] The UN Human Rights
Council said it had "clear evidence" of war crimes by both sides.[643] A UN Commission to the Israel-Palestine conflict said there is "clear evidence that war
crimes may have been committed in the latest explosion of violence in Israel and Gaza, and all those who have violated international law and targeted civilians
must be held accountable".[645][646][647]

In a 12 October preliminary legal assessment condemning Hamas's attacks in Israel, international humanitarian law scholar and Dean of Cornell Law School Jens
David Ohlin said the evidence suggested Hamas's "killings and kidnappings" potentially violated Articles 6–8 of the Rome Statute as well as the Genocide
Convention and were "crimes against humanity".[648] On 15 October, TWAILR published a statement signed by over 800 legal scholars expressing "alarm about
the possibility of the crime of genocide being perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip".[649]

The Israeli order to impose a "complete siege" on Gaza in which food, fuel and water would be denied was criticized as a blatant war crime by human rights
organizations,[650][651] with Tom Dannenbaum, co-director of the Center for International Law & Governance at the Fletcher School at Tufts University, writing
that the order "commands the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, which is a violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime (ICC Statute,
article 8(2)(b)(xxv)). It may also satisfy the legal threshold for the crime against humanity of inhumane acts (7(1)(K)) and, depending on what happens from here,
other crimes against humanity, such as those relating to killing (murder and extermination) (7(1)(a-b))."[652] Oxfam issued a statement that accused Israel of using
starvation as a weapon of war, saying "International Humanitarian Law (IHL) strictly prohibits the use of starvation as a method of warfare and as the occupying
power in Gaza, Israel is bound by IHL obligations to provide for the needs and protection of the population of Gaza".[653][654]

Independent United Nations experts[l] condemned the Israel Defense Forces' actions in Gaza, saying Israel had resorted to "indiscriminate military attacks" and
"collective punishment".[656] Israeli authorities said that the airstrikes are intended to degrade the military infrastructure which is frequently constructed in close
proximity to residential areas and civilian establishments.[657] They also denounced the "deliberate and widespread killing and hostage-taking of innocent
civilians" by Hamas, calling them "heinous violations of international law and international crimes".[655] Israel's forced evacuation of northern Gaza also drew
international condemnation. On 13 October, Paula Gaviria Betancur, UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons, termed it a
"crime against humanity".[225] On 14 October, Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, characterized it
as a "repeat of the 1948 Nakba", noting Israeli public officials' open advocacy for another Nakba.[68]

Negotiations and diplomacy

On 8 October, the United Nations Security Council held a closed-door meeting for 90 minutes on the conflict. The meeting concluded without the unanimity
required for a joint statement to be released.[658]

On 9 October, Reuters reported that Qatar was mediating talks between Israel and Hamas to secure the release of female Israeli hostages in exchange for Israel
releasing 36 Palestinian women and children.[659] Israel denied such negotiations were taking place.[659]

An Egyptian official told the Associated Press that Israel sought Egyptian assistance to ensure the safety of hostages held by Palestinian militants, and that Egypt's
intelligence chief contacted Hamas and Islamic Jihad to seek information.[660] Egyptian officials were reportedly mediating the release of Palestinian women in
Israeli prisons in exchange for Israeli women captured by Palestinian militants.[173]

Diplomats, concerned that Israel has no plan post war and looking to limit the humanitarian crisis as well as prevent any regional expansion of the war, are urging
delay of a full-scale land invasion of Gaza.[661] Russia requested a United Nations Security Council vote on 15 October on a draft resolution calling for a
humanitarian ceasefire.[662] The Russian draft was rejected while negotiations continued on a Brazilian draft resolution.[663] On 18 October, the United States
vetoed a UN resolution that "condemned the Hamas attack on Israel, called for humanitarian pauses in all attacks to allow the delivery of lifesaving aid to civilians,
and called for Israel to withdraw its directive for civilians to evacuate the northern part of the Gaza Strip".

