On the morning of October 7 around 6:30AM, while the majority of Israelis were sound asleep in their homes, the air raid sirens abruptly started to wail.

In a short amount of time, thousands of missiles were launched towards Israeli cities. According to the Israeli defense forces, 2200 missiles were launched. The organization Hamas, however, asserts that 5000 rockets were launched.

Israel has an iron dome defense system. One of the greatest air defence systems in existence. When rockets are shot towards Israel, the government deploys cutting-edge military technology to intercept the rockets and destroy them in midair to safeguard the nation.

However, 5000 missiles were fired here in only 20 minutes, negating Israel's Iron Dome defense. Israeli assaults resulted in the deaths and injuries of thousands of civilians. The Israel-Palestine conflict has experienced several surprise strikes over the last two decades, but this one is the largest.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood is the name given to this offensive by Hamas military leader Mohammad Al-Deif, who also claimed that Hamas is carrying it out in retaliation for Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.

Hamas has begun a multi-pronged onslaught from the land, sea, and air in addition to the missile attacks. A bulldozer tore through the border wall separating Israel and Gaza. There were a lot of Palestinians observed entering Israeli land. In addition, Hamas used speedboats to assault Israel from the water.

In a single day, a lot of things happened. An Israeli tank was captured. Many Israeli soldiers was captured and held hostages by the Hamas group. And the Israeli villages and cities on the border were infiltered by armed terrorist of Hamas. Many harmless civilians had been killed here, many are being held as hostages and Israel has declared a country of War in response.

Now comes the question “How the renowned Israeli intelligence organization, Mossad, missed this strike is a hot topic in this fight.” Mossad is supposedly one of the most remarkable intelligence agencies. They have informants even withinside the Palestinian army groups. How could Mossad, despite being such a strong organization, not know that Gaza was amassing hundreds of rockets? There are cameras and ground motion sensors installed in the border wall between Israel and Gaza, and frequent army patrols are conducted there. Why did these intelligent walls fail?

The Israeli administration is receiving a lot of criticism on the home front. The locations of the IDF, police, and security is a matter of concern for the whole nation. Israel had received numerous warnings from Egypt's intelligence agencies that a significant event was going to occur. And supposedly no one heeded the warnings.

Now, Israel launched its own attack in response, which was named Operation Iron Swords. Israeli defense force has deployed their Navy, Airforce and Ground forces. Along with that, they have launched drone strikes in Gaza, in which thousands of Palestinians were killed or injured. Israel's energy minister signed an order to cut the electric supply in Gaza. Israel provided Gaza with energy to a considerable extent.

"Israeli citizens, we are at war," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared during a speech on television. The enemies would have to pay an unparalleled price, he claimed. The defense minister claimed that Israel will prevail in this conflict and that Hamas has made a serious error.

Israel is also attempting to demonstrate that its counteroffensive is being conducted properly. A 14-story skyscraper in Palestine was recently the target of an attack. Israel has ensured that Palestine will pay for what they have done to their nation.

We wish that these two nations might live in peace for a very long time. But given the existing circumstances, it appears that this battle will go on for a while.
