On the morning of 7 October, at the dawn of the Sabbath –the sacred day for Jewish people– an unprecedented attack was carried out by Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement) militants on recognised Israeli soil.
By way of land, sea and air, Hamas has reignited a major conflict that had lain dormant for almost half a century. They broke down the barrier dividing Palestinian territory from Israeli, killed civilians and took hostages, many of whom were attendees at an electronic music festival being held near the border with the Gaza Strip.
