An ongoing armed conflict between Palestinian militant groups led by Hamas[40][l] and Israel began on 7 October 2023,[41][42][43] with a coordinated surprise offensive on Israel. The attack began in the morning with a barrage of at least 3,000 rockets launched from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip against Israel.[44] In parallel, some 2,500 Palestinian militants breached the Gaza–Israel barrier and massacred civilians in neighboring Israeli communities.[45] At least 1,400 Israelis were killed,[30] including 260 people at a music festival in Re'im.[46][47][48] Unarmed civilian hostages and captured Israeli soldiers were taken to the Gaza Strip, including women and children.[49][50][51][52] Israel began conducting retaliatory strikes[53] before formally declaring war on Hamas a day later.[53]

The massacre at the "Supernova Sukkot Gathering" dance music fest outside the Re'im kibbutz became the deadliest concert attack in history.[54] Hamas launched its attacks during the end of the Sukkot Jewish holiday and 50 years after the "Yom Kippur War" in 1973.[43][55]
