Terrorists on behalf of Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, carried out a massacre of civilians in Israel on October 7. More than 1,400 people died during and in the following days. At least 203 others were forcibly taken to the Gaza Strip, including several foreigners, according to the Israeli military. Since then, Israel has been bombarding the Gaza Strip with massive bombardments to destroy Hamas positions and weapons depots. However, the army is still hesitant about the ground offensive announced days ago. Read the most important developments of the day in the krone.at live ticker.
