On the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, taking the world by surprise. In the early hours of October 7, Hamas fighters breached the fence in Gaza and entered Israeli territory, capturing 54 Israeli citizens, including soldiers. This attack was more intense than previous ones, resulting in over 100 Israeli casualties and more than 1600 injuries. Hamas claimed to have fired over 500 rockets at Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared a state of war and vowed to win. Israel responded by targeting buildings in Gaza, resulting in nearly 200 Palestinian casualties and over 2000 injuries.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine has become increasingly complex over time, and a solution remains elusive. While Palestinian fighters react emotionally, military victories are unlikely, and the cycle of violence is likely to continue.
In this international landscape, sympathy for Palestinian fighters is limited, and major powers like the US, UK, and France have declared Hamas’s attack as terrorism, authorizing Israel to act in self-defense. Muslim countries have largely remained passive, with some Gulf countries even considering recognition of Israel.
Hamas’s unexpected attack has disrupted plans by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries to recognize Israel, which may have been a factor in the timing of the attack. Ultimately, this new war may limit Palestinian freedoms and bring Israel closer to realizing its dream of building the Temple of Solomon, a project with significant religious implications and potential global consequences.
