Many Israelis had no life after the Black Shabbat on October 7, 2023. An estimated 3,000 Hamas terrorists killed 1,400 and injured about 5,300 Israelis living along the Gaza border in southern Israel. Jewish communities as Nir Oz (see the location in the Gaza map)─lost over half of their population in the attack. Since the end of the Holocaust, not so many Jews have been murdered in one single day. In the attack, Hamas terrorists damaged or destroyed 28 Jewish communities along the Gaza border.
Then, about a week later, the Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon opened fire, hitting Israel’s northern communities with rockets. Also, a few Hezbollah terrorists entered Israel only to be eliminated. In the coming days, the Israeli government ordered close to one hundred Jewish communities near the Gaza and Lebanon borders to be evacuated. About 300,000 Israelis are now internally displaced. Many had already left voluntarily and moved temporarily to other parts of the country.
An estimated 470 of the Hamas rockets have so far misfired and landed in the Gaza Strip, killing and injuring their people. When one of the misfired rockets hit a hospital’s parking lot in Gaza, the Arab world and many Western capitals (including New York) erupted with riots, blaming Israel for the attack.
Hamas’ rockets from Gaza have reached many of Israel’s population centers, such as Sderot, Ashkelon, Haifa, Tel Aviv, Eilat, and even Jerusalem. Hardly any location in the country is out of the reach of the rockets, especially when the fire comes from the north over the Lebanon border.

As Israel has responded to the daily rocket fire, Hamas is crying for the difficulties they claim that Gazans are now experiencing─at the hands of their own government. It has been reported that the people lack food, water and electricity; however, they still have plenty of rockets and mortars. As Israel has urged Gazans from the northern part of the Strip to move to the south, Hamas has opposed it, not allowing the Gazans to withdraw safely. In addition, the leaders of Jordan and Egypt are refusing to accept any of the Gazan Palestinians to their countries!
