The Palestinian militant organization Hamas launched a large-scale raid on Israel on the 7th, causing heavy casualties. The Israeli government passed a cabinet vote, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially declared war on Hamas and issued a statement vowing to retaliate. The last time Israel entered a state of total war was the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

The Israeli government issued a statement on the 8th, declaring war on Hamas in accordance with Article 40 of Israel’s Basic Law. After Hamas launched the attack on the 7th, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant also stated that the country had entered a “state of war”, but this was only a verbal statement. Israel has officially declared war on Hamas and is expected to launch further military operations to attack the Gaza Strip.

Hamas infiltrated into several Israeli towns on the 7th to launch attacks and fired thousands of rockets into Israel. The Israel Defense Forces counterattacked, carrying out airstrikes on Hamas strongholds in Gaza for two consecutive days.

In addition, many Israeli media, including “Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation”, “Channel 12”, and “The Times of Israel”, pointed out that since Hamas launched the attack, the death toll in Israel has reached 600 and more than 2,000 people have been injured.
