In the year since Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Israeli attacks have targeted all aspects of life in Gaza, including housing, medical care, education, houses of religious worship, electricity, and water infrastructure, in an effort to make Gaza uninhabitable.
The Civil Defense Directorate reports that in the past year, Israeli forces have carried out 3,654 massacres, killing 41,870 people and leaving another 10,000 missing.
Israeli airstrikes have wiped out 902 entire families, while 36 people have starved to death due to the Israeli siege.
Among those killed, 986 were medical staff, or about one in every 40 people killed.

Of the 1,245 mosques in Gaza, 815 have been destroyed, in addition to three churches.
Some 200,000 housing units were destroyed, using 85,000 tons of explosives, an amount equivalent to six of the atom bombs used in Hiroshima during World War II.
Israeli forces have destroyed 3,130 kilometers of electricity networks, 330,000 meters of water networks, 655,000 meters of sewage networks, and 2,835,000 meters of road and street networks.
In total, 86 percent of the Gaza Strip has been destroyed, the Civil Defense Directorate determined.
On 7 October last year, the Islamic resistance movement Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Fighters from the Hamas armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, broke out of Gaza to attack Israeli military bases and settlements besieging the enclave.
The goal of Hamas was to capture soldiers in exchange for Palestinians held in Israeli prisons and put the issue of Israel’s occupation of Palestine back on the international agenda.
Israel responded to the attack by dispatching attack helicopters, drones, and tanks, killing both Hamas fighters and Israelis being taken captive by the group back to Gaza under the Hannibal Directive.

Roughly 1,139 Israelis were killed on 7 October. Some were killed by Hamas, while many were burned alive by missiles and large caliber ammunition fired from the Israeli tanks, helicopters, and drones, including at the Nova music festival, on the Gaza–Israel border, and in Israeli settlements (kibbutz).
Israel claimed all the victims on 7 October were killed by Hamas while inventing stories about Hamas fighters committing atrocities, such as beheading babies and carrying out mass rape.
Israel then used these fabricated atrocities as a pretext for genocide, including tightening the siege on Gaza further, unleashing a horrific bombing campaign with a near-unlimited flow of US bombs, and launching a ground invasion into the enclave.