The US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution, sponsored by Brazil and supported by 12 of the 15 Council members, calling for "humanitarian pauses" to
deliver aid to Gazan civilians. The UK and Russia abstained.[664][665] Louis Charbonneau at Human Rights Watch said the US had again "cynically used their
veto to prevent the UN Security Council from acting on Israel and Palestine at a time of unprecedented carnage". The US Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-
Greenfield, explained that the US wanted more time to let American on-the-ground diplomacy "play out", and criticized the text for failing to mention Israel's right
to self-defense, in line with the UN Charter – a point echoed by UK Ambassador to the UN Barbara Woodward.[666][667][668] Subsequently, on 25 October,
China and Russia vetoed a US drafted resolution and a Russian drafted resolution was vetoed by the UK and US.[669] On 27 October the UNGA adopted a
resolution calling for a "humanitarian truce". An amendment calling for condemnnation of the 7 October "terrorist attacks" and immediate release of hostages was
rejected.[670][671]

UN Security Council meeting on October 24, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a ceasefire.[689][690] While condemning Hamas's "appalling"
attacks, he emphasized that these actions couldn't "justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people" and acknowledged the historical grievances of
Palestinians. Israeli officials criticized Guterres, with the Israeli foreign minister canceling a meeting and demanding Guterres's resignation.[691] Russian U.N.
Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia stated, "the whole world" is expecting the UN to call for a ceasefire.[692] On 25 October, the Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs

Military aid to Israel

Hours after Hamas's attack, U.S. President Joe Biden promised "rock-solid and unwavering" support to Israel. U.S.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in an interview with ABC News, condemned Hamas's "massive terrorist attack" and
stated, "We have immediately engaged our Israeli partners and allies. President Joe Biden was on the phone with Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu early yesterday to assure him of our full support." [700][701] As Israel prepares to launch a
possible ground invasion of Gaza, the Biden administration and leading members of Congress are preparing an aid package
from the United States with about $2 billion in additional funding to support Israel, according to Time.[702] On 12 October,
Blinken went to Israel and met with its leaders as part of a visit that included upcoming meetings with Palestinian president
Mahmoud Abbas and King Abdullah II of Jordan.[216]

Defense Yoav Gallant in Tel Aviv,
Israel, 13 October 2023
On 19 October, US State Department official Josh Paul, who spent more than 11 years as the director of congressional and
public affairs at the bureau which oversees arms transfers to foreign nations, resigned in protest at the US government's
decision to send weapons to Israel. He stated in his resignation letter that "blind support for one side" led to policy
decisions that he described as "shortsighted, destructive, unjust and contradictory to the very values we publicly espouse" and that "the response Israel is taking,
and with it the American support both for that response and for the status quo of the occupation, will only lead to more and deeper suffering for both the Israeli and
the Palestinian people".[706]

Reactions

Reactions in Israel

Following the Hamas attack on Israel, the protest group Kaplan Force cancelled its protest against the Israeli judicial reform scheduled on 7 October, extending
support to the IDF amidst the crisis.[707] Other protest groups like Forum 555 and Brothers in Arms also urged reservists to serve if called up.[70]
Adalah, a legal group which advocates for Palestinians living in Israel, has said that 50 Palestinians studying at academic
institutions in Israel have been summoned to disciplinary committees due to perceived support for Hamas on social media,
with some suspended from their studies.[708] The newly created Civil Society Coalition for Emergencies in the Arab
Community says that 30 Palestinian citizens of Israel have lost their jobs for the same reason.[708] A number of construction
sites in the Jerusalem Municipality prohibited Israeli Arabs from entering, including senior managers, stating that only Jews
and foreign workers were permitted.[709] Dalal Abu Amneh, a Palestinian singer born in Israel, was arrested by Israeli
forces for posting "there is no victor but God" in Arabic, alongside an image of the Palestinian flag on social media.[710]
She was released on 18 October and placed under house arrest for five days.[711] Adalah says that 100 Israelis have been
arrested for posts supporting Palestinians in Gaza, with 70 remaining in detention as of 18 October.[712] Israeli police said
that at least 170 Palestinians (all citizens of Israel or residents of Jerusalem) have been arrested or brought in for questioning Volunteers organizing deliveries for
since the beginning of the war due to social media posts. According to Adalah, this is the highest rate of arrests in such a soldiers in Nesher
short period of time for 20 years.[708] Content that has led to these arrests includes quoting from the Quran, prayers for
peace, and political analyses of Israeli military actions. One person faced discipline from their school in Israel for posting
about a family celebration on the day of Hamas's attack, according to Adalah.[712]

