As of October 7, 2023, the situation in Israel is tense due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. Hamas militants fired thousands of rockets and sent dozens of fighters into Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip in an unprecedented surprise attack. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel is "at war" following the attack from Gaza by Hamas militants. Hospitals in Israel are treating hundreds of wounded people, including dozens in critical condition. At least 22 people have been injured in attacks targeting Hamas’s security outposts in the besieged enclave. Israel says civilians and soldiers are held hostage in Gaza after a major Palestinian attack. Médecins Sans Frontièrs (MSF) reported that a nurse and an ambulance driver have been killed in Israeli strikes on two hospitals located in Gaza. The situation is being closely monitored by the international community, with leaders from various countries condemning the attacks and expressing solidarity with the victims.
