- In the early hours of October 7, 2023, the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas launched a deadly offensive against Israel that would provoke a destructive response from Tel Aviv in the Gaza Strip, before setting the rest of the Middle East on fire.
- The attack by Hamas commandos from the Gaza Strip led to the deaths of 1,205 people on the Israeli side, most of them civilians, according to a count by Agence France-Presse. Israeli military reprisals have left more than 41,000 dead in the small Palestinian territory, most of them civilians, according to data from the Ministry of Health of the Hamas government for Gaza, considered reliable by the UN.
- The conflict has since spread to southern Lebanon, a stronghold of the pro-Iranian Shiite militia Hezbollah. Under threat from the “axis of resistance” forces, Israel is waging a war on several fronts, having “deleted” the top executives of Hamas and Hezbollah, starting with their leader Hassan Nasrallah.
