[Newtalk新聞] On October 7, Hamas launched a raid on a music festival in the southern Israeli village of Re’im, killing and holding hundreds of civilians in attendance, triggering a broader exchange of fire between the two sides that has continued to this day. . The investigation into this incident of global concern is ongoing, and according to the first Israeli police report, there are indications that Hamas militants had prior knowledge of the event or were unaware of it and decided to attack the target on the spot.

According to the latest statistics from health authorities in the Gaza Strip, more than 12,000 Palestinians have been killed in retaliatory ground and air offensives launched by Israel. The figures released by the unit were recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO).