Amidst the escalating violence, Magen David Adom initiated a blood donation drive and the Education Ministry closed
schools on 7 October, transitioning to online learning from 15 October.[713] Various events and performances were
cancelled or postponed including the Haifa International Film Festival, a Bruno Mars concert, and football matches
scheduled by UEFA.[714] The Israeli energy ministry ordered Chevron to temporarily shut down the offshore Tamar gas
field.[715] Following a significant drop in the value of the New Israeli Shekel, the Bank of Israel announced that it would Support sign for the "citizens of
sell up to $30 billion in foreign reserves in its first ever sale of foreign exchange.[716] south" and IDF soldiers at the
Policeperson roundabout in
Investigations were initiated into the failure of Israeli authorities to prevent the attack, with criticism targeted towards Prime Ra'anana, October 2023
Minister Netanyahu for his inability to foresee and prevent the crisis.[717][718][719]

To support the war effort, El Al announced special flights to retrieve vital personnel from New York City and Bangkok on 13 October.[720] Schools advised
parents to have certain social media apps deleted from their children's phones to shield them from violent war-related media.[721] IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant
General Herzi Halevi acknowledged military failures in preventing the attacks on 12 October.[722]

The ethics panel of the Knesset voted to suspend left-wing politician Ofer Cassif for 45 days over what it deemed as anti-Israel statements in interviews he made
after the war broke out. Following a rally in support of Gaza in Haifa, police commissioner Kobi Shabtai threatened to send antiwar protesters to the Gaza Strip.
As of 18 October 63 people have been arrested in Israel on suspicion of supporting or inciting "terror" since the start of the conflict, according to Israeli police.[723]
The Palestinian prisoners' rights group Addameer said that about 4,000 labourers from Gaza who were working in Israel were arrested by Israeli authorities along
with 1,070 other Palestinians in overnight raids in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since the start of the conflict, with most of the detainees from Gaza being held
in Sde Teyman near Beersheva.[724] Amer al-Huzail, a former mayoral candidate in Rahat, was arrested after sharing a map of the Gaza Strip on social media with
an analysis of possible scenarios for an expected ground operation by Israeli forces.[725]

A poll by the Israeli newspaper Maariv, conducted on 18–19 October, found that 65% of Israelis supported a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip and 21% opposed
it.[726]

Emergency unity government

On 11 October, an emergency unity government was formally announced between Likud and National Unity following a joint statement from the latter party, with
Benny Gantz, a former defence minister and military chief of staff, joining a war cabinet also consisting of Netanyahu as Prime Minister and Yoav Gallant as
Defence Minister. The statement said the unity government would not promote any policy or laws except those related to the ongoing fighting with Hamas.[727]
The war cabinet was approved by the Knesset on 12 October.[78] It significantly reduces the influence of Netanyahu's previous far-right coalition partners over the
conduct of the war, which was one of Gantz's demands.[728] Haaretz reported that former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eizenkot and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron
Dermer would join the war cabinet as observers.[727]

On 29 October, Netanyahu blamed security chiefs for Hamas's attack in a post on X (formerly Twitter); this was later deleted following criticism.[729]

Reactions in Gaza

Reactions in Gaza ranged from anger at the international community's tepid response to outright fear.[730][731] The territory
faced numerous major crises. The Israeli blockade caused significant difficulties, including a lack of food, medicine, and
water.[732] Azmi Keshawi, a U.S.-educated researcher in Gaza, expressed outrage, stating, "How the hell did the entire
world just watch and let Israel turn off the water?" [733] On 19 October, Omar Ghraieb, an officer at Oxfam, noted his lack
of food, water, or internet, writing, "Families are displaced, humanitarian situation is beyond dire, thousands killed &
injured, hundreds of thousands are traumatized".[734]

Gazans in Israel on work permits were unable to return to Gaza.[735][736] In interviews, workers indicated they were Man's reaction following an airstrike,
subject to intensive police questioning and abuse.[737] Speaking to The Washington Post, one man stated, "I can't stay here, Indonesian Hospital in Jabalia, 8
eating and drinking while my children are dying. There is no electricity or water or anything. Let me die there between my October
children".[737]

Due to the Israeli Air Force's intense bombardments, many Gazans expressed fears they could die at any time. In an interview, 22-year-old U.S. citizen Mai
Abushaaban, said, "People are worried, people are essentially preparing to die".[738] Muhammad Smiry, a journalist, wrote, "We are losing everyone and
everything".[739] Saeb al-Jarz, a 27-year-old engineer, said, "I just really, really want to live".[740]

