"Shunned History" is all about digging into the hidden corners of political history around the globe. Ever been curious about why certain events went down the way they did? Who had a stake in the game? And what unfolded afterward? Well, tune in and get ready to uncover the truth!
In today's episode, our host David Walker will tell us about The Palestinian-Israeli conflict. On October 7, 2023, which coincided with the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, Palestinian terrorist groups, with Hamas being the largest among them, launched a large-scale invasion of Israel from the Gaza Strip. They fired up to 5,000 rockets into Israel. Subsequently, the militants breached the border and infiltrated nearby Israeli communities and military installations. Mass killings of both civilians and military personnel, violence against women, and hostage takings were reported.
In response, Israel, for the first time since the Yom Kippur War in 1973, declared a state of emergency and launched airstrikes on targets within the Gaza Strip. This escalation represents the most significant challenge to a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
Today, we delve into the history of a conflict that has persisted for many decades.
