Air raid sirens sounded in the southern Israeli city of Eilat, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
“Sirens sounded in Eilat, southern Israel” – says a message on the IDF Telegram channel.
On October 7, 2023, Israel came under an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. Hamas militants then entered the border areas, opened fire on soldiers and civilians and took more than 200 hostages. According to authorities, around 1.2 thousand people died.
The Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip, which included strikes against civilian targets. Israel announced a complete blockade of the enclave: supplies of water, electricity, fuel, food and medicine were cut off. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health of the Gaza Strip, the death toll from Israeli attacks on the enclave since October 7, 2023 has exceeded 41.5 thousand and more than 96 thousand injured.
In fact, the Gaza Strip has been divided into southern and northern parts; Israel is carrying out a ground operation in Rafah, which is considered the last stronghold of Hamas.
