Abstract: On 7 October, Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) military commander Mohammed Deif released a pre-recorded speech announcing the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and stating that 5,000 rockets had been fired at Israel targeting enemy positions, airports and military positions. . Air-raid sirens continued to be sounded in southern and central Israel, including the economic capital of Tel Aviv, and explosions were heard over a number of Israeli towns close to the Gaza Strip. Subsequently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a state of war in his country, and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched Operation Iron Sword, a military operation targeting armed groups in the Gaza Strip, and mobilized tens of thousands of reserve soldiers. Since then, the world has been stunned by the rapidly rising daily casualty figures on both sides of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and words such as conflict, death, retaliation, hatred, turmoil, suffering and hopelessness have once again brought the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which is a difficult issue of global governance, before the world's eyes.
