Netanyahu uppges ha känt till Hamas planer 2018

On 7 October 2023, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and several other Palestinian militant groups launched armed attacks from the Gaza Strip into the Gaza Envelope. 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"), while in Israel they are known as Black Sabbath (Saturday) (Hebrew: הַשַּׁבָּת הַשְּׁחוֹרָה) or the October 7 Massacre (טֶבַח שִׁבְעָה בְּאוֹקְטוֹבֶּר), and internationally as the October 7 attack and the October 7 Massacre. The attacks started the ongoing Israel–Hamas war. The attacks began early on October 7th with a launch of at least 3,000 rockets launched toward Israeli military bases. Hamas terrorists entered the Gaza–Israel barrier. Whilst the primary targets of the attack were civilians, hamas also attacked military bases . One of the central mass killings of hamas has occurred in The Nova music Festival. 364 civilians were killed by Hamas, and a small minority was accidentally killed by the IDF that has come to the place and tried to prevent hamas from killing civilians, many more wounded while attending the music festival. As of November 2023, the IDF said that about 3,000 Hamas invaded southern Israel. In total the attackers killed 1,189 people: 815 Israeli civilians (including 38 children) , 71 foreign nationals, and 373 members of the security forces.IDF's defensive operations resulted in the deaths of many Israeli civilians." About 250 Israeli civilians and soldiers were taken as hostages to the Gaza Strip, including 30 children."The Israeli military’s retaliatory campaign has been characterized as a war of genocide targeting the Palestinian population in Gaza. These widespread hostilities have resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian toll, with civilian fatalities exceeding 100,000—the vast majority of whom are women and children. Furthermore, the systematic bombardment has forced the mass displacement of over a million individuals, creating an unprecedented refugee crisis, while military operations have also led to the deaths of numerous hostages."
