Israel Vs. Hamas, but innocent children pay the cost on both ends.

 The relationship between Israel and Palestine is marked by a long-standing and complex conflict, often referred to as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This conflict centers around competing national and territorial claims in the same region. Israel was established as a state in 1948, primarily as a homeland for Jewish people, while Palestinians also claim historical ties to the land. The conflict has resulted in multiple wars, negotiations, and ongoing tensions, with both sides seeking sovereignty over the same territories, particularly the West Bank and The Gaza Strip. Efforts to find a peaceful resolution continue, but the situation remains one of the most enduring and contentious conflicts in the world.

And that leads us to October 7th, of 2023 the day HAMAS breached through Israel’s Iron Wall. 

If you guys have never seen the wall this is a photo of the wall… and what it looks like. 

• The wall is approximately 64 kilometers long, and 6 meters tall. 
• Now, how did Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, breached Israel's security wall? 

Well, before the Hamas Group broke through the wall; the wall was thought to be extremely safe with a very secure team of Israeli soldiers patrolling all along the wall. With Israeli Guard towers positioned every 152.4 meters along the wall, Israeli citizens were guaranteed safety from the government, but the course has changed on October 7th, 2023 at around 6:30 a.m. local time, when the Hamas Group rained thousands of rockets down on Israel and infiltrated the country by air, sea and land in an unprecedented surprise attack. 

Hamas breached Israel's security wall using a series of coordinated efforts. The "smart fence" separating Israel from Gaza is equipped with advanced technology, including cameras, radar, sensors, razor wire, a 20-foot-high metal fence, underground sensors to detect tunnels, and an underground concrete barrier. Despite these measures, Hamas managed to breach the fence at 29 points, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Their approach involved a multi-pronged strategy, including:

• Drones: Hamas used commercial drones to drop explosives on Israeli observation towers, communications infrastructure, and weapon systems along the border.

• Rocket Fire: They launched over 3,000 rockets into Israel, some reaching as far as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

• Manpower: Militants on fan-powered hang gliders crossed the border.

• Explosives: Sections of the barrier were blown up using explosives, and individuals on motorbikes drove through the gaps.

• Bulldozers: To widen the breaches, bulldozers were employed, allowing larger vehicles to pass through.

This coordinated effort enabled Hamas to breach the highly secure barrier, demonstrating the challenges in maintaining border security. 

… fast ⏩ forward nearly two weeks, and Gaza is enduring intense assaults by the Israeli Defense Forces, resulting in a tragic toll of 3,478 fatalities and over 13,000 injuries. In contrast, Israel has reported 1,400 casualties and 3,400 injuries since the unprecedented attack launched by the Hamas Group on October 7th, as confirmed by Israeli authorities.

To be continued.