Among healthcare workers in Gaza, reactions ranged from grief to outrage. One doctor at the al-Ahli Arab Hospital stated, "This is really a genocide".[482]
Hussam Abu Safiya, a pediatrics doctor at Kamal Edwan Hospital, described the situation in Gaza as "really dangerous".[741] Abu Safiya described the difficulties
of compliance with Israel's mandatory evacuation order, as transferring the children would mean "handing them a death sentence".[741] As a result of Israel's denial
of clean water, he noted babies in his ward were experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, and fever.[610] Samer Tarzi, a doctor who survived the explosion at al-Ahli
hospital, stated, "We collected bodies of children and many body parts. It's a sight that will remain in my mind even if I live a thousand years".[742]
In response to the 27 October communications blackout in Gaza, Al Jazeera journalist Hani Mahmoud reported via satellite that the "fear just begins to
mount."[743] On 28 October, Mansour Shouman, a resident in Gaza, stated the public was "extremely angry" more aid had not been allowed into Gaza, noting his
own family was drinking dirty water and suffering from malnutrition.[744]

Dual citizens

When both of Gaza's border points were closed at the start of the conflict, foreign nationals and dual citizens were trapped. This included some 500–600 U.S.
citizens, who reported the US Embassy provided little to no support to them.[745][746] Lena Beseiso, a resident of Salt Lake City, reported the embassy said their
"emergency line is for Israel".[745] Emilee Rauschenberger, a U.S. citizen visiting Gaza with her husband and five children, stated, "The double standard is
incredibly harsh".[747] Amir Kaoud, stated, "America's not helping us, Biden's not helping us, the embassy is not helping us".[747] Sammy Nabulsi, an
immigration attorney in Boston, stated, "We are barreling toward a grave national tragedy, and the White House and the State Department do not seem to
care".[748] An Australian man trapped in Gaza with his family stated, "We are terrified that we may not live until tomorrow".[749] Wafaa Abuzayda, a 30-year-old
U.S. citizen, stated, "Please. I have a one-and-a-half year old, I got him after six times of IVF … We have been trying to call the embassy since Saturday.
Nobody's helping, nobody's getting back to us. Please save us."[750]

Gazan officials

The Palestinian Education Ministry said schools in the Gaza Strip were closed until further notice.[127] On 7 October, the Palestinian Health Ministry appealed for
blood donations.[71] On 13 October, the spokesperson for Gaza's Interior Ministry said Israel had not been honest about only striking military targets, and that
"everyone in Gaza is a target".[751] Yahya al-Sarraj, the mayor of Gaza City, noted the Israeli siege was a violation of international law and urged the international
community to "support the victims".[752]

Hamas military aims

Hamas stated it abducted Israelis to secure the freedom of Palestinian prisoners, currently estimated to number between 4,499 and 5,200, including 170
children.[143][71][753] Prisoner exchanges have long been practiced in the Arab–Israeli conflict.[754] In 2006, Hamas exchanged Gilad Shalit for 1,000
Palestinifans as part of a prisoner swap.[144][755] Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri told Al Jazeera they had enough Israeli hostages to secure the release of
Palestinian prisoners in Israel.[753] Hamas spokesperson Abu Obaida said they were holding captured Israeli soldiers in "safe places" and tunnels.[71]

On 13 October, Hamas claimed its aim was to attack Israeli military bases and instructions were given to not target civilians.[756][757] Hamas official Basem Naim
denied any civilians were killed, saying that only Israeli soldiers were killed.[758] A spokesperson for Palestinian Islamic Jihad stated they did not consider Israelis
to be civilians, due to Israel's mandatory military service.[759]

Senior Hamas official Khaled Mashal said that the group was fully aware of the consequences of attack on Israel, stating that Palestinian liberation comes with
sacrifices.[760]

Reactions in the West Bank

Initially, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas asserted the Palestinians' right to self-defense against the "terror of settlers and occupation troops"[761] and
condemned the orders by Israel for residents to evacuate north Gaza, labeling it a "second Nakba".[762] Later, Abbas rejected the killing of civilians on both sides,
and said that the Palestinian Liberation Organization was the sole representative of the Palestinians.[763]

