War in Israel
In early October, Hamas militants launched a large-scale invasion into Israel. They killed and abducted both military and civilian residents. In response, Israel declared a military operation against the militants called Operation Iron Swords.
As part of this operation, the IDF expanded its ground operation in the Gaza Strip. Troops and equipment were deployed to the region.
According to media reports, this occurred after negotiations between Israel and Hamas regarding the release had failed.
