Situation in Israel
On October 7, terrorists from Hamas launched a large-scale invasion of Israeli territory, committing mass murders of citizens. Soon, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) regained control of the territories and cities occupied by terrorists. Currently, the IDF is conducting an operation to destroy the main centers of terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
On October 10, it became known that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken would visit Israel. However, the exact date of the trip was not specified. According to media reports, the Israeli authorities have already requested the United States air defense systems and aviation missiles.