Following the attack, celebrations occurred in Ramallah. Neighborhood watches were established in 50 locations amid fears of reprisals by Israeli settlers, while a
general strike was called for 8 October.[124] Seven Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli forces on 7 October,[764] while 126 others were injured.[124]
Clashes on 8 October killed six more Palestinians.[173] As of 19 October, Al Jazeera noted that 76 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank and Jerusalem, eight
of them by armed Israeli settlers;[765] the Palestinian Ministry of Health said that 61 people have been killed and 1,250 injured in the West Bank.[766] The
Palestinian Prisoners Club said that 850 Palestinians, including lawmakers, prominent figures, journalists, and former detainees have been arrested by Israeli
authorities since the start of the war.[345]

Arab world

In contrast to previous Palestinian–Israeli wars, the initial part of the war was marked by a more muted reaction. While the populace of the region tends to be
sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians many governments in the region have strongly negative views of Hamas due to its affiliation with the Muslim
Brotherhood and its ties with Iran. This antipathy toward Hamas has had several impacts. The official reactions from many states in the Arab world, particularly
states aligned with Saudi Arabia and Egypt, have been neutral and confined to press statements. News programs in countries such as the United Arab Emirates and
Saudi Arabia do not book Hamas officials for interviews, however Arabic-speaking Jews are frequently invited. In speaking of the IDF, anchors in the UAE and
Saudi Arabia no longer refer to it as an "occupation army" but just the Israeli army.[767] This neutrality began to fade in response to the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital
explosion. Despite conflicting evidence on whether it was due to an Israeli airstrike or a Palestinian missile, many regional governments condemned
Israel.[768][769] This condemnation and subsequent diplomatic fallout had a disastrous effect on the burgeoning diplomatic relations between Israel and many Arab
states.[770]

There have been numerous rallies in support of the Palestinians, nevertheless populism and polarization have also tempered public reaction in the region. While
many Lebanese and Syrians are sympathetic to the Palestinians, Hamas's affiliation with Iran and Hezbollah, which are hated by many due to their actions in the
Syrian Civil War and the 2006 Lebanon War, makes the population less sympathetic to the current war. Many in Lebanon, Syria and Egypt also fear that they may
unwillingly be drawn in to the conflict through the actions of Hezbollah and Iran. In Egypt populist pro-government talk show hosts have railed against the Hamas
and Palestinian cause asking viewers, why Egyptians should suffer to help Palestinians.[767] Egypt, despite having being pressed by the United States, refused to
accept refugees from Gaza both for fear of security issues since Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups shares ties with militants in the Sinai, as well as for
fear that a temporary refugee situation may turn permanent.[771]

Iran
Iran has praised the attack while being cautious to distance itself from the planning and execution of it.[772] Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad told the BBC that
Hamas had direct backing for the attack from Iran;[773][774] European, Iranian and Syrian officers corroborated Iran's involvement,[775][776] while senior Hamas
official Mahmoud Mirdawi said the group planned the attacks on its own.[255] The Israeli army and the United States say that there is no evidence that Iran is
connected with the attack by Hamas.[777] American intelligence appeared to show that Hamas's attack on Israel caught Iranian authorities by surprise.[778]

According to a report by Al-Monitor, since the start of the war between Israel and the Gaza militias, Iran has tried to show a face of disinterest in the spillover of
the conflict, and on the other hand, it has pursued an active diplomatic campaign to isolate Israel. Supporting the cause of Palestine has been one of the ideological
principles of Iran's Shia Islamic theocracy after the 1979 revolution,[779] with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the first supreme leader of Iran, announcing the last
Friday of every Ramadan as "Quds Day"[780] and inviting all the Muslims of the world to express solidarity with the legitimate rights of the Palestinian Muslim
people.[781]

The Iranian government opened an account for people to deliver charitable aid.[782] It also opened a website and reported that more than six million volunteered to
fight.[783] Khamenei threatened that Islamic resistance is going to become unstoppable should the war continue.[784] His spokesperson later said that the 2015 Iran
nuclear deal would have delayed it but Israel would have collapsed within five years.[785] Khamenei pointed to foreign visits to Israel and said fall of Israel is
imminent.[786]

IRGC Command lauded that IDF would be depleted through the ground invasion.[787]

In the second UN assembly, Iranian foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian warned Americans they would be unsafe if the conflict did not remain under
control.[788] US military forces conducted strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).[789] Biden warned
Khamenei not to attack the US military.[790]

