Israeli intelligence had been misled or failed to comprehend the magnitude of Hamas's planning, as only a handful knew about the impending attacks before they occurred.
On 7 October, as thousands of rockets flew from Gaza to Israel, the sheer scale of the assault became clear, leading to a catastrophic loss of life.
In the wake of the attacks, more than 1,200 people, primarily civilians, lost their lives on that day highlighting the devastating impact of the violence.
Following the October attacks, Israel's retaliatory actions have been marked by unprecedented violence, reflecting the brutal scale of the initial Hamas assault.
