- Hamas militants attacked Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, announcing the start of the "Al-Aqsa Flood "operation. They launched rocket attacks and broke into the border areas in the south of Israel, killing civilians, soldiers and taking hostages. At least 560 people were executed or shot.
- The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching massive strikes on the Gaza Strip, launching Operation "Iron Swords". On October 8, Israel officially declared war and effectively declared that it would destroy both Hamas and the Gaza Strip.
