A Look at the Phases of the War Between Israel & Hamas Over the Past Year | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Some are calling this a war of attrition and one of the driving factors is Israel's continued search for leaders of Hamas. In response to the massive Hamas terrorist attack of October 7th, Israel initiated Operation Swords of Iron, a sustained air, sea and land campaign to destroy the group's military capacity in Gaza. As the year progressed, Israel launched counterterrorism operations in the West Bank, and more recently Lebanon. By October 13th, Israel Defense Forces began ramping up its retaliation campaign. Israel ordered more than one million Palestinians in Northern Gaza to evacuate their homes immediately. By this point, the Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry reported more than 2,000 people had been killed in a week. By the end of the year, the scale of destruction in Gaza underscored the intensity of the fighting as more than a third of the buildings has been damaged. In Lebanon, tensions have escalated with battles between Hezbollah and Israel. And still a year later, tensions are increasing with the most recent attack from Iran. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
