Last Saturday at 6:30, a barrage of rockets from Gaza targeted Israel. Despite Israel's formidable security systems, thousands of rockets caught them off guard. The rudimentary rocket reached 6 miles, while the high-tech ones reached up to 45 miles from Gaza. After laying the groundwork, Hamas executed infiltration into Israel. Some gunmen were filmed firing at civilians and taking people hostage. Hamas claimed this action was partly in defense of the holy compound, Al-Aqsa Mosque, citing its desecration and siege as reasons. This revered and sacred sanctuary has been a flashpoint between Palestinians and Israelis for decades. This year alone, Israeli forces have killed several Palestinian militants and even civilians, with hundreds of Israelis also losing their lives and thousands sustaining injuries.
In response to the surprise attack from Hamas, Israel quickly retaliated, hitting high-rise buildings in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Prime Minister has been unwavering over the war with Hamas.
