Crisis in the Middle East: Israel Fights an All-Out War Against Hamas in Gaza
Written by Sanjay Kumar
In a devastating and escalating conflict, Israel and Palestinian groups In Gaza have been locked in a violent battle for the past three days, resulting in the tragic loss of over 1,100 lives, including children. Here are the top 10 points in this unfolding tragedy:
- Bloodiest Escalation in Decades: The Israel-Palestine conflict has reached its deadliest point in decades, as Hamas launched a massive rocket barrage and ground, air, and sea offensive, met with Israel’s retaliatory airstrikes across the Gaza border. The death toll in Israel stands at over 700, while Gaza has suffered a loss of more than 400 lives, with thousands more injured. Dozens of Israeli soldiers and civilians are currently held hostage by Hamas.
- Israel’s “9/11” Moment: Israel Defense Forces (IDF) described the Hamas attack as their “9/11” or “Pearl Harbor” moment and the “worst massacre of innocent citizens in Israel’s history.” The Israeli government has vowed to “change the face of reality” in Gaza in response.
- Comparisons to Brutality: The IDF has drawn a stark comparison, claiming that Hamas’ actions have been “more barbaric and more brutal than ISIS,” accusing Hamas of murdering hundreds of Israelis, including men, women, and children, and taking dozens hostage into Gaza. They are determined to respond forcefully.
- US Support: The United States expressed deep concern and confirmed the death of several Americans in the surprise land-sea-air attack on Israel. In response, the US has ordered the deployment of warships and fighter jet squadrons to Israel, demonstrating unwavering support for its ally in the face of escalating attacks by Hamas.
- Hezbollah’s Involvement: Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah announced that it fired “large numbers of artillery shells and guided missiles” at Israeli positions in a contested border area. They declared their actions were “in solidarity” with Hamas’ attack.
- Netanyahu’s Vow: Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to avenge what he described as a “black day” for Israel. He affirmed that the IDF would use all its force to destroy Hamas’s capabilities, vowing to strike them relentlessly.
- Evacuation Warning: Prime Minister Netanyahu also issued a warning to Palestinians living near Hamas sites in Gaza, urging them to evacuate, as Israel prepares to target these hideouts and turn them into “rubble.”
- Decades of Conflict: Israel and Palestinian groups have engaged in numerous wars since Hamas seized power in Gaza in 2007. The recent violence erupted shortly after Hamas called for an end to the occupation, citing ongoing Israeli actions across Palestinian territory, particularly at the holy site of Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem.
The situation in the region remains extremely volatile, with no immediate resolution in sight as both sides continue to exchange fire and casualties mount. The international community is closely monitoring developments and urging a return to peace negotiations.
