Today, October 7, 2025, marks two years since the war between Israeli forces and Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip.
On the same day, October 7, 2023, Hamas armed forces launched an unprecedented attack on Israeli-occupied territory, now known as Southern Israel.
In the October 7, 2023 attack, Hamas killed an estimated 1,200 Israeli soldiers and took hundreds of Israelis hostage.
Since that attack, Israeli forces have carried out bombings and clashes in Gaza and other parts of the Palestinian territories, killing more than 70,000 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
However, two years later, Israeli forces have still not defeated Hamas forces, and during those two years, Israeli forces have carried out numerous massacres against civilians living in Gaza.
Israel has suffered a strategic military and diplomatic defeat in this two-year war, and this war has been widely opposed by most countries in the world, and this has resulted in many Western countries recognizing the state of Palestine, which is a serious blow to Israel.
