Early in the morning of 7 October 2023, approximately 3000 militants,[11][12] from Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, and DFLP,[13] breached the Gaza fence and attacked multiple locations in Southern Israel.[11][12] After the IDF repelled most of the attacks, the militiants retreated back into Gaza Strip with multiple hostages captured.

Incursions into West Bank

Alongside its invasion into Gaza Strip, Israel has carried out multiple attacks on the territory of Palestinian West Bank, which is partially occupied by the IDF.[102][103] The goal stated by Israel was to eliminate Hamas militiants which fled there from Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Authority, which has not proclaimed itself a supporter of the IDF, is also conducting operations against Hamas militias.[104][105]
