Israel launched its extensive military campaign in Gaza to eliminate Hamas following the group's attack on Israel on October 6. In that attack, Hamas and its allies killed over 1,200 people, mostly civilians. The attackers also took around 240 people hostage and brought them to Gaza. So far, about half of the hostages have been released. Israel's military campaign in Gaza has sparked widespread protests. Hamas, which is supported by the Islamic Republic, is designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States.
