The Palestinian Hamas controls the Gaza Strip and began the war with a large -scale attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. In doing so, it committed rocket fire, targeted massacre in border communities and took hundreds of hostages. Internationally, Hamas is classified by many countries as a terrorist organization. Israel reacted with massive air strikes and a soil offensive that caused high number of victims and destruction in the Gaza Strip. While Israel describes his approach as self -defense, critics speak of disproportionate violence. Both sides suffer human, economic and social losses.
