Massacres, hostage taking, and associated destruction of infrastructure[change | change source]


Early in the morning of 7 October 2023, approximately 3000 militants,[77][78] from Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, and DFLP,[79] breached the Gaza fence and attacked multiple locations in Southern Israel.[77][78] Following this the IDF blckaided, bombed, and then invaded the Gaza Strip.

Israeli first responders reportedly recovered documents from killed militants' bodies with instructions to attack civilians, including elementary schools and a youth center, to "kill as many people as possible", and to take hostages for use in future negotiations.[source?] [80][81][82][83]

Geographical distribution of the main ethno-cultural communities in the Southern District in 2008.[84]

Table of locations[change | change source]

(For mass casualty events caused by airstrikes - see below)

DD hh:mm (use 24 hr time, note if time is approximate)
  1. Population data from 2017 unless otherwise stated.[85][86]
  2. Most of the civilian areas on the Israeli side of the Gaza border had lightly armed volunteer security teams.[6]
  3. Includes on duty police, military, and other professional armed security forces. Off duty IDF reservists were counted as civilians, so some available lists of names include more people with military ranks than the official number of military deaths.[source?]
  4. The 7 October attacks were planned by Hamas and led by their militant wing the Al-Qassam Brigades, but 3 other groups also claimed the attacks. The other 3 factions involved were a Sunni / Pan-Islamic [source?] Islamist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad's militant wing Saraya Al-Quds, and two much smaller Marxists / Nationalist factions the PFLP and DFLP. After the attacks Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) claimed they were holding at least 30 hostages.[87] A small number of hostages, including the youngest, were only ever publicly described as being held by "other groups" - this could have been the PFLP or DFLP. [source?]
  5.
