The office of Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that instructions have been issued to the military to raise alertness levels and prepare for all scenarios in Gaza ahead of the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 attacks.
Katz warned that "if Hamas targets Israeli soldiers in Gaza tomorrow, we will respond beyond all limits," citing intelligence reports indicating the movement’s intention to launch attacks to mark the date.
Starting Monday, extensive events commenced across Israel to commemorate the October 7 attacks that targeted 21 settlements and 11 military outposts in the Gaza envelope three years ago.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated in statements on Monday that Hamas "will not rule Gaza," vowing to pursue all individuals involved in the October 7 attacks or in holding Israelis in the enclave.
Netanyahu added that Israel will continue military strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon and will not allow Iran to maintain its threats, repeating assertions that the military has established security buffer zones across Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.
The Israeli Prime Minister stated that his country achieved what he described as military gains across multiple fronts, while acknowledging that operational objectives remain unfulfilled.
On October 7, 2023, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced the launch of Operation "Al-Aqsa Flood," executing a joint attack with Palestinian factions against military posts, bases, and settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip, and taking Israelis into the territory.
Following the operation, Israel launched a devastating war on Gaza, resulting in the deaths of over 74,000 Palestinians and injuring more than 175,000, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Health in Gaza, while destroying approximately 90 percent of the enclave's infrastructure.
