A massive assault by Palestinian resistance fighters infiltrating Israeli military bases around the outer edges of the besieged Gaza Strip led to the killing of between 30 and 70 Israelis (different sources have reported different numbers), mainly soldiers. The subsequent bombing of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli airforce and military has led to 198 Palestinians being killed.

The Palestinian resistance movement’s attack comes in the midst of ongoing attacks on Palestinian civilians, their property and desecration of Muslim and Christian holy sites. During the first eight months of 2023, Israeli paramilitary settler attacks on indigenous Palestinians came at the rate of 3 per day, according to the United Nations.
