Tensions in the Middle East flared up again on October 7, 2023, when fighters from the Gaza-based Palestinian radical group Hamas made a surprise incursion into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip. Hamas described its attack as a response to the Israeli authorities' aggressive actions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City. In response, Israel has declared a state of war emergency; it has declared a total blockade of the Gaza Strip, where 2.3 million Palestinians live, and has launched air strikes on the enclave and parts of Lebanon and Syria, to be followed by a ground operation in the enclave. Clashes are also taking place in the West Bank.