United States

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the deployment of the United States Navy's Carrier Strike Group 12—led by
the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, and supported by the cruiser USS Normandy and the destroyers USS Thomas
Hudner, USS Ramage, USS Carney, and USS Roosevelt—to the Eastern Mediterranean. The United States Air Force
augmented its F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10 fighter squadrons in the region,[791][792] reportedly to deter other actors from
entering the conflict.[793]
US President Joe Biden delivers
On 15 October, it was reported that a US naval strike group composed of the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower,

On 17 October, it was reported that a US naval group consisting of the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan, the
amphibious transport dock USS Mesa Verde, and the dock landing ship USS Carter Hall, was deployed to the eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea to transport
the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit in case they were needed in the area.[795]

On 19 October, the United States Department of Defense announced that the USS Carney had shot down three cruise missiles and eight drones that were
northbound over the Red Sea. They said the missiles had been fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen and may have been en route to Israeli targets.[796][797]

After multiple drone and rocket attacks on military bases in Iraq that house US troops, the US ordered all non-emergency staff to leave their embassy in Baghdad
and consulate in Erbil on 22 October.[798] A few days earlier, a false alarm in Al-Asad Airbase caused the death of a civilian contractor from cardiac arrest.[799]
Secretary of State issued a threat to Iranians that their attacks would not be tolerated.[800]

U.S. officials said the Biden administration advised Israel to delay the ground invasion of the Gaza Strip to allow more time for hostage negotiations.[801] President
Joe Biden said that Hamas' attacks on Israel were intended in part to scuttle the potential normalization of the U.S. ally's relations with Saudi Arabia. He mentioned
that Hamas attacks aimed to halt Israel-Saudi Arabia agreement.[802]

United Nations

On 25 October, United Nations' General-Secretary António Guterres called for a ceasefire, during a speech in which he stated that the attacks by Hamas "did not
happen in a vacuum" and needed to be understood in the context of 56 years of Israel's "suffocating occupation" of Palestinians, further stating that "the grievances
of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks by Hamas. And those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian
people."[803][804] Israel responded by saying it would ban UN representatives from Israel to "teach them a lesson", and called for the General-Secretary's
resignation.[805][806]

On 27 October, the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution ES-10/21 calling for an immediate and sustained humanitarian truce and cessation of
hostilities, adopted by a vote of 121 states to 14, with 44 abstentions.[807]

International

International leaders, including from Argentina,[808] India,[809][810] the United States, and European countries condemned
the attacks by Hamas, expressed solidarity with Israel, and said Israel has a right to defend itself from armed attacks and
describing Hamas's tactics as terrorism.[811][197] Most Latin American governments condemned Hamas's attacks in Israel,
while some expressed solidarity with Palestinians such as Colombia.[812] In a White House briefing, President Joe Biden
expressed solidarity with Israel.[813][814] The European Union announced it would review aid to Palestinian authorities to
ensure the aid was not funding terrorism, and subsequently announced that immediate humanitarian aid to Gaza would be
tripled.[815][816] Austria, Germany, and Sweden suspended development aid to Palestine in response to Hamas's attack and
said that they would review other projects and aid given.[817][818][819] The World Uyghur Congress released a statement Solidarity with Israelis in Munich
condemning "horrific attacks by Hamas against Israeli civilians".[820] Croatia's president Zoran Milanovic publicly stated
that Israel had lost his sympathy due to its humanitarian crimes and "reprisal actions" in Gaza.[821] Colombian president
Gustavo Petro likened IDF attacks against Palestinians to Nazis and asked the Israeli ambassador to "apologize and leave the country"[822][823] Spain's deputy
prime minister Yolanda Díaz called on the international community to put pressure on Israel to stop what she called a massacre in Gaza.[824]
Responses from African governments varied, showing division about the source of the conflict and who is to blame.
However, most expressed grief and deep concerns about the outbreak of violence, with condemnations of attacks against
civilians and calls for restraint and de-escalation to prevent further loss of Israeli and Palestinian lives.[825]

As many as 20,000 Thai workers (around half of Israel's migrant work force) live all over Israel, including areas close to
Gaza.[826] Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said their stance towards "the deadly Hamas-led attack against Israel is
one of neutrality, and the Kingdom promotes a solution that would allow Palestine and Israel to coexist".[827]

