[+18] Black Sabbath War / October crisis between Israel and Gaza / HAMAS terror attack

On October 7, the Hamas group carried out a terrorist attack on Israeli territory. Having broken through the border, Hamas released unorganized crowds of Palestinians into Israeli territory, who immediately began to kill, rape and take civilians hostage. The civilian population of several border kibbutzim (settlements), including women, children and the elderly, was completely destroyed. At the same time, Hamas fired over a thousand rockets into Israeli territory (from October 7 to October 29, over 5 thousand). In total, about thousand people died in Israel, 3 thousand were injured, about 250 (military and civilian) were taken hostage and taken to Gaza. In response, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) launched massive strikes on Hamas targets and Gaza infrastructure, often leveling entire neighborhoods. As of October 29, about 5-7.3 thousand people were killed, 14-18 thousand were injured, over 200 thousand fled their homes. On October 27, the IDF actually launched a ground operation in Gaza, the goal of which is the complete destruction of Hamas, so the number of casualties on both sides could increase significantly.
