Attack & counterattack

Operation Al Aqsa Flood

On 7 October 2023, Palestinian terror groups from Gaza launched an offensive on Israel called Operation Al Aqsa Flood (amaliyyat ṭūfān al-ʾAqṣā).[72][73][74][75][76]

Hamas claimed their offensive was a response to the continued Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, the blockade of the Gaza Strip, the expansion of unauthorized Israeli settlements, and the increase in Israeli settler violence.[77][78]

Palestinian militants launched 4,200 missiles into Israeli population centers during the morning of 7 October.[79] Additionally, 3,800 militants entered by land, air, and sea.[79] Nearly 1,200 Israelis and foreigners were killed,[80] and about 245 were taken as hostages.[81]

Iron Swords

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) responded with an operation called Iron Swords (Mivtsá charavót barzél)[82]. It eliminated 23 out of Hamas's 24 battalions.[83] It also has caused the death of over 40,000 Palestinians, including militants.[84][85]

Names

Some news agencies and commentators have called the ongoing conflict the Third Intifada. (The First and Second Intifadas were rebellions against Israeli rule).[86]

  • Israeli soldiers are in the Gaza Strip (as of 28 October), and they seem to be concentrating[153] their efforts "on the northern area of the Gaza Strip, in Beit Hanoun, and pushing down a bit further south from there", according to a report (from the Israeli city Sderot) by BBC International editor, Jerusalem; Furthermore, the soldiers are part of a big raid or ground offensive. (Some other media, call it an invasion.) Furthermore, Israeli forces are likely trying "to clear out tunnels, probably with special forces spotting targets for [...] air force attacks".[153] (Hundreds of kilometers of tunnels, are under Gaza; Militants are known to use those tunnels)
  • By 29 October, the Israeli soldiers had gone into the Gaza Strip, for the third day in a row.[154]

War crimes

A UN Commission to the Israel-Palestine conflict said (10 October) that there is "clear evidence that war crimes may have been [done] in the latest [...] violence in Israel and Gaza".[168][169] B'Tselem, a human rights organization from Israel, said that Hamas' killing of civilians and taking of hostages, are war crimes.[170] It accused the Israeli government of (doing or) committing war crimes against the people of Gaza, including the bombing of civilians, the use of white phosphorous bomb, the closing of border crossings, and the cutting of power and water supplies. (Water mains, or large pipes that tap water usually can run through, were stopped from having that water go from Israel to Gaza. Regarding giving electrical power to the electrical grid: fuel to make electrical power at Gaza's power station has been stopped from going from Israel to Gaza.)

Human Rights Watch (also) gave examples of acts that Hamas and Israel have done, which HRW points out as war crimes.[171] On 29 December 2023, South Africa accused Israel of risking a Genocide in Gaza and filed a lawsuit against Israel at the International Court of Justice.[172]

Famine

On 27 March 2024, the government of Ireland announced that it will join the lawsuit of South Africa v. Israel and stated that "restricting food and other essentials in Gaza may constitute genocidal intent".[173]

On 28 March, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) stated "that Palestinians in Gaza are no longer facing only a risk of famine ... but that famine is setting in," and ordered Israel to unblock food aid.[174] All 16 judges backed the order that Israel must ensure without delay unhindered supply on a large scale:

"The State of Israel shall ... Take all necessary and effective measures to ensure, without delay, in full co-operation with the United Nations, the unhindered provision at scale by all concerned of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance, including food, water, electricity, fuel, shelter, clothing, hygiene and sanitation requirements, as well as medical supplies and medical care to Palestinians throughout Gaza, including by increasing the capacity and number of land crossing points and maintaining them open for as long as necessary;"[175][176]

Attacks on aid deliveries and aid workers

On 1 April 2024, seven aid workers of from the World Central Kitchen were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.[177] As per the Humanitarian Coordinator for Palestine, Jamie McGoldrick, the attack on WCK was not an "isolated incident", the recorderd number of killed aid workers in the last six months in Gaza was nearly three times as high as in any other single conflict in a year. Due to this continuing threat the aid groups had to stop their work.[178]

Israel has also supported Yasser Abu Shabab, the leader of the Popular Forces who loot aid convoys and are responsible for the Kerem Shalom aid convoy looting,[179][180][181][182][183][184][185] critics have nicknamed Abu Shabaab the "Pablo Escobar of Gaza".[186][187]

Electrical power

Israel Electric Corporation (owned by the Israeli government) stopped giving electrical power to the electrical grid of the Gaza Strip. Israeli authorities also stopped the Gaza Strip from getting fuel. The Gaza Strip's only power station ran out of fuel.[188]

