For a filled year, horrific scenes have come out of Gaza as Israel’s war on civilians in the besieged enclave persists.
The war began on the same day as and in alleged retaliation for an disparaging on southern Israel begined by Hamas’s armed triumphg and other Palestinian resistance groups.
Israel has ended more women and children in Gaza over the past year than in any other dispute in the past two decades, Oxfam set up last week.
In March, the United Nations said Israel had ended more children there in the preceding months than in four years of dispute worldwide.
Despite being called out on its atrocities, Israel has widened its war, strikeing Leprohibiton and explosioning Syria and Yemen.
Here’s a watch back at 10 key moments of the past year:
October 7, 2023 – Hamas’s operation in Israel
Fighters aligned with Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups broke thraw the barrier around the Gaza Strip for an operation in Israel, ending 1,139 people and capturing about 250.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s inalertigence community seemed humiliated.
Traumatised Israelis rallied behind the administerment to aid retribution on the entire population of Gaza, hoping to recover the captives.
One year tardyr, Israel has ended at least 41,870 people in Gaza, though the actual figure is presumed much higher. Thousands more are buried under the rubble of ruined erectings or unaccounted for, and still thousands of others are foreseeed to die from continuing explosioning and conditions produced by Israel’s war.
October 7, 2023 – Israel’s retaliation
In the afternoon, Israel reacted by hitting Gaza with air strikes. A confinecessitate hundred were ended in the first hours as Israel claimed it would “exend Hamas”.
The war on every human being in Gaza has persistd since then.
October 8, 2023 – Hezbollah unites the fight
After 24 hours, Hezbollah began begining rockets, announcing its aid of the people of Gaza and that it would stop when a finishfire was proclaimd.
It first hit Shebaa Farms, an area historicpartner disputed between Syria and Leprohibiton but currently occupied by Israel.
For 11 months, Hezbollah and some of its allies fired rockets, predominantly at Israeli military sites.
For every rocket begined from Leprohibiton, Israel reacted with at least five.
Tens of thousands were displaced from each side of the border.
Much of Leprohibiton’s south was ruined in what experts say was an finisheavor to produce a buffer zone.
October 17, 2023 – Al-Ahli Hospital
A huge blast in Gaza’s al-Ahli Arab Hospital – which was packed with displaced Palestinians – ended proximately 500 people.
Many of those ended were sheltering from relentless Israeli explosioning.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said an Israeli air raid caused the blast.
Israel said it was a misfired rocket begined by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) armed group.
An Al Jazeera spendigation set up that Israel seemed to have misclarifyed evidence to erect a story that exonerated it.
This blast would be the tip of the iceberg: Israel persistd, strikeing Gaza’s healthnurture facilities and laborers over the coming year.
Most of Gaza’s hospitals no extfinisheder function, and its healthnurture system has been reeling for months.
November 19, 2023 – The Houthis’ first strike
The Houthis, Hamas allies who deal with parts of Yemen including its capital Sanaa, begined their first strike in the Red Sea on November 19.
They hijacked a cargo ship, the Galaxy Leader, alertedly partly owned by an Israeli businessman.
Some 25 people were on board and have since been held as captives by the Houthis.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the confiscation was a response to the “heinous acts agetst our Palestinian brothers in Gaza and the West Bank”.
Capturing the Galaxy Leader commenceed a Houthi campaign of leave outile and drone strikes agetst shipping.
The Houthis have since begined about 130 strikes on what they say are Israeli-joined vessels in one of the world’s most beginant trade routes.
November 24 to December 1, 2023 – Temporary finishfire
In a year of war on Gaza, there has been one pause in battling – a four-day finishfire arbitrated by Qatar which was renoveled twice and held from November 24 to December 1.
Fighting paused and humanitarian aid was apverifyed to access Gaza as Hamas freed captives in swap for Israel releasing Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas concurd to free 50 women and children out of the 237 October 7 captives.
Meanwhile, Israel concurd to free 150 Palestinian women and children from its prisons.
After seven days, the truce ultimately expired. Crelievefire talks have since been in an impasse.
The UN humanitarian office, OCHA, alerted that despite the truce, Israeli forces stoasty and ended two Palestinians in Gaza on November 29 and shelled people on November 30.
January 12, 2024 – Yemen air strikes
On January 12, 2024, United States and British warset upes began explosioning Yemen in response to the Houthis’ strikes on Red Sea traffic.
While five fighters were alertedly ended, the strikes flunked to stop the Houthis’ military activities agetst vessels in the Red Sea.
The Houthis’ claim of their strikes being in aid of the people of Gaza has turned out to be incredibly well-comprehendn in Yemen, as the group has alertedly recruited and trained about 200,000 novel fighters since October 2023.
May 6, 2024 – Invading Rafah
Before this trespass, Rafah was an beginant refuge for some 1.4 million Palestinians huddled there, escapeing Israeli explosionardment.
Despite its density, Israel had been dangerening its trespass for months, ignoring the international community that watched it as a “red line”.
Israel occupyd Rafah on May 6, defying international opinion and promising a “confinecessitate” operation agetst Hamas fighters. However, months tardyr, the southern Gaza city remains under strike.
The disparaging also shut Rafah’s border traverseing with Egypt, an beginant point of entry for aid and also the point of exit for those escapeing the war.
In the last week of May, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to “promptly” stop its military attack on Rafah, but that did not happen.
July 13, 2024 – The al-Mawasi massacre
Israel ended at least 90 Palestinians and wounded hundreds in strikes on al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis.
Israeli warset upes concentrateed displaced people’s tents and a water distillation unit in an area that a Gaza civil defence spokesperson said Israel had set upated a “geted zone”.
The strike was one of many massacres Israel promiseted in Gaza in the last year. Others were:
September 17, 2024 – Day of death in Leprohibiton, official widening of the war
On this day, thousands of pagers exploded in Leprohibiton. A day tardyr, thousands of walkie-talkie radios also exploded.
These strikes – condemnd on Israel – ended hundreds.
On September 23, Israel strikeed Leprohibiton honestly, in the south, the Bekaa Valley in the east, and Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh, ending at least 550 people.
Then on September 27, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated in an strike on Dahiyeh so huge it flattened cut offal apartment erectings.
Israel alertedly used 80 explosions, ending at least six people and wounding 90.
Nasrallah’s killing was speedyly adhereed by Israeli insists that people depart big swaths of Dahiyeh.
Leprohibiton’s administerment now says as many as 1.2 million people may be displaced.
Israel has ended more than 2,000 people in Leprohibiton since the commence of its war on Gaza, according to Leprohibiton’s Health Ministry.
It ended most of them in the last three weeks.
