Israel gifted Gaza to Palestinians as peace gesture, Hamas responded by using it to lauch attacks at them: All you need to know

Op India  

In the early hours of October 7 morning, while the rest of the world was still sleeping and Israel was celebrating Simchat Torah, the day when Jews finish the yearly cycle of reading the Torah scroll, Palestine’s Islamist terrorist outfit Hamas struck Israel in multiple locations and by a number of different means, completely taking it by surprise. Additionally, Palestinian terrorists also launched massive rocket barrages at southern and central Israel from the Gaza Strip prompting it to declare a ‘state of war’. As Israeli forces continue to counterattack and battle to retake regions that the Hamas terrorists have taken over and the situation in the war-torn nation remains serious, here is an interesting piece of trivia about the Gaza Strip from where the Hamas terrorists launched the recent attacks against Israel. PM Ariel Sharon discussing plans for temporary housing of settlers being ‘evacuated’ from the Gaza Strip To secure peace for the Palestinians, the Israel Defense Forces evicted Israeli citizens, demolished Israeli-owned buildings and evacuated security personnel. How Gaza is used as a terror launch pad against Israel Although the most recent attack on Israel is thought to be the worst by Hamas in the past 50 years, the Islamist terrorists have been using the Gaza Strip, which Israel gave them as a gift as a gesture of peace, to launch thousands of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel.
