Situation in Israel
On October 7, Hamas militants attacked Israel. During the attack, the terrorists killed and abducted soldiers and civilians. In particular, the country was regularly shelled with rockets from the Gaza Strip.
Israel, for its part, launched an operation against the terrorists.
Already yesterday, October 27, IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari announced the start of offensive activity in the Gaza Strip. After that, the Israeli Armed Forces began striking the territory. Later, it turned out that Israel decided to attack the Gaza Strip because Hamas refused to release all hostages.
