Hamas attack on Israel

Mohammed Abu Ataoui, a commander from Hamas’ Nukhba force who led the murder and kidnapping of Israelis from a shelter near Kibbutz Re’im, was killed on Wednesday in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip, announced the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet on Thursday (October 24).

Following confirmation of the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the orchestrator of the October 7 attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the people of Gaza, stating that the conflict could end as soon as tomorrow if Hamas agrees to disarm and release the hostages. Netanyahu shared a video on X, saying, "Yahya Sinwar is dead.

"I have nightmares every day; it was as if I was killed, and today I have to be reborn," Mazal Tazazo tells Kathimerini. On October 7, 2023, she was with her friends at the Nova music festival in Israel when the terrorists attacked. She pretended to be dead as Hamas men were killing anyone in their path nearby.

To mark the one-year anniversary tomorrow of the deadly Hamas attack, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has released footage of the tragic moments of October 7. The attack that day, which marked the region, led to fierce fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas.

“It was still dark when I put the first vinyl on the set,” recalls Israeli DJ Artifex in an interview with DW in Berlin. It was 5.35am. The perfect time for the Israeli DJ named Yarin Ilovitch. Shortly afterwards the first rays of sunlight appeared over the desert. Minute by minute the sky was getting brighter and brighter.

A nationwide strike aimed at ramping up pressure on Israel's government to secure the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza was set to begin Monday.

Sources from the Israeli negotiating team accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to "blow up" the talks and obstruct reaching a hostage swap deal with Hamas, the Israeli public broadcaster KAN said Tuesday.

The Israeli army announced yesterday that it had discovered the bodies of five hostages who were killed by the Palestinian group Hamas during their attack on October 7. These hostages were subsequently held in the Gaza Strip, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), as reported by Reuters.

The U.N. voiced alarm on Tuesday at the civilian toll of Israel's rescue of four hostages in Gaza, and the fact that Palestinian armed groups are holding captives there.

The United Nations rights office said acts committed by both Israelis and Palestinians "may amount to war crimes".
