Based on the search results, on October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, tearing down large parts of the Gaza security fence using tractors, RPGs, and thousands of armed terrorists. This attack led to the 2023 Israel-Hamas war, with Palestinian militant groups led by Hamas launching over 3,500 rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel. Over 250 Israelis were killed, and 1,590 were wounded, with civilians and soldiers held hostage in Gaza. The attack drew swift retaliation from Israel, and the conflict resulted in serious repercussions, including the establishment of a commission of inquiry to determine responsibility for all the failures. The aftermath of the attack was covered by various news outlets, including PBS News Weekend.