Queen Rania of Jordan said leaders of Western countries had double standards and were "complicit" in civilian suffering in Solidarity with Palestinians in
Gaza: "Are we being told that it is wrong to kill a family, an entire family, at gunpoint, but it's OK to shell them to death? I Melbourne, Australia
mean, there is a glaring double standard here. It is just shocking to the Arab world."[828]

Evacuations of foreign nationals

Brazil announced a rescue operation of nationals using an air force transport aircraft.[829] Poland announced that it would deploy two C-130 transport planes to
evacuate 200 of its nationals from Ben-Gurion airport.[830] Hungary evacuated 215 of its nationals from Israel using two aircraft on 9 October, while Romania
evacuated 245 of its citizens, including two pilgrimage groups, on two TAROM planes and two private aircraft on the same day.[831] Australia also announced
repatriation flights.[832] 300 Nigerian pilgrims in Israel fled to Jordan before being airlifted home.[833]

On 12 October, the United Kingdom arranged flights for its citizens in Israel; the first plane departed Ben Gurion Airport
that day. The government had said before that it would not be evacuating its nationals due to available commercial flights.
However, the flights were commercial.[834] Nepal arranged a flight to evacuate at least 254 of its citizens who were
studying in Israel.[835][836] India launched Operation Ajay to evacuate its citizens from Israel.[837] Ukraine has facilitated
the evacuation of around 450 of its citizens from Israel as of 18 October, with additional evacuation flights in the planning
for the near future.[838]

Visits by foreign leaders U.S. Secretary of State Antony

Blinken and Israeli President Isaac
On 17 October, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Israel to express solidarity with the country. On his departure from
Herzog in Tel Aviv, Israel, 12
Ben-Gurion airport, he was evacuated to a shelter after a rocket alarm went off.[839] October 2023

On 18 October, US President Joe Biden arrived in Israel and was received at Ben-Gurion airport by Israeli President Isaac
Herzog and Prime Minister Netanyahu. At a news conference, he said Israel did not commit the al-Ahli hospital bombing
in Gaza and blamed what he called "the other team" for the attack.[840] In the wake of the attack, a summit in Amman hosted by King Abdullah II that was also to
be attended by Biden, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sisi was cancelled by the Jordanian government.[841]

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrived in Israel on 19 October, in order to meet Netanyahu and offer his condolences for the civilians killed in the initial
attacks.[842] Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni arrived in Israel on 21 October.[843]

On 24 October, French President Emmanuel Macron visited Israel to express solidarity with the country. He said that the anti-ISIL coalition should also fight
against Hamas.[844]

Media coverage

Disinformation
Disinformation has been wide-ranging, with the dissemination of false, misleading or unsubstantiated information on both sides in the conflict. Much of the content
has been viral in nature, with tens of millions of posts in circulation on social media. Some misinformation has also been widely distributed in mainstream media
and repeated by heads of state.

Reports of sexual violence, decapitation, and torture

Unconfirmed or disputed reports

Unverified information has been quickly published and spread during the conflict, through social media, politicians, and mainstream news outlets. While some
stories have had follow-up information that clarifies or adds context to the original posted story, it has taken time due to the widespread conflict and lack of
returning audience to read or hear the additional information.[198]

Decapitations

In the aftermath of the initial Hamas assault, witnesses from the IDF and the first responder organisation ZAKA reported seeing bodies of beheaded infants at the
site of the Kfar Aza massacre.[845][846][847] During Antony Blinken's visit to Israel, he was shown photos of the massacre by Hamas of Israeli civilians and
soldiers; among other things Blinken confirmed that he saw beheaded IDF soldiers.[848] US President Joe Biden separately said that he had seen photographic
evidence of terrorists beheading children, The White House subsequently clarified that Biden was alluding to news reports on beheadings, which have not
contained or referred to photographic evidence.[198] NBC News stated that the claim was likely erroneous, and based on the conflation of two separate statements
made by IDF soldiers.[849] As of 12 October, CNN extensively reviewed online media content to verify Hamas-related atrocities but found no evidence to support
claims of decapitated children.[850]
A ZAKA volunteer reported on 14 October seeing bodies of children with severe injuries and burns. Some of the deceased children appeared to have been
decapitated, although the exact circumstances were not clear.[851] Chen Kugel, the head of the Israeli National Center of Forensic Medicine, said "We also have
bodies coming in without heads, but we can't definitely say it was from beheadings. Heads can also be blown off due to explosive devices, missiles, and the
like".[852] On 24 October, Israeli authorities screened bodycam footage of Hamas atrocities for journalists, including "an attempt to decapitate someone who
appeared to be still alive using a garden hoe",[853] as well as a still image of a decapitated IDF soldier.[854]

