Modi’in, Israel — What’s unfolding in Israel now will mark a paradigm shift in the history of the state, which is facing an unprecedented and coordinated assault. The unfolding carnage caused by Gaza-based terror groups led by the Iran-backed Hamas has resulted in 150 Israelis confirmed dead, with over 1,000 more injured. Dozens have been abducted and taken into Gaza, including women and infants, and entire Israeli towns have been overrun and captured.
The enormous attack coincides with the somber 50th anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, widely regarded as the closest Israel ever came to annihilation. The uncoincidental timing is a clear psychological-warfare tactic, aiming to evoke deeply rooted generational traumas prevalent among many Israelis and signify the revival of the campaign to destroy Israel. Although the conflict is still in its early stages, it’s crucial to understand and analyze the factors that led to this juncture.
