The Gaza war started on October 7, 2023, between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups in Gaza. This is Israel's 15th war in Gaza, and it has caused a major crisis in the Middle East. On the first day of the war, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing 1,195 people, including 815 civilians, and taking 251 hostages. Israel responded with a massive bombing campaign and invaded Gaza to destroy Hamas and rescue the hostages.
The war has been devastating for Palestinians, with over 48,000 killed and more than 100,000 injured. Many homes, hospitals, schools, and other important buildings have been destroyed, leaving nearly all of Gaza's 2.3 million people without homes. There have been reports of war crimes and genocide committed by both Israel and Hamas. The International Court of Justice is investigating these claims.
The war has also affected other countries in the region, with protests and clashes between different groups. Many people around the world are calling for a ceasefire to stop the fighting.
