Three years since October 7th fence breach to conflict
The war that began on October 7, 2023, started with Hamas militants infiltrating Israel's border, leading to the breach of defensive barriers and an extensive attack on southern Israel. This resulted in the death of approximately 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of 251 hostages inside the Gaza Strip. This operation escalated regional conflicts, as the confrontation expanded to include Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen, transforming the area into a wide-scale battleground affecting international trade routes and waterways such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Since then, the region has experienced unprecedented escalation, with extensive destruction of infrastructure in Gaza, a rising toll of casualties and injuries, intensive military operations, and shifts in regional power dynamics and influence, leading to profound changes in the map of influence and stability across the Middle East.