International response

Some countries, mostly the western world, have given criticism against the attacks in Israel. While countries, which includes Russia, China and Venezuela and most of the Arab world and Islamic world, have given criticism against the attacks on Gaza. The foreign ministry of Jordan said that, "If the war continued, it may get a popular impression that it's a war between western and arab islamic world."[189]

On 18 October 2023, a resolution about a "humanitarian pause" to deliver lifesaving aid to millions in Gaza, was not approved by the United Nations Security Council; The proposed resolution came from Brazil's authorities, and the United States vetoed it.[190]

On 13 November 2023, United Nations observed a moment of silence with half-staff to mourn and honour 101 staff of UNRWA, that were killed in Gaza.[191]

Nine people who worked at the UNRWA lost their jobs because they may have been involved in the attacks on October 7, 2023.[192]

United States

United States authorities have sent two aircraft carriers with its combat airplanes and escorting warships, to the area to support Israel.[193][194][195] On 5 November, an ohio-class nuclear submarine started (its stay or) a deployment in the Middle East, according to United States authorities.[195]

US authorities think that there is a chance that the conflict could spread to other countries in the region.[196] U.S. authorities are against the taking of U.S. citizens as hostages by Hamas.[196] U.S. officials think that there is a chance that Iran-backed forces in Syria and Lebanon may open additional fronts against Israel.[196] US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a phone call (8 October) and Biden said he has "deep sympathy" for the killed, missing, and wounded in Israel and (promised or) pledged his "full support" to Israel.[197]

The USA has also sent munitions to Israel.[198]

On 25 March 2024, the U.S. government finally let a United Nations Security Council resolution pass that called for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.[199]

On 29 March, the Washington Post reported that the U.S. government approved the transfer of "billions of dollars worth of bombs and fighter jets", including "more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs".[200][201]

After the airstrike on the aid workers from World Central Kitchen, Biden called the prime minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu on 4 April 2024, and "made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers."[202] On 5 April 2024, 40 members of Congress from the Democratic party (including Nancy Pelosi) urged Joe Biden in an open letter to stop the arms shipments:

"we strongly urge you to reconsider your recent decision to authorize the transfer of a new arms package to Israel, and to withhold this and any future offensive arms transfers until a full investigation into the airstrike is completed."[203]

Response or Reactions

Response to the Israeli attacks against Gaza

The leaders of some countries have tried to find words to give criticism to parts of Israel's attack (or retaliation) against Gaza.

The Foreign ministry of United Arab Emirates (UAE) called for an immediate ceasefire.[204]

Norway's prime minister said that Israel has a right to defend itself; He added that "we must give emphasis[205] [or say that it is important] that the Israelis show consideration towards civilians" [in Gaza].

Malaysian Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim called for a ceasefire and for Palestinians to be "treated as human beings".[206] On 20 December 2023, Malaysian PM announced a block on Israeli-linked ships with immediate effect. Ships that are on their way to israel will also be not allowed to stop at any Malaysian ports.[207]

Algerian President, Abdelmadjid Tebboune called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to take action to hold Israel responsible for crimes that it is committing against Palestinians.[208]

During the start this war, The French embassy in Israel condemned the attacks and described Hamas' actions as "inadmissible terrorist attacks". While on 10 November, French President, Emmanuel Macron called for a ceasefire and urged Israel to stop bombing Gaza and killing civilians.[209]

On 16 April 2024, UNICEF Communication specialist Tess Ingram stated that "In every 10 minutes, a child is getting killed or injured in Gaza Strip and the only way to stop it is by ceasefire."[210]

Response (non-military) in Israel

Haaretz, a newspaper, printed an editorial which said that the attack was the "clear responsibility of one person: Benjamin Netanyahu". The newspaper said that the prime minister [did not see and tell about the dangers that he was leading Israel into, or he] has "completely failed to identify the dangers he was consciously leading Israel into when establishing a government of annexation and dispossession" (or taking away someone's possessions).[211]

Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

A study of traumatic injury deaths in Gaza in The Lancet using multiple data sources and capture-recapture analysis suggested that the MoH's methods, far from producing an exaggerated number, actually under-estimated the death toll by around 41 percent. ... When considering the total 'excess mortality,' we need to add the Palestinians who have died because of the blockade in combination with the IDF's destruction of health and sanitation and food infrastructure. As public health experts noted, in many wars, 'most deaths' are 'due to the indirect [sic] impacts of war: malnutrition, communicable disease, exacerbations of noncommunicable disease, [and] maternal and infant disorders.'117 'Indirect' would be the wrong word for this conflict given the nature of Israeli policies, including the systematic obstruction of supplies into Gaza.
