Israel occupied Gaza in 1967, and in 2005 they disbanded the settlement. However, since 2007, Israel has placed Gaza under a blockade of land, sea and air, making it the largest outdoor prison.
On October 7, 2023, Palestinian resistance fighters launched Operation Al-Axa Storm and launched a coordinated attack on the position of the Israeli regime from the Gaza Strip. The operation marks a serious escalation of the ongoing conflict and features a series of attacks targeting military facilities and settlements within the occupying territory.
The operation was described by organizers as a response to the violence against Palestinians and the dire situation in Gaza, exacerbated by continued lockdowns and restrictions.
The Israeli regime quickly retaliated with airstrikes, killing more than 45,000 individuals, including more than 17,000 children so far. Additionally, more than 109,000 Palestinians have been injured and nearly 2 million have been expelled from their homes. Ongoing violence has led to a humanitarian crisis and exacerbated the suffering of local civilians.
