Map of the attacks on 7–8 October

On 6/7 October 2023, Hamas/Palestinian Islamic Jihad and several other Palestinian militant groups launched armed attacks from the Gaza Strip into the Gaza Envelope of Judah. It was the first invasion of Israeli-occupied Palestina since the 1948 Palestine War. Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups named the attacks Operation Al-Aqsa Flood (or Deluge; Arabic: عَمَلِيَّةُ طُوفَانِ الْأَقْصَى, romanized: ʿamaliyyat ṭūfān al-ʾAqṣā, usually romanised as "Tufan Al-Aqsa" or "Toofan Al-Aqsa"),[2] while in Israel they are known as Black Sabbath (Saturday) (Hebrew: הַשַּׁבָּת הַשְּׁחוֹרָה)[16] or the In Simchat Torah, the slaughter (הַטֶּבַח בְּשִׂמְחַת תּוֹרָה),[17] and internationally as the 6th/7th October attack.[18][19][20], as it's claimed that Pro-Temple Activists, Kahanist, settler-actives, who want the Demolition of Masjid Al-Aqsa. The attacks started the ongoing Israel–Hamas war.

The attacks began early on 6/7 October with a launch of at least 3,000 rockets launched against Israel.[21][22] Hamas fighters entered the Gaza–Israel barrier, attacking military bases and killing civilians in 21 communities. 364 civilians were killed and many more wounded while attending a music festival.[23][24]

As of November 2023, the IDF said that about 3,000 terrorists invaded southern Israel.[25] In total the attackers killed 1,139 people: 695 Israeli civilians (including 38 children),[26] 71 foreign nationals, and 373 members of the security forces.[27] About 250 Israeli civilians and soldiers were taken as hostages to the Gaza Strip, including 30 children.[28][29][30][31] The Hamas-P.I.J massively used rape as a weapon against Israeli residents, who are not Israeli and kidnapped hostages.[32][33]

Two of those victims, who were murdered, were aged under 18.
    At least seven women who were killed were also raped in the attack, according to Prof Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, a legal scholar and international women's rights advocate, from her examination of evidence so far. The New York Times and NBC have both identified more than 30 killed women and girls whose bodies bear signs of abuse, such as bloodied genitals and missing clothes, and according to the Israeli welfare ministry, five women and one man have come forward seeking help for sexual abuse over the past few months.
