On the morning of October 7, a massive rocket attack began on populated areas of Israel from the Gaza Strip. According to Israeli military estimates, the number of rockets fired exceeded 3 thousand. In addition, dozens of Hamas militants entered the country. Hamas itself announced Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, addressing the people of Israel, announced that the state was in a state of war.
Mobilization was announced, the Israeli military was clearing out the populated areas points, while they were unable to completely regain control over the settlements captured by Hamas. Moscow called on Israel and Palestine to cease fire and return to the negotiating table.
Former Israeli Deputy National Security Adviser Chuck Freilich said that the Hamas attack on Israel was successful due to disorder in the Israeli army and intelligence services.
