On October 23, 2023, Israel launched a series of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the strikes were in response to rocket fire from the region, which is controlled by the Palestinian militant group, Hamas. The IDF reported that they targeted Hamas military infrastructure, including a weapons manufacturing site.

Hamas, on the other hand, claimed that the Israeli strikes caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure, including homes and schools. The group also accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement that ended the 11-day conflict in May 2023.

The IDF has not confirmed any casualties from the strikes, while Hamas reported several injuries but no deaths. The situation in Gaza remains tense, with both sides blaming each other for the escalation of violence. The international community has called for restraint and a return to the ceasefire agreement.
