Bombs, Hostages & Murders: How Hamas attacked Israel

On Saturday October 7, Hamas launched a major attack on Israeli territory, marking one of the most brutal attacks in history. The Supernova music festival became one of the initial targets for Palestinian gunmen, where thousands of people witnessed a massacre. Disturbing videos circulated on social media shows the assailants descending upon the event through paragliders, while others arrived by road, causing terrified partygoers to run for their lives. Hamas fighters claimed the lives of 260 individuals and seized a number of hostages whom they transported back to Gaza. The event took place in a dusty field located just outside the Re'im kibbutz, approximately 5.3 kilometers from the barrier separating Gaza and southern Israel. In response to attacks from Hamas, Israel imposed a "complete siege" on Gaza and pledged to retaliate with a level of force "unprecedented" in its history. Israel implemented a complete blockade, leaving the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza without essential necessities, including food, electricity, medicine, water, and gas.
