The Gaza Strip is a narrow strip of land along the Mediterranean Sea that has around two million Palestinians living on it. It's about 365 square kilometers and has an area of 140 square miles. The strip can be driven across in just one hour. For years, there has been conflict in Gaza because it's under the control of HAMAS, a group that fights against Israel.
The Gaza Strip is a small part of Palestine that's ruled by itself and has a big area around it that's managed by Israel. There's a spot between Egypt and Israel where there are a lot of things that keep people from moving in or out easily. A place near Gaza that Israel controls keeps many things separate, making it hard to find out how much damage was done in air attacks or on the ground. On October 7th, 2023, CNN reported a number of injuries as rockets were fired towards Israel from Gaza in the morning. The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas has caused trouble for people in many places throughout history by being an extreme-right terrorist organization. As of October 8th, 2023 at 5:45 PM EDT, live coverage is showing that there are a lot of new things happening.
The prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced that the country is now at war after a surprise attack from Gaza left at least 40 people dead and caused lots of damage. Palestinian factions in the area called the Gaza Strip fired a barrage of rockets towards Israel, according to witnesses who said they saw it happen. The Gaza City area is currently dark as there's no sunlight out yet.
Palestyńczycy z blokady Gazy uderzili Israel bojówkami, a Izraelczycy rzucali ogromne ilości pocisków. W konsekwencji, śmiertelnie raniono izraelskiego dziennikarza, a medykowie poinformowali, że rannych zostało co najmniej 30 ludzi. Izraelczycy podjęli decyzję o wybuchu wojny domowej ze swoim sąsiadem, gdy Hamas spalił tysiące pocisków i zbrojni przekroczyli granicę.
