Death toll from Hamas attack on Israel exceeds 1,000

More than 1 thousand people died during the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) attack on Israel. This was announced on Tuesday, October 10, by the embassy of this country in the United States. The diplomatic department added that more than 3.4 thousand Israelis have so far suffered from the actions of Hamas.

Let us recall that on the morning of October 7, Israel was subjected to a large-scale rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. According to the country’s Defense Army (IDF), more than 3 thousand missiles were launched into the territory of the Jewish state. In addition, fighters of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), after massive rocket attacks, penetrated into the border areas in southern Israel. Officials previously said at least 900 Israelis were killed, including 260 participants in a youth music festival that took place over the weekend near the border. Civilians and soldiers were taken hostage. Numerous cases of violence against Israeli women have been recorded. In response to the invasion, the Israeli government declared a state of emergency and introduced military action for the first time since 1973.

The armed wing of Hamas has announced Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against Israel. In response, the IDF launched Operation Iron Swords, which aims to destroy the Palestinian movement in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an address to the nation that the state is in a state of war. He announced the start of mobilization. As before reported “MK”, 300 thousand reservists were drafted into the Israeli army in 48 hours. The IDF began clearing populated areas in the Gaza Strip and bombed strategic and residential buildings in the Palestinian region. The Israeli army said it had killed more than 400 terrorists. The Palestinian Health Ministry said at least 400 Palestinians were killed in gunfire and airstrikes, including civilians, including 78 children and 41 women.
