@10newsau: After the attacks on October 7, 2023 Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country was at war, as the scale of devastation became clear. The ‘Iron Dome’ defensive system was overwhelmed by Hamas missiles, hostages were taken, and civilians were killed in the streets. Israel responded by sending missiles into the Gaza strip, with a ground invasion following. It marked the start of a campaign that has since killed over 41,500 people in Gaza, mostly women and children. More via the link in our bio. #october7 #anniversary #israel #palestine #gaza