Sexual violence

Rape and sexual violence against Israeli women were reported, notably during the Re'im music festival massacre.[855] Reports in El Pais,[856] Vice,[857] PBS
NewsHour,[858] The Economist,[859] India Today,[860] the Hindustan Times,[861] Tablet,[862] Ynet,[863] and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency were sourced to
named and anonymous eye-witnesses present in Israel.[863]

An 8 October report by The Times of Israel referenced videos it said "have raised concerns of sexual assault against women".[864][863][865] However, as of 11
October, Yuval Shany wrote it was too soon to know whether there had been a pattern of sexual assault, as there had not yet been time to formally take testimonies
from victims and witnesses.[863] These reports of sexual violence were repeated by Israeli officials, US President Biden,[866] UK security minister Tom
Tugendhat,[867] and several journalists or media outlets (e.g. Henrique Cymerman,[868] Jake Tapper,[869] Peter Hartcher,[870] and ABC News).[871]

On 11 October, Jewish-American news media organization The Forward said, "Biden, Netanyahu, celebrities and columnists have rushed to condemn rape. But
the IDF does not yet have any evidence it happened".[863] As of 13 October, FactCheck.org concluded "there are no publicly confirmed examples of sexual
assault".[865] An Arab Israeli council member in the city of Lod told The New York Times that local Arab youth had seen "images of slaughter, kidnap and rape",
which weakened their initial support for Hamas.[872]

On 14 October, Israel's military forensic teams attested that there were indications of torture and multiple rapes among the deceased.[873] The Hostage and Missing
Families Forum, a group representing the families of hostages taken by Hamas, told the International Committee of the Red Cross that some of the hostages had
been victims of rape.[874]

On 24 October, Israeli authorities screened footage of atrocities committed during Hamas's incursion to a small group of foreign journalists. In one clip a partially
burnt female corpse was seen, with her dress pulled up to around her waist and underwear missing. An Israeli official said that authorities had evidence of
rape.[875]

Immolation

On 20 October, the remains of victims from the Hamas attack and the analysis of the bodies by a team of Israeli and international forensic experts were displayed at
Israel's Forensic Pathology Center for the media. These included charred hands with marks indicating the victims' hands were bound behind their backs with metal
wire before being burned alive. A large charred mass that when observed by CT scan show the remains of a parent and child who were bound together before
being burned alive. Many of the victims had soot in their trachea, indicating that they were executed through immolation.[876]

Regional and global effects

The outbreak of war led to an increased dislike of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the government from
Israeli citizens due to a perceived failure of leadership on the issue,[877] with increased calls for Netanyahu's
resignation.[878]

Global attention on Hamas had implications for countries like Turkey and Qatar, which have strong ties with Hamas, and
the United States was actively working with Qatar to secure the release of hostages.[879]

Hamas's actions had a significant impact on diplomatic efforts, potentially derailing a US-brokered deal between Israel and
Saudi Arabia. The New York Times noted that the prospects of Israeli and Saudi normalization seemed less likely due to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin
concerns about the situation's escalation and Palestinian rights. Additionally, there were speculations that Iran might have Salman with U.S. Secretary of State
been trying to disrupt relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.[880] On 14 October, Saudi Arabia suspended talks on the Antony Blinken in Jeddah, Saudi
possible normalization of relations with Israel.[881] Arabia, 7 June 2023

Various leaders and experts speculated about the potential for the conflict to expand, and even lead to a war between Israel
and Iran, with Iranian officials expressing a willingness to intervene if Israel continues military operations or launches a ground invasion against Gaza, further
indicating the possibility of region-wide escalation of the conflict.[882]

Ukraine expressed concerns that Russia might exploit the Israel–Hamas conflict to diminish international support for Ukraine, while Russia portrayed it as a
Western policy failure. Russian president Vladimir Putin characterized the conflict as an example of the failure of United States policy in the Middle East and
suggested it would affect Western support for Ukraine, potentially impacting Russia's relations with Israel.[883]

The United States launched new sanctions to try and cut off Iranian network funding Hamas.[884]
