Hamas's Oct 7th Nova Festival Massacre to Killing of Yahya Sinwar: Key Events of Israel-Hamas War

The Israel-Hamas conflict has been marked by pivotal moments of violence and tension. The war escalated dramatically on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel during the Shemini Atzeret holiday, including the massacre at the Nova Music Festival. The assault, which involved a barrage of rockets and the infiltration of militants into Israel, resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people, with families targeted in their homes in kibbutzim. The brutal nature of this attack prompted Israel to declare a state of war, followed by a complete siege of Gaza. The humanitarian toll was staggering, with over 1.4 million Palestinians displaced in the ensuing weeks. The war continued with significant losses on both sides, including the deaths of high-ranking individuals such as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. On October 17, 2024, Sinwar was killed in an Israeli operation, marking a key turning point in the conflict #HamasAttack #NovaFestivalMassacre #IsraelHamasWar #October7Attack #YahyaSinwar #IsraelWar #HamasConflict #MiddleEastCrisis #GazaSiege #IsraelDefenseForces #HostageRescue #WarToll #HumanitarianCrisis #IsraelMilitaryOps #MiddleEastTensions

‘No One Will Be Left…’: Al-Quds Brigades’ Warning Video Shocks Israeli; Ultimatum For Netanyahu

The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, has released a chilling video titled "No One Will Be Left to Tell the Tale... Time is Running Out," sending a stark warning to Israel. The video highlights the dire consequences of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's continued delay in finalizing a captive exchange and ceasefire agreement. It specifically raises alarms about the lives of Israeli captives held in Gaza, with the brigades making clear that the delay could lead to irreversible harm. The warning comes amidst Israel’s ongoing military aggression in Gaza, which has already claimed the lives of numerous Israeli captives over the past year. Israeli media recently reported on a failed rescue mission that tragically resulted in the death of captive Sahar Baruch, 25, while attempting to free another Israeli, Noa Argamani. This incident has intensified concerns about the risk to captives, as public opinion in Israel shifts, with 74% of Israelis now supporting a comprehensive deal to return all captives, even if it means ending the war. #AlQudsBrigades #IsraelCaptives #NetanyahuUltimatum #GazaCrisis #CaptiveExchange #TimeIsRunningOut #IsraeliHostages #CeasefireDeal #PalestinianResistance #IsraelGazaConflict #GazaWar #AlQudsBrigadesWarning #SaveIsraeliCaptives #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelWar ~PR.152~ED.346~HT.318~GR.122~
